Natty Bumpercar: that you're a chicken everybody knows that i love little chicken hey everybody slow everybody just

Rufus T. Rufus: think this song could be great if you don't say stupid stuff um no you're in my head and i don't

Doodle Poodle: know what to say i love the music and i love the beat but i don't know what to say i agree this was

Natty Bumpercar: fun but then all of a sudden there's rules and stuff and i don't know what i'm supposed to do and i don't know what i'm supposed to say is this dumb i feel like this is dumb am i being dumb right now yeah

Rufus T. Rufus: okay if you gotta ask then you're probably being dumb if you gotta ask this you know the song is done how about that producer shut it down now wow you know that was that was fun we haven't done a little song like that in a long time so i understand we're a little bit out of practice but honestly uh producer that the the the the the the beats the jams the rhythm it was all so much fun i was i was astounded by it great job yeah no i heard uh i was i was a little bit out of my mind I was over in the kitchen, right? I was going to make myself a little sound. And I heard a calamity over here, the ruckus, if you will, the music. And I said to myself, I'm going to hold off on this sandwich and go see what everybody's up to over in the studio. And I came over, and y'all looked so happy, smiling, and your head's bopping to the beat. And then I stopped listening to the words, what you're saying, and I said, I gave up my sandwich for this? This is what I can't, I could have stayed over in the kitchen, is what I'm saying. Yeah, well, again, I was having fun.

Natty Bumpercar: I think it's okay to have fun and for it not to be perfect. And if it's a little silly, or if you make mistakes, because that's kind of how you learn, is by doing. And we haven't done a song in so long.

Rufus T. Rufus: And then right when we came in, I heard the music, and I was like, this, let's, you know, I didn't expect it, and I didn't know it was going to happen, but was I excited? Yes, very. And was I ready? Not so much. I don't even have my rhyme book. You guys, if I'm to be honest, I don't even, I didn't bring it in today. You know, I brought these receipts. I brought, this seems to be a candy wrapper. This is a napkin. I just, I have garbage. I have garbage in my pocket here, but I don't have my rhymes. So, you know, I just kind of went with it, and I don't know. Now, Natty? This is, I hear you. This is all valid. I appreciate you.

Producer: Um. Yeah, it's really, you guys are doing great with the therapy, right? We're doing group therapy, and so sometimes we all get together, and we talk, you know? And so we were trying to figure out how to not fight on the podcast as much, and we, so we, so now what we're going to do is we're going to bring in another person, a third party, and talk to them about it so that we could kind of, you know, stop, again, fighting on the podcast.

Rufus T. Rufus: Wait, you guys actually did that? I thought that was a joke. I thought, I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw the message come across, you know, but what happens with me is, on my devices, you know, I'll be there playing the games with the, you know, it's like a, I don't know, some sort of word game, but there's like little animals, and there's like, you have to do, it's a fun game. They say it tests your mind. It brings elasticity to your brain, and so I was sitting there playing, and bloop, there goes a message, right? And it said, uh, uh, uh, schedule group, uh, group therapy bumper podcast. And I, and I said, oh, well, now this is interesting. And I went to click on it, and it had already disappeared. And what happens, I clicked an, an, an advertisement, and, uh, I guess the game, uh, is, you've got these little ads, so you don't got to pay for it necessarily. And, and then all of a sudden, I'm in this space game, and it's like, you got to save the, the princess, the planet, the princess of planets or something, planets of princesses. And I said, oh, my word, you know, and I got into it, because I, I, you know, you throw me into a situation like that, and I'm going to step up, because that's what I do. And, and I, you know, I said, all right, let's go. And then, uh, honestly, uh, it was an ad that you couldn't even, I felt like I was playing, but I, nothing, I wasn't controlling nothing. But what I did was I went in, I played the game, I gave them my credit card information, and, uh, they, they took it very willingly, I'll say. And, uh, now the game has turned into, uh, me, uh, working with my bank and trying to, to, well, they took, they took everything, the, the, the, the princess planets. They took all my, all my money. And, uh. Rufus? What were we talking about? Okay, Rufus, okay. We're going to, we're going to put a pin in that, because we're going to, we have, obviously got to come back to, um, hmm, you giving out your credit card information and now losing all of the, your money. Um, oh, pig, I thought we were supposed to, like, cut him off from the, um, the outside stuff. I thought it was just, you know, the games are fine, but as long as they just are on the phone and they're not, you know, whatever, going around into the world, you're not, you're not, like, talking to anybody on these games, are you? Well, I mean, it's not so much as a, as a, as a talk. Uh, I'm happy to say I didn't cross that line. But what it is, is they make you a, a, a, an avatar. You know, I, you see you sit there and you can design it. And I put, uh, look at me. I'm like a, a, a kitten is what my, I made it. It's orange, got some stripes, you know. I put some fun of glasses on them, fun of hat. And, uh, I named them. Now, hold on. It's Kool Cat, but with all, with all, it's K-U-L-K-A-T. Yeah, Kool, Kool. It looks like it says Kull Cat, but, uh, the regular Kool Cat was taken, and Kool Cat, uh, all the way up to 49 was taken. Kool Cat 1, Kool Cat 2, all the way. And so I said, all right, let's, let's mix this up a little bit. And so what I did was, uh, K-O-O-L Cat, uh, and that was also taken way up into the numbers. And I said, all right, let's kind of mix this up a little bit. And then I figured out, uh, U can sound, if you do it right, if you look at it, you know, kind of to the side, that U, it's going to sound like the, the, uh, ooh, right? So Kool, Kool Cat was my name. Okay, stop, stop. So I think we've, we've, again, we've lost the thread here a little bit. So are you speaking to, are the people, are you talking to people online? Is, is this something where you're communicating with your, uh, Kool Cat? Well, no, so I didn't, I did not, uh, pay for this, this part of it. So I, I did not speak necessarily because you gotta, you know, I gotta, I think you gotta be a level 1700 or whatever it is to unlock the microphone, you know? And that's when I think the communication really starts. But what they allow you to do early on in the game so that you can build a communication, is you take your avatar, again, I'm Kool Cat, and you can type in and you can say like, well, okay, you actually can't even type in at the, at the state, I'm looking forward. Now, what I can do is I can just choose little, little word like bubbles, you understand? And so I can click it and it goes like, yee-haw, right? Yee-haw, like that. And, uh, and you can do one and it just goes, wah-wah. Like a sad thing, right? So right now I'm at, I'm at kind of the base of communication. Yeah. But that's why I know that this is real. Well, so I don't, okay. There's a lot to unpack here. Um, so you are communicating, but it's just through, uh, basic phrases. How many, how many phrases do you have unlocked? Do you unlock more phrases as you go? Yeah, yeah. The higher the levels, or the more you pay, the, the, the more you can communicate. Yeah. This is actually, this whole thing, this game, they built it. It's around, uh, communicating with people all around the world. I have, I have friends. I have a friend in, uh, Bengalidoo. I have a friend in, uh, uh, Washon, I think it is. Uh, uh, there's places just all around. I don't even know if these places are real, but that's just what it says under the name, you understand? So I don't even know if I'm talking to actual people or not. Uh, just, just a quick search. I looked up, uh, Bengalidoo, not a place. There is a place called Washon, but that's as, it's as like a series of restaurants. There's like Washon 1, Washon 17, the real Washon, the original Washon. So I, that, I don't know if it's an actual place, but it is, it is, uh, there are things that come up if I search for that. Uh, so, um, back, is this the person that took your, your, your credit card information and your money and everything? Oh, good job, Pig. Let's, yeah, good. Get him back on track. Uh, so Rufus, um, is, is, is this the game that you put your information in or, or is this a different game? Well, again, this, this one here is not really a game so much as a, as a social experiment is what they say. They say we're going to take communication back to its root, right? You know, cause when you first start, you don't even have these phrases. You just, it's like, uh, there's, there's some lines, right? There's like one that's like bent down and that looks like a sad face. Just, just, just a bent down line. And so you can walk up to people and depending on your day, how you're feeling, you just click that little line. Sometimes it's a happy effect, you know, just a smile looks like, and then sometimes it's, you know, and that's where you start off. Right. And I forgot before that you actually, you get, uh, you just go up to people and blink. That's, that's the, the, the first one is you, you can go up to people. And you can blink or you can sigh. And that's the first step, I believe. I, I don't hate the concept. If I'm to be honest, I kind of like, you know, cause I think communication in society is a little bit broken right now. So maybe this is what we need to do. We need to take it all the way back to where you just, you can, you can walk by people and you can blink and you can throw up a little line. Maybe it's an, you know, maybe a straight up and down is like an exclamation point. Like, whoa, you know, like that. Or maybe, uh, yeah, you got your sad, you got your happy. Cause like, right. I think maybe there's just too much going on and people don't know how to express it. And so we need to take them back to, uh, you know, almost like babies. Just be like, I go, go, you know, whatever you say like that. And, oh, you know, just like take it and have people figure that stuff out before they keep talking to each other. Right. Yeah. I, I mean, I, I, I, from that perspective, I kind of like it, but we have to get back to the credit cards and the money and, and, and everything. The else that's going on. So, um, Rufus, if you could, I guess, just give your phone to producer. Cause he's kind of our technical genius and, and we'll, we'll, we'll sort this out. We'll, we'll call the bank. We'll get that all fixed up. And, oh, what? Well, um, I didn't mean to interrupt you. Uh, and I think it's a good plan to get the phone to produce it. Cause I've actually locked myself out. And the, the big news here, everybody is in this game, this communication games. Well, I think that I have fallen in love.
