The Ka-Chat

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!

I think this should explain everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nmwSTPIeXk

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.

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.

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, because it's pretty much all either of us has bee...

Why write a description when it all fits in the title?

***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 to an unlikely source for inspiration - ChatGPT,...

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.

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.

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 L Y. That sure would be helpful for us, let us kn...

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.

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.

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 really dug this year.

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  Road

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....

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 evidence of aliens first? It makes the rest seems...

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 enough to ask the question 'Hey what's up with Car...

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 definitely that Mater dies in this, the third episode of Ca...

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!

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, adult sized Lightning McQueen Crocs.

What is there to be said? It's here.

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 stone?
