Natty Bumpercar: everybody's here great listen i'm gonna need a list from all of you of the stuff that you had that got messed up in the flood so that i can i have to give it to the insurance guy and anyway here's what happened bumper podcast we had crazy storms last saturday night and we got like five inches of rain in like 30 minutes something's in just doesn't happen type of thing and there was all this water in front of the house i think pig was talking about the street it was like a foot and a half deep and then the backyard just started filling up with water filling up with water and then there was like a river to the side of our house like it was just like water everywhere and we were watching it and then i went downstairs and i was like okay sump pump's working we're okay if you don't know a sump pump is a little hole in the corner of your basement if you think you might get water and you try to divert the water there so that a little pump which is down in the hole and the hole is called a sump don't know why but that little pump will then pump the water out to wherever you want it to go our little pipe goes out to the street the street that was underwater so the little pump it couldn't do it it couldn't push the water out into the river out there and so it started to back up right okay that's terrifying and then you turn and you look to the back of the house and you see a little pipe and it's like a little pipe and it's like a little house and there are two sinks there right by our washer and dryer and those started to fill up and not slowly like they really they were like water and we were like okay what do we do so we all

Aloysious J. Pig: grabbed buckets i actually grabbed a very tiny bucket because you know i'm just a little pig with little hooves and so i can't move a lot of water but i was there to offer support to everybody and to really cheer the team on you know and so i was there to offer support to everybody and to know because i didn't want all that water to go everywhere i get allergies i get mold affliction i

Rufus T. Rufus: don't want none of that now excuse me aloysius i heard you get the mold affliction i believe in my briefcase that i have some sort of documentation that i might need you to sign which will go pro facto ipso facto into the folder the dossier if you will to the loyification to make sure that any of your ailments are prescribed and entraved in a legal fashion you understand what i'm saying he fine whatever uh so

Natty Bumpercar: the water started coming up through the sink and we all like i had two big five gallon buckets and my wife had a five gallon and like we're just running them up the stairs as fast as we can but by the time it takes us to get upstairs which i'm talking maybe a minute maybe you know like whatever it's not not much time and we're throwing the water out into the yard and we run back down getting it throw the water like up and down up and down for three hours we did this and so we were trying to figure out if we were doing 10 gallons at a time and so she was doing five so i was probably doing let's say i did 40 buckets in an hour so three hours 40 80 120 so that's 1200 gallons of water that i moved and she probably moved about six five about 500 so we're almost at two thousand gallons seventeen hundred whatever a lot of water we were running out and like the floor was getting slippery so you you get so tired and exhausted and you're trying to move all this water you get to the top of the stairs and you slip and fall and then more water would go everywhere it was a nightmare and we couldn't keep up with all the water that was coming out of the sink and so then that's just pouring into the house and pouring into the house and then the sump was over overloaded right it couldn't do anything it was trying to push the water out and it couldn't and then i kind of i didn't know what i just kind of i said i don't know if this sump pump is working and so i just shoved my hand in there and all the stuff that had been coming in through the sink was clogging the sump so i had to like clean it out with my hand right then luckily we had a friend who's a fireman and i called him and i was just like do you have they have these submersible pumps that you can put in for stuff like this and he happened to have one it was a war zone outside of my house there's like just dirt and rocks everywhere and limbs and just fire department and police everywhere and it was a nightmare city right i got the pump i got it home and we put it in and we're still like you know pushing water out getting the water out just bone tired and then

Rufus T. Rufus: you know finally we were good for the night now when you say you was good for the night is that good in quotations i'm assuming and i'm hoping that you were able to take some sort of a shower something i wouldn't want you getting into that bed of yours all full of stink water and yucky times like that what's

Aloysious J. Pig: stink water i never heard of stink water i feel like that's something that i could really market and sell to the pig population like hey everybody you want to go to my uh my new restaurant it's called slop house and stink water i don't know it just sounds like something that we could probably you know market put a tag on put a price on put a shell on get it on get it on you know what i'm saying like that and that's our commercial now we got a commercial we got a brand name we got a product we're going to the top with

Natty Bumpercar: this when i feel like huh well okay so whatever so we went to bed yes i was able to take a shower thank you very much for asking rufus even though it's kind of creepy uh because we were discussed i was disgusting i was so i was covered in just horrible nastiness and i passed out at like 10 30 so tired then 4 a.m comes and the uh i went downstairs at 1 30 just because i was kind of shell shocked and i was terrified i was like i'm gonna make sure that the water's gone water was fine no water some pump was working went back to sleep 4 a.m the wife's like it came back and so we run downstairs and i was like in a dream state i was so beat up tired and i got downstairs and we had another six inches so the first time we got like 15 inches right the second time we got six inches uh luckily we were able to save the water heater and the uh furnace barely like by an eighth of an inch which is not very much we had to have the firemen come the policemen they came and they checked it out to make sure the pilot light wasn't uh off or whatever because then you got just gas coming into your house and then your house can blow up which i didn't i don't want my house to blow up and um the policeman when he came i forgot i was on the top of my steps and it didn't even register in my brain but i was talking to him he was down on the on the sidewalk and i was talking to him eye to eye and then he got up on the steps next to me he was probably seven foot four he was very tall and i was so tired and my brain just didn't know and i went wow you're you're really tall huh and he was just like looked at me like what do you what do you what do you want what are you talking to me for and i was like i don't know you're in my house this is weird i'm tired anyway we come downstairs and he was like why did you call and i was like i thought i was supposed to call because i called 911 and he was just like is it an emergency and i was like yeah my basement's flooded and you know because the last time five years ago our basement flooded for completely different reasons we had an oil tank in the draw under the driveway when we bought the house and when they removed it they excavated which means take out a lot of dirt right because there was leaky oil so they had to fix it they filled all that in with uh gravel but they didn't cap it off they didn't put new uh driveway on top of it for like two months and the water came in that way so this is a completely different situation but we've had floods before and that time it was right after we moved in and so we were using the basement as kind of a staging area and it was really that time was so heartbreaking because we lost everything we lost like all of our wedding pictures and just old mementos and so so much art and stuff and it was it was terrible this time it was terrible also but just for different reasons just for the exhaustion of it like did we lose stuff yes you know we lost a big pile of stuff there was a crib there was a vacuum there was this there was that whatever just stuff um you know you just kind of take pictures of and throw away but it's just it's more the mental anguish of it and then i was talking to somebody and i joke you not this was his reaction to it and it was somebody in a position of power and he went well i don't understand why didn't you just fix it this is like this is not a question that you ask of someone when they're going through a tragedy and bumper podcast caters this was a tragedy this was a horrible miserable bear in mind there are people who have it much worse than we do that did not make it out like their whole houses are wrecked like we got off fairly easy fairly well thank goodness right but there are some people who didn't but he didn't know that and i was like so affected by that and i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like offended i was just like all right and i just had to walk away because i was just like i don't even want to have a conversation with this person because i'm already tired enough but you know what makes me keep going you know what makes me happy i got you know what i'm doing right now i'm pointing at you i'm pointing at you bumper podcast caters because you're my pals you keep me dry except for my eyes because sometimes sometimes i do cry a little bit thank you so much have the best day
