Turn-The-Tables-Tuesday
This time, it's Leo's turn to do a "What's In the Box?" routine, and Dick's turn to guess what it is. It's Ziszor, a portable, hand-held shredder. It runs on 4 AA batteries, comes with 4 Ziszor catcher bags, and you shred your paper trail right into the bag. Ziszor's slogan is, Don't let your mail be your trail. But as Leo demonstrates, it can't shred Colleen's credit card, though it will shred your English spelling into oblivion.

The MailMate Shredder from Staples is a cross-cut shredder that shreds up your bank statements, credit cards and CDs into confetti, to avoid theft identity. That was easy. Dick does a live demo of shredding a CD-ROM, and a carrot. They make the same sound.

Securing Your Identity
Dick disposes of his bank statement and other personal data very securely, half into the rubbish bin, the other half into his dog's poop bag.
20 In A Row and Old Clothes Again
Roger Coburn fell 40 episodes behind with the podcast and listened to 20 in a row, another DGW marathon. Not recommended. His family do the Dick trick with old clothes, but make sure you put the old rags in the bin in the hotel room.

Listening Habits
Listeners have written in about how they listen to DGW. Some in the morning to start the day. Some reserve it for their lunch time, something to look forward to.
Foolproof against Identity Theft
