Baby, It’s Freaking Cold Outside!

And the Camoland Winter Beanie w/Visor & Earflaps fleece hat and scarf set makes it way more bearable.

The hat is made with 30% wool + 70% acrylic. The neck scarf is soft and stretchy, making it easy to put on. Suppressible earflaps, whatever they are, do offer great protection for your ears in cold weather. And the curved shield visor keeps your forehead away from rain, snow, and even sunlight in the winter sun. Reviews on Amazon are impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars from more than 5800 reviews. I like this set a lot! I bought a spare just in case I misplace the cap or scarf. The price for the set is under $20.00! The hat alone is available for $16.99 as of 12/27/25.

Did you know there’s such a thing as a Pill Popper Tool?

Chad, like the rest of us, finds popping a pill out those plastic covered sheets of pills is difficult to almost impossible. Thanks to this gadget he found you can say goodbye to struggling with pill packaging. Just place the pill popper over the pill and squeeze it closed. The pill is pushed out the bottom the device into the built-in storage box. You’ll see a complete demo on this week’s show. Another plus, is that this little gadget to inexpensive. Chad paid under $6 for his, but when I looked for it on Amazon, I found more than a dozen variations. Some even cheaper than what Chad paid.

It’s been really cold in New York City this December. We had 5 days where the temperature never went above freezing. I love those little packs of hand warmers you open, shake, and then put in your gloves. They give off heat for many hours, advertised as 8, 10, 11 and even 15 hours. But I find that the little hand heat packages start to crinkle inside the gloves as you move around and do things outdoors. I wondered if someone made gloves with a place to hold those little heat packs and I found the HotHands Glove Warmers. They’re sold by the same company that makes the HotHands mini packs, and they’readvertised as “Stretchy and Comfortable with Built in Pockets for HotHands Hand Warmers. One package of the hand warmers is included with the glove warmers. As you’ll see in the video on this week’s show, they’re more complicated to use then I expected. I paid $11.99 on Amazon for a pair of the glove warmers mid-December 2025. UPDATE: On 12/27/25 the price was $10.25, but that can change at any time.

It’s December, and Chad’s Cheap Theme, voted on by our loyal Patreons, is Cheap Holiday Stocking Stuffers. Chad’s final stocking stuffer is the Makeid Q1 Label Maker Machine.

Chad found this small and very clever label maker. It makes 300dpi mini labels that the company says: “delivers sharp, smudge-free thermal prints that stay readable for up to 3 years.” On this week’s show Chad’s demos how easy it is to customize labels. You can connect this Bluetooth label maker to your iOS or Android device using the MakeID-Life app. The app offers 300+ stickers, 60+ borders, 20+ fonts, logos, QR codes, and pre-designed templates to create unique labels quickly. It seemed a great buy to everyone, priced under $10, which includes a roll of printing tape!

Mo Torres, our most loyal fan and frequent contributor to the show, has been doing an incredible favor for me. He’s taken more than 100 old VHS videos of shows I’ve been on and started digitizing them. He’s provided me with copies on a hard drive, but he’s also put them on a private YouTube Channel. Every week he uploads one or two of those videos for his subscribers to enjoy. Mo’s web url is: https://www.youtube.com/@mtandiz

This week on the show we  look at some CES gadgets. No, not from the upcoming CES 2026, but from CES 2005! Yes, amazing gadgets, which are not really all that amazing 26 years later!
