    About This Episode

    In this adorable episode of the Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar interviews an enthusiastic young guest who can't contain their excitement. The conversation bounces from dinosaurs (including the feathered Xenosaurus and the scary T-Rex) to confusing toy commercials featuring a punching Spider-Man toy and a mysterious wrecking ball contraption. Natty attempts to understand the logic behind toys that punch the air and toys that require extensive setup only to knock everything down. The episode wraps up with Halloween costume plans involving Caillou-inspired monster accessories, capturing the delightful chaos of trying to have a coherent conversation with an excitable child.

    — Young Guest

    “So wait, we have to sit there and build all the towers and then this toy just says up and spins around and knocks all the… That seems like a lot of work for me.”

    Unknown: Oh, what's up, Buffer Podcast?

    Natty Bumpercar: It's me, Andy Buffer. And I've got a little screaming person here.

    Unknown: Yay!

    Natty Bumpercar: Hey, screaming person, what were you talking about just a second ago? What's your favorite book that we just found? Dinosaurs! Yeah, it's a dinosaur book, and that's pretty cool, right? Dinosaurs? What's your favorite dinosaur? Oh, Xenosaurus! There's a Xenosaurus? He's got feathers on his arms, right? What's the scariest dinosaur, do you think?

    Unknown: T-Rex!

    Natty Bumpercar: You don't have to yell it. Do you hear me? I'm not yelling. I mean, I'm just talking right to the microphone. Hey. We were watching television a second ago, too, and you saw something. And what was it that you wanted? Do you remember? Because when the commercial was on, you acted like it was the most important thing in the world. Spider-Man punching? Spider-Man punching? Spider-Man punching? Spider-Man punching? Spider-Man doesn't punch.

    Unknown: He's a toy!

    Natty Bumpercar: What do you mean he's a toy? Why would he punch?

    Unknown: No, he's just a toy.

    Natty Bumpercar: But it doesn't sound very nice, is what I was… Why would a toy punch? It sounds like a mean toy?

    Unknown: No, it's only a toy, because it doesn't punch anybody. It's not walking. It only stays on the ground. It doesn't walk. It can talk, and then it can do this.

    Natty Bumpercar: So that was punching. So if I walk up to this toy, it's going to talk to me? And then it's going to punch me?

    Unknown: No. No, it's a toy!

    Natty Bumpercar: Well… Okay, so it's a toy that walks around, it talks to people, and then makes punching motions. Now, does it beat up other toys?

    Unknown: No.

    Natty Bumpercar: No? Who does it punch, then? It can't just random punch.

    Unknown: It doesn't punch anything.

    Natty Bumpercar: Anything or anybody? No. No. Well, that seems kind of silly. That's like if I walked around all the time, all during the day, and I was just like… People are going to think I'm crazy, right?

    Unknown: No.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yes, they are.

    Unknown: Why?

    Natty Bumpercar: Well, because if I'm just punching the air for no reason, especially if I'm walking around… But can you do it? Do what? Scream! No, don't scream. Screaming hurts the people's ears.

    Unknown: Okay, okay, okay.

    Natty Bumpercar: So, there was another toy that you saw right before that, that you said you absolutely have to have. Which toy was that?

    Unknown: Smashing the blocks down. With the big boat over there. It has a big ball, little big ball. It can punch.

    Natty Bumpercar: Wait, this punches too? No, it… What are all these toys punching for?

    Unknown: Um, it's a rolling thing and an open mouth and then it can spin.

    Natty Bumpercar: It spins? So, but is there punching involved with the spinning?

    Unknown: No, um…

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, you seem to love punching.

    Unknown: It's a key and then a little big thing, like the buoy. It's a leg. It's like a buoy.

    Natty Bumpercar: It's like a buoy, okay, yeah.

    Unknown: It's like a round ball, but it gets all the blocks down like this.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, so it's like a wrecking ball. That's what that's called. And so you have like little blocks and buildings and then it knocks them down.

    Unknown: Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar: So it doesn't punch anything at all.

    Unknown: But it's black. Um, it's not really black because it has holes.

    Natty Bumpercar: The blocks have holes in them?

    Unknown: Okay.

    Natty Bumpercar: And you said it has a mouth. Does the mouth open?

    Unknown: Yeah. What does it say? It says, and then it spins around and then knocks all the towers.

    Natty Bumpercar: So wait, so who has to set all those towers up?

    Unknown: Us!

    Natty Bumpercar: So wait, we have to sit there and build all the towers and then this toy just says up and spins around and knocks all the… That seems like a lot of work for me.

    Unknown: No, it has 15.

    Natty Bumpercar: It has 15? 15? All right. Well, I mean, I guess if it has 15, then that makes a lot of sense. Is it a little bit better? Maybe? No. I don't know. What's your favorite? If you had to guess what was your favorite toy, what would it be?

    Unknown: Smashing.

    Natty Bumpercar: Smashing. What toy is smashing? The car that you don't have?

    Unknown: Um, a big thing.

    Natty Bumpercar: You're so quiet. You got to be a little bit louder. You don't have to yell.

    Unknown: Um, it has to be bigger and it has little round squares. And then when it… It has to talk when it spins and then it opens its mouth and then it spins around the block and then it gets the tower down.

    Natty Bumpercar: Real quick, last question. What do you want to be for Halloween?

    Unknown: Um… Like Caillou. Like the fur and the monster head and the silly glasses.

    Natty Bumpercar: That sounds phenomenal. Sounds like we're going to have a crazy weekend. We're going to have a crazy Halloween here at Bumper Podcast Headquarters. Hope you do too! Pfft! Pfft!

    Unknown: Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
