    Dick Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video & Win An Autographed MAD Magazine.

    Our email of the week is from a long-time fan Jeffrey Slomovitz. At first I thought this was a video Jeff made himself, but it's not. We decided to still use it and send Jeff a MAD for finding it. It's an interesting update on the VW vinyl record player Chad found last month for his “mimic gadgets” month theme.

    Here's Jeff's email:     

     

    Subject: Rokblok portable record player

     

    Good Evening Sir,

     

    I watched your last show where Chad showed the VW record player bus. I remember a few years ago a new updated version was highlighted on Shark Tank. In fact one of the Sharks not only invested in the company, he bought the entire company. It is called the “Rokblok” and the biggest difference is - it does have an internal speaker, but it is also Bluetooth.

     

    I included the link below. Thank you, Jeff

    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.

    All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

    Email of the week:

     

    This week's email is from Ryan Knopp and it's a bit of info about the Butter spreader from last show. It is the Cuisinart Stainless Steel Butter Wheel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M6ZVKJR/?tag=097-20&ascsubtag=v7_3_3_2q15_5e98_0_x01_-srt1  

     

    Ryan's Message: When I worked in fast food during high school 22 yrs ago we had that same thing. You can butter biscuits and bread and things very fast. Not sure if it's needed at home though.

     

    From the Giz Wiz. I guess that old clique 'everything old is new again' is true!
