Bumperpodcast #155 – Mouse Powered

It is one of those whisper episodes where Bumpercar is hearing some sort of broadcast and is trying to figure out where it is coming from.

Now, we use mouse power.

Because mice are the future!

About This Episode

In Bumperpodcast episode 155, host Natty Bumpercar finds himself driven to distraction by a mysterious broadcast sound echoing throughout headquarters. Unable to locate the source, Natty explores various theories including the urban legend about dental fillings picking up radio signals. Even his dog Irving Brown Socks can't help identify where the noise is coming from. The episode takes a hilarious turn as Natty discusses the universal frustration of tracking down dying smoke detector batteries and reveals his unconventional solution: powering all devices with mice and cheese instead of batteries.

Memorable Quotes

“I've heard of people who when they get fillings sometimes they can hear radio stations in their teeth and then I'm like I don't know I don't think I got fillings that I can remember.”

— Natty Bumpercar

“He does this thing where one ear goes up straight and the other ear kind of flops down and that's his confused look like he's like hey boss I don't know you know what you're talking about I'm kind of a dog.”

— Natty Bumpercar

“What I've ended up doing is making sure that everything is mouse powered now. You just slip a little piece of cheese in there the mice run around they're happy no more chirps no more noises.”

About This Episode

In episode 68, Natty Bumpercar welcomes listeners to the brand new Bumperpodcast headquarters after taking just one week off to move. Natty hilariously spells out his entire name and describes how moving boxes have been repurposed into castles and rocket ships throughout the new space. Despite planning to have the entire cast present for the big headquarters debut—including Mott the Sheep, Doodle Poodle, Baby Emerson, Aloysious J. Pig, Yetkin the Moose, and Cinnamon the Horse—everyone mysteriously disappears. Only Robot remains, and he reveals a mischievous secret about why everyone else is absent. This chaotic and funny episode captures the improvisational spirit of the show during a major transition.
