    He’s always so busy,

    never not busy, never not moving, never slowing down going over here going over there. Never stop moving moving all around. Do I even sleep? I don’t even know. Do I even eat? Yeah, my stomach says yes, it says it actually says stop eating as much. Hi everyone. This is Natty bumpercar. And this is the bumper podcast. And it is summer. It is so summer it hurts. It is so summer that you can’t even believe how summer it is. And what do I mean by that? I mean, it’s hot. And it has been hot for it feels like forever. Every time I go out of my house, no, I just I melt into a puddle. This book right there. My kids, they want to go to the pool, they want to go to camp, they want to go to a movie, whatever they want to go to. They’re like, Come on, Dad, let’s go. And I go. Alright, just hold on a second. And then I walk out of the door, but it turned into a puddle. And so now what the kids do they know they travel with a bucket so that anytime we have to go someplace, one of them goes out starts the car turns the air conditioning on, the other one goes and gets the bucket and the scoop. And then they know that to tell me that we have to leave a lot earlier than you would think that we would have to leave because they are factoring in the amount of time that it will take for me to walk out the door melt be scooped up, be put into the air conditioned car and reconstitute recompose. I’m not really sure what I’m doing. I guess I’m becoming becoming less gooey. Less gelatinous, more solid? I’m not sure. Now I don’t even know. Right? They figured it out. It wasn’t me. It was up to me. I just want to stay in a puddle for the rest of my days. And then the nights I would probably unpossible because it would be cooler. And then the morning I guess I would just be a puddle again. That’s not going to be good for the resale of the house because I’m right in front of the front door. Usually when this happens. And you know, I don’t know a lot about real estate. Some would say barely anything. But I do. I’m guessing this is me guessing I’m going out on a limb. And I’m saying that having a puddle of goo right in front of the front door. Probably not going to help with resale value. I mean, I again, I can’t promise that. I don’t know what 100% For sure. But that’s what my instincts my chest Ray razor sharp. Business instincts are telling me I don’t have razor sharp instincts you guys I just wanted to make sure that you knew that I didn’t. I don’t have razor sharp anything at this point. My fingernails not razor sharp, my wit not razor sharp. My sword. It’s not even razor sharp. My knives, all of my knives. I was told I have to take my knives to a place to get them sharpened. And I don’t know. I’m nervous about it because I don’t really know what it means. I mean, I understand the concept. You have a knife, you take it to a place the people there. Make it sharp somehow I’m guessing AI robots. Maybe they have I don’t know badger in the back working in the back who has skills. I don’t know how it works, but I’m just freaked out because I’m gonna take all my knives someplace. Then they’re going to take my knives, they’re going to do some sort of alchemy some sort of magic to to the knives and or you’re they’re gonna do first good take the knives and they’re gonna judge me they’re gonna look at the knives and they’re gonna judge me on the lack of sharpness, the just lack of upkeep on my knives. And so I have to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for that part. Like I’m now getting over the hump of gathering up all the knives. And then you know, finding the place going to the place getting out of the car, not melting going into the place, and then they’re just going to judge they’re going to look at the night Just to kind of kind of probably spread them out on the table or whatever, and they’re gonna look at him, they will, you know, they’ll start picking him up, maybe they’ll even put him in order, like size order or something, they’re gonna start picking them up by the handle, and kind of holding him straight up and looking at him, twisting them in their hand, twisting them back, kind of angling them more. So they’re getting a little bit of a different light. And as they’re doing this, you know, and they keep shifting it around in their hand, they’re going to make these big size

    you know, like that. Not like, oh, well, okay, these will look at things. And I know it’s gonna be judgey MC judge person, MC mean, MC knife sharpeners. And then they’re gonna take my knives. And I’m gonna forget to ask how much it all costs. And then in two weeks, or whatever, when they when they say, Hey, we got your knives back. I’m gonna go. And they’re gonna say, we really had to do a lot of work on those knives. And I’d be like, cool, I got it. Thanks, you already made me feel awesome. And they’re gonna go in the back. And they might even give me a ticket when I leave. So they might take my ticket, when I get there, look at the ticket, then make fun of me, then go back to the back and bring out a bag or whatever, of tray maybe of my knives. And they’re gonna put them on the table. And they’ll say, you know, take a look. Maybe, maybe they’ll maybe they’ll even give me like a carrot to cut. Just to prove how sharp these knives now are. Be careful with those. All right, those are very sharp now. much sharper than they were when you like, get it, buddy? Or like, Would you like to cut a carrot? Like you will? Yeah, who wouldn’t want to cut a carrot? You want to cut? We also have, I don’t you probably don’t know this, you don’t remember. But there used to be commercials on the television, where they were selling knives. And they would be they would take a can like a can of soup canopy. I don’t know what some other metal can. And they go like this knife can cut through anything. And they cut through a knife, the can with a knife, which in your mind, you’re like, well, that’s destroyed that knife, that knife is never coming back from that. And then they would go and they’d bring in a tomato. And they would just rush right through it. Like like the like the, the knife was a razor blade, like the knife was a laser razor blade. And they would just cut right through that tomato. And then they’d go back and they would start hacking at I don’t remember what it was a block of ice or something hard. Me Yeah. And then they’d go back. And they they’d say they take a strawberry, a sweet, delicious little strawberry. And they would just so gently cut the strawberry and you just go well, these knives, what are they? How do I how do I get them and then they would tell you how much they were, how to get them who to call how long it was probably going to take for them to get to you. And then you know what, you can also get a second set of knives that are also magic that do the same magical things as the first set of knives that we showed you. Which to me is weird. Because if you’re showing me these on Double Magic blades that I will have I will pass down in my family for eternity. Then why you’re going to I don’t need two sets. I don’t need two sets of knives. That’s a lot of knives. I would go so far as to say it’s it’s an unhealthy, unsafe amount of knives. Like if I’m going to go into a house and I see you know people have like a block on their countertop and it’s a knife block. And I walk in and they go oh look at those knives. Cool. But if I walk in nice see two knife blocks. I’m turning around and leaving. Because you’re someone who has too many knives. I don’t need to be around that many sharp surfaces. And if they’re these magic knives, then they’re very sharp. Very, very sharp. Anyway, back to my knife story. I’m their guy. Oh, you want to cut a carrot, whatever you did. I don’t think they’d bring out a can although, that’d be pretty amazing. And you’re like, Okay, these seem good because what do you mean? They’re knives you’re gonna be like Okay, cut a carrot. Awesome. And then they’ll survive. Yeah, we know we also did this to it. We also upgraded Due to this, you know, we really felt like and you’re like, I just want my knives I want I just, I just want to go home and not have to think about knives anymore. For right now, maybe ever. And then you’re like, Okay, well, what’s, what’s the damage? What’s the bill? How much is this gonna cost forever, and then they they throw out some number. That’s so exorbitant so insanely expensive that you could have gone out and taken, you could have gone to Norway and taken classes on craft knife building. And so you’ve flown, you’re staying there for the two weeks, you are buying the materials. You’re paying for the class, and you’re flying back. And that would have been less money than what they are now charging you to sharpen your knives. And so you’re in a real conundrum. Because there’s the knives. You’ve done everything. You took the mocking you got them sharpened. And now you’re looking at a bill and you you know they have you the work has been done. There’s nothing you can do. Putting indeed it’s gonna throw your hands up. I you know what, I don’t want these knives anymore, but you do because they’re your knives. Way. What are you going to what are you going to do when you get home? People are going to people are going to ask, because you know what people in houses like to do? They like to cut things. They like to cut vegetables. They like to cut fruit. They like to cut meat. They don’t like to cut cans. They don’t? Well, they should. Alright, I’m gonna give a little secret here. I’ve discovered that my child one of my children, we won’t say which one has a tendency to take cans of soda cans of seltzer, whatever it is cans of beverage will say. And he sneaks mountain to the yard. You’re like, Oh, come on. Just let the kid have a Canvas right now. No, he takes the cans and he takes knives like sharp things. And he cuts into the cans. And then he comes in either covered in sugar water or maybe bleeding. What happened? Yeah, I fell off the slide. What? You fell off the side.

    Are you okay?

    Oh baby. Then you go outside and you see a massacre can and you’re like this kid does not need any more knives at all.

    About This Episode

    In this hilarious summer episode, Natty Bumpercar describes the intense heat wave that literally melts him into a puddle every time he steps outside. His kids have adapted by traveling with a bucket and scoop to collect their liquefied father and reconstitute him in the air-conditioned car. Natty then goes on an extended comedic rant about his anxiety over taking his dull knives to be professionally sharpened, imagining the judgment he'll face from the knife sharpener and the exorbitant bill that will follow. He reminisces about old TV knife infomercials and reveals that one of his children has been secretly taking cans outside to slice them open with sharp objects, coming back either covered in soda or bleeding.

really interested in what this actually looks like but i think what i'd like to make you know is i think about it related to cortical vibrancy like you know my weaponry recipe i thought it was fantastic and i spent so much time different things every time that i made something new because i thought it was better by women than coming back to stuart That's a lot of knives. I would go so far as to say it's an unhealthy, unsafe amount of knives. Like if I'm going to go into a house and I see, you know, people have like a block on their countertop and it's a knife block.

    I’m so strange, so strange. So strange yesterday, I kind of died a little bit, which is I know a strange way to start a podcast, especially the bumper podcast, by the way. Hello, everyone. This is Natty Bumpercar. And this is the bumper podcast, your weekly jump into fun, Ray. And so let’s start it off with with that yesterday. Well, first of all, so I don’t know where anyone is here at the bumper podcast. I haven’t seen pig. I haven’t seen Rufus. I haven’t seen producer and doodle poodle, anybody for weeks. And I come in, and I just kind of click on record and it seems to be working. I mean, the thing is, Do I even need producer? I don’t know, I honestly don’t know. But that is not the question for today. To question for today is what in the world happened yesterday? What in the world? Well, I got up. And I took one of the kids to school. And then I came home back to headquarters here. And I had a little sip of water because water is good for you in the morning. And then the one of the other one of the kids had left, like a little glass of orange juice on the table, and not very much at all. But I was like, oh, I’ll just finish that. Because as a parent, I’m a vulture, and I just go and I finish off whatever the food is, it’s left around. And then I went upstairs and I was gonna go back to bed because I was tired. And it was Monday. And on Mondays. Sometimes I pass out because the weekends are so much fun. That’s what it is. I’m so tired from all the fun that weekends are. I used to love weekends growing up. I remember man, I’d be like, Oh, I can’t wait for the weekend. Everybody’s everybody’s working for the weekend. Here we go. It’s Saturday morning. Whoo. I’m gonna sleep in and then I’m gonna do fun stuff. And now it’s just like, oh, no, no, as a parent, the weekends got in the way it gets here. Oh, no. And then Monday comes in. I’m tired. But so I got into bed. And my hands were weirdly itchy. Like, I was like, What is going on hands? Why are you so itchy. And they were kind of dry. And so I was like, alright, I’ll just go, you know, like, put some lotion on him. And that’ll that’ll fix that. And then I started to feel and this was happening pretty rapidly. My my lip was feeling kind of weird. And it’s like, All right, well, let’s go check it see. And so I went to the bathroom, and I was I was looking for the lotion, and then I shut the mirror. That’s where it is. And I saw my face. And my lip was gigantic, and purple. And my eyes like were swollen almost to being shut and they were bright red. And then not only was the rest of my face, very swollen. But I noticed that my tongue swollen, my throat swollen and the breathing. The breathing was not good. And so I I grabbed my rescue inhaler, and I did the did that. Just hopefully I was like alright, this will open up my airways. And then I was just like, alright, calmly, calmly. Let’s find the shoes. Let’s make sure we have all the stuff the wallet, the phone, the keys are right. Where’s the jacket? Perfect. Let’s go downstairs. Let’s get to the car. Let’s go to the closest urgent care and I was doing this all as the everything was getting much worse. Like the breathing was just like and the like the tongue it was. I don’t I don’t like tongues. I don’t like to talk about tongues. I think they’re weird and kind of gross. But the tongue was a lot. It was a lot more than it’s supposed to be. And I also I couldn’t talk and so really just around the corner not I would say maybe is three quarters of a mile away from the house is is an urgent care. There’s one that’s closer, which is a CVS, but I looked on the thing and they were not open yet. And so I went to the other one. And at a light, there’s two lights in between my house in this place. So at the second light, it was red light. And so I texted my wife and I was just like, Hi, I’m having an allergic reaction. We’re going to urgent care, period. That’s all I saw at time, then the light turned her send light green, off, we go to the urgent care, get to the urgent care Park can’t breathe, like really can’t breathe, stumble into the place, lumbar into the place. There’s no one there. And I look around. And I guess they heard me come in. And so a woman came, you know, behind the desk, and her eyes got enormous. And she said, can I please have your ID? And I was just like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, because it couldn’t talk. I couldn’t speak at all like, rules. No, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, is how I sounded. But worse than that. And then the woman who there’s another woman who kind of looked in and she was like, get him back here now. And they got me back there sat me in the chair and started taking doing my blood. What is the oxygen levels and the thing around my arm to check my blood pressure, and all these things? And it was great. But they were running around like chickens. They were just running around in circles, like, what do we do? What do we do? It’s Monday morning. This is the first guy that comes in what? It’s not a good way to start a week called labor ambulance call the man ambulance quickly. And so the ambulance comes, but it took them about, I want to say eight minutes. I don’t know pretty sure it could have died that eight minutes. And so they get there. And they’re like, should we do an EpiPen? Do we need to do what have you been? And they’re like, get them on the stretcher. It was all very like, but do this. Gotta do this, get into that. And I, they got me on the stretcher. And they were asking all these questions. And they asked me to write down my phone number because I couldn’t say it. And I wrote mine. And then I wrote my wife’s number. And then I said, I was trying to say hold on do you want me to call my wife but they couldn’t understand it because it came out like this rah rah, love, love. And so I took my phone, they were like, We don’t know what you’re saying. So I took my phone and I pressed the you know, I was like call wife. And then I handed them the phone. And then she got a call from a police officer. And you know, when you get that call, it’s scary. And so she you know, I was talking to him about the situation what was going on? Should she come back? And I was like, No, I got this, you know, and then I get whisked to the ambulance. And they put an IV in me and then it’s Benadryl. And then things start to come down a little bit. They were debating whether to do the epi pen or not. And epi pen is like, the guy was telling me about it. And I wish you wouldn’t have it’s a it’s a tube with a giant needle, he said, giant needle that they jam into your leg and then, you know, like, whatever. And it’s what they do. When I guess you’re going into anaphylaxis, which is not good thing. So they, they were going to wait until we got to the emergency room because they were kind of monitoring everything. And I was I still somehow was getting oxygen. Even though I the breathing was just like wow, right, very rapid. And we got to the emergency room on the thing, and then they get me in there and then they start pumping me full of all kinds of other stuff. And you know, I was plugged in, I’ve got tubes, I’ve got things in my fingers things. There was this a lot. And I ended up being at the hospital for like 10 hours. And because they it was it wouldn’t the swelling wouldn’t go down. Like it was very slow, like, my face would get a little bit better. And I realized that about like, three o’clock that I hadn’t eaten anything since pretty much five o’clock the last day and I was just like and they’re like, What, and that’s because everybody was like What What are you saying what? I’m sure. And they were like, oh food. We have two two sandwiches. I was like, oh, not and they gay and then I just like everyone, Apple car or, or yoga. And they’re like, ah, applesauce, we can give you applesauce and I was like oh Huh.

    And I’m texting, you know, people updates. This is what’s happening. This is where I am, this is what’s going on yada, yada. I’ll give you updates as I have them. Yeah, and one of the annoying things was I couldn’t go to the bathroom because of these things tied into me. But eventually I was I was like, I was like, the bathroom. And they were like, okay, hold on, well, unclick you unclick I click, I click. And she’s like, okay, it’s doors right down there. And, and I started walking out of the room. They asked me if I could and I said yes. And I got like two feet out of the room, they had forgotten to unplug, like, some major thing. And it knocked me back. And it almost, and the equipment, like almost fell over. And like, so everyone in the emergency room was like, gasp it says everything. Okay? And I was just like, they were like, Oh, we’re sorry. And then I, you know, I use bathroom. And then like, a couple hours later, things were down enough. My face was okay. And they were like, Okay, you seem good. Okay, called the wife. She and the kids came and got me. And I Yeah, you know, it’s better. Now I was given all kinds of medicine, I’m going to see an allergist, see what happened. And because it was very random, and the only thing that we could figure out was it was this orange juice, because that was all I had. And we were looking at the bottle and it was orange juice that had calcium in it. And then I started researching, and it seems like calcium citrate or calcium phosphate, or some of the things that they put into the orange juice that I maybe had a bad reaction to. And so it was a pretty fun day, pretty much everyone thought that I was going to be dead or die or whatever. And my main fear was that they were going to intubate me. So put like a tube in my throat so that I could breathe, because then my fear was, well what is my voice sound like? Like, how is this going to impact how my voice sounds which I use my voice for a lot of things, talking being one of them, but now it’s all fixed except for the cleanup and the tears.

    About This Episode

    In Bumperpodcast episode 445, Natty Bumpercar brings in a fresh face after the chaotic previous week – his son Ollie joins the show as a guest co-host. After a mishap involving a hanging chair accident, the conversation flows from beach adventures and fish poop to the invention of "swim-jamas" – pajamas you can swim in. The duo brainstorm absurd ideas including throwing kids in washing machines to get clean. When Rufus T. Rufus shows up, things take a hilarious turn as Ollie interviews for his first job as the podcast's security guard, despite having zero experience in surveillance. This charming, silly episode showcases the improvised father-son banter that makes Bumperpodcast a delightfully ridiculous family comedy.

    Natty Bumpercar: interesting right now what did you do yesterday uh we went to the beach i love the beach did you have fun yeah what did you do went in the water oh you went into the water yes do you know what what's in the water do you know what happens in the water uh there's fish poop in the water i was i wasn't gonna I wasn't going to go there, but wow. This is a kid's show, Ollie. And you're over here talking about fish. They go into the bathroom. Oh, I don't even know what to think. You are correct. I guess there is probably some fish poop somewhere. But so were there waves?

    Ollie: Yes.

    Natty Bumpercar: Big waves?

    Ollie: Yes.

    Natty Bumpercar: And did you, like, play with them, jump at them?

    Ollie: Yeah, I jumped at them. Sometimes I jumped over them. Over? Yeah, I jumped through them at least. I don't know how to say it.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, like you would dive through the waves?

    Ollie: Yeah, and then a bigger wave would come, and then I would just be under the water.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yeah, I saw you get knocked over a few times.

    Ollie: Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar: Did it hurt?

    Ollie: Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar: Now. What hurt worse? Getting knocked over by the waves or having the chair drop you on the ground?

    Ollie: The chair.

    Natty Bumpercar: The chair. Yeah, that makes sense. Why are you here today? Shouldn't you be at your job?

    Ollie: It was a snow day.

    Natty Bumpercar: It's June. It's June, and you were at the beach yesterday? And I'm supposed to believe that it's… It's now a snow day?

    Ollie: Uh, because it's summer, maybe?

    Natty Bumpercar: Is it summer?

    Ollie: Yes, it is summer.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh. Oh. Interesting. So you're not going to go, um, to Australia?

    Ollie: Uh, no.

    Natty Bumpercar: Okay. All right. Uh, you're not going to take that trip to the moon?

    Ollie: No.

    Natty Bumpercar: Okay. Uh, what are your big plans for the summer?

    Ollie: Um, more swimming.

    Natty Bumpercar: More swimming. All right. Do you think you're going to wear pajamas the entire summer?

    Ollie: Maybe.

    Natty Bumpercar: Um, are there such things as swim-jamas?

    Ollie: No.

    Natty Bumpercar: And if there's not, should we invent them?

    Ollie: Maybe. I don't know.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yeah, so then you could…

    Ollie: Could we?

    Natty Bumpercar: Wake up, you're wearing your swim-jamas, you hop in the pool, and then you get out, and you're still… You're still wearing your swim-jamas?

    Ollie: Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

    Natty Bumpercar: And they're, like, nice and soft, but they also dry really quickly.

    Ollie: Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar: Yeah. And they could be, like, uh, second skin. You just never take them off.

    Ollie: Well, wouldn't they get really stinky and dirty?

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, I mean, you'd wear them in the shower. We'd hose… We would hose you off once a week to get the stink out. And, uh, it'd be great.

    Ollie: I have a better idea for how we could get the stink off.

    Natty Bumpercar: Okay. Okay. I'm open. You know I'm… I love ideas. I'm open to ideas. So what is your idea?

    Ollie: Uh… To throw me in the washing machine?

    Natty Bumpercar: Wait a minute. That's actually not a bad idea. As long as we don't use the, um, hot water, then I think we'll be okay.

    Ollie: Yeah. I think… I think that's a good idea.

    Natty Bumpercar: Oh, your hair would get clean. I bet your teeth would get clean. Like, everything. It'd be amazing.

    Ollie: Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar: Why don't we invent a, um… I don't know. Like, a… A thing that kids can get into that will make them clean. Um… What will we call it?

    Ollie: Hmm. Maybe a bath?

    Natty Bumpercar: A bath? Okay. I was thinking… Outdoor shower? Hmm.

    Ollie: What do you think of that? Maybe. That sounds like a good idea.

    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar hilariously recounts the chaos of end-of-school-year ceremonies and his messy household. With kids tracking mud and wet clothes throughout the house and using hundreds of towels, Natty compares his laundry routine to painting a bridge. He describes attending his younger child's fourth-grade promotion ceremony and clap-out celebration, complete with a bubble machine, then rushing 40 minutes to his older child's awards ceremony. Despite the frantic schedule and uncertainty about which award his son would receive, Natty manages to arrive just in time to film his child winning the attendance award. The episode captures the exhausting but heartwarming reality of parenting during the busy school year's end.

    Natty Bumpercar: i i'm not saying that my house is is a disaster a disaster area but a uh a fema trailer did just pull up in our driveway uh it's it's pretty uh it's pretty messy pretty pretty bad pretty it's been raining a lot the children go out of the house into the house out of the house into the house sometimes out of the back door around into the front door sometimes if it's not raining and you're like oh well at least we're not gonna have muddy footprints they'll run out there they'll jump in our it's not even a pool it's a it's a puddle they'll jump in the puddle and then they'll they'll run back in and when it's when it's that then they're also wearing a lot of wet clothes and and so as they're running with feet they're also just just throwing their clothes all around the house shirts are hanging on lamps there's uh bathing suits that are just you know just been tossed wherever they land uh towels so the last week we had a day where we went through 800 towels now we don't have 800 towels in our house you know i but we have we just keep we keep washing them and drying them over and over it was just this constant cycle it it was like when they paint bridges they start at one end of the bridge and they start painting and then by the time they get to the other side of the bridge then they know it's time to go back to the beginning again because that's how long it takes evidently and so it's just this constant cycle and that's how we were with towels uh and then they're like i want to take a shower i'm like oh my gosh you just came in from the pool you just came in from rain why do you why why do you need to spread more uh moisture around my house it's too much the uh and you know they they like to take uh they'll take baths and then they throw toys in the bathtub and so then you can't go and take a shower yourself because it's just it's become a toy bin a bin of of wet toys i know i sound like i'm complaining a lot well that's because i am um here's the thing though we're heading into summer school is over the younger one just moved from fourth grade to fifth grade they had something called a promotion you've been promoted congratulations did i get a raise no did i get a corner office no of course not you didn't get a corner office but you got a promotion do i get to wear a mortise and pestle whatever the thing the little the hat and wait mortise and i don't know the uh do i get to wear a cape do i get sometimes people do i get the little ropes like they go around you know like that say something i did what no you're just gonna go up you're gonna wear whatever you're gonna wear we have no no say in that we're not gonna control it we're not going to do it we're not going to do it we're not going to do it you know send any uh anything home to your parents any kind of direction like hey it might be nice if you wear this no no we're just gonna throw caution to the wind and you'll show up wearing whatever you want to show up wearing and that's fine and then you're gonna stand up in the gym in front of all your parents and your you know your aunts and uncles and siblings and uh grandparents and just all these people and you know you're we're gonna say sweet things you're gonna sing a sweet song you're gonna make people cry that's what that's what you're here i bet that was the pep talk that they uh gave them before they came into the gym they were like all right fourth graders let's gather around gather around all right do you know why we're here today and one kid was like promotion and she was like no well yeah but no the reason we're here today is to make people cry make them sad make them think about how you you used to be tiny and now you're less tiny but you're still kind of tiny but you're definitely on the track of less tiny um and they're like what and she's like ah don't worry about all that you know she's at a whiteboard like drawing it out with a marker and then having to do the erasing thing where it doesn't really erase and then asking someone for the spray bottle so she can spray and then she doesn't have a napkin to wipe it off with it's just a whole thing and so you know that's what they that that was their goal and i'm gonna tell you right here right now they did not succeed with me i thought i was i was a goner i i went into this place i was feeling a little tightness in the throat a little tightness in the chest felt like uh the air was really dry oh i'm not gonna make it i'm not i can't make it but then i i did the thing and it was all so fast that it was like a whirlwind and i was just like i i okay i'm fine i i i serve this is i did it i made it through the promotion i feel like i should get a promotion myself for being the parent that didn't cry i don't know or maybe i could just get an accolade for that problem was that was one of the days the next day they do something called a clap out what is a clap out you're probably school from pre-k k first second third all of the teachers they line the hallways and at the front door of the school all of the parents are all in a big mob and you can hear it's coming through the school they're clapping it's it's wave of clapping and i brought a bubble machine and i put it by the front door because nothing says a clap out like a bubble machine to me and and i had the bubbles going and then you hear this just wave of clapping coming and and then they they are they they come out of the school but there's no like pause again it happened so quickly that they they came out and then they just ran to the to their left and it was just like oh okay my emotions don't work that fast anymore like maybe when i was young i was like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry and i had less control of the emotions but now you know if i'm gonna get it's gonna take a while for me to to crank up the emotion machine you know to really i gotta i gotta be really ready you know so it takes me it takes a lot for me to get uh angry or sad or or whatever or or happy for that matter uh but yeah so this it moved so fast that it didn't happen and uh we immediately had to get in the car after this clap out and uh you know we're high-fiving people we're patting people on the shoulder congratulations you know you did it parents ah good job uh but then we had to get in the car and drive 40 minutes to the other kid's school now mind you this clap out started at 12 30 right and we were there for about 10 15 minutes the other child had an award ceremony that was supposed to start at one o'clock and he's about 40 minutes away and my kid was like in the car he was like wait what time does this start one o'clock well how's this gonna work i you know what we're just in the car we're gonna get down there when we get down there we're gonna do our best okay but you you realize it's it's 12 uh 45 now and yeah i can see the clock and i'm i'm just gonna keep on driving i'm gonna get down there as quick as i can you know and hope hope that we get to see the ceremony hope that we get to see him win an award and the award here's how it worked we got an email that said hey there's this award ceremony on this day at this time uh please come uh your child has been selected uh to win one of the awards which is very exciting you know but that's all the information you have so the grandparents actually came down they drove down to the award ceremony they got there before us saved us a couple of seats and we managed to get there at 1 11 so it took us around 27 minutes and so there was no traffic everything moved very quickly very smoothly like maybe the quickest trip i've ever had to get down there i was in the even speeding because I'm no speeder. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm a law abiding bumper car, but we got there and we, we, we checked in and we ran down. We got to the, uh, the auditorium and it was full of people. They had just given their first award. And, uh, we were given a little, uh, what do they call the pamphlets, whatever, you know, like the, the thing you look through and it tells you what's going to happen and when it's going to happen. And what we had done, we had missed the, uh, the opening speech, you know, like the pledge of allegiance. Like we had missed all the, the, the things that happened before the awards. So it worked out perfectly. Like we, we came in ready for awards. The first one was, uh, art and you know, he, he didn't win. He didn't win that one. All right. You know, then you're going through and you don't, there's next up. I think we were in, uh, reading and, uh, writing, uh, and okay. All right. Nope. You didn't win that one. Okay. And I want to film this. I want to get this on camera. All right. Uh, uh, math. No, it's not math. Science. No, probably not going to be science. History. Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. It's not going to be history. Oh, okay. You know, we're working our way down the list here. Uh, the next one was, uh, PE, physical education. And he's always, he's the T the teachers are always like, Oh, he's so good in PE. He's so, you know, he loves, loves it. And he always tells me that's my favorite class. And I'm like, all right, well, that's, it's really just play time, but you know, that's fine. Good for you. You have something that's your favorite. Uh, and so I started filming, I was ready PE and there, they go through these little speeches, you know, they say, Oh, physical education is very important. You know, they, you know, they describe everything and, uh, and I'm, I'm filming the whole thing and they go, you know, this next student in middle school, well, she, and I was just like, all right, well, let's stop filming that one. That's not the one. And then you're starting to get down to where, uh, you know, we did, uh, so PE and then we did music. And then the only things that were left were, uh, homework attendance. And then there were four things at the bottom, which were like, uh, character, whatever, like, you know, stuff like that community service. And so I was like, all right, you know, I've got like six more, you know, they told us to come down here and they did homework and I didn't even film it. Cause I was like, no, that's not going to be it, which is fine. And then they did, uh, attendance. I looked at my wife and I was, I kind of shrugged and she was like, I don't know. And you know, I started filming and they go through this four minute speech about how important attendance is. And it's the backbone of your education. And then, then they, they called my kid's name. He won an award for attendance. We came down, we rushed down for that. It was great.

Let’s talk about being a coach and the expectations of being a coach. Hi, everybody, it’s me Natty Bumpercar. The bumper podcast. And I have been honored to I was the coach of my kids basketball team. And I had never played basketball. So that one was a little bit challenging. But I know enough about basketball that I could kind of, you know, wing it a little bit. But then the opportunity came up to coach his soccer team. And I played soccer, most of my life from growing up up until I think, junior year of high school or so. And loved it, loved it to pieces. And so when I found out they were looking for soccer coaches, I was like, Yeah, sign me up, you know. And it’s funny, because, you know, the organization, I wasn’t given any information, it was just like, sure your coach, show up. And I was like, okay, I can do that. And so I show I showed up the first day, and I got my team. There, the great team, great ghosts, was what is when I call them, I made a little I was like, You guys are the great ghosts. And they were like, okay, and then one kid was like, I want to be a great goose. And I was like, fine, I don’t, whatever, that’s great. And I had to learn all of their names, I made him stand in a line. And I because I think it’s important, right? That these are these are you want them to feel, you know, like, they’re part of the team, like they belong, like they have their own identity. And so they went through their names. And and whenever anyone would say their name, I would say, All right, everybody say hello to Tom, there’s no tom, but I’m not gonna give you the kids names, because that would be untoward. But you know, and so then they would all introduce themselves. And then we kind of found out, you know, who was in third grade? Who’s in fourth grade? And do you go to this school? Do you go to that school, just to kind of, you know, establish who everyone was, and try to build a tiny report. And the time that I had. Now, the first week was was was bananas, because we had two practices and three games within the span of seven days. So it was like, Hey, you’re not playing soccer. And then all of a sudden, it was like, hey, guess what, you’re doing soccer every single day of your life. And it was hard because the kids were getting very frustrated and tired. You know, because they’re running around, they’re playing hard. And, and when it’s almost every day, there’s just no break. So they don’t get a chance to, to kind of come up, come back, relax, whatever. But the thing is, is we’ve, it’s great. It’s great fun. And I the reason I don’t know if you can hear it in my voice, but it’s a little bit raspy is because I basically scream, and from the time the game has started, maybe even a little bit before until the game has ended. And it’s not because I’m angry. It’s I am out there. And I, I really take a lot on like, I feel a real responsibility to, to get these kids to learn and to motivate them and to try to get them into spots where they can best, you know, have the chance for success. And it’s difficult. I’m not I’m not gonna lie, like, it’s I last night, I was like, Oh, this is like herding kittens, because it’s always a fun phrase. I’ve always enjoyed that phrase, herding kittens. And I always like when someone’s like, Why are you hurting kittens? And I’m like, no, no one’s hurting kittens. I’m hurting them hurting hurting them. What do you mean by that? You know, like, trying to get big herd of kittens through the Valley into the into the pasture, the gated pasture. So they can they can I don’t know play with butterflies or whatever. Ah, so are the kittens being hurt then? Oh, no. We’re gonna play with butterflies relax. But, you know, because I’ll be on the sideline. And I’m like, you know, I have to give them all their position positions. Oh, I have a weird thing that just happened. I give them all their positions. You know, you’re gonna be my striker, you’re gonna be my, my stopper which is what I call the, the the middle defense person. You’re my left fullback, you’re my rightful way which which which way is which way is left coach, this is well this is this is your left and and so you’re just gonna go back there to the where I’m pointing where I go coach, again, I want you to go back to that corner right where I’m pointing. Why aren’t you going? Hey, could you please just go? Yes, no you Why are you coming off the field? Why why failed, I need you to go back to your spot coats my shoes untied get over here, let’s tie your shoe real quick like this is it’s a real constant flow of, of me trying to get them to stay focused on the game, get into their spots and and do what they’re supposed to do, but also to try to learn and have fun. So it’s a real, real balancing act that I’m going through. And it’s also difficult because, you know, there’s there’s some kids that are more advanced, and they kind of want to take over the game. But this is a recreation league. And so this is a developmental league. And so I’m constantly, I’m like, hey, you know, let that kid take the kick, or let that kid take the throw in? Because, you know, you’re Yes, you are really good at it. But I need other I need everybody to learn how to be good at it because we’re a team. And, you know, a lot. So a couple of games ago, we were playing it was actually on a on a on a baseball field. And so you know, part of it is, is dirt like that baseball field, dirt, whatever that stuff is. And then grass. And I’m looking down at one end of the field, we’re we’re our we have our offense as the ball, and they’re getting it, they’re gonna go oh, wait, no, the ball is coming back our way. So I have to turn. And I have to get my defense ready. And so I was like Dave, and then I stopped because one of the kids was grabbing scoops of sand in his hand and dumping it into the making like a little funnel with his other hand, and then trying to catch it. The dirt as it was coming through the funnel on the bottom. And he was doing this back and forth. And I was like, like podcasts stand up. And then I looked at the other side of the field and there was a kid picking grass off in us. And so there’s there’s a lot of me of me yelling. And the fun thing is, is when I’m yelling, what are you doing, please stand up. Here comes the ball. It usually doesn’t register until I’ve I’ve yelled the person’s name four or 567 times. And the difficult thing with that is that there are kids who are very competitive and who take the games very seriously a lot more seriously. Than, you know, the the grass pickers or there’s we have kids who dance on the field, which is wonderful. But you know, maybe not the exact right time. And the kids who are taking a lot more seriously. You know, they’ll start yelling at their teammates. And I’m like, no, no, no, no. So then I have to pull them off. And I’m like, Listen, I’m the coach. That’s my job. I’ll do the yelling. You I need you to focus on playing the game. It’s it’s really it’s it’s a lot I we had a game recently. And we didn’t have enough for substitutions, we only had eight people. And so we have a we have our striker, and then our three mids and then our three, defense and then our goalie right so everybody that I had was on the field playing and the ball was again, the offense had the ball there, they’re making a move on the other side of the field. They’re going to oh wait, here comes the ball is coming back quick defense. And so this time, it wasn’t people picking grass and scooping dirt. My goalie was just sitting in the goal. Like he was just and so I yelled his name. I was like saying what a stand up state. And I kept yelling his name. And for like 15 seconds I’m screaming his name and um, and he finally looks over he goes my shoes untied. And I was like, ah carried by you’re, like I told I said you’re my goalie. The ball is right, come on. And I’m just like screaming like this child, too. You know, because when I listen, I’m a coach. These are kids. They’re learning. They’re far away from me. So I have to yell. But I think it’s what’s important is the context and how I’m yelling. I’m not saying like, you’re a bad person, because you’re not doing what I’m asking. I’m just saying like, hey, I need you to lie side. Right. And, you know, I’ve really noticed as the season has gone on that, it seems to motivate them. Now this John, I was like I said, I don’t care about your shows. You’re my goalie. I care about my goal, right? I because I really wanted to impress upon him how much I was worried about the ball going in the in the goal. And so then I had to run around after the ball was back down the other side of the field. And I went, I was like, Hey, Are your shoes, okay? Everything, okay? He’s like, Yeah, and I was like, Hey, I wasn’t yelling at you. I just wanted you to stand up. Because you’re my, you’re my goalie. You’re my goalie, you know? And he was like, Yeah, I know, Coach. I know. I was like, you’re good, right? He’s like, Yeah, I’m good. I’m good. I was like, okay, cool. Cool. Cool. And then, later in the game, we had a different goalie. And he made a nice save, he stopped the ball from going into the net. Phenomenal. i Yeah, good save. And I say I’m clapping, you know. And then he’s got the ball in his hand. And then he just starts throwing it up in the air. Like, he was so happy that he ended, he was like, I’m gonna just throw this ball up in the air. And I was like, Stop throwing shot, there was a ball. Like, you can’t just he’s like just tossing with himself, like, Hey, I’m, I’m throwing the ball here. And after the game was when I finally got a chance to talk to him, I was like, Hey, you did a great job and go, but please don’t ever, like throw the ball up in the air like that again. And he was like, why? And I was like, well, think of it this way. It’s raining out. It’s wet. Just imagine I said, and who knows, it might never happen. But maybe if it does, just imagine that you’re throwing the ball, and it bounces off your hand, it slips, whatever happens. And it rolls into the goal, what would happen? He’s like, Oh, they would they would get a goal. And I was like, yeah, and how would that make you feel? And he’s like, terrible. And I was like, yes. I’m trying to avoid you feeling terrible, because I want everyone to be happy all the time. Because that’s, you know, we’re always gonna have fun. Sometimes we win. Sometimes we lose. But I feel like it’s my job as a as a coach, to make it as enjoyable as possible so that if these kids want to move on with this, that they’ll do it.

    Natty Bumpercar 0:04
    Let’s see what happens next. No one is ever really sure what happens until it actually happens. For instance, this morning I woke up which is normally something that I would completely expect to have happen. However, things were not as they normally seem. Things are not as they normally appear. Things were not as they normally should base

    Aloysius J. Pig 0:35
    about. I’m really diggin the new voice. But here’s the thing, I’m convinced. Hey, everybody, it’s me. Aloysius jpg, this is the bumper podcast. You might be listening on Montclair radio, what the heck? Radio Free Montclair, or you might be listening. You in your podcast, CATIA, suburban Essex magazine, were in it. What’s up? Okay. Anyway, Bubba. The voice is great. But I’m pretty sure you’re you’re only doing it that long? Because you’re afraid you’re gonna lose it.

    Natty Bumpercar 1:12
    I don’t I don’t know.

    God pig, why did you distract me? I don’t know. I’d love that. That was a fun character that I was doing a fun voice.

    And I don’t

    like I lost it. Now now

    Rufus T. Rufus 1:30
    that you understand that in order for you to put a proper copyright on to a voice. You can’t do that unless you get it on tape for more than a minute and a half. And I don’t I believe you all need about 27 seconds. So if you can’t figure out whatever that was, was and you can’t you’re not gonna be able to tell it’s not your voice.

    Natty Bumpercar 1:53
    Yes, fine. I understand. Well, okay, great, fine. So now now what’s going to happen is we’re going to go through the rest of this podcast, and I’m going to be freaking out that I can’t figure out how to do this voice. And then I’ll go back and I’ll listen to this podcast. It’s at 27 seconds, and see if I can figure it out. That’s what that’s what’s gonna happen right

    Producer 2:16
    now. It’s me, producer. And I was wondering, I could maybe go back to the time of you making these funny voice and we could maybe do some time something with it. And maybe you could I don’t know. Look, you got a little bit louder. That’s what we were hoping for. Good. We could maybe see if we could maybe extended Yamani Tammany seconds do you need exactly I don’t know. I

    Natty Bumpercar 2:48
    think Rufus said a minute and a half so that’s what how many there’s how many seconds are there in a minute, guys?

    Aloysius J. Pig 2:57
    I’m trying to I don’t know. I didn’t know it’s gonna be a quiz. I didn’t know there was going to be some sort of a math quiz. So we’re seconds and a minute how many is there some sort of device we could ask or something like that? How many seconds? I dang a minute.

    Spot Elliot 3:16
    Oh, no. Man. seconds there already in a minute. I heard somebody come on in and please to to be telling me.

    Natty Bumpercar 3:33
    That was that was spot Elliot. I haven’t seen I haven’t heard spot Elliot on this podcast. So log in spot. Elliot is a cat. He’s best friends with peanut Lu. And he has such a deep voice. I don’t I don’t know. Wow,

    Aloysius J. Pig 3:49
    did you sleep last night? Because, okay, first off, this podcast is very much off the rails as it tends to be. You’d never even said your name. You didn’t say well, I already took care of the the ID. But also, you know, your voices.

    Natty Bumpercar 4:06
    I don’t know. There’s a lot of strange things happening is all I’m saying. No, I know. I know. I hear that you have a funny echo going on with. So we went on vacation and we came back and the studio was all broken down like taken apart. And now everything just sounds kind of weird. And it feels kind of strange. And producer. I don’t know if you set everything up the way it was supposed to be set up.

    Producer 4:33
    Never be please. You know, don’t don’t be throwing your Don’t be pointing your flippers at me. You know, I know I’m the producer. But I didn’t break everything down. I don’t know why we even took it apart because the studios usually just always here. So whoever came in and did all the wires and move the microbiome, you know, those are the stuff the Knott’s Berry Yeah, Ryan we should talk to I don’t but I don’t know who it was because I don’t handle stuff like that.

    Natty Bumpercar 5:00
    No yeah I understand I’m just looking at everything I Hey everyone I hope you’re this is I don’t know if this is moderately interesting or just terrible for you but I apologize that we’re you know, we’re gonna do it live we’re gonna do it live so there’s this is where the wire goes into there and that wire goes up there and the wire goes all the way over there and those are that’s connected and that that’s turned on there and then that goes from there to that you know i Everything seems like it’s it’s it’s properly set up but I don’t know this there I’m getting weird echoes I’m getting strange voices from nowhere my

    Spot Elliot 5:43
    Nomi for the cartoon called super special where I was with my friend Lou and we were in a diner and we ordered this super special

    Aloysius J. Pig 5:55
    we interviewing you not why? Listen spot Elliott it’s nice if you’ve stopped by but today might not be the best day because we’re having all kinds of technical issues. So maybe we can rebook him producer or is that do even book guests? It’s just such an open door policy where people just show up I don’t even know anymore.

    Producer 6:13
    Nothing yelping yard because he people can, they can reach out to me and then I can schedule a you know, a visit and appointments and interviews and whatnot like that. And you know, that’s normally how he does it. It’s not these people did, showing up. I don’t think

    Rufus T. Rufus 6:30
    it’s children. It’s recently come here from the northern ball to check in on you. It’s August. And the year is almost halfway done. And we’re coming in soon to the full season. And I need to know if everyone has been good or bad. And of course, you know, I need this for my list. So I can come down the chimneys, and deliver presents to everyone.

    Natty Bumpercar 6:57
    No, no, Santa. It’s I don’t know why you’re here, but it’s great to see you. Should we just scrap this? Can we throw this episode away? Is that something that? No, after five minutes, we have to keep it Wow. Okay, I’m finally got all these rules today. Hey, everyone, so it’s me Natty Bumpercar We went away, we went to a place called Cape Cod, which is the beach and there was there was sand. Because that’s, you know, kind of what happens on the beach. And it was very nice. But evidently, while we were gone, there was there was some work done here in the studio. Very exciting work. We now have heat and air conditioning. So that’s I years in the making very exciting here in the bumper barn. Where the studio is that we have a climate controlled situation, unfortunately, I guess the everything was moved around and changed up and now it doesn’t work the way it used to. That’s fine. That’s the perils of podcasting. You know, and a lot of times what people will do is actually run a test episode but not not here. Because evidently, if it’s content if it comes out on 10 is

    Rufus T. Rufus 8:23
    King

    Producer 8:24
    suicides you are looking

    Rufus T. Rufus 8:25
    for the king because the king can come in at any time. You may need him the king is already for yourself. I didn’t I didn’t even know we had a king this is all news to me. Natalie I thought because you know us were in that little crown a little hot with a little crown. I kind of thought that maybe you were the king or something but maybe not. I don’t know how that works. But we I think we need to gather ourselves a bit maybe have a staff meeting and I sound like a car engine run on.

    Natty Bumpercar 9:10
    Can we just stop recording for a minute and see if we can figure out the levels and the echo and then we’ll come back Okay, let’s try that. Okay, I

    Producer 9:18
    think that maybe see what that sounds like.

    Natty Bumpercar 9:21
    Honestly, it sounds much better but I think that we’re now spiking about

    Aloysius J. Pig 9:25
    what is spiking me What is that like podcasting technical time or something?

    Natty Bumpercar 9:30
    Just cuz there’s these levels, the sound levels when you’re recording audio, which podcasting is typically an audio medium, but now it’s more video two, which I don’t even want to wrap my head around. But so producer can can you show him the computer so he can see the little waves and then you can see what I’m talking

    Producer 9:49
    about. We just do a see on this screen here the monitor which is a screen which is I don’t know why is your mind and you’re monitoring your computers. I don’t know. Anyway, it’s so The thing is little lines here that you can see when I talk, you see me talking, and it’s going into the little thing. And it’s making little wavy things and lines and whatnot. And so the problem is before it was too hot, the microphone was too hot to touch. It is too hot. It’s like a it’s like an oven. So you could give it to too many lines. Basically.

    Rufus T. Rufus 10:20
    I feel like maybe we got our stuff kind of figured out. But we’re not going to mention that we’re not even going to acknowledge that Santa Claus was here. And he’s not here anymore. But that was very strange. He just kind of popped in. And he also said something we had about August being halfway through the year. I think we can all agree August is well into the latter part, you’re

    Natty Bumpercar 10:46
    going to fall I always have a hard time with former in ladder. I don’t I can’t ever figure it out when people were like, give me a list. They’re like, which one do you prefer? Well, I prefer the former and I’m just like, I don’t know what that beads. Do you just tell me which one? Hey, act like a act like this guy over here doesn’t know. And can you just tell us which restaurant Did you wanted to go to? Also, yeah, that was strange that Santa came but I am thrilled that the I think we finally get the podcast back on track. Excellent job producer. I’m really that’s for you to do that while recording. I don’t know how you did it. But I guess you just kind of moved some knobs around and everything and made it all sounds so much better. So I think you from for me and for the listeners, of course. So now this is exciting. Let’s guess we can actually have a podcast. Oh, wonderful. I

    Aloysius J. Pig 11:41
    wonder what we should talk about. We could talk about vacation. We could talk about how it was so high. Yeah.

    Natty Bumpercar 11:47
    I mean, there’s so we could talk about the summer doldrums, which I don’t know if some people know but Okay, so let’s go ahead and start the podcast. Is is is is everybody is everybody ready?
