Just be happy that, you know, people want you to come hang out and want to see you and stuff. That's a good thing.

Natty Bumpercar: It's a good thing to be like you, bumper car. It's a good thing to do all the things that you, you know. I don't know the words to the song. I just made it up. Yeah, you just made it up. Okay, that's fine. I agree with you, pig. I am happy. I'm so happy. I have a great life. I'm thrilled. But I do, I get sleepy, sleepy tired. And here's what happens. I get super excited about this, that, and this, and that, and those, and this, and this, and that. And then I spread myself too thin, and then I get wah, wah, wah. And that's, you know, that's a good problem to have, that I'm so busy that I'm getting worn out. So if it sounds like I'm complaining. Which I'm sure it did sound like I was complaining because I was kind of. You were definitely complaining a little bit. Yes. That's what you do. I was kind of complaining. That's fine. Then I'm sorry. No. I apologize. That's a thank you. I shouldn't be complaining. I'm living the dream. I'm living the life. The dream, buddy. And I'm happy as a clam. I hope you're good. I'm so good. You never tell me about yourself, guys. You don't ask. And girls, and people, and whatnot. How are you doing? For a second, I thought. You're not answering. Oh, I thought you were talking to me, but then I realized, oh, you're talking to the bumper cop, papa. Buccateers. Yeah, that thing. Yeah. But it's fun. You can ask me how I'm doing, too. Pig, how are you? Oh, thank you. Yeah, of course.

Aloysious J. Pig: I actually am doing, you know.

Natty Bumpercar: You just kind of trailed off like you don't know what I'm doing. No, it's because I get self-conscious. Here's my thing. You like to complain a lot. That's like your thing. What I like to do is I like to keep things close to the vest. I like to keep the cards to the table. I like to keep everything that's going on internally, internal, if you know what I'm saying. And why is that? Because I get nervous. You know, I don't want people to, I had this problem with my friends, right, where I used to complain a lot, and then they just, they would take me there. They'd be like, oh, here comes the pig. He's going to complain. And then they put me over on that shelf, and I never got out of it, which is kind of sad because I want my friends to be like, oh, no, here comes the pig. Watch out, guys. It sounds like a party's about to start. It sounds like a party's about to start up in here. It sounds like a party's about to start up in here. Party up in here. We're pig. Party up in here. Well, but I think once you muddy those waters, it gets, people are like, oh, that's a dude who complains a lot, you know? And even if it ain't your fault, even if you're going through stuff and you're like, oh, you guys are my friends. I'm going to talk to you about this stuff. Then sometimes, sometimes that's just what happens. You end up dumping a lot of negative stuff on your friends, and then they're like, oh, well, here comes Mr. Negative Pig, and then womp, womp, there you go. It's a weird thing. Friendships are weird. I'm not going to lie to you. Not even friendship, but relationships in the whole wide world. For instance, I got this one place I go to for slop, right? The best slop in the whole town, the whole city, the whole state, maybe the whole coast. And I was going there for a while, and then the people started to recognize me, and a couple of times. A couple of times. I was down and out. I made a mess on the table, and all of a sudden, they're not as nice to me, because they're like, oh, here comes that messy pig. And I'm like, bro, I'm a pig. That's what I do. You run a slop restaurant, guess what's going to happen? It's going to get a bit messy, you know? So it's totally cool, though, man, because what you do, you're not stuck to that narrative. You control your own narrative, right? So what you do is you got to go back in, you got to flip the script. You got to rewrite it a little bit. So now when I go into that restaurant, I go in with cleaner, and I actually clean my table like all serious business. Like, I got to make it sparkle, and I got to make it shine. So, you know, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. You do you. But you got to understand how you act and how the wow reacts to you. Yeah, okay. It's all intertwined. It's all connected. Pig. You understand? Yeah, I do. But that was really insightful and really deep. And I feel like even though you said you want to keep internal things internal, I feel like maybe you just opened up a little bit. Like, maybe you just told us a little bit about the inner workings of pig, which is pretty darn cool, if I do say so myself. And I totally agree with you, too. It's the type of thing where if you go back to your hometown on the holidays or whatever, and people, you know, you haven't been there in 10 years or whatever, but you're seeing people from high school or college or wherever, you know, from a long time ago, and they see you, and they're like, hey, what's up, bumper car green pants, because you wore green pants 20 years ago for four days or something like that, and then that's who you are to them. They're like, yeah, what's up, you remember, man, you used to wear green pants all the time. Oh, bro, your green pants. And you're like, cool. I wore green pants four times in my life, and you happen to be there for it, and so now I'm bumper green pants to you. No, that's great. Completely ignore the last 20 years of my life. That's fine. That makes a lot of sense. Let's just scoot it on back to where I wore green pants a couple of times. And it's weird, because that's the stuff that defines who you are, and it's kind of in your history and in your lineage, and it might have directed, like, maybe I don't wear green pants anymore because I wore it four times, and I got the nickname Natty Green Pants, so maybe, you know, that stuff is definitely important because it happened, but, you know, again, just kind of take that guy to the side and be like, that's hilarious. What's up, porridge Pete, or whatever, you know, because he ate porridge when he was in pre-K, and, you know, but then you're doing the same thing to him, so don't do that. Let's see. Let's think this through. Let's think this through. Let's, uh… What?

Aloysious J. Pig: You went to school with Porridge Pete? Bro, he used to make the best porridge I ever had in my whole life.

Natty Bumpercar: As a matter of fact, and this is a weird connection that you just did to what I just did, but Porridge Pete grew up to open a restaurant that sells slop. That's the restaurant that I was talking about just a minute ago. What? Mind blown. Totally blown. Porridge Pete married this girl named Sally. Right? And then Sally and Pete opened up a little bitty restaurant somewhere far away. It did so well that they franchised that out. Boom, bam, boom. Right? They got all this money, but that wasn't what his dream was. Porridge Pete opened up slop. It's called slop. And he makes all kinds of stuff, like porridge, like stew, like grits, like corn cob soup. Soup? Like, I'm talking, like, all this… All this stuff that's, you know, kind of sloppy meals, right? It's so weird. It's so crazy. So here's the thing. Porridge Pete actually held on to what he was doing when he was growing up, eating the porridge, making the porridge, whereas you, bumper green pants, ain't never wear no green pants no more because you don't want to be known about the green pants. It's weird. He let his history define him. You ran away from your history. You know what I'm thinking, bro? Yeah, that makes sense. Here's the thing. What's the thing? What's the thing? Here's the thing. What's the thing? Tell me what the thing is. Tell me what the thing is. Also, it's really weird and cool that you know Porridge Pete. Yeah, I know. We're going to go… That's cool, too. We're going to go to the mall. We're going to go to the green pants store. We're going to use your gift card that Santa Claus brought to you, and we're going to buy you… Are you ready for it? Are you ready for this? Are you ready for it? Are you ready for this? A whole stick of green pants. 2017 bumper green pants is making his re-arrival upon the scene. He's going to make it crystal clean. He's going to show everybody what he means. He's bumper green pants. He's bumper green pants. Everybody look. It's Natty Green Pants. Go. Natty Green Pants. Natty, Natty Green Pants. Go. Natty Green Pants. Here he comes, y'all. I like the song a lot. I don't like the idea so much. I've got plenty of pants. I do have a gift card, which is kind of cool. We can go to the mall. I'm fine with that. Does Slop… Do they have any locations in mall food courts? Yeah, I think they definitely do. They do. They've got little kiosks. Really? Yeah, you can go. You can get it. No, it sounds interesting to me. All the food that they serve, it sounds pretty darn fascinating. No, it's not interesting or fascinating. I would love to try it if you're willing to go to the mall with me. You're going to buy for me? You're going to buy me some, huh? Of course I'm buying. Perfect. I'm always buying. You're always buying because I'm always selling. No, you're buying because you've got the money bags, all right? Money bags in your green pants and whatnot. All right, let me get my stuff together. Let me make myself pretty because if I'm going out in public, I've got to be like that pig. People are like, oh my God, is that that pig? And I'm like, yeah, of course it is. Hey, what's going on, bro? Like that. Yeah, yeah, no, okay. Okay, you finish this up and I'm going to get ready. I'm going to call Petey Porridge also and I'm going to… Porridge Petey? Porridge Petey, yeah. And we're going to see if he can hook us up. Okay. Okay. Bye, everybody. 2017. You know what I mean? It's me, Aloysius. Hugs and hearts. Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop. All right, good job. Thanks so much for hanging out, pig. You made me feel better. You actually made me feel a lot better about everything. And you know what? That's how I want to feel and that's how I want you to feel is better.
