Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for October. And that winning theme is Things That Glow In The Dark.
Chad 3rd gadget that glows in the dark is the GLO-X Glow in The Dark Night Markers.
Via Amazon: Avoid injury from falls or bumps in the dark with the World’s most powerful glow makers The marker will glow for up to 12 hours. No longer afraid of darkness, perfect idea to decorate both boys and girls rooms, suitable for all ages. Illuminates vital items at night Perfect for light switches, doors, seatbelt buckles and more. Leave in natural light to charge (no batteries needed). 5 round and 5 square glow markers per pack. Easy to apply with adhesive Velcro dots (included). $14.95
And Chad’s take: Chad liked the glow of these markers and he provides a nice demo of how they work on this week’s show. But he didn’t like the Velcro adhesive dots provided to attach them. You’ll see exactly why he doesn’t like them when he puts them to the test.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Our email this week is from two very loyal fans and fun warehouse video contributors, Jeff and his son Adam. They email us:
Good Evening Gentlemen,
Recently Adam and I were visiting our local library and were happily surprised that aside from books, movies, and magazines they also allowed us to borrow a different type of STEM item.
We both had a lot of fun playing with it. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the product on Amazon. I included a similar product below. Love your show, hope the audience enjoys it as well.

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!
