Do Click and Clack sound the same?

[Sheets of Easter]

Oh, and this is a catch-all Car Talk appreciation thread.

[madinmaryland]

1. Yeap! Same old hackneyed car jokes!

:hi:

[Richardo]

2. They don't, but I still can't tell them apart

I never know which one is talking. :dunce:

But: It's tied with 'Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' for my favorite NPR programming. I heart Saturday mornings. :thumbsup:

[Phillycat]

4. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is awesome!

It's my second favorite NPR programming, after This American Life. Car Talk is waaay down the list, but I do like it. :)

[Richardo]

5. OMG I forgot "This American Life"!

I love that show, I can just rarely be around a radio when it's on :cry:

[Phillycat]

7. Download the weekly podcast; it's free!

That's what I do. I almost never catch it on the radio.

12. Wait Wait is what I wait for each week on podcast,

I also love "Talk of the Nation"

[Sugar Smack]

6. I can't tell which one's talking either-

they even have the same laugh! :*

[Richardo]

10. !!

:* Mwah!

8. Tom's the one that almost always laughs.

Half the magic of that show is listening to them laugh like a couple of idiots. I especially love when the BS their way out of a caller's question if they are stumped.

[Sugar Smack]

3. No, but my engine sounds like

glass marbles have been tossed into its gears.

It sounds like this: "Gggggththt--*ph* *cough cough* and then it sort of sputters out. WTF is going on with that?

Also, assuming I can fix it, I'm thinking of gluing rhinestones to the exterior of my car. What kind of glue would be most durable given the inside & outside temps of the car? Thanks in advance.

-Love. B-)

9. From years of working on Internal Combustion Engines, I would say...

...sounds like somebody tossed Glass Marbles into your gears. :) :)

[stuntcat]

11. Not at all to me

I can tell who's who! I bet if I see them speak it will confuse me at first, if I watch their show I mean.

I haven't driven in years & forgot everything I used to know about cars but I still have fun listening to them every week! :headbang:

[semillama]

13. Tom is the jollier one, and I've always assumed he's the one with the mustache

Ray has a raspier voice which matches the one with the beard. I've never checked to see if I'm right though.

[Sheets of Easter]

14. Actually, you have them switched.

Ray's the shorter, balding one who's kind of the straight man of the two. Tom has the beard, and that hilarious chuckle.

[Richardo]

15. So Tom's the one with the snort at the end of his laugh and who never remembers the Puzzler?

[Sheets of Easter]

16. Yes. I'm pretty sure.

:D

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. No, but I'm surprised to learn that Snap, Crackle and Pop

were actually voiced by different actors.

[Pierre.Suave]

18. A great show

For sure.

[Orrex]

19. They did a great cameo in Pixar's Cars

Effective in the story and also true to the actors' on-air personae.

[madinmaryland]

20. I see that you missed the kerfluffle this afternoon.

Something about a "brazillion toll booth and bunco" jokes.

:hi:

[Orrex]

21. All the cool stuff happens while I'm away

Coincidence?

[tigereye]

22. no - one knows more about cars (at least now he does)

and the other one is more of the jokester... And their voices have different tonal qualities. One is lower pitched than the other.

love that show - listen to it every week....
