    About This Episode

    In this emotional episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar recounts the harrowing experience of catastrophic flooding at his house. After five inches of rain in 30 minutes, Natty, his wife, and the puppet crew including Aloysious J. Pig, Rufus T. Rufus, Doodle Poodle, and a newly voice-updated Robot battled rising water for hours. The episode details their desperate three-hour bucket brigade moving nearly 2,000 gallons of water, a failed sump pump, and the heartbreaking aftermath of losing possessions. Natty shares raw emotions about dealing with the disaster while offering humor through the puppet characters' reactions, from Pig's tiny bucket contributions to Rufus's obsession with legal documentation.

    Natty Bumpercar: everybody's here great listen i'm gonna need a list from all of you of the stuff that you had that got messed up in the flood so that i can i have to give it to the insurance guy and anyway here's what happened bumper podcast we had crazy storms last saturday night and we got like five inches of rain in like 30 minutes something's in just doesn't happen type of thing and there was all this water in front of the house i think pig was talking about the street it was like a foot and a half deep and then the backyard just started filling up with water filling up with water and then there was like a river to the side of our house like it was just like water everywhere and we were watching it and then i went downstairs and i was like okay sump pump's working we're okay if you don't know a sump pump is a little hole in the corner of your basement if you think you might get water and you try to divert the water there so that a little pump which is down in the hole and the hole is called a sump don't know why but that little pump will then pump the water out to wherever you want it to go our little pipe goes out to the street the street that was underwater so the little pump it couldn't do it it couldn't push the water out into the river out there and so it started to back up right okay that's terrifying and then you turn and you look to the back of the house and you see a little pipe and it's like a little pipe and it's like a little house and there are two sinks there right by our washer and dryer and those started to fill up and not slowly like they really they were like water and we were like okay what do we do so we all

    Aloysious J. Pig: grabbed buckets i actually grabbed a very tiny bucket because you know i'm just a little pig with little hooves and so i can't move a lot of water but i was there to offer support to everybody and to really cheer the team on you know and so i was there to offer support to everybody and to know because i didn't want all that water to go everywhere i get allergies i get mold affliction i

    Rufus T. Rufus: don't want none of that now excuse me aloysius i heard you get the mold affliction i believe in my briefcase that i have some sort of documentation that i might need you to sign which will go pro facto ipso facto into the folder the dossier if you will to the loyification to make sure that any of your ailments are prescribed and entraved in a legal fashion you understand what i'm saying he fine whatever uh so

    Natty Bumpercar: the water started coming up through the sink and we all like i had two big five gallon buckets and my wife had a five gallon and like we're just running them up the stairs as fast as we can but by the time it takes us to get upstairs which i'm talking maybe a minute maybe you know like whatever it's not not much time and we're throwing the water out into the yard and we run back down getting it throw the water like up and down up and down for three hours we did this and so we were trying to figure out if we were doing 10 gallons at a time and so she was doing five so i was probably doing let's say i did 40 buckets in an hour so three hours 40 80 120 so that's 1200 gallons of water that i moved and she probably moved about six five about 500 so we're almost at two thousand gallons seventeen hundred whatever a lot of water we were running out and like the floor was getting slippery so you you get so tired and exhausted and you're trying to move all this water you get to the top of the stairs and you slip and fall and then more water would go everywhere it was a nightmare and we couldn't keep up with all the water that was coming out of the sink and so then that's just pouring into the house and pouring into the house and then the sump was over overloaded right it couldn't do anything it was trying to push the water out and it couldn't and then i kind of i didn't know what i just kind of i said i don't know if this sump pump is working and so i just shoved my hand in there and all the stuff that had been coming in through the sink was clogging the sump so i had to like clean it out with my hand right then luckily we had a friend who's a fireman and i called him and i was just like do you have they have these submersible pumps that you can put in for stuff like this and he happened to have one it was a war zone outside of my house there's like just dirt and rocks everywhere and limbs and just fire department and police everywhere and it was a nightmare city right i got the pump i got it home and we put it in and we're still like you know pushing water out getting the water out just bone tired and then

    Rufus T. Rufus: you know finally we were good for the night now when you say you was good for the night is that good in quotations i'm assuming and i'm hoping that you were able to take some sort of a shower something i wouldn't want you getting into that bed of yours all full of stink water and yucky times like that what's

    Aloysious J. Pig: stink water i never heard of stink water i feel like that's something that i could really market and sell to the pig population like hey everybody you want to go to my uh my new restaurant it's called slop house and stink water i don't know it just sounds like something that we could probably you know market put a tag on put a price on put a shell on get it on get it on you know what i'm saying like that and that's our commercial now we got a commercial we got a brand name we got a product we're going to the top with

    Natty Bumpercar: this when i feel like huh well okay so whatever so we went to bed yes i was able to take a shower thank you very much for asking rufus even though it's kind of creepy uh because we were discussed i was disgusting i was so i was covered in just horrible nastiness and i passed out at like 10 30 so tired then 4 a.m comes and the uh i went downstairs at 1 30 just because i was kind of shell shocked and i was terrified i was like i'm gonna make sure that the water's gone water was fine no water some pump was working went back to sleep 4 a.m the wife's like it came back and so we run downstairs and i was like in a dream state i was so beat up tired and i got downstairs and we had another six inches so the first time we got like 15 inches right the second time we got six inches uh luckily we were able to save the water heater and the uh furnace barely like by an eighth of an inch which is not very much we had to have the firemen come the policemen they came and they checked it out to make sure the pilot light wasn't uh off or whatever because then you got just gas coming into your house and then your house can blow up which i didn't i don't want my house to blow up and um the policeman when he came i forgot i was on the top of my steps and it didn't even register in my brain but i was talking to him he was down on the on the sidewalk and i was talking to him eye to eye and then he got up on the steps next to me he was probably seven foot four he was very tall and i was so tired and my brain just didn't know and i went wow you're you're really tall huh and he was just like looked at me like what do you what do you what do you want what are you talking to me for and i was like i don't know you're in my house this is weird i'm tired anyway we come downstairs and he was like why did you call and i was like i thought i was supposed to call because i called 911 and he was just like is it an emergency and i was like yeah my basement's flooded and you know because the last time five years ago our basement flooded for completely different reasons we had an oil tank in the draw under the driveway when we bought the house and when they removed it they excavated which means take out a lot of dirt right because there was leaky oil so they had to fix it they filled all that in with uh gravel but they didn't cap it off they didn't put new uh driveway on top of it for like two months and the water came in that way so this is a completely different situation but we've had floods before and that time it was right after we moved in and so we were using the basement as kind of a staging area and it was really that time was so heartbreaking because we lost everything we lost like all of our wedding pictures and just old mementos and so so much art and stuff and it was it was terrible this time it was terrible also but just for different reasons just for the exhaustion of it like did we lose stuff yes you know we lost a big pile of stuff there was a crib there was a vacuum there was this there was that whatever just stuff um you know you just kind of take pictures of and throw away but it's just it's more the mental anguish of it and then i was talking to somebody and i joke you not this was his reaction to it and it was somebody in a position of power and he went well i don't understand why didn't you just fix it this is like this is not a question that you ask of someone when they're going through a tragedy and bumper podcast caters this was a tragedy this was a horrible miserable bear in mind there are people who have it much worse than we do that did not make it out like their whole houses are wrecked like we got off fairly easy fairly well thank goodness right but there are some people who didn't but he didn't know that and i was like so affected by that and i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like offended i was just like all right and i just had to walk away because i was just like i don't even want to have a conversation with this person because i'm already tired enough but you know what makes me keep going you know what makes me happy i got you know what i'm doing right now i'm pointing at you i'm pointing at you bumper podcast caters because you're my pals you keep me dry except for my eyes because sometimes sometimes i do cry a little bit thank you so much have the best day

    Bumperpodcast #333 – Best Guest

    My favorite shows are where I have a guest host – and, today is no exception. Making his way to the microphone, it’s Ollie! He asked what I was doing when I was setting up and I said ‘I’m about to make a podcast’. He ran away, and said “I’ll be right back” over his shoulder. It was adorable.

    The Bumperpodcast is an oftentimes hilarious weekly romp around Headquarters, in Coffee-Can Alley, with Natty Bumpercar and his entire gaggle of pals!

The duo discusses swimming achievements, with Oliver practicing dives at the pool while Natty acts as his tugboat.

The episode showcases the spontaneous, improvisational humor that comes from conversations with young children, complete with lightsaber interruptions and plenty of tangents.

    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Aloysious J. Pig takes over hosting duties while Natty Bumpercar is away. Pig attempts to discuss socio-political economics but quickly abandons the premise to ramble about his love of donuts, particularly a tres leches donut he purchased that morning. Producer interrupts with a story about finding a mysterious wad of cash on the sidewalk while listening to a song about picking up money, which leads to an unfortunate encounter with the police. The episode takes a twist when Natty returns looking for his lost wad of cash, and it becomes clear that Producer may have found it—and possibly donated it, though his new shoes suggest otherwise. The improvised comedy showcases the characters' chaotic chemistry and comedic timing.

    “I'm probably in cupcakes, maybe in cookies, maybe in bread. I've heard you can put it on your cereal. I don't know if you eat that. And, obviously, in my slop pit, sometimes there's milk, just because I am very lactose-tolerant. I would almost go so far as to say I require lactose.”

    “If you see a penny, pick it up, pick it up… If you see a nickel pick it up, pick it up… if you see a 50 bill you should call the police because it's not yours.”

    — Producer

    “Producer, seriously, this is a big deal. Like, this is, like, rent money, this is every kind of money, this is all of our money. This is our bill money.”

    Full Transcript

    Aloysious J. Pig: Uh, hey everyone, it's me, Aloysius J-Pig, and today, uh, Natty Bumper Guy is off and about and about and around and everywhere but here. So, it's gonna be a pig episode, which means probably a little singing, and obviously we're gonna talk about socio-political economics, because that's what I do now. I don't know if you've heard my new show, Pork Barrel Pig, but here we are, and this is what we do. So, huh, the other day I was looking at the market and I was like, oh, what is this, a bear market or a bull market? And the people were just like, I don't know, pig, why don't you tell us? You're the one who's got the show about. It's global, so I forget what it's about already, so I, alright, the joke's over. We're gonna talk about donuts, we're gonna talk about, talk about donuts, what, what, what, what? Donuts, what kind of donuts, bro? You know the best kind of donuts. Donuts, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, donuts, ha, ha, ha, ha, donuts. Donuts, this morning, I woke up, I went to my local donut-taria, and I said, hello, Miss the Donut, and Mr. Donut was just like, oh, hello there, pig, or whatever, I don't know what he said, and he's like, what can I get you? What do you want? What kind of a donut do you want? And I was like, my friend, my friend, my friend, I'll have one of everything, alright, and two or some of them, alright? So you're gonna need some boxes, you're gonna need some crates, what is the biggest receptacle that we can put the donuts in that they're gonna make it home to my house without getting, like, flustered, because the last thing that I want and you want, obzy, is a flustered donut. He said, okay, let me work on that situation, but while I do that, maybe do you want a donut hole? And I was just like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, sir, I do not wish to have a donut hole. No, that's the leftover. That's the leave-ins. I don't want that. I come here for a donut goodness, and if you can deliver, I will receive a donut hole. However, it's not what I meant to. Anyway, we level set, we figured out our relationship, we understood what everybody wanted, and we moved on from there, I assume. I presume, I don't know. So you wanna know? I feel like I've been teasing. You wanna know what kind of donut I got? Today, I got a Tres Leches donut. That's three milk. Three milk donut. And what are the three milks? I don't know. I'm assuming cow milk is one of them. I'm also assuming that, well, I don't know what other kind of milks there might be. There's that weird milk. There's that weird milk. There's that weird milk that Luke drank in The Last Jedi from that alien cow thing. I'm hoping that that kind of milk was not involved in my donuts. And then one of the milks is whipped cream. So that's cream, so that's milk, so that makes sense. I'm hoping there's no cheese on my donut, because that's made from milk, too. Chocolate, also made from milk. Milk is really in a lot of things, is what I'm coming to find out. To all my cow friends listening, to all my cow friends in the… Pasture. To all my cow friends around the world, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta thank you, girl. Hey, cows, what do you know? Hey, cows, what do you do? Oh, oh, oh, hey, cows, how do you say hello? Oh, are you moo? Perfect. Seriously, though, milk, pretty much in everything. I'm probably in cupcakes, maybe in cookies, maybe in bread. I've heard you can put it on your cereal. I don't know if you eat that. I don't know if you eat that kind of stuff. And, obviously, in my slop pit, sometimes there's milk, just because I am very lactose-tolerant. I would almost go so far as to say I require lactose. Anyway, I bibble and babble enough about the donuts. I don't know what else I'm supposed to talk about. How does he do this for 10 minutes a day? How does he, like, what, 12 minutes? I'm four and a half minutes in, and I've already run out of time. I've already run out. I had, like, two songs. I talked about donuts. Did you want to? Okay, hold on a second. Ladies and gentlemen, our producer says he… Um, hello, everybody. No, that's fine. You just start talking.

    Producer: Yeah, I'm going to start talking now. You're talking… Hello? You… Yeah. Okay. Okay. Hi, everyone. This is me, producer. And I am just listening to my friend, which is Jack Pig, and he was having a difficult time with the talking, and so I said, you know what? I've got a pretty funny story to share. So maybe I'm going to hop in to help him out a little bit. And my story involved this yesterday… I don't know when it's yesterday morning. I was leaving my driveway, to go for a little hop around the block, because I'm a frog and I don't run, I hop! So, I was hopping. I was listening to my Bluetooth headset speaker phones, and I had music in them. And the song I was listening to was If you see a penny, pick it up, pick it up… If you see a penny, pick it up, pick it up… it up if you see a nickel pick it up pick it up if you see a dime if you see a quarter

    Natty Bumpercar: if you see a 50 cent piece pick it up if you see a dollar pick it up pick it up if you see a two dollar bill pick it up pick it up if you see a five dollar bill or a 10 or a 20 you know what you should do you should pick it up pick it up if you see a 50 bill you should call the police because it's not yours if you see a hundred dollar bill you should just run away there are certain

    Producer: denominations there are certain sizes of the bill you should pick it up pick it up if you see a money that are always okay for you to pick it up pick it up and lo and behold as I'm listening to this song it's a number one smash summer hit from 1927 pick it up I was hopping and I looked over and I saw a wad of cash on the sidewalk and I say to myself oh my watch out word what should i do and then i thought about the song words the lyrics in this song and i said i

    Natty Bumpercar: know exactly what to do thank you universe and so i called the police and i pointed to it and i said oh would you look at all of this money and they said please put your hands on the car and they knocked my bluetooth headset out of my ears and then i got to ride downtown to the police station where i was interrogated for a long time because they didn't understand why anyone would come across such a pile of money and not uh bro here's the thing it's a great story that you're telling

    Aloysious J. Pig: and the whole song thing everybody's love songs on podcasts so that's good thank you and you get kudos for that everyone has noticed from the beginning of your story to the end of your story you no longer sound like yourself i don't understand what do you mean would you care to explain that or is that something where i don't know something that happened while you

    Producer: were incarcerated or whatever no i think what happens is i don't usually talk for a long time and so when i had the opportunity to talk for an experience period i um got a little bit too excited and maybe i you know like i sang my song and then the voice got a little uh how do you say uh crazy you just said crazy bro that's how you say it perfect oh no hello

    Aloysious J. Pig: what's up um me and uh producer sitting here we're just hanging out doing a little show on our own but we didn't know when you were oh i got the coughs i got the vapors is that a new cologne you wearing oh we didn't know when he was coming back so is that got is that got lavender in it i'm i'm highly alert to lavender i gotta go you i mean you smell nice but you're hurting me i'm so sorry Uh, guys, I'm so sorry that I wasn't here for the beginning of the show, but Crazy Bananas Weird Thing, I was running around, I was on the sidewalk, I was running errands, and, uh, do you, do you remember my stack of cash, my wad of cash? I can't find it anywhere. I do not know where it is, and it was in my pocket, and then it just disappeared out of nowhere, and I can't find it, and I'm freaking out, because that's how I gotta pay all the cows for, uh, their milk and everything.

    Producer: Um, well, first, first off, uh, that is a very clunky way that you try to tie the beginning of the podcast in with this section.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Not, not that, really, come on, yeah.

    Producer: But, uh, I happen to have some information about this wad of cash. You do? Can you describe this wad of cash to me, please?

    Aloysious J. Pig: Yeah, it's, well, sure, it's a wad of cash. It's a lot of money, cash, that has subsequently… …subsequently been wadded up into a wad, like a roll, like it's got a rubber band on

    Natty Bumpercar: What color is the rubber band? I do not know what color rubber band it is.

    Aloysious J. Pig: I'm sorry. What? I do not know. What do you mean? Yeah, it's a… How many… What's your point? Like, did you find a wad of cash? Are you holding out on me for? What, what, what?

    Producer: I'm not, I'm not entirely comfortable talking to you about this, uh, in quotation marks wad of cash, because I feel like maybe you don't know. I don't know what you're talking about, and you're trying to get information for me about the wad of cash that I may or may not have found on the sidewalk right outside of the gate of our house.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Producer, seriously, this is a big deal. Like, this is, like, rent money, this is every kind of money, this is all of our money. This is our bill money. We, I need that money. So if you found it, what did you do with it? Can you get it for me? Can you go find, like, what, please just give me the money if you found it. It's very important. It's hyper important.

    Producer: So I maybe, maybe I found it, and maybe I got taken to jail, and maybe when I got out of jail, I took the money, and I donated it to some other place that maybe said they

    Aloysious J. Pig: needed it as well. Well, I need to know the place. I need to know the place, because I need that wad of cash. It's very important. Can you please just tell me where you donated it to? So I, it's just a misunderstanding. I gotta get the money back. I don't know if it's true. Hey, producer. Thanks for that wad of cash. Look at my new shoes. Wait, what?

    Producer: Pig? Oh, no.
