Hello and welcome to SciShow Tangents Cars, and Time Travel Mater commentary track.
So you are a subscriber to the Sideshow Tangents Patreon.
And not only are you, but also over 500 people are now patrons of our Tangents Patreon.
We are so appreciative of your appreciation for what we do, which we love doing.
So hopefully you know what the heck is
going on right now, but maybe you don't. A long time ago, we went on one of our famous tangents
about the Cars movie, Universe, and we discovered that the Cars in Cars have been shown ingesting
water in two different ways, through their mouths and through their radiators.
So we very rashly proclaimed that we would do a movie commentary of Cars 2 and the Cars
Short time travel mater, wherein we try to unravel the science, magic, and mystery of
the Cars universe.
And that then became our 500 patron goal on Patreon.
And now we have 500 patrons!
We have more than that.
How many do we have, Sam?
We have 560 patrons. Whoa! Oh my gosh. How many do we have Sam? Yeah, we have 560 patrons
Yeah, all right. Well, we're late another goal. We're gonna need another goal soon
Yeah, we'll see how much of a nightmare this one turns out to be in there just expectations accordingly. Well done. Yes
I'm sure people I'm sure that there are so many people out there who are thinking themselves
You know what I have is two and a half straight hours of time to listen to three goofs
look like watching a movie together.
Yeah.
And maybe subscribe to Disney Plus.
I might have to do that too.
Is it a good movie?
Is that what it is?
It is good.
Okay.
It's good.
You like it?
Yeah.
I have some reviews pulled here. We can talk about that while the movie's playing though
to fill time.
Uh-huh, good idea, good idea.
So have you ever done a movie commentary,
Sari or Sam?
No, I haven't.
I've done a bunch for Project for Awesome stuff.
It's really easy.
We're gonna queue up the movie.
We're gonna have it be at a certain moment.
What moment are you at, Sam?
I'm at zero, zero on Disney+.
Yeah, I guess since it's like Disney plus now,
you can just do it at zero.
Yeah.
So we'll have it at zero, zero, zero, zero, zero,
and we'll all press play together.
And when, when you push that play button,
we will magically transport into your living room
and we will all watch a movie together.
And not only the three of us, but also,
and I don't know why this happens, one chicken every time.
One?
Yeah.
A chicken?
Yeah, there's always one chicken.
It just always also magically transports into the living room.
It's very weird.
It's not going to zoom into this call right now.
No.
It's going to be in their living room.
No, no, yeah, which won't be part of our thing at all.
You might want to put some newspaper down.
That's a good tip.
It's potty trained. It's a good tip. It's body trend, it's a body trend chicken.
So I'm ready to push play
whenever you're ready to tell me to push play.
Yeah, but just for clarity,
what problem are we trying to solve right now?
Well, okay, so in Cars 2, the movie we're about to watch,
I believe, and Hank's modeling it right now beautifully
by drinking out of a bottle,
the cars are shown drinking liquid with their mouths.
Then I also believe in time travel mater,
the cars are shown drinking liquid with their radiators.
So. Yeah.
And I think that in this movie,
there's a significant bathroom scene.
So that implies.
Can they go to the bathroom?
That there is some kind of bathroom-like activity that happens after
the drinking of the water, but we'll get to that when we get to it.
I do have a list of questions here that maybe we can publish it as a study guide or something.
The questions I wrote down are, how do they drink water, obviously?
Do they put gas in the normal car place?
And do they need gas or do they need food as well?
How do they reproduce?
I don't think any movie's gonna go into this, probably.
There have to be a baby car at some point.
There's definitely baby cars in Cars 1.
There is a child car at the very least.
So we can dive into it.
They must grow.
Yeah, where did they come from, question mark?
Which a lot of people are like, it's post-apocalyptic,
but in the ride, Radiator Springs Racers at Disneyland,
there's cave paintings portraying cars in caveman times,
and they're like old cars.
Great, okay, then that is definitely.
Like 1800s cars.
So cars exist, they exist absent humans.
They evolved. I think they almost have to.
And they, yeah, okay.
And then the one that scares me the most,
and I actually have an example right here.
So there's this oil can I have,
I got it as a souvenir from Disneyland,
and it's Dino Co., which is the company
that makes the gas in the Cars universe.
And it has a real dinosaur on it.
Just a regular old dinosaur to your ass.
All the animals in Cars are also cars.
So who is this guy?
I think just like a fictional being.
He's the Bigfoot.
We're answering all these questions too fast.
Sorry.
It's like the Shmoo. It all these questions too fast? Oh, sorry. Well, it's like, what was this?
Like, it's like the Shmoo.
It's just like the Shmoo, yes.
And finally, what's inside of them?
Okay.
Well, let's just have Mater crack himself open for us.
But first, before we do that, we're gonna watch a movie.
You wanna do our countdown, Sam?
When I say play, hit play.
Don't hit play on one. Okay.
Three, two, one, play.
Beautiful.
All right.
Okay, you see the stars?
The stars and those clouds.
I do, Sarri.
Walk me through the whole dang movie.
Sam, do you see the flag?
There's a train.
And now a little bit more of the castle.
There's fireworks.
Yeah.
This is what a commentary is, right, Hank? Like, we use a comment. I see all the castle there's fireworks. Well, yeah This is what a commentary is right Hank like we see all the castle now
Yeah, and I'm making little faces on our Disney Plus shared stream
Do you see them or is it just for me?
No, this is also a really good ad for Disney Plus as well
Well, except that the faces aren't working for you guys. I'm making them. No, I see him. Okay, you're winking right now. Oh
serious crying laughing Hank your profiles is named profile for you guys, I'm making them. No, I see them. You're winking right now. Oh, Siri's crying. Siri's crying, laughing.
Hank, your profile's just named Profile.
So boring.
I didn't think this would be a piece of content.
Mine is just named Profile too.
All right.
And McMissile.
And you've seen this, Hank.
I have, I've seen it at least once.
Well, I've seen it at least twice,
but I don't know if it's paying attention the whole time.
I do think I told you not to watch it.
I have a five-year-old, so it's a thing that happens.
Uh-oh.
When this video was pixelated, I thought my internet was pooping at me.
Yeah, that's not supposed to be.
It's supposed to look like that.
That's a bad start.
I was a little worried That's not supposed to be. It's supposed to look like that. That's a bad start.
I was a little worried we didn't start over.
All right, we're seeing some inside of cars, maybe,
or how cars, things are manufactured just then.
Yeah, that's true.
So, I don't know what to do with that.
I don't know what to make of that.
Also, boats exist in this world.
Is this boat alive?
Boats exist in this world. Is this boat alive?
Boat is alive.
Boats are alive.
Everything's alive.
Is that radar machine alive?
Is the car?
No, except everything else that's not alive.
I like the idea that potentially all of the parts of the car are alive of their own accord,
but they have to come together to be a larger organism
like a Portuguese Man-O-War.
That's, yeah, like the thing from the movie, The Thing.
I don't know about that.
You've never seen that?
Uh-oh, no.
What you doing?
Uh-oh, this guy looks bad.
Wow.
Oh.
He's big. He's got a gun.
Is the gun alive? Is the gun alive?
Is the gun like his tongue sticking out?
Yeah.
That car had a... That car boat had a gun.
Yeah. And cars. Maybe that's why this is PG and not G.
Oh, yeah.
Just that right there, laser gun.
It's a little scary.
It started pretty, yeah, pretty scary.
Oh.
Are we going to learn an important lesson about renewable resources in this movie?
Mmm.
I don't think that any are the, maybe the cars are all electric.
Oh.
If you had to be refitted to be an electric, could you be refitted to be an electric car well that required
Well, why if they're if they're all easy why is there so many offshore oil rigs? I don't yeah
Nice he's got magnet boots. Mm-hmm. I'm gonna drive up the building here. Is it alive is the oil rig alive?
There's some eyes so the Is it alive? Is the oil rig alive? It doesn't have eyes. So the oil rig is not alive.
So there is some rule where you can build things that do not gain sentience.
Yeah.
Do you have to be careful while you're doing it?
While you're building stuff?
Yeah.
Or maybe the oil rig is alive, but they just like never gave it eyes.
Oh no. That's haunting. Or maybe the oil rig is alive, but they just like never gave it eyes.
Oh no.
That's haunting.
Oh, this little crane guy is alive.
Yeah.
Gosh, a crane seems like it would be part of an oil rig.
Like, part of it.
Yeah, like how I think, I feel like the gun should be alive,
and it should just be like a part, like a little friend that lives on the boat.
Professor Zundapp. not this asshole again. He's cute. I like professors on depth. He's got I've got the same haircut as my
analytical chemistry professor
Does this car have a gun you better well, he's got a tightrope gun.
It's a grappling hook, isn't it?
Yeah, he's like...
Oh, now he's like one of those cameras at the football games.
Cars cannot look up, so fortunately he is.
God, that's a good point, Sam.
He's totally safe.
Oh, the camera is a...
Oh, he's got a gun!
He's got a gun, too!
Everybody's got guns in this movie!
They're very realistic guns. Yeah, we've learned that cars are alive. No! The camera is a gun Oh he's got a gun too Everybody's got guns in this movie
They're very realistic guns
We've learned that cars are alive
He was gonna assassinate whatever was in there
They saw his shadow
It's Finn McMissile
Oh wow there's a lot of cars around Finn
They're gonna cause a problem for you
Here comes the bad crane.
I'm gonna kill this crane.
Haha, you think you've got me?
I've got me.
I'm gonna get away into the ocean.
There's nowhere to run, buddy.
This is exciting.
It is.
Okay, what's that now?
They can poop.
They can poop.
Is it poop?
Or are they squid?
I should have put that on my thing.
Can they poop?
And we're gonna learn, I guess, the answer to that question in this movie.
The bathroom scene.
I think he's dead.
That car died.
Whoa!
He did die.
He fell into pieces.
IED died.
So the answer to can they die is yes.
And when they die, whatever magical force was holding the pieces together and giving
them sentience must disappear.
It disappears and then they just fall into a million pieces.
Yeah, they're not made with screws and nuts and bolts.
They're made with, I don't know, magic.
I assume that it goes, wow, okay, a lot of them are dying now and so a lot of life forces are, I assume that it goes... Wow, okay, a lot of them are dying now, and so a lot of life forces... Yeah, they just all die.
Are, I assume...
They've got to... That life force probably ends up somewhere in like a big pool,
and then it gets put in a new cars eventually.
Oh, that's like what happens in Transformers.
Oh. There's like the spark, and then...
What's his name? They go back to the all spark when they die,
and then they can get put into a new Transformer.
Oh, he went backward
But he he is not gonna die excellent. He fell farther than the guy who died Yeah, well if you could just jump off why didn't you just jump off in the beginning?
He wanted to kill a bunch of people
He wanted to use his guns. Yeah, he's like I it turns out Emma Jetski
He's like, I, it turns out, am a jet ski. This whole time.
Finn McMissile has probably the highest body count of any Disney character.
Oh, it's not a gun.
It's a torpedo launcher.
And then there's a little gun.
So there is a little car on the boat.
It's making the gun go.
But the gun is not a car.
Does it have to be like a vehicle for it to gain sentience?
Oh, fan, make Russell rest in peace.
The crane on the boat was not a vehicle though.
It didn't have wheels, did it?
Oh, is the crane a vehicle?
Even if it can't move?
Stationary crane for sure.
Yeah.
Oh, he's pooping.
What does that count as a vehicle?
He's pooping.
He's got a diarrheal disorder.
Oh, no.
And now he's a submarine too.
Yeah.
He's got to breathe. They have to breathe.
He just shat out his wheels.
His own feet.
Oh, okay.
He left them behind.
Like lizards can do.
Yeah.
But I don't think he can regenerate them.
Maybe he can.
Oh, this fucking guy.
Did you think maybe Mater wouldn't be in this one, Sam?
I know he's the star of this movie.
He's a star?
Yep.
Oh.
Well, you know, Lightning McQueen and he are, it's a buddy comedy.
Okay.
So they have mouths, but are their mouths only for talking?
But also they don't have to, like, not all the things have mouths.
It's like the boat didn't have a mouth.
Oh, another interesting thing is that the rock formations
are cars as well.
What? What does that mean?
That, what do you mean?
Oh yeah, that looks like they're like back there,
they're cars, totally.
Yeah.
And then there's like, there's like tail fins up on there.
I think you've cracked this universe.
I don't think the earth is a globe in the cars universe.
I think it's in the shape of a car.
And so all rock formations are made.
The image of the Earth.
It's just a bunch of cars all squeezed together.
Yeah. The Earth is a car in Cars.
But it's like if every mountain was like a human head.
So I've got.
Oh, he's just really excited to see his friend right now. Is that what's going on?
It's good causing a lot of distress for this poor man. Mm-hmm. I think so. He's torturing him
So alright, does this guy on the right have a mouth? Okay. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. He's got a big chin
So if we continue to examine the physiology, I think we're gonna find some answers here, okay
Yeah, you're fine we know what we were doing the whole time
Now he's at the doctor
Yeah
Nice okay, all right there they Now he's at the doctor. Yeah.
Nice, okay. All right.
They're friends. Fist bumping.
They're fist bumping.
They're still doing it.
They're doing a lot of fist bumping.
They're best friends.
Oh, he said that too.
They're our best friends, Mac.
So is the truck, if he has more than four wheels,
like a giant centipede kind of human?
Also, Lightning McQueen lives inside the truck too.
Oh, I don't think I would have that relationship
with another person.
Well, sometimes people go inside people.
I guess, but not usually for transportation.
Generally for other reasons.
This guy died.
Did he die in a car accident? No, he died off screen because he was played by Paul Newman and Paul guy died. Oh, the HUD... Did he die in a car accident?
No, he died off-screen because he was played by Paul Newman and Paul Newman died.
Oh.
And I read that...
Paul Newman was alive that recently?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
I read that out of respect for Paul Newman, who died in 2008,
Doc Hudson from Cars is not included in this movie, and early scene implies he dies.
However, Fillmore the Volkswagen van, voiced by George Carlin, who also died in 2008,
appears here voiced by a different actor.
So...
Well, that's a lot of respect for Paul Newman.
All right, where's this mouth going?
Okay, here's an animal car.
All right.
This is an animal car?
Yeah, so it's stupid.
But it has a mouth.
That's a big car.
What's it doing?
So does that happen naturally?
Like that evolved alongside?
Uh oh.
What's falling out?
He's farted on them.
Was that a fart?
Was that a fart out of the exhaust pipe?
I think so.
So that's where they fart.
They've just fart out the exhaust pipe, which makes sense.
Why do they have livestock?
Do they eat them?
Do they use them for work?
Do they eat anything?
Obviously, that one was used for work.
Yeah.
They can't eat.
They can't eat.
It doesn't make sense.
So the boat didn't...
I'm sorry for missing plot, but the boat didn't have a mouth.
I think it did.
They talked.
No, the boat had a mouth.
The boat had a mouth?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
He's telling Mater that he's going to go on a date, and Mater was like, wow, okay, let's
go on a date.
And then he said no with my wife.
So now Mater's really sad.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You need to be a little less sad.
Like everybody's got, oh, that one is definitely a car.
Everybody's got, you know, got to share different priorities.
Oh, wow, she's wearing makeup.
Yeah, she's a girl.
That's how you know.
Oh, bow tie license plate.
That's a great character choice.
That is really good, I like that.
He just had that sitting around.
I love that.
He's classier than literally any other car here.
Yeah, and it's like holding the little tray.
Like it's one of those trays that you get at Hoagieville.
Clamps onto your door.
Do you guys like Mater? I hate Mater.
I can tell you hate Mater.
You're not going to like him any better in this movie.
He's kind of a wreck.
My problem with him is that his name is really stupid.
I don't get like the joke of his name.
What's his name? Mater.. I don't get, like, the joke of his name.
What's his name?
Mater.
What does that mean?
There's not more to it?
Like toe, like a tow truck, like Tow Mater.
And like how you, uh, Southern accent says tomato, I think.
I think that's the joke.
Yes, his name is Sir Tow Mater.
KG.
Does he get knighted?
Does he get knighted?
He gets knighted at the end of this spoiler alert. He does?
He must.
What's the KG stand for?
That's like the designation of what kind of knight he is.
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah.
KG is an order of the guarder.
They just changed into being electric.
You foreshadowed.
The plot.
Look at this corn oil
all in all
Is this gonna be evil renewable resources
Mmm mel Dorado ha
That's that's Eddie is it I
That's Eddie Izzard. I like this kind of like Kangol hat.
Dead dinosaurs.
So dinosaurs do exist.
He said dinosaur.
And died.
He said fossil fuels are dead dinosaurs.
So dinosaurs existed and somehow evolved into cars or there was a separate species coexisting
with dinosaurs.
Something had to have happened. There was some apocalyptic event that occurred.
Like the meteorite hit, dinosaurs all died,
but instead of humans, instead of mammals, it was cars.
Yeah, and they didn't have to be invented or anything
or designed by people.
No, no, no.
I think that they arrived on the meteorite.
Like Transformers.
They're an alien species.
Yeah.
I mean, but they're not a species
because they're not biological.
I refuse to accept that they're biological.
I don't think they could be anything but.
What do you mean?
Yeah, they're maybe and they grow up.
No, that's true.
Do they molt?
Are they like hermit crabs kind of?
Where they are little biological entities
into different metal shells?
Yeah.
Yes.
Cause they have exoskeletons obviously.
Like there's no...
Is it metal or are they made of chitin?
Oh, they're giant bugs.
I like that.
That makes more sense.
Like the number of wheels thing, you can have however many feet you want.
Just add it on your exoskeleton.
Uh-huh.
Is he talking shit about Lightning McQueen or something right now?
Yeah, I think so.
Ooh, she likes him.
You know why his name is Bernoulli?
Why?
Because Bernoulli was a guy who just studied like airflow and fluid dynamics, so there's
a bunch of like Bernoulli principles that are applicable to, specifically to the kinds
of cars that go very, very fast.
This is the kind of thing you're not going to get on any other audio commentary.
Especially about cars, too.
Oh. Made her called in.
But a phone is not alive.
So there's no face on the phone.
Because it can't move!
It can't move. Okay, but the crane is the one weird exception.
The crane can move.
It just doesn't move from place to place, but it moves around.
The guns moved and the guns weren't alive.
I think the guns should be alive.
The guns were a part of the vehicles.
But the crane was a part of the...
The crane was part of the oil rig.
You're right, okay, nevermind.
Maybe the crane is the oil rig as just where the face is.
That's what I was thinking too. That's his head.
And the rest is his big old butt.
Yeah.
Alright. All right.
I'll have to ring these losers.
This Kachow is his catchphrase.
He didn't even ask him what they wanted to go.
Yeah, Kachow is his catchphrase.
I haven't seen a single car.
Sarah doesn't listen to music. she's also never seen a car.
Every day I walk out and I just like select a blindness.
He's got a piece of paper you hold up so you can't see anything.
He's drinking with his mouth, you missed it.
Drank with his mouth, what did he drink?
Oh wait. Okay there's more drinks.
What did he do?
I'll take over.
He drank booze.
And it went into his mouth?
Yeah.
And then he barfed it back out.
Oh, so it came out.
That tells me nothing.
So he just tasted it and spit it out.
This song is by The Cars.
Oh.
So.
I see what they did.
I see what they did there.
He got real headlights.
I see what they did there.
He got real headlights.
I see what they did there.
I see what they did there.
I see what they did there. I see what they did there. I see what they did there. I see what they did there. I see what they did there. This song is by The Cars. Oh.
So.
I see what they did.
I see what they did there.
He got real headlights.
So, Arie, in the first one we discovered his headlights were just painted on.
Yeah, but they put in real headlights just now?
Yeah, they just put real ones in.
Oh, wow, now he can really kachow.
So the plane also had a mouth and the eyes.
Yeah, there's a movie called Planes, so the plane's being alive is not a question.
That's a big plane!
Okay, he has a neck rest, implying that his neck is half of his body.
Oh, she's dead.
Yeah, where is his neck? Are the buildings alive?
That's what I've always wondered too.
And how do they, they never really showed them
going in the buildings and skyscrapers and stuff.
Like, do they got stairs?
So they got elevators.
Now you're about to see an ad.
They have ramps in this one, you'll see.
There's like a bunch of scenes that happen inside
of big buildings.
A fun company name.
Happy Nut.
I like that.
Nitro-Aid.
Okay, you could buy a tire from a vending machine.
That's a foot.
That's a foot.
Is it a shoe?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
They're not biological.
Sleeping pods.
This is the Lightning McQueen store.
Oh, that guy was very excited.
Is the toy Lightning McQueen alive?
And why not if he's alive?
Because that would be a horror movie.
It's why.
Oh, I don't know about that.
I don't know about that either.
I don't know about this either.
They're not even that big.
Those were small cars.
It's also fascinating in this alternate reality that they, that human history was exactly
the same as it would be otherwise.
Yeah, everything, everything else all lined up.
So that human history and car history totally parallel.
A lot of the same landmarks.
Who mine?
Like technology, innovation.
I guess they have very big like mining vehicles,
so it makes sense that they'd have like big buildings
that they could grow.
Grow? Grow? Build.
They could grow them. Maybe they grow them.
I mean, I don't see, they don't have fingers and hands,
so I don't know how they would build a building.
Not having hands, it seems like you'd have to invent a robot
with hands to do almost everything for you
Well, like the little the little guy with the lifters. He has two wheels and then two little hand thingies to help do maintenance
Okay, what's this guy doing? How's he got this in his hand?
It's in his mouth. Is it in his mouth?
No, it's loop. Is it a loop on the side of him? Oh
That's cheating
Nobody's gonna like Mater and it's cheating. Nobody's going to like Mater, and it's going to make...
The conflict that's being set up is not complex.
It's a piston!
The elevator's a piston!
Oh, that's cute.
So Mater's going to...
He's going to pretend he doesn't know Mater and hurt Mater's feelings.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah.
He needs Mater to just butt out for a little while
so he can be with the fancy people.
A piston's part of a car, right?
So like, what if our elevators were part of us?
Like a little- Just the big hand
that went for you. Yeah.
Right here.
He stepped on the big hand and it went for me.
All right, he's got a drink.
What's it gonna do with it?
Just stand next to it, I guess.
Who's got the camera?
Do they have cameras?
Oh, they have lots of cameras.
Yeah, and how are they using them?
Eh, eh?
They're not gonna show us those cowards.
No, but there's a bunch of humans standing off to the side with cameras, because they
can't actually take pictures as cars.
Oh, it would be scary if just a human
was just walking into the scene.
Just around.
Hey guys, what's up?
I just had a picture, and then a human showed up,
but they were like three times bigger than the cars.
It turns out they were all toys.
Oh, hey, all right.
How does he know his girlfriend?
Yeah.
I don't know how he knows his girlfriend, but she probably was like, we went to college together or something.
I studied abroad one year.
Yeah.
Oh, I bet that's what she said.
Studied abroad.
Brrrr.
I love the little sounds they make.
You can't really study abroad in Italy without coming home with some kind of attachment to
a strange car.
Ciao.
He toasted but didn't touch the drink.
Didn't touch it with anything.
That guy said, Chao McQueen, and McQueen could have said, Ka-chao.
Oh, he showed up.
He must have.
Huge miss, huge miss.
So they've got the cameras, and that camera looks like that thing.
Whoa, they got funny little hat bows.
And like suction cups.
He's got a mustache.
Here's Finn McMissle.
Giant ratchet wrench or something.
I don't know what those are called.
Not the thing, not the thing.
Socket wrench, is that a socket wrench?
Ooh, that's not a camera.
That's a lady.
Here's a sexy car.
Aren't you gonna keep checking the cameras though?
Cause there was a murder.
Oh, They've got
Wait choose lied that there's no no radiator that it's possible to have no radiator
Let's try the canapes you guys gonna eat
Is that what canapes are I'm not fancy
Uh-huh. Is that what canapes are? I'm not fancy. Is that like an appetizer or something?
Yeah, once you turn 40, they tell you about canapes.
Okay, I'm almost, I'm a little less than halfway there.
What? You're 19?
Uh, I mean, I'm more than halfway there in my 30s.
Right, yeah.
Alright, a little less.
That's what I meant.
Great. So...
This car is... hot.
Sounds like, okay, now I am wondering how car babies are made.
This car's got hips.
She is really round
Yeah, yeah, they got way up in the back. He's pretty round too. Does he that mean he's just more straight
But she doesn't see her butt back there. Yes, you got a butt
Her name is Holly shift well as well sexy name for a car
Okay, here we go, He's not drinking them though.
He's stealing them.
No, he's just hanging.
Eat. Food.
Oh, there's sushi.
Oh, there's sushi.
Oh, this is gonna be offensive, isn't it?
He's gonna get some pistachio ice cream.
He's gonna eat a big thing of wasabi and go crazy.
The problem with this is it's gonna take forever for him to eat the wasabi, even though we all know it's gonna happen.
Yeah, they're gonna keep doing the bit. It's gonna take forever for him to eat the wasabi even though we all know it's gonna happen
Yeah, they're gonna keep doing the bit
It is free right he says What's this do you know this guy's name
Wait that guy's wheels turn, but his hubcaps don't turn oh
Like you can go sideways no look see electric things stay flat oh
Yeah, he's electric they do the one who converted it didn't show him eat it
Oh, yeah, he's electric. They do. The one who converted.
It didn't show him.
Eat it.
Well, he's drinking.
And so it obviously went into his mouth.
Yeah.
I don't want to see implied eating.
I want to see you want to eat a hamburger.
I want to see chewing.
I want to see swallowing.
Oh, Mater.
Oh, Mater. What's his name?
Sir Axelrod.
Sir Axelrod.
He has his name on his nose.
Like all...
Oh yeah, like all humans.
Like all environmentally friendly humans, please.
Oh yeah, eccentric Go to the bathroom. Okay, bathroom. So there's a ladies and a men's. I don't know which is which, because they're all cars.
That was the ladies.
You know, ladies. Oh, God.
It's going to be hard not to pause.
What is happening?
Everybody's currently occupied.
It's like a wash. It's a wash.
Oh, there's a car, a tire wash or something.
But some of them are carbid A.
Oh, my God. There's a hole.
There's a hole. Yeah. You drive up onto it. So they're there. They're carbide. Oh my God. There's a hole. This is obscene.
There's a hole, yep.
You drive up onto it, so they're stuck.
Oh my God.
The stuff's underneath them.
Okay.
I don't like this.
It's gonna be a carbide.
Clamp it on.
Locks you in.
Yeah.
All right, now we're going to be.
Oh yeah, that's a bidet.
That points at the butt area.
Now there's nobody in any of those.
Every one of them has a different label.
So like the different things do different things.
Well, it's like, it's like there's American toilets and non-American toilets in a lot
of countries.
But every label was different.
So there's like.
It was?
Yeah, she's got some nice rims.
She's hot.
All right.
What about the washing with the sink?
Do they wash your hands?
No.
Yeah, how did you, oh, more guns.
I do not like how many guns there are.
It's a surprising amount of guns for a Disney car movie.
All right.
Okay, so to wipe your butt.
Okay, that's a normal thing that happens.
That happens to cars.
That is a car thing.
They're smooching, I guess.
Oh. Just a little more of that.
So it's wiping his butt right now,
and his butt's his whole body.
No, no, that's just a car wash.
It's like a shower.
Because he's a car.
It's like when you go to the powder room and you just like, you freshen up.
No, it's not analogous to a human activity.
This is a car wash.
There's a fan symbol.
There's a bidet symbol. One of them looks like a toilet symbol.
One in the background right now.
So what did he, he just put something up Mater's butt?
No, it's just a magnet that went onto his, onto his undercarriage.
Yeah, so that one's gonna lift.
But they, the bidet, they bidet the undercarriage. Yeah, so that one's gonna lift. But they, the bidet, they bidet the undercarriage.
They did, as if cars poop out of their back end.
Yeah, as opposed to...
Or like right underneath them.
Like an oil change, like maybe they, it comes out from their abdomen or something.
I guess, but you shouldn't need a big wash after that.
You only need a big wash if you take a poop.
The big wash is... Oh, he just farted! He farted? He had a big wash after that. You only need a big wash if you take a poop. The big wash is also- Oh, he just farted.
He farted?
He had a big fart.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, he also, I can't keep, they have no clothes.
Cars don't need clothes.
They have a naked skeleton.
Naked cars, yes.
They are, they are both, they're like bugs.
Yeah.
Ooh. Oh. All right.
She loves Mater.
She wants to kiss him.
Their eyes.
They just have one eye.
They have something like the hedgehog eyes.
Yeah, one eye with two pupils.
Nine.
And the pupils and I suppose like the hole in the pupil is free-floating as well.
Because they can be farther away from each other.
Uh-huh, yeah they can move around.
Uh-oh. Oh, gosh.
So this guy, uh-oh.
It is evil green energy.
They're gassing him up.
They're gassing him up.
So they need fuel.
Mm-hmm.
From in their gas tank.
Is food just for fun, or is food for a different function of their body?
I don't know.
I guess it's for fun.
Oh, so he's got the electromagnetic pulse.
They're gonna blow him up?
They're gonna blow him up.
This is a very violent movie.
Yeah, don't use green energy, because your car will blow up.
Yeah, this is a mixed message here.
Be careful. Evil cars with electromagnetic guns.
This guy's got a mouth on him.
Uh-oh. So you're gonna pop?
Oh, I thought that was a camera.
Oh, it's a camera. It's supposed to look like this.
It looks like a... You got fooled by his was a camera. Oh, it's a camera. It's supposed to look like a camera. It looks like a camera.
You got fooled by a dastardly plot-san.
And then?
Is that how death happens?
Wait!
You can replace your engine block. So that's not where your soul resides no
Replace what?
What is the part of the car that is the cars the car?
Behind the windows I think their brain resides
Yeah, cuz you can't get into a car
No, can you get into a car. No.
Can you get into a car?
You can see through them.
Oh no.
What's gonna happen?
Oh! What?
Just, you know, normal murder. Nasty little film.
Normal Pixar murder.
So you can replace an engine block.
Mm-hmm.
But you can't replace...
Whatever just happened.
Whatever just happened, an explosion.
Where they let- I guess that's true.
You can replace a kidney,
but if your whole body kinda melts inside,
and you can't do that.
Yeah.
It wasn't treated with the same weight
as replacing a kidney though, it just seemed,
it's not like an invasive surgery.
Right.
This is fun. So...
Yes.
I thought your son refused to watch Cars 2.
He did for a while and then he changed his mind.
He was at his cousin's house and they were like, let's watch Cars 2.
And he was like, oh, of course, because my grown-up cousins want to.
Not my stupid dad, who I hate.
Do you still have to tell them that they're YouTube videos instead of movies?
Or is that just a brief thing?
That worked for Encanto, but that's the only time I've done it.
He gets that it's different though, and he's like, I want to watch normal YouTube.
I'm like, what's normal YouTube?
And he's like, you know, marbles.
I got my dad watching marble races over Christmas break.
Yeah. They were into it.
All right. It's time for sports.
You all look very different from each other.
I wouldn't. Well, speed meditation.
He is speed.
Speed meditation he is speed. Oh
Yeah, sure, yeah, mm-hmm so special
Okay, All right. Sam, what do you have for us in terms of commentary and such?
Because this is going to be, I think, a car race now.
That's going to be racing for a long time.
There's going to be racing for a long time.
Not a lot of plot development in the near term.
Okay.
Well, what do I have?
I have a poem about cars. Do you want to hear that poem?
Yeah, please. I love that.
I didn't write it, first of all. I just searched for car poems. Here it comes. Okay.
Five Little Cars by Sue Ehlers and Mary Marshall. One little car going to the zoo met another car, then there were two.
Two little cars driving by the sea, one drove up from the beach, then there were three.
Three little cars driving by the store, another pulled out, then there were four.
Four little cars out for a drive, another car joined them, then there were five."
That was the car poem that I found.
Did you like it?
Are you sure that wasn't just a children's book?
No, it just was written on a piece of paper on Google Images.
Oh, nice.
All right.
So we're just stealing someone's property.
Yeah.
Well, I credit them.
Sue Eilers and Mary Marshall. OK.
Whoo.
McQueen loves these
wiggly things.
And I think Cary did look up some stuff about cars.
Right?
I did look up the definition of cars
and the etymology, in fact.
But I don't know how useful this will be
because I don't know if we can define these cars
the same way.
Yeah, these are definitely different cars
and they named themselves an entirely different way.
And their language cars just means the people.
Yes. Yeah.
So are they, yeah.
But in our world, a car or automobile
is any motor vehicle with wheels.
And most people agree that they're used for transportation,
mostly run on roads, seat people have four wheels.
So like a truck is not a car, a boat is not a car.
Seat people is important, huh?
Yeah, seating people is important.
All right, so they're doing some, the Alanol work here, blowing up cars for some reason.
They're gonna kill Mater.
Finally, somebody's gonna do it.
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
No, that's okay, very important.
And so none of these are cars, by our definition of cars,
because they don't really transport people,
they transport themselves.
Yes, well, then do they transport people?
I guess maybe, I guess I'm not a car,
because I transport myself.
Yeah.
You carry your son around,
are you a car when you're doing that?
My guess for a definition of a car in this world
would be a wheeled motor vehicle.
Mm, are they?
I guess they are a motor vehicle. Yeah, anything with a... I guess they are a motor vehicle.
Yeah, anything with a... I guess...
Not necessarily wheel. Any sort of vehicle,
I feel like, has the ability to be a car.
And planes and boats are subsets of cars in this universe.
They have to have a mouth and eyes.
And an orifice for waste. and an orifice for gas, which is maybe this food, but not taste, because their mouth is where taste happens.
Okay.
And that's all?
And they have to be feeling, thinking beings.
Yeah. That have emotions and can communicate
and build buildings, but not cars.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, they don't.
They might fill cars in their bellies.
We still don't have it
in the reproduction aspect.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They can refurbish each other,
which I guess makes sense
because doctors can fix other
humans.
Sure.
Yeah.
But unsure about how all these cars came to be, because there aren't a lot of car children
around.
There are not a lot of car children.
So maybe it's really a rare occurrence.
It's a miracle, baby, when everyone's born.
How long do cars live?
So we know the Paul Newman car died of theoretically just car cancer or something.
And so they can die, but maybe he was like 500 years old. So you don't have to have a
lot of babies.
Yeah, I guess we don't know what year it is in this.
Oh, it's definitely not a like, it could be. So there were dinosaurs, they were wiped out, there were fossil fuels, so it's definitely been millions of years since then.
But like, the car civilization could have been around for 20,000 years. Like, all these buildings around and these roads.
Maybe every year, there's like a big factory where all the cars come from. Every year, the big door opens, all the little cars drive out, the little baby cars.
That's the 2022 birth of cars.
And they just drive out and you can stand there
and adopt a baby car and raise it and help it find its way.
And they grow up to a certain age.
Then after that, they live forever
until they're smashed up or something.
But there is no,
and they don't even know where they come from.
They just come out of this factory.
Another meteor hits just right in the factory every year.
And more little baby cars roll out.
All of the carcels that have been floating around after this guy murders them are put
into new baby car bodies.
He just killed a bunch more guys, huh?
He did. Yeah.
He squished one, I think.
Yeah. I wasn't paying attention.
I was thinking about my theory.
He didn't, nobody got shot, which is interesting.
So people weren't allowed to get shot in this movie,
but they are allowed to get killed in other ways.
And to almost be shot.
Oh yeah. Close to shot. That's for sure, fine. I bet you could shoot one of their wheels out to almost be shot. Oh yeah, that's for sure fine.
I bet you could shoot one of their wheels out.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, probably yeah.
As long as...
I don't know, we'll see. It hasn't happened yet.
Did this guy win?
Uh oh.
My guess is yes.
Viewer, if you know if this guy wins, please comment so we know.
I wonder what all these things say in Japanese.
I hope they say stuff and they're not fake.
Just like random collections of characters.
Mater.
Mater. They're gonna be so mad at each other
They have eye color which is interesting mater's eyes are green lightning's eyes are blue
Does he ever figure out what's going on? Mater?
Yeah.
Oh, well, look, one thing you know that's gonna happen is that everything's gonna turn
out okay.
Well, yeah, he's not gonna die.
Be interesting if he does.
Not just that, but they're gonna be closer friends at the end of it.
They're gonna go through this tumultuous time and at the end, everyone will have been vital.
And so currently, Lightning says,
I don't need or want your help, Mater.
By the end of the movie, he's going to need and want his help.
We know this for sure.
Okay, they're holding the camera.
It's like a little suction cup thing on their windows.
Yeah, they got suction cups on their windows
with like loops on them that they can plug stuff into.
But who puts it on them?
Who puts it on there?
They just like move up against it?
Just rub up against a suction cup?
And once they get the footage, how do they put it on a computer?
How do they edit it?
I don't know. They don't have arms.
I don't know what it is.
But they do have headphones.
They have headphones.
Apparently they have ears.
Yeah.
Their ears are where their windows are.
Uh huh.
Which fits with the neck brace kind of thing.
That all makes sense now.
Yeah.
Oh.
They got their ears.
Go home.
Do you know the names of those people, Sam?
What?
All the, like his pictures.
Yeah. Oh, they got our ears. Go home. Do you know the names of those people, Sam?
What? All the like his pit team.
Luigi's one of them. Yeah, Luigi's the little guy.
Um, the bus is named Fillmore.
Oh, the Jeep is named. I don't know. I don't remember the Jeep's name. His wife's name's Sally.
All of the, uh, his yeah I was just wondering why the... What? Oh.
Oh, this is that guy, but he's got a paint job.
Oh, yeah.
That's Finn McMissle.
Oh, he just popped a little thingy down.
What's that?
A robot. That's not a car.
It's not a car. And not alive.
It's not alive.
It can move around, but not on its own. A robot. That's not a car. It's not a car. It's not alive.
It's not alive.
No.
It can move around, but not on its own.
As soon as you gave it the ability to move itself, it would grow eyes and a mouth.
Yep.
And it would be like, hello, I am observing the universe.
I have thoughts now.
Another thing we haven't discussed is Mater's teeth.
No other car, I think, has teeth that we've seen.
No, other cars have teeth for sure.
Do they?
They're just kind of like a white strip.
I think that there's a strong vibe of like,
the more upper class you are,
the fewer, the less teeth you have.
Yeah, this Grimlin coming up to him, he's got some teeth missing. Uh, upper class you are the fewer, the less teeth you have.
Yeah. This, this gremlin coming up to him, he's got some teeth missing and he's like a
lackey.
Yeah.
So you're right.
Hmm.
Oh, that made her so slippery.
Is that thing alive?
That thing's alive.
They're alive.
Of course, of course. Everything
we see is alive. Not the cones. Not the building. Not that whole building. And the buildings
must be so, so much bigger in this universe. Yeah, they're all just very big. Either that,
or as I say, the cars are just not normal sized cars. They're teeny tiny. Yeah, they're
not. Is that all that? That one must be, that one should be alive, but it's that one that has to have eyes
Are those a lot are the missiles alive that would be fun
No, I don't
Yeah, oh Yeah. Oh. Wow, Morgan. Wow, Mater is powerful. I guess tugboats are, you know, he's like a car version of a tugboat. Yeah.
Go, boy.
Go, boy.
Go.
Slow down the plane.
Mater, stop talking.
Oh, Mater.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Mater, stop talking.
Oh, Mater. Oh no.
Shot a wheel.
Yeah, shot a wheel.
Yeah, wheels can get shot.
You were right, Sam.
That's allowed.
Oh, you don't want to be on the wrong runway.
That is very dangerous.
Stop having guns.
This makes me uncomfortable.
So many guns.
What do you think when you watch,
like when Orin watched this, were you like, I wish there... Oh, that's their poop. That makes me uncomfortable. So many guns. What do you think when you watch, like, when Orin watched this,
were you like, I wish there...
Oh, that's their poop.
That's their poop. Lavatory services. You're right.
Yeah. So they...
OK, this is an amazing piece of insight that we just got very briefly.
They shit oil for real.
Yeah. So when that guy was oil slicking in the beginning, he really was pooping.
He was having diarrhea all over the oil rig.
Yeah, all over the oil rig and in the water.
And in the water afterward, yeah.
Aye, they again are cowards not showing us how he wrote this letter.
It's possible though.
Imagine with a suction-cupped pencil, but...
Yeah, it is a pencil suction cupped to his rusty bucket.
Yeah.
What were the other jokes?
Not gonna tell us the other jokes.
They didn't make the cut.
They didn't make the cut. They didn't make the cut.
It's gonna be hard to land with one of your wheels off.
Okay, that's a hand.
Yeah.
But she's special.
She's like a 007 car.
Here's their using a computer.
This is how they use computers. Okay, what's she typing with though?
There's so many buttons though. And how are you doing it? Yeah
Just kind of wiggled. Oh
Yeah, she wiggled. Well, yeah, she's controlling this little thing with her little joystick with her wheel
Why though? Why don't they just drive around?
Necessary ooh rave
What's that what are we looking at the inside of a car yeah
Electrical system
All right, I just like the fact that we're seeing on the inside of a car, we're like, shush!
I now gotta learn!
This could mean anything!
They eat pistachio ice cream, because he knew what that was, and they shit out oil.
Which is...
No, it was wasabi, obviously.
Well, yeah, but you thought it was wasabi, obviously.
Well, yeah, but you thought it was pistachio ice cream.
So he must have had pistachio ice cream before.
Yes, that's true.
He's familiar with it.
He knows what a pistachio trees exist.
35,000 cards were made.
Okay.
I mean, I don't think you have to have pistachios to have pistachio ice cream.
No.
To have pistachios to have pistachio ice cream. No.
I kind of feel like having pistachios would make the existence of pistachio ice cream
seem a little weirder even.
It's a weird ice cream flavor.
It's very weird.
It's good.
But like it doesn't taste like pistachios to me.
No.
He's figuring it out.
Mater's figuring out everything because he's such a good mechanic.
Yeah, he's like the best surgeon in the world.
Yeah, right?
He's not like a mechanic. He's a...
He saves lives.
Yeah.
Keeps everybody running.
Maybe I got Mater all wrong.
He's just a doctor.
He's just a doctor.
These are really creepy though. They're so textured.
That's your fault for caring about that, Sam.
You gotta look past the teeth.
Look at him.
There's a mater, like, that drives around Disneyland and talks to you,
and his teeth are even more textured, and it's truly disturbing.
So they still think that he's a double agent,
and they don't know that the actual American
agent has been murdered.
He is dead.
They had a bunch of, oh no I want to go back, there was a liquor cabinet in the back and
it had a bunch of stuff in it.
And I think it might have just been motor oil.
I can't go back.
You can't go back?
I wish I could.
I mean I can, but that would mess it up for everybody.
That's illegal on movie commentaries.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's not how it works.
There's the, okay, they have a move.
Those are pigeons.
The little planes were pigeons.
They were little plane pigeons.
So we know how they did that.
So the planes that they're flying around in evolved.
They weren't built to transport cars.
They're like giant horses that fly.
Antaq.
That you can get inside of.
Yep.
I haven't seen this part of the movie.
I was never here for this part.
Oh my gosh.
What are they selling?
It's a black market.
Deconstructed black.
Yeah.
Just body parts.
Harrowing.
Harrowing.
Awful.
He seems way too excited to be in this.
He does need a new hood.
He's lost it.
Hoooo! Ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
What?
Headlight eyes.
She was a corpse.
What was that?
I could see, I could see through her.
The sides.
Usually you can't see through the windows,
because there are brains in there.
But I think you could see through her windows.
I wanted to come back.
Oh my god.
Yeah, her eyes were headlights for some reason.
Yeah, that's true too.
Unlike every other person.
Her eyes were headlights.
They weren't in her head.
What the hell?
There is some kind of very bad zombie.
That's why she was so scary.
Yeah, she's a Frankenstein monster in this world, I think.
Like real black market experiment there.
Gosh, that also seems like a very important scene
in Cars' history.
It's feet.
Just the feet.
Hit the feet stand.
What wrong?
She's gonna kill him.
Execution style. This is a bad design for a car.
What?
Are you gonna torture him? Do not torture in a Cars movie.
I mean, they've done a lot in this Cars movie, it feels like. This is very violent.
They're on the same side.
Okay. Extrajudicial. Oh, they're on the same side. Oh, okay. And they're all operating outside of the realm of traditional law, right?
Yeah.
And there are laws, because there are car police.
Yeah.
But they are-
So if they're caught, they'd be disavowed by their governments and executed by the country
that they were arrested in, I'd imagine. Yeah, yeah.
Mmm.
Hmm.
Ooh. I don't know if I like the implications of that.
There are a number of troubling implications that do get outlined by the assumption of cars.
Yeah, it's like it feels like, you know, it's like, oh, this movie is so crazy.
It's for kids. But this one really is like crazy.
You can't think about this one for like more than two seconds without being like, what?
Well, I mean, no one does, though, because you're not supposed to.
It doesn't ask you to.
We're sitting here being like,
how does a mustache work on a car?
I don't know, I feel like this one,
more than other ones, does demand questions to be asked.
Yeah.
It's so in your face with it.
And people made these decisions at some point.
So someone had to come up with these characters' designs,
come up with the rules of the car world. Train is alive. What is alive and what's not alive?
Traffic lights not alive, train's alive. Where's the computer? How do you hit the button?
How do you hit the button? Mater's got a hook, that's as good as he can do. And teeth.
I do think it is kind of interesting that they find ways to camouflage any of these
actions that wouldn't make any sense, because they probably multiple times were just
like, uh, how though?
With their tongue? I don't know.
Just don't show it. Just have the cameras clicking in the background.
Just have like human hands come out from under the hood and go
and then slime back in.
Like one single hand comes out of the hood.
It's just like the size of the whole car.
Type type type type type.
Yeah.
Oh no.
They shake hands with each other when they meet.
Mater was there?
No.
No, she just Photoshopped him in.
Oh, she Photoshopped him in and made him blue.
I see. I see. I see. No. No, she just photoshopped him in. Oh, she photoshopped him in and made him blue.
I see, I see, I see.
Okay, there's a statue.
They have art of cars.
Yeah, that's a famous car.
And how do they sculpt it?
It's maybe a god.
We don't know.
It's maybe like the, what's that guy's called?
His name's, he lives in Atlantis.
Poseidon? Yeah, that's Poseidon car
Your home Luigi, I love you
This is fun, they're drinking oil they're drinking oil
Oh But yeah, it's like that's like They're drinking oil. They're drinking oil. They're drinking oil?
Oh, but yeah, it's like, that's like,
okay, that's weird.
Like, you could do that as a...
That has calories and you can burn it.
I don't know what to do with this information.
No.
It's being overwhelming.
And it's also the same thing they poop. Well, that makes sense at least.
Like, yeah, it goes just in their body.
It goes in and comes out. Like, they use it,
and it comes out dirtier.
Data and Star Trek can eat food,
and he just does it recreationally.
Yeah, I think he just has like a little pouch that holds it,
and then he empties it out.
The implication of sushi is that there's fish.
That they cut up and eat.
That's a great point.
That are not little cars like the little plane pigeons.
Well, no, I think the implication would be,
you have, you catch a fish, it's a little submarine,
you cut the fish open and inside it has fish guts,
like fish pieces that you can make into sushi.
And that implies that behind the windshield of the car cars
There's goo.
is meat.
It's meat, yeah.
There's goo in there.
Brains and muscles and like nerves.
Yeah, there are parts of them that are metal and engines,
like you can replace an engine block, no problem.
That's metal.
But whatever is happening behind the windows, because this is why you can't an engine block, no problem. That's metal. But whatever's happening behind the windows,
and this is why you can't see into the car.
Yeah.
Because there's just blood and guts in there.
And so when that American spy was fried,
there was-
They had some cleaning up to do.
There was flesh in there.
Yeah.
Or like a bug, it could be like one chamber full of fluid,
so they don't have to have a vascular system necessarily.
It could just be like, everything's kind of floating in there.
I mean, we thought the interesting question was whether cars drink.
It's become much more vital to me whether or not cars are full of meat and blood.
Grain or not.
Yeah.
Ooh, nice.
Hey, look, his teeth are nice.
Yeah, he looks much cuter. Ooh, nice. Hey, look, his teeth are nice.
His teeth?
He looks much cute.
Materhosen.
Vampires exist in this world.
What's the-
But they want to siphon your gas.
Yeah.
So they don't have blood, they have gasoline.
They have gas.
So they drink blood.
All cars are vampires, basically.
They all drink oil and you can siphon each other's oil
before you poop it out.
Gas and oil are not the same thing,
Sari, who's never seen a car.
Uh-oh.
He's clipping.
What does that mean?
Ooh, hey, ooh, hey.
Yeah, fix it.
That's right.
No, you didn't.
You guys met like three years ago.
Yeah, I don't remember that long.
You're a liar.
You've invented a rich inner history that is not reality.
Why they have rear view mirrors, huh?
What about that?
What, why?
So they can look behind them. He can't look in his own rear view mirrors, huh? What about that? What, why? So they can look behind them.
He can't look in his own rear view mirrors,
so Mater can't.
Just so I can look behind him.
Yeah.
Guns!
Are they ears?
They're not ears because that's not
where they wear their headphones.
No, that's not.
Wow, this place looks awesome.
And those boats just have to sit there and be bored.
Are the sailboats alive?
Are the sailboats alive?
Do they have to have an engine to be alive?
Someone show me a sailboat.
It's gotta be alive, cause it's a vehicle.
This place is cool.
So cool.
That's not a sailboat, that's a yacht.
That's a regular boat.
Definitely alive.
It's got an engine.
Okay, come on.
Yachts, yachts, yachts, yachts, yachts. What are those?
The boats.
I don't know, were they jet skis, I think, maybe?
No, I think they were like little like floating islands.
I think the pope was there.
Riding in a car. So cars can be in cars. I guess we need that already.
We need that, yeah.
He was riding in the pope mobile.
There's organized religion. That is surprisingly similar to human organized religion.
No, it's all exactly the same.
Every event in human history.
Yes.
Everything that happened in our history
happened in Cars history.
There's a World War II Jeep as one of the main characters.
So World War II must happen.
Okay, excuse me.
Sari, remember the universe is infinite.
So this actually happens. This is real somewhere
This is a documentary yeah as is every single movie
Pope wow
Wow, why are you worried? Well, I I missed why he's worried. I think he misses his wife.
I think he misses-
Or he misses Mater.
Mater?
He misses his wife.
I wonder what 51237, what the significance of this is.
I also wonder.
It's certainly not a bow tie.
No.
Whose thing is what now?
It's Fillmore 51237.
He's got a little, his name tag.
The hidden meanings behind license plates.
The license plate refers to the date May 12th, 1937,
which is the birthday of the actor
who voiced Fillmore, George Carlin.
Except not in this movie, cause he was dead.
And they replaced him.
Also, weirdly, 51237 is the zip code for George, Iowa.
Which is just a coincidence.
Weird.
That was his mom.
So he has a mom, but it could be adopted, I suppose.
She was an older model of the same kind of car, though.
So they look genetically related
Yeah
But oh but like but your but your engine is all
Modifiable so like you can get a new engine in cars and be the same car you could get a whole new body
I don't I don't know if you can get a whole new body. Can you I don't know I
I don't know if you can get a whole new body, can you? I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know about that one.
You can definitely get a new engine,
which seems like if you can do that.
It's a real ship of Theseus kind of problem here.
Yes.
I like Mater's disguise, he looks cool.
Yeah.
Grandfather.
So yeah, there's definitely a lot of-
Multi-generational cars.
There's a lineage thing here.
Ivan.
That's it.
Is this Mater?
I think it's-
No.
No, it's not Mater.
They just look a lot the same.
She was just being very Mater-like, wasn't she?
Yeah.
Cause he wouldn't smooth out his bumps.
So he's not doing a disguise,
just kind of walk in like that?
I think so.
Seems fine.
Or he's not being allowed to walk in
because he's not disguising himself.
Right, right, okay. Oh.
Oh, that was harsh.
That was harsh. This is...
You don't want Michael Caine telling you that you're an idiot.
Oh, he did it. No. Oh, he did disguise himself. That would be... You don't want Michael Caine telling you that you're an idiot.
He did it.
No.
Oh, he did disguise himself.
That would be, that's like one of my worst nightmares, having Michael Caine tell me that.
Because it'd be impossible not to believe him.
Yeah.
What?
Oh, is this one of the lemons?
Here even.
Go.
Magging me light hair. This is car mafia, I think.
Yeah.
I don't really understand why they're all lemons.
I miss that.
Yeah, we were talking through the whole damn thing.
Wow. Very fun car race. Very fun. Well done, everyone. Wow, it's beautiful.
It does look like a world that would be fun to live in.
Well, yeah, except that, like, everybody would think you were some kind of weird pink soft
freak.
I would be a car.
I'd be a car in this situation.
How did he throw the dice?
Oh, they'd throw the fuzzy dice.
How did he throw them?
I wasn't watching.
It was, like, on his tie.
I was like, oh, my god.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm not necessarily. How'd he throw the dice? Oh, they throw the fuzzy dice.
How did he throw them?
I wasn't watching.
It was like on his tires.
I kinda like came out of under them.
Sometimes they like shove stuff with their tires.
Yeah.
How do you spin that roulette wheel?
Little car?
Oh, there's like a button.
Well, that one just did it.
I think there's a button on it.
That one just did it. I think there's a button on it. That one just did it.
All the countries are there.
They have countries.
They don't even have fun pun names for them no gosh
Real miss so many opportunities. It could be Czech engine Slovakia
I wasn't gonna make it a test
But check the Czechoslovakia doesn't exist in our world.
Oh, well, it does.
So this, when did it stop existing?
I don't know, like the 90s, I think.
Here we go.
The first Google of the thing.
That was your first Google?
I've been looking stuff.
I liked that who Paul Newman was.
It's 1990.
I'm a genius.
So this takes place in 1989.
I am too afraid to touch my computer
or else the stream will stop.
So I haven't been Googling stuff.
Yeah, you gotta rely on me.
Oh, wow.
The world, oh, so they got a chip on their shoulder
because...
This is a picture that they've been seeing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's the lemons are all mad
and they're at the lemon party. Oh, God, I said lemon party.
Oh, my God.
Don't say that.
Horrible.
At least it's buried in an hour into the commentary, so very few people hear it.
It's a lemon party.
It's a bunch of lemons.
They got lemons all over the table.
They have lemons everywhere.
There's no other way to describe what's happening right now.
It's a lemon banquet, perhaps.
But now people are going to be like, I don't know what that is, I'm going to Google it.
And now I have to tell you, don't do that.
Yeah.
If you're, yeah.
Just listen to Hank.
I don't even remember why.
I just know that it's a bad thing to do.
I remember why.
Everybody's going.
Okay.
Oh, they're blowing up them. Everybody's going. Okay. So they-
Oh, they're blowing up them.
The concept here is there are a group of cars
who have health problems and so are thought of as lesser
and they have gathered together
and have somehow become very powerful and wealthy
and are-
A kind of underground terrorist organization. Yeah
And it's just like oh
They're out in the open now
Oh and they own the gasoline and they own gas they own the old dirty gas
The old dinosaurs and they're so they're making the case
The old dinosaurs. And they're so they're making the case.
But the new clean gas makes your car explode.
The dinosaurs is a huge oversight by the cars people.
The fact that they're dinosaurs and that they're made out of meat
and they are not cars or any kind of vehicle from the past
breaks the whole universe.
Yeah, really, really.
And dinosaur cars would be the coolest thing.
Yeah.
And it would be so easy.
They'd just be like backhoes and stuff.
Yeah.
No.
But the picture of this dinosaur has legs.
Mm-hmm.
Nothing in the Cars universe has legs.
No.
If it did, it would be sent to jail.
It's illegal.
Oh no! A rail! A force field? Oh, it, a rail?
A force field?
Oh, it was a magnet.
It's a magnet.
So they're not made of chitin, is what we've discovered.
They're made of metal, yeah.
Unless the fundamental laws of physics in this part of the universe work differently.
Which they could.
Yeah.
Long live Lemons. Ooh, have you ever seen Speed Racer, the movie, Speed Racer?
Well, probably.
That was a long time.
Uh oh, you guys.
Uh oh, you guys.
Uh oh, you guys.
Oh jeez.
Oh.
Guys, slow down.
Don't you have like, lazy-os?
Yeah, they should have a pit crew that's telling them that this is happening.
At least none of them are dying.
They didn't, they just got a little bit of fuel in them, so they just exploded their
butts.
Well, they weren't able to give them the full power.
Yeah.
He'd catch you, Adam.
Oh.
Oh no, the ambulances. What cost a victory? He'd catch out him.
Oh no.
What cost?
What are the ambulances going to do to them?
No you have to go back to the ambulances.
Yeah we need to see this please.
Do they put them inside of them?
The ambulances should be tow trucks right?
Right.
How did they stack those lemons so nicely?
That's like a precarious...
They had their employees do it.
With their... with the hands underneath the...
It's taboo to show them to any other car, but they all have...
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's the thing. They all have hands.
It's just very, very sensual to see one.
I see, I see.
Yeah.
Look at this car with the powdered wig.
Oh, they just, so that's how they open up champagne bottles, so they'll show us that.
Was it with a forklift blade?
Yeah, they just whacked them with the forklifts.
But is it champagne or is it bubbly oil in there?
It must be bubbly oil.
It has to be be bubbly oil.
Has to be. Carbonated oil.
I'm gonna go to my soda stream right now
and put some olive oil in it and see what I can get out. Mm-hmm.
Ah, see?
Yeah, he is sad. He doesn't...
He's not thinking about his girlfriend at all. He's thinking about the... He's thinking about Mater.
Yeah.
Thinking about Serto, Mater, GR, or whatever.
What?
So they're trying to make the...
clean gas seem dangerous so that no one will want to use it.
Yeah, so they can use all their dirty gas.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, that was food.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's food.
And it's made out of something like pistachio ice cream implies the existence of organic
cattle.
That's true.
They're oil-based, like coconut-based ice cream.
I guess.
Like, they definitely have plants.
Like, there's no doubt in anybody's mind that there are regular organic plants on this planet.
Yeah.
They got lemons, they got trees, they got grass, they got all the normal plant stuff.
Mater's got guns now.
Come on.
That's a lot of guns.
Unacceptable.
Too many guns.
We've seen their version of cows and their big tractors.
Yep.
But there's other cows that make ice cream.
There's other cows.
Everything is just right behind where the camera's looking.
If you turn the other way, you'd see all this stuff.
Yeah.
They got...
Whoa!
Oh, no.
Whoa!
The little forklifts is very interesting,
because they're almost like another species of human.
They're like Denisovans.
They're like an underclass, like they all have very sort of like, uh, servie jobs.
Yeah.
I have been thinking that too.
It's kind of a cheat too because they do kind of have little arms.
So when they need something to poke something, they like, make a forklift.
They're like a different species of human being that has arms.
Turns out the whole society wouldn't work without them.
No, don't kill McQueen.
Excuse me.
Squeezy, squeezy, squeezy, squeezy, squeezy.
Where is he?
That's not me.
That's just Yvonne.
Gaslight and Lightning McQueen. Oh, did they get him?
Did they get Mater?
They got him.
Yeah, they did.
They got him.
And they duct-taped him.
They what-taped him?
They duct-taped him.
His mouth was taped shut.
Another gas unit?
Whoa, wow!
All right. They what taped him? They duct taped him. His mouth was taped shut.
Another gassy?
Whoa, wow!
This is a very violent movie.
It is.
He's dead.
This is the afterworld.
This is what happens.
His car soul is leaving his car meat.
He's back. He's part of the AllSpark again.
Seeing all the sins he ever committed.
Yeah, all of the cringiest moments in his cringe-dressed life.
But only from the last, like, couple days.
Yeah, that's just a very long list.
So we're only seeing the beginning.
Yeah. A cringe compilation. There he goes. Oh, yeah only seeing the beginning. Yep. Oh, there he goes!
Oh yeah, it was smart!
He licked it and he swallowed it.
We got to see it.
So they can eat food.
Now that's the only question that remains is, is there meat?
Because if there is meat, there is...
Yeah, you know at some point a car's door is gonna open,
there's gonna be nothing in there,
and then we're not gonna know what to do.
No, the car, the door is never open.
Somebody's door is gonna open.
We gotta go back and look at that lady with the eyes in the wrong place.
Right.
She's the key to all this.
Yeah, with the transparent windows, she is.
She's like key to all this. Yeah, with the transparent windows. She is.
She's like the exception.
Very intricately built clock tower.
How?
How again?
Oh, no.
Big Brinkley.
Big Brinkley.
Big Brinkley.
Oh, Big Brinkley.
Like the car.
Because Brinkley. Big Bentley.
Ah, big Bentley.
Like the car.
It's a car type.
But it's still just plain old England.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
I'm just a mechanic. I'm just one of the most sophisticated doctors in the entire universe.
Just a genius with a complete encyclopedic knowledge of every piece of inside of our
species.
It is all his fault though.
It's true, yeah.
All of that stuff was bad except for the part where it is all your fault.
He's just feeling sorry for himself really too.
Oh no. Wait, what? There was Latin? He's just feeling sorry for him, so I'm sorry too.
Oh no. Wait, what? There was Latin?
They got Latin. Mm hmm. This clock has some big ears.
Oh, no.
Wow. Guys got good paint jobs.
They didn't all have to come.
What if Mater comes back?
What if he really is gone?
It's just on his way back to town. I read a piece of trivia that there's three races in this movie, but there were supposed
to be five.
This movie would be so long and boring if there were five.
I would have had to really cram them in.
Yeah.
Everything, every piece of action would have to be cut back and forth between a race.
Wait, was that it?
There was a royal of some kind there.
I think it was the queen.
The queen, yeah, the queen is here in attendance.
OK.
As she surely is at all races.
At all of the main races. Good, great. Some. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Good, great.
There's some more, some more Latin.
Big Ben.
Oh, it's Big Ben, where the, where the thing is.
It's Big Bentley.
Come on, get it right.
Sorry, thanks.
They're, oh, they're gonna zap him,
but he's gonna do something, something's good, something's gonna happen But he's gonna do something. Something's gonna happen.
Something's gonna happen.
He's gonna ca-chow.
Oh.
What?
He was okay.
I'm trying to read what it says back in the background here.
The Royal Interchange.
This clock was made in, I guess it's probably just what it says in Big Ben.
It's important to know where it's made though.
Hmm.
You can kind of see through the back windows of this guy.
Well, it has like the earpiece is definitely on his front window, so that's the ear.
That's where the headphones have been.
That's where this earpiece is.
What's that call when you hear with vibrate,
like the thing like vibrates here?
Oh, on your jawbone?
Instead of actually making sound?
Yeah.
What is happening?
He's using his chain guns.
Right.
1854.
It says it's 1854.
Big Ben was made in 1854 in their universe and in ours.
So timelines are lining up.
I don't know how it's possible, but what happened happened.
Were there cars around in 1854?
In the Cars universe there were.
In real universe though?
Yes, but I think fairly recently.
But there are also cars that have done cave paintings, so.
Maybe there weren't. 1886 was the first car. I was wrong.
1986 was the first car. I was wrong.
Lol lol
All right, well, why didn't they take your weapons away? Yeah
Very close. Oh, oh my goodness. Don't crush this beautiful beautiful
Yeah, I'm gonna look at uh, I'm gonna look up some some Holly shift well extended universe fiction I
Gotta know more about yeah. Oh no no you did you got I gotta stop it
Wait, oh I see all right
Free whoo-hoo. He said burn rubber. So their tires are not made of anything. No, that's rubber
No No. Uh. That was so easy. What's the analog to humans there? What was he? Oh.
Miss Shiftwell.
You're a plane now.
Confuses us.
Oh, wow.
He's here. You're a plane now. Confuse us. Oh wow.
He's here.
No.
Wait, wait, what? Listen to him. Who's texting me?
No.
It's C4! Oh, jeez! That's a real kind of bomb and everything!
Aww!
Oh, you guys. He's gonna push the button. Oh, jeez!
Oh, Mater...
No, god, I don't want either of them to explode. This is very...
Now I'm concerned no longer with the insides of their bodies, but with't want either of them to explode. This is very, now I'm concerned no longer
with the insides of their bodies,
but with the plight of their future.
There's the queen.
Watching the whole race.
There's a Cars 3 and both of these characters are in it.
So.
Oh, thanks for ruining everything for me.
Uh-huh, Yeah. Oh my god
Just lightning now you're stupider than mater
No
Oh wait, I forgot about that.
Aha.
What a sad technological flaw.
You should have used cell signals.
Whoa. That's not going convenient. Wow, the world has car wheels. Do you think that's a real representation of the Earth?
Of course it is.
Yes, absolutely.
The Earth spins around, and on four of its corners,
it's spinning around.
It's spinning around.
It's spinning around.
It's spinning around.
It's spinning around.
It's spinning around. world has car wheels. Do you think that's a real representation of the Earth? Of course it is.
Yes, absolutely.
The Earth spins around, and on four of its corners,
it has little car wheels.
It's tooting around on a big galactic highway around the sun.
Oh my gosh, boovy.
Yeah, it's going forever, huh?
It still goes. It is making me want to play video games, though.
Yeah.
It looks fun.
I want to drive a little car around.
Oh, it does have a mouth.
The Simpsons hit and run.
Oh, yeah, that would be a good one.
It's a very Simpsons hit and run feel.
His license plate says bad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No choice.
Unless it's a vanity plate.
Yeah.
Luigi's license plate is the latitude and longitude of a major Ferrari manufacturing
plant in Italy.
Wow, they had a lot of fun with this movie, didn't they?
They sure did.
Oh no, that was kind of gross. He pulled a missile right out of his orifice. What does Finn's license plate mean?
Who's Finn? The secret agent guy. Finn Rocketman or whatever. It was like FM FM something. I don't have it. It's not in this article. 314 FM CM.
Yes, bombs.
Oh, he's gonna kill this freaking boat.
What?
The boat died.
The boat definitely died.
That is a...
We just witnessed the end of a life.
We've put in so many murders.
It's got a lot of murders.
Michael Caine's birthday is March 14th and FMCM is Finn McMissle.
Finn McMissle.
There we go.
Michael Caine was born on Pi Day.
Look at that.
What a legend.
He was born on your birthdays, eh, Sid?
Pi Day, 314.
Oh, Pi Day.
Why?
Oh, okay.
That sign says oil tea.
Not really like a very fun joke or anything.
But it confirms that it was definitely oil champagne. Like it wasn't regular. Everything
is oil.
This is tire iron straight.
Uh oh.
Torture him. Oh
Torture him and and you can't take it out of yourself because you don't you can't take your hands out of your body right now Because there's people watching. Mm-hmm
Wait said again
Well, if Mater could just use his hands right now, then he could take the bomb out himself
But he can't because it's taboo. He's too embarrassed. Yeah
He'd be in jail with all the leg leg it animals. Yeah
Oil tea, wow, that's really what I so you drink special flavored oil
Hmm well it would help though
Everybody's got a gun
Wow that was cool all your wheels got taken off. Yeah, I cut off your
All your wheels got taken off. Yeah, I cut off your legs.
I got off.
When does Mater go to like martial arts class?
Ooh, got painted.
How? What the heck was that?
One of those guys had a paint gun.
Hmm.
Oh, here's the real military.
The real hero. OK, who's holding the drip?
Luigi!
It's Luigi!
He can do anything!
Yeah.
We gotta write off anything we see those guys do, because they're cheating.
Die.
I have to die.
Goodbye.
Gastronomy, fine dining.
So Diney, so taste, just for the taste.
Just for the taste, go and have your oil tea.
It's like boba, but it's got petroleum in it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know you know.
You're the bomb-mater.
Oh my god, lightning.
Alright, they got him.
They got the bad guy that looks like my professor.
Alright, good.
What is he gonna do?
I don't know.
He's figured something out that I haven't figured out.

I got a top of the monarchy. Yeah
I've got a bomb
Oh
Hey, buddy's got guns in their wheels. I don't like these every car's got a gun
Somebody was like one of these cars has to have a gun and then by the end of the movie they're like, every car has a gun. Every car has a gun.
Look at that big hat that one car has.
Not him. Those guys. The policemen.
Yeah, they got big hats. I think They're the only ones with hats that big.
They had p- oh, hats that big, yeah.
Yeah, everybody else has it, like, cutely integrated into their design, but...
They just have big hats on them.
It is that. It is that.
The regular hats of English police placed on top of cars.
It makes me think every one of these cars is, like, the size of a human head.
Wait, what just happened?
Did he just pee?
Oh, that happened earlier.
I was looking at the cats.
It happened earlier he peed.
Uh oh.
Mayer's a genius.
Oh, that's the prince.
Who would that be?
Which one are you?
The lorry's crazy. He's got a voice. He could do it
Yeah, you knew it you called his bluff
Look at this shitty and you weren't even electric this whole time. Embarrassing.
They can get a new body then I guess maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That sounded like just smack in an inner tube.
Yeah.
Oh.
Big ass guns.
And really big guns with bayonets.
They have big machine guns.
Oh my gosh.
This must be where he becomes knight.
You weren't joking, Sam.
He does get knighted.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wasn't joking.
He's Sir Mater.
KG.
All right.
What are you going gonna do with that? What are you gonna do with that? Oh
Yeah, you are they're like how are we gonna do this? How are we gonna do how are we gonna have a sword? That was so worth it.
I do love how this little town looks.
So if their brains and bodies are on the inside, why do they have doors?
Maybe that's something to do with how the sex happens?
Maybe.
Or it's just like cracks in the shell.
I thought of this joke that I've written down
but hadn't been able to make.
Carcinization, like you know how everything
convergent evolves into crabs?
They convergently evolve into cars.
Yeah, so they started out dinosaurs.
Yeah.
But it happens to be the best body shape for any organism.
Their scales just kinda, I don't know.
I'm really glad you wrote that down, Sari.
Thank you.
I'm glad you worked it in.
By saying, I wasn't able to work this in, but.
The movie's clearly wrapping up now.
And then there's the joke that's just you saying, carcinization.
That was the joke.
This is what the patrons get.
She learned.
No, I don't want it fixed.
No, she likes, wants to keep her dents.
That's right.
I keep all the dents in my car too, not because they're valuable, but because I don't why
do why do I care?
Yeah.
Oh. Oh
Mmm Wow, all right. Wow. I don't know how I feel about that guy doing an impression of George Carlin
No, he was really bad
Not a fan of that I was like why just change the voice-up. Yeah, I'm sorry but yeah
I think the world's fastest car is probably going to be the F1 car, not the NASCAR.
Like, it's just not comparable.
Wait, I want to see what this relationship is like.
Nothing.
What about NASCAR?
I'm just saying that F1 cars, Formula 1 cars are much faster than NASCAR cars.
So like, Bernoulli's gonna be much faster than Lightning McQueen.
Did you see his bumper sticker just now, Hank?
Yeah, his bumper sticker.
It said Ka-chow. Ka-chow, like you said earlier.
It just took them this long to make it.
Nice, nice. Okay.
They had to be friends before they could do it.
The Cars Riders know what they're doing, Hank. Don't second guess them.
This one doesn't have headlights, which is upsetting.
They're very tiny.
I don't like it.
It makes me very uncomfortable.
It's like little pine nipples.
Yeah.
Face nipples.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Are the Cars mammals?
Do they drink breast milk?
Only one way to find out, everybody.
Watch Cars 3.
We have to go to the Cars world.
We have to make a Cars baby and go to the Cars world.
Elon Musk wants to go to Mars.
Hank Green wants to go to Cars world.
Yes.
To Cars.
Yeah.
Uh-oh, she got a phone call.
Oh, wow, vertical takeoff and landing.
I feel like that would have come in handy when he was trying to catch him on the runway. Right?
Yeah.
Could have been other times to use that skill.
And if you'd only keep that disguise on all the time, we would actually be attracted to
you. And if you'd only keep that disguise on all the time, we would actually be attracted to you
Wow She's never coming back. Yeah, so we just lean into that ultra American trope of the
Ugly hit guy and his beautiful girlfriend. Mm-hmm
So does he still have his chain guns?
Hahaha!
Ooh!
Wow.
That's not safe.
And this poor guy, he's trying to escape this town, but he only gets like, there.
Mater is the fastest car on Earth now.
Oh my god, I hate this movie. Oh. Mater is the fastest car on Earth now.
Oh my God, I hate this movie.
But they took away my guns, thank God.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow!
Ka-chow.
That's not what the earth looks like, it has wheels.
No, they're wrong, they're wrong.
The Tims are still the Tims.
Could have been the rims, spelled funny.
The rims are H-A-M-E-S.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, well that's, you know,
that's gonna be the situation with any Cars movie,
especially one that has about 35 murders
and a lot of gunfire.
With gun violence, yeah.
Well, should we watch Time Travel Mater real quick?
I think we should watch Time Travel Mater real quick,
see if it adds anything, but I think we've got it figured out
Travel made her had a picture of mater
With old-timey cars, so I think we're gonna learn a lot of weird things. Yeah
Time travel made her here. It is you can find this also on your Disney Plus
application So start searching Here it is. You can find this also on your Disney Plus application.
So start searching. Yeah, start searching and sync with Sam.
Now, Sari and I will just watch these postcards
from all over. Is it still going for you?
Oh yeah. Yeah, from Italy.
Now we're in Italy.
Call Sam Maternistic. And Materfix the Apple Tower.
The Leaning Tower.
Leaning Tower, that's the- Oh, there's post credit stuff.
Huh. Oh no, I shouldn't talk. Made her fix the Eiffel Tower. The Leaning Tower. Leaning Tower, that's the- Oh, there's post credits stuff, huh?
Oh no, I shouldn't talk.
That's probably the most embarrassing thing I've said.
What did she say, what did you say?
She just called the Leaning Tower a piece of the Eiffel Tower.
I don't know how to watch it now.
Russian-
I'm gonna send you this link to Time Travel.
Oh, I don't like that.
The Russian dolls of now. Russian. I'm going to send you this link to time travel. Oh, I don't like that. The Russian dolls of cars.
Yeah.
Earmuffs.
Earmuffs covering up their windows.
There's something biological there because they're trying to keep them warm.
Yeah.
No, I'm missing it.
I'm missing it.
I can't believe it's still playing for you guys.
Oh, we're group watching or whatever it is.
So no matter if you're messing around, we can't stop enjoying the Disney experience.
All right.
Here's the link to the time travel meter.
Aren't you gonna give us the link?
Where in the Zoom?
Okay.
Oh, well, these little plane birds
are flapping their wings, but I don't know.
They are, I'm missing flapping.
No.
Flapping their wings, but I don't know. They are.
I'm missing flapping.
No.
No.
All right, who's joining?
Profile.
It's me.
Hello, Profile.
I am Profile.
I gotta try again.
I'm a little robot man.
I'm so excited to eat more food after this is over.
Me too, I'm starving.
This was exhausting.
I'm in between desks right now too.
So I'm standing up at the standing desk.
I know, you've been standing the whole time.
I'm tired. I'm tired.
Okay, I'm here.
Okay, I've pushed. Oh, stop.
You both are just profile.
I know, I know.
Neither of us have done anything at all to...
Why share with multiple other people? So we gotta have profiles.
All right, so pull up time travel Mater.
Everybody.
We're at zero, zero, zero, zero, zero.
Three, two, one, play.
Can you see it?
I can.
Got it.
Pixar lamp guy squished the eye. Yep. A car's tune.
It's a car's tune.
Mater's Tall Tales.
Well does that mean, does this imply that it's fake?
Yeah, that means it's a lie.
So you're just gonna mix stuff up?
So we don't need to know anything, right?
Well I don't, well, but it could be informed by real history.
Must be.
Oh, Stanley.
She's the widowed bride of the founder of the town.
Hmm. Mustry. Oh, Stanley.
She's the widowed bride of the founder of the town.
Does he have a bidet going on him right now?
Is that what that is?
He's got a bidet all the time
spraying right in his little car butt hole.
That's a fun billboard.
Oh man, you really broke every single part of it.
Oh, now they've sneezed themselves into the past.
So when you put a clock on a car, it just becomes part of their anatomy.
I like this.
Natural formation.
That does lend credence to the idea that all of this is very magical.
Yeah.
Like there isn't a biological explanation for the cars.
Uh oh.
Oh, it's...
It's Stanley.
What is he doing?
He's just...
Badaing himself.
His favorite activity.
He was using the radiator.
He filled up his radiator.
Oh. favorite activity was using the radiator.
Oh,
wow, that's very specific.
All right.
Good for you, buddy.
There's, there's a spring for your radiator. It's Radiator Springs. Radiator Springs. And it is shaped like a radiator. And she went, oh, he's in a post-apocalyptic future.
That's fake Lightning McQueen.
That's not Lightning McQueen's voice.
Whereas Larry the Cable Guy is available.
Yeah, he's just sitting there.
He'll play me back.
He just talks like that, so they just wire him up and he's...
He opened it up!
So definitely not...
He had a radio?
Oh, yeah.
Also...
Well, the engine part...
The engine part's always... but it's not the engine part. That's true, it's not the engine part.
That's true. It's not the engine part.
It's the part behind the windshield that's got all the meat in it.
Yeah.
But it still feels a little bit invasive to open up someone else's engine.
Very, very, very.
Can you see through Stanley's head?
Oh, let me look. I don't think so.
No.
No, no.
Where did you get that? Pretty amazing that Lightning McQueen's radiator cap had the same threads as one from 150
years ago.
Now, this isn't necessarily them drinking.
No, this is just...
This could just be them servicing their...
But do you think both holes go to the same place?
Is it like snorting water up through your nose versus drinking it?
No, I think there's two entirely different systems.
I think that there's the biological part of the car and the mechanical part of the car.
Oh, they're Borg.
They're Borg. They're cyborgs. Yeah.
Yeah, that's true. Oil and an oil and lube. So, oil everywhere. Yeah.
A drink.
They still...
Well, they did just say a drink.
Oh no. Oh no.
Oh no.
Time travel made us ruining everything.
Uh oh.
Here's your soon to be widowed bride.
Soon to be?
Decades and decades of happiness together.
Who knows?
She's got a big hat too.
Mm-hmm. No, no.
Oh, we're getting back to the future of this situation.
Yeah, back to the future.
Not quite as incest-y, but yeah.
Yeah, there we go.
All right, it turned out okay
Apple sauce
They got apples. They got apples. I want to know where the sushi fish came from
That's weird. That's weird.
I don't feel good about that.
Wow.
And that's how baby cars are made.
This seems real to me.
What?
This is not a...
Oh. This seems real to me.
What?
This is not a...
Oh.
Oh, we're say it like that.
They're definitely freaking banging in there.
This is sad.
Yeah, well, you know, Pixar.
Yeah.
See?
That was wild!
That was just as incomprehensible as the movie.
The great part about Time Travel Mater is at the very end of the credits, there's a little screen that says,
Inside of every car is a meat and blood brain.
That the water goes in and feeds the radiator of the car, but is shunted off in a different direction to maintain proper homeostasis
in the biological parts of the vehicle.
Yeah, weird that they added that part.
Yeah, I was really grateful for it though.
I'm glad that they did, yeah,
because we really needed to know all that stuff.
After investing two hours of our lives into this.
I mean, I am more convinced than ever
that there's a bunch of gooey life biology behind.
Because why else would you not be able to see through?
Why would they not have upholstery?
Why would their windows always be down?
They're hiding something.
They're hiding something inside of their heads.
Yeah.
That's where the secret is.
Well, I only have 18 Slack messages, so that's better than I was expecting.
I have two.
So I'll survive.
Wow.
Well, that's the end of that.
Thanks for joining us for this.
I hope people did.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a lot.
If you took it piece by piece, that's understandable.
But mostly, if you're listening right now, damn, congratulations.
We really appreciate that level of dedication.
And if you listened without watching the movie,
like if you listened while doing dishes and things,
how incomprehensible were we?
Oh, jeez.
What did you think was going on on screen?
Just like a lot of guns, I guess,
because that's what you yell all the time.
Pretty accurate, yeah.
There was nary a five-minute period where a gun didn't appear. I didn't think about the amount of guns in it when I was watching it with my child and cousins,
but there you have it.
I just kind of left after the first half of the movie.
It just kept happening.
Yeah, well, I feel weird about this one a little bit. I'm a little surprised. Yeah, I think I'd feel weird about this one. Yeah.
I'm a little surprised.
Yeah, it's, it was a weird movie.
A lot of weird choices went into it.
What about Maid, yeah.
But Maid figured it all out.
And just as we thought,
it turns out that Lightning McQueen needs him.
Mm-hmm.
He completes him.
Yeah, despite the fact that they can't go into a cavern and do whatever the hell Stanley
just did.
Well, they could.
They could.
Maybe.
Yeah, they could.
I don't know how it works.
I imagine two cars just sitting on each other, like, running their wheels really fast.
If you work for Disney Pixar, hit us up too, cause you know, we'll write a script for you.
We'll get to the bottom of all this.
Yeah, we'll write some really good steamy fanfic of the Cars universe.
And also some really gory like, then the Cars head exploded and this is what was inside goop just leaked all out. Yeah, and ankle appear on screen and be like as you can see here
The left ventricle
Pumping oil around the body. Yeah, if anyone has more material about that a car with the headlight eyes
That's very very weird. I'd love to know about that. We'd like to know about that too,
because that almost feels like it didn't happen.
Yeah.
It's terrible.
Her name is Celine de Fair.
And her eyes are her headlights,
the car part she coincidentally sells in Paris.
Coincidentally, character.
Why is that her name?
I don't know.
Maeder says, excuse me, what are you selling? And she says,
headlights, monsieur. Headlights? Maeder says, what in the? Ah!
And then two for one. I'll give you a good price. It's okay, I'm good. Maeder says.
It's okay, I'm good! Mater says.
Celine's design appears to be derived from a hardtop Renée Bonnet.
Her license plate revealed is CUR10-STI3 for curiosity.
Okay, but unlike other cars' vehicles, Celine's windows are, Celine, whatever, are fully transparent and reveal her interior which features such real-world elements as a rear-view mirror seats a
dashboard and a steering wheel
Maybe she came from a different universe. Yeah, I think she is a space alien
She's bad to look at
Very bad to look at. Céline Defar. Sorry, I'm very bad at French.
I'd hesitate to draw any conclusions from her. She's a nightmare.
Well, I'll tell you what. She exists in the Cars universe.
That's true.
So any understanding of what's going on in this universe does have to include Céline.
Yeah, that'd be bad science if not, huh?
Yeah.
She's the only one of her species, maybe.
Maybe.
Just like the lone car out there. Hope she finds a friend. Bad science if not, huh? She's the only one of her species maybe. Maybe. It looks like it.
Lone car out there.
Hope she finds a friend.
There has to be a reason this exists.
Why did they do that?
Oh, I found it, trivia.
Zephyr's character is a reference
to how early concepts of cars intended for vehicles' eyes
to be on their headlights rather than their windshields,
similar to other anthropomorphic vehicles
such as those featured in Chevron advertisements.
The Pixar team, however,
ultimately decided against this decision,
instead choosing the windshield as the car's eye locations.
Probably because they were less creepy.
Yeah.
Good choice on their part.
And a bunch of confusing choices.
Yeah, that's like a creative reason. I want to know the
physiological reason
Thank you everybody for hanging out with us for this two hour long
Watch a thon. Thank you for getting us to 500 patrons. Thank you for supporting such a tangent
I'm not sick of us now. Yeah. We'll be back with more Tangents, so you do have to listen to more of us talking.
Yep.
Or I hope you want to.
Sam and I are going to go eat some food.
Maybe Sari as well.
I am too, probably.
It's almost dinner.
All right.
Yeah.
Sweet.
Thank you guys.
Thank you.
Goodbye everyone.
Bye.
