    Bumperpodcast #199: Pig, Robot, and Doodle Poodle are not good at this.

    Pig, Robot, and Doodle Poodle are still running the ship on this episode of the Bumperpodcast … Runnning it right into the ground – that is!

    Do you run? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    About This Episode

    In episode 199 of Bumperpodcast, Aloysious J. Pig attempts to host alongside Robot and Doodle Poodle while Natty Bumpercar is mysteriously absent. The trio struggles with basic podcast hosting duties as Robot rambles about his soup consumption, Doodle Poodle insists on talking about art and drawing despite never actually drawing, and Pig grows increasingly exasperated with his co-hosts. The episode devolves into chaotic bickering about listener names ("bumper somethings"), whether mittens are an engaging topic, and concerns that Bumpercar may be frozen into an ice cube somewhere in the woods. This improvised episode showcases the puppets' comedic inability to run a show without their usual host.

    Do you fail? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    About This Episode

    In episode 194 of the Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar apologizes for his delayed posting schedule before diving into his experiences performing stand-up comedy at a challenging bar venue. He reflects on the art of crowd work, discussing how he had to wander table-to-table to engage an increasingly loud audience. Natty shares his philosophy about open mics and failing fearlessly, emphasizing the importance of trying new material without worrying about audience approval. Doodle Poodle makes a brief, uninvited appearance asking about bringing characters back to the show, prompting Natty to promise that friends (not just "characters") will return to future episodes.

    Bumperpodcast # 160 – Try, try some more

    Here in Headquarters, everyone is lost and running into walls and spinning around in circles … We make an attempt to jump headfirst back into the waters and end up with a giant bonk on our nose.

    Again, we have a guest host and bedlam and chaos and a bunch of sillies.

    How do you feel about bedlam? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    There is chaos all around!

    The Bumperpodcast is a free weekly comedy podcast with squeaky clean laughs and jumbles!

    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar is absent and Rufus T. Rufus attempts to host with an unusual helper – a young child who isn't particularly interested in cooperating. The little guest repeatedly asks for various characters including "daddy bumper car" and Aloysious J. Pig, while refusing to talk on air. Producer tries to maintain order as Rufus struggles with the challenging co-host situation. When Pig finally arrives, he breaks down the podcast's quality into negative numbers before the young helper goes silent again. This episode showcases the unpredictable and improvisational nature of Bumperpodcast at its most delightfully disastrous.

    Memorable Quotes

    “It's like a broken window that's getting broken up even more.”

    — Rufus T. Rufus

    “I remember when this podcast had absolutely nothing going for it, and now it's got even less. Somehow it went from zero to negative zero.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “Hey, you guys are not doing a very good…”

    Doodle Poodle: Hi everybody, it's me, Zoodle Poodle, and I'm here, I'm so excited, let's do the bumper podcast for you today, and what are we doing? Well, I am going to give you the first ever podcast by a poodle who tries to make some doodles. Today, what I'm going to do for you is a mountainscape, so does everybody have their pens? Pencils and pens out?

    Unknown: Hello there, Doodle Poodle, it's me, Voiceman.

    Doodle Poodle: Oh, hi, Voiceman.

    Unknown: Exactly, that's what I say. How are you doing? Good to see you.

    Doodle Poodle: Well, it's good to see you too. I didn't know you were going to be here. I had a studio all to myself. I signed up on the call sheet, and it says, Doodle Poodle in the studio. All by himself, today, going to make some doodles, and out here you are.

    Unknown: Yes, well, I figured I'd stop by to make sure that everything was going well. So, Doodle Poodle, what will you be doodling today?

    Doodle Poodle: Come on, Voiceman, you don't have to do that every time that I'm doodling. Sometimes, a Doodle Poodle. I want to go into the room, buy some soap, and make some drawings, but I have a little hiccup there, sorry.

    Unknown: That was not a hiccup, that was clearly a bark, Doodle Poodle. I don't know. Are you okay? And should I leave?

    Doodle Poodle: Oh, boy, did you ever just make it uncomfortable?

    Unknown: Oh, I didn't mean that. Yeah. No. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Oh, dear.

    Doodle Poodle: Um, you know, you can stay if you want to. Really? It's in the corner. Okay.

    Unknown: It's a small room. It's a small room.

    Doodle Poodle: I need a lot of room, because what I told everybody who was listening today to the Bumper Podcast is that we're going to make some wondrous, fantabulous drawings of all sorts of stuff.

    Unknown: Well, I am thrilled to be here, then. I'll just be over in the corner. Oh, now, if you need me, just say, give us a shout, if you need me, okay?

    Doodle Poodle: He's still talking. I'll do that. Don't you worry, voice man. If I need you to help me make this drawing, then I'll call you. All right. Pencils out.

    Unknown: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing in here?

    Robot: You're not supposed to be in here. You're breathing on the microphone. You're not even saying anything. How did you get in here? Do you have a key? Do you? No. Do you have a key? I don't have. Do you get in here? No. I don't think you do. I don't think you do at all. I don't think you should be in here all day.

    Doodle Poodle: Listen here, robot. I don't know. I was told I got a memo. I got a, uh, voice man gave me a, I got a letter. No. Didn't it say? Hey, doodle-poo, do you want to come and do a radio? Do you want to come and talk on, do you want to do a show on this radio? And I said, well, of course we do, because I love to talk to everybody. Everybody loves when I talk to people.

    Robot: Sometimes.

    Doodle Poodle: No.

    Robot: No. Are you done? Are you quite finished? Because I'm the one who sends the letters around here. The memo. Because I think you must have called it. And I only send memos out to people who are qualified to talk on the microphone. Myself, for instance. Oftentimes, Maddie Bumpercar will let me.

    Natty Bumpercar: Hey, everybody. What? Oh, boy. Uh-oh, indeed. I see two people who were not supposed to be in the room. The lab. In the lab. In the lab room where we fix up and make up and break up and take up the bumper podcast. That's nice rhyme.

    Doodle Poodle: I thought I was supposed to. I don't. I don't want to. It doesn't matter. I got a memo. A memo? I don't know. I got it in my mailbox, and I thought I was supposed to come in and talk to everybody. And I got all excited. Calm down. And I wrote down words. Okay. And I made some doodles for everyone to see, too. Okay. No one can see.

    Robot: Oh, jeez. He's doing it again. He's doing it again. He's breathing on the microphone, and I told him not to breathe on the microphone. I don't think he should even be in headquarters. We should buy him. We should. I don't know. Is there a farm? Is there a farm somewhere where we can put him? No, there's not a farm. I don't think he should be. That's what I'm saying. What do you think? What do you think? I know.

    Doodle Poodle: I like farms. Nope. I kind of like farms. Kind of.

    Natty Bumpercar: Nobody's going to a farm. And, Robot, you have to stop fighting with everyone.
