    About This Episode

    In this festive episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar sits down with two special young guests, Emerson and Oliver, to discuss all things Christmas. The energetic duo shares stories about their household elf named Elfie the Snow Monster, decorating their Christmas tree, and even performs an enthusiastic rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." The conversation takes hilarious turns as the kids reveal what they want from Santa (a toy car and a toy dinosaur) and Natty reflects on the exhausting yet wonderful chaos of the holiday season. Between managing excited children, pondering why Santa always loses his toy sack in every Christmas special, and joking about a fictional sponsor called "Sack Finder," Natty delivers a charming and chaotic holiday episode that captures the true spirit of Christmas at Bumperpodcast headquarters.

    Natty Bumpercar: A toy dino? That sounds kind of scary. It's not going to scare Santa Claus? Okay. Emerson, what do you want for Christmas? Nothing? You're going to be quiet? Oh, well, this didn't turn into the magical podcast that we were hoping it was going to turn into, did it?

    Unknown: Um, what do you want for Christmas? Eh, nothing?

    Natty Bumpercar: Nothing? I guess he doesn't want anything. Oh, well, this is going to be an easy year for Santa Claus, then.

    Unknown: Em.

    Natty Bumpercar: Emmy, Ollie's talking to you. If you don't want to talk to me, you want to talk to Ollie?

    Unknown: Em.

    Natty Bumpercar: Em. Okay. Emmy's going to go. Hold on. I got to, you guys are very difficult to hold on to. Here, give me the headphones. All right. Well, so that was the kids. They really didn't last very long. They were pretty excited about Christmas. They were pretty excited about podcasts. And then, oh, they're not. They're abstaining from their excitement for the podcast. So, that's how that works out. Oh, never work with children or animals. Except do, because it's nice. Uh, so, yeah, there's a lot of excitement here around headquarters. And, um, we have the, the tree is up. It's all decorated. The house is decorated. There's lights outside. There's, uh, bubbles and bits and bunions and doodads all over the place. Elfie the Snow Monster, this is his last night in the house. It's very depressing. It's very depressing. He's had quite the run this year. Elfie the Snow Monster, that's right. And, um, yeah, man. Whew. What an exhausting, what, it's the most fun time of the year, but it's also the most exhausting time of the year, because there's so much to do. There's so much you want to go to, like, there's, there's little parties. There's Christmas parties. There's, there's, uh, Hanukkah parties. We went to one. There's, I mean, there's so much going on. And, um, uh, and then there's a lot of, uh, there's a lot of work, because it seems like what happens with work is everyone kind of waits. I don't know, maybe after, like, they're like, oh, man, it's Thanksgiving. I'm just going to hang out and wait. And then Thanksgiving happens, and then they're like, oh, man, I'm going to hold out and wait for another week or so. And then, boom, out of nowhere, they're like, here's all the work in the world. You do it. And you're like, I don't want to do all the work in the world. And you're like, you're going to do all the work in the world. And then you're tired. I'm always tired, though. You know what I want in, uh, I want to do in my stocking. I want some, uh, vitamin B12. That's what I want. I think it's going to be a perfect present. Hey, Ollie, am I going to get anything in my stocking? What am I going to get in my stocking? Um, he's so far away from the microphone, so you're not going to hear him. Um, a telescope in my stocking? That sounds like the best I think ever. So I can see, wait, is that what telescopes are? They show you where stars are? What else show you? Um, where mountains are? Where mountains are? What about planets? Stars and planets and maybe even, I don't know, meteors and comets? Awesome. Can you, do you know the names of all the different reindeer? You know, Dasher and Dancer and Donner and Blitzen, Comet and Cupid and… Uh-oh. Donner and Blitzen. Oh, no! I got confused. But do you recall the most famous reindeer of them all? What's his name? That is his name! Which is kind of rough for the other reindeer, because they had this young Turk of a reindeer just show up on the scene and just because he has a red shiny nose, all of a sudden he's everybody's favorite. How do you think Donner feels about that? How do you think Blitzen feels about that? Do you think they like him? I do too. I think everybody probably loves him. Everybody loves Rudolph, because he, you know, he brings a little something to the table. A little something extra. A little something red, if you will. Uh, we were watching a Christmas special this morning and I can't remember, it was Winnie the Pooh, but here's what happens. Guess what happens? Santa loses his toy sack. It happens all the time. Paw Patrol. Santa's lost his sack. This sack gone. Every, every cartoon I feel like that I see where Christmas is in danger of not happening. It's all because Santa has misplaced his sack. Uh, and so that's where we bring up our first sponsor, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, it's, what is all this? I'm getting all kinds of messages. Buzz, buzz, buzz, boom. Uh, Sack Finder. Uh, you just put this, uh, this Bluetooth device onto your Christmas sack and then you can track it from this app in your phone. So if you are constantly losing your bag, please use Sack Finder. Okay, so that's our first sponsor we've ever had. It's very exciting. We're gonna start paying for things. It's not true. None of it's true. But yeah, I, uh, I was like, oh, this is the running through line in all of the, uh, the Santa stories. It's that he loses the magic bag. The magic bag that has all the toys in it so he can't then deliver them to all the girls and boys. Santa, keep track of the, like, maybe it should be in a case where you just open it Christmas Eve. Sir, what do you need? Somebody's saying something to me. I think someone's lost or trapped. I'm over here, buddy. You can come to me and I'll, I'll be, I'll be done in just a second, I swear. Uh, anyway, from all of us here in headquarters to all of you, merriest of Merry Christmases. Yeah, Merry Christmas. Uh, Merry Christmas to all of you. Merry

    Unknown: Christmas, everybody. Enjoy your Christmas.

    Natty Bumpercar: and i appreciate that you're trying to take a new tact with the christmas tree this year because it it's brutal having a tree here um this year was especially crazy because we uh we went to one store no and the christmas trees they were all like four feet tall they were tiny and they were trying to tell me that they were between six and seven feet and i was i'm six feet and so i was looking at the tree and i was just like am i a giant did i grow and my my wife is like oh this one it's fine and i was like it's tiny we can't have tiny tree what are you doing and the prices were more and more and more and more and more expensive too so we had to pack the kids back up which when you tell your kids that they're going to get a christmas tree and then you don't get said christmas tree because the store has tiny christmas trees and they're more expensive the kids don't understand any of that stuff and so what do the kids do they freak out what do you mean we're not getting christmas tree we were supposed to get a christmas tree we want a christmas tree like that it's it's bananas it's bedlam so the car we go back to the other place there's three places that we can potentially go there's probably a hundred but really there's three because i can't keep going after that i don't have it in me so we went to place number two last year place number two man you know we get nice pictures of the kids walking around the christmas trees it's nighttime there's little lights it's this beautiful it was kind of during the day there weren't a lot of trees because the kid was like there was just a really big rush sorry there's not a lot left a big rush all right well show me what you got show me show me what you got there's what is there's like a few kinds of christmas trees there's douglas fir there's ball balsam or something i don't know and there's see i don't know the names of the christmas trees oh man hold on what are the kinds of clouds cumulonimbus serious i don't know all the names of the clouds what's happened to my brain what are the names of the different kinds of rocks ah stalactite no i don't know anything oh no i can't remember things rain where did you go so all right anyway we get a specific kind of tree i don't know what kind it's called but i know it when i see it right and uh so we go we go to one tree and the kid's right on us too he's quote unquote helping us but he's right on us it was just like right when you walk into a store and you see a shirt you like or something and you walk over and you're just like oh look at that shirt do you want it do you want that shirt and he's like taking it out and like draping it over you you're like i no i don't know i just met this shirt all right i have no idea okay okay well and then he does this thing where he picks it up and he knocks it on the ground so that it's supposed to make it look better boom and then all the fronds and then he's like oh my god i don't know bro i don't just relax i just walk i just walk in i'm trying to make this an experience all right i'm trying to get in here walk around a bit with my sweet family look at some trees you know debate which kind we like better whatever learn the different types of this is why i don't know the types of trees because you go in and they kick you right out now i know all right the rocks and the clouds i can't explain that as much anyway last year we got a tree right it's like 40 bucks we'll say i don't really know it's kind of pricey and uh at the end they managed they managed to upsell me because i was in such a tizzy because the kids are so crazy do you want your christmas tree package and i was like yeah okay i don't know what is that and they told me they don't even know what it was like a bag and some stuff you put in the water and something i don't remember what else it was 15 what your tree has now gone up exponentially the price of it frustration but you're at that car already your family's there you've and you've already said yes to this thing and you're just like oh well now i'm stuck so this year i was i went in knowing when 10 that was weird how i said that i went in knowing that uh i was not going to be taken in such a way i was not going to be taken by the christmas tree guys so i waited for the christmas tree package thing to happen and i was like no no i'm good and then the guy goes to ring me up and uh it was i think 10 bucks more than price quoted and i was like what what happened and he's like oh yeah well you got the end lopped off and you got it uh you got it wrapped up and i was like what in my head i didn't know because i'm at a christmas tree place you can't really yell at a christmas tree place but i was like what those are things that you just do those are part of the service like if i'm at a restaurant and and i and i'm sitting there and what would you like some water i just had a glass of water all right that'll be 18 for a glass of water or or even better oh you you what's this extra charge you're seven dollars well you used the napkin that was on the table but the napkin was there the napkin is something that you use you lop off and you put it in the the stuff the net if you're they didn't even they would have charged me to put it on my car or something or i mean i would have figured it out but like you gotta tell a guy christmas is expensive there's expenses everywhere you can't just go adding stuff in terrible so and then i had to tip the kid because he's like you guys like yeah i'm from shader cove and he was like oh yeah i'm too and then i was i was gonna tip him anyway but i felt obligated because then he knows my town he knows me he knows where i live uh yeah

    Aloysious J. Pig: bubba car crazy uh i just think it's pretty amazing that i was sitting here by myself singing a nice song about the christmas tree and uh hello christmas tree and then all of a sudden you burst in with all your vim and vigor and start yelling about christmas tree buying and uh ruining my holiday my day here i was gonna i had a beautiful story about snowflakes i was gonna talk about penguins probably i was gonna talk about uh hot chocolate like regular chocolate chocolate versus white hot chocolate i don't know if you've even experienced that but they'll put marshmallows in it sometimes and your mind is just like blown what did i just drink is this sugar milk because it's delicious i'll be having two more cups of the sugar milk please especially if you got snowflake shaped marshmallows boom give it to me give it to me now give it to me give it to me wow give it to me give it to me uh-uh give it to me one time who said what oh sorry i don't know i'm just liking this thing song today i ain't complaining like you right well fine yeah i understand yeah i got oh yeah no no no okay tell the story tell that story that's a good story all right that's a crazy story do it do it do it so uh last night we're

    Natty Bumpercar: dinner and we're eating uh the kids are eating pizza bagels like mini pizza bagels uh one's got cheese on it one's got pepperoni on it and then uh ollie had uh little uh broccoli florets florets and uh some ranch dip to dip those in dip dip and uh i don't know applesauce or something anyway so i was helping to feed him and he's cramming the pizza bagels in in in in in in and then uh he was taking care of that so it's really my job to handle the broccoli because he's not gonna put he's not gonna eat that by himself he ain't gonna do it so i thought he had sufficiently uh eaten his pizza bagel but i guess he still had some in there and so i dipped a broccoli floret into some ranch dressing and uh i kind of popped into his mouth pop and knowing full well that maybe it was a little bit too big of a broccoli floret it wasn't huge i'm not gonna it wasn't enormous ginormous but it was maybe just a little too big and so chewing and uh and my wife goes ollie you okay and he's just looking at her she's like just keep chewing and he chews and he chews and uh then like oh we're gonna say 20 seconds later he gets this look at his face and she's like do you need to are you gonna throw up and he just kind of nods his head and then he leans over his plate and just kind of spits out the broccoli oh crisis averted everything is okay right no because then everything that he had just eaten oh onto the plate it was horrifying to see emerson lost his mind ran out of the room screaming right without even taking a break with his right hand oliver reaches around to the other side of the plate and this is a small plate people to the pizza bagel that was still intact that he had not lost yet and he grabs it and goes to pick it up and goes to start eating it he wasn't even done throwing up i don't have that kind of determination this kid's got some power people

    About This Episode

    In this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar shares a relatable parenting saga about his son Emerson and a beloved rug named Ruggy. After accidentally tracking dog poop onto the boys' bedroom rug, Natty faces days of complaints from Emerson about the soiled carpet. When Natty finally removes the rug, Emerson has an emotional meltdown over losing Ruggy, despite having complained about it for nearly a week. The situation escalates into a 15-minute parenting negotiation involving options, signatures, and the threat of Ruggy going to the curb forever. Natty also reflects on the challenge of telling each child he loves them equally, and reveals the incident may have been triggered by filming a Hershey chocolate eating challenge for their YouTube channel.

    Memorable Quotes

    “He's given the rug a name, the rug is named Ruggy, which I've never heard this rug have a name before.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I love you more than any Emerson in the whole entire world. That's how I have to get around that, because if I say I love you more than anything, then he immediately takes that as an affront against his brother.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “You have two options: rug in the basement, rug gets clean this weekend, happy rug, happy life. Or if you complain about said rug, Ruggy is gonna go away forever.”

me you did little funny bits his little whisper bit i was i loved it loved it so much so what that tells me is i am grooming the next generation of podcasters i apologize for that uh that is that is going to be on me it's my fault i uh speaking of him here's a crazy thing that happened uh his his in in in the boy's room there's a rug it's a white rug it's got circles on it uh they're kind of uh uh a really low uh not tone but color uh not not pastel quite but it's almost like they put colors like they're circles like it's like blue and yellow uh red and purple whatever and then they and then they like put the transparency on so they're there but they're kind of not there but they're it's just a nice simple rug uh and evidently someone uh my wife this is my wife she said someone was outside and tracked in what i can only assume is dog poop and there were two people in the room and they were like oh my god they're like oh my god they're like oh my god they're like oh my god they're like oh my god they're in the room when she had that conversation and she was looking directly at one of them and that one was me so she's under the assumption that i went out into the yard and uh put i think it's like six little spots of of dog poo on the kid's rug which i didn't mean to do and i was like fine i'll clean it i just hadn't had a chance emerson uh discovered the uh the

you're freaking out here's step three takes the rug away now you have two options and i drew arrows from the options option one then i just laid everything out again rug in the basement rug gets clean this weekend happy rug happy rug happy life or whatever it is and option two and i made sure i had him sign off on option one as in do you understand what option one is sign here yes okay perfect we can now move on to option two option two if daddy brings the rug back into your room the rug which is still dirty i will still clean it this weekend however if you complain about said rug in quotes ruggy then ruggy is gonna go away forever it was bad parenting on my part i think uh because again all he focused on was ruggy's going away ruggy's gone ruggy's out of his life i have effectively taken ruggy away from him and he was just like you're taking ruggy away from me because you hate me and i was just like i love you more than anything and then he goes more than ollie and i was just like i can't play that game right now i love you're my favorite emerson in the whole entire world on the whole planet i love you more than any emerson ever that's how i have to get around that because if i say i love you more than anything then he just immediately he has to take that as an affront against his brother i love you more than anything more than him no like come on i love you guys equally well then you don't love me more than anything ah well then i love you more than any emerson how about that at which point ollie goes but what about me and i'm like well i love you more than any oliver ever and ever in the whole world in the whole planet more than any oliver so basically i got him calmed down ruggy was still in the other room and he woke up in the morning like nothing had ever happened nothing ruggy's in the basement right now awaiting his cleaning which will happen now tomorrow morning and then he'll go back in the room he'll be bright fresh ready for a new day a brand new ruggy for a brand new year uh and my wife was like why did this happen and i was just like i don't know and then we looked back on the events of the evening and for our youtube channel which is still happening we all we do is film stuff for it i have to film it for you i'm still learning how to edit uh we had done the hershey challenge what is that that's where you eat as much chocolate as you can in two minutes so maybe that's what happened huh
