    About This Episode

    In this adorable episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar interviews a special young guest who had to miss their school spring concert due to being sick. The conversation meanders through favorite dinosaurs (T-Rex and Microceratops), throwing up multiple times, and upcoming Easter plans. The young guest explains that the Easter Bunny's real name is Peter Conantale and lives on the bunny trail. They also reveal their creative solution to missing the concert: dressing up Socks the Dog as a substitute performer. This charming episode showcases the innocent humor and unpredictable nature of interviewing children, complete with song lyrics, height estimations, and the devastating news about possibly never eating chocolate again.

    Bumperpodcast #215 – April Fools …

    It’s April Fool’s Day – and Bumpercar realizes that the only person that he really tricked was himself. Is this the best day of the year or the worst day of the year? Who cares?!

    Do you like muffins or cupcakes? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    About This Episode

    In this April Fool's Day episode, Natty Bumpercar shares his anxiety-filled experience planning an elaborate prank that he ultimately couldn't go through with. After spending a week preparing an April Fool's joke and scheduling it to post automatically, Natty wakes up at 1 AM in a panic and spends 40 minutes frantically undoing everything. He reflects on pranking his kids with breakfast muffins disguised as cupcakes and dresses, which doesn't go over well. The episode explores why April Fool's Day might be the worst holiday ever, though Natty does find joy in putting googly eyes on items in his refrigerator, inspired by Pee-wee Herman.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I apologize because I pranked myself basically. Hey bubba got you really did a good joke there who'd you trick me that's who”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I put googly eyes on the stuff in the fridge because Peewee Herman told me to and now every day when I open my fridge my ketchup is staring at me which is great”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I don't want this to turn into another cupcake muffin situation like I dealt with this morning you're better than that I'm better than that let's live for April 2nd”

    Bumperpodcast #213 – Ermahgerd. That show!

    Bumpercar is beyond super-excited at how awesome the show that he just watched was … Pig doesn’t understand. Things get a bit out of control when Robot shows up – and Pig makes a big life decision.

    What’s your favorite show? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com. 

    About This Episode

    In this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar is absolutely losing his mind over a television show that 'everyone's talking about.' His hyperventilating enthusiasm is met with confusion from Aloysious J. Pig, who barely paid attention and found the show boring enough to fall asleep. As Natty rants about mind-blowing plot twists and 10-year plans, Pig struggles to understand what all the fuss is about. The situation escalates when Robot joins in agreeing with Natty, leading to hurt feelings and Pig dramatically threatening to move out. The episode satirizes obsessive TV fandom and the disconnect between passionate viewers and casual watchers.

    Memorable Quotes

    “The one dude went over to that one dude and there was a girl maybe and I don't know it's just like a television show.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I'm gonna do your job for you. This is a bumper podcast every week we get together and we yabber and yabber jibber and jabber.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “You know what I'm sorry I'm gonna move out. See ya later pig.”
