Our email and viewer video this week is from our most loyal and most frequent contribution, Mo Torres.
Mo has another “What The Heck Is?” for us.
Guess What the Heck it is? We played along and it was hard to guess, but in the end, a very useful gadget.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
-
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

Our email this week is from Ivan Hahn.
It's about the show where we discussed internet security videos produced by Amazon.
Ivan writes: Hello all,
I wanted to give you some info about the internet safety videos.
Most of the time with the safety videos (PSAs), they use actors under contract. Amazon produces movies and shows for Prime Video. Most of the time they add PSAs into the contracts of the actors. So it's most likely free to produce. They would do this back in the 80s and 90s when PSAs we're huge (example: This is your brain on drugs)
I used to work for news networks (News 12 New Jersey) so this would come up often.
Thanks, Ivan Hahn

Our first stop was Snap Circuits. Snap Circuits is a fun way to learn basic engineering, electronics and circuitry concepts. Kids use building components with snaps to assemble electronic circuits on a simple “rows-and-columns” base grid. The resulting projects function like the printed circuit board found in most electronic products. Each Snap Circuits part is easily identifiable by a different color and purpose, and each kit includes an easy-to-follow project manual. The
