Bumperpodcast #172: Inconsolable!

Bumpercar is beyond excited about something – but – doesn’t want to spill the beans … Because then – the beans might spoil – and – that would make him inconsolable.

Have you ever been inconsolable? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

Spoilt beans are a nightmare!

About This Episode

In Bumperpodcast episode 172, host Natty Bumpercar is bursting with excitement about something mysterious he can't reveal for fear of jinxing it. Rather than spilling the beans, Natty takes listeners on a delightful tangent about inside jokes and the power of shared laughter. He explores the magic of those fleeting moments when you lock eyes with someone across a room and an inside joke sends you into uncontrollable fits of laughter. Along the way, Natty accidentally coins new phrases like "bumper my car" and redefines "inconsolable" to describe unstoppable laughter. It's a characteristically whimsical solo episode full of Natty's signature rambling charm.

Memorable Quotes

“We've come up with a new phrase ladies and gentlemen hashtag bumper my car and then it's just something it's an inside joke that we've got.”

— Natty Bumpercar

“Inside jokes are the best kinds of jokes I think because when you're in a room and you look across and your eyes hit boom and you know and you can't control yourself you're laughing uncontrollably.”

— Natty Bumpercar

“I think that's what we're gonna call inconsolable laughter, like when you're laughing so hard I'm inconsolable don't try to get me to stop laughing.”

Bumperpodcast # 157 – Rubber-band

There will be no fooling around on this week’s Bumperpodcast. Natty has jumped into the world of fashion … He may have also joined a gang.

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

Clothes are an important part of life!

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

In episode 156 of the Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar enthusiastically greets his listeners and contemplates a major change to the show. Natty playfully muses about turning the podcast into a daily program starting in 2013, though he quickly second-guesses whether that might be too much work or cause him to repeat himself. He teases an upcoming mailbag segment featuring listener correspondence, encouraging fans to write in to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com with their thoughts about the show and its characters. The episode showcases Natty's characteristic rambling, friendly style as he expresses how much he misses his audience between episodes and considers Wednesdays a personal holiday because of the podcast.
