    Natty Bumpercar: oh the weather outside is frightful but the wait that seems like a song I should know oh the weather outside is frightful but the something is so delightful so delightful hey guys it's me natty bumper car and it's it's snowed it's it's snowed why did it snow I uh don't know if you know this about me not a fan of snow I love to look at it I think it's beautiful I love to sit in front of a fireplace in a warm toasty cabin and watch as the beautiful snowflakes flitter and flutter all around the world and then they land and they look so pretty and they they uh they make the whole uh the world just look like a like a crystal castle no they make the world look like a fluffy powdered donut and better better uh but then what I do not enjoy is uh walking in it touching it falling in it getting it thrown at me shoveling it none of that stuff do I enjoy I kind of like sledding if I'm to be honest uh I uh do not like tubing tubing is where you go to a mountain you pay people money to uh go to the top slide down go to the top slide down go to the top slide down and you're like wait a minute natty that sounds like a lot like sledding and I'm like yeah there's so much more you have to pay money and then you have to wait in line and I don't know I like finding a hill finding a pizza box and just sitting on it and slide down here's the thing pizza boxes don't work I don't I've seen people like I use a cardboard to bog it I'm like nope nope that's just gonna get soggy and wet and fall apart what about if you uh hey I use a uh the lid for my trash can do you okay that sounds like a great idea you want to sit in trash can lid ah no thank you what about uh oh you know what here's my favorite actually as uh when mice sit on spoons and they can uh hold the uh the handle of the spoon and slide down that's that's my favorite that's my favorite right there I uh so we we did get we got 6.6 inches of snow I was just told which is a lot of snow and it uh it's one of those things where because we have to shovel the driveway and you have to shovel the walkway and you don't want to do it while it's still snowing because then it's just gonna snow on it again and then you're gonna do it all again no thank you so I waited I didn't shovel last night until 10 o'clock that's late and then I was trying to be a conscientious shoveler and not be loud about it so it's like I don't want this scraping noise to keep the neighbors up and so I tried to to not do that and then I woke up this morning there's more snow are you kidding me let's get on the schedule let's get on the same page all right okay man I listened to the last episode of the bumper podcast which I apologize was like last year and uh my voice was pretty amazing I even I was trying to figure out how to do it and I it's not I think I must have been sick I guess I don't know something something was going on something was in the air something was in the water I'll have what she's having I um so I have to uh the kitties or the kitties were home yesterday oh guys happy Thanksgiving did you did you give thanks can I tell you my menu I made so much food what did you make all the food all the food yes all the food ginger orange honey glazed carrots yeah I made those truffle oil uh caper lemon uh what are they called cauliflower with Parmesan oh yeah I did that Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic vinegar yeah I did that too there's a lot of food a lot of food delicious food we had a 17 people over and I was it was just a wonderful day it was a wonderful day y'all here's the thing that I like to do because we we host Thanksgiving every year and once the meal is out and everyone is is you know making their plates I'm the one who uh goes around the table and I force people to uh to say what they're thankful for what they're grateful for and people really get a poo-poo it they're like oh I don't want to do this but here's the thing I think it's very important I think it's it's it's very important to verbalize what you're thankful for you can you can say oh in my head I'm thankful for these things I'm thankful for the person next to you and maybe they don't get to hear it enough right maybe maybe just saying it makes it more real in my world that's what I think so we go around the table and I say you know uh what are you thankful for and then I may may I may even pepper with a couple of follow-up questions I think that's a good thing to do too I think the art of conversation is is dwindling which makes me sad but that's okay we just have to keep working at it um speaking of conversation here's a cool thing that we started doing in my house uh one of my children who shall remain nameless uh if if you say for instance uh hey buddy uh don't hit your brother because that does happen I'm not gonna lie to you hey buddy don't hit your brother the response is fine it's an angry fine you know what that means nothing fine it's a dismissive it's a knee-jerk reaction it's the first thing there fine and you're like oh no and so for years we've lived with fine and we uh and I would get really frustrated with fine and I would say don't say fine to me that doesn't mean anything that means you're just you're not even listening to what I'm asking you to do and so then I finally I came upon a really cool way of dealing with fine and that is if I say hey buddy stop hitting your brother and he says fine I say no I need you to repeat to me what I just said to you so it's kind of the same way as the thankful stuff where it's forcing him to stop and verbalize what I just asked him to do which in theory this is a theory I don't know if it's real uh make it stick a little bit better. Hey, buddy, don't do that thing. I'm not going to do that thing. Awesome, buddy. Thank you so much as you were. We've only had it for like two days, but it's so far. Fingers are crossed. It's working out. Here's another cool trick. Sometimes in my house, there's a lot of dysregulation, a lot of anxiety that goes on, which sometimes leads to unhappiness, explosions as they were. And so one of the ways that we figured out how to help with those moments of anxiety was to get the kid and you say, hey, buddy, I need you to look around the room and find five things that are orange. And he will do that, but he will go that, that, that, that, that. And you're like, nope, nope, nope. I need specifics. That orange ball, the orange dot on the clock, the orange handle of that spoon, whatever it is. Actually, orange is tough. We don't have a lot of orange things in my house, to be honest. I should have gone with red. We have a lot of red things. But it's cool because, in theory, it helps him to get out of whatever's going on in his mind and look around and focus on other things. And so it's kind of two cool techniques that we've started trying to use in the house to help things along a little bit. Now, if only we could find a way to help the puppy dog, because she won't look at anything. Hey, popcorn. Stop eating those socks. Fine. Don't say fine to me. Woof. Don't say woof to me. Say I'm not going to eat the socks. Popcorn, calm down. I need you to find three things that are blue. Woof. No, be more specific. Woof, woof. All right. Good job. I had a show the other week, and I was talking about my kids, and I was talking about how, their poor diet and how they kind of eat garbage. And I was like, ah, they're trying to get my kid to eat good food, and he just wants to eat chips. Chips all the time. He got really upset. He says, hey, I have the worst life ever because you won't let me eat chips. And I was like, that's not, that is not grounds for having the worst life ever. You have a great life. And so I was on stage, and I was talking about, I was relaying this story, and I said, ah, my kid eats like a goat. He'll eat trash. He eats garbage. Wait a minute. My kid is a kid. I was so happy because I never thought of that. And then I was just like, ah, my kid is a kid. And I went, like that, like a goat. And then I was like, ah, don't talk to your mom like that. Ah. Ah. Ah. Weird goat noises I'm making. I usually do better goat.

    Unknown: Ah. Ah. Ah.

    Natty Bumpercar: There we go. Ah.

    Unknown: Ah.

    Natty Bumpercar: Ah. Ah. Clean up your room. Ah. Ah. Put away your iPad. Ah. Ah. Find, find three things in the room that are yellow.

    Unknown: Ah.

    Natty Bumpercar: Ah. Man. What's tougher to raise? Human children or goat kids? I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to go think about it. Maybe come up with another weird solution. Hey, Bumper Podcast, I love you guys. I'm glad I have my voice back. I'm glad I'm feeling top notch. You're amazing. So amazing.

    About This Episode

    In episode 362, Natty Bumpercar wakes up with a raspy voice that makes him sound like a robot or Alexa, confusing his children who won't follow his instructions. Despite his wife's concerns, Natty insists on still attending their expensive water park hotel trip scheduled for the next day. The episode takes a hilarious turn when Natty tries to teach his fibbing son about trust using the boy who cried wolf story, only to have the child fall asleep before learning the moral. Throughout the rambling episode, Natty explores the concept of correlation, battles with daylight saving time fatigue, and demonstrates his signature improvisational comedy style while dealing with his temporary voice transformation.

    Memorable Quotes

    “They didn't recognize my voice. I was like, all right, guys, time to get your shoes on. And they were just like, Alexa, stop telling us to put our shoes on.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “Just cause I have a funny voice doesn't mean I can't water park. I can water park with the best of them. Get me on a slide. Get me on the corkscrew.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “The wolf ate the sheep. And I was like, cool. I don't know about the sheep. But the boy, yeah, he got eaten. That's the whole point of the story.”

    Natty Bumpercar: so last night something crazy happened and this is this is my voice now and uh i guess i got sick i don't know it's weird i actually feel pretty okay it's just my throat uh is making this sound a lot and um you know if i'm to be completely honest i think that i wish that this was my voice not all the time but sometimes because it's it's crazy like this is watch i can let me see hello how are you doing i am doing fine thank you very much it sounds like a robot i have to like pull my chin in when i do that um so this happened last night and i uh i went i tried to go to bed early but it doesn't ever work out well for me and then this morning the children woke up at 5 15 in the morning which is so early they were up so early that uh even the dog was like hey it's too early to wake up i'm a puppy and i even i understand this is too early uh we just went through i think it's daylight savings time, which we're saving some daylight. All right. You know, but it's confused everyone. It's thrown the whole week off. And now this, this voice. And this morning I was trying to get the children ready to go to school. And I was in the other room and I was just like, all right, guys, time to get your shoes on. And they didn't, they ignored me. They didn't, they didn't recognize my voice. And I was, I was like, all right, guys, time to get your shoes on. And they were just like, Alexa, stop telling us to put our shoes on. And I was like, I'm, I'm not Alexa. I'm, I'm your, I'm your dad. I'm your daddy. So now here's the bananas thing is tomorrow. We, uh, are supposed to go to one of those crazy water park hotels because the kids have a couple of days off of school. And, uh, and so, I mean, I, I just booked it too, like the other day and Ooh, is it spendy? Yes, it is. And it's a water park. And if I have this, my wife was like, well, you're not going. And I was like, but I am going. And I was like, I want to go to the water park too. Just cause I have a funny voice. Doesn't mean I can't water park. I can water park with the best of them. Get me on a slide. Get me on the corkscrew. I'll check out a lazy river too. You know, where's the hot tub. So I don't know how it's going to work out though. If I'm to be completely honest. I got in trouble too, because I was told I had four, uh, four shows last week in a row for four nights of shows. And, uh, this was the last week. And, and my wife was like, well, obviously it's cause you were out for four nights last week. And I was like, that was last week. Why am, why am I, I'm not sick now because of last week, last week was a whole week ago. I mean, it's really, it was only a few weeks ago. I mean, it's, it's, it's only a few days ago for him to be completely honest, but, uh, I don't see any correlation bumper podcast. Cateers. Do you know what correlation means? It means kind of, of an overlap of, uh, facts of, of data points or data points. So, oh, you can be like, oh, look, this data point lines up with that. Oh, and it seems like there's a correlation. Oh, what do you say? Uh, the car was rolling down the hill and the break, uh, was on, but I think the break isn't working. I don't know if that's a correlation. I'm having a difficult time just describing, explaining what a correlation I know what a coronation is. Now a coronation is, uh, when someone like a king or a queen is given their throne and their crown, they're coronated. Uh, but that's not what we were talking about. Obviously we were talking about a correlation and I have in the last 10 seconds looked up what a correlation is and it is a mutual relationship. It's a relationship or connection between two or more things. Uh-huh. So I was correct. Recher, recher, research. I was trying to say research. Research showed a clear correlation between recession levels. Oh, that's not a nice correlation. We don't have to talk about that. I should have read that before. How about this? Research shows a direct correlation between recession levels. Oh, that's not a nice correlation. We don't have to talk about that. Okay. We have a situation between having a sweet tooth and eating a lot of candy. Is a sweet tooth really a thing? Hey! I've been diagnosed. What do you have? Ha! I got the sweet tooth. Really? Who diagnoses you with that? Is that the doctor or the dentist? Oh, no. The person who diagnosed this was, uh, Fitzgibbon, the cert euenderist at AAM. He owns the Fitzgibbon's candy shop on the corner. He said I have the sweet tooth. Can you get out of school for that? No, no. No, you can't. Now, I apologize that this episode is bouncing around, but you know what? That's what's going to happen on a day like today. It'd be great if I could have utilized the voice, and we would have been like, Oh, wow. He's really thought this through. He's got this wackadoo voice, and he's utilizing it. But no, this is just kind of a catch-as-catch-can episode. The other night, one of my children was, well, he told a fib. He told a bit of a lie. And I said, and there was a lot of stuff on his floor. That was why I said, hey, how did all this stuff get on your floor? I don't know. Well, it's your stuff. How did it get on the floor? I'm cleaning it up for you, but who, how did it get here? I don't know. Not my stuff. And I was like, oh, but I mean, it's clearly your stuff. This is definitely your stuff that I'm picking up. Nope. Must have been somebody else in the house. He started throwing people under the bus. And I was just like, nope, that person wouldn't have done it. Nope, that person didn't do it either. I was just like, buddy, you're not in any kind of trouble at all. Why are you? Why are you feeling the need to lie? Why are you feeling the need to fib about this? I'm not lying. Why would I? I'm not lying. I don't lie. And I was like, all right, relax, settle down. But you are. You're definitely making up a little. You did this, but I, and, you know, I just was asking why. There's no knees in, no knees in. A knees in is a reason for your knees in the season. I said, there's no reason to make anything up. And he's just started getting furious. He's like. Why does everybody always say I lie every time I say something, they say I'm lying. And I was just like, well, that's because you actually do lie quite a bit, quite a lot, quite a lot of lies. And he got really mad and, uh, he's like, no one ever believes anything I say. And I was just like, again, you tend to lie a lot. And, uh, I was like, you're kind of, he's like the boy who cried wolf. And I was like. You know, he lied a lot and then people stopped believing him. That's what happens. If you lie a lot, people can't trust you. People can't, you know, they're not gonna, they're not gonna listen to what you have to say. You're going to cry wolf and cry wolf and cry wolf and, and fool people and to a point. And then they're going to just say, no, I'm done. Not, I'm not doing this anymore. I'm not going to believe you. I'm not going to put my trust in you. And he goes well. Uh, you know, whatever the wolf, the wolf didn't even, you know, eat the kid at the end. I was like, wait, what? But he did. And he's like, no, the kid was fine. And I was like, no, the wolf ate the kid. The kid was the kid in the story of the boy who cried wolf. He, he got eaten. He got eaten by the wolf. It's the whole point of the thing. He goes, no, no, no. The wolf ate the sheep. And I was like, cool. I don't know about the sheep. I'm sure the wolf probably ate them too. But the boy, yeah, he got eaten. That's the whole point of the story. He cried wolf. The town's people ran over. No wolf. Laughing kid. He cried wolf again. Town ran up. No wolf. Laughing kid. He cried wolf again. Town did not run up. You know who laughed that time? Not the kid. The wolf did. Because he knew he was about to have some dinner. He was about to have some lion kid stew. So what I did was I pulled the story up and, uh, thanks internet. And I started, I just read it to him immediately. And, um, we got to, so the kid was annoyed that he was going to have to watch the sheep. He wanted a better, more fun job. And he, uh, went. Into the field eventually with the sheep and, uh, and he cried wolf once and I looked over and my child was asleep. So he didn't, he doesn't know. Maybe that's why he thinks the kid was okay. Maybe because he's never made it past the third page of this story. So to him, the moral of the story is go ahead and cry wolf. It's the sheep who's going to get eaten. Not you. You're going to be fine, but no, I would say there's a. Direct correlation between, uh, the, my, the moral that my son gets out of a story. And how quickly he falls asleep when he's listening to the story. Look at me. I brought it all back around to correlation. I feel like I'm going to be the correlation King. Maybe they'll even be a coronation. Oh. My voice even sounds a little bit better. Maybe I'm feeling better. Maybe that's what happens when you get crowned the King of correlations. Ah, there's a correlation between talking a lot and your voice feeling better or no, it's just the medicine kicking in.

    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.

    Unknown: Mm-hmm.

    Natty Bumpercar: What about if you're alone and the light goes off because it's a thunderstorm and the power goes out? Man, this sounds terrifying.

    Unknown: No, this is scarier. You're out in the woods at night.

    Natty Bumpercar: What? You've never been out in the woods at night. How do you know if that's scary?

    Unknown: What about the creepy bench?

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, talk about the creepy bench. That's in our backyard.

    Natty Bumpercar: Football's gone?

    Unknown: What do you mean? Done forever.

    Natty Bumpercar: Football's done forever? Yeah.

    Unknown: Why? I'm not sure what it means. I can't even look for it when I'm in the kitchen.

    Natty Bumpercar: The football's hiding?

    Unknown: Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar: So wait, so you and your friend were playing football in the backyard.

    Unknown: Yeah. No, we were just punting it.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yeah, so you punted it. You were punting with flip-flops on yesterday. I think your friend was kind of impressed. He was, because he, I even heard him. He was like, Emmer, be careful with your foot. And you were like, I got this. I'm a punting fool. I think you're happy when you play football. Mm-hmm. Or when you play sports or when you're having like a play date, like a hangout. Yeah.

    Unknown: Why is it called a play date?

    Natty Bumpercar: I don't know why it's called a play date. I was just, did you hear right before I said it that I kind of paused? Mm-hmm. Because I don't know at what age it stops becoming a play date and it becomes just like a hangout. You think 10? Okay, so we're a few months, yeah, we're a few months away from that. But for now, we can still call it a play date, right? Mm-hmm. And then at 10, we're going to be like, this is officially a hangout. Yes. Okay. So Ollie, do you know anything about the Haunted Bench?

    Unknown: Yes.

    Natty Bumpercar: Can you tell me about it? It sounds really scary.

    Unknown: Oh my gosh. Ollie got possessed.

    Natty Bumpercar: Ollie got possessed? Yeah. What possessed Ollie to get possessed? What? A lizard in our yard?

    Unknown: It was.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh my goodness. What other animals have we seen in our yard this week?

    Unknown: A snake. No.

    Natty Bumpercar: This week? No, we saw a?

    Unknown: Why is it like?

    Natty Bumpercar: Huh? What like? That's the sun. Sun. Oh. Mr. Golden Sun. You remember that song? No. Ollie, do you remember that song? Can you sing it?

    Unknown: No. I don't even remember anything about it. She does.

    Natty Bumpercar: I bet you do. And you know what would make me happy? Hearing you sing that song.

    Unknown: No.

    Natty Bumpercar: Because I like it when you sing.

    Unknown: It's not in public.

    Natty Bumpercar: It's not in public. We're in our studio right now.

    Unknown: Sure.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, that's true. People are going to hear it. Can I sing it? Mr. Sun. Sun. Mr. Golden Sun. Okay, that's good. Okay. Uh, so let's see. We did, we did fear. We did scared. We did happy. We did sad. Uh, Ollie, Ollie. I want more. Ollie, are you ever sad? I know you get mad. Who do you get mad at, Ollie? You can't just point. Emerson. Why do you get mad at Emerson? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is like a group therapy session all of a sudden. Why is Emerson a big jerk? Do you think is he just being a big brother or is he just being kind of mean? Oh, no, Ollie, that was not one of the answers. But you still love him to pieces, right?

    Unknown: Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar: What? Well, now this podcast cannot end until there is mutual love all the way around.

    Unknown: It's been 10 minutes.

    Natty Bumpercar: I want to hear Emerson say, I love my brother, Ollie.

    Unknown: Ah, sorry. It's been 10 minutes.

    Natty Bumpercar: Well, we're going to be here for 10 hours if I don't get. All you have to do is say, Ollie, Ollie, you say, I love my brother, Emerson.

    Unknown: No. No.

    Natty Bumpercar: You have to say it.

    Unknown: Never.

    Natty Bumpercar: Emerson, you have to say, I love my brother, Oliver. Ah, you guys. We can record for 10 days if you want to. No. Okay, let's do this. Just say it at the same time. You don't even have to say the names. Just say, I.

    Unknown: I.

    Natty Bumpercar: Love.

    Unknown: No.

    Natty Bumpercar: Say love.

    Unknown: No. Like.

    Natty Bumpercar: Fine. I like. Can you say, I like, Emerson? Say, I. Like. Like. My. My. Brother. Ow. Yay. I was squeezing you out. Guys, thanks for talking about emotions. Do you feel like we accomplished anything? What did I forget? An emotion? Love? Oh, that's a feeling. I can talk about love all day. Because I have my two friends here. My two boys. Ow. My firstborn love and my secondborn love. And all I need is Poppy and all the love is complete. I love my wife also, but she's not here. Oh, okay. Ow.

    Unknown: This is going to be past the closing.

    Natty Bumpercar: That's okay. People love this type of episode. Kids talking about emotions. This is gold. This is podcast gold. Don't let me listen. Okay. Uh, let's see here. Oliver, go upstairs and get your shoes. Emerson, get your stuff ready. Listen, Bumper Podcast. I feel like we can't do that right now. Yeah, I know. I feel like we talked about a lot today, right? We talked about being sad. And now there's a fight. Hey, Emerson. Oliver, can you just come here? Oliver. Emerson, you do your own thing. All right. Ollie. What just happened?

    Unknown: I was going up and Emerson picked me up.

    Natty Bumpercar: He picked you up? Is he that strong? Oh, my gosh. Emerson is stronger than me. Okay. Can you say goodbye, Bumper Podcast?

    Unknown: No, I'm good.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, no. I don't want to end on such a sad note. Let's do a clapping song and then we can go. Clap, clap, clap your hands. I'll say it. Clap, clap, clap your hands.

    Unknown: What? What? Clap, clap, clap your hands. Clap, clap, clap, clap your hands. I forgot. Clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap your hands. Clap your hands, everybody. Clap your hands. Who said that? Clap, clap, clap your hands. Come on. Now clap your hands. Okay, now you're smiling. All right. Bye, Bumper Podcast. You are the best.

    Natty Bumpercar: And you know what, Bumper Podcast? What emotion I'm feeling right now? Happy that you're my friend.

    Unknown: Basketball. Basketball.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, my word.

    Unknown: Basketball.

    Natty Bumpercar: Hey everybody, it's me, Matty Pumpercar, and this is a super special day, and this is a super special episode, because you know what it is? 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.
