Do you dare to touch the frozen banana? We did, and we lived to tell you about it in excruciating detail. You are going to be so proud of how many monkey and human anatomy jokes we resisted making on this show.

This podcast gave me serious disgust chills, but man! Hilarious! And I like bananas at the ends of the ripeness spectrum; I like to eat a banana as-is when it’s yellow with some tinge of green (I like them starchy and firm), and I like to use nearly-rotted bananas in quick breads, muffins, pancakes, smoothies…Yum-nana.
And guess what? The little bananas are called Lady Finger bananas! So Molly was double-right. And both of you are funny.
Loved this episode. I had a roommate once who kept bananas in the freezer . . . and not in a plastic bag. This practice eventually left the floor of our freezer with a thick layer of brown banana sludge that, let me tell you, was NOT fun to remove when we defrosted the fridge!
*shiver*
Oh, my, that was disgusting. But funny! Love it when you crack yourself up, Molly.
For the record, neither of my children would ever eat bananas, still won’t, but do like banana bread. And I will take mine green, please.
(Matthew, we made a pledge and hope you reach your goal)
Everybody out there–get pledging!
Matthew – you mentioned the stringy black stuff in banana bread. I actually did a biology experiment on banana DNA a long long time ago in high school. If I remember correctly, the black stuff is actually banana DNA.
Mathew was telling the truth about Preserved Fish!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preserved_Fish
Megan, my favorite part of this is: “Preserved Fish was born in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, the son of a blacksmith who was also named Preserved Fish. The blacksmith’s father was Preserved Fish as well, but that Fish’s father was named Thomas.”
I also had a roommate who would freeze bananas sans plastic bag and thaw them in the fridge sans plate. And since my designated shelf was below hers I always had banana goo all over my produce. yeah.
because of this I freeze my bananas already peeled and in a plastic bag so once they are thawed I dump out the bag into the mixer.
