    Bumperpodcast 65 – Woo-Who?! Woo-You!

    There are a lot of greetings and hellos for everyone to share – on this episode of the Bumperpodcast!

    There is also a little confusion over if I am “in the street” – or – “on the street” – and then I attempt to woo!

    Don’t forget to email me your questions, musings and whatnot at bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    Hooray!

    Also – in fun news – we are now on Stitcher.com! So, how much fun is that?!

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar reflects on the various ways he greets his audience, from "hello" to "hola" to "greetings." He then contemplates the linguistic difference between being "on the street" versus "in the street" before announcing his plans to get a haircut for an upcoming photo shoot. Natty explores the meaning of the word "woo," connecting it to seeking favor and winning, much like fans do at sporting events. The episode features Natty's characteristic stream-of-consciousness humor and wordplay, along with Producer's announcement about Bumperpodcast being available on Stitcher.

    About This Episode

    In episode 9 of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar embarks on a hilarious quest to find a new camera for upcoming events. From researching daguerreotypes to seeking out a mythical camera bird inspired by a TV show, Natty's search takes an absurd turn. Unable to find the perfect bird-powered camera, Natty instead hires Doodle Poodle, a portrait artist with his own voicemail announcement, to follow him around and draw pictures. The plan quickly backfires when the peppermint-scented, screaming poodle proves too much to handle, and Producer helps Doodle Poodle escape before Natty can even fire him.

    Memorable Quotes

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “There was a screaming poodle who was in my house and following me around wanting to draw pictures of my baby and I'm pretty sure that he smelled a little bit like peppermint.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    Natty Bumpercar: all right bumper podcast it is your wednesday and we are gonna jump right into it here's a thing i was on a mission i had to get a new camera because we have things that are happening that i'm gonna want to take a picture of i wanted to get a camcorder and i didn't know what to do and so i did a lot of research and you know i was just like well i've heard daguerreotypes are really nice you know i've heard silver tents um there was a television show at one point that i was watching and you know they had a bird who actually lived inside of a box like inside of a camera and and you he would he would make the picture with his beak and and i thought that was maybe the best option but i i went on you know the big uh the big internet website there where they sell things and i couldn't find it i looked i looked everywhere i looked i looked up bird i looked up uh camera bird bird camera and and and and nothing came up and so what i ended up doing was kind of along that line along that vein uh i couldn't find a camera bird and so i i said you know what i i think that maybe what we should do is we should just hire a portrait artist and and have him come around with us everywhere we go hello boy

    Producer: boys and girls let's see what doodle boodle is drawing right now

    Natty Bumpercar: yeah and that was the worst part of the whole thing well you'll see maybe it's not the worst part but he came with his own voicemail oh hi everybody it's me

    Doodle Poodle: it's so great that you hired me

    Natty Bumpercar: yeah on second thought and i don't even know how this is on a second thought because i clearly that that was the worst part was that there was a screaming poodle who was in my house and following me around wanting to draw pictures of my baby and i'm pretty sure that he smelled a little bit like peppermint so

    Producer: hey dp what say we blow this joint

    Natty Bumpercar: wait are you serious did i just get walked out on by them i didn't even get a chance to fire him unmitigated disaster all right bumper podcast at nattybumpercar.com

    About This Episode

    In this episode of the Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar announces a new creative project for the website involving photographs of sad robots he's spotted around town. When an actual sad Robot character interrupts to question why Natty takes pictures without permission, the conversation takes an unexpectedly melancholic turn. Natty promises to help make things better for the sad robots and acknowledges that this episode is less funny than usual. He invites listeners to email him with their thoughts at bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com as he works to both document and hopefully cheer up the depressed robots of the world.
