Baked apples: Wilson's favorite! (Credit: Flickr/anjuli_ayer ) It's the day before Thanksgiving and CNET's The 404 Podcast has a lot to be thankful for. As we go around the circle from Wilson, to me, then to our special guests Natali Del Conte of CNET's Loaded and Tim Geisenheimer , we realize we all have something in common: we're all very very thankful to Les Moonves for signing our paychecks twice...

(Credit: CNET) It appears all the bacon sandwiches and soda have finally caught up with our very own Justin Yu as he is once again not with us for the show. Instead, we are graced by two special guests. For the first half of the show our buddy Sean Cullinane stops by to help us understand why there are a lot more Phillies hats being worn in New York City today than Yankees hats and to pick apart our...

Our favorite guest just returned from a trip to the UK and of course Wilson is indulging himself in a bottle Beck's Beer, so we foolishly decide to guess Ms. Del Conte's actual body weight.
