    About This Episode

    In this extended episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar kicks things off by explaining why the show is a day late, spinning an elaborate fib about cats and clocks that quickly falls apart. He reflects on the perils of lying and the disgusting reality of wet cat food. Natty announces an exciting expansion of the show, aiming to double the usual runtime from three to five minutes. However, his grand plans for a "bigger, better" Bumperpodcast are hilariously derailed when he's overcome by an uncontrollable urge to sneeze mid-recording, leading to an unplanned pause and apologies for his unprofessional moment.

    Oh – the weather outside is delightful! It is so sunny that Bumpercar went ahead and put his galoshes away …

    Then – he talks about how weird it is when people aggressively like the stuff that he is working on – which is an odd thing to be nervous about – right?!

The episode showcases Natty's characteristic quirky observations and social awkwardness in this brief, improvised comedy segment.

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar excitedly announces his new obsession with Vine, the six-second looping video platform. He enthusiastically describes how easy it is to lose track of time watching the same video over and over, calculating that watching one Vine for 30 minutes means seeing it 300 times. Natty shares that he's been creating Vines featuring various puppet characters including Pig, the ants, dinosaurs, a little donkey, and even a snapping turtle. He reveals he's already made about 70 Vines and mentions receiving feedback that viewers prefer Pig over the ant drawings, though he's glad Pig wasn't around to hear that validation. The episode showcases Natty's infectious enthusiasm for this new creative outlet.
