Hi everybody. It’s me Natty Bumpercar. And well, I guess it’s a new season. Well, I guess it’s a new year. New Me. I don’t know. I Rufus T. Rufus 0:16 think it should be an entirely new podcast given the fact Hi everyone. This is me. Rufus. T. Rufus. Given the fact that you’ve been disappeared for quite some time. Do you have any kind of explanations for the audience? You can’t just leave them hanging like Producer 0:32 everyone needs me producer and not that you don’t have to actually say anything. You’re just you are a very busy man. And not everyone knows. You’re doing lots of things and sometimes you get bogged down which is funny coming from a frog bug go good frog only log in a bog it’s funny to me. It’s a frog joke. Anyway. You don’t have to tell Rufus anything. Okay, Aloysius J. Pig 0:54 Natty, I have you want to see me? I always just J pig heart coming in here. Hot. I’m coming in here hot. And I am bothered by this whole situation. Because here’s the thing. I think you don’t need it. I give an explanation. Everybody Bumpercar Because the last time you put out an episode was a the I don’t know. I don’t even I honestly, I don’t even know my calendar doesn’t go far that far back. Okay. So I appreciate when I think everybody would appreciate it as you maybe just a little bit of transparency. That’s, you know, kind of one of those words these days. Oh, again, good, a little bit of transparency and let us know what’s going on. Which is Natty Bumpercar 1:32 fine. Yeah, well, full transparency. I just went through 15 minutes with my computer with a giant spinning rainbow ball that was saying to me, Hey, we just everything just got lost, but evidently it didn’t. So we’re back. And that makes me happy. That’s my transparency for you for right now. Santa 1:52 Now Natty, as your lawyer, I’m going to come out and tell you that that’s not the kind of transparency that we are talking about. That’s more like a translucency that’s more like a or pigness or something like that what the people are looking for. They’re looking for a clear window in which they can look through and see what you’re talking about. Okay, and I don’t feel like that’s quite enough for you understand? Natty Bumpercar 2:21 Yeah. Okay, cool. What? What is happening right now? Is that do we? Do we get a telephone? I’ve always wanted to be a call in show. Somebody, answer quick. Aloysius J. Pig 2:38 Ha, ha allow this bump. I don’t have high who who’s? Natty Bumpercar 2:45 It’s turkey in Turkey. Oh. Good point. Okay, thanks, Turkey. Wow, that was great. But thing I think maybe you hung up on him a little bit too fast. Like he was still talking or clicking are gobbling. I don’t know. What is doesn’t i Does anyone know Turkey talk? What is the gobble so God like you still got to be fair. Aloysius J. Pig 3:10 I was caught unawares. I was caught off guard. I didn’t know that I was gonna be unfound duty. I kind of feel like maybe that’s producers kind of kind of jam. And I I did I kind of I kind of freaked out a little bit and I just hung up. I didn’t I didn’t. Natty Bumpercar 3:28 Another one. Oh, producer get this good. This one producer. Producer 3:36 Oh, hello, this is the show’s producer. We’re not going to the Natty Bumpercar bumper podcast site. today. Her name who’s calling? Rufus T. Rufus 3:49 Well, I’m quite sure that you understand who’s calling. I know you’re having a call caller ID are Natty Bumpercar 3:58 we Hi, Santa Claus. We don’t have any kind of caller ID but because this is our first time having a telephone on the show. But I recognize your voice. And it’s super cool that you’re calling in and I’m so happy to hear from you. And I Rufus T. Rufus 4:09 don’t think you’ll think so in a second. Oh, yes. You see not to you didn’t record your podcast for the last bit of the year. And that is upset a lot of people. For instance, I believe Turkey called earlier. You never had him on the show last year. I am calling you again. Because you did not have me on the show. This is a traditional thing that we do every single year where Thanksgiving comes around Turkey comes on the show. December comes around and then I’m on the show as well. Do you have any thing to say not to well now as Natty’s Santa 4:54 Ruffus? Oh yeah, I’m not asking you to stand in front of Mr. Bumpercar. Oh, I’m just asking for a little bit of transparency is Natty Bumpercar 5:05 fine. Okay, here’s what happened last year. This is late November and December. In late November, I was out in the bumper barn and I was trying to get some Christmas decorations down off of the loft loft is about 10 feet up in the air, and I was getting a giant storage crate full of decorations down. And I was using the ladder kind of to guide the big box down. And then the ladder shifted, and then the box fell and it whacked me in the head. Aloysius J. Pig 5:41 This is all true. I was there. I witnessed the whole thing. It was it was quite the wallop that he taught. Santa 5:47 I understand. Keep talking, please. Yeah, Natty Bumpercar 5:49 absolutely. So it hit me and I kind of went down on one knee. And I don’t think I passed out. But people were asking that but Oliver was out here with me. And he was like, are you okay? And I was like, ah, yeah, I was like, Is there any, any blood? And he looked, and he’s like, no blood. And I was like, Ah, all right. And then I proceeded to get down for more giant boxes, because I’m silly that way. Now. I put my hand on the back of my head. And when I pulled it back blood, there was a lot of blood. Sorry, I don’t want to freak you out. But it was true. This this actually happened. And Oliver said, I think we should go find mommy. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s a good idea. Good. Good call. Sweet Child. And so I stumbled back into the house. Dear, I think I have a concussion. What should I What should I do? And it was hilarious, because I said, Can you look at my eyes, I need to see if my eyes are dilated? I Producer 6:56 don’t understand what exactly died or die. You die. You later. What is What are you talking? What does that mean? I don’t I’m not a medical professional. I’m there. So fraud, who is good at producing a bandit. Natty Bumpercar 7:08 Very good at it. Yes. So dilated, it just basically means so there’s in the center of your eye, there’s something called a pupil. It’s like the little circle black part. And that’s actually how the light gets into your eyes. And that’s the whole thing. But sometimes, if they’re really big or really small, then you can kind of see that there’s stuff going on with them. And she said, and so and when you have a concussion, that’s one of the things that they check. They’re like, let’s look at your eyes and see if your pupils are dilated. And so she looked at my eyes and she said, I don’t know, I think that one is bigger than that one talking about my eyes. And I was and she’s like, but I don’t know if that’s just because of where you are in relation to the the light in the room. And, like, I don’t think that’s how it works. But you know, and then I said, I’m gonna, I’m gonna go take a shower. So I did that I went, I took a shower. And definitely was feeling pretty pretty off. Now. Rufus T. Rufus 8:10 I’m feeling pretty off. It’s just something that is it. Can we sue this box? I mean, I don’t want to be litigious this early in the new year, but I am the lawyer. So I just think I could probably look into it. And there’s a there’s a box have any kind of assets that we can go and Aloysius J. Pig 8:27 settle down roof is I keep telling story bumper, Natty Bumpercar 8:29 okay. So my whole life, I’ve been told, if you have a concussion, don’t go to sleep. But then I went on the internet and they said, Hey, you can go to sleep. And I was like, okay, and I fully am aware and know that I could have gotten any answer that I wanted. And I was very tired. It was like at 930 at night, and I went to sleep. And I slept all day. The next day. It was a Saturday. And I really I felt like I couldn’t move. I was just on the couch. And Saturday night, a friend of mine, Dave from Cedar beans coffee joint where I host the Thursday open mic, the caffeinated open mic. It was their four year anniversary, and I was I got up and I was like I am gonna go to this thing. And my wife was like, I don’t want you to go to that thing. And I was like, I have to go to this thing. And she’s like, again, I would rather you not go to the thing. So I went to the thing. And I took all of her with me. And I got there and within like a minute and a half all the noise and the people in the lights. I was like this was a mistake. I’ve made a terrible mistake. And I found a mom like a friend of Oliver’s mom and I said can I give him to you? And they’re like, yeah, what are you doing? I was like, I wanted to go to the emergency room. And so I did that. And they ran me through all kinds of tests and they were like, Yeah, you you have got a concussion and I was like I yeah, I know, I know. And that’s really all they did. They were like, alright, you just got to take it easy for might take a couple of weeks and good luck to you. Now I was like, Ah, all right. And so so that was the that was in November. That was the week before Thanksgiving. And then Thanksgiving happened. And we had all kinds of people at our house and I overextended myself. And so I made it worse, because that’s what I tend to do. So, Santa, if you could tell Turkey that that’s why he wasn’t on the podcast in November, Santa 10:33 all of a sudden, Santa I’m being your messenger. That’s fine. Well, I’m terribly sorry about your head. And I hope that you’re doing things to reconcile that situation and that you’re going to take better care of yourself and live here. Natty Bumpercar 10:48 I absolutely will. I promise steps have been taken. I got smaller containers. So I don’t have these monstrous containers to get down. And yes, I’m definitely going to try. It’s funny, every single doctor that I ever talked to, they’re like, are you taking care of yourself? And I’m like, no. So much, not so much. It’s not really what I do. I don’t take care of myself a lot. And they were like, You should probably start. And I’m like, okay, like I do it. But grudgingly I don’t know if you if you do that when you go to the doctor, but I’m like, fine. I’ll take care of myself. Blah, blah, you know? Santa 11:25 Yes. And that’s yeah, I do appreciate that. Very much. I do. I tend to overextend myself as well, especially at towards the end of the year where there’s a lot going on and I have to go around all the places and this elves in the building things and the rain do you have to take care of them and so I understand what about Pat what happened in December because I also was not on the podcast. Producer 11:53 All right, actually. Sorry to interrupt. Natty and Mr. Claus. i This is producer. We only have 30 seconds to go on the show. So maybe we can you can test it. Can you I know you’re busy man. You made it back next week. Oh man, figure it out. Are Rufus T. Rufus 12:10 you seriously asking sam I’m so cool back on the show. I’m Natty Bumpercar 12:14 terribly sorry Santa, but we I don’t know what to do I Aloysius J. Pig 12:17 and scene Natty Bumpercar 12:20 did you just hang up on Santa Claus. Aloysius J.

Let’s talk about being a coach and the expectations of being a coach. Hi, everybody, it’s me Natty Bumpercar. The bumper podcast. And I have been honored to I was the coach of my kids basketball team. And I had never played basketball. So that one was a little bit challenging. But I know enough about basketball that I could kind of, you know, wing it a little bit. But then the opportunity came up to coach his soccer team. And I played soccer, most of my life from growing up up until I think, junior year of high school or so. And loved it, loved it to pieces. And so when I found out they were looking for soccer coaches, I was like, Yeah, sign me up, you know. And it’s funny, because, you know, the organization, I wasn’t given any information, it was just like, sure your coach, show up. And I was like, okay, I can do that. And so I show I showed up the first day, and I got my team. There, the great team, great ghosts, was what is when I call them, I made a little I was like, You guys are the great ghosts. And they were like, okay, and then one kid was like, I want to be a great goose. And I was like, fine, I don’t, whatever, that’s great. And I had to learn all of their names, I made him stand in a line. And I because I think it’s important, right? That these are these are you want them to feel, you know, like, they’re part of the team, like they belong, like they have their own identity. And so they went through their names. And and whenever anyone would say their name, I would say, All right, everybody say hello to Tom, there’s no tom, but I’m not gonna give you the kids names, because that would be untoward. But you know, and so then they would all introduce themselves. And then we kind of found out, you know, who was in third grade? Who’s in fourth grade? And do you go to this school? Do you go to that school, just to kind of, you know, establish who everyone was, and try to build a tiny report. And the time that I had. Now, the first week was was was bananas, because we had two practices and three games within the span of seven days. So it was like, Hey, you’re not playing soccer. And then all of a sudden, it was like, hey, guess what, you’re doing soccer every single day of your life. And it was hard because the kids were getting very frustrated and tired. You know, because they’re running around, they’re playing hard. And, and when it’s almost every day, there’s just no break. So they don’t get a chance to, to kind of come up, come back, relax, whatever. But the thing is, is we’ve, it’s great. It’s great fun. And I the reason I don’t know if you can hear it in my voice, but it’s a little bit raspy is because I basically scream, and from the time the game has started, maybe even a little bit before until the game has ended. And it’s not because I’m angry. It’s I am out there. And I, I really take a lot on like, I feel a real responsibility to, to get these kids to learn and to motivate them and to try to get them into spots where they can best, you know, have the chance for success. And it’s difficult. I’m not I’m not gonna lie, like, it’s I last night, I was like, Oh, this is like herding kittens, because it’s always a fun phrase. I’ve always enjoyed that phrase, herding kittens. And I always like when someone’s like, Why are you hurting kittens? And I’m like, no, no one’s hurting kittens. I’m hurting them hurting hurting them. What do you mean by that? You know, like, trying to get big herd of kittens through the Valley into the into the pasture, the gated pasture. So they can they can I don’t know play with butterflies or whatever. Ah, so are the kittens being hurt then? Oh, no. We’re gonna play with butterflies relax. But, you know, because I’ll be on the sideline. And I’m like, you know, I have to give them all their position positions. Oh, I have a weird thing that just happened. I give them all their positions. You know, you’re gonna be my striker, you’re gonna be my, my stopper which is what I call the, the the middle defense person. You’re my left fullback, you’re my rightful way which which which way is which way is left coach, this is well this is this is your left and and so you’re just gonna go back there to the where I’m pointing where I go coach, again, I want you to go back to that corner right where I’m pointing. Why aren’t you going? Hey, could you please just go? Yes, no you Why are you coming off the field? Why why failed, I need you to go back to your spot coats my shoes untied get over here, let’s tie your shoe real quick like this is it’s a real constant flow of, of me trying to get them to stay focused on the game, get into their spots and and do what they’re supposed to do, but also to try to learn and have fun. So it’s a real, real balancing act that I’m going through. And it’s also difficult because, you know, there’s there’s some kids that are more advanced, and they kind of want to take over the game. But this is a recreation league. And so this is a developmental league. And so I’m constantly, I’m like, hey, you know, let that kid take the kick, or let that kid take the throw in? Because, you know, you’re Yes, you are really good at it. But I need other I need everybody to learn how to be good at it because we’re a team. And, you know, a lot. So a couple of games ago, we were playing it was actually on a on a on a baseball field. And so you know, part of it is, is dirt like that baseball field, dirt, whatever that stuff is. And then grass. And I’m looking down at one end of the field, we’re we’re our we have our offense as the ball, and they’re getting it, they’re gonna go oh, wait, no, the ball is coming back our way. So I have to turn. And I have to get my defense ready. And so I was like Dave, and then I stopped because one of the kids was grabbing scoops of sand in his hand and dumping it into the making like a little funnel with his other hand, and then trying to catch it. The dirt as it was coming through the funnel on the bottom. And he was doing this back and forth. And I was like, like podcasts stand up. And then I looked at the other side of the field and there was a kid picking grass off in us. And so there’s there’s a lot of me of me yelling. And the fun thing is, is when I’m yelling, what are you doing, please stand up. Here comes the ball. It usually doesn’t register until I’ve I’ve yelled the person’s name four or 567 times. And the difficult thing with that is that there are kids who are very competitive and who take the games very seriously a lot more seriously. Than, you know, the the grass pickers or there’s we have kids who dance on the field, which is wonderful. But you know, maybe not the exact right time. And the kids who are taking a lot more seriously. You know, they’ll start yelling at their teammates. And I’m like, no, no, no, no. So then I have to pull them off. And I’m like, Listen, I’m the coach. That’s my job. I’ll do the yelling. You I need you to focus on playing the game. It’s it’s really it’s it’s a lot I we had a game recently. And we didn’t have enough for substitutions, we only had eight people. And so we have a we have our striker, and then our three mids and then our three, defense and then our goalie right so everybody that I had was on the field playing and the ball was again, the offense had the ball there, they’re making a move on the other side of the field. They’re going to oh wait, here comes the ball is coming back quick defense. And so this time, it wasn’t people picking grass and scooping dirt. My goalie was just sitting in the goal. Like he was just and so I yelled his name. I was like saying what a stand up state. And I kept yelling his name. And for like 15 seconds I’m screaming his name and um, and he finally looks over he goes my shoes untied. And I was like, ah carried by you’re, like I told I said you’re my goalie. The ball is right, come on. And I’m just like screaming like this child, too. You know, because when I listen, I’m a coach. These are kids. They’re learning. They’re far away from me. So I have to yell. But I think it’s what’s important is the context and how I’m yelling. I’m not saying like, you’re a bad person, because you’re not doing what I’m asking. I’m just saying like, hey, I need you to lie side. Right. And, you know, I’ve really noticed as the season has gone on that, it seems to motivate them. Now this John, I was like I said, I don’t care about your shows. You’re my goalie. I care about my goal, right? I because I really wanted to impress upon him how much I was worried about the ball going in the in the goal. And so then I had to run around after the ball was back down the other side of the field. And I went, I was like, Hey, Are your shoes, okay? Everything, okay? He’s like, Yeah, and I was like, Hey, I wasn’t yelling at you. I just wanted you to stand up. Because you’re my, you’re my goalie. You’re my goalie, you know? And he was like, Yeah, I know, Coach. I know. I was like, you’re good, right? He’s like, Yeah, I’m good. I’m good. I was like, okay, cool. Cool. Cool. And then, later in the game, we had a different goalie. And he made a nice save, he stopped the ball from going into the net. Phenomenal. i Yeah, good save. And I say I’m clapping, you know. And then he’s got the ball in his hand. And then he just starts throwing it up in the air. Like, he was so happy that he ended, he was like, I’m gonna just throw this ball up in the air. And I was like, Stop throwing shot, there was a ball. Like, you can’t just he’s like just tossing with himself, like, Hey, I’m, I’m throwing the ball here. And after the game was when I finally got a chance to talk to him, I was like, Hey, you did a great job and go, but please don’t ever, like throw the ball up in the air like that again. And he was like, why? And I was like, well, think of it this way. It’s raining out. It’s wet. Just imagine I said, and who knows, it might never happen. But maybe if it does, just imagine that you’re throwing the ball, and it bounces off your hand, it slips, whatever happens. And it rolls into the goal, what would happen? He’s like, Oh, they would they would get a goal. And I was like, yeah, and how would that make you feel? And he’s like, terrible. And I was like, yes. I’m trying to avoid you feeling terrible, because I want everyone to be happy all the time. Because that’s, you know, we’re always gonna have fun. Sometimes we win. Sometimes we lose. But I feel like it’s my job as a as a coach, to make it as enjoyable as possible so that if these kids want to move on with this, that they’ll do it.

Natty Bumpercar 2:29 1234 Holy, that was such a great way to kick the summer doldrums out. Thank you, ah, normally, every year that I’ve been doing this, which is over a decade now, August into September is brutal. And we only record like, a half an episode, if even that, and this year, you know, I think we did miss a couple of weeks because we were at the beach and whatever. But like, it’s I think, you know, we made up for it with this amazing song. I don’t, I don’t know if that’s like, just the podcast, or just everything, you know, like, you grow up, and you have your seasons, and you have your summer, which comes around and it’s ingrained on us as kids that summer is this magical time and you’re not in school, and you get to go and have all these adventures and you’re going on vacation and you’re hanging out with your friends, and you’re in the pool. And then the summer comes to a close, the summer comes to an end and you get sad. And things start to slow down and you kind of start to get a little nostalgic, and you start to look back on the things you did this summer. And, and maybe the things you missed out on and the things you used to do during the summer. And you know the things that you you miss from from from the past. And then maybe you get a little bubble of nerves that you’re going to be going back to school. And and you don’t know who’s going to be in your class and who’s who’s who’s going to be your teacher? And What room are you going to be in and what are you going to wear and what are you going to learn and what if you can’t learn it and then it becomes like this big well of anxiety and, and nerves. And it’s so different from the summer where everything is is easy, and fun and light knits you’re going back to structure. And some people do pretty well with structure. I sometimes do. But a lot of the times I don’t my brain just doesn’t seem to be able to make sense of structure, mostly because it’s a structure that someone else has invented for their minds. Does that make sense? The people who make structure, for the most part, are making structure that makes sense to them. And a lot of the times that structure makes sense for a lot of other people, but then there’s a lot of other other people that it doesn’t make sense for. And so, if you’re on the outside of the structure that’s been created, then you’re gonna be confused, and maybe even bemused. And several other used uses, probably, and, you know, for those other other people, then you have to find your way. And sometimes society isn’t super awesome at making roads or paths or ways for the other other people to pick up or figure out how to interact or to deal or to live within or just to be in in the structure. And unless you have on understanding helpful stewards to help you through all of that, then it becomes very difficult. And you spend a lot of time seemingly fighting against the structure. That’s what people sometimes think they go, Oh, why is this person fighting against the structure? Why can’t they just be normal? Oh, why can’t they just be part of the, of what everyone else is doing getting step getting in line? Is they don’t understand that. to that person, that line doesn’t make sense. to that person. What you have written up there on the board? Doesn’t make sense. I mean, that person is looking at it, that person is trying to make sense of it. But it just doesn’t work. It’s not seeming to make any sense to, to to their brain. And by they I am I mean, me, but a lot of other people too. And that’s okay. Man, my opinion. Everyone is everyone, everyone’s individual, right? Everyone comes from things from different directions. Everyone has different experiences in their life. Everyone has different perspectives. And that’s what makes the world awesome. If everyone saw things in the exact same way, and everyone did things in the exact same way, well, then where were the fun in that be? Going to mix it up a little bit every every so often. But here’s the thing. Sometimes when you mix it up, the people who are used to the structure who liked the structure, get upset. They’re like, hey, stop rocking the boat. Hey, stop doing what you’re doing. Because what you’re doing is antithetical to what I’m doing near like, I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to be antithetical. I was just doing what I thought was the right thing. What I thought was what I was supposed to do. Well, it’s not. Do you ever get that to ever feel like you’re doing what you think is supposed to be done? What you think is supposed to be right. And then out of nowhere, you get walloped. ballyhooed knocked about, hey, what are you doing? And then you’re like, Oh, no. And then you kind of stopped and you’re like, oh, maybe I don’t know what I’m doing. Maybe I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing. What do I do? What do I do? And then you hear the phrase you like a deer caught in the headlights. All the other days. I heard somebody say, oh, it’s like a squirrel caught in the headlights. And I was like the squirrels also get going down lights. And I was like, why did we settle on deer? Like, are there a lot of animals that get stuck in headlights? If I were to be honest, I’ve seen people humans that are on the road that get you stuck in the headlights. I really think a lot of animals if there’s a vehicle coming towards them, and there’s headlights that are very bright and that are flashing at them. I think that the people are going to get caught in those headlights is all I’m saying. All I’m saying I don’t know why we had to put it on the deer. They did. I mean, you know, I’m not gonna and maybe there’s some deer who are fine with lights. You know, I’m not I’m not going to just put all deer into one bucket has always been a funny thing. Going back to the conversation we’re having before buckets pigeonhole. People love to put people in buckets because buckets makes sense. Oh, you’re this type of person. Oh, you’re that kind of person. Oh, you go over there. That’s what you fit into that bucket. But sometimes, and most times, I would say, people are made up of several buckets. You know, and otherwise, life wouldn’t be very fulfilling, I wouldn’t think I don’t know. And sometimes the people with the buckets go, Whoa, you’re I said, you’re in that bucket. Why? What are you doing over here in these other buckets? And you’re like, I don’t know. I like to be in several buckets at once. And they go, Oh, no, my friend. No. Go get in your bucket. You know, and then sometimes, depending, you’ll go and you’ll get in that bucket for a while. You realize, ah, this bucket isn’t as fulfilling as I want it to be this book is it’s just not what I want. And then, you know, as you grow and you have more experiences, then you start finding your ways into other buckets, and exploring different buckets. And then you kind of get to do Do you I guess, as people say, I don’t know. Aloysius J. Pig 11:29 Yeah, yes, Natty Bumpercar have in the jam of the summer the biggest Song of the Year. And then he turns that and he goes into some medical metaphysical talk about buckets. They should call you natty bucket calm No, like Natty Bumpercar 11:49 I mean it’s funny but I don’t think I like natty bucket car but I don’t know you know, we’re having fun with the song and then I was just I just started thinking like I do sometimes my brain starts sometimes my brain starts thinking not all the time but sometimes Rufus T. Rufus 12:04 now I just check the URL for not at bucket con someone has already purchased that and actually a selling wonderful little buckets here so I think we can just move along from the bucket idea. I think that’s not gonna stand I think you know, it was a good idea pig, but I don’t think we’re gonna fly with that Aloysius J. Pig 12:20 one. Oh, well, well, at least we’re you know, we’re not going to have natty bucket QA, but at least we got that that hip hip jam from Ireland Natty Bumpercar 12:29 jam.

Can tears it’s me Natty Bumpercar. And this is the bumper podcast. And I am so excited after last week’s episode, or yesterday, whenever I don’t know when you’re hearing this, but the last episode, we were having some major audio issues. Evidently someone had moved the wires while we were on vacation. And we came back and started recording and producer was having a tough time. And he’s actually under the board right now kind of trying to make sure everything is set as it should be. But everything we’re seeing everything we’re hearing right now. It seems good. So yeah, we were on vacation, we went to a place called Cape Cod. I think I mentioned that. And it was we’ve been going there for 12 years. And it’s a very nice place and it’s a wonderful vacation. But this year leading up to vacation. You know how it works. Like you’re anticipating something, you’re excited for something. You’re have expectations like, Oh, we’re gonna go to the beach, it’s going to be relaxing, it’s going to be fun. There’s going to be family, there’s going to be sun, we’re going to get ice cream, all these things. We’re going to go in though in the water and boogie board. Which I kind of now want to know the etymology of boogie board, are you there’s no boat, there’s no dancing going on on these boards. Kind of boat. What are you gonna do? I’m gonna go out and Boogie in the waves okay with my board. Oh, it’s a boogie board. But this year, in the months Matson month leading up to our big trip, the news for force where it was dug great white sharks found in massive droves and numbers off the shores of Cape Cod. And I was like, oh, that’s, that’s that’s where we’re going. Okay, well, that’s kind of weird. That’s a little scary. But we’ve been going there for so long and we’ve you know, kind of done our research as it were and know that kind of where we are is generally not where they’re talking about there’s there’s another side where there are more sharks because they go there to visit their their seal friends. All their friends who are seals are on the other side. And the sharks typically like to go over and, and hang out with them. They’re like, hey, seals, do you guys want to play pickup ball and the seals are like or whatever the seals say? And then magic happens. So that I was moderately okay with that. Now, this year, there was a wrinkle thrown into the news reports, where there was actually something else in the waters something insidious, something evil, called a man o war, not even a man of war. No, no, this thing it actually has an apostrophe in its name. Like if you’re going down to Ocala hands to have a lovely drink, and maybe some sort of Unknown Speaker 3:20 have what kind of food shepherd’s pie There we go. So man o war, this me this creature doesn’t even have time to say of oh, man, Anwar. And it’s kind of like a jellyfish, but it’s evidently not a jellyfish. But it has these tentacles, that are said, can be up to 30 feet long. So if there’s a jellyfish type of organism in the water, that’s 30 feet away, I’m not going to see it, I’m not going to know it’s there. So I could be out, you know, galavanting in the waves, maybe doing some boogie boarding, whatever I do, and then all of a sudden, zap zap, zap zap, and, and then you’re in pain and then everything is is miserable. And so and the evidence like they it was they, I forget what the word they use, but it was like droves or large numbers of men or war. And then they showed the beach. They were like, they highlighted they pinpointed the beach where these creatures were and it was it was our it was like next to our beach. And and so and I don’t feel like you know, so if it was next to our beach. I don’t feel like you know, man, a war or the type of creatures that are like, You know what, we’re just going to go to beach a today and we’re going to stay there. We’re not going to go over to beach b We’re not going to I think they might drift. I don’t think that they’re going to Stay at one beach, you know beach see as wonderful lunch options, but I think we’re just gonna stay here today. No, they’re gonna they’re gonna be like, you know, we’re in the ocean, we’re gonna go wherever we want to go. And it’s fine because we’re man, no war. And that’s I feel like how they sound as they’re floating around with their third who needs 30 foot long tentacles? Like what are you doing with those? Can you imagine 30 foot long tentacles? It’s Friday night they the men of Oregon to get together and go out to some parties and oh, how long is it gonna take for them to get the tentacles done? You know to get to or they’re going to curl them or they’re going to I don’t know what what man award do with their with their tentacles, but it just seems like it seems unruly. You know, like you ever see at a at a wedding at A Royal Wedding type of thing. And there’s like a princess. And she’s got a wedding dress on. And sometimes behind a wedding dress it gets doesn’t have to be a wedding dress. It could be any dress, but they’ll have a thing called a train. And that’s that long thing of fabric that goes behind the dress. There’s a train behind you. Is that Is that what it’s like for the Manoir? There’s just a train of icky mean, spiky? I don’t think they’re spiky. They’re just gooey, right? I don’t know. So, but it brought back terror because a long time ago, I want to say like eight years ago, so my kid would have been how it was much younger, that’s all I know. But he was out in the water. And I don’t it wasn’t a man of war, it was actually jellyfish. And he got zip, zap, Zip Zap. And there’s nothing more terrifying to a child. Or I mean, you know, mostly child, but I think regular you’re just older people too. But to be in the water having the time of your life. It’s so freeing. There’s the sun, there’s seagulls, there’s all my cousins, I’m having a nice time. And then zap. And if you’re in pain, and the way that jellyfish I don’t know if you’ve been stung by them, but I hope you have not. But if you have not, I’m going to tell you about it. It they, their little tentacles wrap around. So he had lines around his legs with like red dots, like, you know, every inch or so is zap zap, zap, zap, zap, zap. And he I mean, I had to rush in to get the child. And then we got him out and we looked at it. And then you’re trying to figure out and says, Oh, what is it not not vinegar, it’s not Unknown Speaker 7:52 alcohol, it’s, I forget what it’s called Exactly. But you have to put stuff on there to ammonia, that’s what it was you have to put ammonia on there to to make the hurt go away basically. But we didn’t happen to have any ammonia handy. And so then we had to rush him over to the drugstore. And you know, it’s that fun thing where you run into the store and you’re holding the child over your head kind of like Simba was being held in Lion King and you’re just like how do we fix this because a child is screaming and crying and we’ve put ice packs on his legs and you know just done everything we can to try to make them feel better. And they actually sell like a jelly fish kits and you know like fix fix and fix them up quick fix them up kits. And you know whatever it was we put it on there and it did make it better but then the child is traumatized. You’re looking out of the ocean and you’re like that’s not the nice place that I thought it was. That’s not my happy place. There’s evil out there and then that evil wants to wrap its tentacles around me. And zap zap zap zap zap zap Zip Zap so you know that changes changes a lot of things Surreal Life Lesson Hey them with a water’s not all good. Don’t go see Jaws don’t do it. It’s about a it’s about a mean mean shark. Right you know they I’m surprised they haven’t done a jellyfish. A movie like that. Or maybe they have I don’t know. I guess it’d be kind of hard because, you know, JAWS it’s like oh yeah, there’s that shark I see him but with jellyfish you’re just like I don’t know if that’s the one that zip zap me because there’s a jellyfish they kind of look like blobs. blobs of jelly. Which is hard to be scared of. You know maybe maybe it’s not just like one jellyfish terrorizing down Hola. That’d be pretty amazing. Sir. We have that one with the one jellyfish is back and he’s after this one family. He’s got he’s got a bone to pick You know that jellyfish doesn’t have any bones. He’s made of jelly. Like that’s what the town meeting would be. So, you know, fast forward now we had that experience the trauma of the jellyfish and then we fast forward to now we have men Oh war man of war I feel like demand Anwar eight Lucky Charms I feel like they could I feel like they should. I feel like if I was a man of war, I would certainly eat some lucky charms. But so you know, the kids are going out and about into the water. And, you know, there were tears because I had to break the news like, hey, we can go in the water. But there’s this thing out there we got to watch out for. And it’s really hard to because you’re like, like, watch out for what blobs of jelly that are 30 feet away from you? Well, that’s does that’s not doable. So you know, it’s it’s a little bit precarious. That’s the kind of situation it is. It’s a precarious situation out in the water, with sharks and man a war. But what we did is we’re smart about it. If we saw a group of people out in the water, we’re like, Okay, that seems kind of safe. That’s our that’s our people fence. Right? I mean, I guess the man of war could have thrown their little scary things in through the people and gotten us but they did. So we had a wonderful vacation. And we’re thrilled to be back. And we’re thrilled to be here in the bumper barn. And we’re thrilled to be talking to you and we’re hoping that you are doing amazingly well. And that you are having the best days of your life. Not Days Day. Right. I hope you right now is the best. Like it’s gonna be days, whatever it is. Anyway, I am Natty Bumpercar. This is the bumper podcast. And, you know, go out there and do something nice for yourself. Do something nice for someone else. Even if it’s a man of war, even if you see a man of war coming down the street at you. You could give them a little hi how you doing? Little wave and avoid you know, if you if they wave back at you. Make sure to avoid the tentacles because you don’t want those don’t don’t High Five them. Don’t give them a handshake because that’s not going to end well for you. But, yeah, just you take care and I’ll talk to you soon. All right, I’m Natty Bumpercar.

    Let’s see what happens next. No one is ever really sure what happens until it actually happens. For instance, this morning I woke up which is normally something that I would completely expect to have happen. However, things were not as they normally seem. Things are not as they normally appear. Things were not as they normally should base

    Aloysius J. Pig 0:35
    about. I’m really diggin the new voice. But here’s the thing, I’m convinced. Hey, everybody, it’s me. Aloysius jpg, this is the bumper podcast. You might be listening on Montclair radio, what the heck? Radio Free Montclair, or you might be listening. You in your podcast, CATIA, suburban Essex magazine, were in it. What’s up? Okay. Anyway, Bubba. The voice is great. But I’m pretty sure you’re you’re only doing it that long? Because you’re afraid you’re gonna lose it.

    Natty Bumpercar 1:12
    I don’t I don’t know.

    God pig, why did you distract me? I don’t know. I’d love that. That was a fun character that I was doing a fun voice.

    And I don’t

    like I lost it. Now now

    Rufus T. Rufus 1:30
    that you understand that in order for you to put a proper copyright on to a voice. You can’t do that unless you get it on tape for more than a minute and a half. And I don’t I believe you all need about 27 seconds. So if you can’t figure out whatever that was, was and you can’t you’re not gonna be able to tell it’s not your voice.

    Natty Bumpercar 1:53
    Yes, fine. I understand. Well, okay, great, fine. So now now what’s going to happen is we’re going to go through the rest of this podcast, and I’m going to be freaking out that I can’t figure out how to do this voice. And then I’ll go back and I’ll listen to this podcast. It’s at 27 seconds, and see if I can figure it out. That’s what that’s what’s gonna happen right

    Producer 2:16
    now. It’s me, producer. And I was wondering, I could maybe go back to the time of you making these funny voice and we could maybe do some time something with it. And maybe you could I don’t know. Look, you got a little bit louder. That’s what we were hoping for. Good. We could maybe see if we could maybe extended Yamani Tammany seconds do you need exactly I don’t know. I

    Natty Bumpercar 2:48
    think Rufus said a minute and a half so that’s what how many there’s how many seconds are there in a minute, guys?

    Aloysius J. Pig 2:57
    I’m trying to I don’t know. I didn’t know it’s gonna be a quiz. I didn’t know there was going to be some sort of a math quiz. So we’re seconds and a minute how many is there some sort of device we could ask or something like that? How many seconds? I dang a minute.

    Spot Elliot 3:16
    Oh, no. Man. seconds there already in a minute. I heard somebody come on in and please to to be telling me.

    Natty Bumpercar 3:33
    That was that was spot Elliot. I haven’t seen I haven’t heard spot Elliot on this podcast. So log in spot. Elliot is a cat. He’s best friends with peanut Lu. And he has such a deep voice. I don’t I don’t know. Wow,

    Aloysius J. Pig 3:49
    did you sleep last night? Because, okay, first off, this podcast is very much off the rails as it tends to be. You’d never even said your name. You didn’t say well, I already took care of the the ID. But also, you know, your voices.

    Natty Bumpercar 4:06
    I don’t know. There’s a lot of strange things happening is all I’m saying. No, I know. I know. I hear that you have a funny echo going on with. So we went on vacation and we came back and the studio was all broken down like taken apart. And now everything just sounds kind of weird. And it feels kind of strange. And producer. I don’t know if you set everything up the way it was supposed to be set up.

    Producer 4:33
    Never be please. You know, don’t don’t be throwing your Don’t be pointing your flippers at me. You know, I know I’m the producer. But I didn’t break everything down. I don’t know why we even took it apart because the studios usually just always here. So whoever came in and did all the wires and move the microbiome, you know, those are the stuff the Knott’s Berry Yeah, Ryan we should talk to I don’t but I don’t know who it was because I don’t handle stuff like that.

    Natty Bumpercar 5:00
    No yeah I understand I’m just looking at everything I Hey everyone I hope you’re this is I don’t know if this is moderately interesting or just terrible for you but I apologize that we’re you know, we’re gonna do it live we’re gonna do it live so there’s this is where the wire goes into there and that wire goes up there and the wire goes all the way over there and those are that’s connected and that that’s turned on there and then that goes from there to that you know i Everything seems like it’s it’s it’s properly set up but I don’t know this there I’m getting weird echoes I’m getting strange voices from nowhere my

    Spot Elliot 5:43
    Nomi for the cartoon called super special where I was with my friend Lou and we were in a diner and we ordered this super special

    Aloysius J. Pig 5:55
    we interviewing you not why? Listen spot Elliott it’s nice if you’ve stopped by but today might not be the best day because we’re having all kinds of technical issues. So maybe we can rebook him producer or is that do even book guests? It’s just such an open door policy where people just show up I don’t even know anymore.

    Producer 6:13
    Nothing yelping yard because he people can, they can reach out to me and then I can schedule a you know, a visit and appointments and interviews and whatnot like that. And you know, that’s normally how he does it. It’s not these people did, showing up. I don’t think

    Rufus T. Rufus 6:30
    it’s children. It’s recently come here from the northern ball to check in on you. It’s August. And the year is almost halfway done. And we’re coming in soon to the full season. And I need to know if everyone has been good or bad. And of course, you know, I need this for my list. So I can come down the chimneys, and deliver presents to everyone.

    Natty Bumpercar 6:57
    No, no, Santa. It’s I don’t know why you’re here, but it’s great to see you. Should we just scrap this? Can we throw this episode away? Is that something that? No, after five minutes, we have to keep it Wow. Okay, I’m finally got all these rules today. Hey, everyone, so it’s me Natty Bumpercar We went away, we went to a place called Cape Cod, which is the beach and there was there was sand. Because that’s, you know, kind of what happens on the beach. And it was very nice. But evidently, while we were gone, there was there was some work done here in the studio. Very exciting work. We now have heat and air conditioning. So that’s I years in the making very exciting here in the bumper barn. Where the studio is that we have a climate controlled situation, unfortunately, I guess the everything was moved around and changed up and now it doesn’t work the way it used to. That’s fine. That’s the perils of podcasting. You know, and a lot of times what people will do is actually run a test episode but not not here. Because evidently, if it’s content if it comes out on 10 is

    Rufus T. Rufus 8:23
    King

    Producer 8:24
    suicides you are looking

    Rufus T. Rufus 8:25
    for the king because the king can come in at any time. You may need him the king is already for yourself. I didn’t I didn’t even know we had a king this is all news to me. Natalie I thought because you know us were in that little crown a little hot with a little crown. I kind of thought that maybe you were the king or something but maybe not. I don’t know how that works. But we I think we need to gather ourselves a bit maybe have a staff meeting and I sound like a car engine run on.

    Natty Bumpercar 9:10
    Can we just stop recording for a minute and see if we can figure out the levels and the echo and then we’ll come back Okay, let’s try that. Okay, I

    Producer 9:18
    think that maybe see what that sounds like.

    Natty Bumpercar 9:21
    Honestly, it sounds much better but I think that we’re now spiking about

    Aloysius J. Pig 9:25
    what is spiking me What is that like podcasting technical time or something?

    Natty Bumpercar 9:30
    Just cuz there’s these levels, the sound levels when you’re recording audio, which podcasting is typically an audio medium, but now it’s more video two, which I don’t even want to wrap my head around. But so producer can can you show him the computer so he can see the little waves and then you can see what I’m talking

    Producer 9:49
    about. We just do a see on this screen here the monitor which is a screen which is I don’t know why is your mind and you’re monitoring your computers. I don’t know. Anyway, it’s so The thing is little lines here that you can see when I talk, you see me talking, and it’s going into the little thing. And it’s making little wavy things and lines and whatnot. And so the problem is before it was too hot, the microphone was too hot to touch. It is too hot. It’s like a it’s like an oven. So you could give it to too many lines. Basically.

    Rufus T. Rufus 10:20
    I feel like maybe we got our stuff kind of figured out. But we’re not going to mention that we’re not even going to acknowledge that Santa Claus was here. And he’s not here anymore. But that was very strange. He just kind of popped in. And he also said something we had about August being halfway through the year. I think we can all agree August is well into the latter part, you’re

    Natty Bumpercar 10:46
    going to fall I always have a hard time with former in ladder. I don’t I can’t ever figure it out when people were like, give me a list. They’re like, which one do you prefer? Well, I prefer the former and I’m just like, I don’t know what that beads. Do you just tell me which one? Hey, act like a act like this guy over here doesn’t know. And can you just tell us which restaurant Did you wanted to go to? Also, yeah, that was strange that Santa came but I am thrilled that the I think we finally get the podcast back on track. Excellent job producer. I’m really that’s for you to do that while recording. I don’t know how you did it. But I guess you just kind of moved some knobs around and everything and made it all sounds so much better. So I think you from for me and for the listeners, of course. So now this is exciting. Let’s guess we can actually have a podcast. Oh, wonderful. I

    Aloysius J. Pig 11:41
    wonder what we should talk about. We could talk about vacation. We could talk about how it was so high. Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar 11:47
    I mean, there’s so we could talk about the summer doldrums, which I don’t know if some people know but Okay, so let’s go ahead and start the podcast. Is is is is everybody is everybody ready?
