  • Digging Up the Bones 

    There’s a lot that can be gained from unearthing the past — learning about oneself, learning about others. But, it doesn’t always go how you’d expect.

    Ali Wong, comedian, joins us along with Adam Felber, Aida Rodriguez, and Alonzo Bodden.

  • The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes

    We attempt to exploit the zeitgeist by… reviewing a movie from 1969. We may not be good at this zeitgeist thing. More to the point — since Disney+ has been in the news, we attempt to bask in some reflected glory by talking about the young Kurt Russell Disney live-action vehicle, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (thanks to longtime Daily Show producer and head researcher Adam Chodikoff for the idea). Meanwhile Stu makes the fatal error of encouraging Elliott’s singing, Elliott takes us inside the pitch meetings for our favorite cereal mascots, and Dan has the plague.

  • #1949: Stop and Chat

    Out in Gustavas, Alaska, Janet and her neighbors like to stop and talk to each other when they’re driving. One of the topics: whether their cars are better off idling or being shut off during the conversation. This week on the Best of Car Talk, Tom and Ray weigh in, and one Magliozzi manages to book himself a night sleeping in the garage. Elsewhere, Heidi’s Lincoln is under attack from a bird that’s pecking at its own reflection. Can Heidi protect her car without landing on the Audubon Society’s Most Wanted list? Also, Shawn’s Caravan seems to be channeling Maurice Chevalier; John got a smokey lesson in what happens when you leave the filler cap off after an oil change; and Steve’s truck is bouncing like a basketball on bumpy roads. All this and more, this week on The Best of Car Talk.
