Show #1965 December 7th 2023
AMAZING! We start 19 of The Giz Wiz Show in February 2024!
The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006! If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you’d like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we have zero ads) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page. There’s a PayPal link there too. Thank you! www.gizwiz.tv.
A Fantasy Hotel Suite For The Kids! (& adults who love toys!!)
Wow, what a great idea. Book a hotel suite for you and the kids and enter the two room suite to find it filled with FOA Schwarz toys. Lot of them, including a running model train in each room! You’ll see me explore both rooms of this suite on this week’ show. Here’s more info about Omni Berkshire Place. It’s located on West 52nd Street between Madison and Fifth Avenue, near St. Patrick’s Cathedral, all the 5th Avenue shops and the Broadway theaters. The Omni says all rooms are equipped with in-house technology for uninterrupted connectivity. Our inviting bar serves shareable plates and desserts throughout the day. The price of the suite depends on so many things, dates, what you want in the suite from FOA Schwarz, etc. But a good guess is probably $2000 to $4000 a night.

Can’t Find The End Of A Roll Of Tape? This is for you
It’s the RollRanger, The Tape Edge Finder. Here’s info from the company. Stop struggling to find the edge of the tape! When the sensor reaches the lost edge of the tape, the LED indicator light will turn on. Use the scraper tool to lift the edge and separate the tape from the roll without splitting. Great for home, office, warehouse, moving, packing boxes, and shipping. Yes, but does it work? Watch this week’s show and see my experience trying the RollRanger. It was $10.99 on Amazon on 12/8/23.

Small kitchen? Here’s a real space saver!
This unique kitchen gadget set comes with 6 pieces which include: Cheese Grater, Bottle Opener, Fruit/Vegetable Peeler, Pizza Cutter, Garlic/Ginger Grinder, and Herb Stripper. Each gadget can be stacked on top of the other in any order and they lock together. Simply put them in your kitchen drawer, or hang them on the kitchen wall using the durable and removable locking ring. Or pack the whole set inside the included drawstring bag for storage. This set is also ideal for a boat, RV, or cabin. As low as $7.99 on Amazon. Be aware it seems the drawstring bag may not be included with the lowest priced sets. I paid $13.99 for mine, but I would have ordered the $7.99 set if I had seen I first. I don’t think the drawstring bag is that important.

Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3TfW4gT $13.99 This is the set I bought.
This seems to be the exact same set for $9.99. It doesn’t mention the storage pouch, but it’s cheaper. https://amzn.to/3t6EgKy

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for December. And that winning theme is “Cheap New Year’s Resolution Gadgets!
Since one of Chad’s New Year’s Resolution is to run a bit more in 2024, his first gadget pick is the LERMX Quick Grip Chill Flask Water Bottle Hydration Pack.
From Amazon: 500ml Soft Water Bottle & Handheld Hydration Pack including a 17 ounce BPA Free Soft Flask; suitable for all hand shapes with comfortable feeling. The soft water bottle can be taken out and cleaned conveniently. Keep hands relaxed with adjustable hand strap and thumbhole. The built-in pocket can accommodate cell phone smaller than 5.5 inches, keys, cash or other articles. It was under $18 on 12/8/23 on Amazon.
And Chad’s take: Chad likes this water bottle because the adjustable hand strap lets you keep it tight against your hand you as consume the water on your run. He was surprised that the storage area even let him have a place to carry his new iPhone. You’ll see this gadget and how Chad uses it on this week’s show.

Submit Your Gadget Warehouse Video & Win An Autographed MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show!
1. Video can be ANYTHING about a gadget: I bought a piece of crap. I bought a gadget I love. I have an old gadget I can’t part with because it was ‘high tech’ years ago! Even a ‘What The Heck Is It? Gadget.
2. Videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long in Horizontal Format! Low production value is fine, but we need to hear you and see your gadget clearly! You can be in the video if you like.
3. Post your Video on YouTube and click ‘unlisted’ when you upload it if you want, but not “Private” or we won’t be able to see it. Send us the URL link from YouTube.
4. If we show your video (and we show 99% of them) and live in the US or Canada you’ll also get an autographed current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of the US & Canada, I’ll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res image. 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!

Email of the week:
Subject: Heater recommendation.
From: Steve Johannesman
Guys, I’m not a record a video kind of guy but have a recommendation for a heating product.
I bought this ~2 years ago and use it on the floor under my desk to keep my feet warm. I love it because;
Uses less than 100 watts on high.
- Has 3 power settings. High gets to 120 degrees.
- Rolls up when not in use.
- Very thin and not a tripping hazard.
- Automatically turns off after ~4 hours.
- Only $20 on sale.
I know it’s meant for desktop use, but its way better on the floor. I’ve bought two for my sister in-laws and they bought them for other family members.
Regards; Steve Johannesman
