The 404 149: Where you can call us now for your free reading

After one of our listeners calls us out on our truly awful Jamaican impression, we try, try, try again--unsuccessfully. It doesn't work out so well, and we slowly start to sound like a Jamaican extradited from Ireland. Anyway...today's episode finally reveals the secret pre-show juice that powers the enthusiasm we bring you everyday: crunk juice! And, by crunk juice we mean orange juice! All this segues into our first story, where we lay the smackdown on 50 Cent for getting a little trigger happy south of the border. Jeff decides to change 50's name to "… Read more

EFF YO CUBE

Mark is an associate producer on Loaded. He took a three week vacation during the busiest time of the year for our team. We had to redesign the set, film off site, move all office furniture for re-carpeting, and cover the 3G iPhone launch all without him. We haven't slept in weeks. This is a little friendly retribution!

The 404 142: Where we KILL the Batman

This is the show where we KILL the Batman. And by kill, we mean praise...maybe obsess. We scored a few free tickets to attend an exclusive Dark Knight IMAX screening and after getting stood up by three contest winners, we finally get in touch with Cesar Marty, who came to enjoy the movie with us. And man...did we enjoy it. So much so that we spend the first half of today's show gushing over its superiority over all other superhero flicks. Don't worry, we keep Wilson "The Spoiler" Tang on a short leash. The … Read more

The 404 140: Where you can win a non-date with Natali Del Conte!

Natali Del Conte scored an extra ticket to an exclusive IMAX screening of the Dark Knight tomorrow night, so we're holding a contest to see who gets it: just send a haiku about Natali and Loaded to the404@cnet.com or record it on a voice mail to 1-866-404-2638 and we'll choose a winner on tomorrow's show! Remember two things: it's a non-date (listen to today's show for more details) and entries must be received before tomorrow's show. Good luck! On today's show, we spout about our "appearance" on Fox News, … Read more

The 404 138: Where the show is now called The 202

Today's show starts off a bit rough. Wilson's still gone and our guests Rana Sobhany and Eric Litman are nowhere to be found, so it's the Jeff and Justin show for the first half. We do our normal thing and chat about old people getting it on until BAM! Rana and Eric arrive and all is well again. They give us the scoop on their newest business venture, Medialets, and we also discuss the YouTube versus Viacom lawsuit. Thanks for coming on the show, guys! Episode 138 Download today's podcast

The 404 130: Where Justin dances like a Muppet

Fridays are always the craziest days at the 404--hopefully you saw today's preshow where Justin danced his little Muppet heart out to Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." If you missed it, you can still check out the video below. We have the pleasure of speaking to the great Lou Bakalar today over the phone; he gives us his take on cutting edge tech and we pick his brain about the dangers of driving a taxi in the city. The story rundown is equally zany, filled with strip clubs, celebrity death predictions, vegetable oil automobiles, and of … Read more

The 404 125: Where Jeff Bakalar: This is your life!

We're all family on the 404: Jeff's dad and girlfriend both called into the 404 preshow this morning! Today we bring you a handful of insane stories from the Internet: Chinese is the new Black, Zohan + Love Guru = Suck and Blow, a man finally conquers his home printer, and rampant underachievement runs wild on our airwaves. To top you off, we also examine the correlation between hobo love and the rising number of teenage pregnancies. Finally, check out this picture of Kratos, Jeff and Stacie's tortoise and God of all Reptilia: EPISODE 125 Download today's podcast … Read more

Where we're wishing Jeff Bakalar a happy birthday

EPISODE 62

Moving from one part of queens to another means subpar cable service, Foodler hooks us up with some sushi in a snap, Amy Winehouse looks absolutely awful, plus we open up the snorefest that is the 700MHz auction. All that, and Nicholas Carlson from Valleywag joins us to help us trash Valleywag's sterling reputation. Happy 26th birthday to Jeff!

Where Bakalar isn't just his name...he's actually Back-a-lar

EPISODE 39

Today, we actually get it right! We sucker in Tom Merritt to talk about Amy Winehouse's drunken badness, a guy gets denied an all-star game marriage proposal, unlimited cell phone minutes, and N+, like stick figure lemmings...but for Xbox 360, and Pimp My Ride for Wii. Listen in on the fun!
