    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 69, Natty Bumpercar sets out to do some science in the laboratory, planning to create a gelatin dessert with suspended fruit. He muses about the significance of circled dates on calendars and shares his fascination with gelatin's ability to suspend cherries and peaches in time. Natty also provides an update on the new headquarters in Caldwell, where unseasonably cold weather has forced everyone to huddle around barrel fires and forage for firewood. Instead of frolicking in shorts as they should be during warm weather, the crew can only focus on staying warm and eating gelatin.

    Memorable Quotes

    “It's half a cherry it's just suspended it's not going anywhere it's stuck right there forever at least until I eat it and then I don't know what happens to it because I'm done with it at that point.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “It's the time of year to be warm to be hot to be steamy to wear shorts to run around to frolic to play but we can't do that instead all we can do is eat gelatin.”

    Bumperpodcast 68 – Reintroduction!

    Allow us to reintroduce ourselves! Everyone is onboard for the inaugural Bumperpodcast at New Headquarters … All excited to tell you about the fun new stuff that is going on and …

    Then – no one shows up … except for … Well – I’m not going to give the secret away here – now am I?!

    We might even learn how to spell a little bit on today’s Bumperpodcast!


    About This Episode

    In episode 68, Natty Bumpercar welcomes listeners to the brand new Bumperpodcast headquarters after taking just one week off to move. Natty hilariously spells out his entire name and describes how moving boxes have been repurposed into castles and rocket ships throughout the new space. Despite planning to have the entire cast present for the big headquarters debut—including Mott the Sheep, Doodle Poodle, Baby Emerson, Aloysious J. Pig, Yetkin the Moose, and Cinnamon the Horse—everyone mysteriously disappears. Only Robot remains, and he reveals a mischievous secret about why everyone else is absent. This chaotic and funny episode captures the improvisational spirit of the show during a major transition.

    Bumperpodcast 67 – Inun-crazy!

    Robot sneekily starts off the show by grabbing the mic while Natty Bumpercar is otherwise involved. Watch the sparks fly when Natty finds out!

    Headquarters is getting packed and everyone is a little inundated.

    Just take a deep breath and count to at least 2 or 3 …


    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar is in the middle of moving headquarters when Robot decides to start recording without permission. Stressed and overwhelmed with packing boxes, Natty discovers Robot has taken over the podcast on a busy Wednesday. Robot earnestly tries to help by asking what he can do to make Natty's life easier, only to immediately ask if he can take a nap instead. The comedic tension builds as the frazzled Natty struggles to even count to three and hilariously loses patience with his well-meaning but oblivious robotic companion.

    Robot: Hello, everybody, it's me, Robot, Matty, but the car is moving things, and so he said that I can't…

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, hey, Robot, what… Get away from him. Come on, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away. Okay, see you later. Talky words, talky words. I'm just like, move this box, pack this box, move this thing, do this thing, and then I come in here to this place, headquarters, soon-to-be-headquarters-old, okay, I'm just going to hold it together, soon-to-be-headquarters-old, and find that Robot is recording a bumper podcast. Yes, I understand it's Wednesday, and my plan was to move a lot of stuff and then to get to it a little bit later, and…

    Robot: What, are you serious? You're coming back? I have a question, I have a very important question, I have a very serious and very important question that I want to ask you, and I want to… Stop!

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar returns after a week-long absence to explain the chaos at headquarters. The show is in the midst of moving to a new location, with everything being packed up and moved. Natty is clearly frazzled by the relocation process, admitting he doesn't even know the new address yet beyond that it starts with the letter C. The episode captures Natty's energetic, stream-of-consciousness style as he discusses packing up elephants' trunks, drinking cranberry juice tea that turns into rocket fuel, and the general confusion that comes with moving too much. It's a short but amusing glimpse into the behind-the-scenes upheaval of the podcast's production.

    “I put a little cranberry juice in my tea this morning. Oh, that's a good trick for me to find out about. Evidently, cranberry juice makes my tea in the morning rocket fuel.”

    Natty Bumpercar: Where in the world, where in the beans, where in the hill of beans have you been, Daddy Bumpercar? We've been missing you. You weren't here last week and the website hasn't been updated except for all those Mott the Sheep pictures, which don't even really seem like updates because it just seems like you're putting pictures of a sheep on the website. Where have you been? Well, calm down, everybody. There's crazy stuff going on over here in headquarters. Yeah, in headquarters, around headquarters, all about headquarters because you know what's going on? We're pulling up the tent stakes, pulling up the tent poles, the elephants are all around. They're gathering up their belongings. They're gathering up their peanuts and their, um, their, their, their, their things. Wait a minute. Their trunks. That's what I was trying to say. They're packing their trunks. I wish I would have said that just like I just said it. And not like I had to think about it. Hello, everyone. We're moving headquarters. We're in the midst of moving headquarters. Everything's going into boxes. Everything's getting wrapped up tightly and nicely because we don't want to break anything. Even though, unfortunately, sometimes when we move, things get broken. Sometimes hearts get broken when you move. I know. It's so sad. What have you guys been doing? Like, I know I could just sit here and talk about myself. Sometimes I worry about you guys, too, especially when I haven't talked to you for a whole week. Am I going too fast? Wow. What was in my tea that I drank? Oh, that's right. I put a little cranberry juice in my tea this morning. Oh, that's a good trick for me to find out about. Evidently, cranberry juice makes my tea in the morning rocket fuel. It really just winds me up. Well, not only the tea, but the whole fact that headquarters is moving. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I was freaked out. I don't like to move. I move too much. Too much moving equals confused bumper car. I mean, I just learned my address for headquarters this. We call this place headquarters this. We're calling new headquarters headquarters that. I don't even know where it is. People say to me, well, bumper car, where's your new headquarters? And I say to them. I don't know. And I'm not even being like obtuse. I honestly genuinely don't know. It's in. I say it's in a place that begins with the letter C. And that's not enough for people. People want more. People want a letter C. You're moving to the letter C bumper car. That doesn't make any sense. Why are you being so like that? And I said like this.

    Unknown: She's going to. I said you're pushing the collaborative. You're pushing the collaborative. We're gonna make sure everybody's back up next year. Keep it up. Be ahuman. We're not gonna let it hurt our friends. We're not gonna let anybody make you out on campus unless you take over. No! You gotta come back over next year, bitches. But we did it anyways. I know, didn't we? Always. I'm out. I'm out. Bye guys. Bye guys. I wanna kiss. Take a while. I don't know. Could get all these things over with. Bye.
