    About This Episode

    In this special weekend edition of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar apologizes for missing last week's episode and shares his exhausting adventures in solo parenting. While his wife attends a conference, Natty deals with sleepless nights caused by his children's sniffles, including a heart-stopping 11:30 PM wake-up call that left him completely disoriented. He also discusses his experiments with Twitter engagement, a relaxing dentist appointment (complete with cavity concerns), and his attempt at live-tweeting his two-hour bedtime struggle. The episode features a surprise guest appearance from one of Natty's children, who shares stories about rock climbing with an auto belay system and visiting the pool.

    Natty Bumpercar: well hello there bumper podcast it's me natty bumper car and it is a weekend edition a surprise weekend edition because i blacked out and completely missed last week and i don't know what happened but i was just like i've got time i miss i miss i miss my peeps i miss my peeps you guys are my peeps we don't want to be your peeps well too bad you're my peeps hey what up peeps that's a hard p p peeps i uh i i had a weird fun week so i uh one thing i i'm just gonna run through my list of cool things i uh i i tweeted i tweeted a tweet and um it got like all these uh likes and retweets and stuff and i was like interesting and so then a couple days later i uh i tried again i went out and i i i followed the same scenario uh whereby i found a very hot twitter uh twitter tweet that a lot of people were interacting with and liking and retweeting and i put a pithy comment into that and uh this is because it had worked before and uh it got 450 likes and uh 50 retweets and nothing you know no one no followers that doesn't happen that's fine uh but it's neat to see uh how things work or don't work you know depending on your view for me i was just like oh this is cool all these people like stuff my phone is blown up blown up so then last night uh the wife has been away she's been in a conference that's been me and the kids and uh they don't sleep necessarily she left on thursday at uh she she was up at 4 like 15 in the morning it's been i was basically up at 4 15 in the morning uh and then she left at 508 at 5 12 the kids got up that's early that's an early early time to wake up um and then that night uh the kids had a hard time going to bed this is thursday night and then one of them woke up screaming ah at 11 30 at night i had been asleep at that point for 1.5 hours an hour and a half and he screamed so loud and so that i was up i thought i i honestly uh and i don't say this often i thought i was having a heart attack because i was so deep asleep and i was in the middle of a dream that was kind of nightmarish we'll say uh and right when something terrible was about to happen so i was already a little bit amped up in my dream and screamed and i was like oh i hit the ceiling i got i ran i was so out of sorts and confused and i was just like what what's going what happened what's the matter he's just like i've got sniffles it's like what sniffles in my house are almost like the end of the world when one of them has sniffles all bets are off uh there will be no sleep there will be no peace there will be no happiness there will be no joy because sniffles are in the house so i had to gather my myself gather my brain and then i went and i found some of the that vapor rub so i sm i slathered that all over him which then causes a freak out because he doesn't like stuff being slathered so like lotion uh you know soap whatever conditioner in his hair that oh it feels weird ah but you know you can't breathe let's put this on you we'll see what happens you're good to go wasn't enough was not enough uh so we're trying to blow nose not experts at blowing noses yet uh so then i run downstairs and i get some uh some medicine now we have a couple of different uh kid medicines they're all homeopathic stuff uh so one of them has melatonin in it it's like dark honey and uh echinacea and melatonin whatever and it's supposed to like soothe the throat and help them sleep but the thing was by that time it was already 12 15 and i didn't want to give him that because if it forced him to sleep he would have to go to sleep and then he's not gonna get up in the morning and he's got to go to school can't miss school for a sniffle uh excuse me mr bumper car why wasn't your son here at school today oh well he had the sniffles oh really bring him in now please so i knew i couldn't do that one and then the other one there's another one that's uh the kind of the dark honey i don't know why everything's dark honey what's dark honey dark honey it's like dark matter it's like the bees no dark honey exists and then the other one there's another one that's uh the kind of the but they can't quite find it well it's in my medicine cabinet so and he's not a huge fan of the of the dark honey to be honest but then there's another one that is more for uh for congestion and for sniffles and so i got that and here you go and then about an hour later he went to sleep that point i'm pretty i'm pretty wide awake all the adrenaline is you know still flowing so from 11 30 12 31 about 132 i get back to sleep good for me uh six o'clock they woke up which was nice that's that six o'clock is late it's perfect i was a little tired though friday was a little bit of a tired day for me luckily uh i had a dentist appointment in the morning so i took them to school came home and uh kind of just sat partially comatose in the corner until it's time to go to the dentist and then i go and i you know what i do i i rest i nap dentist for me so far knock on wood has been a good experience not a horrifying bad scary experience let's keep that up teeth let's keep it up although they did take x-rays and they were like you see this that shadow is the beginning of a cavity i was just like oh no i don't want any more cavities i look at my mouth in the mirror and it's just like cavity i'm a cavity creep can't stand them disgusting 2017 can't we do something better about cavities i don't know uv lights lasers i don't know so but the dentist was fine so the kids the kids were good so i tell you that story because then last night uh they went to their their their their uh grandparents house that night uh which left me friday night to have a lot of fun do a lot of things like you know cleaning laundry falling asleep at 9 30 what whoop whoop whoop whoo like that um and then saturday i got up and when i went up to pick them up and uh and last night i could tell we were in for a night we were in for a real night because they were kind of a little tired a little overtired uh but the sniffles were still there the sniffles were there in full effect i'm not gonna lie the sniffles were they were serious business and so i i was just like all right we're gonna do everything now we're gonna we're gonna give you medicine we're gonna slather we're gonna blow some teeth and we started to go to bed at 8 12 i got them upstairs day 12 we brushed teeth we got into pajamas uh laid down i was in the room for two hours trying to soothe everyone trying to calm everyone trying to get everybody to go to sleep one of the kids and so what i started doing i had a fun time with it so that i wouldn't go crazy is i uh i live tweeted it and i was trying to i would read about threading tweets which is where you like write a tweet and then you uh reply to yourself but you cut out the name and you put the your new tweet in so it becomes like this uh a string like a thread and uh i it was fun i did like 16 of them and i it was you should go read it whatever my way uh natty bumper car twitter and um but then i think i read i think i might have done it wrong i wasn't threading properly i improperly threaded uh because i'm new to this i wish i would have known more but i was i was in a bit of a hurried state a harried state as well hey what's going on you want to talk now you don't want to talk uh we got another uh two minutes i was telling

friend then obviously they can't be best friends with the other person and so it becomes this like uh um not animal farm but that book uh lord of the flies it's not really like that but it where it's just like you know oh you're best friends with that dude and he's like i thought we were best friends and he's like no i'm now best friends with that dude and so there's a lot of weird social things that are going on and i'm like oh my god i'm not at school which is great because you know as if we don't have enough going on in life now we're dealing with weird social stigmas and social norms and social structures ah and uh the other thing too is it's a fun moving target so you know like on one day you're this person's best friend by the end of the day you might have switched best friends two or three times so and i don't know literally they're standing in line and they're just like blink funny and they're like now i'm her best friend or what um i don't know but i know it causes stress because he's like i thought you know that we were best friends and now i'm best friends with and it's just like bro relax it's okay and we're gonna try to tell him like listen if uh somebody's you know not not just the best stuff but if somebody's not being nice to you one day there's a lot of other people in your class that you like that you're friends with go play with those other people it's fun it's good if you know like spread yourself out hit a lot of bases make sure you're friends with as many people as you can be friends with because more friends is better more friends is more gooder that's what i always say uh but even with that being said we're good right you and me bumper podcast we're still besties right bffs best friends for life forever forever right i had somebody once uh i forget what it was it was a situation i didn't want to be in and uh it was uh i was introduced to some people who i really had not much interest in meeting and uh one of them kind of cornered me and he goes we've been waiting to meet you for a long time now that we got you you ain't never getting away from us again like that and in my head it was like all sorts of warning lights and sirens going off and i was just like oh my friend you'll never be seeing me again and they didn't they didn't ever see me again uh if i'm to be honest um yeah it's weird like people don't people have a hard time talking to people and dealing with people have you noticed that in this world like uh for me i love communication i'm all about communication i'm all about communication i'm all about communication about it let's hey the open lines of communication uh but so the difficult thing with that is you're you're worrying about people's self-esteem people's egos and so you have to consider what you're saying which is fine because you want to be considerate right you were in a society and so you want to be considerate of other other people's emotions and how they feel about things and how things are going to affect them the things you're going to say right so it makes sense that you have to uh not censor the stuff that you're saying a little bit here and there but that you at least have to think about oh my gosh what i have to think about the things i'm saying yes come on come on that's obvious think about what you're going to say to people and then go up to them and have a conversation and treat them pull them you know let's let's all be on the same level and let's all have a conversation i have a hard time with uh institutionalized structures so what that means is like i always had a hard time in school where there was uh you know there's people who were over you there's there's a principal there's a teacher and they're in positions of power even nowadays i have sometimes problem with position people in positions of power uh because it's always been my thinking that hey let's if we have an issue let's lay it on the table and let's hash it out let's figure it out let's get to the bottom of it let's work together let's use you know constructive criticism i'm all about it and let's uh let's figure out what's going on let's work together i love working together that's at work that's what i do i like to facilitate people working together at my job like i try to pull people in from different departments people who don't talk as much all the time and because if you get different people from uh different backgrounds and with different viewpoints then that's going to broaden the information pool and you're going to lead that's going to lead you to potentially better solutions because if you're only looking at a problem in one way then you might not crack it you might not see if you're looking at a house and you can't get in and you're staring at it you're looking at the front all the windows are locked the door is locked you don't have a key you might not realize that the back door you know is open and you can just walk right in and that's where the party is um and so i try to do that in as many aspects of my life as i can i like and i always i get in trouble because i'm like let's just talk to me like a human and that's that's not a nice thing to say either and i understand that um but it's true like you know you came from a different background that i came from but we should and i you know you do this with people i try to talk to kids this way i try to talk to anyone that i'm dealing with at a store or at a gas station like anyone you're talking to i try to talk to my boss this way which gets me in trouble sometimes i um ah here's a sorry about that here's a crazy uh boss story this happened to me the other day i wasn't even thinking i was on a uh i was on a conference call and uh so there was something was being mentioned and there was somebody who wasn't on the call and i uh went and i called that person and i was just like hey just so you know they're talking about your thing and uh he just mentioned this so there was nothing nothing bad i mean i didn't say anything bad i wasn't like man this this guy whoa what did he what is he thinking he said oh this guy but as it turned out the uh the conference call had not muted me uh and there was no way to mute myself and so then i found out that they in fact had heard my conversation and i i mean pit in my stomach ice in my veins because i was going through and parsing every word that i had said just to make sure that there wasn't any any way that anything that i had said could be misconstrued whatever i was just like oh bad and then i was just like did i say anything how did i say anything weird and i couldn't remember but i eventually uh after deep hypnosis and therapy i figured out that i didn't really say anything oh thank goodness for that and but the point of that is is uh just don't say things bad about people and you'll be okay and i don't always follow that i try to follow that but it's a hard thing to follow sometimes try to be as nice to everybody as you can because you know and i uh i like to say we're all in this together but i don't know current times i i feel like maybe we're not all in this together but i feel a lot of people are in this together uh looking for progress looking for you know hopeful change uh for the better uh not change for the individual's sake but change for everyone's sake and i that's how i feel like it should be now that i have kids i want the whole world to be a good place i want the whole world to be a happy place and sometimes i feel like uh people chasing that almighty dollar might not be making have their focus on making the world a better place um but i don't know man i just don't know you know it's a crazy world out there so tell me about yourself i've been babbling for a long time here uh friend oh what are you doing you're going you're going you're going to enjoy it the nice weather this weekend you're going to go out and play we've been going to the park ah ollie rode a bicycle for the first time last week at the park uh we had we got him a bike for his birthday and put some air in the tires and was on a scooter ollie was on the bike just pedaling and getting furious because it's hard to explain to a kid pedal forward pedal forward that means you're going forward if you push back that means you put the brakes on what are brakes brakes i don't want to stop okay exactly so pedal forward pedal forward and that's what i want the world to do too i want it to pedal forward pedal forward

    In Bumperpodcast episode 284, Natty Bumpercar shares his chaotic yet hilarious bedtime routine with his kids. After taking a strategic 27-minute nap, Natty dives into a lengthy discussion about science before recounting his challenging evening. He reads five books to his sons, sings custom songs including variations of 'Rocket Ship' and 'Ali Li La,' only to have his younger son reject his musical offerings.

Through it all, Natty's exhausted but loving approach to parenting shines through with plenty of self-deprecating humor.

just sound like yeah bumper podcast forever i i'm pretty sure there's a back button no ah okay hi bumper podcast it's me natty bumper car and uh last week i was super tired and sleepy this week i'm less tired and sleepy which is good i actually just took a nap i dropped the kids off early at school and uh then i came home and slept for 27 minutes i set my alarm for 27 minutes because i didn't want to go over 30 minutes because at that point the nap is actually gonna make you more tired which isn't true but that's what they tell you how is that even possible oh you got more sleep minutes more sleep then you're more tired sorry mom and but it's some sort of uh thing where you go into your deep sleep mode your REM sleep whatever it's called i can't i don't know the words i ain't i ain't no scientist hey bumper podcast let's get this straight we believe in science here at bumper podcast land at headquarters we love science all right you know why because science is backed up by things called facts science is backed up by things called data all right i was never super good at science in school but you know what i'm not a scientist that's for them to do but you know what i like to do believe in science all right let's i just wanted to establish that and i wanted to uh you know physical science sure earth science might be the same thing i don't know physics that's probably science right physiology it has ph at the beginning which wait science doesn't have oh god why have i gotten to this educated conversation with you and i haven't done any research ah research what is that that's science natty bumper car ah perfect you science is great so we should continue studying science and doing science and believing in science because science is the science behind science so back to me being awake i'm so waked woke i'm so woke i'm so waked i don't know how i don't see i don't know i don't talk to people that often i talk to big obviously uh and here's why i don't talk to people that often is because i don't because i get my feelings hurt uh last night i was putting the boys to bed and uh i read like five books five or six books i was like a book reading machine i was enjoying it normally i read one book per kid sing songs and i'm out but last night i was having a good time reading and so i just kind of kept going and i was like boom let's go to the next book bow let's go to the next book and the more i read to them the more uh tired they get and the more they kind of settle into bed easier which makes my whole experience better because here's what i don't like if i go up and i read and i get out quick i know they're gonna come out of the bed 10 10 12 times out of the room right daddy which i can't stand it drives me crazy it drives me bananas but so what i like to do is i'm just gonna do the work up front right i'm gonna make sure i give them pats i'm patting i'm patting so if i'm in there 25 minutes 30 minutes whatever that's cool because it's a nice 25 30 minutes for the most part right it's relaxed i'm reading books i'm singing the songs i'm calming them down no running around no toys ah let's lay down get your head on your pillow hey get

Rufus: you very much yeah it's i i i i i i was i excuse me a second i think i hit a bit of a uh flum flum flum bobble in my throat there i i was you know uh when i was raised to speak i always thought to myself that public speaking was probably the way that i would be going the route that i would be going the avenue that i would be travailing and traversing and reversing on if you catch my drift that's like i talk exactly i i'm i'm flummoxed i don't know

    Aloysious J. Pig: i don't really know what you just said if i'm to be if i'm to be completely honest i mean i heard you talking but there was a lot of words i mean you sounded great i'm just what i'm gonna tell you buddy you sounded like a professional voiceover actor so get out there good we're gonna get you to broadway to new york city where all the big commercials are made and you know what we're gonna we're gonna put you at the top of the marquee uh rufus t rufus uh today today only recording his commercial about canned corn what is i don't know what's happening right now something you could get

Rufus: canned corn like what was it it was cream corn and it is the best hold on a second it was this is ladies and gentlemen this is the best cream corn that you will ever feast your lips upon. When you put your fork or your spoon or your spork into this cream corn, the next thing that's going to happen is you're going to lift it up. You're going to put it in your mouth and you're going to mind blown. You're going to have your mind blown because you had corn before, corn on a cob. You had cornbread before. Cornbread is good, but you ain't never, ever in your whole entire life had cream corn like this cream corn. So get on down to our store where we're having a special sale. It's a pyramid of cream corn. Get it in your cart today because tomorrow's going to come sooner than later. Ha ha, like that. That's how I do it. That's how the professionals do it, Bumper Car. You had this podcast now for almost 25 years. 25 years? And you ain't never done a commercial. So who you talking to? I mean, don't talk to me about this, my friend. All right, let's relax. I don't want you to blow

    Aloysious J. Pig: out your pipes. I don't want you to ruin your perfect golden voice. That's not a golden voice. So if you could, let's relax. Let's relax a little bit. Everybody, just take a step back. Let's let Bumper Car come to the mic and share. He's got some silly story to tell about his kids or whatever, or a tree. I don't know what happened. And we can just kind of, we can edit your video, your audio together, and we can send it off. We got things to do, okay? Okay, why don't you guys go ahead and go.

    Rufus T. Rufus: Scrumdillium, she turned down the form, she's absolutely stunningly divine. So let's do that, and you do this, whatever you want. Whatever you do, Bumper Car. Okay. And I will see you. Perfect. Another day. Looking at magazines with my picture in it. Voice of a magazine. You're going to be sitting at the bus stop, reading a magazine. All right. Talking about, hey, it's Rufus T. Rufus. There he is. Bringing the whole industry back. The whole industry? Really? He's putting it all on his shoulders. Cream corn. And he's taking it the last mile, the last charge. You haven't even.

    Natty Bumpercar: I think I lost my ball.

    Rufus T. Rufus: Rufus. I lost my boy. Big. Rufus. I feel like I can't talk no more. Oh. What is going on? What in the world has one of you done to me, Bumper Car? Oh, no. Rufus.

    Natty Bumpercar: I'm sorry.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Rufus, stop talking. You're going to make it worse.

    Natty Bumpercar: You need a lozenge. No, he needs some lozenge. Or some lemon. Lemon, honey, and lemon.

    Aloysious J. Pig: Yeah, honey and lemon. We got to stop talking. Rufus. Okay. Here's my golden ticket.

    Natty Bumpercar: Sorry about that, Rufus. See you, Rufus. Okay. We got to go. We got to go. Oh, man. You're in big trouble now. No, you're in big trouble right now. I'm not in trouble. Stop.

    Aloysious J. Pig: You did this to us. You did this to me. This was my golden ticket out of this place. Okay. Anyway, happy New Year, everybody. Hopefully, I'm going to fix Rufus T. Rufus's voice, and you can read about me. I'm Pig. I'm his manager in Voice Over Manager Magazine. That's not a real magazine. That's it. I got to go. I got to go fix this dude. Okay.

    Natty Bumpercar: See you later, dude. All right. So, anyway. That was crazy. I guess I'm not going to lie. I felt like buying a can of cream corn after I heard Rufus talking about it, and that's a good skill. He's a salesman. That's for sure. He signed us up for a contract, and he's not even a lawyer. He has no ability to do that, and he almost took the Bumper Podcast away from us a couple years ago. But that all worked out when we found out that he, well, he fibs a lot. He lies a lot. Let's be honest. Rufus does. Anyway, happy New Year, everybody. This is the first Bumper Podcast of this 2017, and we're doing great, and we survived the holidays. I hope you did. Man, they're stressful. There's so much going on. You got to clean the house. You got to decorate the house. You got to go find a tree. You get a lot of money for the tree. You got to put the tree down. Santa's got to go make all the presents. You got to get the lists. You got to sit on Santa's lap. You got to tell him the list. You got to go to holiday parties. You got to go to family parties. You got to put together Christmas cards. You got to, the kids are home from school. Like, there's a lot going on is what I'm telling you. There's present wrapping. There's, oh, now we got to go to this place. We got to go to that place. And, oh, the kids are up all night because they're excited. So, now you're not sleeping for a week. Oh, no, now the kids are sick. Oh, jeez. So, now it's New Year's Eve. Here's what happened on New Year's Eve. We had a play date. Me and both kids went to this kid's house. And it was great fun. And then they came home and they were overtired and overhungry. And they both passed out. And then when they woke up, they were zombies. They were the walking dead. They were having a very bad time of it. And it was like 4, 15, 4.30 in the afternoon. And I was like, oh, my God. And I was like, all right, guys. We're going to get ready. It's New Year's Eve. We're going to go out. We're going to get hibachi. And they were like, no. No. I don't feel good. I don't feel good. I don't feel good. I'm so sick. And I was just like, well, let's have a snack. Let's have some juice. Let's have some milk. And they were like, I can't. And to the point where they were like, we're not going out. And I was like, guys, it's New Year's Eve. We're going to go get hibachi. We're going to watch the cool. They've never seen hibachi. And they, no. Not happening. Not doing it. So fine. So great. So we're going to hang out at home. I got some food, brought it home, and we hung out. The kids fell asleep at 7.30 at night. New Year's Eve. This is our big, exciting night. Then my wife fell asleep at 9.30-ish. So it's me and the dog. We're wandering around headquarters, just ambling about, not really doing anything, doing a little bit of this, a little bit of that, working a little bit. And then I looked at my phone, and it was 12.07. So I totally missed New Year's. I totally missed the countdown. And then the next day, it was a new year, and it's a new you.
