If You Love Car Talk February 20, 2008
How could this show be so funny? Maybe it's because they laugh at their own jokes, or that while they're highly trained and educated engineers, they know just about as much about cars at the next guy. Short on actual information, you'll howl at some of the reactions to people's calls.

I guess you either love these guys or you hate them. My wife finds them incredibly annoying when she hears them on the radio. After hearing this, you know their mother loves them!
Myself, I love them, too. Their accents are not off-putting to me, and I love how they laugh together.
What I've learned over time, though, is that the 'straight' answers they provide are actually pretty authoritative. They actually know what they're talking about, based not only on their extensive formal education but also based on their hands-on work with many, many cars.
If I personally found anything annoying, it's only their constant self-referencing which gets old. However, it's a part of their "shtick" which we would not want to do without...
Car Talk Maternal Combustion: September 7, 2005
Was a real pick me up on a recent road trip. Lost my Mom 8 months ago and it was nice to hear how other mothers delt with the everyday problems we all experiance with our cars.

In case you don't know them or their show, the brothers narrate the award-winning 'Car Talk' radio broadcast weekly on National Public Radio stations across the nation, accepting call-in questions addressed with a heavy dose of humor. Fans and newcomers of CAR TALK won't be disappointed in the one hour program of hilarity offered on Maternal Combustion: Calls About Moms And Cars.
