About River Meuse

The Pool Malebo, also known historically as Mpumbu, Lake Nkunda, Lake Nkuna, Lake Ntamo, or Lake Ngobila, is a broad, lake-like widening of the lower Congo River in Central Africa that forms a natural basin where the river expands before descending downstream into the Livingstone Falls. The pool serves as an international boundary between the Republic of the Congo to the north and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, with the national capitals Brazzaville and Kinshasa situated directly opposite one another on its northern and southern shores.

On the show

He started singing the Marseillais instead of Belgians at La Bancon. They do celebrate weird things that you were saying earlier, Andy. Every year on August the 15th, Belgium has an international regatta of bathtubs. 25,000 people tend to turn up. It's a one-kilometer race down the River Meurs in the town of Dino. They've been going since 1982 and they just jump in bathtubs with various decorations on them. Race down.
