    About This Episode

    In episode 89 of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar shuffles through a massive stack of papers prepared by his new office intern, Robot. The papers contain listener emails and letters covered in confusing highlighter marks and annotations. Natty attempts to read feedback from the Bumper Podcast audience, starting with a harsh note demanding he "make it shorter," which hurts his feelings despite the show only being three minutes long. The episode humorously explores Natty's relationship with his overeager robotic assistant and his attempts to connect with listeners, ending with a bizarre email consisting only of the word "hippos" repeated.

    Memorable Quotes

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Make it shorter? Three minutes not that long, not that big of a commitment, and from what i've heard we bring the funny. Make it shorter really kind of hurts my feelings.”

    Bumperpodcast 83 – Best Friend

    The Bumperpodcast gets taken over by someone claiming to be Natty’s best friend … Of course Robot has a word or two to say about that.

    I’m as confused as you are trying to figure out what town – or – city-town – or – township that this new guy is even from … You should probably listen to the Bumperpodcast to make some sense of it all!

    Unknown: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing in here?

    Robot: You're not supposed to be in here. You're breathing on the microphone. You're not even saying anything. How did you get in here? Do you have a key? Do you? No. Do you have a key? I don't have. Do you get in here? No. I don't think you do. I don't think you do at all. I don't think you should be in here all day.

    Doodle Poodle: Listen here, robot. I don't know. I was told I got a memo. I got a, uh, voice man gave me a, I got a letter. No. Didn't it say? Hey, doodle-poo, do you want to come and do a radio? Do you want to come and talk on, do you want to do a show on this radio? And I said, well, of course we do, because I love to talk to everybody. Everybody loves when I talk to people.

    Robot: Sometimes.

    Doodle Poodle: No.

    Robot: No. Are you done? Are you quite finished? Because I'm the one who sends the letters around here. The memo. Because I think you must have called it. And I only send memos out to people who are qualified to talk on the microphone. Myself, for instance. Oftentimes, Maddie Bumpercar will let me.

    Natty Bumpercar: Hey, everybody. What? Oh, boy. Uh-oh, indeed. I see two people who were not supposed to be in the room. The lab. In the lab. In the lab room where we fix up and make up and break up and take up the bumper podcast. That's nice rhyme.

    Doodle Poodle: I thought I was supposed to. I don't. I don't want to. It doesn't matter. I got a memo. A memo? I don't know. I got it in my mailbox, and I thought I was supposed to come in and talk to everybody. And I got all excited. Calm down. And I wrote down words. Okay. And I made some doodles for everyone to see, too. Okay. No one can see.

    Robot: Oh, jeez. He's doing it again. He's doing it again. He's breathing on the microphone, and I told him not to breathe on the microphone. I don't think he should even be in headquarters. We should buy him. We should. I don't know. Is there a farm? Is there a farm somewhere where we can put him? No, there's not a farm. I don't think he should be. That's what I'm saying. What do you think? What do you think? I know.

    Doodle Poodle: I like farms. Nope. I kind of like farms. Kind of.

    Natty Bumpercar: Nobody's going to a farm. And, Robot, you have to stop fighting with everyone.
