    Bumperpodcast 46 – Blue skies and big trucks

    Blue skies and big trucks!
    We bolt out of headquarters to go and experience nature . . . it’s just so darn natural!
    Enjoy listening to me huff and sniffle as I walk – enjoy Socks rolling on the ground and birds tweeting in the trees.
    It’s the best that we can do.
    It’s the best that we can possibly do.
    Enjoy it!

    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 46, host Natty Bumpercar takes listeners on an outdoor adventure with his companion Irving Brown Socks. Originally planning to record inside headquarters, Natty is so captivated by the perfect weather—blue skies, green grass, and chirping birds—that he decides to record while walking instead. The episode captures the spontaneous and improvisational nature of the show as Natty navigates passing trucks, observes a cloud, and shares his thoughts on sidewalk sprinklers. Despite the beautiful day providing plenty of distractions, Natty humorously acknowledges that he got sidetracked and didn't really say much of substance, promising to flip-flop back home and try again.

    Bumperpodcast 44 – Stub

    I split my toe – I stubbed my toe – I mangled and bashed and beat up my toe. Socks just stood by and watched . . . I had to hobble around a bit – and the worst part was the cleaning of the wound.

    Booooooo cleaning – in all of it’s sundry forms.

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar shares a painful and humorous tale of stubbing his toe during an evening walk with his dog Socks. What starts as a simple mishap quickly escalates when Natty discovers blood everywhere after his big toe takes on the sidewalk in a brutal TKO. He vividly describes the shock of pain, the confusion of his dog, and the awkward four-block journey home hobbling on his left heel. The episode captures Natty's signature storytelling style as he recounts the worst part of all: cleaning the wound at home only to discover he's out of band-aids.

    Memorable Quotes

    About This Episode

    In this mobile episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar and executive producer dog Urban Brown Socks take the show on the road after being kicked out of headquarters for being too rowdy. Walking through puddles and discussing conspiracy theories about "them" watching from above, Natty accidentally records 40 minutes of audio during their walk around the block. The episode features Natty's musings about creating a year's worth of content from one walk, puddle-averse dogs, and the importance of their friendship with listeners. It's a casual, experimental episode that showcases the improvisational and slightly chaotic nature of the Bumperpodcast.
