Probably no one knows him here, but Tom Magliozzi of Car talk on NPR died. I found him and his brother hilarious.
I know him! I love NPR! Car Talk and Fresh Air are 2 of the best shows. Even though Tom and Ray have been retired for 2 years, their reruns are still great and still stand the test of time. I was sad to hear of his passing.
I just read that too and can you believe I got teary and choked up?
He was so unbelievably funny and likable. I couldn’t care less about cars, but still listen to Car Talk all the time.
RIP. My thoughts are with his family including his equally funny brother, Ray.
Frick and Frack forever!
Click and Clack.
Yes Click and Clack, the frick and frack gearheads!!!
“Well it’s happened again. You’ve squandered another perfectly good hour listening to Car Talk”.
Made me chuckle every time.
Yeah, I was so sad to read that yesterday. I listen to Car Talk almost every Saturday when I am cleaning house. I love the Tappet Brothers.
NOOOOOOOOO! No, no, no. No!
*echoes sentiment*
They were a one of the great teams on the radio. Informative, funny, endearing to no end and they made car talk interesting even if you weren’t that interested in the subject. I learned so much. A true talent is gone. RIP Tom.
Why wouldn’t we know of him? I sure did. RIP Tom
I’m sorry, I meant no insult.
It’s okay, Kiddo. I thought it was well worded for a db eater. 🙂
mimif, thanks, of course you would understand with a well established history of getting db’ed.
I wonder if that will be a new Dorito flavor?
Oh, I meant to tell you that I watched two great old movies last night. “Poor little Rich Girl” with Mary Pickford, (1917) which was trippy, and then “It” starring Clara Bow (1927) which was insanely chauvinistic, and reflected the norm of the times but also showcased her charm and made her as ‘strong’ of a female as she could be back then. Have you seen them? I know you like the silents too.
Yep! Love both those ladies and ditto to your observations. When Frances Farmer got arrested, do you know what she said her occupation was? (I can’t post it here.) Oh, the tender irony. The more things change, the more things stay the same…
I can’t find it…I read about the arrest, but wiki did not have that bit.
She stated her occupation was a “c—sucker”. Sad, but she too suffered at the hands of Hollywood (and mental illness). Strangely makes me think of Amanda Bynes.
Yeah Hughjass (great name, btw) totally weird assumption about who listens to NPR. Even when I lived overseas I listened to Car Talk & NPR online.
bettyrose, get over it. It wasn’t in the links, and who knows what people follow, it’s pretty pop culture on this site. I think it’s a really stupid thing to pile on about, especially AFTER my intention was made clear.
See Kiddo…you’re always assuming that no one knows what you’re talking about.
I bet you have sex with couches too.
and lol @ db flavored doritos.
@Jaderu, If I hadn’t prefaced it, I’m sure I would have received 10 responses of ‘Who’s that, you jerk?” lol.
Who doesn’t have sex with couches, EVERYONE, amirite? *Fully expecting couch hostility in return.*
Well, I’m glad someone besides me is getting somewhat temperamental today, because what my OT post was going to be is WHY, in the love of all that is holy, is Linkin Park still releasing music? Why?!
*sprays Jaderu with peach schnapps*
*lovingly tells Kiddo to shut her face**
*throws conciliatory Jell-O shot to bettyrose*
**I’m praying 4 u
*side eyes futon*
mimif, Who are you praying for? Linkin Park? Won’t that just bring more Warped Tour-ish tune-age to you?
*Tosses db flavored Doritos at wall and gives up on christmas, attacks couch*
*dreams of the day that peach schnapps comes in spray form*
*dry humps ottoman while listening to “In the End”*
*prays for Laura Jean Poon*
KIDDO my comment wasn’t addressed to you. Get over it.
@Jaderu
Laura Jean Poon is so LIKEABLE. This has made everything LIKE good, because, LIKE, I LIKE her.
GET OVER IT™, new single from Linkin Park available via forced download from iTunes today!
*builds db Dorito dusted love seat in the shape of a sexy potato adorned with christmas ornaments and commences to relax (aka ‘like’) all over it*
Ugh. Heartbreaking!
Car Talk and Wait, Wait consumes 2 hours of my life every weekend.
They were such a funny team and the jokes/puzzlers/advice was always entertaining.
So sad.
NOOOOOOOOOO!
Some of these kids are so bratty that it is more disturbing than funny. Granted, there are a few really sweet kids here, but the ones who tell their parents to shut up over and over and scream at the top of their lungs. My mom would have knocked me toothless if I behaved like that as a child.
Agree but I also thought it was the parents fault. What have then done to produce such brats? So much dysfunction there.I didn’t like watching the video for the same reason…AND I don’t think it’s funny to mess with the kids like that.
Exactly. Preach Poppy!
+ 1
Pretty sure those kids are told to shut up, because the second time he said ‘shut up, go to your room’.
I pretty much hate this gag. Who intentionally makes their kid cry as a joke? WTF? I think the reactions from the kids speak more about the parents and what jerks they are for even participating in this “joke” which is really just mean.
Same here, Lucinda. I can’t even watch it. It breaks my heart that parents would do this at all, and it’s made infinitely worse by sending it in to such a popular television show for kicks. What kind of parent does that? It really does speak more about the parents and their approach to parenting than anything. I wouldn’t blame their children for lashing out, tbph, and I wouldn’t expect that treating others with respect and compassion was a major theme in their lives.
I agree. It’s disgusting. Hey, I just broke your heart. hahahahahah. Very not funny. Totally cruel.
I hope the Lena Dunham “thing” continues to go on. She’s a child abuser. And yes I know that she too was a child when it happened, But she is 6 years older than her sister and it was some seriously sick/creepy/disgusting stuff. I never found her to be the “genius” that she was made out to be……..but I’m truly finished with her now.
She is not a child abuser. No legal or psychological professional would consider what she describes child abuse. I’m no fan of Dunham but describing what happened “child abuse” is a disservice to children everywhere who experience actual abuse. This is a great article about what child psychologists consider “abusive” and what they consider normal childhood curiosity and where Dunham’s actions fall on that spectrum.

Thanks Molly that article was really interesting
The real story on the LD thing is the reporting of it. (Not here; our writers don’t seem to want to touch it with a ten foot pole and I don’t blame y’all) most outlets keep citing the one passage where she says she’s 7, but leave out the one where she talks about being 17 and what happened then. That’s the one people are outraged over. The link above is the same. Why are outlets shielding her? Slate’s article was just plan disgusting. There are screen shots of the book passage out there. There was no misquote or interpretation. I don’t think the outrage or disgust is unwarranted.
I thought the quote where it says she was seventeen was a typo? So, that part also took place when she was seven, not seventeen. I dunno, I”m not really following it that closely but I read that somewhere .
She recounts putting her hand down her own pants “to figure things out” when she was 17 and her 11 year old sister slept beside her. She bribed her sister for long kisses and to relax on her body while they watched television in the intervening years. It’s not just one anecdote. She didn’t have to tell these stories, but she chose to. Were people supposed to read them and not think or talk about them? She seems like a toxic narcissist.
I think both incidents happened when she was 7. The real issue is that this nitwit callously writes about it with the intention of being called out on it (no such thing as bad publicity). It’s her actions as an adult that she deserves scorn for.
Ok, no one was saying that yesterday. And even the sites that defended her that I read didn’t mention a typo. And from what the correction says the typo is in the actual published book. So then I’ll eat crow. I still find it odd that LD herself didn’t say it was a typo and I can’t find the picture that was posted of the passage in the book. The whole thing is still weird. She still cancelled a bunch of tour dates and she herself isn’t screaming about it being a publishing error.
I think, at the least, it was abuse of confidence and a hijacking of her sister’s narrative on her own life. Since her sister put out a comment publicly, perhaps this ended the over-sharing tour.
@kiddo-that’s the part that gets me the most, too. I think I read somewhere (I read so many things, I can’t remember where) that her sister asked her to not put all that stuff in the book, but Lena did anyway. Whether or not what she did was molestation or ‘normal’ sexual experimenting is not for me to say, but she deliberately equated herself with a sexual predator in her own text. And now she’s upset that people are calling her a sexual predator. It’s disingenuous at best, and coldly calculating and manipulative at the worst.
I don’t think the typo was in the book. The typo was in the article that called her a child molester on “Truth Revolt”.
She put out a good statement, You can see it on d-listed.
The video was funny but some of the kids are really spoiled and bad-mannered.. The little girl who tells her father to shut up or the other one that throws chairs and other things on the floor…Their parents should consider to learn their kids how to behave instead of taking videos and laughing.
But some of them were cute.
yes the girl knocking down chairs and throwing things had way too much rage…and her poor little bro in the background. …could have got hurt. I wouldn’t be bragging about that on Jimmy K.
Yes! Too much rage for a little girl. There’s nothing to laugh or brag about.
Do you have kids? Do you spend a lot of time around kids? Kids are capable of HUGE rage, especially when something they’re excited about has been stolen from them –which is what the parents are claiming they’ve done.
Yes – I thought that girl may have been watching too much Real Housewives of New Jersey…but worse she probably learned it from her parents!
Some of those kids are sweet and wonderful and some of them are legit psycho. If my kid acted like that, no matter what the joke was, I would be embarrassed. I certainly wouldn’t film it to show the world. It’s kind of sad.
It’s more embarrassing for the kids. I bet the ones that cried were made fun of by their peers at school the next day.
I want to hug the kids who were saying that it was ok that mom and dad ate their candy. And I want to put the rest of the kids in a permanent time out. That one boy was way too old to be crying over candy, not to mention him telling his mother to shut up. And I really hope the dad told his little girl to say “f**k you” because if she did that on her own, that is nothing to be proud of.
I am most likely in the minority here but I don’t find that JK prank on the kids funny in the slightest. Maybe I’m being too sensitive or something so forgive me if I am but I find it cruel and really unneccessary to do that to children. They are so exicted about their costumes and their candy and then you, thier parent, upset them like that for your own amusement?
As for LD, I find it extremely nausea inducing and creepy what she did to her sister. The whole thing seems predatory, a word she herself used in the book. It seems she comes from a weird family anyway. Stroking her mom’s crotch and thinking it was a hairless cat? What kind of mom would let that go on? Have you checked out her father’s “art”? It is a little creepy too. Something is just a little off about the lot of them.
I never really liked her before, thought her show was boring and definately not ground breaking. This only solidifies my distate for her.
Totally agree. It’s not funny to deliberately toy with their emotions, given that you’re kind of emotionally ‘done’ by 12 years old. The kids that reacted with rage/bad language have learned that directly from how their parents handle upsetting situations. Not funny.
I agree. Not only are they tormenting their kids by lying about eating their candy, they are humiliating their kids by videotaping their reactions and having it broadcast on national TV !
I agree with you completely.
Is anyone else confused that no one is making a bigger deal over the fact that Lena Dunham masturbated next to her 10 year sister when she was 17?!? 17!!! That is straight up disturbing.
what makes me so angry is that so many people still defend her. if a man had written this i would have not been surprised to see Lena leading the mob against him.
whatever happened, why the hell did no one tell her to leave that out? it is such a sensitive issue that can only blow up. The way she wrote is even more horrible, even mentioning that she is a predator in a joking way. seriously.
and sites like Jezebel writing stuff like “There is enough real abuse out there.” Are you kidding me, people?
And that she put the story in her book of “cute/interesting/quirky anecdotes about my life” with no awareness that people might find it disturbing? She seems to be a really…off…kind of person.
All her stories dealing with her sister are so disturbing.
jeeze people, its not like jimmy is telling parents to tell their kids they have cancer. its candy! and its funny, imo.
F*cking stupid f*cking asshole parents. Don’t toy with their emotions (and don’t even get me started with “They’ll get over it” bla bla bla). Don’t f*cking mess with kids like that and THEN post it on YouTube without their consent. Stupid-ass m*therf*ckers.
This 10000x. I just think it’s wrong to toy with the emotions of someone or something that completely trusts and loves you and record it for the world to see. Bad parenting as far I can see and pathetic for JK to put it on air and be a part of it all.
I say “something” because I don’t like when people tease animals and record it for viewing either. It’s a form of bullying now matter how you spin it.
I totally agree. Bullying. Schadenfreude is overrated and makes people loose empathy.
Empathy? Or sympathy?
English is not my first language but I really meant empathy. Obviously bullies can’t see themselves as the one being hurt.
But actually I dislike Jimmy Kimmel a little for this so he lost sympathy points as well…
