    About This Episode

It's a relatable comedy about the chaos of watching kids and the importance of never blinking too slowly.

    Memorable Quotes

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “I blinked and I'm a very slow blinker and when I open my eyes again the little one is gone.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    Bumperpodcast 256 – Doctor – Doctor

    It’s a ‘Classic Bumperpodcast’ without an interview – and Bumpercar is on a real tear about allergies, and his doctor’s schedule. It’s a bit of a hoot!

    Do you feel better? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    About This Episode

    In this classic solo Bumperpodcast episode, host Natty Bumpercar shares his springtime woes in Coffee Can Alley. Natty hilariously recounts his frustrating battle with seasonal allergies that lead to asthma, bronchitis, and even pneumonitis. He vents about his doctor's office mysteriously closing at 10 AM after opening at 9, complete with a comedic breakdown of how his doctor apparently spends that single hour. With his eyes bulging like a puffer fish and watering like he's 90 years old, Natty decides to find a new doctor. This short, conversational episode showcases Natty's signature rambling style without any guest characters interrupting his stream-of-consciousness complaints.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I look like a puffer fish right now which is cool except I don't actually have the little spikes if I had spikes maybe i would deal with the eyes”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Who's not open at 10:30? They left at 10. How long were you there? What time did you open that you thought it was okay to leave at 10? That's not a day.”

    About This Episode

    In episode 255 of the Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar battles an unfortunate case of the hiccups while announcing that the gang has been kicked out of their headquarters basement. Recording remotely via phone, Natty reflects on the arrival of spring and kids' brutally honest reactions to parental singing. The highlight is Aloysious J. Pig's interview with comedian Kevin Israel, a former lawyer turned stand-up comic who discusses his upcoming show at Harrah's Atlantic City, his radio show "Offenders of the Universe," and his web series "Bros."
