Justin Yu returns to the show from his sojourn to Boston, but he comes back with some monster grandma glasses from the '60s and a $40 check from Airborne. The 404 makes history by finally making it onto Urban Dictionary, with a word we still cannot write officially on CNET.
Really. Those glasses man?
(Credit: Wilson G. Tang/CNET)While listening to NPR, Wilson rediscovered the good ole days of car stereos. Not the fancy built-in ones that come with your shiny new Toyota Camry, but the $400 dollar stereos that you put into your '88 Chevy Nova with the flip-down faceplate. Remember when you couldn't turn on your car with your stereo on at the same time without burning out your batteries? Well, apparently, the theft of car stereos has gone way down thanks to built-in iPod connectors and proprietary dashboards.
Also on today's show, we chime in on Facebook's new redesign of their redesign. It's not really that bad. One of the Jonas Brothers makes a racial slur that all of Hollywood seems to be embracing. It's not funny, y'all! We wonder how many trees had to die for you to get a phone book that you'll never use. It's called Google, people. Finally, leaving your computer on at work apparently costs companies $2.8 BILLION dollars a year, but damn, we hate waiting 10 minutes for our computers to restart. Not to mention the time it wastes to turn off the 20 spyware programs and relaunch your IM clients, browsers, iTunes, and Microsoft Office just to get started on the work day.
All that and more on today's show. Plus, an obligatory poop joke. We need callbacks! Leave a voice mail at 1-866-404-CNET (2638).

On today's show, we're joined by two of the girls from NewYork.com! Wilson's sick, but he misses out on an insane show filled with the girls drooling over Michael Phelps, even more slanted eye pictures, Nintendo bikinis, Apple store nightmares, and a possible NewYork.com/404 meetup!? Listen for more details!
Wilson can't make it to the show today so we replace him with two of the fantastic ladies from NewYork.com! "Broadway Baby" Hillary and "Soho Hot" Amanda are a real treat to have in the studio, especially for the preshow...did someone say Cher?! If you haven't checked out the Web site, go and see what New York has to offer; there's restaurant reviews, a theater box office, tourist guides, and their newest project, City of Fame. Go check it out and submit your best video impression of John McCain or Barack Obama for a chance to win a cash prize! Their store also features a ton of NewYork.com items to show off your N.Y. pride, including housewares, baby bibs, and even a thong! Skalllliieee!
The girls start the show by gushing over Michael Phelps, that scandalously clad swimmer with a cut, but freakishly odd body. Whatever the reason might be, Hillary and Amanda definitely aren't the only ones that love watching Phelps work it out in the pool, but his low cut suits and 37-pack abs are gaining notoriety. It might just be jealousy, but that swimsuit is borderline NSFW; I'm trying to think if I'd really want my preteen daughter watching this guy cut it up on TV. Whatever the case, if the NewYork.com girls want to see more Phelps, they're going to get more Phelps!
And speaking of bathing suits, check out this one It's a two piece bathing suit with the original Nintendo buttons strategically placed over certain areas...I'd like to say that this was a good idea, but I just can't imagine many women buying this suit and wearing it to the beach. Just imagine the type of guy you'd attract--is that really the attention you want? From a drooling, greasy, pale faced kid that wants nothing more than to press the "start" button? If that's what you wanted, just come on The 404 already.
We also get an excellent e-mail from our buddy Tony, who offers to donate a few of his older PS2 games to the Get Justin Into Video Games Foundation! Jeff's going to give me his extra PS2 console this week, so be sure to tune in to help us schedule my next homework assignment and hear my take on the games you probably played over four years ago. Thanks Tony!
Listen or watch the show below to hear the girls' take on the Muxtape bust, the 'N Sync bubble burst, naughty chat room comments, and Apple store mania!
