    About This Episode

    In this Thanksgiving episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar welcomes back Turkey, who made memorable appearances the previous year. Turkey has returned with something special to share—a traditional Thanksgiving turkey song that turkeys supposedly sing to express their gratitude during the holiday season. Despite some comedic interruptions and mic mishaps, Natty attempts to facilitate Turkey's musical performance instead of his usual Thanksgiving gratitude segment. The episode features the playful banter and improvisational chaos that Bumperpodcast fans have come to expect, building up to Turkey's much-anticipated song about what turkeys are thankful for.

    About This Episode

    In this holiday episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar is joined by an unexpected co-host: little baby Emerson. Together, they thank listeners for tuning in throughout 2009 and hint at their plans to go into hiding over the holidays. The episode takes a comedic turn when Natty accidentally reveals their hiding spot, leading to playful banter between the host and his infant co-host. Despite some lighthearted disagreements, Natty and Emerson make amends and encourage listeners to feel proud of their achievement: listening to Bumperpodcast all year long. The duo signs off with well-wishes for 2010.
