    About This Episode

    In episode 348 of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar enlists the help of Rufus T. Rufus, Doodle Poodle, and Aloysious J. Pig for spring cleaning day. What starts as an organized effort to declutter and donate old merchandise quickly devolves into chaos. Rufus gets sidetracked discussing tax law and demanding a palapa for breaks, while Doodle Poodle gets his feelings hurt over comments about his artwork. One by one, the helpers abandon the cleaning project—Rufus pretends to leave, Pig fakes falling asleep, and even Natty gives up to take a nap. The episode hilariously captures the universal struggle of motivating others (and yourself) to complete mundane tasks, with the signature improvised banter and character dynamics that make Bumperpodcast so entertaining.

    Rufus T. Rufus: so where do you want me to put this thing this this whole box goes in the trash okay yeah what we in the recycle in the recycle okay the plastic plastic all right okay perfect perfect so uh hey

    Natty Bumpercar: everybody it's me natty bumper car and you're catching us at a weird time right now because we're actually spring cleaning like today's the day the sun's out the windows are open and we are just getting rid of all the stuff that we've gathered over the winter and trying to clean this place out a little bit now excuse me natty i have all of my folios and portfolios and walls of documents with signed signatory signatures you understand that they have been stamped and approved they have been lived and they have been looved what's looved what are you saying it's not are you saying loved you understand no okay so you're just gonna take all of that and you're gonna put it there's a box over there that's gonna get shredded because legal documents we don't just want to put into the recycling or

    Rufus T. Rufus: anything so what about all these clothes what are we gonna do with the clothes we're gonna

    Natty Bumpercar: donate them nobody's gonna but they will they're gonna they're gonna love them they got your face on well yeah nobody wants that come on don't say that everybody so we do have we have a stack of natty bumper car shirts that we used to sell and get rid of but now we have like all these weird sizes and so i don't know what to do with them i don't know what to do with them i don't know what i mean it's i can't take them to places and sell them because people are like i want a medium and i'm like oh all i have is this triple extra small and nobody wants that so we'll just donate them i

    Rufus T. Rufus: think that's the nicest thing to do sure man i guess if you want to you know dump your stuff that you ain't want on other people if that's your uh idea of uh uh being altruistic then go

    Natty Bumpercar: ahead and you do you all right now natty i i was wondering all these shirts that were donated etc and are these things going to be coming with some sort of a receipt or whatnot because you understand i do some tax law these days i've gotten my dabbed my toe into that pool a bit tech law always changing people always needing representation and so with that i declare we should get our just desserts you understand yeah i think we'll probably

    Doodle Poodle: get a receipt for that i think that's how that works somebody say desserts because i really am kind of hungry and i was looking through the refrigerator and i was looking when i found this tub of rice pudding and i was like i can have some rice pudding for lunch i was gonna jump in and say

    Rufus T. Rufus: something about him saying desserts but i guess uh doodle poodle he has taken care of that thank you

    Natty Bumpercar: uh however it is getting close to lunch time and i don't know if this is a union spring clean but i do have specific needs and wants and desires such as okay a break such as that's easy maybe a table full of food oh i like that services yeah you understand yeah i would like a pitcher no no no i would like an entire cooler full of some sort of beverage okay you know yeah i understand and i would like a palapa you'd want a what what is a palapa i don't even understand now natty as i understand from my research on the wicker you don't understand on the internet uh the palapa is an open-sided dwelling it's got a fetched uh roof maybe made of uh dried palm leaves so it's essentially is it just a hut is that or is it like uh i don't understand why do we want a palapa palapa bro it's not a it's not a hut and i didn't like the way you said that i don't like the way you looked around the room and were like oh is it a hot like no man it's a

    Rufus T. Rufus: palapa okay it's a place where you can go and refresh and you can relax and you can get out of

    Natty Bumpercar: the elements do you understand so i understand and i understand that you could maybe have some lemonade out there some lime and or something such as that. Maybe a nice screen to keep the bugs out because it is getting a bit hot outside, and so the bugs are going to wake up, and they're going to come and say hello to you, and I'd rather say hello to the bugs from a distance. You know what I'm saying? I don't want no flies to be landing on me, and I don't want any mosquitoes to be coming and drinking off of me. It's just not my sort of cup of tea. You know what I'm saying? That makes sense to me. But back to the spring cleaning, less balapa, more cleaning. Can we do that?

    Doodle Poodle: Natty, actually, can somebody say something about a cup of tea because I'm super thirsty, and sometimes when I do a lot of work, I need extra things to drink, extra tea, extra juice, extra water.

    Rufus T. Rufus: Bro, you're making me thirsty at this point. Right. Yeah, stop talking about drinks. So for a second,

    Doodle Poodle: I gathered up all of these doodles, and we're going to… I don't know what we're going to do with them.

    Natty Bumpercar: Well, since they have all that paint and everything on, and I hope that's paint, yes, then we can't recycle those, but I think we can try to donate them. Maybe somebody will take them. Natty, ain't nobody going to take none of that junk. You understand what I'm saying?

    Doodle Poodle: I didn't say that they were junk. I don't think the stuff that I make is junk. I think there's people who appreciate it and appreciate me and like me for who I am. I'm just going to leave this stuff here and go.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, you're okay. You're okay. Toodle-ing. You go do some doodling. I know that makes you feel better. Thanks for helping, Doodle Poodle. Rufus, you can't say that kind of stuff. You can't say that kind of stuff in front of him. You know it upsets him. Well, listen, it's fine. He's fine. It's not a cool, nice thing to say. He makes what he makes, and you do whatever you do around here. All right, well, I do everything. You understand I'm the linchpin. I am the glue. I am the super solder. I am the tape of the duck that keeps this ship a-floating and a-going and a-moving and a-not-sinking. Yes, sir. Put that on each of… It sounds like a great business card for you. Rufus, T. Rufus. I am in charge of not-sinking. That sounds like… I mean, I don't want to… I'm not in marketing. I'm not… This is not a business pitch. You can have it if you wanted it. All right, pig. Not-sinking. Yeah. What do you do? Oh, I'm a not-sinker. Okay, leave him alone. It sounds like a great thing. It's a very nice thing. I think you probably could have gone with linchpin. That sounds kind of like strong. What are you? Linchpin. What do you do? I linchpin. Wait, is that like a verb and a noun at the same time? What is that? That is a linchpin. And what does it do? It linchpins. No. No, I guess it doesn't work. It doesn't work, no. And speaking of not working, you know what? I feel like I have done my business around here long enough, and I will be heading out. Let's see about that plopper, if I can find one. Maybe somebody. Like to install one. I don't know if you grow them, or if somebody did disappear from the sky or whatnot, but I'm going to look into that plopper, if you understand. So you guys keep on cleaning, springing, whatever you're doing. I'm going to go do a little linchpinning, if you understand what I'm saying. So you're going to hold on to the linchpinning. Perfect. All right, well, thanks for coming down to help, Rufus. From what I can see, you didn't do anything. Nothing at all. So happy spring cleaning day. Happy spring cleaning day to you. We have now lost two, Pig. We have lost Doodle Poodle, and we have lost Rufus T. Rufus. But I know that you are going to… Pig? Pig. Pig! Are you asleep? He's asleep, everybody. Oh, I'm going to turn your microphone off. Okay, everybody. I guess Pig fell asleep, so now it's just me, and I don't feel like I can do any more cleaning because it'll be too loud, and I'll wake him up, and I don't… He needs his sleep. He does need his rest. And if you remember earlier, he said that he needs breaks, and I think he said he needs naps, which is weird because normally on his list of demands, food is top notch. What was it? It was breaks and then a table of food, so it was second. So that's okay. Well, thanks for joining us and looking around. It doesn't look like we really accomplished much, but I hope you're having a great day, and I hope you, you know, do some spring cleaning because what I've noticed is if you can get rid of stuff, if you don't attach yourself to stuff, just let it go, then you're going to feel a little bit better. You're going to feel a little bit lighter. You're going to feel a little bit less tethered to the… to the ground, right? Because you don't have all this stuff weighing you down. Um, so best of luck. Go outside, run around, smell a flower, high-five a bee. You know, do what you do, man. It's spring. Thanks, Bumper Podcast Coutures. I'm Natty Bumpercar, and I'm probably going to go take a nap too. See you later. Mashed potato.

    Rufus T. Rufus: Bro, is he gone? Oh, man. I tell you what. I was kind of done cleaning, and I just had to convince him that I was asleep.

    Natty Bumpercar: As soon as I saw Doodle Poodle leave, and as soon as I saw Rufus leave, I was like, okay, what's going on? Am I going to be the only one here cleaning? Because that is not going to happen, okay? So, anyway, I just laid down on the floor, and I did a little snorey-snore, and, uh, you know, I heard the door shut, so I'm like, okay, we're back in. What are we doing? So what are we doing? Everybody's gone? Okay. So what? I had my nap. I guess it's time for lunch.
