Bumpercar is back at Headquarters – where nothing works and everything is a mess. Strap in for chaos on this week’s Bumperpodcast – with Pig, Robot, some pirate, and Doodle Poodle!
Chaos? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.
Natty Bumpercar returns to the Bumperpodcast after taking a week off for travel, reflecting on their recent interview episode with Mad from Homestar Runner. The episode quickly descends into controlled chaos as Aloysious J. Pig, Doodle Poodle, and Rufus T. Rufus (as Parrot Orange Beard the pirate) interrupt with their own agendas. Pig wants to talk about rain, Robot malfunctions and talks to himself, and a dog appears causing allergic concerns. What starts as Natty's attempt at a structured comeback episode transforms into a hilarious disaster that has the characters wondering if this might be the worst Bumperpodcast ever. It's a perfectly imperfect example of the show's improvisational comedy style.
“you've been gone a week and this is what you come back with”
— Aloysious J. Pig
“listen if you guys are gonna come on the show and interrupt which is fun because i do like it when i have more people on you gotta bring something to the”
— Natty Bumpercar
“is this the worst bumper podcast ever oh no we started from the top and now we're all the way down here in a well”

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.
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.
“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.”
— Natty Bumpercar

Natty Bumpercar: hey everybody it's me not a bumper car hey how's it going what's going on fireplug i was moving some boxes around and i found this thing here and i wanted to give it to you it looked like it was something important that's the tape of the mysteriously lost episode yeah that's the greatest thing ever you found it right that's so i have no idea what you're talking about well we had lost an episode last week we were talking about it and from what you just handed me something amazing has just happened we might have actually wrapped up a uh a storyline that we just started last week which is not something that we do here at the bumper podcast usually things drag on for months at a time and then are just dropped and forgotten yeah like to the point where you're just like i don't even care if they bring up a new storyline because they're just gonna forget about it because the show they get distracted easily okay i understand you don't care you don't you don't care okay it's not my job my job is to pick things up okay all right what just happened there i'm not very good at my job come on i pick things up all right and i put things down good like that all right okay so okay you got i got i know what you're doing i put them down down good job okay well that's great okay you're gonna go you should have a good day you have a good day too thank you so much for finding me okay see you later uh okay okay you're still here okay okay okay okay
Doodle Poodle: okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay
Natty Bumpercar: okay I should have hit him up. We could have gone meatballing. Meatballing. You know, down at the spot where we get the meatballs. Anyway, that's besides the point. What I'm excited about is you found the mystery episode, and we're all here. So maybe you think we can listen to it all? Yes, I think that's the best idea ever. Okay, I'm going to get it. That was a weird sign-off you did. That would all be all right with me. Yeah, I just had to get it all loaded up and set into the machine here, and then we can listen to it, and we can see what the mystery episode was that we lost, and we can figure out exactly what we were missing out on. So, all right, I'm just going to hold on a second while I just got to put it in there. Okay, and I got to put this over here, load up this thing. All right, all right, and play.
Doodle Poodle: Oh, oh, turn it off, turn it off, turn it off.
Natty Bumpercar: My pig ears can't take whatever the heck that was. Oh, that was the worst thing I ever heard in my life. Do we record that? Is that an actual episode? Oh, that's what we were doing that day? I don't remember doing, like, soundscape experiments or nothing like that. Oh, oh, that actually gave me a furball. And I'm a pig. Pigs ain't. I've got furballs. Who authorized that? Oh. I have no idea. Better lost than never listened to, I would say. What are we going to put that on? That made me sneeze. What was that? 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?
Robot: It wasn't me doing anything. It wasn't me. I had nothing to do with it. I, you know, 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. So cool. So cool. What's he doing? I make dogs drool. Jimmy, that's not even true. Little bigot.
Doodle Poodle: I make dogs drool. You deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. It's just not true. You should have made a bigger dog. You just, I should have made a bigger robot. And you, you made a bad episode. Later, man. It was probably you who made it. You broke it. The whole Bumper Podcast and everybody knows it.
Natty Bumpercar: Doodle Poodle, you did it. Didn't you?
Doodle Poodle: Yeah.
Aloysious J. Pig: Poodle Poodle, you, did it. Didn't you? Yeah. Poodle. Poodle. You did it. Didn't you? Yeah. Poodle. Poodle. You did it. Didn't you? Yeah. Poodle. He did it. Poodle.

It’s April Fool’s Day – and Bumpercar realizes that the only person that he really tricked was himself. Is this the best day of the year or the worst day of the year? Who cares?!
Do you like muffins or cupcakes? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.
In this April Fool's Day episode, Natty Bumpercar shares his anxiety-filled experience planning an elaborate prank that he ultimately couldn't go through with. After spending a week preparing an April Fool's joke and scheduling it to post automatically, Natty wakes up at 1 AM in a panic and spends 40 minutes frantically undoing everything. He reflects on pranking his kids with breakfast muffins disguised as cupcakes and dresses, which doesn't go over well. The episode explores why April Fool's Day might be the worst holiday ever, though Natty does find joy in putting googly eyes on items in his refrigerator, inspired by Pee-wee Herman.
“I apologize because I pranked myself basically. Hey bubba got you really did a good joke there who'd you trick me that's who”
— Natty Bumpercar
“I put googly eyes on the stuff in the fridge because Peewee Herman told me to and now every day when I open my fridge my ketchup is staring at me which is great”
— Natty Bumpercar
“I don't want this to turn into another cupcake muffin situation like I dealt with this morning you're better than that I'm better than that let's live for April 2nd”
