    About This Episode

    In episode 77 of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar contemplates the gloomy weather and gets philosophical about the passage of time between episodes. Natty struggles to figure out exactly how many days are in a week and whether to count today when planning the next recording. The lovable puppet host also admits to going blank when asked direct questions about basic facts, even forgetting where shoes are supposed to be. The episode takes an exciting turn when Natty announces the show has gained a truckload of new listeners who have been sending in mail, leading to an enthusiastic mail call segment.

  • 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 …

    Bumperpodcast 43 – Mott

    I don’t know what is going on . . . we have stopped getting mail. It is so hot. Mott the Sheep stops by – and we try to figure out what his wool is called – it isn’t a jacket – we know that – but – what in the world is it?!?

    About This Episode

    In this heat-affected episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar struggles with the oppressive summer temperatures and admits everything is falling apart around him. He's joined by his good friend Mott the Sheep, whose wool coat makes him particularly sympathetic to the heat complaints. The two discuss a recent comedy show they performed together, where Mott wrote most of the material while Natty handled the talking. The episode meanders through topics including unread email, the definition of sheep's wool, and a plea for listener interaction. This rambling summer episode perfectly captures the disoriented feeling of extreme heat.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I have no idea what's going on. I don't know if it's because it's summer, I don't know if it's because it's so unbearably unbelievably hot, but everything is falling apart around here.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Mott's the sheep, his name is Mott the Sheep. He is among my best people.”
