    Bumperpodcast # 136 – That Voice

    Where was Bumpercar last week? He was deep down in a dirty sickly hole where he was left after being beaten up by the flu and bronchitis …

    And – he missed you very much.

    Have you ever been beaten up by a cold? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com – and then we can high-five!!


    About This Episode

    In this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar is suffering from bronchitis and can barely speak, but the show must go on! With his voice completely shot, Natty takes listener requests to perform different characters and voices despite the pain. He gamely attempts impressions of a witch grandmother who wants to bake bread and cast spells, and a mobster whose tough-guy routine literally hurts too much to complete. Throughout the episode, Natty jokes about officially changing his name to "Natty Bronchitis" and struggles hilariously with words and breathing. It's a short but memorable episode showcasing Natty's dedication to entertaining his audience even when he's clearly under the weather.

    Memorable Quotes

    “My name has officially changed, we went through everything, the website will change soon enough to Natty Bronchitis.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Hello, how's it going? It's going to be a beautiful season this year at the witch house. I guess I'm a witch grandmother, I didn't realize this when I went into the character.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “You never want to listen to a podcast where the host actually dies on the show, so I think that we're gonna wrap it up.”

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar attempts to perform an improvised song about a bear in underoos, but quickly realizes his songwriting process has gone off the rails. He reflects on his spontaneous approach to songwriting, typically composing the first six to eight words in his head before winging the rest. After admitting the song didn't work out well initially, Natty gives it another try with rhymes about bears, pears, and air. The episode showcases Natty's comedic struggle with impromptu creativity and his honest assessment of his own musical abilities.

    Memorable Quotes

    “Usually, what I end up doing is I end up writing the first six to twelve, six to eight words, and then seeing if I can just wing it from there. Today, it didn't work out so well.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I saw a bear. He was over there. He was walking around in his underoos. It was quite a scare.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “When people come up to me and they say, Hey, Bumper Car, I've got a song that I want to sing to you, I say, I don't believe you. I want to see some documentation.”

I don't believe you just wrote a song for me at all. I want to see some documentation. I want to see some lyric sheets, and I want to see some notes on some pieces of paper, song paper. Is there a name for that stuff? I don't know. I just write songs in my head. Usually, what I end up doing is I end up writing the first six to twelve, six to eight words, and then seeing if I can just wing it from there. Today, it didn't work out so well. I saw a bear. He was over there. He was walking around in his underoos. It was quite a scare. I breathed some air, and then I sat and ate a pear. I walked on over, and I asked that bear if he would enjoy playing truth or dare. I mean, it sounds better now that we kind of, uh, no. Is it a great song? I don't know. Are you going to be walking around today humming about a bear who was over there, who was walking around in his underoos? Quite a scare. I ate a pear. I ate a pear. I don't know. Bummer podcast.
