Listen - These horrible little creatures have gotta sleep sometime, right? And if we can just figure out where... well, then we're in business. Join John and Lucas as they explore the idea of housing in the Carsverse!Av The Ka-Chat

I think this should explain everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nmwSTPIeXkAv The Ka-Chat

Who doesn't love a buffet, ya know? A good old fashioned round up. Roughly 10 - 15 different Carsverse characters looked at in rapid succession. So that's what The Ka-Chat boys have brought for you today! Join us as we look into everything from mummies to monorails in this doozy of episode.Av The Ka-Chat

Oh, say can you hear? This podcast, that is. Well good! Cause we've released another episode of it, this time exploring... various America themed things, I guess? Yeah, that'll work.Av The Ka-Chat

Hey, have y'all heard about this Zelda guy? Why are there so many legends about him? And why is he apparently crying in his new game? That's right folks, the inclusion of the ability to (sort of) build cars in the The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has given us just enough of an excuse to talk about it for this week's episode! Which is good,…

Why write a description when it all fits in the title?Av The Ka-Chat

***The following description was written by ChatGPT based on the prompt "Write an episode description for an episode of The Ka-Chat about using ChatGPT for ideas" and is better than anything Lucas has ever written for this*** In this episode of "The Ka-Chat", John and Lucas are feeling a bit stuck on ideas for their podcast, so they decide to turn …

It finally happened. After 148 episodes, John and Lucas finally decided to talk about something they are at least a little bit knowledgable about. And all it took was The Pokémon Company releasing a Pokémon that is quite literally a living car engine for them to do it.Av The Ka-Chat

Listen, I don't know a lot about the subject of convergent evolution, but from my limited understanding, it states that we will eventually all become crabs. So this episode is like that but Cars.Av The Ka-Chat

We've talked a lot about normal sized vehicles. We've explored the world of giant vehicles pretty extensively. We've even discussed tiny vehicles at length. But today? It's time we finally break down the exciting world of slightly smaller Cars that are not forklifts. Try not to get too excited, y'all.…

Listen, we've gotten pretty good at predicting these movies over the past several years. So why would we waste our time pitching Cars 5-7 when we can skip all the way to the most interesting entry of the series, Cars 8? If only there was another long running series we could base this that has to do with cars and racing and above all else... F A M I…

Hey.... maybe we should be writing some of this down? This week, we do just that, enshrining some of The Ka-Chat's biggest theories and observations in a living document, while leaving room for many, many more to be added. The Ka-Channon: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12m9vbUNNdQESXoUSscbuTAWPH-paFKpy4ZKU_jAqK3c/edit?usp=sharing…

Babies. What are they? We just don't know. And we know even less about the theoretical car versions of these tiny creatures that come from... somewhere? John won't tell me where he got Rory. It's starting to piss me off. Anyway, this one is about car babies.Av The Ka-Chat

Alright, straight up? This one isn't about Cars. We just got through Cars on the Road, we've been waiting for this day for a year and a half, we deserve a reward, alright??? So with that in mind and inspired by the many "Best of 2022" lists coming out right now, John and Lucas decided to just go through some shows, movies, games, and more that they…

Well folks... 3 months ago, we hit the highway, a couple of friends. There were new adventures round every bend. And whether racing fast, or getting towed... we were ever together. Cars on the RoadAv The Ka-Chat

You'd think that an episode focused on basically Mad Max happening in the Carsverse would be one of our favorites, right? Well, we thought that too....Av The Ka-Chat

As a disclaimer - This is not an episode about the amazing Dreamworks film of the same name. That may come at some point, but it is not this episode. There's some lore here, but our intrepid Cars-casters are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find it. Why did they do the episodes where Mater died and there were ghosts and dinosaurs and credible e…

I spent a while trying to come up with a "Pagliacci the Clown" joke for the description, but being honest, I finished editing this one at 1:40 AM and just wanna go to sleep, so you're just gonna have to use your imagination for this one, guys. This is the clown one. It's not very good. (If you're curious: "But doctor, we ARE the only podcast brave …

Alright, so the last few episodes have spoiled us a little bit. There are no dinosaurs in this one, no ghosts, no embodiments of the concept of death. BUT there is some wild body horror! And a fake alien abduction! And you KNOW Lucas and John make it weird and sexual, so that's sort of a Ka-Chat classic.…

Hey, straight up? In this one? Mater dies. And like, he ends up being fine. But Mater does die in this one, and it's so important you know that. The Car Grim Reaper comes down and reaps his Car soul (Kia Soul?). Other stuff happens. I would go so far to say other pretty wild stuff involving Cars body horror. But the one important thing is definitel…

Listen, y'all better hold onto your hats. Cause it's gonna get real spooky this week. Join the Ka-Chat boys as they dissect the second episode of Cars on the Road and it's many, many actual, canonical ghosts. (And one demon named Wraith Rod.) It's gets pretty wild, so be sure to buckle in!Av The Ka-Chat

Welcome.... to Carassic Park. We have spared no expense to bring you this episode exploring the premiere episode of Cars on the Road. Why are there dinosaurs? Why don't they look like Cars? What does this imply about all our theories of the Carsverse evolving from our own universe? And most importantly.... How does Lucas feel about his brand new, a…

What is there to be said? It's here.Av The Ka-Chat

Hey, ya know how there are big mountains and plateaus and stuff shaped like cars and planes and trains and stuff all over the Carsverse? Well, Lucas finally convinced John that talking about that deserved an episode! Are these giant stone cars naturally occurring? Did someone carve them? Or, perhaps most concerningly, were these cars always made of…

I'm going to be 100 with y'all - We didn't have an idea for this episode. So, we decided to take ideas from a site that gives out ideas! For free! So join us for the first (and hopefully last) edition of Lightning (McQueen) Round, where a random word is thrust upon us and we have to figure out how it relates to Cars as quickly as possible.…

Folks, we suddenly have no time left. We only have a month until Cars on the Road arrives??? We used to joke like we had all the time in the world. Oh, how we long those simpler days.... Anyway, there was a new trailer for the Cars show! Seems pretty wild. Listen to us as we describe exactly how wild and in what specific ways!…

Y'all ever hear of this funky purple car? Well, we just did and we're clamoring for as much info as he can give us. Why can only some of the animals talk? Why will none of the adults help Putt-Putt with his various and deadly tasks? And of course, how can we connect him to the Carsverse?Av The Ka-Chat

Ka-Chow? More like Cha-Ching! That was the only idea I had for this description. Uh... We talk about the stock market. Mostly because it reminded of us of stock cars. That's... That's really it, I guess.Av The Ka-Chat

Hey why do these Cars wear hats and glasses and stuff sometimes? And are their paint jobs clothes or skin? Or both? And why didn't they make more adult sized Lightning McQueen crocs? And what is the central ethos under which The Ka-Chat operates? Somehow, we do answer all these questions in this episode. I dunno how really, but... it's a pretty goo…

I really wanted to title this episode Scents and Sensibility, but the episode has nothing to do with Jane Austen or her novels, and the title had nothing to do with Cars. So altogether, a pretty bad title. Anyway - This week, we've got a pretty gross episode for ya! Join us as we discuss what cars smell like, what smells they like and wouldn't like…

Listen, we didn't plan for this one to get a little wild. We never thought it could! But quite frankly, we spend most of the episode debating what could even be a rat in this world, and our top candidates are the concept of filth, a beyblade, and a human man. So. All pretty good jumping off points, and let me tell ya, we jump off of all of them.…

Y'all seen the new Marvel joint? It's pretty good, but it (along with the other 5-10 multiverse centered movies that have come out recently) has thinking... What if there was a Cars Multiverse? And how can we work Mad Max into it, since it fits for the title pun so well? Are we looking at more of Crisis on Infinite Earths, or a Space Jam situation?…

Y'all. This movie is not very good. If you like it, more power to ya, but we don't care for it that much. That being in mind, we do a pretty bad job explaining what actually happens in the movie and kind of reference everything as if you also watched this bad spin-off of an okay kids movie. So I imagine you might be a bit lost for this one. You can…

An episode posted on time, two weeks in a row? What is this, a podcast or something? Anyway, this week, John and Lucas have had enough, and they're taking a stand. If gas prices are this high in our world, what must they be like in the Carsverse, and what horrible effects would that have on a society even more dependent on fuel than ours? Also, we …

Ya know, Pixar has a lot on their plate. With all the animation they have to be doing for the upcoming Cars on the Road series, we thought it might be a good idea to take a weight off their shoulders and pitch some ideas for them. Nothing crazy - Just a crossover with Gilmore Girls, a out of control spell wreaking havoc on Mia and Tia, and a visit …

Listen. Lucas screwed up something on the backend and didn't realize that episodes weren't publishing for the past few weeks. So uh. It's been a minute, and Lucas is sorry about that. But we're coming back with what we think is a pretty dang good one. You ever pay much attention to all the little sponsors and brand names in the background of these …

Could we have done an episode about both the summer and winter olympics all at once? Yeah, for sure, but listen man. We're in the 100's now. We gotta do every possible thing we can to stretch this thing out and reach Cars: On the Road. Ends up working out anyway, as we do spend 15 minutes talking about the bios of 2 pretty minor characters that hav…

Look... Pixar invented a country. They looked at the list of countries in the world and said: "These are great and we want them to be featured in the series of movies about talking Cars we're making. But what if there was one more?" And then they just made it happen. I dunno man. it's not even a plot point? It's revealed in the supplementary bio of…

Welcome to the family Madrigal! Or, at least, welcome to two guys talking about the family Madrigal. And Cars, and how it the two relate to one another. You may think: "This one seems like a stretch. Are you guys just doing this episode because you like Encanto and also to catch the latest pop culture wave?" And well... You'd be right! But you shou…

Listen folks. We really don't care for this one. We know it's children's movie about talking Planes, but it just has a horrible message, annoying characters, bad writing, and it makes no sense. We definitely do some theorizing and whatnot, but I'll be honest with ya, this is mostly us complaining about this movie that I gotta assume most of you hav…

Alright, two things right off the bat you should know about this episode: It contains NO spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home It DOES contain some descriptions of real spiders, if you want to avoid that. That being said, now that we think about it, how would a spider work in the Carsverse, let alone a Spider-Man? Could a car swing from building to …

Oh you KNOW your boys love making new mini-series, so we done did it again. This time we are finally making some choices. If anyone is qualified to make these choices, wouldn't it be us? So join us as we both come in with our chosen champions, debate them, and finally come to a consensus. Some choices may shock you. Some may anger you. But they wil…

Alright, we've had enough. What is the name of the kooky tow truck sidekick from these movies? Is it Mater or Tow Mater? It seems like even the wiki is confused, it's got two separate entries for the two names! Wait... Unless.... What if Mater and Tow Mater aren't even the same person? What if there are two separate entities named Mater and Tow Mat…

Listen, the Cars on the Road news and Thanksgiving may have thrown us off a couple weeks, but nothing can stop us from doing our grim work. (Note: In this context, "Our grim work" refers to rewatching the movie Cars 3 in order to generate content for our Cars-centric Podcast) How did like our journey back to the most serious entry in the Cars canon…

Listen folks, we were going to stick to our schedule and rewatch Cars 3 this week, but hey, they don't put out concept art and release an official name for Cars on the Road every week, ya know? Join us as we stare deeply into these pieces of concept art and they stare deeply right back at us, cause folks, it looks like we may be returning to Mater'…

So they dropped a trailer for Lightyear, right? But like.... how does it fit in with Toy Story? Is it a movie from within the Toy Story movies? Is it all taking place within a child's imagination? Or was there a real, human man who existed within the Toy Story Universe named Buzz Lightyear who went to space and they made a bunch of toys about? Join…

Folks, it is spook season once again! And this year, we found a movie that is pretty much what it says on the tin. Like, you're not supposed to judge things by their covers, but honestly, you can pretty effectively do that this time. It's a doozy folks. Vulgar, gross, gory, and very British, so if any of those things sound like they aren't up your …

Alternate titles for this episode include: "SUVNL", "SNLUV", and "SNL is coming for our jobs". Anyway, SNL did a sketch entitled "Cars 4" last week. And folks, they got the man himself to participate. That's right, with the inclusion of Owen Wilson, it is officially close enough to canonical that we can do a whole episode of our podcast about it. H…

Oh, a new Marvel show? People are into it? It has an easily replicable formula that can be applied to other franchises? Interesting.... Anyway, uh, we have a new mini series! In this one, we put on our speculating hats, and take a look at the Carsverse if things had gone differently. For the first episode, we look at a seemingly simple question: Wh…
