ADHDeanASLI can’t be the only person who thinks life was better when Click & Clack were on the air.
Staff Chief of Joints@adhdeanasl
I was a frequent listener. Good times.
JJ@adhdeanasl
Don’t drive like my brother!

Chertridge@JJ @adhdeanasl Don't drive like MY brother.
Raygan@adhdeanasl I miss them
Kim Possible 
@adhdeanasl never heard of those two, so I looked them up, and no wonder.
@kimlockhartga I recommend giving their show a listen whether you’re into cars or not. It’s like listening to a couple beloved uncles hold court at the corner shop.
@adhdeanasl ha! Sounds great! Like those Muppets?
I confuse most people who apparently think it's "fun to drive" and have ideas of dream cars. 😁 I make car salesmen stutter when they ask what color model I want and I say I don't care. I am well aware that this is rare.
@kimlockhartga What I look for in a car is 1. How far will it go on a gallon of gas, 2. How many decades will it be dependable, and 3. How much will it cost to maintain
All the other stuff is just details.
@kimlockhartga Also, Click & Clack are far more good-natured than Statler & Waldorf. If they heckle, it’s each other.
@adhdeanasl nice. That's a much much better way to be.
@adhdeanasl you have your priorities right!
Chris Vreeland@adhdeanasl @kimlockhartga I loved that show! They certainly didn’t pull any punches.
Ari "Two Sheds" Jackson@adhdeanasl you're not alone.
KayJanes@adhdeanasl We often thought about buying the bumpersticker(?) that proclaimed there was a young captive audience in the car.
Joe10do@adhdeanasl Don’t drive like my brother.
Coach Spore DieselI miss them.
moosecalendar@adhdeanasl I remember my dad listening to them regularly. What I didn't realize was he was still listening to then years after they were no longer making the show lol
sb arms & legs@adhdeanasl
I still laught a lot listening to those knuckleheads.

sauc3Those two had a laugh that would make me laugh. In fact, reading through the comments, I had a chuckle or two, and read many of the comments in their voice. Gotta love the, "don't drive like MY brother" people!
I am not even someone who really likes cars all that much, but I would still listen to their show just to hear the joy in their voices as they told old stories and diagnosed problems with peoples cars.
@sauc3 I’ll never forget Heywood Jabuzoff, Dewey, Cheatham & Howe, etc. at the end of the show.
John McFarlane@adhdeanasl @sauc3 our chief food tester was Howard M. Burgers
@JSAMcFarlane Chauffeur: Picup Andropov @sauc3
OMG, I forgot about Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe!
Acin ☆Still hard to believe that's a real firm.
Shawn Harder@adhdeanasl
I certainly laughed more when they were on. I was a big fan. One of the best episodes was when they had their mother on. She was hilarious.

Quasit@adhdeanasl You definitely aren't! I used to love seeing the sign for their law firm "Dewey, Cheatem & Howe" in a window when I walked around Harvard Square.
Ertain@adhdeanasl I faintly remember the Magliozzi brothers. I only read their weekly article in the newspaper, but they were interesting.
cavebear@adhdeanasl I still listen to their reruns every week.
@adhdeanasl no, and also Casey Kasem. He was a background staple during car repairs.
@adhdeanasl (my personal life *is* better now, but I miss those shows.)
loombot 3000@adhdeanasl My son watches the movie Cars regularly and their appearances in the movie feel bittersweet.
Common Sparrow@adhdeanasl
My dad never had a drivers license, and no particular interest in cars, but he loved listening to Click and Clack, never missed an episode!

@CommonSparrow They put off the vibe that they were the same no matter where they went, so the listener always felt like a friend included in the conversation. Watching their Harvard commencement address only strengthened this impression for me.
Dave Fischer@adhdeanasl Upvoted this because I was confused and thought you meant Cling and Clang.
Dave Muth@adhdeanasl @lisamelton Did you know:
In 2025 Ray Magliozzi began answering questions on a version of Car Talk called Car Talk+.
The new Car Talk+ feature allows listeners to speak directly with Ray once more, as he says, “Whenever I can fit it in between my yoga classes, Mahjong games, and mechanics’ romance book club meetings.”
@adhdeanasl @lisamelton $36/year. Also only one brother, and not as long. I'm going to pay.
