A Wireless Toaster
Karen Toast Conger, of ToastFloats, used to work for WatchGuard, a network security devices company. As a parting gift, she was given a very special toaster. Her colleagues bought her a Cuisinart toaster, took it apart, and put a WatchGuard Firebox X Edge wireless router into it. A wireless router, security device, and a toaster.

Where Have I Heard It Before?
Rick from Zanesville, Ohio was surprised to hear his hometown mentioned on DGW by Leo. Leo can't remember that he did, or why, only that he used to have a girlfriend called Sue from Zanesville, Ohio, about 35 years ago. Dick advises Sue that if she's not married yet, she'd better do something about it soon, coz if she waits too long for her ship to come in, her pier might collapse. Leo can't remember where he's heard it before either.
Leo's memory is being obsoleted pretty quickly. For where we've heard about Zanesville before, and Leo's obscure reference to it, think Dick Cheney, or listen again to Episode 507.
For the ship and pier joke, think Johnny Olson, or listen again to Episode 535.

Comes with a wireless heart monitor.
Not a watch, says Dick.

Dick walks his dog for at least a mile a day. Leo walks to his office and back every day, a mile each way.
Halloween Special?
Dave G from Detroit writes in and says Oct 13th falls on a Friday and suggests a Halloween special. Dick says, we don't have time. Leo jokes, we can make this clever and interesting, but we don't have time; we can actually have some content, but we don't have time; this could be a good show, but we don't have time. More importantly, Dave thanks Dick and Leo for the "netcast".

LeapFrog FlyPen
Magic Pen
Link: Flypen
Draw a calculator with this pen on special "fly paper", and the drawing becomes a real working calculator, just like magic! The Leapfrog Flypen has a miniature video camera that keeps track of what's being drawn to enable it to work in other "magical" ways. It even comes with a built-in speaker and headphones jack. Dick tries to demonstrate it and it goes "Low Battery".
Lord of the Rings in Theatre
The stage version of Lord of the Rings has premiered in Toronto. A little problem with the Helm's Deep scene. Listen to Leo's account.
