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.
