The show is absolutely hysterical. If you get the chance, listen to it.
The two brothers are so funny and they are also pretty smart when it comesto cars.
I get the show at 10am on saturdays on NPR.
It's followed by "Wait, wait, don't tell me", which is another funny show worth listening too.

They're great. Could have used them this weekend to explain my dilemma. My wife's 96 Accord had a strange noise coming from the fan. On low it sounded like marbles, on high it would freeze and you would smell a burn smell. We are holding onto the car for our 16 year old daughter to drive so we hate to put much money into it. Well, I got my manual out and figured out how to pull the fan motor. It was stuck and I could see something in the fan. After I yanked it out, about 10 handfuls of dog food fell out of the heater/fan area. It was filled. It was Science Diet dog food, what we feed our dog. It's a sealed unit, I could see the filter that draws air in. The fan looks like a juicer. I could reach all the way up in it and kept pulling out dog food. Our dog's food is in a sealed container. Food was dried out. Funny thing is the food was intact. We've owned the car since new. My wife ran the heater all the time and never smelled anything, me neither. I checked the vents, defrost and the food was too big. Did not find any droppings or fur and nothing was chewed under dash. I am stumpoed. Cleaned it out, reinstalled fan and it works perfect. But the battery went bad and needed to be replaced. What a Sunday!

Now that would be a great story to listen to on that show. I can hear them now trying to figure out how the dog food got in there. Let me know if you decide to call because I would love to hear that call
