Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD.

Our email this week comes with a short video on the oldest gadget we ever used on the show.  Really old! Here's J. Fanta's email:

Hey Dick and Chad.  Love the show. Here's the oldest gadget I have You asked for old gadgets. Here's an old one. It's a stretch to call it a gadget but maybe you will get a kick out of it.

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 hting? 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 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live, I can email an autographed to you Alfred E. Neuman photo 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!
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Letter of the week!

Dick and Chad, we ordered this product a few months ago and have installed it in various rooms throughout our house. It is an LED lightbulb with three unique functions:
First, when your light switch is turned on it provides uninterrupted light in the event of a power failure. The onboard battery automatic turns on when the power goes off
Second, when your light switch is turned off, it automatically turns on. This is especially nice if you r power goes off due to an earthquake, tornado or fire because it lights an escape route from your home. And third, if you unscrew the bulb it comes with an attachment that allows you to carry the light around to use like a flashlight with an on off switch.

Please see the attached videos with more details.

Here's an ad for it: https://youtu.be/BW-Wz5Xz6i8
