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

Our email this week is from Herb Lienau a loyal Patreon fan and first-time 'warehouse video of the week' sender-inner. (Hmm, is that really a phrase? Oh well, you know what I mean - it's the first time he's recorded a warehouse video for the show. We love when new viewers send us a video! Here's his email:

Dick & Chad:

I found a very inexpensive lamp that might interest you and your viewers.

Thanks, Herb.

From the Giz Wiz: Very interesting lamp! I bought two of them. Amazing value for under $7 at Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-LED-Gooseneck-Desk-Lamp-with-Catch-All-Base-AC-Outlet-Black/789690769   (Not an affiliate link.)

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: 

From: Michael Arnold
Subject: Last Week's Show and color punkins

Some people display teal pumpkins to indicate that their house is
food-allergen friendly, and that non-food treats such as glow stick or
stickers will be given out to trick-or-treaters instead of food -
which some kids might not be able to eat.

The Teal Pumpkin Project was first stated in 2014 by Food Allergy
Research & Education (a group dedicated to food allergy awareness)
with a goal to raise awareness of food allergens on a night when it
can be tricky to participate with a food allergy.

Some parents want to spread awareness of autism this Halloween by
turning their pumpkins blue, or having blue plastic pumpkin
containers. The idea is that it signifies that a person trick-or-treating might
require specific or different needs. Michael
