was this wednesday july 11th and how do i know it's his birthday well because it's my birthday too that's right this week was my birthday happy birthday to me right yeah pretty cool right right right and but then something weird happens when you get a little bit older i suppose and and you have a family or whatever um no no one did anything for my birthday and it's miserable and here's why i grew up as an only child so i was the center of the universe and kind of like you know you get your birthday some people are like oh it's just another day what do you care no it's a special day it's your birthday it's the it's the anniversary of the day you were born that's pretty neat you made it another trip around the sun good for you you did it way to go you don't know how many you're gonna get it's a special important day so it you know it's i don't want to complain i'm not complaining i'm just sad i'm sad i'm sad uh but i do appreciate on social media a lot of people said happy birthday and i don't care that they remembered because facebook was like hey it's natty bumper car's birthday that's fine i appreciate that because people who took the time out to write me a note you melt my heart it makes me feel super great um you know i woke up and uh my wife was leaving for work she's like happy birthday and she's gone i was like all right cool thanks and uh and that was it and then i i took the kids to camp and and then i was just like all right i don't want to go to work today i want to i want to have a fun day i want to make a fun day for me and so i did and i went and i got a uh a tres leches donut i've talked about it before montclair bread looking at you you're delicious and i appreciate it thank you now from there you know 7 11 is my birthday and so pig and i love to go to 7 11 and get slurpees but we went at 10 like 35 and the guy was like nope no slurpees until 11 and i was like bro it's my birthday and he was like sorry big shrug and i was like okay so then i i i was like i'll get some other stuff done so i went to home depot and picked up my broken lawnmower good and then i uh and then i went and i got the car washed and then uh in between there i did go get a slurpee and pig ate it the whole thing did not share at all which is fine and uh then i went and got some delicious mexican food and then i um what did i do then i had to go pick emerson up and he had a doctor's appointment and this kind of was but so we're at the doctor we're talking about you know how are things going what's going on blah blah blah and we had been to a big family reunion in new hampshire last week i don't know if i told you about that but it was huge and the drive back almost killed all of us because it was too long and it was nine hours oh why but we're at the doctor and oh and so emerson was around all kinds of family all you know ages all generations and he got kind of freaked out he's like oh no people might die yeah people eventually maybe in theory yes people will but it's going to be okay and then he's like oh and my dog's old socks is old so i was telling all this to the doctor you know oh he's you know he's worried about the dog dying because he's 15 and emerson turns and he looks at me and he goes he's not 15 what are you talking about and i was he's 14 i was like no no no no no no no dude you know today is today is socks his birthday he turned 15 the same way it's it's my birthday today and he was like what today's your birthday and it was so uncomfortable and so awkward that the doctor actually gasped she went like like that and i was just like i don't even want to talk about it it was so depressing like i made this person he has no idea it's my birthday Let's do this. Let's go to the pool. And we did. And it was fun. It was nice. And we were there for like a nice 40 minutes. Perfect. Perfect amount of pool time. Did a couple of flips. Did a couple of dives. Good for me. Got home. And oh, and I forgot. So when I got home from the movie theater, Ollie, Ollie did make me a card, which was very sweet. And then he wrote like, happy birthday, dad. I love you. And then which, that's, so you know what? When I say I didn't get anything for my, that's what I got for my birthday, which is super cool. And super awesome. And he gave me a big hug. So that's wonderful. But, you know, it's, it's depressing. And like nobody on the show did anything. Like, I'm talking about the Bumper Podcast. Oh, my other podcast. They were very nice. They said a lot of things to me. And sent me a lot of weird pictures. And then I got home. And earlier in the day, I had stopped by. There's a pie shop here. Near my house. And I had a little tiny key lime pie. And so I ate the tiny key lime pie. Watched a little TV. And then just kind of hung out on the couch. And that was, that was my big day. Woo! Whose big day is it? I guess it's, I suppose, I guess it's mine. I don't know. I don't know. The most, one of the most exciting things was I went through a car wash. And it had like rainbow foam. It was pretty cool. And it had like LED lights. So, I mean, that was kind of like a party. I mean, that was as close to a candle as I got. So, you know. Anyway. I guess the point of all of this is, is you got to take care of yourself, Bumper Podcast. Because if you don't, you know, maybe other people aren't going to take care of you. So you take care of yourself. Hopefully other people will take care of you too. But if they don't, just be ready. Because you got to be the most important to you. Right? You got to be the most important to you. Right? Right? Right? Right? Right?

Unknown: Right? Right?

Natty Bumpercar: Then chances are you're not going to be as important to anybody else. So take care of yourself. And hopefully other people will help you take care of yourself as well. But if not, then at least you're taking care of yourself. Right? This is a bit of a downer. This is more of a downer than I was anticipating. Kind of bummed. This was the birthday episode I was expecting. Started off with socks. Went through my whole day.
