    Bumperpodcast #218 – A Pig and a baby.

    Today is Pig’s turn to shine. It’s a one-on-one interview with the smallest of all of the Bumpercars – and – it goes really well … If you consider toddler on pig violence to be a good thing.

    Comedian, Natty Bumpercar talks about some junk with Robot and Pig, and some other junk in today’s edition of the Bumperpodcast.


    About This Episode

    In this chaotic and hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar attempts to conduct an interview with a very energetic and uncooperative young guest who identifies as a pig. The episode quickly devolves into comedic chaos as Natty struggles to get coherent answers while being repeatedly hit, bitten, and interrupted. Topics somehow include milk from washing machines, dirty bears taking baths, doctor visits with lollipops, and a $17,000 miniaturized lollipop battery joke. Despite Natty's best efforts to maintain a conversation, the unpredictable guest turns the interview into what Natty calls "the weirdest pop-up podcast ever." This improvised episode showcases the show's signature spontaneous humor and willingness to embrace complete pandemonium.

    Producer: Hello boys and girls, let's see what Doodle Poodle is doing right now!

    Doodle Poodle: Hey everybody, it's me, Doodle Poodle, and this is the Poodle Podcast, and this is where we're going to have the best time ever in the whole wide world, and we're going to do some drawings, and we're going to make some fun doodles today! Hey! What's- Hi, Bubsy!

    Natty Bumpercar: What are you doing?

    Doodle Poodle: How are you doing?

    Natty Bumpercar: I'm doing-

    Doodle Poodle: Hello?

    Natty Bumpercar: I'm doing great, but you're not supposed to be in here. What are you doing? What is a poodle- What do you even call it? You're doing a poodle? A poodle podcast? Hi, voice man. Hello, Bumpsy! Don't call me Bumpsy, it's Bumper Car, or Natty Bumper Car, or whatever, but this is the Bumper Podcast, not the Poodle Podcast, and I don't even know how you guys got into the room, it's supposed to be locked, and why you're recording, and what is happening right now? We have a schedule on the wall that you can reserve time, and now is the time for the Bumper Podcast, so I'm kind of upset and confused.

    Doodle Poodle: I just don't understand what the- The problem is, it's not such a big kerfuffle.

    Natty Bumpercar: It's a big kerfuffle.

    Doodle Poodle: I mean, we came here to record the Poodle Podcast.

    Natty Bumpercar: Poodle Podcast. All right.

    Doodle Poodle: And no one was here, and so we set our stuff up, and we started to record everything, and it was going to be super fun, and everything was going to be super fun, and stuff like that. What are you doing? I like that. Like that. Uh-huh.

    Natty Bumpercar: Like that. Okay. Well, I mean, that's a good explanation, I suppose, and really, I'm kind of off-put by the noise you were just making. I was really angry, but now I'm kind of- You pulled me back in, because that was a really ridiculous noise, and I don't know what you were doing, to be quite frank. Who's Frank? To be quite honest. Ah!

    Aloysious J. Pig: Hey, everybody. It's me, Pig. I heard you guys were having a kerfuffle in here. Yeah. And we ain't had a good kerfuffle in here in a long time, so I figured I'd come in and see how everybody was doing. Oh, perfect. It was pretty good. I like what you got going on. There's a lot of fur flying. Uh-huh. There's some weird drawings over there. There's a doodle.

    Doodle Poodle: Oh, God. I mean, there's a doodle, yeah. Doodles, of course.

    Aloysious J. Pig: He says to me, well, what are we up to? What are we doing? What's the rumpus?

    Doodle Poodle: Anyway, huh? It's Pig. Hi. This is- Oh, no.

    Natty Bumpercar: He's doing it again.

    Doodle Poodle: Doodle.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Doodle. What in the- What in the hook, Nanny? Is he okay? I don't know. Somebody get him a- Is it like- Get him a cold cloth. Get him- Somebody get him a compress. Somebody get him an ice pack. Somebody get him, I don't know, like a marshmallow peep. A peep? Whatever you give to a dog when he's talking like that. He's crazy. I don't understand nothing what he's saying at all.

    Natty Bumpercar: I don't know what he's saying either. It's a new weird voice thing that he's doing today, and I mean, it's kind of cute.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Yeah, I guess it's kind of cute.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yeah. Yeah. It is kind of cute, but Voiceman, have you- Have you ever heard him talk like that? No, I have not. It's weird. It's very strange. I just don't understand what's happening.

    Producer: I don't either. Normally, he comes in, and he makes a few doodles, and everyone is happy, and it's mail time, and everything like that happens, and it makes sense. Today makes no sense at all.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Jesus, this guy got to yell everything you say.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yes, he yells. We're kidding.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Let's have a normal conversation. We got the dog over there hyperventilating. He's very upset. We got this voice set up, dude, like yelling and everything. This is not the kerfuffle that I thought that I was getting into. All right, pig. This kerfuffle is- What?

    Natty Bumpercar: What is it?

    Aloysious J. Pig: Not pleasant. It's an unpleasant kerfuffle. Oh, no.

    Natty Bumpercar: Normally, I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but I think that kerfuffles, by nature, not by law, but by nature, tend to be a little uncomfortable. That's not a problem. Yeah.

    Doodle Poodle: Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar: So-

    Doodle Poodle: I just want to go home, and I was kind of sad, because I just wanted to make a show, and I wanted everybody to like it, and everybody got a kerfuffle, and no one's very happy, and I'm just so tired, and I think I'm just sleeping, and I just want to go-

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, poodle, come on.

    Doodle Poodle: Back to my doghouse. Go home. I don't know.

    Natty Bumpercar: You seem so upset.

    Doodle Poodle: Maybe I'll make some-

    Natty Bumpercar: Toodles!

    Doodle Poodle: Oh, Jesus Christ. What a destroyer.

    Natty Bumpercar: Everything you do comes down to doodles, and that's why you're doodle poodle, and that's why everybody loves you. Hey!

    About This Episode

    In this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar transforms into a forgetful pirate captain who realizes the organizational challenges of running a pirate ship where nobody knows anyone's name. The rambling pirate contemplates the difficulties of delegating tasks like swabbing the deck and catching fish when every crew member is just "pirate man." After considering solutions like chore boards, continuing education classes, and a gold star reward system, the pirate captain ultimately abandons these civilized ideas and embraces the chaotic pirate life of stealing, looting, and pillaging. This absurdist monologue showcases Natty's improvisational comedy style as he navigates the logical paradoxes of pirate ship management.

    Full Transcript

    Natty Bumpercar: Did you notice that there was a lot of complaining and whining and hooting and hinting and hinting me in last week on the Bumper Podcast? Well, this is, uh, my name is, uh, I'm a pirate, probably. And my name, yeah, well, my name is, I don't remember my name, because I'm a pirate, and when people see me, people know my name, and so I don't have to go around telling people what my name is. I waff off my ship into the port, and I steal everything, and people know my name, but I would just by my face, and a little bit by my voice as well, but they don't necessarily, I don't have to, I don't have a business card. Why would I? I'm a pirate. Pirates don't, I can't read, and I don't care what my name is anymore. You care what my name is. Because I'm the one who's going to be stealing things from you. I'm going to be stealing your women and your children and your booty and your gold and your frankincense and your myrrh and your Kit Kats, because I love Kit Kats. I don't understand how they're made. There's, there's cookie crisp, and then there's chocolate, and they're all squished together into tiny microcosmic little things, and of the pirate ship, we all break off one for our friends, and we say, give me a break. Har! Give me a break. Break me off a piece of that. There. Har. Bar. But it's difficult, because as we're all pirates, and we, none of us care much about our names, then we look around the pirate ship, and when you have to get something done, it's like, hey, there, you, pirate man over there, and then the one looks around, because no one, everyone's a pirate man on the ship, and so they don't know who's talking to who, because they're all, pirates, and so you never get anything done. It's a, really, we should probably figure out some sort of a naming mechanism so that people know who's talking to who at all times. It makes the ships very difficult. It makes every little thing a lot more difficult than it should have been if you could have just said, hello there, pirate Bob, I need you to go and get me some fish. There's a lot of fish that they would, a lot of, that's a lot of, that's a big job on the ship. Who's gonna get the fish? And if we could have a board, maybe, on the ship. Now, I'm thinking we're probably going to need to take some sort of reading lessons, where we all read, and we have names, and we have a, a chore board. Yeah, that's what we need. We need a chore board, and we're gonna have all the different chores of the ship upon the board. It's gonna say, uh, swab the deck, uh, hang the sails, uh, get the fish, you know, all the different things that happen. And then we can be like, uh, pirate Bob, you do Tuesday. Uh, who's gonna do the laboratories? That's what we call bathrooms on the pirate ship. No, we don't. No, no. We don't call it laboratories. No, we don't. We don't call it laboratories. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's right. Over the rail. Because we're pirates. Good joke. Uh, uh, pirate man. No, you. You're the one who said the pirate Right there, I'm pointing at you because, yes, with the stripy shirt, black and white, not blue. Yes, black, white, you. Funny joke. You know what? We're also on the board. We're gonna have gold stars, and if anyone has a funny joke or a good idea, they're gonna get a gold star next to their names. So, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take some continuing education classes. We're going to learn how to read just basic stuff you understand. Nothing too hard. And then from there, we're all gonna get names. What's that? Good point. We're probably going to need to have names before we do the continuing education so that we can fill out all the forms and all the paperwork and take the classes. Are you correct? We can't fill out the paperwork if we don't know how to read and we don't know how to write. This is never gonna work. Is this what we've done? We've never done this. Okay. So, what is your plan? Excellent. We don't care about names. We don't care about reading. We don't care about writing because we are pirates, and all we care about is stealing and ravaging, right? Yes, and looting and pillaging and more stealing. So, no more names. You're a pirate. You're a pirate blue pants. You're a pirate red bird, and I'm the captain pirate of the whole ship, I think. Is that my name? Huzzah!

    About This Episode

    In this energetic episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar opens with a brand new donkey-noise intro and spirals into a hilarious caffeine-fueled monologue about honey peanut butter. What starts as a comedy podcast quickly transforms into an impromptu self-help session complete with breathing exercises and life advice. Natty bounces between topics including Eastern European poetry, bee economics, and the philosophy of excitement. After mentioning some recent technical difficulties, he shares his enthusiasm for behind-the-scenes improvements and wraps up with an oddly profound lesson about when it's appropriate to be excited for others. This stream-of-consciousness episode perfectly captures Natty's trademark rambling charm.

    Natty Bumpercar: that's our new intro i i just wrote it this week i wasn't sure do you how do you guys feel about it do you like it does does it does it is it what you is it the good is it a good thing that you want to listen to every day wow sorry i had uh honey peanut butter this morning peanut butter with honey in it and i feel like things are kind of uh uh off the charts a little bit oh like if the meter is over here in the kind of left hand side then it kind of went up to the very middle and then boom over all the way to the right side it's like buried in the right side um that's kind of funny it's been this is natty bumper car and i think we should all just take some deep breaths through our nose and out of our mouths and through our nose and out of our mouths and everybody exhale wow this became like a self-help podcast there we started off with a donkey noise and now 2015 the bumper podcast you know what it's about it's about everything it's about you it's about me it's about them it's about all of it okay so if we're gonna cover all that ground we're gonna jump around a little bit we're gonna skip around we're gonna do a little a little dance probably maybe even two or three little dances did you hear that i talked so much that i i uh i had to swallow do you ever have you ever been in a conversation hi everybody it's me natty bumper car how are you doing today i'm doing a little dance i'm doing a little dance i'm doing a little dance are you doing this week i missed you so much like really i feel like what we should just do is have a 24 hour seven day a week bumper podcast where uh i can i'm just talking to you and and wondering what you're thinking and what you're saying back to me do you ever talk back to me ever that was a spot there where you could have you could have done it if you hadn't ever done it before i wanted to make sure you had enough time to be like yeah bumper car you know what i do talk back to you sometimes or whatever however you talk you're like oh yeah i'm trying to talk to you as much as i would like to talk to you mr bumper car or uh uh i think that was an eastern european language which i i really i don't dip into as much as i as i should um from what i understand poetry much better when read in eastern european uh dialects and uh numbers also which is you know two things that are kind of opposite spectrum numbers and poetry but both this is rumor that i've heard better eastern european wow i i'm wondering if i should just skip the peanut butter all together and just have straight straight honey just have a spoonful of honey every day and how do what do we pay the bees to to make this honey do they get the honey or do they get the honey some sort of compensation or do the bees just make it and we take it oh they make it we take it you bought it you break it if you break it you make it we take it you bought it if you break it um so this is a bumper podcast and after a few weeks of technical difficulties on the back end that you don't need to know about we've got some things figured out and it's pretty cool i'm gonna say and by saying i mean i'm not gonna say because it's kind of boring because it's behind the scenes but i'm excited and since i'm excited i'm hoping you're excited too because you should always be excited when other people are excited you should not be jealous when other people are excited unless they're excited at something bad that happened to you or somebody else in which case you can in fact be not excited that they're excited i got lost in my train of thought there so the lesson for today is always be excited if other people are excited unless those people are excited for something bad happening to you or someone else in the world it's a good lesson i think that's a good thing to live by i hope that this week there's a lot more excitement in the world and i hope that that you're i mean i feel like what self-help see we're turning it back around we're bringing it back i just hope that we don't go back to the um to the donkey ha
