Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Swinging from their tails on the swing set bar in the park, Joey and Davey Monkey introduce today's sponsors, as well as their favorite word: BANANA. They have a banana for their lunch, but Davey isn't sure if it's really a banana. It may look like one and smells like one, but Davey confirms it by eating the whole thing, infuriating his brother.
 	SCENE 1 	Davey and Joey find Jamal on his break, asleep on a park bench with a banana next to him. Since Davey ate the last banana, he gives Joey ideas on the best way to get it, settling on just asking for it. As the two argue over whether he should do it softly or loudly, Jamal wakes up and eats the entire banana.
