Such a great episode, love the obscure forgotten rabbit holes Dave digs up like this. Can’t believe the banana peel slip had such a strange true origin!

Alright so in regards to reusing the same peel numerous times. Apparently bananas were like $3 a piece back then which is not cheap

Fantastic episode. Part of my job is investigating personal injury insurance fraud. Can confirm it still happens fairly regularly - although no bananas are involved. Kangaroos causing car crashes in regional Australia is more common in my practice. Kangaroo caused car accident = I drove home from the pub drunk and crashed my car.

I just read an old article about one of my ancestors who was petitioning for divorce due to extreme cruelty. The example printed in the paper states she slipped on a banana peel and hurt her wrist, and her husband refused to call a doctor. Makes me wonder what was really going on.

I hereby clamor for more ridiculous Dave intros

A point. I have never once in 67 years slipped on a banana peel. The odds of one person, let alone an entire family, to repeatedly “accidentally” slip on banana peels must be astronomical. And also, deliberately falling, either by tripping or sliding, to make something seem accidental and not look like you faked it is REALLY hard. Faking slipping on a banana would take a lot of practice. I’ve seen CCTV videos of scammers trying to fake a trip, slip, or fall and they just can’t pull it off. Some of them are hilariously bad, including some who take several runs at a fall and still not succeeding! I can’t help feeling second-hand embarrassment for them.
