    “News” is a side-splitting episode from the Bumperpodcast, an improvised comedy podcast set in the wacky town of Coffee-Can Alley. In this episode, Natty Bumpercar, Rufus T. Rufus, Producer, and Aloysius J. Pig engage in a series of humorous tangents as they attempt to discuss some exciting news. As they get sidetracked by everything from current events to bizarre hypothetical scenarios, the gang’s banter becomes increasingly absurd and comical.

    Despite the numerous distractions, the gang eventually receives the exciting news they were waiting for, leading to even more hilarity and unpredictable twists. With its quick wit, playful banter, and unexpected punchlines, “News” is a prime example of the Bumperpodcast’s ability to create unforgettable improvised comedy. The show celebrates the art of improvisation, and this episode is a testament to the cast’s comedic talent.

    Listeners will be entertained from beginning to end, as the gang navigates their way through the absurdity of Coffee-Can Alley with humor and grace. “News” is a must-listen for anyone looking for a good laugh and a break from the mundane.

    Natty Bumpercar 0:00
    For you guys, you guys, you guys, you guys. You guys. You guys. You guys.

    Aloysius J. Pig 0:07
    What is it Bumpercar What’s so excited about what you’ve seen he came in really hot, you seem very excited I am I’m super excited. But I’m also

    Producer 0:15
    really bothered just nippy, I didn’t do what you are super excited about. But maybe you want to tell us because your team very happy

    Natty Bumpercar 0:23
    I am producer but the house will have a problem I have I have something that I’m super excited about. But then I also have something that I’m kind of frustrated and bothered about. So which one do you want first?

    Rufus T. Rufus 0:33
    Well, not here as your lawyer. I recommend that we’re gonna get the bad news out of the way first, and then we can end on the high note. Because you know, that’s what I think it’s a better way to do business.

    Aloysius J. Pig 0:49
    You know, Rufus has a point because I always said you’re just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down into that same way that CRD it opposite roofers, that when you get the good news fires, and then it softens the blow of the of the of the bad nose. So I don’t know, I guess we’re of two minds,

    Producer 1:08
    or two seems like a lot of sugar that you’re taking a whole spoonful, it’s going to definitely go over your daily requirements of sugar. So yeah, that seems like it’s a bad equation. You know, if you’ve got to take your medicine, you just kind of let it go medicine, you don’t have to be taking all of it. Sugar as well. And you know, they say if you’re sick, you don’t want to be taking a lot of sugar.

    Natty Bumpercar 1:31
    Okay, yeah. Well, that’s, that’s that’s a good point. I you know, I Rufus, I see what you’re saying, you know, bad news, get it out of the way. Good news. And on a high note, pig, I see what you’re saying. Also, the good news is going to ease you into the bad news. And, and and producer, I think you’re right. I think that probably too much sugar isn’t really going to help if someone is sick. And you know, what kind of medicine is it that we’re taking that you’re going to need a spoonful of sugar? And is it just a spoonful of sugar? And then is it a spoonful of medicine? Because that one to one ratio is just not going to be good? I’m gonna have to reach like, if you ever tried to eat a spoonful of sugar, it is not easy

    Rufus T. Rufus 2:16
    at all. Now not as your lawyer it’s me. Hi, everyone. It’s Rufus here. We are not a medical advice. No. And so I’m hesitant for you to be out here with your equations and your representations. And your I don’t know you’re just kind of spewing some medical advice and I don’t think we’re comfortable and number one be telling you Okay, so watch ourselves a little bit here. i So, what we will do is everyone please ignore nine, the sugar medicine that was that was previously discussed on this bar now. Okay. And I think we may not it will just move forward with whatever your big news is or whatever. Okay, okay.

    Natty Bumpercar 3:08
    Okay. Totally makes sense. Totally agree. Yeah, I don’t really think we were giving medical advice, but you are the lawyer so I will listen to you. So here’s what I’m gonna do. I have two numbers. In my head. Pig. I’m gonna let you count the numbers that

    Aloysius J. Pig 3:24
    are between 711 Seven left seven.

    Natty Bumpercar 3:27
    You went a little too fast there. I didn’t tell you what they were in between. So pickle is in a pickle. No, that’s also that’s actually not even a number. That’s it’s yeah,

    Aloysius J. Pig 3:37
    it’s delicious. Are you gonna agree that pickles are wonderful. You get sweet pickles? You got sour pickles? You could sometimes I spicy pickle. I mean pickles. Really? They could they run the gamut of different kinds of I don’t know if they what are they called? They’re not condiments are not side items. What does it pick up? Exactly?

    Rufus T. Rufus 3:54
    I think that the word you’re looking for as a contract ma I think what you’re looking for is kind of a flourish you know on a plate. I think a pickle is one of those things. It’s an add on the just elevates your meal a little bit. Let’s say I’m having a butter sandwich which is of course delicious. You take your bread and you put your butter on and then you sprinkle a little a little sugar and the

    Producer 4:24
    sugar there. Yeah. A lot of sugar.

    Rufus T. Rufus 4:27
    We’ve been sponsored by big sugar this week. Nothing sugar. Did they call him

    Natty Bumpercar 4:31
    no no excuse. No one called in and watch the microphone. You just ran into it? No, but first off I’ve never had a butter sandwich. That sounds great. It sounds really great. But so it’s it’s it’s it’s bread and butter and then sugar and then more bread. Yeah, that just I I don’t see any nutritional value coming Any any of that? Really? Yeah. And

    Aloysius J. Pig 5:01
    I’m wondering, what is real fish with a woody giving you this butter sandwich with the sugar before they were giving you some sort of medicine? Just a sandwich and helps that. And with I don’t know what I was doing there Yeah,

    Rufus T. Rufus 5:23
    you will you would be ruining the whole day we were here we were talking about butter sandwiches. It’s a delicious treat. And we were talking about pickles, and I finally figured out what they are the Okay, just don’t worry.

    Natty Bumpercar 5:39
    Don’t worry about it. Cool. I don’t want to talk about pickles anymore.

    Producer 5:43
    Hold on one second that they pickled is actually a cucumber then. So it’s like you magically you take the cucumber, and you just have to do some I don’t know things to it, and then it becomes a little bit of a pickle.

    Aloysius J. Pig 5:57
    Everybody knows what a pickle is?

    Producer 6:01
    Not a yes or no, no.

    Aloysius J. Pig 6:03
    Why don’t produce Why don’t you go back behind the board. You’ve done a lot of talking done today’s episode. And you just handle the buttons and knobs and the tubes and the wires and everything back there. And oh, come on pump like I was you know, yeah, we’re like 17 minutes into we’re not we’re not and I finally I’m ready. I’m actually what it is, is I’m not ready for the news. But I’m just done with this whole thing. Whoa. And so I’m ready to be done. Okay, if that’s okay, yeah, that’s

    Natty Bumpercar 6:30
    totally fine and totally understandable and totally acceptable. So, here’s the news. The good news, and it’s pretty phenomenal, I think, is that the bumper podcast just past 80,000 listens in the time that 80,000 listeners to this podcast since we started.

    Rufus T. Rufus 6:54
    A lawyer here. Let me just get some papers out here are 80,000 I feel like we have reached some sort of out here. We have a contract threshold here and the contract. Yeah. Yeah. At 8000 and every 20,004. After that. We are on to receive a PayPal.

    Aloysius J. Pig 7:19
    So we get paid.

    Rufus T. Rufus 7:23
    A percentage, I think. I suppose I can circle up and I’m gonna come back on this if you don’t mind, because my list is wonderful news. Congratulations to everyone. Yeah, good job. We should have some sort of a party, maybe get some sandwiches and put some pickles.

    Aloysius J. Pig 7:43
    Don’t come Don’t do that to him rule for you. Wow, good job. Bomberger. Everyone is super thrilled at the bumper podcast, it’s been listened to over 80,000 times. That’s amazing. And we’re why like 430 episodes in 12 years, can somebody do the math and tell me like, What is that like eight listens per episode? Like two, two lessons per year? Like what is it a good number I don’t even know allergies.

    Producer 8:10
    I know, I’m not supposed to talk, but I respect her crunching some numbers and I came up with this. So 430 episodes, it means divided by, well, you have 280 1000 divided by 430. And it comes up to like 187 episodes. Okay. And then if you think there’ll be deeper

    Rufus T. Rufus 8:34
    now, it was a one second I don’t I don’t mean to interrupt, because these wonderful numbers you’ve come up with. But I was wondering, can you make some sort of spreadsheet with some sort of shot? Maybe a bar chart? Maybe it’s a good idea? I don’t know. Maybe it’s some sort of a pie chart or something.

    Natty Bumpercar 8:51
    Now you now you’re talking I did not enjoy the reference to the pickle party. But I very much enjoy the reference to a pie chart because I think you all know I love a good pie. Yeah, I

    Aloysius J. Pig 9:03
    mean, how could you not pie pie pies? Pies. Good. Because you can have a sweet pie. You can do like an apple. Or like Apple rhubarb or strawberry rhubarb. A little berry is another good pie.

    Rufus T. Rufus 9:19
    I mean, you can do a Marang also, you can do like lemon Marang you can I mean there’s so many options for pie.

    Producer 9:26
    You know, was one of the talks about the numbers but nothing we’re talking about bias. You can have sweet pies you can have savory pies, which are just delicious. You know, you can have like a good dumpling kind of pie. Or you can have a minced pie I don’t know really what that is. You can have a Thanksgiving pie

    Natty Bumpercar 9:49
    weird Turkey you didn’t show up for the Thanksgiving episode you forgot to come I guess. But now you just appear when when when when producer mentioned A Thanksgiving pie I

    Producer 10:09
    completely understand and you know, I was not going to be in tentative, I was just going to go over the numbers, and we were talking about pies. And then I got a little bit over my skis. But really quickly, I just wanted to tell everybody, so if you take the numbers or 800,000, I think we’ve been doing this or something like 12 years, and you divide the 8000 by 12 years, you come up with how many episodes are no Debbie, listen to? You don’t think of that.

    Natty Bumpercar 10:39
    Yeah, that sounds like yes, I would very much like to hear that. I mean, it’s not going to be super representative, because I’m sure as less listens in the beginning that maybe it is now but yeah, tell us what, how what that number breaks down.

    Producer 10:50
    Okay, with everyone from freaking the one out but if you divide 1000 by 12, you know, the year, it comes up to 6,666.66666?

    Rufus T. Rufus 11:05
    Nope, you’re gonna we’re gonna either than we we’ve been doing it shorter or longer, because that number is not acceptable. And that is the good news was the 80,000. That’s the bad news. And is that we just does this doesn’t seem acceptable to me at all. Bad luck home in Canada

    Natty Bumpercar 11:20
    number. No, it has nothing to do with the bad news that I think that that number is totally random. And you know, we’d have to go back and look at see when we actually started and everything because I don’t really no, but no, don’t let, let’s let’s not freak out about that. We’ll just say it was around 6500 per year, roughly. And then that feels a lot better. I agree. But no, no, no, no, that’s this is all great news. This is all the good news. Good news. 80,000 listens way to go. Bumper podcast. Thank you so much bumper podcast, good tears. You know, we’ve been on the non pro network. We’ve been on the shining wizards. Podcast Network. We’re currently on Radio Free Montclair. So it’s great. We’re doing things. I appreciate it. But we also have some bad news. I think we have time that I should probably talk about

    Aloysius J. Pig 12:11
    that. Yeah, you should probably get to it. What is the what is the bad news?

    Natty Bumpercar 12:14
    Well, the bad news is I don’t know if you listen to the last week’s episode, but that guy still has all of our equipment and so we haven’t even been recording this. I’ve this is just a brick that I put in front of you all and this isn’t really an episode. This was we didn’t have an episode this week, right.

Producer 0:07 I’m Natty Bumpercar. Natty Bumpercar 0:09 And this is the bumper podcast. And well, I hope you have fun because we’re gonna try real hard. Aloysius J. Pig 0:18 Natty. Hey everybody. It’s me. Aloysius J pig. And I don’t know if I like what you just said about trying real hard. We’re not really known for trying real hard. We’re we’re more of just kind of a show up kind of show. I mean, we don’t even really have an intro. Rufus T. Rufus 0:37 Natty. Yeah, now I am Rufus. T. Rufus. Apologize. I got a bit of a crick in my stomach today. I am the lawyer around here. And what Alouettes is cherry pick just said is absolutely true. Net it. You can’t call yourself a real show. A real professional show. If you don’t have an intro. Natty Bumpercar 1:01 Yeah, I and I apologize for that. Did I say we were professional show? I don’t know. I just I think I just said we were gonna try to have fun. We don’t we don’t have an intro. We have this super slick bed of music under us, which we kind of just made today. And I think that’s pretty poppin if I’m to be honest, but no, no, no intro, we have a cool outro but not my no intro that just I don’t know why that’s never happened. I Producer 1:26 can I dare nothing. It’s me, producer. I am a frog. If everybody doesn’t doesn’t know. And well, I, you know, I produce the show. But we’ve had many meetings, it’s up there on the board. You can see it right there. You can look at the sticky pad. And he says, make an intro. And somebody decided to put a lot of question marks behind it. So as you say it says so it doesn’t just say make an intro like a statement. Now it says make an intro, like a lot of question marks and I don’t appreciate it. Because, you know, you all make fun of me and my day job that I do is but producing is a hard job for experience ready for Yeah. Natty Bumpercar 2:10 I, you are very smart frog and I do. I’m not sure who put all those question marks so that it seems excessive. Well, we know we’ll get to the bottom of that maybe at our at our next meeting. But for now, I think we should do kind of an introduction as to what the show is and who all wall is on the show. So I’m Natty Bumpercar. I sometimes do stand up comedy. I sometimes illustrate kids books, I make paintings, and I’m a doer of stuff. And as a maker of things. Sometimes people refer to me as the artful otter is the king of all the elephants, the mayor of coffee can alley. These are all things that I’ve been called. I’ve been called a lot of other things too. But for the sake of this show, I think that we will just stick to those boom, BAM Aloysius J. Pig 3:06 in there. I heard you start to go into the beat like that. It was tough though, because the beat keeps shifting around. So I was I was feeling a little bit musical as well. But I didn’t know if I could lay into the cut as they say it’s like a record thing. So now a record is Yeah, it’s a big disk. It’s a big circle. And it’s made of plastic a waxy say they always said wax. I used to go to a store called wax and tracks. And it was they said it was wet. But there’s no way that it’s wax. Nice. Do you guys everybody know what a record is? It’s a it’s a today’s we already covered that. Sometimes different colors. And in the middle, there’s a little hole, and it goes on to our record player. And then you have touches the arm of the record player, which is like this long. You know, and it’s a needle and it goes it goes into the groove of the racket. Yep. Yep. So I always say you Okay, yeah, no, Unknown Speaker 4:03 I lost. Unknown Speaker 4:05 I lost my voice. Natty Bumpercar 4:08 I didn’t. I didn’t know you’re gonna be talking about records and stuff today. I feel like we could have, we should have done some research if we were going to be talking about a specific subject or specific topics. But you know what, it’s fine. We’re fine. Rufus T. Rufus 4:22 As a lawyer, I have to say, you know, I just further on implicate to D implicate to, to remove ourselves from any sorts of liabilities that Yeah, we don’t know anything about reckons we haven’t reserved it. So any information that you take from this show, just heat it with a grain of salt. Oh, if you understand what I say Producer 4:49 they actually don’t understand you. We take it with a grain of salt. So if someone gives me this information Somebody device, maybe some sorts of thing, then I’m going to say they’re going to say, Hey, you are a producer. You should you should buy those shoes. And here’s a grain of salt. What? Why would I take? I don’t want your grain of salt. Where it was it? Was it in your bucket is when did you do this? Find it on the floor? Was it in its salt packet? Did you strike a salt lick that a cow is common? And it says has lit? Okay. Natty Bumpercar 5:29 So I understand but calm down. I think you’re okay. Producer. It’s just a it’s just a phrase pretty common phrase. I don’t know what it means either. But take it with a grain of salt. Aloysius J. Pig 5:38 I don’t know about you. But I hear and all this talk about salt. It’s made me very hungry. I don’t know what time it is necessarily. But being a pig. It’s kind of always, you know, they say, hey, it’s lunchtime. Some Yeah. Natty Bumpercar 5:52 It’s interesting that you went with lunchtime and not breakfast or dinner or you just went what a stick. it’s meal time. I don’t know. I don’t know why. I don’t know why I’m picking on you. I’m sorry. Yeah, I Aloysius J. Pig 6:04 don’t like it. All right. I think everyone who’s listening again, this is a bumper Podcast. I’m Aloysius JPEG. It’s his show. We’re just welcome to be here. We don’t get paid. You know, it is fun. He said, Oh, you don’t have the exposure you get on my show, kid, you’re gonna make it big. And I didn’t I don’t. Is that true? I don’t feel Natty Bumpercar 6:27 so good free room and board. Like you get to live here for free. And there’s all kinds of I take care of all of you. And I don’t feel like it’s nice to be searched my name. That means to say something mean about me. I mean, I’m a comedian. And I don’t know if anyone out there knows this. Comedians don’t always make all that much money. Sometimes you make $1 Maybe $2. One time, somebody. They had dropped $10 At a show and I went down to grab it. And I was like, This is my big payday. And then they came back and they said thank you for my $10 I was like, Whoa, all right. And then they said you can leave now and I went okay, and I didn’t get any $10 Not even a one $10 But that’s okay, I survived. Rufus T. Rufus 7:27 I thrived. Natty Bumpercar 7:28 Is there anybody else back there that hasn’t introduced themselves Hey, doodle poodle What Rufus T. Rufus 8:01 are you do an open call for Hey, anybody can be on the show. That’s the kind of content you’re gonna get with the dog Joe a con kabane thinks it’s so funny. Natty Bumpercar 8:11 To be there we haven’t actually seen the corncob so maybe it’s like a corncob that was drawn in a funny way or maybe it has like googly eyes on it. I don’t know good student photo Can you can you show us corn go Unknown Speaker 8:30 to my dog Rufus T. Rufus 8:38 know Natty, the doodle poodle just ran away. But I gotta say we are not legally obligated to talk about this corncob drawn anymore. So if he doesn’t come back before the end of this show, then I don’t feel like we need to bring that up again. I’m just saying as your representative that you know, it’s wonderful that he drew a corncob and he says it’s funny but this radio free Montclair is an audio medium. And so it might not lend itself to the ears of anyone who is out there who happens to be listening. Okay, now Natty Bumpercar 9:18 I’m saying yeah, what does that mean that that makes sense. So we should talk about something else in maybe Doodle poll is not going to make it back but I don’t know. Is there anybody else? What do you mean nobody ever talks to you? I feel like we’ve been talking to you more and more. I love your your you’re modulating your voice a little bit differently. It sounds awesome. Did you get a new voice, chip or what have you You don’t understand. Aloysius J. Pig 10:01 You’re talking about chips or salt and now we’re talking about chips and I’m telling you I’m starving Oh Unknown Speaker 10:07 away okay, how Aloysius J. Pig 10:08 much more minutes do we got to do because I really want stay. Natty Bumpercar 10:14 I like I really wants to eat I love how you turned into somebody who’s like No, no, no whatever really wants D The my Producer 10:27 if you didn’t have a Nana, you can say no, he’s not your nana. What did you What did you have nothing. Natty Bumpercar 10:34 You know, I Well, I had a one was just grandmother, it was kind of not it was like grandmother like that. And but the other one was, I don’t remember. But here’s the craziest thing for me. She was just grandmother, but then for my younger cousin, she became a MIMO. And at a point they were like, you could call her me ma and I was like, yeah, she’s grandmother. But then there was mama Xia was the other grandmother that I had so i You’re right. I didn’t have a Nana. Rufus T. Rufus 11:04 How did you know producer producer? Have you been reading the files that I have on everyone? The background? The history is predication. Aloysius J. Pig 11:20 This is a kid show he can. You can at least you shouldn’t look words up before. I know some words. My goodness, Natty Bumpercar 11:27 I just looked at. I looked both travel.

    About This Episode

    In episode 390 of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar returns after a mysterious absence, revealing that the "Future Bumpercar" from previous episodes was actually an actor named Reginald from a renaissance fair. Aloysius J. Pig and Doodle Poodle are not amused by Natty's elaborate prank, which abandoned the planned Season 2 storyline. Natty announces the launch of a new Patreon page at patreon.com/nattybumpercar, promising exclusive content, merchandise like t-shirts and stickers, and a book in development. Despite the playful anger from his puppet friends about the production hiatus and pulling the rug out from under listeners, Natty remains optimistic about creating more content through the Patreon platform.

    Natty Bumpercar: you you should have seen the look on you guys's faces this is hilarious this is wait what natty what yeah yeah no no it's me i'm back this is natty this doesn't make any sense remember there's the whole thing it's been a long time since you record with i don't understand what's happening you're not natty uh i almost i never i'm never confused but right now i'm mighty confused i don't know how to what is happening so so so so okay remember we there was like season two and where's natty and natty's in the future and the future natty came back and it was like all crazy and there was like a really cool song and everything and yeah i remember because i made a

    Doodle Poodle: really nice drawings of you in the cave and it was i made some drawings you know natty so this

    Natty Bumpercar: dog over here he made some drawings for you because we were very worried but concerned you understand and you you would disappear and yeah yeah i don't understand what's happening well so that's the funny thing is we i kind of played a big prank on everybody and uh i uh i got the the oh what is this you called him like old natty or something like that we called him future bumper car because he was supposed to be from the future and he said that you you had gone to the future and we were here and we were here and we were here and we were here and we were here and we were here and

    Doodle Poodle: Everything. I'm very, I'm super confused as well.

    Natty Bumpercar: I'm sorry, Doodle Poodle. Doodle Poodle, it's weird. You're only coming in through one channel. I can only hear you in my left speaker. Can you fix that? Stop trying to deflect, Bumper Guy. No one's happy right now, okay? You caused an uproar. You caused a hullabaloo. You caused a big what to do is what you did, okay? And so no one's, don't worry, Doodle Poodle, you're okay. Calm, take your deep breaths. Take your deep breaths, okay? The dog is very upset here, Natty. What Aloysius just said is true. Now, there are jokes and there are jokes, but, you know, you've really outdone yourself. You've put out two episodes in like three months now, which is unheard of. I know. People have flocked away. What? Really? Now, can you explain that? Well, yeah, so I've been really busy. Yeah. Busy, seriously? Yeah, I know. But I have. I started, we started a Patreon page. A Patreon, what? Yeah, no, what is this, Bumper Guy? I don't understand. No. Is there something legal involved? Yeah, so it's a place that people can go and they can subscribe to different levels and we can actually start to, you know, like, fund this thing. Hold on a second here. You are speaking my language, my lingua franca, as it were. Now, so you could say we can be raising some, some, some, some sweet, sweet cash on, on, on this Pat, Patrion. Pa, Patrion, yeah, and it's, it's just, it's, it's easy because it's just, I think, I'm trying to think. It's a website and the URL, it's just patrion.com slash nattybumpercar and so people can go there and they can get, like, cool things. Like, we're trying to figure out T-shirts and buttons and stickers and, like, exclusive stuff that only the people who subscribe to the Patreon can see. Which is kind of neat. Like, we're doing silly unboxing videos. We're getting the studio all set up so that we can start to really pump out more content. More content, more content, more content, more content. Man, I can't, what else are we gonna make? We had Snowflake, the webcomic that you did. We do the podcast every so often. I hope it's more often now. We did Piggin' Pals. We did that every day for, like, I don't know, five months. So, I mean, we got so much content. Now, is there a user agreement? Is there some sort of EULA? Is there some sort of thing that I, I feel like I need to read over this paperwork before we go full, full, full bore. Excuse me. Yeah. Good one. Full pig. Full pig. Thank you. With this whole thing. It's not that funny, okay? Full bore is not something we say in, in, in my world, okay? It's not a, it's not a nice thing to say, all right? Yeah, don't say that. So, it's already, it's already launched. It's already there. It's already, like, everything, I, we, I made all sorts of cool images and levels and videos. I've already have, like, a welcome, welcome to the Patreon type thing. And, yeah, so it's just gonna be a fun thing. So, I hope, you know, we'll, we'll, we'll definitely promote it and plug it. And hopefully people will start hopping on. And that would be amazing. Uh, because the thing is, is we love making stuff, obviously. Oh, well, do we really, though? Yes, of course we do. Or else I wouldn't be standing in a freezing cold room, uh, this shed, no insulation, no heat, no power, uh, making this right now, right? I mean, it's just fun to make stuff. If you don't make stuff, what are you doing? You're languishing. You're laundering? No, you're laying. You're lackadaisical. It's a lot of L words. Uh, like, uh, lima beans? Uh, lappa dappa? I'm trying to think. There's not a lot of L words, are there? Uh, excuse me, everyone. I feel like I should step on your toes a bit to ask a question. Am I still required here? Holy guacamole, I forgot he was even still here. Yeah, that's another mystery. Who is this dude, Matty? I don't know, like, who is he? Well, um, my name is… I didn't ask you. Well, finally. Yeah. Matty, not you. Okay, no need to be rude. Uh, he did ask me, though. Um, so, he is… not some random dude that I found at a renaissance fair, uh, who is looking for work. Wait a minute. He's definitely not that. Are we paying him? Because if you're finding just actors on the streets, they don't just act for nothing, do they? If I may… You may not. You may not. Pig. Not nice. No, no, Pig and Lou is on to something important here, I feel. So, if we can just get actors, what are we paying everybody here for? Are we paying you? And that, sir, is a direct question. Do not try to facilitate or obfuscate my answer, please. Okay, I am here for the craft, for the love of the craft, for the love of the art, if you will.

    Robot: Well, um, my actual name is Reginald, and I have been in an acting troupe. My entire life.

    Natty Bumpercar: And, well, I'm just happy to have come here and done the research and all the work. And, of course, I'm going to put a hat out if you would… He's going to throw a hat? Why? Like, to… What do you do? To do what? Throw a couple of coins in. What? No way! This is… You're not going to busk here. This is a studio. What are you talking about? This is like a residence. Kind of bizarre. Keep your hand on your head. Um, yeah, we… Reginald, I'm… I do appreciate… I appreciate all the work you did and, uh, everything, but, you know, we kind of talked about how you didn't want to be paid, and so I think probably throwing a hat out at this point is not a great idea. And, really, uh, not a happy audience. Nope. Not a happy audience here right now. Well, then, I suppose I will be on my way, but not before I give you a final bow and bid you adieu. Okay, uh, thanks, Reginald. We'll see you later.

    Robot: All the world's a stage!

    Natty Bumpercar: He didn't say all the world is a stage. Come on, bumper car, you got to stop bringing random people into the house, okay? It's just… It's just weird, though. Yeah, but… Yeah, but it was kind of funny, right? The whole thing, the future, and, you know, we got two cool episodes out of it, and… Nope. I am seeing through this. I am seeing through this facade. I'm seeing through this ruse. You just didn't want to keep doing all the production. And making the songs. You did two… Because we had a whole script written out. We had a whole thing figured out that we were going to do. There was an outline. Remember season two? We were super excited about it. Well, yeah, and, uh… Shh! That's behind the scenes. You didn't want to do the work! Okay. So that's behind the scenes stuff, pig. Uh, and it was a ton of work, and I wanted to focus on the Patreon, and I'm sure you'll be sure we're going to do episodic content at some point. Right? I assume… You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself there, Natty. Just absolutely beside yourself. Just, what are you doing? Not just to yourself, but to your friends, us, and to your listeners. You're putting out a carpet so they can step on it, and you're just pulling it out from under them. You're putting a carpet over mud… Yeah. …to protect your listeners. And then you're ripping it out underneath them. Oh, now I feel terrible. And you should. I don't know how you sleep at night, but you should feel very rough. Uh, you know what? I'm done for today. Talk about your Patreon thing again. Plug it away. You know, whatevs. But, man, this is really having me, uh, refocus on some of my issues here. I'm really looking at my life, is all I'm saying. Come on, buddy. Okay. Um, well, yeah. Hey, everybody. So, I'm really sorry about the trick. Uh, but it's okay, because we have a Patreon. Patreon.com slash NattyBumperCar. Please go check it out. Uh, there'll be exclusive content. There'll be, like, prizes you can get if you join certain levels. We're… T-shirts, buttons, stickers, and a really cool thing. We're working on a book. All of us. Uh, and it's pretty far along. And so, I hope in the next couple months that I'll have, uh, something for you to check out. Because, you know, we like to make stuff. Make stuff for you. Make stuff for you. That's what we do. Remember the cool song? Uh, that was… That was a lot of fun to make. Maybe there'll be more songs. I don't know. I've never fired a client, but, uh, I'm on the verge of cutting you loose. Yeah, I got your, uh, invoice. Uh, I'm gonna have that paid for you tomorrow, okay? Well, welcome back to the… Oh, my best client. Natty Bumpercar.

    Robot: What, what? If you like what we're doing, please subscribe to our podcast. Like it. Give us a review. Tell your friends to listen. It helps more than you could know. Don't forget to go to our Patreon. Patreon.com slash Natty Bumpercar. Every little bit helps. Toodles!

    Bumperpodcast #220 – Mystery solved – and meatballin’!

    The mystery is solved – and we find that some mysteries are best left alone. Fireplug is in the house – along with Pig, Robot, and Doodle Poodle. To infinity!

    Do you ever go meatballing?! Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com

    Comedian, Natty Bumpercar does some junk in today’s edition of the Bumperpodcast.


    About This Episode

    In episode 220 of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar discovers a mysteriously lost episode tape while moving boxes. For once, the show actually resolves a storyline quickly instead of letting it drag on for months. When the crew gathers to listen to the recovered tape, they're horrified by what they hear – a terrible soundscape experiment that gives Aloysious J. Pig a furball despite being a pig. Robot denies responsibility, claiming his content is too cool for such a disaster. After much chaos and finger-pointing among the characters, Doodle Poodle finally confesses to creating the awful lost episode.

    Memorable Quotes

    “That was the worst thing I ever heard in my life. Do we record that? Is that an actual episode?”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “All my stuff is pretty good. Like, it's pretty on point. Like, the kids all like to listen to it when robot speaks because robot is so cool.”

    — Robot

    “Usually things drag on for months at a time and then are just dropped and forgotten.”

That was a weird sign-off you did. That would all be all right with me.

Robot, is that something you were doing? Because, oh, that hurt my nose. You gave pig a furball? I don't understand what. Is that why it was never posted? Because it was just that horrible?

    Bumperpodcast 72 – Bamboo infiltration!

    Today is the most thrilling day yet – here – at the Bumperpodcast …

    Oh – are you wondering why?

    Well, it’s because we have been infiltrated by bamboo … a fact that may make more sense after you listen to today’s installment of the Bumperpodcast!

     

     


    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar introduces a brand new intern at Bumperpodcast headquarters. The episode follows their first day together, which involves sending out an email campaign that took two and a half hours to complete and was opened by exactly eight people. The intern also photographed items in the basement, added four people to the mailing list, and addressed letters for sticker requests. Much of the episode centers on the challenge of coming up with the perfect nickname for the intern, with options including "Buffy" (her existing nickname from friends) and Natty's suggestion of "Bamboo." The casual, improvisational conversation captures the behind-the-scenes reality of running a podcast.

    Memorable Quotes

    “We had an octagon of people who opened up the email.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I was gonna call you bamboo which is a weird nickname but it's a b name… it feels like it has an island feel to it.”
