Show #1961 November 9th 2023
AMAZING! We’ve in year 18 of The Giz Wiz Show!
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.
Need A Nice Wide LED Desk Lamp That Doesn’t Require A Lot Of Desk Space?
Here’s one I really like because it’s a big lamp that takes up almost no room to mount on your desk! Opps, there’s a change. The lamp I demo on this week’s show will most likely be out of stock by the time you read this. But I found a similar one for a much lower price! It’s the JACKYLED LED Desk Lamp also with a space saving clamp mount. Sensitive-touch Controls for dimming and color changing are right on the shade. Choose 3000K warm /4000K neutra /6000K cool white color changing. Stepless dimming from 10%-100% brightness makes this an ideal task lamp for home office, college dorm room, etc. $24.99. 25% off coupon as on 11/10/23. That means it like $19.99 or so. An amazing deal to my mind!

Desk lamp in the video was down to one available on Amazon on 11/7/23 https://amzn.to/3Sqb1MY About $35.00.
Amazon: https://amzn.to/49sngPk – similar & lower price than the lamp above – About $20 if the coupon is still there.
Another possibility, this one has the controls on the power cord, but if the 40% off coupon is still there, it will be about $18.00! https://amzn.to/3u4vf4G

A Chad Extra!
Chad said, you may not need this unless you’re an avid Minecraft fan. And Chad has more than 1.5M of them on his Minecraft Channel. (Link below.) It’s the MINECRAFT GREEN CREEPER FIGURAL MINI FRIDGE THERMOELECTRIC COOLER. If you think Minecraft is cool, you’ll like this 2-foot-tall Minecraft Legends Creeper Mini Fridge, ready to serve you and your fellow gamers a cold drink. It keeps your favorite beverages chilled to the perfect temperature so you’ll never have to step away from your mining and building adventures again. With two separate compartments, this compact refrigerator lets you store snacks up top and sodas down below or vice versa. You’ll see Chad do a bit of wrestling with shelves to get as many cans in as the ad says, but overall he likes it. It wished it was a little less than the $100 at Target. Well, I found it on sale at Walmart for $55.00 as of 11/10/23

Folks loved the magnetic shelves I showed recently, here’s another handy one!
It’s the ETECHMART Shower Caddy Organizer – a convenient expandable bathroom shower shelf with an adhesive mounting. So there’s no drilling, or suction cups that never seem to work right. You get two sizes 17.13’’ and 16.54’’. The transparent adhesive makes the shelf sturdy as you’ll see on this week’s show. And the companys says it can store up to 15 pounds of heavy items. Made of 100% 304 stainless steel. Kit includes 2 x Shower Caddies, 3 x Adhesives, 4 x Hooks. I paid $14.99 on Amazon and I like these a lot.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for November. And that winning theme is Cheap Gadgets That Look Like They Shouldn’t Work!
And Chad’s second gadget that looks like it shouldn’t work s is the Brago Handheld Bladeless Mini Fan
From Amazon: Innovative bladeless design, gives off strong airflow without fast-spinning blades, safe for kids or pets and easy to wipe clean. Don’t need to worry about the potential risk of the blades anymore. 3 Adjustable Wind Speeds: just switch the 3 speeds by pressing the power button repeatedly. Available in 3 colors.
And Chad’s take: Bladeless? Well, sort of. Chad explains and shows us that it’s not really bladeless. Chad also found it’s a bit on the loud side and what did he say about that logo on the fan. You hear and see it all on this week’s show. Chad paid $14.99 on Amazon.

Email of the week:
Blue Green Yoshi emails us about the Plufl Human Dog Bed.
Dear Dick and Chad,
I was scrolling through the latest news on my phone and was shown an ad for this product. I had never heard of a dog bed made for humans before. I thought you and Chad would get a kick out of it. Also, it was featured on Shark Tank according to the website.

Yours in jocularity, Chad Masters
