Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video.

Even though this gadget is a few years old, it's not ready for the warehouse. As a matter of fact after watching this video, I bought one of these for my boat on Amazon. Here's the email that came with our video. It's from Mo and his son Jacob, who are big fans of the show and who have had a couple of other videos on the show already.

Hi; Dick & Chad

 

Today my son and I bring you my opinon on this car item. I have had it for a while, & will never drive another large vehicle without it. Just one problem, its been a couple of years, and the remarks & jokes, from my passengers, are never ending, but i do remind them that they are just passengers, and if they need a ride, one of my requirements is to say one nice thing about the item.

Love the show. Moses aka, MO & Son JacoB

 

From the Giz Wiz: I figured this might make a good mirror for my boat. I'm not quite sure how to attach it yet, but I bought one of Amazon. Judging from the video, I think this is the same one Mo bought. It was only $11 on Amazon.

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

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos!

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so 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! IMPORTANT: We'll just shower you with praise for your video if you live outside the US or Canada since we can't afford to send stuff outside of those two places. (Thanks for understanding.) 

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Letter of the week:

 

From: Ivette Zelaya

Subject: Interesting gadgets

Hi Dick and Chad:

 

I've been enjoying your podcasts with my hubby and family.  

Here is a cool website that sells interesting gadgets.

 

https://www.thegrommet.com

 

For example, one gadget Dick may personally enjoy is the Whisker Dam. It is described as:  

The Whisker Dam is a copper mustache guard that lets you drink like a gentleman. It fits neatly over a pint glass, highball, or mug, keeping your facial hair dry as you drink....

 

It's here: https://www.thegrommet.com/whisker-dam-handmade-copper-mustache-guard

 

From The Giz Wiz.... The copper Mustache Guard is also on Amazon, but it's cheaper at The Grommet. (As of 10/18/16)

 

Also on Amazon is the MoGuard, a cheaper silicone version of a 'stache guard, $9.00, available in many colors.
