About This Episode
In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar hilariously explores his concerns about using pirate and sailing terminology around his baby. Natty worries that his salty sailor talk – including phrases about swabbing the deck, keelhauling, and walking the plank – might be inappropriate for his young child. He shares funny moments of doing his Popeye impression and contemplates whether teaching his son about nautical knots and maritime language will cause problems at school. The episode delivers Natty's signature improvisational comedy as he navigates the challenges of parenthood while maintaining his colorful vocabulary.

About This Episode
In Bumperpodcast episode 15, host Natty Bumpercar attempts to take live phone calls for the first time, but technical difficulties derail the plan when multiple phones start ringing simultaneously and no one answers. Natty expresses frustration that the preparation he thought had been done for the show hasn't actually happened. The chaos continues when Natty receives a blurry fax from a listener demanding he "cease and dismiss" the podcast. This short episode showcases the show's trademark improvisational humor and the lovable dysfunction of the Bumperpodcast crew as they struggle with basic technology.
