Pig, and an impassioned rant against wearing socks. Natty introduces listeners to "draftsman's disease," a fictitious ailment caught from going sockless in drafty conditions. The episode features Natty's signature stream-of-consciousness comedy as he declares his anti-sock stance, arguing that wearing socks breaks up sock families.

    Bumperpodcast 75 – Weekend Fun!

    Since the website is more than moderately broken, we decided to treat you with a special early in the week edition of the Bumperpodcast!

    We even have a new weekend reporter – and – maybe Robot shows up as well … on today’s Bumperpodcast!


    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar launches a new Monday morning format, but things immediately go off the rails. The website is broken and Snowflake is malfunctioning, but that doesn't stop Natty from introducing his new weekend reporter, Aloysious J. Pig. When both Pig and Robot start talking over each other in the cramped studio, chaos ensues. Pig waves around a contract while Natty desperately tries to maintain control by turning off microphones. The episode captures the hilariously chaotic energy of too many personalities in one small space, with tensions rising over who's really on whose team and who deserves to be heard.
