    About This Episode

    In episode 9 of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar embarks on a hilarious quest to find a new camera for upcoming events. From researching daguerreotypes to seeking out a mythical camera bird inspired by a TV show, Natty's search takes an absurd turn. Unable to find the perfect bird-powered camera, Natty instead hires Doodle Poodle, a portrait artist with his own voicemail announcement, to follow him around and draw pictures. The plan quickly backfires when the peppermint-scented, screaming poodle proves too much to handle, and Producer helps Doodle Poodle escape before Natty can even fire him.

    Producer: boys and girls let's see what doodle boodle is drawing right now

    Natty Bumpercar: yeah and that was the worst part of the whole thing well you'll see maybe it's not the worst part but he came with his own voicemail oh hi everybody it's me

    Doodle Poodle: it's so great that you hired me

    Natty Bumpercar: yeah on second thought and i don't even know how this is on a second thought because i clearly that that was the worst part was that there was a screaming poodle who was in my house and following me around wanting to draw pictures of my baby and i'm pretty sure that he smelled a little bit like peppermint so

    Producer: hey dp what say we blow this joint

    Natty Bumpercar: wait are you serious did i just get walked out on by them i didn't even get a chance to fire him unmitigated disaster all right bumper podcast at nattybumpercar.com

    About This Episode

    In episode 7 of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar shares his ongoing battle with an army of misbehaving pillows. What starts as a seemingly alarming battle cry turns into a massive yawn, setting the tone for Natty's hilarious confession about his nightly pillow wars. He describes how bad pillows mysteriously replace the good ones by bedtime, comparing the experience to sleeping on an angry badger or a sourdough roll. As the battle escalates and the pillows continue winning, Natty contemplates drastic measures—including the possibility of sleeping in the tub. This short, absurdist episode showcases Natty's signature improvised comedy style as he personifies household items into formidable foes.
