Doodle Poodle: really nice drawings of you in the cave and it was i made some drawings you know natty so this

Natty Bumpercar: dog over here he made some drawings for you because we were very worried but concerned you understand and you you would disappear and yeah yeah i don't understand what's happening well so that's the funny thing is we i kind of played a big prank on everybody and uh i uh i got the the oh what is this you called him like old natty or something like that we called him future bumper car because he was supposed to be from the future and he said that you you had gone to the future and we were here and we were here and we were here and we were here and we were here and we were here and

Doodle Poodle: Everything. I'm very, I'm super confused as well.

Natty Bumpercar: I'm sorry, Doodle Poodle. Doodle Poodle, it's weird. You're only coming in through one channel. I can only hear you in my left speaker. Can you fix that? Stop trying to deflect, Bumper Guy. No one's happy right now, okay? You caused an uproar. You caused a hullabaloo. You caused a big what to do is what you did, okay? And so no one's, don't worry, Doodle Poodle, you're okay. Calm, take your deep breaths. Take your deep breaths, okay? The dog is very upset here, Natty. What Aloysius just said is true. Now, there are jokes and there are jokes, but, you know, you've really outdone yourself. You've put out two episodes in like three months now, which is unheard of. I know. People have flocked away. What? Really? Now, can you explain that? Well, yeah, so I've been really busy. Yeah. Busy, seriously? Yeah, I know. But I have. I started, we started a Patreon page. A Patreon, what? Yeah, no, what is this, Bumper Guy? I don't understand. No. Is there something legal involved? Yeah, so it's a place that people can go and they can subscribe to different levels and we can actually start to, you know, like, fund this thing. Hold on a second here. You are speaking my language, my lingua franca, as it were. Now, so you could say we can be raising some, some, some, some sweet, sweet cash on, on, on this Pat, Patrion. Pa, Patrion, yeah, and it's, it's just, it's, it's easy because it's just, I think, I'm trying to think. It's a website and the URL, it's just patrion.com slash nattybumpercar and so people can go there and they can get, like, cool things. Like, we're trying to figure out T-shirts and buttons and stickers and, like, exclusive stuff that only the people who subscribe to the Patreon can see. Which is kind of neat. Like, we're doing silly unboxing videos. We're getting the studio all set up so that we can start to really pump out more content. More content, more content, more content, more content. Man, I can't, what else are we gonna make? We had Snowflake, the webcomic that you did. We do the podcast every so often. I hope it's more often now. We did Piggin' Pals. We did that every day for, like, I don't know, five months. So, I mean, we got so much content. Now, is there a user agreement? Is there some sort of EULA? Is there some sort of thing that I, I feel like I need to read over this paperwork before we go full, full, full bore. Excuse me. Yeah. Good one. Full pig. Full pig. Thank you. With this whole thing. It's not that funny, okay? Full bore is not something we say in, in, in my world, okay? It's not a, it's not a nice thing to say, all right? Yeah, don't say that. So, it's already, it's already launched. It's already there. It's already, like, everything, I, we, I made all sorts of cool images and levels and videos. I've already have, like, a welcome, welcome to the Patreon type thing. And, yeah, so it's just gonna be a fun thing. So, I hope, you know, we'll, we'll, we'll definitely promote it and plug it. And hopefully people will start hopping on. And that would be amazing. Uh, because the thing is, is we love making stuff, obviously. Oh, well, do we really, though? Yes, of course we do. Or else I wouldn't be standing in a freezing cold room, uh, this shed, no insulation, no heat, no power, uh, making this right now, right? I mean, it's just fun to make stuff. If you don't make stuff, what are you doing? You're languishing. You're laundering? No, you're laying. You're lackadaisical. It's a lot of L words. Uh, like, uh, lima beans? Uh, lappa dappa? I'm trying to think. There's not a lot of L words, are there? Uh, excuse me, everyone. I feel like I should step on your toes a bit to ask a question. Am I still required here? Holy guacamole, I forgot he was even still here. Yeah, that's another mystery. Who is this dude, Matty? I don't know, like, who is he? Well, um, my name is… I didn't ask you. Well, finally. Yeah. Matty, not you. Okay, no need to be rude. Uh, he did ask me, though. Um, so, he is… not some random dude that I found at a renaissance fair, uh, who is looking for work. Wait a minute. He's definitely not that. Are we paying him? Because if you're finding just actors on the streets, they don't just act for nothing, do they? If I may… You may not. You may not. Pig. Not nice. No, no, Pig and Lou is on to something important here, I feel. So, if we can just get actors, what are we paying everybody here for? Are we paying you? And that, sir, is a direct question. Do not try to facilitate or obfuscate my answer, please. Okay, I am here for the craft, for the love of the craft, for the love of the art, if you will.

Robot: Well, um, my actual name is Reginald, and I have been in an acting troupe. My entire life.

Natty Bumpercar: And, well, I'm just happy to have come here and done the research and all the work. And, of course, I'm going to put a hat out if you would… He's going to throw a hat? Why? Like, to… What do you do? To do what? Throw a couple of coins in. What? No way! This is… You're not going to busk here. This is a studio. What are you talking about? This is like a residence. Kind of bizarre. Keep your hand on your head. Um, yeah, we… Reginald, I'm… I do appreciate… I appreciate all the work you did and, uh, everything, but, you know, we kind of talked about how you didn't want to be paid, and so I think probably throwing a hat out at this point is not a great idea. And, really, uh, not a happy audience. Nope. Not a happy audience here right now. Well, then, I suppose I will be on my way, but not before I give you a final bow and bid you adieu. Okay, uh, thanks, Reginald. We'll see you later.

Robot: All the world's a stage!

Natty Bumpercar: He didn't say all the world is a stage. Come on, bumper car, you got to stop bringing random people into the house, okay? It's just… It's just weird, though. Yeah, but… Yeah, but it was kind of funny, right? The whole thing, the future, and, you know, we got two cool episodes out of it, and… Nope. I am seeing through this. I am seeing through this facade. I'm seeing through this ruse. You just didn't want to keep doing all the production. And making the songs. You did two… Because we had a whole script written out. We had a whole thing figured out that we were going to do. There was an outline. Remember season two? We were super excited about it. Well, yeah, and, uh… Shh! That's behind the scenes. You didn't want to do the work! Okay. So that's behind the scenes stuff, pig. Uh, and it was a ton of work, and I wanted to focus on the Patreon, and I'm sure you'll be sure we're going to do episodic content at some point. Right? I assume… You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself there, Natty. Just absolutely beside yourself. Just, what are you doing? Not just to yourself, but to your friends, us, and to your listeners. You're putting out a carpet so they can step on it, and you're just pulling it out from under them. You're putting a carpet over mud… Yeah. …to protect your listeners. And then you're ripping it out underneath them. Oh, now I feel terrible. And you should. I don't know how you sleep at night, but you should feel very rough. Uh, you know what? I'm done for today. Talk about your Patreon thing again. Plug it away. You know, whatevs. But, man, this is really having me, uh, refocus on some of my issues here. I'm really looking at my life, is all I'm saying. Come on, buddy. Okay. Um, well, yeah. Hey, everybody. So, I'm really sorry about the trick. Uh, but it's okay, because we have a Patreon. Patreon.com slash NattyBumperCar. Please go check it out. Uh, there'll be exclusive content. There'll be, like, prizes you can get if you join certain levels. We're… T-shirts, buttons, stickers, and a really cool thing. We're working on a book. All of us. Uh, and it's pretty far along. And so, I hope in the next couple months that I'll have, uh, something for you to check out. Because, you know, we like to make stuff. Make stuff for you. Make stuff for you. That's what we do. Remember the cool song? Uh, that was… That was a lot of fun to make. Maybe there'll be more songs. I don't know. I've never fired a client, but, uh, I'm on the verge of cutting you loose. Yeah, I got your, uh, invoice. Uh, I'm gonna have that paid for you tomorrow, okay? Well, welcome back to the… Oh, my best client. Natty Bumpercar.
