    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar presents a special field interview recorded with reduced audio quality. The episode features a delightful conversation about pets with colorful characteristics. The discussion centers on a gray cat named My Toe, a possibly imaginary purple cat called Eggplant, and Natty's supposedly green dog named Grass Clippings. The improvisational interview explores the whimsical world of oddly-colored pets and the challenges of naming them, with playful banter about whether these fantastic creatures actually exist. This marks part one of what Natty promises will be a multi-part interview series.

    “I call the purple cat eggplant. I say come here eggplant it's time to eat, and then eggplant comes running down the hall to me all purple.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I could have named him grass clippings. It's a hard name sometimes when we go to the dog park all the other dogs make fun of them.”

    About This Episode

    In episode 2 of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar responds to listener feedback from the suggestion box. He addresses requests to "make it funnier" by explaining he's not in charge of the comedy—that's the writers' job. Natty also tackles the "less bears" suggestion by promising to avoid bear talk going forward, except for a quick shout-out to the bear nation. The episode humorously highlights the challenges of hosting a topical comedy podcast while managing audience expectations. Despite talking for several minutes, Natty admits he hasn't really discussed anything substantial yet, perfectly capturing the show's improvisational and absurdist charm.
