What weird news stories open the episode and set the tone?
Doorbell prankster that tormented German resident apartments turns out to be a slug.
Ding dong.
Hi, I'm Kurt Braunohler. And I'm Scotty Landis. They say no news is good news. But weird news? That's bananas. Every Tuesday on our podcast, Bananas, we find the strangest true stories from around the world and try to understand what the hell is going on. Man rescued by firefighters after getting stuck in a phone booth trying to order a kebab. Man, you did it. You wowed me. We cover important discoveries, questionable decisions, and animals behaving exactly as badly as you know you want them to. China's first corgi police dog's in trouble again. Uh-oh, what'd he do this time? He stole a sausage from a child. Classic dog stuff. That's it. With more than 400 episodes, there's always more weird news waiting for you on Bananas.
Listen to Bananas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We've all heard the phrase, all things in moderation, but that's clearly not us. That's why we're celebrating 300 episodes of That's Messed Up, our Law & Order SVU podcast, where we cover the real crimes behind the stories and interview actors from the show. We're doing it big for the 300th episode. We've got icon, heartthrob, and SVU guest star, John Stamos, and we're best friends now. In waiting for Guffman, Chris... Are you serious? It's like her favorite movie. That's like my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it like 150 times. Me too. Oh my God. New episodes of That's Messed Up drop Tuesdays. Listen to That's Messed Up on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
We're going to start by saying Jeff has been noticing your comments. And he has a response to some criticism that's been coming in. So Jeff-like to read
them discreetly and then not address them anywhere but on air. Totally.
Just reply to anyone. Okay, so that's coming up in What's On Your Mind. We've got a brand new second date as well. Laser Stories is, oh my God, a doozy today. It's a good one. Good is a word. You'll never look at cats the same again after today's laser stories. So
before we do it, let's get to your comments. Amber Naylor said, it's been fun to go back and listen to old recordings. I recently heard about Alexis, and now this is the first time I heard about Austin, which I'm going to think she means Ashton. I don't know for sure.
Can't confirm. Austin would make, that would really hip up your name a little bit. Wow.
You know what I mean?
Wow.
I'm not hip?
Look at my
hat right
now, Brooke. It's not even on your head all the way. Exactly. And I know for a fact that was a freebie from a baseball
game. Yeah, I definitely got this hat from Brooke. Yeah. Which, yeah, it wasn't from a baseball game. It was Mariner swag that they gave to Brooke.
They're like, give it to all my children. My kids got one and asked me. That's how the swag
works around here. All right.
Let's get to your brand new full hour right now.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and if you follow anyone younger and hipper than you, or
celebs... Well, I wish I knew someone younger and hipper than me. Nobody in this room.
Then you've probably noticed there's a new duck face type of trend for photos going right now. It's called the boob rest pose. And it's not really new, but it's definitely reached the mainstream this year, especially with Gen Z. And if you don't know, it's where a woman casually places their hand near their chest or collarbone or neck area.
Yes.
It's like a little bit flirty, but it mostly projects the vibe like, oh, you caught me off guard. Let me daintily place my hand here while you take that photo of me.
I see. There's a picture of Kylie Jenner doing just that. I wish I could pull it off like that.
I
think it's funny you shared a picture of Paris Hilton. She doesn't have much
to rest on. It's fine. The Paris Hilton in there is showing the comparison of what used to be the cool pose for women. With the hand on the hips. But now they're placing their hands on their chest. It
looks better. I have found that any sort of hand up in the photo, for some reason, I don't know if it distracts from my face and that's why I like
