In episode 236, Natty Bumpercar returns after a long absence to share what's been happening in his life. He opens up about the recent passing of his 95-year-old grandmother, a painter who studied at the University of Georgia before moving to New York City—a path Natty himself would later follow. He explains how a series of unfortunate events including a computer breakdown and a bout of bronchitis kept him away from the podcast. Despite dealing with anxiety, illness, and falling behind on life, Natty remains optimistic and excited to reconnect with his listeners. He promises to return to a regular schedule and shares his enthusiasm about new social media strategies.

Emerson: Yes. Who gave, what kind of name is that? Who gave you that name? I don't know.
Natty Bumpercar: You don't know who gave you that name?
Emerson: No. Who was it?
Natty Bumpercar: I mean, I have some ideas on who might have given you the name, but I can't definitively say. What if you did? If I did, I'd get in trouble. Why? Because those are secrets. So your name is Emerson. You sure it's not like elephant? No. Is your name buffalo?
Emerson: No.
Natty Bumpercar: Is your name banana?
Emerson: No.
Natty Bumpercar: Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness gracious. Oh, my goodness gracious. Hey, Emerson.
Emerson: Hey, Emerson.
Natty Bumpercar: I want my hat back.

Natty Bumpercar: Have you seen my hat?
Emerson: No.
Natty Bumpercar: Oh, all right. What's the hat do? So, Emerson, tell me about you. This is the first Bumper Podcast since we got rid of Rufus T. Rufus, and we are just hanging out, having a good time. Yeah, because this is really fun. Is this really fun?
Emerson: Yes.
Natty Bumpercar: All right. I hope they think it's fun. Don't touch those things. Those are dangerous things up here. So, what do you, tell me about yourself. What have you been up to?
Emerson: I've been up to playing.
Natty Bumpercar: You've been up to playing? What have you been playing? 100 years. You've been playing 100 years. How do you play 100 years? Do you know? You get lost in the music, don't you? You like to just sit and listen to the music. That's fine. So… Dad! Oh, don't yell too loud. You're going to hurt the people's ears. Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay. So, what do you, are you, what, did you just start something? Yes. What'd you just start? Went to the beach. You just went to the beach? What'd you do at the beach?
Emerson: I went in the deep water. You went in the deep water?
Natty Bumpercar: Did you see any sea monsters? Nope. Thank goodness! That would have been terrible. Yeah. They would have probably eaten you up. Ah! Because you are delicious. No, I'm not. I, yeah, I ate, used to eat your toes. But I just like, want to eat.
Emerson: You're so good.
Natty Bumpercar: I'm so good. I'm so good. I'm so good. I'm so good.
Emerson: I love you. I taste like, um, um, rotten leaves. Ew. And I taste like rotten chicken.
Natty Bumpercar: You do? Yes. That's disgusting. I had no idea. Well, I'm glad that I'm not going to eat you then. Um, hey, do you want to tell us a joke? Yes. Knock, knock. Oh, who, uh, who's there? Who pooped there? What? I am not answering the door. Go away. I'm going to call the police. Try again.
Emerson: Knock, knock.
Natty Bumpercar: Who's there?
Emerson: Um, cow.
Natty Bumpercar: Cow who?
Emerson: A mountain cow. Oh, come on.
Natty Bumpercar: I didn't see that one coming a mile away. I'll try one. Uh, knock, knock. Who's there? Kitty cat. Kitty cat who? Kitty cat in your face. What? Is that me? What?
Emerson: The big one.
Natty Bumpercar: Yeah. The one when it talks? Yeah, those are called waveforms, and so you can see when you talk, those are, those are graphical representations of your, of the sound coming out of your mouth. So that's why when you yell, it's not a good thing. All right, now you're just breathing weird. That's kind of, that's going to creep people out. What? What I was asking, so earlier I was asking, what did you just start? You just started school.
Emerson: I started school.
Natty Bumpercar: Are you so excited?
Emerson: No.
Natty Bumpercar: You're so smart, though. You're going to do such a great job, right?
Emerson: What if someone talks to me?
Natty Bumpercar: Emerson. No, no, no, no, no. Knock, knock. Oh, oh, oh. Uh, who, who's there? Baby butt. Come on. Fine. I'll play.

Natty Bumpercar: You baby butt in the toilet. Knock, knock. Oh, we got another one? All right. Who is there? Boo-boo. Boo-boo who?
Emerson: Boo-boo in the toilet and then he farted on. No, this is not the kind of show that. And then he farted. And then he farted. And then he farted in the toilet and then he pooped on someone's face.
Natty Bumpercar: You're going to get me in trouble. I can't even stand. I'm going to get, I'm going to get in big trouble. This isn't how we talk in the Bumper Podcast. Yes, we do.

Rufus T. Rufus is back to hassle everyone at the Bumperpodcast – and Natty Bumpercar is a bit down – right up until Doodle Poodle shows up with a plan!
Do you plan? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.
In this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar finds himself in legal hot water when Rufus T. Rufus claims to own the entire podcast due to a contract breach. Rufus insists that because Aloysious J. Pig was doing unauthorized Periscope broadcasts, he now owns all of Natty's intellectual property. Just when things look dire, Doodle Poodle arrives claiming to have taken lawyering classes and offers to help. In a surprising twist, Doodle's unconventional legal tactics involving doodling on the contract somehow invalidate it, freeing Natty from Rufus's claims. The whole ordeal turns out to be what Rufus calls "a finagle," with Doodle Poodle saving the day in the most unexpected way possible.
“I now own the bumper podcast and everything there in between you understand sir all mine all the time and it rhymes on a dime”
— Rufus T. Rufus
“I just took the contract and, you know, I went through it and I made a few doodles on it! It's invalidated!”
— Doodle Poodle
“That means this whole boss is a finagle!”
— Rufus T. Rufus
