Car Talk - A Tribute to Tom

Hello there:

This video is a tribute to Tom. R.I.P. and my condolences to his family and friends.

What can one really say in a time like this, so words seem inadequate to express the sadness, so with that being said, may his loved ones take comfort in knowing that he was beloved by so many strangers around the world, not just by friends and family, he mattered to so many and brought laughter and joy to so many and that is something that so many of us just dream of leaving that kind of legacy behind.

I never really liked listening to anything on a radio before those 2 guys, it was back in 2001 when my TV was sort of broken, so I was looking for some interesting stuff to listen to on radio and I found some interesting stuff on (BBC) and then I found (NPR) and it was completely by accident that I got (NPR) station and it happened to be (Car Talk's air time, and I have been listening ever since, so because of their show I got to know some of the other shows on (NPR) like (Paul Harvey - The Rest of the Story)

(Dr. Laura Schlessinger) (Ira Flatow - Science Friday) (Neal Conan - Talk of the Nation) (Robert Siegel and Michele Norris - All Things Considered) (The Kim Komando Show) and time to time (The Rush Limbaugh Show) 'Now' all of those shows were great in their own right, but (Car talk) was really something else (Tom and Ray) was just amazing, the show was not just about cars as we all know, it was much more than that, every time the show ended I wanted to listen to it again, but I had no good way of taping the show, and then came the first (iPod Touch) and later (App Store)

I was keep checking the (App Store) for (Car Talk) or (NPR) app, but back then there were not any apps remotely close to what I was looking for, so anyway the app finally came to (App Store) and I was beyond happy, 'You see',

I was waiting for that app ever since (App Store) got released, and at the beginnings and much later on there were not that many apps, so to see (Car Talk) app was really exciting to say the least, and I have been downloading weekly podcast ever since, and looking forward to what they had to say, but sadly this time there were just (Ray)

I was just loss for words, I felt something, that can't be described that easily by words, so I can't image how (Ray) must have felt and announce his brother's death on the show. Thanks to technology their works, Tom's laughter is going to live on for generations to come.... Share your story if you can about how you came to hear about the show thanks.

“No matter what it is, it’s gonna cost you $200, if that’s what it is.”

"Unencumbered by the thought process"
RAY: “Don't drive like my brother.”
TOM: “Don’t drive like my brother.”

You can't download the podcasts for free anymore.

I noticed it back in (Wed,Sep 20,2023 1:46 AM)

I go to NPR's site on my PC to download it for free, it too will be money soon.

There is no way that I would ever pay $4 a month no matter how much I like car talk, besides I have downloaded a couple of hundreds already.
