Rain and rain and rain and rain … So much rain in the world – and – Bumpercar doesn’t seem to believe in umbrellas.

Rain is everywhere!
In episode 164 of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar has to re-record the entire episode after the first take sounds like a tin can inside a mason jar on a ferris wheel rolling on sheet metal with barking puppies. Natty complains about living in a world of constant rain and mugginess, waking up drenched in sweat after Dragon has already gone downstairs to make his legendary poached eggs. Despite everyone saying the trees love the rain, Natty isn't interested in staying perpetually soaked and reveals a deep grudge against umbrellas stemming from a scuffle 15 years ago. This rambling, improvisational episode showcases Natty's signature stream-of-consciousness comedy style.
“The sound was horrible. It sounded like I was inside of a tin can inside of a mason jar that was on a ferris wheel that was rolling on a sheet metal with puppies running next to it barking.”
— Natty Bumpercar
“Umbrellas and I got into a bit of a scuffle recently, fairly recently, 15 years ago, and I'm not dropping it because those umbrellas know what they did to me.”
— Natty Bumpercar
“When it rains a lot and you go 'god this rain' and somebody says 'well the trees love it,' I wasn't talking to the trees, all right?”

Pants are awesome!
In episode 161, Natty Bumpercar records while driving hands-free and shares his stream-of-consciousness thoughts on everything from talking to oneself to the podcast boom. Fresh off a brutal winter at headquarters with sky-high heating bills and seemingly windowless offices, Natty celebrates the arrival of spring weather. He goes on entertaining tangents about ferocious animals, dinosaur taxonomy, and whether the plural of brachiosaurus might be "brachiosauri." This rambling, affectionate solo episode showcases Natty's spontaneous comedy style as he reconnects with listeners after some time away.
“I'm assuming that everyone talks to themselves as much as I talk to myself, is this true or not? You'll have to let me know, but what I'm saying is you can record yourself, so that's good, and then you, look, you've got a podcast!”
— Natty Bumpercar
“I've missed you guys, and I don't even mean just missed you a little bit. I mean, ferociously. Ferociously like a badger. Ferociously like a wolverine. Ferociously like the most ferocious dinosaur to ever roam the land.”

Continuing in my sporadic spiral of crumbling … I present to you a new Bumperpodcast that has a guest host who needs to learn a thing or two about not touching the microphone.
And – with that … I digress.

People should not be distressed about a digress!
In this chaotic and heartwarming episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar attempts to record with an unusual guest host – a very young child who doesn't quite grasp podcasting yet. With headquarters overrun by children and Producer absent (stuck in the computer), Natty struggles to maintain control as his pint-sized co-host learns about microphones and windscreens. Between managing the energetic toddler and explaining podcast basics, Natty shares updates about the new baby in the house using his signature absurdist humor, including a memorable riff about a baby drinking his "milkshake" (his life). The episode captures the beautiful mess of parenting meeting podcasting, with Natty gamely comparing his young helper's hosting skills to previous Bumperpodcast guests like Robot and Moth the Sheep.
“My life was a milkshake the baby had a straw he was across the room and he was eating it up… he intimidated me with his straw and said something along the lines of daddy i'm going to drink your milkshake”
— Natty Bumpercar
“You even with the silly talk sound better than robot ever did so that's that's a plus you're not as good of a host as moth the sheep but you're you know you're right in there right in the middle”

I fell into a crevace of jelly and got stuck and have missed the beans out of you guys … Seriously.
Also – Headquarters has gotten a bit more full.

Eating is an important thing!
Natty Bumpercar returns to Bumperpodcast after falling into a jelly-filled crevasse that froze over, leaving him trapped and blinking for what felt like 16 years. Upon his return to headquarters, Natty discovers chaos: the holidays have passed, there's now a second baby bumpercar who may have given him bronchitis, and he's been passing out from illness. As he struggles to adjust to life with two baby bumpercars (whom he temporarily nicknames Blue and Yellow), Natty hilariously attempts to establish parental authority while dealing with bath time incidents and contemplating how to keep the kids in line. This episode showcases Natty's signature rambling storytelling style as he processes the absurd changes that occurred during his frozen absence.
“i've just been down there blinking that's all i could do was blink obviously i can't even breathe it's still there's jelly stuck in my uh in my throat”
— Natty Bumpercar
“i'm not gonna say he gave me bronchitis because i don't know if babies have that power but he might have gotten me really sick”
— Natty Bumpercar
“the more guilt that i can have on this baby the more check marks against them the easier it's going to be for me to keep them in line down the road”
