    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar returns after a week-long absence to explain the chaos at headquarters. The show is in the midst of moving to a new location, with everything being packed up and moved. Natty is clearly frazzled by the relocation process, admitting he doesn't even know the new address yet beyond that it starts with the letter C. The episode captures Natty's energetic, stream-of-consciousness style as he discusses packing up elephants' trunks, drinking cranberry juice tea that turns into rocket fuel, and the general confusion that comes with moving too much. It's a short but amusing glimpse into the behind-the-scenes upheaval of the podcast's production.

    Natty Bumpercar: Where in the world, where in the beans, where in the hill of beans have you been, Daddy Bumpercar? We've been missing you. You weren't here last week and the website hasn't been updated except for all those Mott the Sheep pictures, which don't even really seem like updates because it just seems like you're putting pictures of a sheep on the website. Where have you been? Well, calm down, everybody. There's crazy stuff going on over here in headquarters. Yeah, in headquarters, around headquarters, all about headquarters because you know what's going on? We're pulling up the tent stakes, pulling up the tent poles, the elephants are all around. They're gathering up their belongings. They're gathering up their peanuts and their, um, their, their, their, their things. Wait a minute. Their trunks. That's what I was trying to say. They're packing their trunks. I wish I would have said that just like I just said it. And not like I had to think about it. Hello, everyone. We're moving headquarters. We're in the midst of moving headquarters. Everything's going into boxes. Everything's getting wrapped up tightly and nicely because we don't want to break anything. Even though, unfortunately, sometimes when we move, things get broken. Sometimes hearts get broken when you move. I know. It's so sad. What have you guys been doing? Like, I know I could just sit here and talk about myself. Sometimes I worry about you guys, too, especially when I haven't talked to you for a whole week. Am I going too fast? Wow. What was in my tea that I drank? Oh, that's right. I put a little cranberry juice in my tea this morning. Oh, that's a good trick for me to find out about. Evidently, cranberry juice makes my tea in the morning rocket fuel. It really just winds me up. Well, not only the tea, but the whole fact that headquarters is moving. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I was freaked out. I don't like to move. I move too much. Too much moving equals confused bumper car. I mean, I just learned my address for headquarters this. We call this place headquarters this. We're calling new headquarters headquarters that. I don't even know where it is. People say to me, well, bumper car, where's your new headquarters? And I say to them. I don't know. And I'm not even being like obtuse. I honestly genuinely don't know. It's in. I say it's in a place that begins with the letter C. And that's not enough for people. People want more. People want a letter C. You're moving to the letter C bumper car. That doesn't make any sense. Why are you being so like that? And I said like this.

    Unknown: She's going to. I said you're pushing the collaborative. You're pushing the collaborative. We're gonna make sure everybody's back up next year. Keep it up. Be ahuman. We're not gonna let it hurt our friends. We're not gonna let anybody make you out on campus unless you take over. No! You gotta come back over next year, bitches. But we did it anyways. I know, didn't we? Always. I'm out. I'm out. Bye guys. Bye guys. I wanna kiss. Take a while. I don't know. Could get all these things over with. Bye.

    About This Episode

    In this absurdist episode of Bumperpodcast, the puppet cast finds themselves in a hilarious spiral of confusion about communication itself. Aloysious J. Pig, Natty Bumpercar, Doodle Poodle, Turkey, and Rufus T. Rufus engage in a circular conversation where everyone asks if anyone knows what anyone is saying. The result is a comedic exercise in miscommunication, with Rufus T. Rufus declaring he's "pretty sure [he doesn't] like it" and Aloysious pointing out that nothing was actually said at all. This short, improvisational episode showcases the show's signature silly humor and absurdist style.
