I wonder if all like two will ever be and yeah, Aloysius J. Pig 0:33 it probably won’t. Unknown Speaker 0:37 I said and making do and think in everything everything though I even though I even though I don’t even know sometimes what I mean probably sleepy, tired grumpy out of steam probably woke up on the bed wrong. I guess. Tomorrow’s another day? I think so let’s hold out hope for brighter things. And better days. Don’t let the goose’s weigh you down. How heavy can Natty Bumpercar 1:35 crowd crying inside outside turn that smile around a frown flowers in the ground are bright bird up in the air I think I can I think I might around in circles. Tonight I’m fine. Okay. Fine. I’m okay. Fine, okay. here more than five more than okay. Over under the stars much too close. And much too far. More brains a spongy one g fuzzy. Unknown Speaker 3:01 Few fuse. tangental paradox. I go high lately since bid up to a smidge of dread. That’s okay. We just move forward Porsche so we can do everything and every day wake up and go on and on about your day. I mentioned this to you my friends. My podcast pounds in hopes you’re good in hopes you’re well in hopes you smile. Rufus T. Rufus 3:59 Now, Aloysius, what’s the word here? Was it what would what just happened? Was that the episode or was he okay once I mean what’s happened is I don’t understand that was very different from anything that we have produced in the past so this is this is new territory. Aloysius J. Pig 4:15 Yeah, so I don’t know that was pre recorded. And he’s he’s sleeping right now. It seems fine to me. Are you sleeping I could be any better than that. My take on it is he’s okay. However, the he’s a little bit upset with himself because he recorded the 400th episode big episode big planes and then kind of took a month off so now I didn’t get happening sorry. Got a little popcorn seat up but my teeth Rufus T. Rufus 4:15 popcorn I know what it told me there’s gonna be popcorn is as any as any I left now just read it. Aloysius J. Pig 4:53 Oh, yeah, no, I you know, you got to put food in front of it. What am I gonna do? I’m gonna finish it. That’s what I do. Yeah, But anyway, I’ll talk to him. We’ll see what happens and he’s good. We’ll see. We’ll talk to him. Hopefully we’ll do another episode next week we can pick out get back on track. You know how it is. So it’s always that that August slump and then when there’s a big episode sometimes then there’s a lag so we’re fine. Everything’s good Bumperpodcastketeers I’ll say hi. Hello. wacky funny jokes and everything. I’ll always just JPG here with Rufus T. Rufus. And I don’t know man I that song though. Oh, wow. He Rufus T. Rufus 5:35 is that what we’re calling the song that’s the title of it off off Eve? Because I need to you know if we’re gonna be putting that out I don’t know if we are but I do need a title. So right now I’m going to pin cillian off Aloysius J. Pig 5:49 off so perfect. Oh, lately I had to go Oh, he or not something is a different song. But he I get the I get the drift. I mean, like the bad guy, but he was just like a drone. I don’t want to I don’t want to upset him and I’ll feel Listen to this. But Wow. Wow. Give that kid some milk. Right. So energy. I don’t know what a nice piece of cheese Maybe? Maybe a pretzel. Oh, I would know a pretzel Rufus T. Rufus 6:22 with a pretzel now you’re gonna go a classical with the salt on top of salted pretzels. Are you gonna go with the new kid on the block? But I feel like a strong contender the cinnamon and sugar? Aloysius J. Pig 6:36 That’s an excellent question. Um, for me, you know, it’s the classic that I want savory, or do I want sweet? That’s going to depend on the time of the day. It’s going to be in you know, depending on my my, just my mood in general, what am I having to drink with it? some sort of a beverage. I do know that the cinnamon and sugar is going to wear me out because I’m going to have a sugar rush, obviously. So there’s a lot of bits and pieces variables to consider. But I you know, I think they all have their merits. They have the pros so and they have their cons obviously or not. Rufus T. Rufus 7:10 Here’s my plan. I think we should get together and discuss this. But what we’re going to do is we’re going to have a pretzel meal. We’re also going to start off with the salt pretzle. So big salt in pretzel, you know, you get your meal there. And then for dessert now for dessert, I’m thinking we’re gonna have the cinnamon and sugar pretzel, how about that? Why don’t they promote it this way? Hey, you you want to prep so you can’t decide between this one or that one? We’re gonna give it to you half and a half. We’re gonna give you the salted and then later on, you’re going to come back with the cinnamon and sugar. We’re going to call it a pret a duo of pretzels. duet of breads do i do Aloysius J. Pig 7:52 Oh, do what do what? pretzel two ways? Yeah, I don’t know. But yeah, okay. I was gonna stay here and hang out with Bumpercar because it was kind of worried or whatever. But like now Yeah, let’s let’s pretzel. Rufus T. Rufus 8:04 It is pretzel time. Outro 8:20 The bumper podcast is an oftentimes hilarious weekly romp with Natty Bumpercar and some of his pals.

And and and I want to let you know that we’re only three episodes away from our 400th episode, wait, including today, it might be 297 9899 and then 400 Whoa. And so we want to do something super special for the 400th episode. So what I’ve done is I’ve written a an intro, and it’s like a song type of thing. And I sent it out to a bunch of people. And I was just like, hey, just you can read this or you can sing it or whatever. And here’s the thing. I was wondering if you would want to be part of the intro to if you do, just find me at Natty Bumpercar on Twitter and send me a message. And then I’ll send you the script for the intro. And then I’ll put it all together. And then maybe you can be part of something that’s pretty cool. At least I think it’s pretty cool. I think it’s pretty special. Pretty super special. Just like you. Come on. Let’s do it. What’s going on everybody? It’s me. Natty. Natty. Natty. He is Natty Bumpercar. And I’m thrilled to be with you here today because I’ve got an amazing story. A phenomenal story. Something that same Aloysius J. Pig 1:23 Natty, What’s your story? Well, you can get to it soon, I’m sure. But before you get to it, I had a pretty cool story is well, Natty Bumpercar 1:31 that’s great pig. But this like, I really want to share this story. And I kind of thought this was just going to be one of those like Bumpercar tells a story kind of episode. Rufus T. Rufus 1:40 That would be unfortunate and indiscriminate as I also have a couple I actually have several 123 if you have two now that’s a couple. Right? And three, what is that several as several stories that I wanted to impart upon two days. Okay, my podcast. Natty Bumpercar 2:00 I don’t think that I really don’t think we have time because I wanted to help my I have one story and I was super excited about telling it and so maybe can we can I can I just tell my story? Aloysius J. Pig 2:13 Yes. So wait. So now you’re saying that nobody else gets to tell a story. It’s gonna be all you the whole time. Rufus T. Rufus 2:20 You know, I had three scores, and I wanted to tell it as all the truth, truth and if so facto. Okay, think of the word. Natty Bumpercar 2:34 But guys, you’re just speaking gibberish. I just, we’re already, like, almost three minutes in and I want to tell my story. And so how about I’ll tell my story, then pig, you can tell your story. And then Rufus, if we can, you can tell as many stories as you want with the time that we have left. Aloysius J. Pig 2:51 I mean, that seems okay to me is whatever I don’t want even I don’t even want to fire energy. Rufus T. Rufus 2:56 I’m gaining the fuel gauge. Okay, so let’s, let’s proceed. Natty Bumpercar 3:00 Okay, great. So in taking care of time, we had a yard sale last weekend. In the morning, I got up and I moved the car around the corner so that there’ll be more room in the driveway for the stuff. And when I moved the car was like 730 in the morning. There was a mama duck. And she was gray. And she had this bright blue stripe on her. And she was standing there with with with five little ducklings, right right on the corner. And so I got out, but Lily said it was a mother’s a duck. She’s like a mom. There was a mama and five little ducklings and they were standing on the corner. Aloysius J. Pig 3:39 And so your story’s about ducks. Natty Bumpercar 3:41 Yeah, why I don’t like that’s the name of the episode is lucky ducks and so yeah. Aloysius J. Pig 3:47 Okay, whatever I don’t care about and I’ve never read the title. But the thing is, my story is also about ducks. Natty Bumpercar 3:54 Really? Okay, what is yours? Aloysius J. Pig 3:56 Yeah. So I’m walking down by Dr. stream. And there’s some ducks around doing duck things. quacking swimming, whatnot. And all of a sudden this mama doc runs over. She’s got some little baby ducks winner. Right. And she’s freaked out. Okay. Natty Bumpercar 4:16 Oh, okay. Well, this is interesting, because I think I know why she was Rufus T. Rufus 4:20 now hold on one second as your legal representation here not a Rufus T. Rufus and telling you not to say another word. I believe that this is being recorded somehow, somewhere some ways somehow. I did that twice. But so I would say do not implicate yourself if you if you consider yourself happy as a free man, Natty Bumpercar 4:43 obviously happy as a free man. But I’m not going to implicate myself because I didn’t do anything wrong. So pig. I think what happened was, so I saw the ducks, I took their picture, and I was gonna show it to the kids. And then she wandered off right and the little ducklings followed Her but then I still heard this like, all around me. It was baby ducks. And I was looking around everywhere. And, Aloysius J. Pig 5:13 and I know and they had fallen into the sewer great Is this what is this true? This is what she was saying she was saying to all the ducks, she was like, ducks, ducks, we gotta go save my babies they fell down into. She didn’t say super great because she said metal hole is what she said. Natty Bumpercar 5:31 Yeah, so that’s exactly what happened. I looked down. And there were I think I counted like six baby tiny little ducklings. And they were stuck down in the sewer. And then I lay down. And I saw I tried to see if I could get my arm in there to get them but there wasn’t enough space. And so then I Rufus T. Rufus 5:48 hold on one second because this was right around when I would have received a phone call woke me up out of my slumber, my beauty sleep. And it was a mama duck and she was honking and squawking about the greats, the metal holes. She said, this town, my babies, I need help. I need representation. And I said, Ma’am, I will be there. Sweet. Aloysius J. Pig 6:15 So I saw her on the phone. When she was she was talking all the ducks to get them to help but nobody could help because you know, where’s it gonna go? And then she said she was on the telephone. And so she must have been talking to you because then she scooped up all her babies. And she ran off. She said, I gotta I gotta go. I gotta go. I gotta go. Natty Bumpercar 6:34 Don’t go. No, I’m just kidding. So here’s the thing. I called home because I was about a block and a half away. And I was like, here’s a situation. It’s a very serious situation, get over here with the kids. And then while they were coming over, actually called the police. And they sent over three cars to help. Rufus T. Rufus 6:58 That’s interesting to me because I actually met mama duck at the police station and there were no cars there. There wasn’t there was no one that to help us. They said they also said they are often very important business and they would not tell me what was going on. Aloysius J. Pig 7:14 So in and I’m still over by the string with the ducks. And we actually got out some we were going to we were drawn up on paper some plans to see how we could figure out how to get the dogs out and there was we thought your ducks are not great planets. Okay, don’t I’m not besmirching. But from my experience my own personal experience, ducks. Not so great. Natty Bumpercar 7:37 Okay, well, so what I said the police came, and I had, I was able to lift the great, like, maybe a half an inch up, but it was really heavy. And so these guys, they were giant, they were really big. And they came and they, you know, they’re looking at it, they’re like, oh, we’re gonna call the town that you know, they’re gonna have to bring over a tractor to lift this and also and I was just like, Guys, I’m scrawny, I was able to lift it a bit, I think that you can do it. And they got these tools out. And we figured out the physics of where the fulcrum where you should put the thing to pull the things you can get down in there. And it was like a 45 minute ordeal. And the thing was, there were two pipes under the street. There’s one under the whole street, and then one smaller one. And what they would do is they would run back and forth so we had to take off two grades, and they would just ppppp in there would you get him get quieter as they were going under the street. And you’re like oh the ran over that way. And and we even like that we put like a something into the great to kind of like make them make the decision to come closer towards and they finally did. And while we were getting the ducks, we realized, wait, we gotta have somewhere to put these ducks. So I ran home and I got a little container. And it was so funny because my kid he grabbed like, like, a little sauce pot like small and I was like what do you that’s, that’s big enough for one duck. We got 767 ducks over there. Rufus T. Rufus 9:09 I want to make sure he was not grabbing a sauce bought for any other reason. I’m just gonna make a notation here. Okay, Aloysius J. Pig 9:17 real fancy doing okay, your voice got a little grizzled. Rufus T. Rufus 9:20 I’m just worried about the duck lenses all you understand. Natty Bumpercar 9:25 He wasn’t gonna do anything the ducks. But we brought a bigger container. We put them in there. I brought a towel because they kept hopping out Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop. And we eventually got all the ducklings Hooray. It was a big deal. In the process, one of the ducklings had jumped out and run under a bush. And so that was a big deal. And I thought that they had gotten that duck. So then I carried all of them over. The police and I we made a parade across the street. And I went to where I had seen the mama duck kind of go early exit down by the Double string riveting, huh? Yeah, yeah. And so we went there was this house that someone had bought and they were doing work on it so there was no one there. So we went down that driveway and at the end of the driveway It was like this crazy hedge that someone had cut a an entrance into it but it was all it wasn’t like a nice It was like all the draggled and scary and like Narnia and bad times and then we got back there and there’s this like dilapidated shed house and a tree and fall and there was a bridge over the steel was a lot to take this Rufus T. Rufus 10:34 and there was a tree that had fallen. I wonder if I can litigate that situation for them. Did you get the no address for me? Sir? Natty Bumpercar 10:42 Of course I didn’t. I didn’t. That’s not the first thing that I think of it’s not even like the fifth thing I think of if I’m gonna be completely Aloysius J. Pig 10:48 alright settled down bump a guy that’s you don’t need to be mean. All right, just tell you that story. Natty Bumpercar 10:52 Yeah. So all ducks saved. And we I walked over the bridge around ended up getting poison ivy Ray, and went to the edge of the of the little stream. And to the right of us into the leftover series. There was a lot of ducks, I would say about 2030 ducks. And my my family were worried they were like, well, I don’t see the mom do you? And I was like, Listen, I’m sure one of these ducks knows mama duck. And she’s gonna relay the information to where they are to her that you know the babies are here. So we just kind of took the container over and all the ducklings they just hopped out. And it was the cute like it was so and then here’s the fun thing. Like they could walk right? But they also they just hopped right in the water and they started swimming. And it was like, just like, I was like, look at you guys with your swimming. Aloysius J. Pig 11:49 All right. So any Did you have any other like, debts your whole story? Natty Bumpercar 11:54 You know? No. So then later in the day after the yard sale, our neighbor had somebody who bought something from us was a blender and she didn’t know how to use a blender and she was asking me how to use the blender. And so I went over and I was trying to show her Now bear in mind she had bought this blender for $3 which in my mind at a yard sale. If you buy something for $3 and you take it away, the transaction is done. I’m not I’m not your tech support. I’m not I don’t have to explain how the blender works. It’s a blender, but I went over to show her. I’m standing on the stairs and I looked down I heard PPP. I looked down and went Oh, and then she looked down and screamed. It was one it was a baby duckling. And when she yelled he ran around the house to move and baby ducklings gonna run really quick and the dogs barking Can you contain them? Rufus T. Rufus 12:43 I am not on doggy duty I cannot those dogs, they are more than I can handle back to you Bumpercar Natty Bumpercar 12:51 So I ran around he kind of fell into this little hole like some stairs so I was able to wrangle him and then I held them close to my heart and he calmed down and then we walked back over across the street through the same place and and I just kind of gently had put him down on the ground and he went PPP down some rocks and then he hopped into the stream and then he just swam away. It was the cutest seller. Aloysius J. Pig 13:20 I think in between those times duck save in one and duck save the dough. I was no longer down at the creek I go 100 take a nap if I’m to be completely honest. And huh so odds are two stories were the same story just from different perspectives Rufus T. Rufus 13:36 here now and and sounds like one of my stores was also tied up as mama duck. And just so you know, we did come back she and I to the correct and we found no babies so she was reunited and I but she was still missing that one. So I hope that he got back to you because that’s that’s that sounds like a beautiful story. Natty Bumpercar 14:00 See, at the beginning of the episode, we were all fighting over who’s gonna tell our stories and it sounds like my story and pig story and Rufus. His story. were all the same. So they were all tied together. Aloysius J. Pig 14:09 I think he had three stories. Natty Bumpercar 14:12 Yeah, yep. Yep. Yep. I was kind of hoping that we managed to avoid that. But sure. Rufus. Do you have other stories? Rufus T. Rufus 14:18 I do. I do. I do. Both of my other stories they really rely on circumnavigate around the grocery store where I went and I was looking for some peanut butter. But I have since discovered that I’ve got a bit of a peanut butter allergy. And then but I do miss very much peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And then I cannot tell you that they have invented a peanut free peanut butter is what it’s called, is it could just be called butter I suppose. But I got it and it’s delicious and just thrilled to be here. back in the saddle back in the peanut butter and jelly sandwich said all right, Natty Bumpercar 15:04 well, I’m thrilled at you. Good job. Um, that makes me happy. So that’s two stories. We’re already running late. So what’s your last story? Rufus T. Rufus 15:13 Well, it all began when I was a child growing up in the woods Aloysius J. Pig 15:19 now the mount can’t do it. Nope, nope. Nope. Any story that starts off when I when I was a kid, I am out maybe other episodes. Yeah, kid. Natty Bumpercar 15:28 We can’t sorry. Rufus That’s weird. Yeah, maybe maybe you can have your own episode coming up at some point, but probably not. We’ll see. Alright, everybody. I hope the little ducklings are listening. We save your lives. Yay.

    About This Episode

    In this personal episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar shares stories from his recent whirlwind trip to Georgia. Natty recounts helping his childhood best friend clean out his parents' house in Macon, Georgia, triggering waves of nostalgia from their friendship that began in traumatic swim lessons at age four. The episode features humorous tales of Southern food adventures including barbecue, Brunswick stew, and a leaky fried chicken restaurant, followed by a grueling 25-hour drive to Boulder, Colorado. Between managing his clumsy cone-wearing puppy Banjo, dealing with a broken trampoline, and hosting a virtual drawing session for schoolchildren, Natty ends the episode explaining how he broke his pinky toe by walking into a cabinet.

    Memorable Quotes

    “They put us at the deep end of the pool… walked up behind us and pushed. Sploosh. Down into the water. That's how we learned to swim… that's a scary way to learn how to swim.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “He's got this cone on his head and he hits me right in the back of the calf… he's very insistent like hey hey hey I'm gonna hit you I'm gonna hit you hard.”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I stood up and I walked directly into a very heavy cabinet… I yelped I fell on the ground and I was just like rolling around… Banjo came over with his cone and he tried to love me to death.”

    Natty Bumpercar: Well now I went down to Georgia for a while for about four days and now I forgot how to talk because sometimes when I go back home I just start talking like I used to talk which was kind of like this. It wasn't exactly like this but it was kind of like this and I wait a minute no that's not did I? I mean I did go to Georgia. I was there for for three days two days. It was I had the craziest trip you guys. I know you probably like bumper car. You can't just put out an episode a month. I understand that. I know that but life has been coming at me crazy fast. So here's what's been going on. Step one I had to fly to Georgia to help my best friend out. We had to clean his pants. We had to clean his parents house out. We had a I flew to Georgia and then we drove to a place called Macon Georgia. Macon Bacon. Macon Trouble. Macon Macon. Yeah I don't know um and and we we got a 20 foot uh tall. No that'd be amazing. Do you do you know that you know the difference between tall and long? Uh probably right? Like your height that's how tall you are. Your arms if you stretch them out that's how long I don't know. Hard to explain but you know when you're driving down the road and you see a big truck and it's really long or a train that's really long that's that's that's long. That's not a good description is it? Huh that's fine too. Anyway it was a 20 foot long truck and I mean come to think of it it was probably like 12 or 13 feet tall. It was pretty tall and we emptied out the entire house and we were straightening and cleaning and going room by room. And and and getting rid of stuff um because his mom moved to where he lives and so they were getting rid of the house and it was there were emotions. I had emotions. There was a lot of nostalgia. We we drove around. I've known this friend since we were four years old. I used to say three years old but he contends that it was four or five years old and so now I'm like what? Oh so I did give a little bit of ground on the three so now I'll say four. We met when we were um in swim lessons and this is how the swim lessons used to go so just get ready kids. They put us at the deep end of the pool and our swim instructor was this woman and I can't remember her name but she walked up behind us in the deep end of the pool. A four year old. Several of us and put her hand on her back our backs and pushed. Sploosh. Down into the water. That's how we we learned to swim and then she had this thing that she would kind of reach out into the pool and pull us back and and that's not that's a scary way to learn how to swim. I'm just gonna tell you. And so it was through that trauma through that trial by fiery water that we we bonded and we became pals and so this house it I spent more time in this house growing up than in any other house and um so there were a lot of emotions involved with that just you know walking room to room and uh they have a a separate little room it's a bonus room is what they call it oh look at this your house has a bonus room and it's above the garage and it was never finished it was kind of like a big storage area and um it has this smell and it's not a bad smell it's just like when I open the door to look in and see how much stuff I have I'm like oh my god I'm so I was hit by this smell now smell is cool for memory um like you can walk into someplace or and you can smell something and and your mind will just get flooded with all these memories where you're like I remember you know this place and you can just close your eyes and you just know where you are and it's it's just so cool and so that's how it was and we uh so we were down there and we were in the pool and we were like oh my god I'm so excited I'm so excited I'm so excited we're we're packing stuff we get the truck uh we're going to all these places like to eat like you know oh remember this place let's go get food there or whatever and um one of the places i went by myself well i had a big food day which i do not recommend because my tummy still hurts where we had um barbecue and we had something called brunswick stew which is made in brunswick georgia and it's it's this stewy thing that you get at barbecue places and it's so good and after that i went and i got curly fries seasoned curly fries from this place that i really like and then after that i went to another place a fried chicken place and i didn't get fried chicken but i did get a honey buttered biscuit oh it was so good and uh an order of fried okra which is um magical thing and really one of the only ways i'll eat okra because have you ever had okra it's it can be a little creepy if i'm gonna be completely honest um i do like pickled okra but only on very rare occasions uh stewed okra no thank you too slimy too creepy you keep that over there fried okra every day my friend but i'm standing there and well first when i walk into the uh the fried chicken place you know sometimes when you go to stores people will say something like how are you welcome to my store hello customer hello friend whatever it is uh all she said and she just yelled at she she said um what are you having and i was like ah that's a lot of pressure like i want i didn't get to acclimate i didn't get to get my my feet wet but i did almost get my feet wet because about five feet to the right of the register uh where you're you know where you're going to get your food and get your stuff and she's like oh you're an expert so he's like what just friends i'm like realized that we didn't know what it was and so then we had a sir cramp and i thought to myself that i was going to get my phone bill here you know buying the stuff there's a there was a giant hole in the ceiling um where there's all these exposed uh like air conditioner pipes and there was all this water falling not even just dripping but kind of raining and it wasn't raining outside this was internal raining and there was a giant puddle on the floor so there was a there was a big pan that was full of this sealing water and then there was a big puddle on the floor and the whole time i was i like experiences and to me this is an adventure and an experience i'm getting off so i'll very soon without the trip so i'm going to maybe come back so i'll take me there now if somebody's gonna buy me a little bit and to me this is an adventure and experience and I was just like this this is what I want in the world I want weird stuff like this um and what I ended up with uh not gonna lie again a stomach ache and then that night we went to uh downtown Macon which I mean it existed as a thing but it didn't exist like this and we saw a friend and we had dinner outside and there were lights and it was gorgeous and it was the best thing ever anyway loaded the truck and drove all the way to Boulder Colorado 25 hours so far unloaded the truck returned the truck flew back home so tired but good happy right yeah and then on top of that uh my little puppy dog Banjo who's a pointer he had to go get um a little medical procedure done because he's at that certain puppy dog age he's running around the house with a cone and he's already a pretty clumsy dog right he runs into stuff but now he's got this cone on his head and he hits me right in the back of the calf that's like the bottom back of your leg and it hurts so bad and he's very he's not aggressive about it but he's very insistent like hey hey hey I'm gonna hit you I'm gonna hit you hard I'm gonna continually hit you hey guess what I'm still hitting you and it hurts a lot um but that's okay because he just loves that much right and that's a sweet thing what else is going on well our trampoline broke so that's no good because the kids go on it every single day and our neighbor kids go on it too dun dun dun how did it break well trampolines have these cool poles that go around that have a net somehow they broke one of the poles that's broken cool can we fix that I don't know oh but wait hey look we also somehow managed to put a rip in the actual trampoline okay trampoline is gone then no more trampolines so I have to figure that out and then we're gonna have a yard sale in a couple weeks and then I'm doing all this fun stuff for the school I got to do a virtual it was like an hour long draw along with my kids uh school it was like first graders second graders third graders they were and uh we we drew something for the art teacher and it was really fun and it was really it was a great time and I want to do that more often speaking of that I'm going to show you a little bit of a video of me doing a little bit of a thing more often I want to thank Jessica Sager she is our first Patreon Patreoner Patreonee person who Patreons I don't know how it works but it's fun I didn't say her name last time

my right foot is that nice no how did I do that I stood up and I walked directly into a very heavy cabinet and it I I was on the ground I yelped I fell on the ground and I was just like rolling around like and then you know what happened of course no Rufus T.
