374 | Where we celebrate wheels and women at the Bicycle Film Festival | Wednesday, July 1, 2009 | [1] | [2] |
As a longtime fan and patron of the Bicycle Film Festival, we're proud to welcome its founder and director, Brendt Barbur, into the studio for a sit-down interview about the international filmfest. The BFF is a celebration of everything that encompasses cycling: joyrides, casual trips, long-distance journeys, trick sessions, racing, and so much more is captured by the unique program offered.

375 | Where that ain't right | Thursday, July 2, 2009 | [3] | [4] |
Since we're not having a show tomorrow for Independence Day, there's a lot to cover today, including a new segment with Beck's Beer and Last.fm, a chat with the winner of our logo design contest, and a hilarious voicemail from everyone's favorite Tina Schwartz. Watch Video | ||||
376 | Where Natali Del Conte can't get her pinche computer online...AL;DKFJKASF | Tuesday, July 7, 2009 | [5] | [6] |
We invite Natali Del Conte onto today's show to have some fun with us, but you should've been there in the preshow--she went berzerko! We calm her down a little bit and she talks to us about her Palin/Twitter fallout and her upcoming appearance at Comic-Con 2009. She also dispels rumors about drugs in her undergarments, and we get to a few more exciting stories on the show! Watch Video | ||||
377 | Where Wilson needs a haircut | Wednesday, July 8, 2009 | [7] | [8] |
Today's show covers Wilson's ever-growing locks of hair and Google ads catering to stupid people. We also take a look back at the original Sony Walkman and examine the best-selling video games of the '90s. Finally, stick around for our weekly Audio Draft Pick sponsored by Beck's Beer in conjunction with Last.fm! Watch Video | ||||
378 | Where Jill Schlesinger eats Wilson's Asian pear | Thursday, July 9, 2009 | [9] | [10] |
Asian pears are delicious, which is why Jill Schlesinger--The 404's very own financial expert from CBS MoneyWatch--likes them so much! After getting through some munching and slurping noises in the first minute by Wilson, Jill explains to us what is going on with the economy and why we need to fear the End of Days. Just kidding...mostly. Watch Video | ||||
379 | Where we have a ball with Steve Guttenberg | Friday, July 10, 2009 | [11] | [12] |
CNET official Audiophiliac Steve Guttenberg guest hosts today's ball-busting show. Steve brings his usual brand of random topics to the table today that include the most bizarre festival you'll never want to visit and the world's largest ketchup bottle. We also introduce another awesome band in our Becks/Last.FM semiweekly Audio Draft! Watch Video | ||||
380 | Where these wind screens won't stand, man | Monday, July 13, 2009 | [13] | [14] |
Could the Internet be any filthier than it is right now? Today's show highlights some of the more disturbing stories that we haven't been able to get to over the past few weeks, but not before complaining about the dirty microphone screens pressing up against our mouths on a daily basis. Wilson seems to like it! Watch Video | ||||
381 | Where we gotta stay positive | Tuesday, July 14, 2009 | [15] | [16] |
We always try our best to keep a positive mental attitude on The 404, so it makes sense that we've chosen The Hold Steady's latest album, "Stay Positive," as today's Audio Draft Pick. We also run through the accidental video game archive, shame the Guinness World Records, and warn our listeners about open manholes, literally. Watch Video | ||||
382 | Where Randall Bennett didn't start the fire | Wednesday, July 15, 2009 | [17] | [18] |
Randall Bennett, co-creator of The 404 and now the host of TechVi, joins us on today's show to talk about his journey around the globe, a few of his new projects, and how he's saving the world one post office box at a time. Watch Video | ||||
383 | Where Where it's so bad it's good | Thursday, July 16, 2009 | [19] | [20] |
Maybe we should have used "So bad, but so good" as our show motto instead of "High Tech, Low Brow!" Today's show is a good example of that, and we kick it off with Wilson's brief and spoiler-free review of Bruno. We also talk about the rise of the Twitterns, Apple breaking the Pre-iTunes lovefest, and Jeff meeting Tony Hawk! Watch Video | ||||
384 | Where we're not spastic, we're just passionate | Friday, July 17, 2009 | [21] | [22] |
We have an especially fun episode for y'all today, with a comparison between Transformers 2 and GI Joe, a brief rundown of old video game movies, the decade's biggest tech flops, and OF COURSE: The 404 Semi-Weekly 'Audio Draft Sponsored by Beck's Beer in conjunction with Last.fm, a subsidiary of CBS Interactive and CNET News and Reviews 5000! Watch Video | ||||
385 | Where we get affirmative | Monday, July 20, 2009 | [23] | [24] |
We're all still in shock about receiving a tweet from one @LesMoonves, but we get through it to bring you an awesome Monday show. Today's stories cover Twitter getting hacked and why it does (and doesn't) matter; a guy who got a Palm Pre tattoo; and Kazaa making a (paid) comeback! Watch Video | ||||
386 | Where we get lost in the dream | Tuesday, July 21, 2009 | [25] | [26] |
It's Wilson's turn again to choose The 404 semi-weekly Audio Draft sponsored by Beck's Beer in conjunction with Last.FM, a subsidiary of CBS Interactive and CNET News and Reviews 5000, so naturally we're a little skeptical (but not nearly as skeptical as we are about the moon landing), but Mr. Tang comes through again with the beautiful music of Priscilla Ahn, a young singer-songwriter with a light, ethereal voice that drifts through the layered atmosphere of her acoustic folk melodies. Watch Video | ||||
387 | Where we'd do anything for love | Wednesday, July 22, 2009 | [27] | [28] |
This is the last time we let Wilson choose the show title. Good news--The 404 Wikipedia page is BACK! Edit away, but please don't redirect the page. Today we talk about a fake bus stop in Germany, a "green" iPhone app, the iPhone 4G prototype, the "World of Warcraft" movie, and Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince of Persia. Watch Video | ||||
388 | Where there's a Tesla coil in the room | Thursday, July 23, 2009 | [29] | [30] |
Somehow we make it past the wild Tesla coil in the room to bring you an awesome (if not kind of late) show! Today we show you how to self-destruct your private data, discuss how 3D is totally lame, and why we think Jon Stewart should run for president. Watch Video | ||||
389 | Where we elect Jeff Bakalar the new mayor of Hoboken | Friday, July 24, 2009 | [31] | [32] |
Today's show welcomes Eric Franklin, host of the Inside Labs Podcast, who comes on to talk about the new Watchmen Blu-ray/DVD. We also talk about Xbox Portable, Hoboken's newest mayor, Comic-Con, and, of course, Beck's Beer/Last.FM Audio Draft! Watch Video | ||||
390 | Where we all hail Wilson | Monday, July 27, 2009 | [33] | [34] |
On today's show, CNET reporter and 404 BFF Caroline McCarthy directs us in a live read-through of the actual script for the upcoming Facebook movie and also joins us in talking about 4Chan, Comic-Con, and this weekend's insane hailstorm. Watch Video | ||||
391 | Where the 404 is a postmodern piece of art | Tuesday, July 28, 2009 | [35] | [36] |
Even with Justin gone for over a week, the show must go on. Caroline McCarthy once again takes the reigns, all while helping to diversify the show. First, we're treated to a mashup made in hell, Rick Astley vs. Nirvana in a little tune called "Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit Up". You've been warned. To make things worse, we hear William Shatner's beat-poetry version of Sarah Palin's resignation speech. Watch Video | ||||
392 | Where we get spiflicated | Wednesday, July 29, 2009 | [37] | [38] |
Today, we're joined by two ladies, Ace Reporter Caroline McCarthy again and "Allie" of Heavy & Flo fame. This makes the two remaining boys of The 404 very happy. On today's show, we've got sex offenders, speak easys, 1920s Prohibition and Ashton Kutcher. Excited? We are. Watch Video | ||||
393 | Where Natali's alter-ego is Motherboard | Thursday, July 30, 2009 | [39] | [40] |
Today we're graced by the presence of an actual superhero. Yes, Natali Del Conte has been transformed into the marginally intimidating geek hero "Motherboard." Neither a mother nor a board, Motherboard was sent to this planet to fight crime with her magic gadgets. Too bad she must recharge every night on her magnetic induction bed. Find out the etymology behind our new superfriend and her trusty sidekick Green Show Boy, aka Mark Licea, by listening in! Watch Video | ||||
394 | Where The 404 gets a 404 | Friday, July 31, 2009 | [41] | [42] |
On today's show, it's the last day of the Becks Beer sponsorship, so we end on a high note. Joining us in the studio again is Caroline McCarthy, bringing her wit and charm, and we also have Tim Geisenheimer, who always has something clever to say. So apparently, CNET broke during today's live stream, which is why some people are getting 404 error pages when they visit our Web site. Today's Audio Draft is sponsored by Beck's Beer in Conjunction with Last.fm, a subsidiary of CBS Corporation, 5000 XP GTS, is a rising European pop-rock star, Paolo Nutini. Watch Video |
