Now here this! (Sound effect.)

Every since I did “The Xcuse Machine” on the Giz Wiz I've been getting suggestions for other sound devices. I bought them on Amazon and here they are!

Here's some of what Amazon says about: The Sound Machine: Sound effects to enhance your daily life! Sprinkle your conversations with a burst of canned laughter, a round of applause or a wa-wa-wa-waaaaah. You will soon wonder how you ever managed without a perfect push-button wolf-whistle, a raspberry, or a fanfare and drum-roll on demand. Quality sound-bites in a sleek, pocket-able machine including: applause, laughter, boos, wrong answer, ka-ching, drum roll, comedy punchline music, whistle, scream, and many more. Entertain friends with hilarious gifts and gadgets that will crack them up! Product Dimensions: 4.5 x 7 x 1 inches ; 1.6 ounces. $12.25. Amazon Prime.

DickDe's Take: For the price this is pretty good. You should know that the sound effects are very short, some lasting a couple of seconds. But if you're talking on the phone and want to add a few of these to a dull conversation, they just might help. Or if you're doing a podcast, this would be perfect. Listen to this show and judge for yourself if the sound effects added anything.

Blah Blah Button. Here's some of what Amazon says about it: The Blah Button is the hilarious gag gift that recites 12 different vocal variations of the phrase "Blah, Blah, Blah!" This fun toy is perfect for use when the need arises to put non-stop talkers, "know it alls" and pathological liars in their place. Whether buying for yourself, a co-worker, family member or just one of your friends; the Blah Button is a funny gift that's designed to say it like it is: "Blah, Blah Blahhh!" The amusing Blah Button jokes around in tense situations. and makes a great bosses gift for work, birthday gift, college gift for school or desk gift stress toy for the office. Under $10.00 and Amazon Prime.

Dick's Take: I don't have to nerve to use this in the office, and use it “in tense” situations? “Okay, buddy, this is a stick up”.... Blah, Blah, Blah, naw. I don't see using it, but it seems to be a big hit over at Amazon and it sure broke Chad up as you'll see when you watch this episode.
