AndrewHOST
Marshall Teague is...
AndrewHOST
And for the listeners that have seen the 2006 greatest movie of all time, Cars, Marshall Teague's car, the fabulous Hudson Hornet, is Doc Hudson in the movie.
AndrewHOST
And in the movie, Doc Hudson...
AndrewHOST
You know, he had this this crash and it put him out for a long time and he was reclusive in this Route 66 abandoned town.
AndrewHOST
That crash actually happened in real life.
AdamHOST
Like a

Doc Hudson, Lightning McQueen

type.
AdamHOST
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
ViviHOST
Join us next week for the presentations on weird ships on the internet or whatever it was.
NobuHOST
Join us next week where Vivi is going to learn about Doc Hudson and Lightning McQueen.
MiriHOST

MiriHOST
Who's Doc
Felipe ShimonHOST
Our next stop is Pixar's 14th feature film and first prequel, Monsters University from 2013.
Felipe ShimonHOST
Now, here's the guy who never rushed a single fraternity at BU because Uzma Kappa is fictional.
Felipe ShimonHOST
The Brazilian Dragon, Felipe Shimon.
Felipe ShimonHOST
And I am not alone.
Felipe ShimonHOST
As always, I am joined by a guy who would never disrespect a librarian.
Felipe ShimonHOST
The peppy, never scary, AJ Norris.
Felipe ShimonHOST
AJ, how are you doing today? I'm

up, but I was like, no, that's not worth my time.
Lindsey JeschHOST
No, it was an hour west of Kansas City, Missouri.
Lindsey JeschHOST
And they were supposed to have a Doc Hudson replica, but we wanted to take a picture of it for my daughter.
Lindsey JeschHOST
And we walked in and the whole museum maybe had 50 cars.
Lindsey JeschHOST
And pretty quickly we realized they were all yellow.
Jerry Wayne LongmireHOST
But there's no fence.
Jerry Wayne LongmireHOST
It's just a field, and we hit the field, and Chuck just, like a dirt track racer, he does that old Doc Hudson.
Jerry Wayne LongmireHOST
He

turns left to go right.
Brendan LeonardHOST
You, you have a good, uh, piece you wrote on, on your Substack about achievement won't fix your emptiness, and, um, I, I enjoyed it because we're in the middle of a very obsessive phase about "Cars" the movie, and my son has, I think, at least five shirts that say Lightning McQueen on them.
Brendan LeonardHOST
Um, can you describe how there's a bit about Doc Hudson? There's a part in the movie you talk about and how this relates to the idea that achievement won't fix your emptiness.
Brendan LeonardHOST
Can you, can you kinda talk about that?
Oladimeji AjegbileGUEST
Yeah.
MattHOST
But then he gets humbled.
MattHOST
And then you got Doc Hudson, who's a fantastic teacher.
MattHOST
Turn right, go left.
MattHOST
That doesn't make any sense.
EliHOST
And this thing has always pissed me off about cars and why it was never a five star of him about to win.
EliHOST
And he just stops there at the finish line and reverses to bring the bring him to finish because he's like, he wants the King to finish his last race because of Doc Hudson.
EliHOST
And I'm just like, there's something so dumb about that because it doesn't, because I know what they're trying to do.
EliHOST
John Lasseter is trying to make it seem like McQueen has changed, but he really hasn't.
Felipe ShimonHOST
And then Paul Newman also passed away from cancer in between the production of the first and second film.
Felipe ShimonHOST
So they referenced Doc Hudson, implying that he has also passed in the time since the first film, having the Piston Cup renamed after him.
NaviGUEST
Which, how does that work in the Cars world? Would he also be considered a lemon at this point? I don't know.
NaviGUEST
I'm clearly thinking too much about this world that the writers clearly did not think of.

Felipe ShimonHOST
Hudson...
Felipe ShimonHOST
There were a lot of allusions to Doc Hudson in some of the original story that made it too complex, so they focused on other moments.
Felipe ShimonHOST
And Lasseter said that he really felt the loss of Joe Rampton in this movie, that he missed his best friend.
