This week’s viewer video is quite unique.
It started with a very short email with just a link to a YouTube video. I don’t click on links if they don’t come with some sort of explanation, so I emailed Gregory and asked what the video was? He said it was a video for Dick’s Gadget Warehouse.
I watched the video and found that Gregory Ackerman invented a tech gadget. Not only did he invent it, he produced it, had packaging made, and then sent working product to various tech websites. And it got reviewed.
Then what happened? Be sure to watch this week’s show to find out!

How To Submit Your Video For The Gadget Warehouse & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
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.
Our email of the week is once again from Mo Torres our most loyal and frequent contributor.
Mo send us a link to what seems to me a bizarre gadget. Not only that, I, Chad and the chat room thought the price will be a deterrent to all but the fairly wealthy. Take a look at their Kickstarter video on this week’s show.
Mo emails us:
Would you Dick or Chad wear this?
PS: Do you think they would let me use this in the NYC marathon? (No, Mo, forbidden, also explained a bit on this week’s show.)
