    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?

    Bumperpodcast #173: Diving through blah

    Remember that thing that Bumpercar was sooo excited about? Well, it broke.

    But – we move on and talk about diving into pools – which is for the better anyway.

    Have you ever jumped into a pool? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    Diving is fun!


    About This Episode

    In this episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar returns after a two-week absence to explain what happened to the exciting project he was teasing. The thing he was so careful not to jinx? It got jinxed anyway. Natty shares his disappointment and technical difficulties that kept him from posting new episodes, even after recording them on his phone. He also discusses his recent pool adventure, including his triumphant (and slightly terrifying) return to the diving board after many years. Listen as Natty navigates disappointment, technology troubles, and the unexpected pain of summer fun.

    Memorable Quotes

    “I was like because maybe even i've said too much and then it's gonna still break and guess what it broke… that was enough to jinx it that was enough to blow the balloon up”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I'm sitting here like staring at the phone staring at the computer saying like come on guys you got to help me out here… but they didn't work with me no they just sat there and and did nothing zero help”

    About This Episode

    Natty Bumpercar returns to the Bumperpodcast after a two-week absence due to computer problems, and immediately launches into a hilariously absurd monologue about his brain leaving his head. In this solo episode, Natty contemplates the logistics of how his brain would return to his skull, becoming increasingly grossed out by his own imagination. The stream-of-consciousness storytelling takes listeners on a wild ride through Natty's bizarre thought processes, complete with sound effects and self-commentary. By the end, he's contemplating labeling the episode "too yuck for comfort" and asking listeners how they handle situations with "too much yuck."

    Memorable Quotes

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “I'm gonna have to ask you to climb back up into my head like through my nose i guess i don't know how it's gonna work out”

    — Natty Bumpercar

  • Bumperpodcast 124 – Missed Opportunity

    Bumperpodcast 124 – Missed Opportunity

    This is officially the first “What could have been” Bumperpodcast of the year … You see – we were going to talk about kittens and squirrels – and then the big computer broke – and then the little computer wouldn’t accept the audio doo-hickey – and then I went and took a long bath.

    I think that something was recorded … I am considering just making vinyl records of all of these and mailing them to listeners …. Or – writing everything out with ghost ink.

    Have you ever made a vinyl record or written in ghost ink? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com – and maybe we’ll hire you.

    You could live in a cave!!

     


    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar battles technical difficulties after recording what he claims was a phenomenal episode about kittens that was lost to corrupted audio. The recording sounded like garbled computer noises instead of his stories about kittens playing with rainbows and eating honey. After witnessing the magical performance, Robot, Reindeer, and others left depressed when the recording failed. Natty desperately troubleshoots by unplugging wires and switching computers, eventually recording on a laptop in his lap.
