    About This Episode

    In episode 161, Natty Bumpercar records while driving hands-free and shares his stream-of-consciousness thoughts on everything from talking to oneself to the podcast boom. Fresh off a brutal winter at headquarters with sky-high heating bills and seemingly windowless offices, Natty celebrates the arrival of spring weather. He goes on entertaining tangents about ferocious animals, dinosaur taxonomy, and whether the plural of brachiosaurus might be "brachiosauri." This rambling, affectionate solo episode showcases Natty's spontaneous comedy style as he reconnects with listeners after some time away.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I'm assuming that everyone talks to themselves as much as I talk to myself, is this true or not? You'll have to let me know, but what I'm saying is you can record yourself, so that's good, and then you, look, you've got a podcast!”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I've missed you guys, and I don't even mean just missed you a little bit. I mean, ferociously. Ferociously like a badger. Ferociously like a wolverine. Ferociously like the most ferocious dinosaur to ever roam the land.”

    Bumperpodcast # 160 – Try, try some more

    Here in Headquarters, everyone is lost and running into walls and spinning around in circles … We make an attempt to jump headfirst back into the waters and end up with a giant bonk on our nose.

    Again, we have a guest host and bedlam and chaos and a bunch of sillies.

    How do you feel about bedlam? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    There is chaos all around!

    The Bumperpodcast is a free weekly comedy podcast with squeaky clean laughs and jumbles!

    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar is absent and Rufus T. Rufus attempts to host with an unusual helper – a young child who isn't particularly interested in cooperating. The little guest repeatedly asks for various characters including "daddy bumper car" and Aloysious J. Pig, while refusing to talk on air. Producer tries to maintain order as Rufus struggles with the challenging co-host situation. When Pig finally arrives, he breaks down the podcast's quality into negative numbers before the young helper goes silent again. This episode showcases the unpredictable and improvisational nature of Bumperpodcast at its most delightfully disastrous.

    Memorable Quotes

    “It's like a broken window that's getting broken up even more.”

    — Rufus T. Rufus

    “I remember when this podcast had absolutely nothing going for it, and now it's got even less. Somehow it went from zero to negative zero.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “Hey, you guys are not doing a very good…”

    About This Episode

    Natty Bumpercar introduces his latest fashion trend in this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast. After receiving feedback about last week's episode, Natty decides to keep things focused by discussing his new rubber band bracelet collection. The orange rubber band from a grocery store container leads to the formation of an impromptu "rubber band club" with Tiny Bumpercar, who sports a yellow one. When a green rubber band is discovered on the floor, things get complicated as Natty struggles with whether to expand beyond citrus colors. The episode takes a turn as Natty reveals the ongoing drama about the abandoned green rubber band and his current status as the sole remaining member of the rubber band gang.

    Bumperpodcast #155 – Mouse Powered

    It is one of those whisper episodes where Bumpercar is hearing some sort of broadcast and is trying to figure out where it is coming from.

    Now, we use mouse power.

    Do you power devices by mouse? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    Because mice are the future!


    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 155, host Natty Bumpercar finds himself driven to distraction by a mysterious broadcast sound echoing throughout headquarters. Unable to locate the source, Natty explores various theories including the urban legend about dental fillings picking up radio signals. Even his dog Irving Brown Socks can't help identify where the noise is coming from. The episode takes a hilarious turn as Natty discusses the universal frustration of tracking down dying smoke detector batteries and reveals his unconventional solution: powering all devices with mice and cheese instead of batteries.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I've heard of people who when they get fillings sometimes they can hear radio stations in their teeth and then I'm like I don't know I don't think I got fillings that I can remember.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “He does this thing where one ear goes up straight and the other ear kind of flops down and that's his confused look like he's like hey boss I don't know you know what you're talking about I'm kind of a dog.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “What I've ended up doing is making sure that everything is mouse powered now. You just slip a little piece of cheese in there the mice run around they're happy no more chirps no more noises.”
