I hate to be a buzzkill, but if I recall correctly, they record the show on Wednesday for broadcast on Saturday. I think I read that on this very website somewhere.

It’s a great show. How can twins be so different?

They’re not twins. They’re about 12 years apart. Tom’s the older one.

Good show, but why all the repeats lately? Have you noticed that most of the callers are asking about cars that are 10 to 20 years old, and the puzzler is a repeat from 2004. They used to announce “encore” programs, now they just piece together parts of old programs. Have they retired?
