    Natty Bumpercar: well well well hello there bumper podcast it's me natty bumper car and this is the last show not just of 2019 but of the entire decade 10 years of bumper podcasts why i remember when you were just a tiny bumper podcast and now look at you all grown up and big i'm so proud of you um so what i thought would be a fun idea for this episode would be if we um reminisce a little bit if we you know got some of the our pals that are on the show and had them in and kind of you know just reminisce and and and and thought about fun things that happened like maybe their favorite things so without further ado uh i'm gonna bring in our first guest so uh um take it away i guess oh look at that production we have a cool noise hey so um go ahead bargle what's what's what's your yes biggest memory i like it i like it i like it wow really i don't remember that well i'm so glad that you decided to come in and share that i'm not you know what i'm impressed because a lot of people don't put themselves out on podcasts or in friendships or relationships like you just did bargle so i'm i hey i'm glad we made it through the last decade and i can't wait to see what we do next decade cool cool cool well i mean that's gonna be hard to uh to top i mean it's not a competition but let's bring in our next guest to see what what how his decade was and what his favorite memory was well i remember when i was just a knee-high tadpole growing up in the kudzu wood thatту behind my house because i wasn't allowed in the house necessarily and all the kudzu creatures kept me company and one day we were supposed to be having a community kudzu dinner and we couldn't afford none of the food and so what we did was to um we all gathered our resources and we had a talent show and everybody came out from the hills to the valleys and we earned enough money that we all got to share a chestnut which was roasted on an open fire and just made everybody's dicky. That was my favorite moment of them all. That's wonderful. Thanks for having me, Natty. Absolutely, cousin. I'm so glad you could be here. Wow, this is really working out better than I ever would have expected. What great stories we're getting. I mean, they came together as a community. I'm so happy right now. I'm going to keep going because I feel like we're doing amazingly and I don't want to stop. Let's see, who's coming up? Oh, it's Heos. What's going on, Heos? Your name? Your name always cracks me up. I love it when you come on this show. Oh, really? That happened? And was she okay? Oh, thank goodness. I got worried. It turns out funny in the end. Yeah. That's tremendous. Man. Oh, really? Yes. Well, I didn't expect that. It's a real twist. Yes. Ah, thanks, Heos. It's great. Wow. I mean, it's like story after story after story. It's… I feel like everybody's had a pretty great decade. I guess we'll keep going. I don't know. Play the noise, producer. Right. So, I didn't know. I'm just… There. I almost went out of tune. I didn't want to have one of those. You don't. Because I was like, who wants to have breakfast and some lunch? That's too much. I don't believe it's proper. Yeah. And so, what I'm thinking is like, I'm going to go to Antibody. I'm going to have a spotter. You know, just a copper. And I'm going to just take it in and look around a bit. You guys do that sometimes. And so, my last decade, I was like, whoa, I just… Oh, other place. Yeah. And I was like, did you know? I didn't. I didn't know. How could you? And I had to really do to write a book. I did some research. And I did a walkabout. And I was just like, I think this is wonderful. This whole world is just such a big place. Yeah, it's huge. And I was like, look at this. You know, so it's like eye-opening. I was like, oh. I had no idea. I was just going to be like, experience. Everything. And I was just like, oh, stop. Oh. And so, I wanted to tell you that. And I was like, ugh. Yeah. And then, I didn't know. But I was like, really into it. And I was like, oh, man. There's a lot. And so, I didn't tell you. But I wanted to tell everybody about it. It's like, got to get out of there. You got to do your own stuff. All right? Because otherwise, you're not going to live. You got to live your life. Yeah, you got to live your life. You got to live your life, man. You got to live your life. All right. I agree. That's all I got. That's the best. Hey, you're the best, man. No, Frenchie. Listen. I think you hit the nail on the head there. You went out there. You weren't just going to sit around. And you lived your life. And you experienced the world. And it was an eye-opening experience. And I think that's what you have to do in life. I always talk about it on the podcast. But you got to be present. You got to be aware of the world around you. You got to live in it. Right? Otherwise, what are you doing? Like, you're here for a certain amount of time. And you got to, really, you got to keep your eyes open. Keep your ears open. Interact with people. Hear their stories. Get their perspectives. And you may not always agree with it. You may not even like it. But I think it's important to stay aware. Right? Of what's happening around you. This is, I think, my favorite episode that we've ever done. Let's see. I think we've got one more. And then we've got a couple surprise guests coming in. But let's see how your, what your favorite moment of the last decade was. Ullman, get up here. Well, I don't really appreciate it that you say this is my last decade. No, no, no. Because I've been here for much longer. No, not your last decade. The last. The. Excuse me. The. I didn't know what you meant by that. No, yeah, the last decade. My choice is the last decade. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, sorry. Not my last decade. No, no. No. That's a, that's a bit of nomic. I understand now. Okay, good, good, good. Sorry about that. Let me research. My favorite moment of the last decade, I believe, was I fell in love with a beautiful sunset What? What? Named. Named. Sunrise and the clouds and the skies and the butterflies and people saying why, why and all such things as that. And I chose to live that life with sunrise and sunset and the butterflies. You're still rhyming. And also I found out that I'm allergic. To what? What are you allergic to? To milk. Like lactose? Lactose? Lactose. Lactose intolerance. Okay. Lactose intolerance. That was my favorite moment. Oh, no. Because I couldn't eat ice cream anymore. Yeah, I'm sorry. That's my least favorite moment. I couldn't eat ice cream anymore. I'm sorry. And so what I started doing was just buying it by the tub and putting it in my freezer. But why? I currently have 16 freezers in my house full of ice cream that I can't even eat. That's so many freezers. Which is fine. Yeah, it's okay. You know. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. I don't remember what the question was at this point, but I feel like I should have You answered it appropriately. Yes. Thoroughly. You did very well. Willingly. Yes. And entirely. Okay, great. I thank you so much. I'm going to go stir my ice cream now. Okay, Ullman. And not eat it. No, Ullman. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Oh, we had so many nice stories, and then we had kind of a sad story at the end. Oh. I guess maybe Ullman can pick it up by having a big ice cream party, and everybody can come and sample some of the 16 freezers full of ice cream that are in his house. Oh, man. I got a little sad. Hey, man. Uh-oh. Yeah, I got a problem. What? A real problem right now. Who? Yeah, it's me, Pig. I don't understand. So listen. You had your big year in show, your big decade in show. You're bringing in all these random characters. Who's Frenchie? Who's Bargle? Who's Cousin? I don't know none of these people. They ain't never been on the show. And you're wrapping up the entire decade with all these people who ain't ever even been on the show never once before. It don't make no sense, man. It makes perfect sense. Come on. Aloysius J. Pig, I'm your co-host. I'm on the show all the time. You are, but… I don't even understand. No, Natty. None of this makes… It doesn't make no sense contractually. You have not even put these people… You haven't given them key cards. You haven't put them on the registrar. You haven't even given them cubbies in the locker rooms here at headquarters. You don't need cubbies. I don't believe that they should be featured on the Bumper Podcast 2020 year-end, decade-ending, wrap-up episode, last one of the season of the year. I do fear, however, that you are… Perhaps a little loop-de-loop, and maybe that's what's happening. I am not loop-de-loop in the least. Fine. If you guys want to give your big last decade memories, then I guess we can do that. Aloysius, you go first. Yeah, great. So here I am, chopped liver, stuck on the end. I guess this is my least favorite. I'm going to be like that old dude who… Old man, fine. But I don't even know what to say. I guess I'm happy. I wake up in a warm bed of hay every day. I get food. That makes me happy. I have my friends. Some of my friends are not as nice to me today as they were yesterday. Don't know what's going on with that. But overall, I'd say it's a great decade. I was basically, you know, born into the industry in the last decade. So I see a bright future. I do, too. I'm sorry. Please, come on. Okay, we're good. Get it together. Get it together. Get it, get it, get it, get it. I, myself, have had a phenomenal decade. That's good. I've moved over to e-science. I don't have to have as many documents in my bag. Okay. I can just look at my literature on my tablet. Okay. And I can understand that it's all there. And people just put it in their phones. That's cool. It's not much, but it's really helped me out tremendously. Well, that's good, Rufus. I don't have to go to the library to use a fax machine anymore. Okay. My litigious career is over the top, over the roof. That's good. I think we have a couple more. Let's bring Doodle Poodle. Please come here and tell us how your decade was. Also, I made a lot of doodles. So for the last year, I learned how to sharpen a pencil. And I even learned how to make watercolor doodles. So I had a fun time. I always have a fun time. I like being a dog. Thanks, Doodle Poodle. All right. Now I feel a little bit better. We did have a lot of new characters. I don't really know what I was doing. But I had an amazing decade with you guys. The 2010s were pretty swell. And I really hope the world gets to be a better place and more inclusive and nicer to everybody. And, you know, I like progress. I like things moving forward. That makes me happy. You know, I feel like we have a lot of work to do. And I feel like, you know, just if you talk to people, smile at people, acknowledge people, because everyone's going through stuff. And you don't know what they're going through. So if you're at a restaurant and maybe your water doesn't get there fast enough, it's okay. Your water's going to get there. And, you know, it's… Just relax, everybody. It's going to be okay. All right? All right. Happy New Year to you and all of yours. And the Bumper Podcast will be back in 2020 with all kinds of fun episodes. I'm assuming… I'm hoping that you'll be there with me. Share it with your friends. Rate it on whatever you listen to. And give yourself… Give yourself a hug. You deserve it. Or at least a high five. Whatever you want. It's fine. Wait, wait, Daddy. Oh, hey, guys. Did I forget you? Yeah. Oh, I can't believe it. I'm so sorry. Hi.

    Natty Bumpercar: to get that out there so they're all clearing things off of our chests did you said producer this is i'm glad we're bringing this up because i had no idea you were why do you sleep outside we

    Producer: have so many rooms here well i was never invited to stay in here and so everybody else seems to go sleep whatever they want and eat whatever they want to do in an hour or more i have to go have myilsty okay but I want, and that's just not who I am, okay?

    Aloysious J. Pig: Nanny, it's just not who he is, okay? You ain't gotta frog-secute the guy just because he's got a good spirit and a good heart, okay? Okay.

    Natty Bumpercar: Okay, uh, Pig, thank you. You got very emotional for that. That was very sweet of you. Uh, but Frog… My name is Producer. I'm Producer. Yes, Producer. I'm sorry. Thank you. I… Every night when you leave, when you like, wrap up and you're heading home, or what I thought was, like, you say goodbye, and you're like, alright, see everybody later, and you get your stuff and you go out the front door. And so we all thought that you had a house, or maybe you even had a family. We don't know anything about you, so…

    Aloysious J. Pig: No, this, no, it seems like it is moving into my purview. Uh, Mr. Producer, would you say that, uh, the Nanny Bumpercon is a affiliate affiliates have, uh, been disregarding you in any way? Because ipso facto, if they have, then that becomes a legal issue that I believe I could represent you properly for. And you know what? At some point, this house is uh, might become your house is uh, my friend, is uh,

    Natty Bumpercar: Thank you, Turkey. Yes. So, exactly. So what Turkey just said is the truth and the, and, yes. We just thought that Producer was going somewhere else. Should we have known? Maybe, but he was going out the front door. We never, why would we think he was going to the backyard? That doesn't make any sense. And, you know, I don't know a lot about him, and I feel bad about that, but that's just, uh, you know, we just haven't had, like, personal conversations. He's very professional. He goes into his booth, he does his job, and he's wonderful at it, for the most part, and he, he, that's, that's it, you know? I think we should make time, we're in the holiday season, so maybe we should get together with everyone and have a nice holiday party, and, and we can all get to know each other a little bit better. Wouldn't that be nice? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Yeah, of course you're going to be invited, Turkey. I think after this whole debacle that we've, yes, don't worry about it. You're going to be here. What I got to say, Turkey, you're kind of feathering up the joint a little bit. There's a lot of feathers everywhere, okay? So just, if you're going to molt, don't molt here, okay? Uh, I will be awaiting my invitation for this soiree, and, uh, please do run it by my calendar. To make sure I am

    Producer: available. I would like to be there, too, if you could please. I would really appreciate just being included, you know, this one time.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yeah, okay, everyone's going to be included, and I'm sorry if anyone felt like they were left out, and you're all awesome. All of you.

    About This Episode

    In episode 358 of Bumperpodcast, chaos erupts when Natty Bumpercar suddenly loses all memory and doesn't recognize his own show or his best friend Aloysius J. Pig. When lawyer Rufus T. Rufus attempts to claim ownership of the podcast by invoking a legal clause about going "loop-de-loop," Aloysius becomes suspicious. With the help of art therapist Doodle Poodle and his superior canine sense of smell, they discover evidence in the trash: a container of two-year-old broccoli cheese soup with purple felt attached—matching Rufus's jacket. The gang exposes Rufus's scheme to poison Natty and steal the show. This hilarious whodunit adventure features classic Bumperpodcast absurdity as the crew solves the mystery and restores Natty's world.

    Aloysius J. Pig: Where have I… Where am I? Where have I been? I'm so confused. Hey, what's… Pumpercat, what are you doing? And who… What are you doing? Who are you anyway? What do you mean, who am I? What do you mean? What are you doing? Are you talking all weird? I don't know. It's me, your best friend in the whole wide world. It's Aloysius J. Pig. I don't know. What is wrong with you anyways, huh? You got a weird look in your eyes? I don't know. Are you okay? You're sweating a little bit? Are you okay?

    Natty Bumpercar: You're a talking pig. I don't understand it at all. It doesn't make any sense to me. Nothing is making any sense. I'm so confused right now.

    Aloysius J. Pig: Bro, I need you just to relax. This is clearly outside of my pay grade. Hold on one second. I need a little bit of help here. I need a little bit of help here. Pumpercat's gonna loop-de-loop. Now, excuse me. I heard you said you need a little bit of help over here. Now, is this something that a legal guardian of legalities could be assisting? Assistance? And you will, exactly? Is that something that his eye? Mr. Rufus T. Rufus. I may have to help you out as much as I can.

    Natty Bumpercar: Everybody here talks just so much, but I'm so glad that you're here. That pig was just talking at me. He was saying words that I don't understand. Oh, man. I don't know where I am, and I'm really confused. Can I get some help if you could please just help me out, please?

    Aloysius J. Pig: Rufus, you see what I'm talking about? He's gone on a loop-de-loop. He's gone on a loop-de-loop. Yeah, right. He's gone straight loop-de-loop, and that is a legal term. And by the letter of my contract, it says here, let's see, page 14, paragraph 77, addendum 4BXYZ. If Natty Pumpercat ever goes a loop-de-loop, a loop-de-loop, then all of the properties, you understand, are handed over. Handed over? Are passed over. What are you talking about? What do you mean? No, what do you mean by that? No, that's what I'm saying to you. I don't understand. He's fine. Something's just off-kilter. I walked in the room. He seems a little, you know, confused. I'll say confused. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And maybe, you know, I did say he loop-de-looped, but maybe I didn't know the exact term. I didn't realize that was a legal term. It is. And now you're coming in here. So who exactly does all of this transfer to, huh? Well, now, as the instigator of the implication of his registrar… Now, in the whole legalese terminologies, what I have to tell you, my friend, is that it all actually, in actuality, reverts and processes and proceeds into my account. You understand? I don't… As the legal guardian, the signature, as the writer of the rules, if Natty Pumpercat ipso facto does go on a loop-de-loop, then all of this becomes… …under my transpire so that I can aspire to keep the wheels. I disagree. I'm moving on. You understand? I disagree. I don't know what you're talking about, lawyer Mr. His name is Rufus T. Rufus. But I just, I woke up, I was here, there was a microphone, this pig… That's me. …came in, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. And I don't know what, what's a bumper car? You are. I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. Natty Pumpercar, that's you. Okay. Yeah, that's who you are. But I don't, I don't know what's happening, so I'm a little bit confused. I'm a little bit, I don't understand. I think we're all, we all need to calm down. We all need to take a couple of steps back here. I want you to put those legal documents away or I'm gonna, I'm gonna scoot you out of the room. Excuse yourself. I want you just to breathe a little bit. There you go, just breathe. There you go, just breathe. Now breathe a little bit. What, what? Now breathe a little bit. There you go, there you go, okay. I feel better. I've got another idea.

    Doodle Poodle: And, oh, what perfect timing. It's me. You're the person I was just about to come and get. Oh no, oh no. I'm not a person. Did I make you that way? Hup, hup. He's a dog. I'm a dog. I'm a talking dog. No, no, no. I'm a dog who doodles. What? Huh? What?

    Natty Bumpercar: What are you? It's me. Doodle doodle.

    Aloysius J. Pig: I don't know anything. Hup, hup. I don't know what's happening. There's now a talking dog and a talking pig and this. Uh. Okay. I should be breathing. I should be. I can't breathe. Um, so. I'm having a panic attack. I'm having. Naughty. I'm freaking out. I think I need to. Can I just lay down for a second?

    Doodle Poodle: I think you're going to be okay. What? I feel like. Have you gone a little bit loop-de-loop?

    Aloysius J. Pig: That's exactly what I said. There's the word. There's the legal term. There was now three people. Pigs and dogs have all agreed that the loop-de-loop process is in session. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He didn't. He didn't know what he was saying. He's a crazy dog who makes drawings. Just let this leave him be. Now, doodle-poodle. I need you to do some sort of art therapy with Bumpercar because he's confused. He ain't know where he is. He ain't know who I am. He ain't know who you is. He ain't know nothing. All right? So, see if you can get him to do some remembering. Maybe through some drawings or something like that.

    Doodle Poodle: You understand? I understand. That's why I brought you in. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, Maddie Bumpercar is your name. And what I want you to do is just start saying some words. Okay. And what I'm going to do is make some doodles. And then I'm going to put all your memory brain marbles back together. And you're going to be totally fine. I swear. Okay.

    Aloysius J. Pig: Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm just going to accept this. Okay. Okay. That is happening. I'm just going to accept that I'm talking to a pig who says he's my best friend. I am. Uh-huh. Yep. And I'm going to accept that there's a dog who's going to try to do some art therapy on me. Perfecto. And we're going to see what happens. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, start talking. All right. So, I woke up. I woke up here. In this place with the microphones and everything. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I don't remember anything before I woke up. All right, so listen here. If you don't remember nothing, then this is it. That's the end of the story, and I believe we can put the pencils and the crayons and the cray-pars away because this is a dead end. The man has gone loop-de-loop, and we don't have any repercussions, so we should sign the papers. Just here, why don't you take that crayon and sign this paper, and everything will be done and fine and good and perfect and good and plenty. I don't trust none of this. I don't trust you, Rufus. I don't trust what's happening here. None of this makes no sense. Keep talking to the dog bumper car. We're going to get to the bottom of this. We're going to figure this out. You understand? We're going to get to the bottom of this. But that's everything I remember. I woke up. We're getting some good stuff here. And I was sitting in this chair, and there's a microphone, and the lights are on, and I can't think of anything else. I can't think of anything else. I can't think of anything. Wait. I do remember a smell. So the lights are on. I was sitting here. There was no sound. Okay. But there was an odd smell. Oh. But then you came in, pig. Huh? Pig. Yeah, Aloysius. Okay, and I thought it was maybe you. Wait, what? I'm sorry. I apologize. I bathe. I'm a pig, but I do bathe. You understand? I have my own en suite where I can go in and use the air. It's the restroom. I take showers, everything. We're good. Now, what was this smell? Hold on one second. Where do you think it was coming from? We don't need to worry about no smells. We don't need to. I say the smell is well, and there will dwell. You see? So we don't need to think about any smells or nothing like that. I think this is an open and shut case.

    Doodle Poodle: Well, wait a minute. This is done. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Not only am I a dog that makes doodles, but I'm also just a dog. And I have a really good nose. So I'm just going to smell around and see if I can find this. Wait a minute. What is this?

    Aloysius J. Pig: No. What is this in the trash can? This is inadmissible. This is incontrovertible. This is nothing at all. We should not be digging through the garbage. What are we, garbage men and pigs and dogs? No, no, no, no, no. Away from that garbage can. Come on now. Now, scoot.

    Doodle Poodle: Everybody, scoot.

    Aloysius J. Pig: You scoot.

    Doodle Poodle: You scoot. What is that? That's a container of that old broccoli cheese soup that has been in the freezer for two years.

    Aloysius J. Pig: I don't… Vampica, please tell me you didn't eat that, did you? I don't know. I don't remember, honestly.

    Natty Bumpercar: But I do have a weird taste in my mouth. So maybe I did. But if it was in the freezer for so long,

    Aloysius J. Pig: then why would I have eaten that? I never would have eaten that. That doesn't make any sense at all. Unless… Let me see that container. Holy cannoli. It has got a piece of purple felt on it. I am looking directly across the room at you, Mr. Rufus T. Rufus, wearing a purple felt jacket.

    Doodle Poodle: I believe, sir, that this is an open and shut case. Hold on, guys. You're all talking too quickly, and I'm still trying to draw all this. And I don't just… Hold on. I got… I got a stroke off for Natty's head. And then we were talking about felt. I don't know how to draw fabric, necessarily. And it's just… There's a lot going on right now. So… They like it all to slow down a bit.

    Aloysius J. Pig: Now, Mr. Aloysius J. Big, what I understand that you are saying is that you are pointing at me as the pro-quentin-twatter… Quentin… And it's a word. Pro-quentin-twatter of this crime. You're saying that I am a despicable. But what I want you to realize… Is that when you point your hoof, there are other fingers, hoofs, pointing back… No, I don't understand. That doesn't work. When you point your finger… One for… There's four fingers pointing back at you. But when you point your hoof, it's just kind of a… I guess they're all… So you are. You're all… You're pointing everything at me right now. Yes, indeedy-doodle. I sure am. I'm… So, I… If I'm to understand this correctly…

    Unknown: Whew.

    Aloysius J. Pig: You're my best… You're my best friend, Aloysius J. Pig. You are my lawyer, Rufus T. Rufus. You have papers right there that you're ready for me to sign to turn everything over to you. If I go loop-de-loop… And we find in this trash can a container of some two-year-old soup… That has… The same kind of fabric… That's on your jacket on it. Which makes me think that maybe… You served me this old soup…

    Natty Bumpercar: Which caused me… To go a little bit loop-de-loop. Is that what happened? Are you trying to take over everything?

    Aloysius J. Pig: Are you trying to take over… What is this thing called? This is called a bumper podcast. Yeah, this is called a bumper podcast. And I do believe that I will be making my ex-zones… And I think I would have gotten… Away with it, you understand? If it wasn't for all of these crazy dogs and crazy pigs and whatnot and… Et cetera.

    Doodle Poodle: Well, you better… You better scoot, buddy. You better scoot out of here. Because I don't like what you did to Nanny. And I wasn't even able to make a good drawing. I only got to use my nose. And I'm not nosy, poodle. I'm doodle, poodle.

    Aloysius J. Pig: Wow. This is… This is the world I live in? You guys are going to have to, like, re-educate me and tell me how this stuff works. Because I am so confused right now. And I… I'm really sorry that I forgot you. And that I forgot everything.

    Unknown: And…

    Aloysius J. Pig: Did we record all of this? Yeah, it's basically what we do. We come up with nutty, crazy stuff every couple weeks or so. And then people listen to it and it's all fun. It's all good. You're fine. Don't worry. You're fine. This really isn't that far out of the realm for what we normally do. If I'm to be honest. I absolutely concur on… Well, fine. We told you to scoot. I thought we were all kidding around. I thought we were all joking, etc. I thought we were just playing around. No. No, no, no. All right, everybody. Well, I guess… I guess I'm Natty Bumpercar. And I guess this is the Bumper Podcast. And I hope you had a good time. And I hope you had fun. And I want you to know that I think we're all best friends, right? Yeah. Okay.

    Unknown: We'll see you next time.

It's a birthday episode, and you know whose birthday it is? It's my birthday, and I think the only way that we can do this, the only successful, awesome, cool way that we can do this, is probably through song. But don't worry, because if I do it in song, it won't take very long, because I'll forget a lot of words, and they won't always rhyme. Take it, pig.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Oh, I remember when you was a baby then, you would cry and colic all of the time. Your diapers. Smelled, and we all said, well, one day you'll grow up and be just fine.

    Rufus T. Rufus: Take it, Rufus. Well, this wasn't in my contract. I didn't know I was going to have to sing, but I don't mind if I do, because my voice has a special ring. And it's nice. It's Natty Bumpergar's birthday, and that is a special thing. Rufus, you didn't sound like yourself today. Yeah, I know, son. It's hard for me when I'm singing and everything.

    Bumperpodcast #348 – Spring!

    Spring is here – which means that it is officially time to clean! Let’s see how that goes….

    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.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I am 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.”

    “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.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I was kind of done cleaning, and I just had to convince him that I was asleep.”

    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.
