I heard on my local NPR station on how the show got its start. A few decades ago a volunteer run radio station (open source radio station ??) in Boston wanted a panel of auto mechanics to answer calls about cars. Six were invited and only one showed up, the one being 1 of the 2 brothers. Because it was open source radio, the brothers talked as normal, un'photoshopped' people which was why it eventually got the attention later on. RIP.
