    About This Episode

    In this mobile episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar and executive producer dog Urban Brown Socks take the show on the road after being kicked out of headquarters for being too rowdy. Walking through puddles and discussing conspiracy theories about "them" watching from above, Natty accidentally records 40 minutes of audio during their walk around the block. The episode features Natty's musings about creating a year's worth of content from one walk, puddle-averse dogs, and the importance of their friendship with listeners. It's a casual, experimental episode that showcases the improvisational and slightly chaotic nature of the Bumperpodcast.

    About This Episode

    In this absurdist episode of Bumperpodcast, the puppet cast finds themselves in a hilarious spiral of confusion about communication itself. Aloysious J. Pig, Natty Bumpercar, Doodle Poodle, Turkey, and Rufus T. Rufus engage in a circular conversation where everyone asks if anyone knows what anyone is saying. The result is a comedic exercise in miscommunication, with Rufus T. Rufus declaring he's "pretty sure [he doesn't] like it" and Aloysious pointing out that nothing was actually said at all. This short, improvisational episode showcases the show's signature silly humor and absurdist style.

    Memorable Quotes

    “Well, I have no idea what's being said here today. But I'm pretty sure I don't like it. One bit.”

    — Rufus T. Rufus

    “Nothing was said. How do I know what you're saying? You know what I'm saying? I don't know what you're saying.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “You knew what I was, um, saying. Because I was hoping you did. Because I don't.”

    About This Episode

    In episode 13 of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar addresses a major crisis after last week's episode apparently crossed some serious lines. His lawyer, Mott the Sheep, has informed him that asking listeners for credit card information was completely inappropriate, and now Natty is in full damage control mode. Angry emails written in ALL CAPS have been flooding in from furious listeners who thought they were just being pals with the show. A flustered and apologetic Natty attempts to walk back his requests for credit cards and lakefront property schemes, admitting he didn't understand he was breaking the law. This hilarious episode captures Natty's innocent confusion about basic legal boundaries and his earnest attempts to make things right.
