In this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast, Aloysious J. Pig complains about the indignities of apple picking, from overpriced cider donuts to being directed to eat slop from a trough. Doodle Poodle shares his nightmarish farm experience involving an impossibly long port-a-potty line, while Natty Bumpercar tries to mediate. Rufus T. Rufus jumps in to defend his friends and accuses Natty of victim-blaming, before confusing everyone with the phrase "hotter than a bucket of rice." The gang debates whether this strange expression is an analogy, metaphor, or idiom, and Rufus storms off after mishearing "idiom" as an insult. Despite the terrible farm stories, Pig inexplicably announces a team pumpkin-picking outing, leaving everyone baffled.
“hotter than a bucket of rice”
— Rufus T. Rufus
“I stood in line for like 45 minutes to get some apple cider donuts and as soon as I got to the front of the line they said sorry sir but you're gonna have to go over there to that trough”
— Aloysious J. Pig
“wait the whole episode was about how the apple picking and you hated it and the bad things happened… this is pumpkin picking totally different”
— Natty Bumpercar

Aloysious J. Pig: so then i was like apple picking why are we gonna go apple picking we're gonna pay somebody to go to the to their field right and and and and they got trees and and there's a lot of families around and they're like posing and they're wearing the flannel and uh we're gonna pick up some apples we're gonna what pull them off the tree oh look this aisle here this is the crab apple aisle oh what's that one over there oh it's the pink lady aisle i don't well what why why am i gonna
Natty Bumpercar: do that well but it's like it's fall and it's a wonderful like team building exercise type of
Doodle Poodle: thing where i actually do not want to go as well on the last time that i was on a farm um bad things happened to me you know it was like a bad situation like all the way around
Aloysious J. Pig: yeah okay so you're a frog okay i'm a pig and you want to talk about bad situations at farms do you know what they tried to feed me the last time i went to one of these things slop okay it's just slop i went i was i stood in line for like 45 minutes to get some uh apple cider donuts and as soon as i got to the front of the line they said sorry sir but you're gonna have to go over there to
Natty Bumpercar: that trough well what are you kidding me so that was a bad situation and i i agree now in in defense of the person you didn't speak like you were just staring at them holding a bag of donuts and i think that you
Rufus T. Rufus: confused them maybe scared them now hold on aloysius hey everybody it's me uh rufus t rufus and aloysius you don't have to say another word because what mr bumper car over here has decided to do is victim blame you see he sits up there on a high perch looking down at the rest of us and just casting his judgment oh you did it wrong you know it wasn't a bad situation you did it wrong and so aloysius if you would like
Natty Bumpercar: i can handle this whole situation hi rufus and i hope i wasn't doing that i if i if i did if i was i'm very sorry it wasn't intentional i was just trying to add a little bit of perspective a little bit of background to the story because i was you know there and i ended up actually having to purchase the bag of donuts after uh aloysius threw them on the ground and stomped on them and walked away so i spent five minutes in line spent eighteen dollars on a bag of donuts and then um they were ruined and the thing is they wouldn't even let me go back out and grab another bag so i would have bought two you know the ruined ones fine i'll pay for that but then i would have gone out and gotten you know some that i could eat but they would not let me and
Doodle Poodle: anyway anyway okay bad situation bad situation yeah yeah okay so if we're all telling our bad situation stories then i want to tell mine as well you know because um the one i went to and i'm obviously really heated right now i'm very angry but it was this giant farm and they had inflatables and they had a corn maze and they had all kinds of fine stuff oh look at that look there's face painting everything and they only had one port-a-potty and i had the goal and the lime just stretched the entire way through the corn maze and over to this snack stand no it's just not not fun it was a bad situation for me
Aloysious J. Pig: sounds like it was a terrible situation it sounds like uh it was a poorly managed uh festival or whatever you know you was at i mean one port-a-potty oh you're lucky though you're lucky you didn't stand in line the whole time and you get up to the actual port-a-potty and somebody's like oh sorry frog you gotta go over there you know find yourself a swamp maybe a little bit of a trip but i'm not going to go over there i'm going to go over to the
Rufus T. Rufus: lily pad or something like that yeah now we are really creeping into uh kind of a territory that i call you know you could say it's a bias like people are biased against uh pigs or frogs or you know whatever it may be and uh there's there's actual now laws in the books of laws about such things and uh you know i'm not going to go over there i'm not going to go over there i'm not going you know if you ever run against any of this stuff you gotta let me know because i will be there
Natty Bumpercar: hotter than a bucket of rice okay yes that is what it kind of sounds like and it sounds like a terrible situation but also and i agree that you should go to rufus or myself or somebody and we can try to help but also you really threw me off at the end when you said hotter than a bucket
Aloysious J. Pig: of rice is that what we went with yeah i never heard hotter than a bucket of rice i heard uh as confused as uh three little mice but i don't think i think that's probably for a different situation
Doodle Poodle: yeah yeah i've never i've how do you get is there a bucket hot or is the rice hot and if so is it like cooked rice or how do you get the rice to be hot and is it like steaming hot or is it just like you know is it like a stir fry kind of situation or did you go somewhere with your bucket and maybe they put hot rice in it like what is what exactly are we doing with this here
Rufus T. Rufus: the more i hear you talking about it the more confused i'm getting because i you know hotter than a bucket of rice i don't know if that's exactly the uh the simile or the homily or the analogy or the metaphor or the whatnot or the what for or the whatever that i wanted to say and i'm not even sure that it did the job that i needed it to do and i'm not even sure that it did the job that i needed it to do of conveying exactly what i was trying to get across yeah i don't if you if you catch my drift
Natty Bumpercar: well i think that is actually i'm honestly very proud of you that you were able to let us know that maybe the thing that you said the random confusing thing that you said watch it now yeah sorry sorry sorry uh but the thing that you said that maybe it didn't make sense i think we need more of that on this podcast i think and we have to figure out a system not that we like call everybody out on everything but at least acknowledge that sometimes random stuff comes out that derails the episodes and and doesn't entirely make sense even a tiny bit um and also um i'm trying to figure out how to do this i'm trying to figure out how to do this i'm trying to think is it an analogy a metaphor uh hotter than a bucket of rice yeah i don't know uh yeah i
Aloysious J. Pig: weren't trying to think were you were we gonna hire whatever happened to you were gonna hire that uh grandma wizard i think it was he came and he put in his application the best application i've ever seen it was like perfect but whatever it's
Natty Bumpercar: is that still just floating through hr or something it's we're trying to figure out compensation just all this stuff but yeah we would very much love to have a grammar wizard here to um because i know like an analogy is like a comparison of things i think like uh i don't know i can't think of an analogy this is like that no and a metaphor is uh like if i'm like uh pig you have a heart of gold i think it's a metaphorical i think
Doodle Poodle: i uh i mean i don't know i'm really confused i i i don't want to step in here because i know it's not usually my part but um i think that the bucket of hot rice is more of like an idiom
Rufus T. Rufus: what what did you just call me i will not accept it not even not on air not on the podcast not even if we was just sitting across the table from one another mr frog you take it back he said idiot yeah well i got ears and i'm sitting right here now you're gonna come come come jumping in i offered to help both of y'all earlier with your situations at these these farms and now all of a sudden you're throwing around uh you know insults i i i i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm
Natty Bumpercar: what i'm gonna do good day to you all all right bye bye no he's already gone all right that was just confusion you were saying idiom which i think you might be right producer um but you know again i don't really know i'm gonna go just out on a limb and say uh that that i have no idea really whatsoever
Aloysious J. Pig: uh anyway uh so did everybody uh to see the the flyer that i i put one up in the uh in the kitchen i put one up next to the door to the bathroom and i and i you know i i sent it around in the uh into headquarters uh messaging and but i didn't get any response so did everybody get the get the
Doodle Poodle: get the flyer that i made i i haven't checked my inbox but i i will and let's see here recording recording and okay oh look at this what is what is this it was it's a
Aloysious J. Pig: thing i'm putting together it's like a team building episode size but we're gonna actually go pumpkin picking we're gonna go to a a field we're gonna get pumpkins so that we can put them
Natty Bumpercar: out for fall wait the whole episode was about how the apple picking and you hated it and the bad things happened no no no i don't understand it's it's a bad thing i don't understand i don't understand
Aloysious J. Pig: it's a completely different situation from apple picking all right this is pumpkin picking totally
