“Since we don’t have a podcast anymore, I miss electronics and audio, so I just hang out here on the telephone line. I switch boards sometimes.”

“Without the podcast, I’m not as nervous. It’s not like pressure on me all the time. I’ve been designing and making these hanging baskets for plants.”

“I feel bad for all the bumperpodcasteers who are out there just wondering waiting to hear what’s going on here at headquarters.”

Natty Bumpercar: Am I bored I do not know and if I was would I say so Even feeling sometimes like leaving but then I'd be late to the Oh! Well! We're getting a telephone call! That's exciting! Okay, okay, fine. Hello? Who is this? This is Nattie, this is Nattie Bumper Car and hello?

Aloysious J. Pig: Is this seriously how you answer the telephone? Like, it was very wishy-washy. Hello? Hey, Nattie, this is Aloysius.

Natty Bumpercar: Hey, Pig!

Aloysious J. Pig: J-Pig, obviously. Checking in on you.

Natty Bumpercar: Checking in.

Aloysious J. Pig: Haven't heard from you in a long time.

Natty Bumpercar: Well, you know, I've been kind of bored and I've just been sitting here and since we don't have a podcast anymore I really don't know what to do with myself and I, um, what's that thing?

Aloysious J. Pig: I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: I don't know.

Aloysious J. Pig: I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: I don't know.

Aloysious J. Pig: I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: I don't know.

Aloysious J. Pig: I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: I don't know.

Aloysious J. Pig: I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: I don't know.

Aloysious J. Pig: I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: I don't know.

Aloysious J. Pig: I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: I don't know. What is that ping?

Aloysious J. Pig: I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: I don't know anything anymore. I really don't know what to do with myself. And I, um, what's that? Pig? Are you, hey, Pig, are you dialing? What are you doing? Can you stop? What's happening right now?

Aloysious J. Pig: It ain't, I don't know, it ain't me, I'm not doing it. No, I'm just calling.

Robot: The number you have reached is not in service.

Natty Bumpercar: No! Rufus?

Aloysious J. Pig: It sounds like the number ain't in service anymore.

Robot: Don't try to call again.

Natty Bumpercar: Hey, Rufus!

Robot: This is a recording.

Rufus T. Rufus: That's the last number I had for a moment.

Natty Bumpercar: Rufus, I'm on the phone with Pig right now.

Aloysious J. Pig: Who's he trying to call?

Natty Bumpercar: Rufus!

Rufus T. Rufus: Seven.

Natty Bumpercar: All right. Rufus.

Rufus T. Rufus: I'm just trying to. Hi. Hello?

Robot: Sorry, this line is occupied.

Natty Bumpercar: No, yeah, it's occupied by Pig and I. We've been on the phone for a little bit, and you just hopped in and started trying to call people.

Rufus T. Rufus: No, that couldn't be further from the truth, Neddy. Uh, I, I, I picked up the phone, didn't hear anyone, and I started, you know, I was dialing, and I was trying to, uh.

Natty Bumpercar: No, no, we were clearly here.

Aloysious J. Pig: We were having, I called to talk to Bumper Car, cause I hadn't heard from him in a long while. And then you all of a sudden just appear, you know, beep, bop, boop, boop, boop, and then it was, uh, disconnected.

Rufus T. Rufus: Now, what are you, you're listening in on my phone calls now, Neddy? This has gone too far as a, as a, as a lawyer, you should understand that you are breaking some very serious laws by, by, by listening to me on, on the telephone. How are the wires tapped here? How did you know that I was even on the phone?

Natty Bumpercar: So again, we were on the phone and then we were talking. Pig called me.

Rufus T. Rufus: You must not have heard the ring.

Natty Bumpercar: And then you picked up and started dialing.

Rufus T. Rufus: Who are you calling anyway?

Producer: Uh, hello there, Neddy. It's, uh, it's me, normally producer, but since we don't have a podcast anymore, it's just like, really, I miss electronics and I miss, uh, audio. And so I just kind of hang out here on the telephone line. You know, I switch board. Sometimes I, I say, Oh, who would you like to call? And then I, I take care of it. So, uh, my apologies, Mr. Rufus, I should have, I think I could have fixed it. I'm sorry.

Natty Bumpercar: You just hang out on the phones? Like, wait. So does that mean you're just, how does, huh? How do you know? Why are you listening? Are you listening? Like, what are you doing?

Rufus T. Rufus: Now, Mr. Frog producer, as your legal representation, I would like to bring you into my fold. Uh, the bill will be forthcoming of course. And I'm just going to go ahead and say, you don't have to answer any questions that this man or any person asks you about this particular or any situation that makes you uncomfortable. Okay.

Producer: I'm sorry that I, I don't know what's going on. I was just calling to check in on you. I guess I could have just walked over to your room, but really now I'm glad I didn't do that because then this would all be happening, I guess, in person and I'm not here for it. Um, I'm going to probably go, but, uh, yeah.

Natty Bumpercar: What's the situation with the podcast?

Producer: You know, this, this actually feels like a podcast to me is because we're all here on the telephone talking and, uh, you know, just reminds me of the old days.

Rufus T. Rufus: No.

Producer: From a long time ago.

Natty Bumpercar: From a long time ago. Really? So like a month ago when that dude broke in and stole all of our equipment, that, that's a long time ago.

Producer: You know, it's all perspective, uh, Natty. It's all how you look at situations. So for instance, you know, if I'm, let's say I'm a mountain and in like a million years is a long time. Right. But then let's look and say that I'm.

Rufus T. Rufus: A frog.

Producer: I'm a frog.

Rufus T. Rufus: Yes.

Producer: I am a frog.

Rufus T. Rufus: Okay.

Producer: That scenario works.

Rufus T. Rufus: Perfect.

Producer: Yeah. So, so let's, you know, I'm a tadpole. Right. But then very quickly I get little legs so I can swim around and that happens very quickly. So it's all in the perspective of how you look at the time and the thing.

Rufus T. Rufus: I don't, I don't know what, I don't know what he's talking about Natty. I think this time away from the podcast has not done good things for, uh, Mr. Frog, Frog producer there. We might need to get him some sort of a hobby, an activity. Maybe crocheting.

Natty Bumpercar: Oh, that might be nice.

Rufus T. Rufus: Some sort of sticker collecting. Is that a thing that people do?

Natty Bumpercar: I think people, I mean, people collect stamps. I don't, I don't know if people collect stickers. Um, but I, I, yeah, I'm sure people do because people have like sticker books where they, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But producer, you, you do sound very. Yeah. You sound very calm in a way. Very like you're thinking about things.

Producer: Well, without the podcast. I don't know.

Natty Bumpercar: What, what's going on? Yeah. Well, so, okay.

Producer: Without the podcast, way heavy on my, um, uh, my, my, I'm not as nervous, you know, it's not like pressure on me all the time. And so I have, I don't, I don't do crochet, but I do enjoy the macrame, which is similar but different. And, um, I, I've been designing and making these, um, hanging baskets for plants. So it's, you know, it's thinking of starting an Etsy for myself, uh, producer, plant, plants produce. I don't know. We're going to come up with a name probably, but yeah, I've got a lot of time on my hands.

Natty Bumpercar: Yeah.

Rufus T. Rufus: I also have a lot of time on my hands. I thought I hung up a few minutes ago, but I'm evidently, I'm still here. Uh, Natty, it's, we're getting into the summer. Uh, the summer, you know, so I don't know what your plans are, but I'm thinking we need to probably, we don't have a lot of direction right now. And I'm thinking that we need to get together and figure this situation out. Is that something that we can do?

Natty Bumpercar: I totally agree. Um, it's, we're getting into summer and honest. I have a lot of shows coming up.

Rufus T. Rufus: Well, look at you, mister. I have a lot of shows. I haven't seen any contracts in those shows. Are they even legitimate or not? I need to know. All right. I need to understand the financing. I need to know who's behind it. Yeah. I need to know the organization and the represent, representations. I got stuck on that word. Wait. Okay. Are you okay? That was.

Producer: Are you okay? Natty?

Rufus T. Rufus: You made me cough. Somebody, you go get a glass of water and we'll, I'm just going to, I will take over here on the microphone.

Producer: So it is a big time here in the summer and I am. Yeah. Going to. Frog producer. Mackler, Mackler May. I'm not good for this. Somebody else talk. I give up.

Aloysious J. Pig: There's a reason you're kind of a behind the board kind of frog. You know, you like to run the, the knobs and the, uh, the sound and everything. Uh, yeah. I, this isn't, you're not really cut out for it for the microphone talk. Cause like for me, for instance, uh, somebody, uh, give me a suggestion, some sort of suggestion. Uh, an umbrella, an umbrella. Oh, okay. I heard umbrella. Now give me a, a location where let's say it would be strange for an umbrella to be. All right.

Producer: They, they, Mackler, Mackler May class.

Aloysious J. Pig: Hmm. That's a, that's a terrible suggestion.

Natty Bumpercar: I'm back. Sorry about the coughing. Um, what are we doing right now? What is, what is happening right now?

Producer: I think Aloysius is going to do some improvisation for us. He's we already, we have a, um, an umbrella and we don't, we don't know where the umbrella is though. So it's very exciting. Who knows where this is going to go.

Aloysious J. Pig: My mind is just racing now. Where can this umbrella be? How about if this umbrella is, is, is, is on a, on a first date? How about with the umbrella? He's on a first date. Okay.

Natty Bumpercar: But we don't have to really do.

Aloysious J. Pig: Come on.

Natty Bumpercar: We don't, we don't have to do improvisations. We can just finish our phone conversations and go on about our day.

Emerson: Everybody ignore daddy.

Natty Bumpercar: So, okay. There's an umbrella and it's on a, it's first date. Um, okay. So, um. Hey monster.

Lil Monster: Hey monster.

Natty Bumpercar: Okay.

Lil Monster: Perfect.

Natty Bumpercar: Perfect.

Lil Monster: It's good to see you too.

Natty Bumpercar: Okay. Okay. So we have an umbrella on a first date. At a ping pong tournament.

Lil Monster: At a ping pong tournament.

Natty Bumpercar: I love it.

Lil Monster: He's very nice.

Natty Bumpercar: It's very strange situation.

Lil Monster: It's like, would this situation ever really happen?

Natty Bumpercar: I don't even know.

Lil Monster: Good point.

Natty Bumpercar: Good point.

Lil Monster: Good point.

Natty Bumpercar: Who is the umbrella there on a date with?

Lil Monster: We didn't, we didn't think about that.

Rufus T. Rufus: Well, I mean, I don't, I'm afraid of the stage obviously, but I'd like to throw my, my hat into the ring. Could I possibly be part of the scene?

Natty Bumpercar: I like it. Okay. So we have an umbrella. It's on a date. It's first date. At a ping pong tournament. With Rufus T. Rufus. No.

Rufus T. Rufus: This is going to be hilarious.

Natty Bumpercar: It's, but okay. It's, it's, it's, I'm happy that you guys are excited about this and that this is something that you clearly are into. And I can tell that you missed the podcast, the bumper podcast, and we need to figure out the equipment because this, I, you know what? I, you guys are all great. I'm happy. We're going to figure this out. Okay. Yeah. We're going to figure it out right now by, by, by, by doing the, the, the, the, the improvisation. All right.

Rufus T. Rufus: I'm ready.

Lil Monster: I'm ready.

Natty Bumpercar: I'm ready. Okay. Ready? Here we go. Okay.

Rufus T. Rufus: Hello, umbrella. I'm your, I'm your date tonight. We're going to go to a ping pong tournament.

Natty Bumpercar: No, I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I am. I do. I got to fix this style tone. Hold on. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Um, Oh, come on. No, absolutely not. Yeah. I'm not answering the phone. Answering the phone earlier was clearly a mistake, but that is okay. It's nice. My dog was calling to check in on me, especially cause I was singing a lonely song, a bored song. I got to get the podcast back together. I got to get the crew back together. It's a summer, you know, and this is, we have a lot of adventures. We have a lot of stuff to talk about. We had a lot of stuff to do and I, I can't, you know, I feel bad for all the bumper pod casketeers who were out there just wondering, waiting to hear what's, what's going on here at headquarters. I feel terrible is how I feel, but at least, oh, come on in. Come on in. Who is it?

Aloysious J. Pig: Hey.

Natty Bumpercar: Oh, wow.

Aloysious J. Pig: You're really got, the door's got some serious squeak to it.

Natty Bumpercar: Yes.

Aloysious J. Pig: Yes. You should probably, I don't know, oil it up. I don't know what you do to doors.

Natty Bumpercar: You just, I'm, hey pig, um, uh, yes, I need to oil the door hinges because the door is ridiculously creepy.

Aloysious J. Pig: I get it. Um, so I don't, I was trying to call you back, but you, it was, it was just going straight to, it was not, no one was answering, so I just wanted to say, you know, check in on you.

Natty Bumpercar: Come in. Come in. Come in.

Aloysious J. Pig: Okay. There's the door again. Wow.

Rufus T. Rufus: Hey, it's, it's me. Rufus T. Rufus.

Natty Bumpercar: Hey.

Rufus T. Rufus: Hey. Well, we lost the connection. And so we were just worried.

Natty Bumpercar: Yeah.

Rufus T. Rufus: I'm fine, but who's up for some macrame?
