We start with something that might be a new feature on the show from time to time.

Are the photos of gadgets you see online real, or enhanced, maybe even by AI?

Look at this the LED USB Cable that is described this way: ‘looks like it’s breathing!’

It’s the Fast Charging ULIKTO Led Light up Cable

The company says it’s: Durable and Sturdy TPE material and portable, after being rolled up. (Yes, it’s difficult to carry a 6.6’ long when it’s totally stretched open.) The USB-C LED charging cable will show a beautiful RGB LED effect like breathing on its own. Due to shining cool rgb led effect, especially in the darkness .So it easily decorates your room, cool and unique.

We spoiled with the photo! It’s the Macaloca Ultimate Stress Relief Fidget Spinner!

Here’s what the company says about it: Unlike conventional stress toys, the fun creative fidget stress ball is designed to provide the ultimate smooth, satisfying spinning with a simple press-and-spin action. The high-speed motion and rhythmic “whirr” sound provide instant sensory relief and help redirect restless energy in seconds.

From the Giz Wiz: I got a lot of fun playing with the one I bought, but I’m not sure how calming they’ll be. There sure is a lot of ‘action’ while using them. They can spin fast, sometimes travel on a surface and they make noise. Watch the video to see. They come in a variety of colors and each one is $9.99.

But, we bought the Misting Windmill!

Five Below says: “Stay cool and refreshed with this innovative misting windmill, perfect for outdoor fun.

The size of the device is: 9.19in x 7.89in x 3.56in. With misting multi-color LED mood light.”

I’m not sure why they say ‘outdoor fun’ because I think breezes and light winds will affect how it works. But when I used it indoors, it was kind of interesting. Actually in winter, I think it might add a bit of mist to the dry air. I paid $10 at my local Five Below, but it’s $15 online and not available for shipping. But you can order it online and Wow!, “ready for pickup in 6 hours!”

Chad’s Cheap Gadget Theme, as voted on by our loyal Patreons for August is “Chad’s Favorite Cheap Gadgets!”

Chad’s final favorite cheap gadget is the Hoover CleanSlate Plus Portable Carpet + Upholstery Spot Cleaner Machine.

Chad says he loves this machine and with both dog and cat pets it comes in really handy. You’ll see all features he’s likes in his Cheap Spot report on this week’s show. He also likes the Hoover Carpet Cleaner Solution because it works well and is priced below the competition. Best of all he said he paid under $99.99 on Amazon for it. He showed us that there is an updated version of this machine and as of 8/28/26, it was still at the $99.99 price.

I find a gadget from 20 years that Chad wishes he could buy today!

It’s the Doomsday USB Hub!

It looks techie, and features numbered toggle switches, plus- for safety, an on/off ignition key. You must flip the toggle switches by following the number sequence on the device. Then urning the key “arms” the device. Then you lift the plastic safety cover, cross your fingers (optional) and press the red button. Pressing that button is supposed to deliver some amazing SFX, but it’s kind of anti-climatic after all that prep! But the device still look great and it’s still fun. It’s from 20 years ago and ThinkGeek marketed it. The four 2.0 USB inputs work independently of the ‘blast off sequence.’ It sold for $60.00. At some point an ungraded version featuring USB 3.0 is supposed to have been introduced, but I could not find any place to buy one, new or used.
