First off, Socks makes a serious mess – and is in line to lose his job. Then we talk about Periscope and hitting the 100th episode and piles of hearts and Pig earning his keep.
I don’t wear socks – because I’m notinto cruelty to sock animals … So – I constantly run the risk of catching Draftsmans Disease. You have been warned.
I think that we sing a New Year’s song as well – maybe about Pig and Robot? I’m not entirely sure. Please tell us what the song was all about by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com – and then we’ll all be on the same page.
In this New Year's Eve episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar kicks off 2024 with a rambling monologue about expired potatoes, restaurant policies regarding Aloysious J. Pig, and an impassioned rant against wearing socks. Natty introduces listeners to "draftsman's disease," a fictitious ailment caught from going sockless in drafty conditions. The episode features Natty's signature stream-of-consciousness comedy as he declares his anti-sock stance, arguing that wearing socks breaks up sock families. This short New Year's special showcases the absurdist humor that Bumperpodcast fans have come to love, ending with both a warning and a holiday greeting.

In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar introduces a brand new intern at Bumperpodcast headquarters. The episode follows their first day together, which involves sending out an email campaign that took two and a half hours to complete and was opened by exactly eight people. The intern also photographed items in the basement, added four people to the mailing list, and addressed letters for sticker requests. Much of the episode centers on the challenge of coming up with the perfect nickname for the intern, with options including "Buffy" (her existing nickname from friends) and Natty's suggestion of "Bamboo." The casual, improvisational conversation captures the behind-the-scenes reality of running a podcast.
