    In episode 265 of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar is surprised when Rufus T. Rufus arrives at headquarters not to cause trouble, but to help organize their content schedule. Rufus claims he's turned over a new leaf and wants to act as a scheduler for all the shows at Bumpercar headquarters. Aloysious J.
