Bummer. I knew they had quit running the show live, but I didn't realize it was because of Tom's illness. RIP.

I still listen to the podcasts. It doesn't matter that the stories are about cars from the late 80s or whatnot, that's not why I'm listening. Sad to see, though
SI

It's still what I listen to on the way to and from the dump every Saturday morning. Generosity of spirit never goes out of style.

I've been a big fan of the show for many years and was sorry to see this. I had seen pictures of the two but never knew which was which. I had them backwards. So for all these years, when I was picturing them talking, I had Tom's voice coming out of Ray's mouth. I'm still having trouble reconciling it in my head.
I assume Pikov Andropov will be driving the hearse. Who does the make up? Is it Bud Tugly? |
