Early Christmas
Leo plays the Festive Letters Jingle by mistake, and it just happens to suit the wife of a particular listener who can't wait till Christmas.
A Fan, Naturally Speaking
Brian Drake, who wrote in Episode 394, uses voice recognition software Dragon Naturally Speaking. While recommending DGW on a message board and mentioning Dick's and Leo's names, he found that the software spelled the names Laporte and Debartolo correctly. These are not very common names and Brian thinks Dick and Leo have a fan working at Dragon.
