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.

Episode 126: Car-ments

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 good one!

Episode 125: New Car Smell

1 hr 28 sec
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, and most importantly - How do they smell in the first place?

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.

Episode 123: Multiverse of Mad Max

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? All of those questions and more, answered in this episode!
(Spoilers for the new Dr Strange movie are present in this episode, we make it clear when they are about to start though, and they end at 17:41!)

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 always listen to our first episode on this movie (Episode 20) if you want more context, or you can just ride it out. It probably won't make much more sense anyway.

Episode 121: Y’all seen these gas prices???

1 hr 1 min
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 make a bunch of jokes and whatnot about farts, but we get it all out of our system at the beginning of the episode out of respect for your time.

Episode 120: Riders Room: Cars on the Road

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 to a local prison. I mean, according to the concept art, they're literally traveling through time and meeting dinosaurs, so....
