    About This Episode

    In episode 209 of the Bumperpodcast, Robot attempts to host his own episode while everyone else is supposedly away, but his plans are quickly derailed when both Natty Bumpercar and Aloysious J. Pig show up. Natty asserts his authority as the show's host and owner of the headquarters, while Pig questions the ownership arrangements and how Natty actually acquired the house. The trio debates whether Robot should be allowed to host his own show, with Robot insisting his previous solo episodes were well-received at places like "Chapman's" and "the Twitter." The conversation takes a comedic turn as they mock Natty's terrible voice impression and coin a new word, "gibberlists," to describe Robot's nonsensical lists. Robot's desperate plea using outdated slang like "holla" only reinforces why he's not getting his own show anytime soon.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I would go to Chapman's. I would go to the Flavor of Life… I would go to the Twitter. I would go all over the place. And people were always like, it's the best.”

    — Robot

    “Those weren't even real places… So your list that you're talking is gibberish. You make gibralists. I think that's going to be our new word for today.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “Nobody does that anymore, robot. And that's why you don't have your own show… Because, I mean, fine. I did a stupid voice. It didn't make any sense. But holla?”

    Robot: Hello, everybody. It's me, Robot, and this is the Bumper Podcast. Today, everyone is gone, so I get to host my own. Hey, what are you doing over there, Robot? Robot, what are

    Aloysious J. Pig: you doing over here? You can't be doing a Bumper Podcast. Hey, Pig, I thought everyone

    Robot: was gone, and so I haven't had my own episode in a long time. Hey, Robot. You're here, too.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yeah. I'm here, too. It's my show. Yeah. Well, okay. So, listen. We've established this before, but when I leave, when Pig leaves, when anybody leaves, that does not just mean that you crack the microphone and get to do your own podcast. This is the Bumper Podcast. I'm Natty Bumpercar. This is my headquarters, and so I kind of am running the show. All right. Now, everything

    Aloysious J. Pig: we're talking about there sounds really good, Bumpercar, but the point I got with it is that you're taking over. I'm taking a lot of ownership over a lot of things that maybe, you know, should be shared. For instance, how did you get the loan on this house, for instance?

    Natty Bumpercar: My wife, remember? Oh, she did? Yeah, she did that whole thing.

    Aloysious J. Pig: How about I?

    Natty Bumpercar: No, you didn't do anything. No, nothing. You weren't even there.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Well, at that point, it's something I'm going to let slide. I'm going to let it slip back to us.

    Natty Bumpercar: Okay. Well, weird. I don't even know why we're talking about that when we were initially talking about Robot. I did my show. I did my show. Bless you. Not allowed to… You know what we should do? We should get some rules, and we should just write them out, and we should put them up on the wall here, and so then everyone is on the same page, and we can all, you know, manage expectations as to what people are doing and what they're not doing and what they shouldn't be doing. On top of the list is going to be Robot should not, cannot, will not have his own show.

    Robot: Well, I don't understand that. It's a good rule. I've done my own shows before. And they were very well received.

    Aloysious J. Pig: I don't think that's true.

    Robot: You know, I would go to Chapman's. I would go to the Flavor of Life. There he goes. He's going to make a list. I would go to the Twitter. I would go all over the place. And people were always like, it's the best.

    Aloysious J. Pig: It's the best.

    Robot: It's the best.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Listen, I don't… I mean, I love that you can make lists. I think it's wonderful. And… But none of that… Those weren't even real places. The Twit, Twit, Twit, Twit, Twit. That's not a thing. That's not a place that people go. So your list that you're talking is gibberish. You make gibralists. I think that's going to be our new word for today. That's gibbalist.

    Natty Bumpercar: Gibbalist. I think that's a pretty good word. I mean, I like it when we come up with new words in the Bummer Podcast. Because I feel like we're expanding people's vocabularies. And especially if it goes into the lexicon. Then, you know, it's going to give a lot of people a lot of things to think about. Oh, come on. Oh, my gosh. Stop doing the voice. I know why you started doing it. It's the worst voice. Oh, it happens. I slip into it sometimes.

    Robot: And there's voices that you just couldn't stop doing. I don't understand why people have such a problem with it necessarily. Why would you do that voice? The worst voice.

    Aloysious J. Pig: I mean, I never agree with Roblox. But I got to agree at this point that that's the worst voice that you do ever in my life. Come on. Like, I don't know what… I'll try to do it. Are you sick today, Big? My name is Daddy Bummer. And I'm kind of dumb. Oh, dumb? That's what you sound like. That's not what I mean. I know. That's what you sound like sometimes. When you do that voice. It's not nice. I don't know what it is. It's just a voice. It's just a voice. You can try it like this. I just can't sit. You've got to stop doing it.

    Robot: Yeah, or else maybe I'd get my own show. No, that's the worst. Right, guys. Please, please, please, please. Who wants me to have my own show?

    Natty Bumpercar: Nobody. Hello. Did you just say holla? Did you just raise your little robot arms and say, nobody does that anymore, robot. And that's why you don't have your own show. That's why you're not going to have your own show. Because, I mean, fine. I did a stupid voice. It didn't make any sense. But holla? Holla. Why don't you put that on your gibberlists? What are my gibberlists? What just happened to you?

    Robot: You just made weird noises. Now you're not even making any sense. Why can you have a show and not make any sense? And I can't have a show without something awesome. Something awesome like, oh, I don't know, space, numbers, robot stuff, huh?

    About This Episode

    In episode 199 of Bumperpodcast, Aloysious J. Pig attempts to host alongside Robot and Doodle Poodle while Natty Bumpercar is mysteriously absent. The trio struggles with basic podcast hosting duties as Robot rambles about his soup consumption, Doodle Poodle insists on talking about art and drawing despite never actually drawing, and Pig grows increasingly exasperated with his co-hosts. The episode devolves into chaotic bickering about listener names ("bumper somethings"), whether mittens are an engaging topic, and concerns that Bumpercar may be frozen into an ice cube somewhere in the woods. This improvised episode showcases the puppets' comedic inability to run a show without their usual host.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I'm sitting in a room with a crazy bucket of bolts and a dog who likes to draw and I've never seen him make a drawing. I just hear him talk about drawings all the time.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “Why would he put tears in the name of the people who listen to the show because they're so sad because they're listening to the show?”

    — Doodle Poodle

    “Now you know it sounds terrible this show.”

    Bumperpodcast # 160 – Try, try some more

    Here in Headquarters, everyone is lost and running into walls and spinning around in circles … We make an attempt to jump headfirst back into the waters and end up with a giant bonk on our nose.

    Again, we have a guest host and bedlam and chaos and a bunch of sillies.

    How do you feel about bedlam? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    There is chaos all around!

    The Bumperpodcast is a free weekly comedy podcast with squeaky clean laughs and jumbles!

    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar is absent and Rufus T. Rufus attempts to host with an unusual helper – a young child who isn't particularly interested in cooperating. The little guest repeatedly asks for various characters including "daddy bumper car" and Aloysious J. Pig, while refusing to talk on air. Producer tries to maintain order as Rufus struggles with the challenging co-host situation. When Pig finally arrives, he breaks down the podcast's quality into negative numbers before the young helper goes silent again. This episode showcases the unpredictable and improvisational nature of Bumperpodcast at its most delightfully disastrous.

    Memorable Quotes

    “It's like a broken window that's getting broken up even more.”

    — Rufus T. Rufus

    “I remember when this podcast had absolutely nothing going for it, and now it's got even less. Somehow it went from zero to negative zero.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “Hey, you guys are not doing a very good…”

    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 97, Robot takes over hosting duties while Natty Bumpercar returns from vacation. Robot struggles with the responsibility of entertaining the audience, admitting he prefers wrecking other people's shows rather than hosting his own. He rambles about weekend plans, Robot Soccer, and Robot Crochet before confessing he doesn't even know what robots do in their spare time. When Natty interrupts to critique Robot's performance, Robot defensively insists he was "very awesome" despite his obvious complaints throughout the episode. This short improvisational comedy showcases the dynamic between the reluctant Robot host and returning show creator Natty Bumpercar.

    Bumperpodcast 48 – Revolt

    Robot is back to take the helm – because the house is in revolt! Evidently, Natty Bumpercar is way too busy to draw stuff and make stuff and phot stuff and talk stuff and joke stuff and stuff stuff – – – so – – – the rest of the house has decided to pick up a bit of the slack for him.

    Because if they don’t . . . then the stink bugs win – and that can never happen!

    Wait until the Bumpercar gets a load of this!


    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 48, Robot seizes an opportunity to host the show while Natty Bumpercar is sick and unavailable. Robot enthusiastically attempts to create his own "robot podcast" and wonders aloud why Natty usually doesn't let him near the microphone. After mocking Natty's illness and calling him "mad," Robot is caught red-handed by Natty himself, who bursts in to kick Robot out of the recording room. The sick and exhausted Natty reasserts control over his podcast duties before heading off to rest, leaving listeners with a glimpse of the chaos that ensues when Robot gets his hands on the equipment.
