    Bumperpodcast #168: Oddly liked

    Oh – the weather outside is delightful! It is so sunny that Bumpercar went ahead and put his galoshes away …

    Then – he talks about how weird it is when people aggressively like the stuff that he is working on – which is an odd thing to be nervous about – right?!

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

    I get so twitchy!

    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 168, host Natty Bumpercar celebrates the arrival of sunny weather and reflects on his daily wardrobe of wool sweaters. Despite the nice weather, Natty explains his unusual cooling method of constantly eating ice cubes to stay comfortable in his signature sweater. He shares a humorous anecdote about his time digging for dinosaur bones in the Sahara Desert, where sweaters proved impractical. Natty also discusses his recent foray into Vine social media and his bewilderment at receiving enthusiastic, rapid-fire comments and likes from an overly engaged follower. The episode showcases Natty's characteristic quirky observations and social awkwardness in this brief, improvised comedy segment.

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I'm not used to all this liking is what i'm saying. I'm used to a little bit less liking you know and either way is fine… it just makes me nervous to be liked”

    Bumperpodcast # 157 – Rubber-band

    About This Episode

    Natty Bumpercar introduces his latest fashion trend in this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast. After receiving feedback about last week's episode, Natty decides to keep things focused by discussing his new rubber band bracelet collection. The orange rubber band from a grocery store container leads to the formation of an impromptu "rubber band club" with Tiny Bumpercar, who sports a yellow one. When a green rubber band is discovered on the floor, things get complicated as Natty struggles with whether to expand beyond citrus colors. The episode takes a turn as Natty reveals the ongoing drama about the abandoned green rubber band and his current status as the sole remaining member of the rubber band gang.

    About This Episode

    Natty Bumpercar is feeling great in this solo episode of Bumperpodcast, despite his microphone rig literally jumping off his desk. He explores the linguistic oddities of words like 'skadoodle' and 'skadaddle,' questioning why one is considered more ridiculous than the other. Natty also shares his reluctance to visit the mountaintop wizard due to his lack of proper mountain-climbing attire, particularly vests. The episode showcases his signature rambling comedy style as he discusses fashion, proper button-pushing etiquette learned at etiquette school, and his preference for cardigans. It's a delightfully absurd and improvisational journey through Natty's stream of consciousness.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I press it with my pinky because i went to etiquette school and i know proper uh button pushing etiquette”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Skadoodle is in my book no more ridiculous than skadaddle”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I can tell by the cut of your jib that everyone who listens to the bumper podcast is dressed at least to the nines if not the eights”

    About This Episode

    In episode 74 of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar tackles the important question of what to call the podcast's listeners. From "bumper podcast gang" to "bums" to mysterious "blah blah blah blahs," Natty explores naming options while discussing secret handshakes and listener merchandise. The episode takes an unexpected turn when Natty reveals that Google Analytics shows a surprising number of chickens listening to the show across the globe, from Slovakia to Uzbekistan. This leads to a philosophical discussion about whether chickens can wear t-shirts and pants, leaving listeners with plenty to ponder about poultry fashion choices.

    Memorable Quotes

    “On Google Analytics it lets you know like who's listening and I was looking at it the other day and it even has an icon for chickens.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I'm pretty darn positive that I haven't [seen a chicken in a t-shirt] and I'm trying to decide if it makes me uncomfortable.”

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar goes on a hilarious rant about his nemesis: spider webs. After walking through yet another web in the middle of a field, Natty declares war on spiders and their "poop" (his fake science theory about what spider webs really are). He extends this theory to silk, suggesting fashionistas are wearing worm poop. Despite his frustration, Natty invents a spinning umbrella-like contraption to clear spider webs from his path while insisting he doesn't actually want to hurt spiders. The episode showcases Natty's trademark improvisational comedy and absurdist problem-solving.

    Memorable Quotes

    “Spider webs are can I clue you in it's it's poop. You're walking essentially walking through spider poop I think.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “You fashionistas in your big cities wearing your worm poop but I'm not angry at worms they're just doing their job.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I don't want to hurt a spider. I know they're our friend. But friends, don't make me walk through there.”

I walk anywhere. And spiders, it's, just leave me alone. So here's the thing. I'm going to be a bit proactive. I'm inventing something. I don't know what it's going to be called yet, so I might need help with a name. But it's basically like an umbrella. But whenever you go outside, you know, you open it or whatever, and it's a pole that's out in front of you, you know, maybe like 10 inches. And it spins, and it's right where your nose is. So it's always following your nose. So you don't even see it. It's just there. And you know what it's doing? It's going to be knocking down spider webs left and right. I don't want to hurt a spider. I know they're our friend. I know that they're getting rid of the other bugs. But friends, don't make me walk through there. Oh. Okay. Don't forget. Bumper Podcast at NattyBumperCar.com. Be nice to spiders.
