The Ka-Chat

Hey, do you happen to have the time? Because I've got a feeling that it's hero time.

That's a Ben 10 reference. This episode is our Ben 10 and Generator Rex episode. Really, it's supposed to be our Ben 10 episode, but that was too hard so we cheated and used another show to do all the hard work. 

But like, not the video game. The crime. But like, not the stealing of a car, more like a Car stealing something? Listen, Lucas had some trouble coming up with the title this week, so cut him some slack.

Anyway, this week we are coming at you with a look at the world of crime in the Carsverse! How hard would it be to commit murder? What would heisting be like? And what's up with the Easter Buggy, a Car-ified version of the Easter Bunny who appears in 1 book and has nothing to do with the topic of the week? Well, we talk about all these things, so tune in to get some answers!

Listen, the title may be dumb, but it made Lucas laugh, and that's all that matters.

Anyway, with John just weeks away from the birth of his first child, we figured we would use this opportunity to milk his new knowledge of the exciting world of pregnancy! Join us as, honestly, we get a bit too in depth into the details of pregnancy and childbirth, doing our best (but not that good of a job) at applying them to Cars.

Hey wait, it's been a year? ANOTHER ONE??? Well, you know what they say, time flies when you're making a weird podcast about some children's movies with your best friend!

Anyway, for this one, we decided to celebrate by having a game night for us and anyone who wants to play along with us. Join us for exciting trivia about the movies, our podcast, and every in between. Or, you can choose to sit back and relax to the calming noises of John and Lucas not knowing nearly as much as they should about their own podcast and it's subject.

You remember when we did an episode about Toy Story 90 episodes ago that had very little to do with Cars and we were like "Yeah, we're gonna do this sometimes! It's not always gonna be about Cars!" and then we never really kept to that except for the time Lucas talked about Netflix Christmas movies for a long time? 

Well, good. Cause this one is about Soul. Also, a little bit about Cars, because at this point, it's second nature. Sorry.

FINALLY, we've got around to exploring this fan favorite! We know you've all been clamoring for, uh... let me check my notes... the guy who has a mattress on his head from Cars? Really? You have? Well, who am I to judge, John and Lucas made the episode so there must be something there. And what's there is an incredible journey where (due in large part to the lack of content they decided to base this episode on) things get a little weird. Could Leroy be unto Sisyphus, forever cursed to transport a hulking mass from one point to another, only to be foiled in the end? Or is just, ya know, a guy with a mattress?

This week, John and Lucas sweat the small stuff.

.......That's all I came up with for the episode description, I really thought more jokes would start flowing after that. Well, anyway, we're talking about microscopic beings this week! Are bacteria minuscule submarines? Are viruses and computer viruses one and the same in the Carsverse? And would masking even be effective on their giant, giant mouths? 

Hey uh, we're doing another one of these! Like the Toy Car Story episode, but this time exploring Finding Nemo and it's sequel. Anyway, join us as we examine the implications of underwater society of sentient submarines and whatnot that are also fish, I guess. How do they breath down there? What's up with them eating each other? And what are the implications of the prominently featured dentists office from Finding Nemo?

Well, us two old fogeys decided to finally get with the times and check out TikTok. And boy, is there ever a wealth of content for us there. Cosplay, skits, mind-probing quesitons, and of course, the sexualization of fictional characters who are also, ya know, Cars. So join John and Lucas as they basically siphon content from others on an app they aren't too great at using.

*Note: If you'd like to watch any of these TikToks, all links and creators are together in a handy thread on our Twitter!

Oops, Lucas needed a bonus day to get this one done. Oh well! It's here now, and boy is it a doozy. We finally go into the two best tire salesmen this side of the Mississippi, their background, their jobs, and everything in between. Two notable moments: 1. Lucas and John spend a while comparing one of these characters to a USA network show that hasn't been on since 2013. 2. Lucas realizes that their show is basically just talking about Cars headcannons each week and has a bit of a personal crisis about that.
