    About This Episode

    In this milestone 150th episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar attempts to celebrate the achievement but faces constant interruptions from an uncooperative co-host who wants to watch cartoons and needs an ice pack. Natty struggles to maintain focus while the co-host repeatedly leaves and returns, eventually settling in a corner to watch TV instead of participating in the recording. Despite the chaos, Natty perseveres and calculates that 150 episodes equals over 450 minutes of content. The episode humorously captures the improvisational and absurd nature of the show as Natty tries to give the milestone episode the celebration it deserves while dealing with an extremely distracted companion.

    Unknown: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing in here?

    Robot: You're not supposed to be in here. You're breathing on the microphone. You're not even saying anything. How did you get in here? Do you have a key? Do you? No. Do you have a key? I don't have. Do you get in here? No. I don't think you do. I don't think you do at all. I don't think you should be in here all day.

    Doodle Poodle: Listen here, robot. I don't know. I was told I got a memo. I got a, uh, voice man gave me a, I got a letter. No. Didn't it say? Hey, doodle-poo, do you want to come and do a radio? Do you want to come and talk on, do you want to do a show on this radio? And I said, well, of course we do, because I love to talk to everybody. Everybody loves when I talk to people.

    Robot: Sometimes.

    Doodle Poodle: No.

    Robot: No. Are you done? Are you quite finished? Because I'm the one who sends the letters around here. The memo. Because I think you must have called it. And I only send memos out to people who are qualified to talk on the microphone. Myself, for instance. Oftentimes, Maddie Bumpercar will let me.

    Natty Bumpercar: Hey, everybody. What? Oh, boy. Uh-oh, indeed. I see two people who were not supposed to be in the room. The lab. In the lab. In the lab room where we fix up and make up and break up and take up the bumper podcast. That's nice rhyme.

    Doodle Poodle: I thought I was supposed to. I don't. I don't want to. It doesn't matter. I got a memo. A memo? I don't know. I got it in my mailbox, and I thought I was supposed to come in and talk to everybody. And I got all excited. Calm down. And I wrote down words. Okay. And I made some doodles for everyone to see, too. Okay. No one can see.

    Robot: Oh, jeez. He's doing it again. He's doing it again. He's breathing on the microphone, and I told him not to breathe on the microphone. I don't think he should even be in headquarters. We should buy him. We should. I don't know. Is there a farm? Is there a farm somewhere where we can put him? No, there's not a farm. I don't think he should be. That's what I'm saying. What do you think? What do you think? I know.

    Doodle Poodle: I like farms. Nope. I kind of like farms. Kind of.

    Natty Bumpercar: Nobody's going to a farm. And, Robot, you have to stop fighting with everyone.

    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar is in the middle of moving headquarters when Robot decides to start recording without permission. Stressed and overwhelmed with packing boxes, Natty discovers Robot has taken over the podcast on a busy Wednesday. Robot earnestly tries to help by asking what he can do to make Natty's life easier, only to immediately ask if he can take a nap instead. The comedic tension builds as the frazzled Natty struggles to even count to three and hilariously loses patience with his well-meaning but oblivious robotic companion.

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Is there anything that I can do to make your life easier? Because that's what I'm here for… Do you mind if Robot goes and takes a little nap?”
