    About This Episode

    In this solo episode, Natty Bumpercar celebrates his birthday in characteristically chaotic fashion. He enthusiastically lists increasingly absurd birthday treats including cake soup, cake float, cake shake, and the tongue-twisting "cake cocktail." Natty reflects on his recent 850-mile road trip into "the belly of the beast," reveals he's recording on a new device that could send the show into space, and shares mundane yet hilarious life updates including eating four pieces of pizza and taking a shower that required removing an "exoskeleton of dirt" built up from fighting evil hordes. The episode showcases Natty's signature stream-of-consciousness comedy style as he invites listeners to join him on his metaphorical birthday cruise.

    About This Episode

    Natty Bumpercar takes the Bumperpodcast on the road in this unique mobile episode. While navigating traffic, stuck behind a bus full of high school teenagers, and using his blinker, Natty attempts to figure out how many days it's been since the last episode. He shares his philosophy about driving wherever the roads take him, debates whether it's been seven or eight days, and teaches listeners the official Bumperpodcast driving song that goes "boom chaka boom." This improvised road trip episode captures Natty talking to himself in the car, confusing day counting, and the chaos of recording a podcast while operating a vehicle.
