Fyff:

"Good evening, gentlemen. It's an absolute pleasure to have you both here. Reinier, Leo, as the founders of both 'Go like Banana' and the 'Gimme Hope Europa' movement, could you share with us the journey that led from 'Go like Banana' to the inception of 'Gimme Hope Europa'?"

Reinier:

"Thank you for having us. Indeed, 'Go like Banana' has been the creative seedbed for many of our endeavors. Our platform is driven by personal interests that often intersect with cultural and societal themes. Whether it's encouraging people to vote or sharing untold historical narratives, the core motivation has always been to engage and inspire and and having fun together. And through this process, the idea of 'Gimme Hope Europa' emerged as a natural extension of our passion for positive change and inclusivity."

Leo:

"Absolutely Fyff. The banana has always been at the heart of everything we do at 'Go like Banana'. It's not just a fruit; it's a symbol of creativity, resilience, and unity. Whether we're knitting unique hats or raising awareness about the plight of endangered bananas, the banana serves as our muse and guiding light."

Reinier:

"The banana represents more than just a fruit; it embodies our ethos of accessibility, inclusivity, and hope. With 'Gimme Hope Europa', we aim to harness the power of this symbol to inspire positive change across Europe. Just as the banana transcends borders and cultures, so too does our vision for a more united and prosperous Europe."

Fyff:

"Leo, as co-founder, how do you see the influence of 'Go like Banana' shaping the future direction of 'Gimme Hope Europa'?"

Leo:

"The creative spirit and innovative approach of 'Go like Banana' have laid the groundwork for 'Gimme Hope Europa' to flourish. Through our platform, we've built a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference. And with 'Gimme Hope Europa', we're taking that passion to the next level, rallying people around a shared vision of hope and renewal for the future of Europe."

Fyff:

"Thank you both for sharing your insights. It's truly inspiring to see how 'Go like Banana' has paved the way for the creation of 'Gimme Hope Europa'. Here's to a future filled with bananas and boundless possibilities! And before we go out, you have some preparation, I believe. A song, an anthem? About Europe and let me guess... bananas, I just think... :) Take it away guy's!""

Reinier:

"And thank you Fyff for having us on your show and the chance to tell our story."

Leo:

"While we are here, and before we go out with our song, we would like to take the opportunity to call on everyone to go and vote in June. Vote for Security. Vote for Freedom. Vote for Dignity. Vote for Solidarity. Vote for Sustainability. This song is for you: Gimme Hope Europa!"
