This weekend, Justin Yu makes an appearance on Tom Merritt and Roger Chang’s podcast, East Meets West. Ostensibly, it sounds like a podcast about technology, Asia and Western culture, right? Nope, turns out it’s half an hour where Tom and Roger ream Justin and The 404 for our use of “curse words”.

As for way less deep films, “Fast and Furious” topped the charts with a cool 72.5 million bones. Michael McCarthy, ace reporter Caroline McCarthy’s little brother, joins the show today to lend us his opinion on movie and provide a laugh track.
Twitter for all the problems that it’s caused in the world may have actually saved the life of a suicidal woman. Apparently, if you @reply Demi Moore, you can get saved. There’s some more bummer technology stories too in there.
In happier news, Rick Moranis might make an appearance in Ghostbusters III. We just hope that Seth Rogan, Michael Cera, Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill aren’t the new Ghostbusters. Also, Queen Elizabeth II gets an iPod from Barack Obama filled with showtunes. Finally, Domino’s gives away 11,000 pizzas accidentally.
Listen to this episode of East Meets West and let us know what you think. We’ve available via voice mail at 1-866-404-CNET (2638) or via e-mail at the404 [at] cnet [dot] com. Does bad language really bother you? Does it make us juvenile? Or are we just getting lectured by padre?
