    Bumperpodcast 48 – Revolt

    Robot is back to take the helm – because the house is in revolt! Evidently, Natty Bumpercar is way too busy to draw stuff and make stuff and phot stuff and talk stuff and joke stuff and stuff stuff – – – so – – – the rest of the house has decided to pick up a bit of the slack for him.

    Because if they don’t . . . then the stink bugs win – and that can never happen!

    Wait until the Bumpercar gets a load of this!


    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 48, Robot seizes an opportunity to host the show while Natty Bumpercar is sick and unavailable. Robot enthusiastically attempts to create his own "robot podcast" and wonders aloud why Natty usually doesn't let him near the microphone. After mocking Natty's illness and calling him "mad," Robot is caught red-handed by Natty himself, who bursts in to kick Robot out of the recording room. The sick and exhausted Natty reasserts control over his podcast duties before heading off to rest, leaving listeners with a glimpse of the chaos that ensues when Robot gets his hands on the equipment.

    BUT – WE ARE IN AN ABSOLUTE TAILSPIN OF SICKNESS!! WITH SNIFFLES AND COLDS AND RUNNY NOSES AND SNEEZES AND BLECH!

    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 47, host Natty Bumpercar hilariously laments his miserable state after catching a cold from his son, who recently started daycare. Natty rambles deliriously about his declining health, admitting he doesn't exercise, rarely leaves his chair, and only flosses before dentist appointments. After two weeks of being sick, he's finally going to the doctor—something he never does. Between jokes about feeling worse than garbage and requesting "chicken snoodle soup" (with a chicken and a poodle), Natty delivers a fever-fueled, self-deprecating monologue that showcases his comedic timing even while under the weather.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I would say that I feel like garbage but that would be giving garbage a bad name.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Somebody bring me a chicken and a poodle with some soup. I think it's the only way I'm gonna get out of this tail bed.”

    Bumperpodcast 46 – Blue skies and big trucks

    Blue skies and big trucks!
    We bolt out of headquarters to go and experience nature . . . it’s just so darn natural!
    Enjoy listening to me huff and sniffle as I walk – enjoy Socks rolling on the ground and birds tweeting in the trees.
    It’s the best that we can do.
    It’s the best that we can possibly do.
    Enjoy it!

    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 46, host Natty Bumpercar takes listeners on an outdoor adventure with his companion Irving Brown Socks. Originally planning to record inside headquarters, Natty is so captivated by the perfect weather—blue skies, green grass, and chirping birds—that he decides to record while walking instead. The episode captures the spontaneous and improvisational nature of the show as Natty navigates passing trucks, observes a cloud, and shares his thoughts on sidewalk sprinklers. Despite the beautiful day providing plenty of distractions, Natty humorously acknowledges that he got sidetracked and didn't really say much of substance, promising to flip-flop back home and try again.

    Bumperpodcast 45 – Beach

    Drinks are too expensive – but – who cares? Because we are on vacation . . . and by “we” I mostly mean ‘me’ – as everyone else around headquarters seems to be on a constant state of vacation – anyway.

    Listen and learn and love it!


    About This Episode

    Natty Bumpercar announces that the Bumperpodcast is broadcasting from the beach in this vacation-themed episode. The host shares humorous observations about taking a break, comparing doggy daycare costs to vacation expenses, and explaining why he won't be going in the water due to "bumper car eating monsters." With his characteristic fast-talking style, Natty riffs on restaurant bill shock, proper beach attire with maximum SPF, and the challenges of vacationing on a limited allowance. It's a lighthearted, solo episode capturing the excitement and absurdity of a puppet's beach getaway.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I'm not going in the water because there's monsters in the water. Big, angry, bumper car eating monsters potentially in the water.”

    “I'm just going to get a cocktail. How much? Oh, my meal just doubled. Oh, perfect. I can't imagine a better thing to do than doubling my bill because I was a little thirsty.”

    Natty Bumpercar: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the Bumper Podcast, where today I'm going to tell you a story. Is everyone gathered around? Is everyone sitting down? You over there, you should sit down. And you over there, put your hand down, it's not time for questions yet. And you over there, it's only going to be a three minute story, so no, you don't have time to go to the bathroom and come back. And you over there, can I have a sip of tea? Can I have a sip of your soda? Here's the thing, right this second, right now, guess where the Bumper Podcast is? Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, do you know? Do you have any idea at all? You don't? Well, that would make sense. I mean, normally, I guess you could say, oh, you're at headquarters, because you're recording, right? Well, or because you don't sound like you're walking around with socks, and you don't sound like you're driving, and those are the only places where we've ever heard you record a Bumper Podcast, so how else would we know anywhere else where you would be? That's some fast talking. I'm a fast talker. Well, right now, we pulled up the tent stakes, and the Bumper Podcast is at the beach. Yeah, that's right, we're on vacation. At least some of us are. Some of us who feel like they don't want to be part of the show anymore. I'm looking at you, robot. Maybe they're not at the beach, so actually, I'm not looking at robot, but I'm looking where robot normally is. Socks the dog. Socks the dog. Socks the dog. Doggy daycare. That's where he goes when he goes on vacation. Actually, more expensive than our vacation. Huh. Isn't that fun? Double the vacation. It's kind of like when you go to a restaurant, right? And you think you're going to be, like, not spending that much money. Oh, look. I'm just going to get a cocktail. I'm going to get a beverage on top of this food that I'm getting. How much? Oh, my meal just doubled. Oh, perfect. I can't imagine a better thing to do than doubling my bill because I was a little thirsty. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Is that free tax? I don't really know what that means. The Bumper Podcast, it's so exciting. Right this very second, as you're listening to this, I could be at the beach. I could be walking around on the beach, not going in the water because there's monsters in the water. Big, angry, bumper car eating monsters potentially in the water. They're looking at me as I'm looking at them. And it's like they're playing Red Rover. Red Rover, Red Rover, send that luscious piece of food on over. And you know what I say to them? I say the nay. I will enjoy my time here on the beach under an umbrella, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, probably with a large amount of SPF on me, eating food, not getting drinks because I can't afford it because my allowance got cut off. But who cares? I'm on vacation.
