Loved those guys. Used to listen to them at work every Saturday. Learned a lot about car diagnostics from them, if not anything specific. I have a T-shirt from them somewhere from winning a weekly puzzler.

This is sad, but the dude had a long and happy life and made a lot of people's days brighter.

Awww. I loved listening to those guys. I guess we still can, but it'll be a little sad.

We all have too much in common.

I listen to their show weekly for at least 5 years.

The best part was the laughter, always the laughter

Also some a bunch of jokes from FARK on this. They are tasteless and tacky as hell. I would like to think Tom Magliozzi would appreciate them:

"Remember, don't die like my brother."
"Don't die like my brother."

"Funeral services to be provided by Barry M. Deeper."

"Condolences may be sent on the back of a $20 bill to..."

"Services at the Forgetmenot funeral home, burial later at the missya lots."

I know they wrapped the show mainly due to his health (he was the elder brother).
NPR hasn't been the same since they stopped laying down new episodes.
I'm sure they'll make something of it, I hope I find out when it'll be so I won't miss it.
