Mark is finally back from his 10 year sabbatical, so we have him on as a guest on today's show to talk about the much deserved practical joke we pulled on him (see post below). He also gives a shout out to Papa Licea and tells us a few stories about his trip.
The rest of us get into a rather heated discussion about RoboCop and Batman, give a public service announcement on child abuse, reminisce about a time not so long ago when we worked for pennies, and daydream out loud about all the sinister things we could do with an identical twin.
Welcome back Mark!

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!

Self-proclaimed audiophiliac Steve Guttenberg sits in with us today and gives us the inside scoop on the many benefits of ear cleansing. Light candles in your ear, pouring hydrogen peroxide into the ear canal, what the...? We also talk more about the latest headphones on the market and even gain some insight into the Steve's former political agenda!
We also play a heartbreaking voicemail that Natali received from our buddy Phil Ryan and EVENTUALLY get into the rundown at the tail end of the show, talking about (dare we say) hot, sweaty lesbians! 'Tis true, take a peek!

Every time Wilson smiles, an angel loses its wings. Critics agree, Wilson is the reason Christian Bale beat up his family. But seriously though, c'mon Christian, was worldwide fame and fortune not enough for you? Did Warner Brothers not include a "maternal abuse" clause in the contract there, guy? Unbelievable.
Needless to say, we express our disappointment with Mr. Bale regarding this breaking news, and also comment on the Japanese trend of upskirt iPhone pics, mourn the death of the local coffee shop, and warn our young viewers about the dangers of lighting your friends' pants on fire. Finally, we end the show with a lengthy discussion on alternative pedicures and place an astonishing $404 eBay bid. Download the 'cast to find out if we won!
Also, big thanks goes out to Sterling Sanders, who left us perhaps the most amazing voice mail ever. Wilson sure enjoyed it:

After a long, hot weekend, all three of us are happy to be indoors hugging the air conditioner and chatting about all the latest and greatest news from the Internet. This weekend people escaped the heat by checking out The Dark Knight, and the numbers blew our predictions out of the water. Another doozy: dudes in Flint, Mich., are pissed at Police Chief David Dicks cracking down on saggy butts, and Amy Winehouse's boo-bear finally finds a home in prison. We also talk about the Beijing Olympics (sponsored by Singulair) and run down FHM's list of 100 Sexiest Women.
Britney Spears, are you KIDDING me?!

It's not easy doing a show after a trench-coated troubadour walks in wearing a pair of sunglasses, and starts to sing "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. A singing telegram... That's right, folks, we got a live Rickroll!
Wow, it's pretty hard to follow that up with an equally funny and disturbing show, but we try our hardest, 'cause hey! It's Friday. On today's episode, we exonerate Andy Dick for his underage groping, analyze some strange statistics, and Jeff tells us about his favorite thing to do on a sunny Saturday afternoon: Live Human Taxidermy. All that and a handful of hilarious calls and e-mails from our listeners. Check it out!

Per usual, we push the envelope in the preshow today and it starts to leak into the beginning of today's episode, but we quickly (maybe not so quickly) seal it up and get into our story rundown. We criticize our sue-happy country and its propensity for stupid T-shirts, speak to the potential power of iPhone gaming, introduce a new S&M Barbie doll (therapy not included), and snap our way through this year's Emmy nominees.

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 rest of the show is spent recommending good places to consummate an affair, wrapping up this year's E3, and applying "SKALLY" in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Check out these pics of Cesar and the crew!

We have a winner! After poring over a ton of submissions, Natali chooses a winner to attend a non-date with her tonight to see an exclusive screening of The Dark Knight on the IMAX screen. Here's the haiku that took the prize, courtesy of Kin::
What do I want more?Natali or the Dark Knight?
Movie first, then her...
Scallyyyyyy! Congratulations Kin, we've sent you an e-mail with instructions on how to pick up your tickets.
Our favorite guest ghost Rana Sobhany joins us again and brings her friend Alex Cone, who dishes the dirt on the Apple AppStore and gives us all the secrets about the new iPhone 4G. OK, maybe not, but we do get into a pretty random rundown, which includes a rundown of the Microsoft press conference at E3, an update on Wordpress, shirtless Mormons, and an exercise in international workplace ethics.
Oh yeah, don't forget to follow Justin and Wilson on Twitter!

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, release an exclusive secret about this year's Rock Band concert at E3, briefly touch on the iPhone release, and look into a new and innovative form of police brutality. Special appearances by Bill Cosby, Space Beer Guy, and a genital herpes commercial.
