Pick of the Day: The Bananas Podcast Splitty in the City 1K (in LA) 7/29
Many a years ago, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for Kurt Braunohler to bring the extraordinary into many of our humdrum lives. Whether it’s introducing every comic the same way on Hot Tub because it’s Groundhog Day, making it snow in LA, jet skiing the Mississippi River, etc., Braunohler has a knack for bring sublimely ridiculous.
Well, he’s at it again as the podcast he co-hosts with Scotty Landes, Bananas, is not only doing a live episode next weekend, but having it be preceded by a 1K downhill jog (pointedly being called an “un-race”) right before the recording/show. Participants are highly encouraged to appropriately dress as bananas, take the race at their own comfy pace, and enjoy the sweet sounds of that turn-of-the-millennium classic Who Let the Dogs Out? by the Baja Men on repeat.
This splendid bit of absurdity is set to take place on Sat. Jul. 29th with registration & bib pick-up at The Frogtown Brewery between 2PM-3:30PM with the un-race beginning at 3:50PM. The actual live Bananas will happen at 4:30PM at The Elysian where the 1K finishes.
Go get your tickets ($25 a pop) for what should be one of the most beautiful comedic sights in LA this year here.
