About This Episode
In Bumperpodcast episode 190, Natty Bumpercar kicks the children out of headquarters after receiving feedback from listeners. Flying solo, Natty rambles about his complicated relationship with food, from his brief obsession with superfood smoothies to his current dilemma of eating making him feel sluggish. He muses about running marathons, the logistics of exercise, and the unfortunate fact that Bumpercar headquarters sits in a valley where every direction is uphill. The episode showcases Natty's signature stream-of-consciousness comedy as he flip-flops between liking and disliking food, accidentally creates a song about getting up to get down, and admits he'll never be a politician due to his wishy-washy stance on eating.
