Car Talk brothers'

Have you ever heard of the art of "Italian Yoga"? We certainly hadn't, but when we caught word that Tom and Ray Magliozzi (better known as the Car Talk brothers) were practitioners, we were intrigued. So what exactly is Italian Yoga?

Peter Catizone is the movement's "founder," and describes Italian Yoga, or "dolce far niente" as the fine art of "sitting at the corner cafe with espresso, cigars, cannoli and good friends." This practice involves exchanging jokes, stories and generally anything to distract one from prospect of returning to work.

Andrew Magliozzi, nephew of the Car Talk duo, is aiming to start short documentary-style video, that would air as three long segments on YouTube over the next year. To raise funds for the project, a Kickstarter page has been started, with the goal of raising the necessary $40,000 for production. Those interested could donate as little as a dollar, but larger donations will get you all sorts of swag from the Car Talk boys.

The essence of enjoying a moment of leisure in the middle of the day is something we could all get behind. Especially if it means sitting outside, smoking a few vices and enjoying the day. Add in the always-entertaining banter of Tom and Ray, and you have what looks to be pretty watchable content. Check out the promotional video for the Kickstarter page and the press release below for more information on this project.
