About This Episode
In this heartfelt episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar returns after a week away due to a computer malfunction and shares some personal news. Natty explains his eighteen-hundred-dollar MacBook Pro's logic board failure and his relief that it was covered under warranty. More significantly, he discusses his 95-year-old grandmother's recent fall and broken hip, and the helpless feeling of being far away during her hospitalization. In a touching gesture, Natty decides to shave his five-and-a-half-year beard—something his young children have never seen him without—because his grandmother had expressed strong dislike for it during their recent visit. The episode blends humor with genuine emotion as Natty prepares to surprise his family and send photos to his hospitalized grandmother.
