    About This Episode

    In this episode, Natty Bumpercar nervously prepares for an upcoming medical procedure. Broadcasting on a Monday instead of the usual schedule, Natty explains he's heading to the hospital the next day for an endoscopy at 5:45 AM. With characteristic humor, he describes the procedure as having a mouse with a camera walk down his throat to take pictures. Despite some anxiety about the early morning appointment and uncertainty about what to expect, Natty maintains his comedic perspective throughout, joking about hospital gowns, Jello, and waking up before the rooster crows.

    “I have to be there in my own physical form at 5:45 in the morning. That's stunningly early. The cockadoodle do crows at like 6:15.”

    “Mouse in throat with camera, oh okay, deep breaths everybody, deep breaths because I'm gonna need them.”

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar wakes up excited on a rainy day to record and shares a personal medical journey with listeners. Natty describes a frustrating throat condition where food gets stuck while eating, leading to visits with multiple doctors. After the first doctor's unhelpful advice to "eat better food," Natty consults a second doctor who diagnoses the problem and refers him to a gastroenterologist. The episode takes a humorous turn as Natty breaks down the word "gastroenterologist" and reveals the next step in treatment: having a camera shoved down his throat. Classic Bumperpodcast style combines everyday health concerns with Natty's characteristic rambling humor.

    Bumperpodcast 109 – Plague

    Natty Bumpercar returns to Headquarters with the icky-nasty-yucky plague – but – he has missed the Bumperpodcast studios so much – that he decides to give you a little bit of the talky-talk.

    Mostly – he just takes his throat to task for not doing what it’s supposed to do – which is evidently just to sit there and be a pipe. There are firings that are threatened.

    Listen to the Bumperpodcast to see if there is a job opening for a throat …

Suffering from what he calls "the plague," Natty delivers a hilarious rant about his malfunctioning body parts.

    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 47, host Natty Bumpercar hilariously laments his miserable state after catching a cold from his son, who recently started daycare. Natty rambles deliriously about his declining health, admitting he doesn't exercise, rarely leaves his chair, and only flosses before dentist appointments. After two weeks of being sick, he's finally going to the doctor—something he never does. Between jokes about feeling worse than garbage and requesting "chicken snoodle soup" (with a chicken and a poodle), Natty delivers a fever-fueled, self-deprecating monologue that showcases his comedic timing even while under the weather.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I would say that I feel like garbage but that would be giving garbage a bad name.”

    “Somebody bring me a chicken and a poodle with some soup. I think it's the only way I'm gonna get out of this tail bed.”
