    About This Episode

    In this emotional episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar recounts the harrowing experience of catastrophic flooding at his house. After five inches of rain in 30 minutes, Natty, his wife, and the puppet crew including Aloysious J. Pig, Rufus T. Rufus, Doodle Poodle, and a newly voice-updated Robot battled rising water for hours. The episode details their desperate three-hour bucket brigade moving nearly 2,000 gallons of water, a failed sump pump, and the heartbreaking aftermath of losing possessions. Natty shares raw emotions about dealing with the disaster while offering humor through the puppet characters' reactions, from Pig's tiny bucket contributions to Rufus's obsession with legal documentation.

    My favorite shows are where I have a guest host – and, today is no exception. Making his way to the microphone, it’s Ollie! He asked what I was doing when I was setting up and I said ‘I’m about to make a podcast’. He ran away, and said “I’ll be right back” over his shoulder. It was adorable.

    Oliver (guest): during the day yeah are you so smart yes are you too smart I think you do

    Natty Bumpercar: though I think if you thought about it it's 100 plus 100 is something creeping me out what that's creepy what bubbles what are you talking what do you know I'm it's moving by itself yes a lightsaber not a not bubbles at all I don't even know he was touching it I don't think it was moving was it was it really don't hit me in the nose so what just happened was we were doing a little basic math not even basic math but we were doing a little basic math but we were doing a little basic math I guess because it's a hundred oh well let's just to go back to that just to circle back for a second so 100 plus 100 is look how many look look look at my fingers oh you broke it oh one look 100 hey I'll fix it later it's actually these don't really fix very well oh maybe we'll put some tape on it I'll put some tape on it okay so but look at my fingers ready 100 plus 100 is boom BAM good job oh but you still remembered us that's pretty cool

    Oliver (guest): too what tricks do you have tricks yeah what kind of tricks do you have okay what

    Natty Bumpercar: part of that was a trick were you tricking him into giving you the answer yes look at her hands we're gonna see who wins

    Oliver (guest): let's just say this is chocolate she left it in the grown-up no more tricks man okay what are you learning to do with the pool you can dive it's hard

    Natty Bumpercar: right but are you is it are you scared at all or I'm not this kid up big you know you're not scared of the big diving board yeah because you're there oh ollie that was unintentionally sweet what you just did cuz so what I do is I swim into the middle of the pool because the big diving board it puts you out in the middle of the pool and then Ollie can swim the whole way across but sometimes he gets a little bit tired and sometimes the shock of his dive or dive in quotes knocks the wind out of him and so I have to ferry him to the side I'm like a tugboat for you right I'm like a tugboat and you're like a tugboat and you're like a tugboat and I'm like a tugboat and you're like a big boat in the harbor. And I have to go. Have you ever managed to swim all the

    Oliver (guest): way to the bottom of the pool? I tried. Did you make it? No but didn't we try it

    Natty Bumpercar: the other day? Yeah. Remember I sank all the way to the bottom and I was sitting on the bottom of the pool? Yeah. And then you had your goggles on and you looked down under and then you tried to come down but you couldn't make it. And then we tried what was it you were in front of me and we both tried to go down and you were like nope nope nope and so you went back up and then you held on to my back and you were gonna try it one more time but we didn't quite make it. It's okay we'll get there it's a deep deep pool it's like 11 it's over 11 feet deep.

    Oliver (guest): I think when I'm as old as you I can do that. Wait when you're as old as

    Natty Bumpercar: me let me think how old are you now? Five. So that will be in 40 years. You know how old I'll be? What? 40 plus 45 I will be 85 years old. That's even older than Gigi and Pop-Up right now. Oh my gosh. So old. Will you still hang out and do podcasts with me when I'm 85? Yes. Thank goodness. I think if when I'm 85 you're gonna have to sit in the middle of the pool and help me get to the side. Will you do that for me? I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Because I'm gonna be too old. I'm gonna be too tired. I'm gonna be like I can't make it. I don't think I can make it. I'm gonna sound like a I'm gonna sound like Gandalf. Somebody come and help me. I'm a wizard. You're a wizard Harry. Oh that's actually Dumbledore. So what else is going on this summer? You got any big fun plans?

    Oliver (guest): Oh what did you pet the other day? A duck. You pet a, was it a baby duck? Yes and a rabbit. I pet all. I pet a lot of animals. Did they say thank you when you pet them? No they just stayed where they were. And said they just didn't do nothing.

    Natty Bumpercar: They didn't, the duck wasn't like thank you. And what did the bunny rabbit, what would he say?

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.
