    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar shares his culinary misadventures with a disappointing microwaveable meal called "Asian Surprise." Natty describes himself as a foodie and walks listeners through the elaborate preparation process of this instant meal, complete with noodles, mysterious vegetables, and brownish goo. Despite his attempts to elevate the dish with chicken stock and peanut butter, the meal turns out to be a massive letdown. Natty hilariously questions why he doesn't just skip the meal entirely and eat spoonfuls of peanut butter instead, ultimately ending his lunch with some jello.

    Memorable Quotes

    — Natty Bumpercar

    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 111, host Natty Bumpercar celebrates cooking day at headquarters after shelling carrots, shucking eggs, and making fresh butter. Natty shares his philosophy about sweet potatoes maintaining his sweetness level and offers listeners a unique challenge: try eating an entire restaurant meal during the podcast's short runtime. He addresses listener mail asking about Turkey's whereabouts after last week's appearance, though the mysterious character seems to be hiding. This episode features Natty's signature rambling humor and his struggle to pronounce "restaurant," settling on "red turon" instead.

    Memorable Quotes

    “People come up to me and they say hey bumper car you don't seem sweet enough to me and I say well well well that's why I eat a sweet potato every single day.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “If you go to a red turon and you order your meal… when that plate hits the table then is when you're gonna press play and then just have at it.”

    “I appreciate that I've never been called a shenanigan meister… it's shenanigan dash meister.”
