Back To Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To The Show.

Our viewer video of the week arrived in this email: 

Hi Dick and Chad,

This is my favorite gadget of all time! I love movie theater popcorn, and this gadget "The Whirley Pop"  http://whirleypopshop.com/  replicates the process that movie theaters use to pop their in house popcorn!  Instead of an electricmotor to stir the popcorn, it uses people power to crank up perfect popcorn every time!

Here is a link to my video, I hope you like it.

***********************

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos! We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so let’s go going! You’ll get an autographed copy of MAD Magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture if we show your video, and who knows, maybe you’ll be discovered by a YouTube Talent Agent!

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 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 a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video!

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv  (NOTICE! This is a new email address!)

Letter of the week:

Hi Dick & OMGChad, 

I've been a big fan of the show for a long time. It's quality entertainment. I especially loved your coverage of mechanical calculators (the Odhner arithmometer). It might be fun to talk about some really old gadgets. Are you familiar with the Antikythera mechanism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism

If you're running out of types of gadgets to cover, which I think you've said recently, the past could provide a treasure trove of interesting ideas. 

Keep up the great work! With best wishes for your continued success. 

Sincerely, Jon from Chapel Hill, NC
