Dick's Gadget Warehouse. And how to submit your video to the show.

A video submission usually starts with an email, often a short one, like this:

Hello Dick, 

I have a short video describing my favorite gadget.

Here's the link to my youtube video:

Thanks, Paul

If your video is shown, you will get an autographed copy of  MAD Magazine and a 35 year old Alfred E. Neuman picture, plus a piece of crap from the TwiT Brickhouse all because we showed your video. Don’t you think you should make a video for us too? Details below.

See or hear this show: www.twit.tv/giz1497  

                                     +++++++++++ 

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 of All Time: 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 our producer, Jeff Needles, 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 will now be awarded with some sort of prize. Like an autographed MAD magazine and some piece of crap. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video! 

All show submissions go to gizwiz@twit.tv

Subject: shark tank
 
I am just curious if you caught last night's (12/05/14) Shark Tank? The last gentleman looking for "$hark $upport" was representing a one serve glass of wine I have seen a couple of times in your hands on The Giz Wiz program called Zips? Most of the $harks bowed out with some kind of insult about the product or valuation of the said product. But Mr. Wonderful stepped in and made a offer which Zips took. You Tube has a short clip on it, but maybe in a couple of days a longer clip will surface if u would like to mention on The Giz Wiz?
My boyfriend and I watch you and Chad every week. We'd like to see a bare chest episode, is one in the works?
