About This Episode
Natty Bumpercar accidentally starts recording while preparing for a Halloween party in the basement studio. In this emotional return episode, he shares the sad news that Irving Brown Socks, the beloved 15-year-old border collie/black lab mix who served as the show's marketing manager, has passed away. The crew discusses their Halloween costume plans, with Aloysious J. Pig planning to dress as an angel, while Rufus T. Rufus threatens legal action over improper moving procedures and musical improv violations. Doodle Poodle offers to take over social media duties, and the gang explains why they've been absent from podcasting lately.

Natty Bumpercar: did all the social media he wrote all the press releases he uh he didn't build the websites but he would write a lot of the content for it um so we were kind of trying to figure out who's going to do all that stuff another reason why we haven't had a podcast is i didn't have the infrastructure to do all that stuff so um maybe it's something
