Natty Bumpercar: all right i just keep on yawning i wonder how this works with a podcast like in normal life if you're near someone and then they yawn then for some reason i don't know what but you you yawn as well i do i don't know if you do i think you do do you why is that it's like a yawn response like why are we why are we triggered i'm just i'm glad it doesn't happen when we sneeze like one person sneezes and then the whole table sneezing that'd be terrible but yawning that's weird too like why anyway i apologize i didn't mean to yawn this is natty bumper car and uh this is bumper podcast i uh i've been out and about and i uh you know i'm i'm working on the show here uh going to the different uh the uh different countries uh where the bumper podcast is he's on the charts it's actually we we've made it to the charts and uh you know talking to people oh they said you need a theme song gotta go get a theme song and i was just like ah we okay we'll get a theme song and then they're like you know what you got to do and everybody they all have an opinion you know what you got to do and i was just like i don't know what what what am i supposed to do and then they tell me all these things and i i at some point while they're speaking my my eyes kind of glaze over and my brain goes to another place and uh if i'm to be completely honest i don't know what they've said to me uh but i'm sure they've given me great advice and and then i feel guilty because these people have given their time to try to tell me you know get to help me to tell me what to do and then i i don't even listen how how ungrateful is that tremendously ungrateful oh what else is going on i've been working on uh the railroad like all my live long days uh but mostly i've been working on the railroad uh just just to pass the time away um because i'm not busy enough i um i i like to i like to i have a therapist i was talking to my therapist about uh she said you seem overwhelmed seem like you're taking too much stuff on i was just like yeah and she's like but you i know you like to do that and you told me that you know as long as you're feeling okay then that's okay are you feeling okay and i was just like no and uh so then she was like well then you need to take some stuff off of your plate and stop doing as much stuff and i'm like well i'm just like i'm just like i'm just like i'm just i was just like okay that sounds good in practice those are good words i have no idea how to actually make that happen and um then she said uh well your session is over and come back in a couple weeks and uh by that time either you will have figured it out or we can work on it then or knowing you you're probably gonna start three more companies and take on 16 more uh impossible tasks and i was just like all right that sounds like a challenge that's it seems like you're saying can you do these things and i'm gonna tell you right now yes i can i can i can do all those things um and uh i'm here to tell you bumper podcast i've i've succeeded in doing that i am quite proud of myself and i feel like you should be quite proud of me as well because uh i have managed to uh not only not complete not finish uh any projects but i have managed to actually take more projects on it's very impressive uh it's my superpower really if i had to you know figure that i have a superpower i think it's going to be um that i just continually add on to my life and i'm going to keep doing it and i'm going to keep more projects uh i'm going to be able to continue to work heavy and reflect and improve more on myself and and i think that's probably what inspired me to want to remain open um and me with uh this نیس كلمن g wa无 سال i think generally vaccinations have the same implications as you as a entrepreneur although this is my trick so if i were to just do a cost on profit i could get a little low so let's get down to business from me so i'm going to say yes i garden for this all right i'm talking about residual 쓰기 all right Uh, oh, okay. Oh, look how perfect everything. Great. Ah, you know, and then you go, you know what I'm going to do? I'm not going to take on a lot of projects. I'm going to take on the appropriate amount of projects, which, uh, is none because life itself is a project. Taking care of the kids, having the job, taking care of the dogs. These are all projects. Making sure that the car is working properly, making sure that, you know, there's just, there's in life, there's this massive list. It seems of things that you can't get away from. And, and, you know, those are a big responsibility. And, uh, do I make sure the kids brush their teeth? Did they, did they floss their teeth? Oh, I don't know. Look, that one's already asleep. How do I get him to brush his teeth when he's already asleep? So then why in the world would I go and look for more things, more responsibilities to add onto the pile? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm asking you a question because I don't know the answer. And, uh, I wish I did. Sometimes I think that what I do, and maybe we've talked about this before. I honestly don't remember. And I apologize for that. But what I like to do is, uh, if I just keep adding more stuff onto my weighted blanket, of life, uh, then, uh, well, I don't know what I think is going to happen, but what ends up happening is the weighted blanket gets so heavy with all the responsibilities that I can't move. And then, you know what I do? Uh, I sleep under the weighted blanket. It's very warm. I must say, um, the dogs love it because I'm not moving so they can just curl right up to me. Uh, I had no idea. Like I've had, you know, dogs before, but, uh, I had no idea how much the dogs, they like to sleep. Like that's all they do really is sleep. All right. Bumper podcast. I don't know if you've ever been in the middle of recording a really great episode of your podcast, which I understand is not what we were doing, uh, a second ago there, but let's say that I was recording a really, really good episode of the podcast. And, uh, you know, you're just really moving and you're talking and you're saying things and you're like, yeah, this feels great. And then your, uh, kid bursts in and says, Hey, stop talking to your computer. And I'm just like, Oh, that really, that really boils it down. Doesn't it? That really hurts. Stop talking to your computer, dad. Ouch. Huh? Cause I mean, I mean, in essence, all I'm doing really is I'm talking, I mean, I'm looking at a computer, I'm talking into a microphone and, uh, you know, I have, I have headphones on so that, you know, there's, there's, uh, you know, there's a few things that are going on, but, uh, I felt like he had, um, gotten me good enough that there was no reason for me to, uh, to try to retort, to try to, to try to come back. Uh, he, he had beaten me down as, as only your children can. Uh, what was I talking about? It is. That's the thing. This was yesterday and now it's today. And I, uh, I don't know. I, I wasn't ready to, you know, I, yesterday I ate oatmeal for breakfast and, and today I ate grits. Grits are just little tiny bits of corn and there was some cheese in it and some pepper and a little bit of garlic salt. If I'm to be completely honest, uh, maybe, maybe some cheese, maybe, maybe more cheese than I intended, but you know, that's how cheese works. And they say, how much cheese would you like on this? And you're like, keep going. And then it's always just a little bit more than you anticipated or wanted. And that's fine. That's a good problem to have. Uh, it's different than like a gasoline in your car, right? With cheese, they say, how much do you get? Like, fill it up, keep going, let's go. And they're like, what does fill it up mean with cheese? And you're like, I don't know, but we're on this journey together. Let's see what happens. So, you know, if you do that at a gas station, you're filling your car up and they're like, what did you, what do you want? And you're like, ah, fill it up. And they're like, okay, no problem. And then they do. And then, you know, the little gas handle thing goes click because that means it's full. It's registered that the car is full of gas. And you're like, you know what? Let's keep going there. You can't because then the gas spills, uh, everywhere. And, and you know, it's a fire hazard cheese. Not so much. The only hazard that cheese is, is a fun hazard, uh, fromage hazard. I don't know what it is. Uh, so anyway, you know, I think I was saying something about the dogs being lazy. I don't know why I think that, but I, uh, this is kind of always, on my mind, how, how, how lazy the dogs, the only time the dogs get up, uh, and this is nice of them is when they have to use the, uh, the restroom, which is what we call our backyard now, because that's, you know, what happens back there. It's in, it's, and they, uh, get up when they, uh, when they're hungry and, uh, they get up to, uh, to bark sometimes to, to shake, you know, a lot of shaking going on, uh, a little, ear scratching. That's going to, that's going to happen probably at two or three in the morning. Um, which is, I think why they sleep all the time. I think the dogs sleep all the time because they don't just sleep through the night and they don't let me sleep through the night. And I think that the message they're trying to tell me is, Hey, you know what? Why don't you just hop onto our schedule here and, uh, curl up into a ball, find one ray of sunshine, curl up in that little ray of sunshine and, uh, pretend that it's really warming you up. It's not, but you can pretend it is. My assumption is that my dogs have very good, uh, imagination and that they can really, you're like, yep, this is, it's woof. The sun is really giving it to me here. It's kind of like when, uh, the door opens and there's a couple of birds in the backyard and they, they run over. What I can only assume is to talk to the birds, uh, let them know, Hey, what's going on? I haven't seen you in a while. Oh, spring is coming, huh? But the birds always fly off because they don't want any part of that conversation, right? I don't know. I, I would love to have that conversation. I would love for spring to be here because you know what happens, uh, when, when spring rolls around, well, uh, I get to sleep better because the time change is nice. There's sun and there's vitamins. And the most important thing of all, uh, is that the birds don't want to be in the And I think you're going to agree with me than this thing here is, is that there's a lot of cheese.
