Book Description

March 6, 2006
The guys share some of their favorite calls about the world where cars and animals meet. Luckily, it’s not dog-eat-dog, but sometimes it’s horse-eat-steering-wheel.

Tom and Ray Magliozzi are America’s foremost auto mechanics. So usually people phone in to their radio show with questions about cars—buying them, driving them, keeping them running. But every so often, out of the blue, Click and Clack are also called on to be amateur veterinary psychologists. They’re asked to figure out why a horse has eaten a steering wheel, or why a 100-pound dog insists on riding on the roof of a pickup truck, or how a white rat the size of a two-liter Coke bottle got into a poor young woman’s Chevy. And while they might not know the answer, they always come up with something.

This is a collection of calls about cars, animals, and the mysterious, often hilarious times when they meet. It leads Tom and Ray down a familiar path—of wild speculation, occasional brilliant suggestions, and lots of laughs. This is a must-have for anyone who loves animals, particularly the two that host Car Talk.

From AudioFile

"Click and Clack," NPR's jovial advice-to-the-automotively-troubled "Tappet Brothers," are back with an hour of humorous calls dealing with cars and animals. Even when the proceedings aren't as funny as the brothers seem to think, their hilarity is contagious; laughter from the original segments segues into renewed laughter in the framing sequences. Some of the callers' dilemmas are truly wacky, and the whole production is crowned by a reader's letter thanking the brothers for demonstrating that if one person knows nothing, two people know even less. This presentation is just like their show, just more concentrated. For those who wonder how car advice can be so popular, here's the place to find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE CAR TALK, June 15, 2006
This review is from: Car Talk: Doesn't Anyone Screen These Calls?: Calls About Animals and Cars (Audio CD)
On Saturdays when I take a break for listening to CDs, I usually
tune into Car Talk on my local NPR Radio station. I have a
fancy for the crazy antics of Click and Clack, the Tappet
Brothers.

In their show, they dispense humor and car repair information. I end up laughing at their crazy banter more than I get car repair tips. Plus when my car messes up, I take it to the shop-I don't want to be their next call!

In their current audio collection, Car Talk: Doesn't Anyone Screen These Calls? (One hour, one cd, radio selections, Highbridge), the Tappets take calls regarding animal and cars. It is funny with out trying. A few of these REAL people seem like they came out of crazy central casting (especially about the horse who ate the stering wheel)


If anyone hasn't heard these boys before on the radio or on their cds, you are in for a laughable treat for your ears. I am still laughing at this one. ENJOY!

Bennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD

4.0 out of 5 stars Too short---but very funny---more like 4.5 stars, July 11, 2007
This review is from: Car Talk: Doesn't Anyone Screen These Calls?: Calls About Animals and Cars (Audio CD)
Brothers Tommy and Ray Magliozzi have a call-in show on National Public Radio called "Car Talk." The calls range from the serious to hilarious--but rely on the "Tappett Brothers" to make even the mundane call funny.

Check your local listings to see when "Car Talk" comes on. Tommy and Ray are the only people that'd get me up and cheerful at 9 AM.

Their radio show has provided both my husband and I hours of laughter. Their website is also helpful for finding mechanics, buying cars, etc.

It's good to have them around if you need a laugh at other times. My only complaint is they could have packed a little more into this CD. Then again, "Car Talk" is never long enough for me, either!

We enjoy Car Talk so much and we really had fun with this! These guys are hilarious! The only problem is that it's too short!
