like the greatest decade they were there were a lot of bad like snap bracelets not look here a bad come on bush or snap bracelet yeah good point this is the name of the great offs now this morning I was actually listening some old school boys to men ah boys to men maybe some bubblies too good something weird about these five dudes just like singing love songs on bended knee and somehow know what I mean they're way better than like the likes of NSYNC and Backstreet ball right that's a really well you know what you're right we are men rule really good motown philly back again they are back again we're back again as well so today we got plenty of lot of uh audience interaction today yeah we've got a buttload of voicemails a few good email I'm sorry what load a butler okay a whole buttload they can all fit it in your butt was gonna say we have enough voicemails to fit inside one book and a buttload yet in John poppers but no duh they're giving a lot of our voicemail do that well alright so first thing I want to talk about real quick if you allow me to do this I'll be your best friend oh my god i'm looking at this in the rundown i really wish you don't owe you really to bring this up and bring it up because a good friend uh Dan levy yeah one listening out of thousands he made a buddy we've been on the show on the show he's a friend and he's in the chat room I know but it's serious drop it right now involved something that's kind we can talk about so Kevin Smith we all know Kevin Smith is right huge highlight Bob right sound Bob from the movies uh director writer unbelievable dude huge hockey fan right let alone huge new jersey devils fan yeah he was writing for nhl.com during the postseason okay he keeps like a celebrity blog talks about the playoffs and stuff like that after his first post this season yeah and it shows post NHL doesn't wanna many really why because he wasn't very good he was a good writer what he's a great writer obviously a problem it's the fact that he is content was not the most family-friendly canta is coming off puck daddy great blog done by a greg wyshynski and it says that basically they parted ways Kevin Smith was asked basically stopped right he's like well you know what he was doing he was writing about hockey and instead of cursing he's like I really want to curse at uncomfortable they said no you can use different words there's like fine every time I want to curse I'm gonna use some variation of the name Wayne Gretzky what it's only like you can go Gretzky yourself you know Gretzky my Gretz go Wayne Wayne a great win my Gretzky read he got a little bit of trouble not his family friendly as is a not ever been to a hockey game is hockey cone quote family-friendly a night with mandatory fights I don't forget you're saying or condoned by our Savior you went to the game at one point they started shouting a certain obscenity yeah like they were shouting racial epithets it said they were insensitive yeah a lot of people they all right don't forget you were at Madison Square Garden you weren't where the devil's play okay yes you're Devils are a lot more they really their manners are a lot better absolutely but all kidding aside though the NHL this is not a smart thing to do right I don't want to get rid of Kevin Smith he's kind of the mana musalia people is where they also have like jason reitman writing for them and who's the director of juno okay and although think about smoking let me ask you a question who won the game yesterday cuz we're actually talking about the Ranger you're gonna go home and watch all the Rangers did win last night and tonight you're psyched out about and I got amazing seats for the devil's yeah the devil's ain't out yet right they have one more game and then though they both could be three morgan right okay I love how you're trying to like really get in and then you and I have been bonding over this lately I charities mom I really want you to start watching know what I do that I'll talk to you about it the day after it but don't miss your luck no it's gonna be amazing tonight so that'll be a lot of fun and kevin smith will be at the game tonight so hopefully i'll bump it to him and be like the heat get on our show yeah why not right sounds like you'd be appropriate absolutely all right well let's get into a little stories I wanted to talk about this yesterday but we didn't get a chance to it's a google me have you guys heard about this yeah yeah no we covered this unloaded yesterday this is really cool people Google themselves all the time rate all the time I will go sell every day and then employers google you as well well now this this uh google program called google me allows you to create a profile for yourself so when people google your name it'll shut it will show them things you want them to see that sack early a really good for example like if you put your facebook link on their your twitter link um it'll show up right at the top which is a lot better than you know naked pictures that other people a poster of you right which always an area where all the time right I don't know which is pretty cool I and you can also create a custom URL so it'll be like google.com / profile / you know Wilson Tang or whatever you really which is pretty cool right like I mean it would be better if you could choose stuff not to show up but you know but imagine you could do it just like delete links that yeah should obtain photos that yeah yeah oh what's that yeah I used to work where am i right in or because you just do like sensors are like layovers on top of pictures and stuff they just put just like a mosaic yes be like now that's like in cops yeah there's i'm pretty sure you've googled yourself record every day every day also google me i can fall asleep is by going my hahahahaha those gears have you ever discovered anything interesting about yourself that you found on the web um well you as a really common Jake last name as as you know myth of right what you write that in Chen are like the two most popular Chinese imagine actually Tang would be up there too yeah tank hangs up there but you google tang get some other stuff oh yeah table a variation of tan sugary drinks yeah but you but you were saying that you googled yourself yeah like I'll Google myself and I find you know there's this really famous chess player named Justin you really yeah like a bunch of nerds like suffice it to say I'm definitely the most popular just do you only like Justin you calm no no show I'm not that arrogant I know you have Jeff Bakalar you have Wilson tank omron why is it arrogant don't know like I don't have anything to put up there have like a real or anything like that doesn't matter not gonna put those cnet videos still some first of all that's not a bad idea to on camera yeah I mean on top of having like a Twitter account in a Facebook last thing any is another blog the last thing I could possibly need I remember my resume after like I'm you know there is such a thing as being too much on the internet what do you guys put on your well my real a blog sometimes yeah nothing really important but yeah we're forced to blog for cnet.com so 10 I'm just gonna say i don't really do anything groundbreaking yet I find something funny I guess you've had this problem too now that like a we blog for seen it and we we had write a blog for 44 mmm we write some pretty outrageous stuff on me yeah definitely uh they're gonna be worried for either one of us um not if I can keep my mom from googling my name that's really the only person that I continue to worry about I'm pretty sure she has it figured it out yet she's still using excite and like I said so until she reaches the Google like oh I'm good never find anything interesting about yourself Jeff um I've come across a few pages where it's like wha wait when did I do that it turns out it's something from like you know 1997 where I go message boards livejournal or something like that oh no I never did that but you know what i do is make it a point to you have a different username for every different network that I'm on like example like my twitter name is Mouse Brutus but that's not the same thing I use for everything you know I don't want someone to Twitter that to google that name and have a bunch of shit come up yeah of course no you're right that's actually a really good idea as I kinda bummed I didn't do that yeah so now be we can just look up Jeff Bakalar is that with your hand no no um it's just you know I don't know it's nothing terrible nothing like oh I hope no one ever sees red red it's just stuff that like I did 10 years ago as well as far as incriminating stuff goes on the Internet I don't have a lot of me there's nothing in game I just have like it okay so Wilson tang is apparently I thought as a unique name but apparently it isn't now is like a ton of people in Hong Kong that actually have the name yet Wilson tang they're all like what you expect like lawyers and doctors win it oh my actually mates casa yeah yeah me I have a podcast that I know I'd imagine the 404 would come up first and then your IMDB after that right something like that yeah that's how did you get on IMDb you son of it okay first of all there's no gaffers can get on IM d dude i want them to be on season ID why you making you work it's easy yappers and the boom mic god dude he was gonna shoot emiliana I'm it listed as a writer director pretty a man once you go shove it I need to you know what what do you on IMDb for I'm not Creek services I'm on the anonymous board a fortune you're the best boy did bring the pom-poms today I guess I am I am a server number one let's I want to talk about we got plenty of stories today believe it or not coming from cnet news always amazing first one I want to talk about from Tom craz it uh this is crazy Apple has approved a baby shaker app that's a wrap store ok how many kinds of all crazy so this application rights only for the iphone well let's just say they took this down already they took it down already so you can't go download it but when it was up is this application where it had a baby on the screen and then it would start screaming and crying and moving and everything and then in order to get it to shut up you have to shake the shit out of your iPhone you shake it harder absolutely yeah if you shake it hard enough the baby's eyes will turn red and x's will come over them as if it had died how pale i heard you have to shake it quite a bit too it's not just like one or two shakes you really have to get is now i can spit see spending you know up to thirty-five dollars and thirty-five dollars i mean that's just really worried seriously talk about the lowest of the low yeah that is so messed up i honestly cannot think of a worse application you can make what's worse this or the i am rich application this one is why because there are no dead babies involved in the i know it is amazing uh you are like tom wrote in this post you are able to simulate in uh infant side right infant side is basically killing aveda side is at school how you pronounce it yeah something like that Wow either way you can kill babies you know which is funny when you joke about it when it be cool it's but not funny in real life not even really would it be hilarious if like you know those all those apples though uh commercials on the like red you can find sushi you can get the temperature you can kill a baby you can also the i feel the iphone beat that sprint but now it's going we have been a backlash on the internet for example like this national organization called the shaken baby syndrome prevention organization yeah has really spoken out against it they don't like it other people hate it as well it's now been taken off the app store i think that that that album out into observed in the first place yeah nothing like they take stuff off because it has an apple logo in it or swear word for word but no but it didn't cross anybody's mind kill a baby with it a man sometimes it's the only we can get him to shut up the only language would understand oh my is vibration that's the only language really at the end of the bitches bums me out cuz apparently a lot of babies die from getting shaken which is which is actually very sad but at the same time I can't really imagine time when you want to shake a baby unless you're trying to kill it so I mean that doesn't sound like an accident me but I mean I could totally understand if it swallowed your car keys you mad spit it out candy like nothing funny about thing funny at all except if you're doing it on your iPhone that's fine tulare arm let's talk about Caroline McCarthy oh well Caroline McCarthy got to see Star Trek i'm i'm way jealous before we talk about the story in reamer one should lock the doors she can't come in not a bad idea what you go look at that apparently now she's a huge star trek fan okay so according to her she's never seen any Star Trek nobody's you know I neither by I don't even know what trip with the trek part of stars yeah yeah I was too busy you know having fun I was doing outside you know I don't know more first of all the more I think I might like Star Trek more than Star Wars well the new really yet because the reason why is because isn't Star Trek based sort of on earth like what you know yeah it's like to that to me is already cooler okay because it's not a galaxy far far away where they magically all speak English yeah I mean there's some beans though that's what I'm saying yeah okay so the whole point of starting here we go Gene Roddenberry try to imagine what a utopian earth was right 400 years now right okay so it's just you know like where we could go yeah I don't know I I feel like it appeals to the better the best in all of us like right where could humanity be if we all decided to quit trying to kill each other it's not a perfect world though right there are like clean all the others bad you know bad people but they're all like I mean in the original series especially they're all uh stereotypes of you know things that we always read you are tricky it sounds like I really wish I used to really like next generation red little I was like eight or nine that was when i was on uh and then to see those just like two terrible yeah well because I what I was all I thought like one day we could only build spaceships and write what you know yeah I just actually googled your name and a Klingon phone sex hahahaha site got brought about a weird run as photos that's the other Wilson tank legal see available so here's what Caroline had to say about the movie she says the new star trek film is less in homage to a legendary science fiction franchising then to storytelling in general back through decades of cinema and television and beyond so she's really think that this is more than just oh yeah good for star says here's my verdict the movie is awesome a deep respect for literature pop culture and epic storytelling is something that Abrams has proven time and time again to fans from the litany of film rooted Sawyer nicknames on lost what do you the tradition of Japanese monster movies that empowered last year's bummer field bummer field that's pretty good yeah I mean this Abrams version actually looks really it looks oh yeah it looks like you could digest to be anything funny I said you know I I i wrote Star Trek off my whole life court for seeing this just the trailer like you know what this is gonna be freaking off yet young it seems like there's a lot more action in this together and they reboot the whole series sort of like but how Batman Begins thing I don't give away how they do it but so you don't need to have watch starting four times I don't know it's like the origin story said you know it's like batman begins again alright because it tells of the story of a young and they do in a way that skywalk case like truck Star Trek is famously known for like the fans like really might take a sleep like taking apart the show and I love it extensive canon yeah and they sort of like reboot the whole thing they do in the clever way that does like this on all the fans okay what about Star Trek versus BSG what do you think all bouts are definitely really because cuz star trek again is about sort of like a utopian world right about like the best in all of us what we want to be bal star is all about the worst so you would say Battlestar then Star Trek than Star Wars that's what I would go the opposite because nut battle star and star trek no lightsabers no weapons period such a star chick has the worst weapons phasers are you getting and hitting me because it was like a mighty you though when it came on TV back in the sixties yeah figured a way to kill people without like yes the use remote control by the time out okay the fact that in the Star Wars is totally geeky but the fact that lightsabers exist in the Star Wars universe yeah me is is is is bad it's audibly me implies just because there's such incredible weapons yeah people Jedi's would have been chopping off their arms by accident oh no that's the point is that there's there so that they know not to do that you know and the tables are turning i think i'm heading towards star trek yet star trek are amazing I ok put in so this is my order battlestar the original star star wars trilogy was about we've we've reached way this is visit older than they start check-in erdem the the prequels I we will talk more about this after the break before I throw up all over yeah seriously when we come back we got calls from the public plenty to get through and a few emails so stick around you're not gonna want to miss it we back in a sec this is the 404 mr effers the show where we all sing songs traffic delays stock market reports the latest developing stories CBS radio's award-winning all new stations are always there every minute every second listen live online twenty-four-seven at CBS radio com hey guys this is libby go i'm in the 404 where I the only gain these guys like to play as rock paper and scissors oh my god Libby effing code it's been a while with her with that nerd voice that i could hear all day long night dad that's fine that's really good to get her back on the show yeah she'll be back soon we need that nerdy voice talking about Star Trek and Star Wars oh hell yeah much better than uh oh my god if she was here right now she would had a field that yeah she would have uh it's calls from the public time time to show the love 18 64 for scenic for phone calls from the public time sponsored by Nolan sponsored by Entenmann's papam donuts yes series that we're eating and once you pop you can't stop no you can't that what no that's pretty I appreciate the Pringles all right calls for the public calls from the willing to have level this first one is not this is not a bad idea hey guys the morning from Zach and I was just calling in to to say that you guys should use the nerdy dirty to name your fan base and then you guys are high-tech lowbrow then where's a nerdy dirty all right let the show so it's kind of like as when we refer to everyone we refer to the internet the listening audience and rise the nerdy during their dirty really like that's pretty cool you know what actually our buddy Ian also emailed us letting us know that this show better off ted on NBC screw that network by the whatever's on apparently they said full-frontal nerdity in one of their conversation yeah they actually said it I don't know what I think is wrong copywriting all the stuff I know one of them was wearing a 440 shirt that's right yet you have been printed for hahahahaha so I thought that's kind of weird though cause is that though I I wouldn't mind like having you know calling our fans the nerdy the nerdy dirty not a bad idea somebody register that start a fan club yeah all right you guys are the nerdy dirty our next caller has a few issues that need to be worked out with us will help him get through these tough times to the 44 at cnet com from Texas merabh 32 issues issue number one Dustin seriously Legos you can only build a house I don't like those yeah yeah it's not a great of millions of children worldwide millions of boys were wise the wrong throughout the 80s sure whatever okay number two I don't encourage people to call up using voices cuz that's just going to turn it like a morning this is a situation yeah and it's just gonna be totally totally we had worse than the vol we can play what we really that Alex do ever heard mr. Rafe Needleman on there and Natalie fighting over who could talk louder anyway oh dang Wow well first of all good at hand we can't choose which way they do and don't was beautiful sort of divine intervention were elaborate but know that he he makes good point i don't want it to just be all listeners of course you know we have those dumb impressions covered i think right now we're good Yeah right now we're tight valley henderson we got 22 tuesday i think we're fine for now although what you know i would love to heat you know i have no problem listening to new ones but yeah he's gonna be tough well I mean we'll decide what's good or not here's a great story about someone who isn't a key right yeah that is then yeah there's a great story about someone who got in trouble because of our ringtone in school hey for full show from New Jersey I just want to call until tell you how the 44 came into my physics class so it was taking notes one day when a teacher turn us back and my friend started to ring I forgot to turn down the volume on my son and for about 10 to 15 seconds the whole class was listening to this badly the teacher took my ferritin forgive to the office and I have a detention Oh anyway hate the show but love your ringtone ok I love that he used the Tom Merritt version and not the actual being the best is me he's like I'm in detention but it's worth yeah I wonder what the rest of the class thought when they heard that punishment fits the crime ya gotta show plays that that's pretty amazing yeah unbelievable stuff next uh buddy Randy from Jersey hey guys it's andy from jersey two things I want to say I never laughed so hard during the podcast before until it Jeff played the clothes out music over a real swim when he started talking about Earth Day ESP thing I totally see it's gonna happen look back in the Dreamcast remember our easy it was a pirate for that yeah oh yeah it was downloaded disc and burn it even a lot of ships no nothing that was on the best couple ever and it died mmm yeah doesn't happen to the PSP but well you know what though we were to mention this yesterday right well first before we get to that the dream kids I don't think died because of the pirating no I wasn't the issues you notice the PS PS check a mad time EP a-- you know it was a whole bunch it was a great system though I said some really good times you can buy one at thinkgeek.com for under a hundred dollar damn but no games are obviously not anymore but you some classics and really good ones on the Sega has a come out with the new system and there they never will uh really the other in the so freaking out no no such software only what sonic the hedgehog gonna do now is I'm in tenders is gonna play in the Olympics with Mario but I thought I would never see that seeing a a Sonic game on the week yeah it was weird they have that never do no she signed on to me arm and all the consoles for that matter uh next call is our buddy christian now he won the wheelman contest oh uh this is amazing he won the wii am and he's kind of bummed out with the product right sent us a PowerPoint presentation that's i saw that of how he sold the game for two dollars what yeah he sold the game for two dollars but that was because his uh xbox broke was it was the red screen of death I thought it was cuz he couldn't stand Vin Diesel probably both of those companies Vin Diesel broke his xbox well to our buddy christian uh thanks for you know totally blowing it back in our face yeah thanks dude that's the last time we'll give you fried it was funny they locked it on the black market for two dollars come on never sold that back the games but worth more than that up so that was funny he has an idea he wants us well let's just listen to what he has to say here um he said he wants to combine inside cnet labs with the 404 hmm okay I don't know about that I don't know though um here here's a huge boobies gonna say hey for for this is christian from Browntown you'll have to excuse the accent I slip in and out of it every once in a while I don't know why I'm weird that way anyway I'm the caption contest winner for we man while back so thanks for the game or should I say no thanks yeah with pure crap I'm doing anything with a vin diesel is pure crap not your fault I sold the game for two bucks that's not a real reason I call your dad the real reason I call it because you guys make me laugh every day but some days more than others now hear me out there's another podcast on your cnet network that's having the same problems they're writing what I call the roller coaster of hilarity it was inside seen at labs with airtran qin and don't know but lately they've been writing the kiddie coaster what was cheap gay jokes and whatnot what I suggest is a marriage made in heaven or hell for this clash and mixed and whatnot I suggest inside the 44 podcast realize this will throw off the Asian to Jewish race yeah a lot of then you also got the african-american persuasion pulling in another way now I know you guys aren't too sensitive to racial epithets work with your golden oreo and what you've become instead three golden cakes with some white in the middle chocolate all over my ignition you're welcome you're welcome a yellow moon cake pie no there is a terrible idea first of all all that dome known eric franklin talk about is gay folks it's not only do is make fun of gay people i don't not have it on my show each other that they call each other gay and and you know what they're from San Francisco so it's totally not cool I mean they're funny guys I loved oh man Eric but I didn't realize it was that much gay jokes it's like gay gay gay gay gay moonpies though I do love moon pie lastly alright yeah what about move I mean this don't know we're talking about all right last but certainly not least Wilson's a missed connection has found out about the 404 oh my god this person has called up outed front listen here hahahaha hi Wilson we actually ride the subway together and I am awaiting a certain form of surgery make much more attractive when I know that don't appreciate like good look and oh well not good yet but for you doctor they're going to be very good looks and I have spent my life savings to try to win your favor I hope I will see you tomorrow we created subway for the last time as a man I mean has not oh my god that's fantastic Giroux God if you guys haven't heard it go back and listen to yesterday's show where Wilson was talking about some ugly chick apparently that he rides the train with all the time that always gives them the you know the once-over yeah it's disturbing and that you really sounds like what I imagine her delivery you are so arrogant man that arrogant probably effing hot you're like all this mule keep looking at this gross broad that's pretty good I want to get to one last email as you know we all talked about yesterday with the PSP and the amount of piracy going on is quote unquote sickening yet is Alex writes in and says what you said about the PSP game saying how the actual games are getting pirated he thinks that because he owns a PSP and he's actually bricked it trying to hack it he thinks that more people hack uh the PSP and DS so that they can run emulators on them which is like playing old you know nes games and yet game boy games and stuff like that I think it's I think it's you know some of that and and some of the piracy yeah sure you know yeah the PSP it's really easy to do anything yeah I believe in like a Hong Kong you could actually get cartridges they have like oh you can buy your 30 games on the dude you could buy it in Chinatown right now we can go right now let's make a trip down there we go raibh and back before we could be back before lunchtime they actually deliver it up yeah it's easy it's really easy so there's that now you don't pirate games for your PSP though course not no no he gets the publishers send them all right you have a free idea decoration yes be worse but now I'm getting up but no i don't i don't do that arm I sort of am aware of it just for educational purposes only that's my story with that just because you know as of as a as a journalist in the industry you sort of have to know everything that that exists right okay Tom putting it I know I believe you find out that's the way I'm spinning haha uh the last voice that is the last voicemail real quick before you have to go wow there's a huge interactive session where we almost done we're almost done we need to talk about half the stories well I knew this was gonna lot of voicemail do you think do you want to talk about the March Madness of tech oh this one's all this let's bring that up yeah it's clear what had this came out of San Francisco and apparently these two guys were having a competition to see who could text message more in March so this is like the text message version of March Madness haha so the winner ended up text messaging 217,000 messages and racked up a bill for 26 grand oh my god that is crazy and anyway the the company is still making him pay for the bill which is which is nuts because I guess the box they used to send the bill to him in we lost 2755 unbelievable and now I don't even understand why they do I think of a Guinness Book thing well they probably broke a system cuz the reason why they did this these aren't like stupid teenage kids no there were 29 and 30 also pedra 29 30 stupid young adorning I 30 uh they they did this expecting their unlimited text plan to cover right uh but apparently there was a glitch because that the system wasn't designed to handle a quarter of a million like Homer Simpson like of all you can eat by yeah just really taken advantage of some like a harrow but technically I mean Alyssa some fine print somewhere technically this shouldn't charge oh yeah yeah it's funny cuz they say they're saying that most of the things a text message were like short phrases like LOL or hello or something like that and they would do like a hundred forty thousand a month which is usually though I this is what understand what the hell could they possibly texting one yeah the real question is what are these people's real jobs yeah they like hitting a and hitting send at the same time yeah six or seven thousand messages on some days that is great you have to honor I don't even want to do the math my head right now you don't want to do that that hurt text message ever understand it's like get a life guys let's all pitch in today you guys are just testing the limits on their carriers you know that's stupid isn't that like Reed grounds for like being kicked off something like just a beautiful think so I pretty much ruined text messaging for them I think you I think you're right now absolutely now they got a fat bill for 26 grand yeah how you gonna get that money to be you hopefully the Guinness Book will pay some cash can't text your head yeah you can tomorrow on the show ladies and gentlemen it's all going to be a very trippy ride with one the only Steve Guttenberg oh he will be back melting our faces melting now right here when the TriCaster handle Steve Guttenberg we'll find out tomorrow tie dye on tomorrow night I uh everyone have a great thursday leave us a voicemail 1866 404 seen it or you can email us the 404 at cnet com
