    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar, Robot, and Aloysious J. Pig attempt to throw a goodbye party for intern Bamboo on her last day. The plan falls apart when Bamboo leaves before the party even starts, leaving the three characters standing around with party fixings and no guest of honor. Pig reveals he's not a fan of Robot and tries to spell his way out of an awkward situation. When Bamboo briefly returns, it's only to retrieve her forgotten purse, crushing their party hopes and prompting Robot to desperately beg to leave with her rather than stay with his bumbling co-hosts.

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar introduces a brand new intern at Bumperpodcast headquarters. The episode follows their first day together, which involves sending out an email campaign that took two and a half hours to complete and was opened by exactly eight people. The intern also photographed items in the basement, added four people to the mailing list, and addressed letters for sticker requests. Much of the episode centers on the challenge of coming up with the perfect nickname for the intern, with options including "Buffy" (her existing nickname from friends) and Natty's suggestion of "Bamboo." The casual, improvisational conversation captures the behind-the-scenes reality of running a podcast.

    Memorable Quotes

    “We had an octagon of people who opened up the email.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I was gonna call you bamboo which is a weird nickname but it's a b name… it feels like it has an island feel to it.”
