    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar, Robot, and Aloysious J. Pig attempt to throw a goodbye party for intern Bamboo on her last day. The plan falls apart when Bamboo leaves before the party even starts, leaving the three characters standing around with party fixings and no guest of honor. Pig reveals he's not a fan of Robot and tries to spell his way out of an awkward situation. When Bamboo briefly returns, it's only to retrieve her forgotten purse, crushing their party hopes and prompting Robot to desperately beg to leave with her rather than stay with his bumbling co-hosts.

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar introduces a brand new intern at Bumperpodcast headquarters. The episode follows their first day together, which involves sending out an email campaign that took two and a half hours to complete and was opened by exactly eight people. The intern also photographed items in the basement, added four people to the mailing list, and addressed letters for sticker requests. Much of the episode centers on the challenge of coming up with the perfect nickname for the intern, with options including "Buffy" (her existing nickname from friends) and Natty's suggestion of "Bamboo." The casual, improvisational conversation captures the behind-the-scenes reality of running a podcast.

    Memorable Quotes

    “We had an octagon of people who opened up the email.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I was gonna call you bamboo which is a weird nickname but it's a b name… it feels like it has an island feel to it.”

  • Intern-City!

    Today, the bus pulled up to Headquarters and out jumbled what I like to call the ‘future’!

    I’ll bet that you are asking yourself what in the world this old Bumpercar is yapping about … Well, I am – of course – talking about new intern day … whoop-whoop!

    Wait – “new intern” day?! Yes, indeedy!

    It also – just so happens to be first intern day – which everyone around Headquarters hopes will transition seamlessly into the aforementioned  new intern day moving forward into the future.

    • What does the new intern do? Well, new intern is going to tackle the million and one things that my brain won’t allow me to do – so that my brain can then move over to doing other things that it absolutely needs to and has to do.
    • What is the new interns name? The new interns name is Mind-Your-Beeswax … at least until we can come up with an appropriate nickname – that is.
    • How long will new intern be around the site? Weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and then off into the big-time world new intern gets pushed.

    Sit tight and maybe at some point new details will emerge …

    Also – also – also … If you want to be an intern for NattyBumpercar.com – then totally let us know – because we promise that we have more to do than we can even imagine – and – we have a tremendous imagination.

    Whoop-whoop!

  • We’ve been internetted!

    So – yesterday – my email box (quite literally) blew up!

    Everyone was asking for their Free Sticker – which is great – that is why I had them made in the first place – but – seriously … I think that I had 70 people asking for stickers. Wowsers!

    Did anyone buy anything? No. Did they all scoot over to follow me on Twitter – or – Fan me on the Facebook? Nope … They just had a sticker jones – and – I was the guy to fill it.

    By-the-way, did you know that if you click on the box over there on the right – the one that says “Click Here For A Free Sticker” that I’ll actually send you a sticker?? Now ya do!

    I looked into it – and – I found that all of these free-stuff-type of sites were linking to me … how fun is that?! Here is a list of the sites … I stopped the list at 20 – because – I just couldn’t believe how many of these sites there actually were in the world – and – I stopped the list at 20.

    Now, I am looking for an intern to send out this ever growing pile of sticker requests …
