And if somebody's going to throw something at them, there's a bucket. They're fine. They're safe. Let's say you get into some sort of snowball fight. This is another good, and sometimes accidentally, but the snowballs have ice in them. And that can cause an injury. That can cause blunt force trauma to your head. You're going to go to the hospital for that. You're going to be kept there, very disruptive of your day. But you have a bucket on, you're fine. You're protected. Now let's get back to, like, normal bucket things. Like, what can I put in my bucket? Again, anything. You can make stuff in your bucket. Like, let's say you've got some, some dirt, all right? I'm going to put a little bit of water in there. I've got mud, just like that. And then, you know, if people would say, what are you doing? Why did you put, why did you make mud in your bucket? It's all dirty now. You could say, hey, listen, I'm opening a mud pie stand here. Back off. My gran, it's my, it's my nonna's recipe. My, my grandma, my, my grandma. I don't know any other words. My mommy, mammy, mammy, no. Grammy, Grammy. Grammy, I like Grammy. We'll go with Grammy. It's my Grammy bumper cars special recipe for mud pie. And then I put the dirt in, and then I put the water in, and you stamp on it. It's very good. And I mixed it perfectly. And look at this. It's beautiful. You can put marbles in a bucket. If you're into collecting seashells, I've seen people. I've seen people collect seashells in their buckets. Okay, you can write things on pieces of paper, little slips of paper, and drop them in the bucket. And then they're just in there for you. You can walk up and down at intersections and hold your bucket out. Maybe somebody's going to put some money into it. Maybe. I don't, I mean, I see, again, it's very open-ended and it's, it's, it's a great adventure. And I'm sorry that we haven't gotten those out to you yet. So listen, Bumper Podcast, buckets are the new thing. Natty Bumper Car, Bumper Podcast, Bucket Brigade, booyah!
