Bumperpodcast #374 – Nighttime crew

On today’s Bumperpodcast, Natty talks about how nightmares happen because of a lack of a labeling system in your brain. What?!

About This Episode

In episode 374, Natty Bumpercar gets candid about exhaustion after one of his four children experiences three nightmares in one night. Drawing from his middle-of-the-night comforting duties at 2:33 AM, Natty develops an elaborate theory about how the brain processes stress through a "day crew" and "night crew" filing system. He proposes that unlabeled emotional folders lead to nightmares, suggesting a color-coded organizational system for feelings to help the night shift brain workers process daily anxieties more effectively. Natty also shares his thoughts on creating helpful daily routines and structures for children while maintaining flexibility for spontaneous fun. This sleepy but thoughtful episode balances humor with genuine parenting wisdom about managing childhood stress and emotions.

Memorable Quotes

“I went to a grocery store and we walked around and we ate samples. I had a little flaky pastry with some cheese in it. They gave me a piece of steak at the sample booth. What kind of magical dreamlike store is this?”
— Natty Bumpercar

“The night crew opens it and they're like whoa whoa whoa we didn't deal with any of that stuff today. Let's just throw it all against the board and see what happens. The dream board as it were.”
— Natty Bumpercar

“You want to have it so it can bend a little bit. Be spontaneous. Go have some fun, loosen up, live a little bit. Within certain boundaries, within certain structures.”

Natty Bumpercar: well well well if it isn't the bumper pod casketeers my favorite people in the whole wide world hi there guys how's it going it's me natty bumper car and this is the bumper podcast and today we're gonna talk about being tired being so very tired one of my four children had three nightmares last night it was like a christmas carol but in the middle of uh march he had he had one one and he but he couldn't remember his his nightmares have you ever had nightmares before man i have and they can be so scary after he had his nightmares and i finally got to sleep um i didn't have a nightmare but i had a fun dream which is it's weird for me to say it's a fun dream but i went to a grocery store and i had a fun dream and i had a fun dream and grocery store with a couple of friends of mine and we walked around and we ate samples i mean it doesn't sound like a lot of fun i understand that but for me at the moment it seemed like the best kind of fun um i had this i had this a little uh a little pastry a little flaky pastry with some kind of cheese in it oh it was so good i had um a piece of steak they gave me a piece of steak at the sample booth i've never i've never had steak at a sample booth what kind of magical dreamlike store is this i don't know but when i was asking him about his dreams he couldn't remember all he remembered is that he was sad and scared and and it made me sad and so i i came into his bed and uh i i laid down so what we do is because he has you know a tiny little bed is his head's on one end then my head's on the other and then our feet are going in the opposite direction and that's just so we have you know a little bit a little bit of room right to to try to get back to sleep and then i take my my left hand and i kind of laid it down over his uh onto his legs and just kind of patted him just saying it'll be okay buddy it'll be okay it'll be okay and he calmed down and you know before we even he came into the room and got us and uh i gave him a big hug big tight bear and i said are you okay what's the matter are you gonna be you're gonna be okay you know daddy's here mommy's here we're we're here everyone is here and he said okay because he was very tired also it was the middle of the night when this happened and like like 2 33 in the morning that's very very early or late i guess it's it's this is a uh is your glass half full or half empty kind of it was very middle of the night we'll say that and so i got him back into bed and uh he actually he wanted a little a cup of water and then he used the restroom and then we got back into bed and i i patted his legs and i said it's going to be okay it's going to be okay now i have a theory and you can tell me what you think about this theory but i have a theory and my theory is if you're in uh if you have some sort of sort of stress some sort of tumult some sort of uh rough times during the day maybe that sometimes your brain doesn't want to deal with that rough stuff that stress at that moment and so your brain stores it all into a folder back in the back of your brain right into the your storage and then when you lay down the night crew comes in and uh takes over from the day shift they said hey see you later and they're like hey night shift we'll see you later and the night shift comes in and they've got this stack of folders you know from the day they're like okay we got to process all this stuff that happened during the day you know they start going through the folders oh look this we played kickball it's a little let's have a little kickball dream even if it's just a tiny dream oh this folder is very heavy and very dark and very oh well let's open it oh my goodness there's a lot of stress this child was worried about something oh what what in the world maybe it's that you have a test coming up maybe it's that somebody said something mean to you maybe your dog ate your ball or something like that you know all that stuff goes into your folder your sad scared worried angry folder whatever and then when this night crew opens it they're like whoa whoa whoa whoa we didn't deal with any of that stuff today you know what let's just throw it all against the board and see what happens what happens the dream board as it were and then you get to deal with whatever i guess comes from there so your brain hasn't dealt with whatever issues you had during the day you've internalized everything you've taken all your emotions and you've squished them squished them squished them squished them squished them squished them down into you and then at night they're like oh i gotta get out of here and then and then maybe you might you might have little nightmares which is sad right but understandable also you have a lot going on everybody's got a lot going on in their day in their minds not just like the normal stuff but maybe your schedule has been uh shifted around maybe things are a little bit different than they used to be and even just different can be enough to to to make you worried about things or uh to get you anxious or to get you angry and and you know if if you're too tired or whatever to or you're too busy to deal with uh that anxiety that that anxiousness that anger then you it all goes into that folder the night crew doesn't know what to do with it they just open it up and then boom bam boom whatever happens happens right i think that maybe a better way for the day crew to deal with this stuff is to label the folders right and so then the night crew's not coming into this blind the maybe we're gonna have uh you can even color code it right maybe blue for happy uh red for angry yellow for sad uh uh green maybe for worry i don't know purple you know like purple for silly makes sense right uh and then so then you can put all your your thoughts from the day into these folders and so then when they're done they're going to be in the folder the night crew comes along they can they can look at it and they can go okay you know what let's let's this looks like this uh angry folder sad folder is pretty thick tonight let's how about let's work through these other ones we're gonna leave this one here for the uh for the day crew or maybe we'll just take a little bit out of of that one and we can spread it in with the other stuff just to try to minimize the impact of the bad stuff because you know if the folders aren't labeled they don't have any idea what's in them and they're just gonna open it up and then wham bam you got a crazy dream man right which it it's bad because then if you have crazy dreams that keep you up at night then the next day you're tired right and that just means you're almost set up for more rough stuff to happen which is just going to keep filling up that bad folder which is just going to keep on making you anxious and making you worried and making you upset and without some sort of labeling system i'm telling you it's just going to become a spiral it's just going to keep happening it's going to come around going to keep coming around it's like a trolley car here it comes boom here it comes boom here it comes so we need to talk to the manager whoever is managing your brain i'm assuming it's you and we need to figure out uh a way to set up a good system for your uh daily activities your thoughts your feelings your emotions to be more properly labeled so that the night crew isn't coming in blind um and then from there i i can only see good things happening i can only imagine that uh things are gonna get better and better maybe not here's the thing too if we're going to transition to a whole new um system then there's going to be some bumps in the road there's gonna be some confusion there might even be some mislabeling which could lead to just oh who knows like let's let's say you have uh you're really really really really really really really angry about something and that ends up in the pink folder and they open up the pink folder expecting you know what i don't know bubble gum and rainbows and good times and then all of a sudden this angry thing in the oh it's just gonna that's gonna be we're gonna have to write up a report for that okay that's gonna have to be looked at we're gonna have to figure out where where where in the chain of command and here no one's gonna get into trouble because this is a brand new system and we're not the kind of company that's gonna you know point at people and say you did this but we are going to try to figure out how to make it better and how to not have that happen again okay so let's work on that i think it's become very important in my day trying to establish uh structures trying to establish uh a good foundation so like when i we've been putting up uh lists in the house so um when you wake up and there's like a nice piece of paper and it says um uh go potty brush your teeth make your bed right and then you know then go downstairs have some breakfast relax and then we'll start the day right and that even just like adding little things like that little constants are good for your brain because if your brain knows where it has to go it doesn't have to wake up and then think like what am i gonna do now it's like oh i'm just gonna go potty i'm gonna brush my teeth i'm gonna make my bed boom boom boom boom boom and then every day you get into a rhythm and the rhythm and the rhythm and it's gonna make you feel a little bit better i think that's my theory now there's variables right let's say you have uh lunch time on there and then you have go outside and play and it's raining well then we're gonna have to shift gears gotta be flexible too that's the thing when you have a system you don't want it to be a rigid system right a rigid system means it's not flexible you want to have it so that it can bend a little bit so it can so you can do other things too and and that allows you for the freedom to to move around a little bit right to be spontaneous it's spontaneous you know what that means it it means uh hey you're supposed to do this thing hey but do you want to do this thing and you're like yeah i'd love to do that thing you know if it was a rigid system you wouldn't be able to you'd be stuck doing the first thing but if we're a little bit flexible hey be spontaneous go do this other thing that's okay do you do what you want that's go have some fun loosen up live a little bit right within certain boundaries within certain you know structures it's all about structures um what i like about structures is kind of what i was saying it helps me to know what i'm supposed to do and then i can choose if i want to do it or not which is what i think you should do because you're awesome okay

Bumperpodcast #373 – Count On Me

On today’s Bumperpodcast, Natty tries to sing a song, and then he and pig discuss habitats …

About This Episode

In this episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar and Aloysius J. Pig discuss the concept of habitats after Pig reveals he's been taking four or five bubble baths a day. Their conversation about whether habitats apply only to animals or also to inanimate objects like cheese and socks gets hilariously derailed when Rufus T. Rufus bursts in to promote his new counting business, "Count On Me." The gang workshops Rufus's questionable theme song before eventually giving up on their original habitat debate. This lighthearted episode features the characters' trademark improvisational humor and tangential conversations that somehow circle back to environmental awareness.

Memorable Quotes

“The habitat for cheese is my belly. You do love cheese you do love cheese a lot huh.”
— Aloysius J. Pig

“You can count on me, but you can't count on yourself. That's terrible.”
— Rufus T. Rufus

“We're polluting our waters. Why would we do that? That's the animal's habitat. Oh, wait a minute. Now we're getting a thing where the habitats are fighting each other.”

Natty Bumpercar: hey Aloysius what what are you doing what you doing I'm not whatever you're doing I'm not doing you're singing a song you're singing why are you singing a song that's what we do now but it's not we just talk remember come on man no I'm not gonna because that's not how we operate sing your part I don't have a part fine okay to just talk to the people the way you normally talk to the people okay this hand clapping thing it's weird I don't it's not I mean it was a good beat thanks I'm not gonna lie to you I like it so anything new Aloysius anything you're up to any uh any anything at all nothing I can think of off the top of my head um you know I did I did walk around the uh the yard the other day and I saw um some flowers coming up oh that means spring is gonna happen yeah it means spring is gonna happen yeah I saw some bumblebees oh the sun was up in the sky I took a nap in the hammock haha hammock good one yeah like because you're a pig and it's like a hammock like hey what is what did the pig take a nap in it was a hammock I get it yeah I guess you get it yeah get it so uh that's what I've been up to you know a lot of sleeping a lot of napping uh a bath like four or five times a day bubble bath uh moisturize I don't want to get dry skin uh drinking a lot of water yeah it's good that's healthy you gotta drink you gotta hydrate you gotta stay hydrated you gotta you gotta drink a lot of water I like that you're taking a lot of baths um I was wondering though why our water bill was so high but now I know here's the thing pig if you um just you can just wash your your little hooves your hooves your hooves your hooves no they're hooves your hooves they are hooves come on look at them look at them look at these what are these what are these my hooves those are your hooves um I think maybe that I mean taking a bath once a day is great uh but maybe four times a day that's we're gonna use up all the bubbles uh and it's you know it's not great for the environment the fish needs somewhere to sleep and if you're taking all your baths then the fish aren't gonna have a home so that's that's not nice kind of like the people next to us we had a nice wooded lot and uh somebody came and where all the deer lived there were families and families of deer who would wave at us every morning on their way to work I remember one time the daddy deer he went out he was holding his a cup of deer coffee and he was buying he was picking up his deer newspaper he's he was still wearing his little deer robe and uh I was I was in the driveway and he looked over at me and he just kind of raised his little mug as if to say good morning good morning and then uh but then they took all the woods away and now the deer they've moved on to somewhere else they didn't even leave like a forwarding address so if we get their mail we can we don't even know where to send it so I don't what's the I don't understand the connection okay well yeah the point is I'm saying the deer had a habitat which is where animals live like habitat is is is what you would call an area where things live so for instance uh the habitat for rhinoceros might be uh in Africa right or the habitat for um I'm trying to think of a good example mosquitoes is Florida um the habitat for cheese is my belly ah you do love cheese you do love cheese a lot huh uh so that's like hay's habitat is in my because that's where hay lives right yeah I mean I yes yes yes uh no I think habitat is more for animals and not as much for things so like for instance my sock drawer is not the habitat for my socks I don't think but maybe we should find some sort of an expert that could uh could tell us all this stuff oh no well I say I say I say I heard that you was looking for an expert in something and anytime I hear the word expert I realize that I Rufus T. Rufus am being called to answer some sort of a question because I don't know if you know this but I am not just a lawyer but I am also a whiz at knowledge of things and I'm not just a lawyer but I am also a whiz at knowledge of things and I'm don't know if you wouldn't believe a buncha more easy things than this you know the first thing I do is I talk about you know STEEL and esta and stuff I know all sorts of things if you understand what I'm saying you know he's got a good point there Nattie uh Rufus he one time he I dropped a whole uh box of toothpicks and he looked down and he said 7 14 and I said what is that and he said that's how many toothpicks no are on the floor that's so it's a guess he guessed it doesn't mean okay but he's an expert like counter is what I'm saying he's good at counting no and count on him No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, I… He's not an expert. Did you actually count the toothpicks when you picked them up, or did you just take his word for it? Because he's been known to fib every so often, or all the time. I regret that indubitably, because I never make stuff up. I may twist the truth from here to yonder, but I would never, ever make up a facsimile of the truth. And I do remember that day, Aloysius, that the toothpicks fell, and I counted them immediately on the floor, and I started up a new business on top of my law firm, and it's called Count On Me, because I can count things quickly. So if you have, let's say, a stack of nails, I can look at it, and I'll tell you how many nails you have. So if you have a job, and you know you need 173 nails, I can tell you if you've got 173 nails, or maybe you have 145 nails. That's not enough. You need 173. You can count on me. We have a theme song, too. Hold on one second. You can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. You can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Because you can't count on yourself. But wait. No, you can't. That's terrible. But you can always count. Count on me. Okay. I'm trying to be nice. I'm thrilled that you have your own business, and it's a very specific business where you count things for people. And I'm amazed that people pay you for it. And I'm really impressed that you came up with a theme song, but I don't like in a theme song where you say you can't count on yourself. That doesn't seem very nice at all. I don't like how it… What that says. I think it's just, I think he was just trying to be catchy. Cause it's just like, you can count on me. You can count on, but you can't count on yourself. Yeah. I don't like it either. It's not nice. How about we could switch it up? Let's make that our exercise for today. Let's think of a better way to frame the argument. Not, not that it's an argument. We're not fighting or nothing. You can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. You can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. But you can't count on yourself. Count on yourself. I was going right back to the same thing. Yeah, see, you was going right back cause it's just a natural progression. You can count on me, but why do you need to count on me? Why can't you do it yourself? Maybe you're too busy. Ooh. Busy. Busy. That's it, that's it. Hold on one second. See, you can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. You can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Because, or when. It's when you. Aren't too busy. So, you can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. You can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. When you get too busy, you can count on me. That sounds much nicer. You know what? I'm glad we workshopped this. I'm glad that we talked this through. I appreciate you guys. And if you ever need to count anything, you know what? You can count on me. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. See you later, Rufus. Thanks for stopping by. Head on out. We'll see you later. Okay. We'll count on you. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. See you later. That was exciting. He didn't answer. The more exciting part. He didn't answer the question. You like said something and he appeared to give you some sort of knowledge and then he just disappeared, which means he's just kind of gone, which means we don't have to put up with him, which is amazing. Okay. That was a win-win for everything. What were we talking about before he came in here? I don't even remember. I don't even remember. I don't even remember. I don't even know. I think it had something to do with socks, environment, habitats. We were talking about habitats. That's what we were talking about. We were trying to figure out if habitats are just for living things like bears or pigeons, I guess, or if they can be for other things. Like, because I said cheese and then I said socks and you said hay for your sty. So he came, but he was talking about something completely different. And we never got even to ask him a question, and he left. So you know what? I think that we're just going to have to do some research and figure that out ourselves. What is a habitat? Who does it mean? Like, who does it stand for? Does it stand for animate objects, which are like living things or inanimate objects, too, which are like non-living things? Like, for instance, is the habitat for garbage? The, the, the, the landfill? I don't know. I know one place that is definitely not the habitat for garbage. That's the ocean. That's a big problem. We're polluting our waters. Why would we do that? That's the animal's habitat. Oh, wait a minute. Now we're getting a thing where the habitats are fighting each other. The garbage habitat versus the animal habitat. My mind is officially blown. Yeah, I'm going to go take a nap. My head hurts. This is too much thinking. We normally don't think quite this much on the Bumper Podcast. By the way, Natty, tell everybody who's new here, the Bumper Podcast-cateers, to go subscribe and like and rate the podcast because we love doing it, but we love to hear your feedback. And we take all your words very seriously, probably. That's me, Aloysius J. Pig. If you get bored on Facebook. If you go to Facebook. If you go to the official Natty Bumper Car Facebook page, we're going to be doing videos for the time being every day, little 15-minute videos, just to ease your boredom a little bit because, you know, we are kind of stuck inside, and so that'll be a fun thing to do. Maybe we'll learn something. I doubt it. Thanks, Pig. But maybe. It'll be fun. I promise. Good night, everybody. Night, Pig. So, yeah, I'm Natty Bumper Car. I'm a comedian. We make a family-friendly, fun podcast, and we want you to listen to it. You guys who listen, you're the Bumper Podcast Cateers, and I love you. You're awesome. Stay safe. Keep your hands clean.

Unknown: is my mostest favoritist why why is popcorn most because she's still just a baby i know you're old

Natty Bumpercar: you're but she's gonna turn seven uh march 31st that's her birthday i know can you believe that yeah we're like we're in she's almost a year old can you yeah she's probably

Unknown: six years old right now. Probably. And then she's going to turn seven.

Natty Bumpercar: So wait, that means she'll be as old as Oliver. Yes, I know. Oh, that's crazy. So there'll be two seven-year-olds in our house.

Unknown: And then next year she'll be 14.

Natty Bumpercar: So she'll, and how old will you be? 11? That's, so she's going to be the, she's going to be

Unknown: the oldest. No, you're not going to

Natty Bumpercar: really care. No, she won't be my mostest, favoritest anymore because she won't be my baby.

Unknown: Ollie will. Ollie will. Oh, that's right. He'll only be eight.

Natty Bumpercar: Yeah, and you'll be 11 and she'll be 14. Yeah. That's kind of bananas. Frank. I don't remember. I didn't call you Frank. Do you remember, do you know your friend Peter? Yeah. So I was talking to him and he had a really interesting concept. He said, um, it was about dog years and, oh, I can't remember it. I can't believe it. But he said something about dog years and then he, um, you know what stinks? I just call, I had to make a phone call because I couldn't remember what he said and then the person that I talked to who I had told it to also couldn't remember. So we have lost an integral part of knowledge. A very special bit of knowledge about dog years and now I'm sad. Are you just going to crunch on ice? Yeah. Is that good? Do you think that's good for your teeth? No. I've heard it's not, but I don't really know. It seems like it's ice. Is it going to hurt them? I don't think it will. Maybe it could. I don't chew ice except for so the ice that you have in your mouth is kind of, it's hard ice, right? No. But it is. But they make this ice that there's like little pellets and they're softer and they're like wonderful to chew on. Like amazing to chew on. That's where you ate today. Did you like it? Yes, it was good. It hurt my stomach. Everything hurts my stomach these days. All I can eat anymore is… It used to.

Unknown: Remember when it always hurt my stomach when I ever eat? Every time you ate anything

Natty Bumpercar: you would say, what would you say? Oh, daddy my tummy hurts.

Unknown: No, my stomach hurts. Oh, my tum-tum. My

Natty Bumpercar: rummy tum-tum hurts. What's that mean? I don't know. I was just making up a silly word. Yeah, I do remember that. And now daddy's tummy hurts every time he eats. Scribble. Scribble. You know what that is? So, Emerson just found a basketball that's in our basement where we record and it's got the word scribble on it because when I used to live in Brooklyn, New York when I went to Pratt Institute I would go and play basketball on the courts and my name was Scribble. Because every time I dribbled I would scribble around the court and I would miss the basket. Really? Yeah, I love basketball but I'm not very good at it. I didn't play it growing up and so I don't have all those skills that you might

Unknown: need to have. You played football growing up and then you

Natty Bumpercar: hurt yourself. No, I played soccer growing up. My whole life I played soccer until I was a sophomore in high school so I was probably 14? 15? 16? No, I was probably 15 and I stopped playing. I didn't make the team so I couldn't play soccer anymore. I know, sad. And then I played senior year I played football. And then he hurt his knee. Knee? Yeah, not my high knee but my knee.

Unknown: And then he almost died. Nope,

Natty Bumpercar: that didn't happen. But what did happen it was before, do you know this story? No. So

Unknown: Oh, you didn't even get to play.

Natty Bumpercar: I didn't. In junior year I was playing in PE we were outside playing flag football and It was flag? Well, no, no, no so we were playing flag football in PE like in, you know how you have gym? Yeah, gym. Yeah, and so we were outside and we were playing it and our PE coach was the football coach for the next year. He was new. And he came up to me and he had a real southern accent. He said, son, you ever played football before? Like that. And I was just like no? Because I was really skinny and I was really small but I was really fast. And I was like, no, I never played football. Why would I do that? And he's like, next year you're gonna play on the varsity team. Like that. And I was like, okay. And so then I had to start going to practice and practice for high school football was like five, six times a week. It was all the time. The school bought my equipment, like my pads and my helmet, everything. They bought it for me. And then there were football camps over the summer.

Unknown: Wait, do you still have the stuff around?

Natty Bumpercar: No, it was so long ago. I don't have any of it. Sad. I know.

Unknown: Did it have the Georgia sign?

Natty Bumpercar: No, that was before I went to Georgia. This was in high school.

Unknown: Oh, what did it look like?

Natty Bumpercar: It was blue and gold and it was I went to a place called St. Pius and we were the St. Pius, I don't even remember, Golden Lions. We were the Golden Lions. The Golden Lions. And and so

Unknown: Wendy the Pooh played.

Natty Bumpercar: Wendy the Pooh played, yeah. And it's hot. And honey broke. And Eeyore, his honey broke? Yeah, and Eeyore's tail fell off. Oh, that's so sad. Did they lose the game? Yeah, but

Unknown: Eeyore's tail always falls off. Why does it

Natty Bumpercar: always fall off? I don't know. It feels like they should find a solution for that. And Tigger. Yeah, Tigger's just jumping around. What does he say? And then they got tackled hard. Wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things. Their tops are made out of rubber and their bottoms are made out of springs. They're bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I ain't the only one. Oh, I'm the only one.

Unknown: Um, wait, no. He got tackled and got a concussion. Who did?

Natty Bumpercar: Tigger? Tigger. Oh, no. So did the doctors take care of him? No. No? Was Piglet? He wasn't on the field, was he? He's too tiny.

Unknown: He juked everyone out. Really?

Natty Bumpercar: Yes. What about Kanga and Roo? Did they play? No. Kanga was watching and Roo was rooting? Yeah. And Owl?

Unknown: Um, we don't want to talk about that. Oh,

Natty Bumpercar: something awful happened to Owl. So do you know what happened? So I went through we had summer practice. Yeah. And then we had something called two-a-days. And two-a-days are where you have a practice in the morning and then another practice in the afternoon. Wow. So you're practicing for like six hours, eight hours a day. And this is two weeks before school starts. You're at school every day. Eight hours. Boom. Practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice. Because they want you to be ready for the season. And that's in rain. That's in hot. It's everything. And I in the first week I ran straight and then I cut to my right and then I went back to the left. And when I did that, my knee went kablumble. Like that. It went kablumble. And I was like, ow, that hurts. But I was young and I was kind of I didn't know. And I was just like, well, I hurt my knee, but I still played on it for a day or two. And then the team doctor came and I said, hey, my knee feels funny. And he did this little test. And he was like, oh, no. Oh, no. Did your knee go kablumble? And I was like, it did go kablumble. And so then I had to go. They took me to a hospital. And I had to get an MRI. Which, you know, the CAT scan that you were going to get? I hated it. So it's like that. But it was for my knee. So I didn't have to. My head didn't have to go in. But it was like this. It was kind of like a super x-ray is what we'll call it. MRI stands for, I think, magnetic resonance imaging. And it's so scary. But then they found out that my knee was busted. And so they did surgery on it. Orthoscopic. Where they put tiny, tiny, tiny little things in my knee and tried

Unknown: to fix it. Nothing happened. It didn't work.

Natty Bumpercar: No, it did not. And then I went to physical therapy and I was on crutches for the whole season. And so I'd get to go to pep rallies. Do you know what a pep rally is? No. So a pep rally is like when all the students gather around in one room and they cheer on the team. Where they're like, Go Golden Lions! And I was out in the middle of the floor like, Yeah, I'm a Golden Lion. Look at me. And then the last game of the season, the coach asked me, he wanted me to dress up in uniform. Dress out. Get in uniform. I was like, okay. And I was standing on the sideline. And then with just, I mean, like 20 seconds to go in the game, he goes, Bump a car. Get in there. And I was like, what? Do what? He was like, get in the game. And I was like, oh no, no. What? Because I didn't know what to do. So I went in the huddle. We were on offense. I was a wide receiver. And I was terrified. And I said to the quarterback, I was like, I don't know what to do. I don't know where to stand. I don't know anything. He's like, just go over there. Stand. When I say hut, run. I was like, I can do that. I know how to do that. So he goes, hut, hut, hut. And he gets the ball. And I run. And as a wide receiver, you're the guy who catches the ball. And there's a guy called a defensive back. And he's the one who tries to stop you from catching the ball. And so, I was supposed to run out, bounce off that guy, and then cut to the inside. That was my plan. But when I went, I bounced to bounce off of him. He grabbed me with both hands and picked me up off the ground, because he was a really big guy. And then he said, get off me. And he threw me down. And then the time of the clock ran off. And the referee whistle went, like that. And the game was over. That was my football experience. Who lost? Oh, we lost by a lot.

Unknown: No, they cheated.

Natty Bumpercar: No, they didn't cheat. They just were better than us.

Unknown: Why did they say, get off me?

Natty Bumpercar: Uh, I don't know. I think he didn't like that I bounced off of him. But that's what I thought I was supposed to do. That's what I did.

About This Episode

In this charming episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar discovers a sick bug in his home and decides to help rather than squish it. He has a delightful conversation with Zippy the Bug, a young bed bug who stayed home from bug school due to illness from staying up too late at bug parties. Zippy reveals he can't fly but can climb walls, and has mysteriously forgotten his siblings' names after just two days. After safely releasing Zippy outside, Natty reflects on the season of sickness, shares a story about his son sleeping on the bathroom floor, and teaches listeners about the phrase "cold feet" (or "kolde fader" in Danish). The episode wraps with Natty's ongoing saga of Popcorn the dog eating everything and an expensive vet visit.

Zippy the Bug (Guest): um well i really remember because like they were i was like super for like two days and

Natty Bumpercar: Two whole days? Yeah. Oh, no. And you forgot your brother and sister's name already?

Unknown: Yeah.

Natty Bumpercar: Oh, no. What is your name? I just realized I didn't even ask you that. Zippy. Oh, Zippy the bug. That's a great name for a bug. Oh, okay. Well, if I let you out here, do you think you can find your family? Yeah. Okay. Because I don't want you to get lost or anything. Hey, listen. If you ever need anything, you can come back and just ring the doorbell and I'll come and answer, okay?

Zippy the Bug (Guest): Okay. Alright.

Natty Bumpercar: Alright. We'll see you later, Zippy the bug. Feel better. Okay. Bye.

Zippy the Bug (Guest): Bye.

Natty Bumpercar: Holy cow, Bumper Podcast. I didn't expect that at all. We had a fun guest stop by. Zippy the bug. Love Zippy the bug. I'm sorry that Zippy doesn't feel well. It was also, I was very sad that Zippy doesn't remember the name of his brother and sister. It was very, that worries me. I hope he's alright. I think after I finish recording this podcast that I'm gonna go and check on Zippy and make sure that he's okay. When I was holding onto him, I could tell he has a little temperature and I don't have a bug thermometer or anything, but I could just kind of tell by the way he was, he seemed like he was moving kind of slow, a little bit groggy, and he just evened through the napkin. A little bit warm. A little bit warm. It's that kind of season though, right? It's the time of year where a lot of people are getting sick. There's stomach bugs going around. Oh, a stomach bug. Wait a minute. That's not that kind of bug at all. Then there's like little colds, little fevers, and all this poor, poor people getting feeling, feeling rough by my, we have Oliver who's the younger, and then Emerson who's the older, and last week Emerson had a bit of a stomach problem, and he had to come home from school and there was one night where he didn't feel good, and I ended up, we both ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor because it was cool, and he said that made him feel better, and because he wanted to be in there, just in case things happened. I don't need to talk about what things happened, but just in case things happened, and we'll leave it at that. But luckily, knock on wood, he feels better, and his brother Oliver, he's done very fine, but now we got this Zippy the Bug feeling sick, so it's going around. Take care of yourself. Wash your hands. Wash your hands several times a day, and try not to touch your eyes or your nose. Keep your little fingers away from your face because that's how the germs will get in, and I don't want you to get sick. Okay? I want you to feel good because when you feel good, I feel awesome. I don't really know that. I'm assuming that. Yeah, I'm going to say that. If you feel good, then I feel good. Right? That's a good way to be. It's like if you see your friends doing well, if they're succeeding at something, if, you know, maybe if there's a school play and they get on the play, yeah, you gotta build them up because that's what friends do. You build each other up. You make each other feel good about things. I have some friends of mine and they don't always do that. It's more of a you knock your friends down a little bit and it's like, hey, man, that means we're really friends. And I'm like, wait, that doesn't make any sense. We're really friends and so you hurt my feelings? That doesn't seem to make any sense at all. No, no, no, man, we're really good friends because I made you feel bad. That just seems like you're somebody who's who knows a lot about me and then uses that to make me feel rotten. I don't want to feel rotten. I'm not an egg. I don't think eggs want to feel rotten either, though. I don't want to I don't want to pigeonhole eggs into feeling a certain way. You know what, eggs? You do you. You go feel how you want to feel. Anyway, guys, this is the Bumper Podcast. I'm Natty Bumpercar and it's cold outside. I went to take the kids to school today and for some reason I forgot to wear shoes and to go from the front door into the car and then I do a drive-around drop-off and I forgot to wear shoes and I I was so cold. I was like, I wanted to cry. I was like, why wouldn't I wear shoes? I need shoes on my feet. But, you know, mistakes are made. That wasn't how we wanted to start the day, certainly, with cold feet. Have you ever heard the phrase cold feet? It's if, like, it's something that people say where if they're nervous to do something. Like, let's say you wanted to audition for the big school play, right, with your friend, but you didn't do it because you got nervous and so someone could say, oh, hey, why didn't you why didn't you go audition for the big school play? And you could be like, oh, I got cold feet. I don't know where it comes from. I feel like I'm going to research. I'm going to do some research. We're going to learn on the Bumper Podcast. Well, did you guys realize that cold feet, it's kind of like anxiety. It's like you're having second thoughts. It's like you're feeling a little bit timid about something. Like you're almost weak in the knees about something. It's like you have reservations about something. It's, you want to back out of a situation that you're in. These are all various ways of saying you have cold feet. And so I found a definition for it. It's a phrase which refers to a person not going through with an action. You've got cold feet. It's, it's, it's, I don't know. You can have stage fright. That's another way of saying cold feet. And I don't know if I can, if I can find it. Ah, yes. This is my favorite. Here's how you say cold feet in Danish. Kolde fader. So, I think you should start saying that. Bumper Podcast Gatiers, we don't get cold feet. We get kolde fader. Why didn't you go to that big meeting? Kolde fader. Why didn't you subscribe to the Bumper Podcast and leave a nice review and five stars? Kolde fader. That's so fun. I love that we learned something. We learned that bugs do in fact get sick and have to stay home from school and that they can in fact forget their brothers and sisters' names. And we also learned about cold feet. Kolde fader. And, you know, I think we had a nice time. Things I didn't tell you about. Well, Popcorn the dog continues to eat everything in the world. I took her to the vet and I said, Dear vet, I think that maybe this dog is in fact not a dog but a goat. And he looked at her and he looked at me and he said, Sir, that's clearly a dog. And I said, I think it's a goat. And he said, Dog. And I said, Goat. And we did that back and forth for a while. And then he said, Okay. Well then, take your dog and go. And the bill is $300. And I went to the front desk to pay and when they showed me that bill, I went to pull my wallet out and I didn't. Can you guess why? Kolde fader. Alright. Keep your feet warm. Go do what you're supposed to do. Don't get sick. Wash your hands. Looking out for you, Bumper Podcast. Looking out for you. You know why? Because you're the best.
