Show #1949 Week of August 18th 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.
Oh, Boy! Another show w/ two What The Heck Is It? Games….Plus a What The Heck Is It from Mo Torres!
If you watched the show, the first WTHII gadget was the CarryAround Fold Away Cup Carrier.
If you ever go get coffee for yourself and others, like at the office, then this is a handy gadget for under $10. The CarryAround fold away drink cup carrier opens to carry 3 or 4 cups. And it’s small enough to be kept in your pocket or bag when not in use. You unfold it to the left or the right depending on if you’re picking up coffees or drinks for 3 or 4 people. The company says it fits all standard coffee chain cups, Starbucks, Dutch Bros, Country Style, Seattle’s, Tully’s, Peet’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, Tim Hortons, Pizza Pizza etc.. ideal for the office! PLEASE NOTE: 2.95″ (75mm) diameter holes. So please check cup dize before purchasing. MSRP $9.99, which is what I paid. Cheaper if you buy 2 or 3 in different colors.

One Pair of Sunglasses = 7 Ways To Shade Your Eyes
It’s the 7Shade Polarized LCD Sunglasses. With two buttons on the right side of the sunglasses, you can select from 7 different tint shade levels. With the “light” & “dark” buttons it’s pretty easy to have control of your light. The 7Shade LCD Lenses are said to be UV and Anti-Glare protected. They’re battery powered by a small cell battery in the frame which is already installed when you get them. They’re not the most trendy frames, but as you’ll see in my video on this week’s show, they do change the sunlight intensity quite well. Be sure to check the Amazon reviews too. They’re very mixed. (Hmm…it looks like the same box, but mine says 7Shade. Everything else seems the same, except mine is missing the reassuring “As Seen On TV” logo.)

Another “What The Heck Is It?” Gadget
It was sort of hard to guess, but it’s the TYIUHELAS Fly Fan! They repellent flies and other annoying flying bugs with soft-touch blades that are flexible, but not fragile. For safety’s sake, the blades will immediately stop when they contact an object and resume working once it is removed. They’re portable, just put 2 AA batteries in the case at the bottom of the fan. (Batteries not included). The company says the holographic pattern on the blade refracts light as it rotates, creating an unnatural environment for insects to fly away from, and bugs and flies to avoid and stay away from your area. There’s also a hook at the bottom to hang the fan upside down. MSRP: $42.00, but they were selling for almost half that price, about $21 for 3 of them on 8/18/23.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for August. That winning theme is “Cheap Gadgets As Seen On Shark Tank”.
Chad’s 3rd Cheap Gadget As Seen On Shark Tank is the Scrub Daddy Self- Standing Soap Dispensing Dishwand
From the company: FlexTexture foam head is soft in warm water and firm in cool for more cleaning power. Scratch-free on common surfaces including glass, non-stick, cast iron, copper, and stainless steel.
And Chad’s take: Chad liked this. He thought the fact that it was free standing with a self-draining base meant he could just leave on his sink. But how does it work. Watch this week’s show and she Chad actually put it to use.
From the Giz Wiz: It’s available directly from the company here:
https://smileshop.scrubdaddy.com/product/dish-daddy $8.99, plus shipping

Letter of the week:
Daniel emails us with the subject: Cat Carrier
His email:
I remember a ways back that Chad had mentioned a new style of pet carrier that he bought and liked. I think it might’ve opened from the top? Any chance you might have a link to it?
Daniel
From the Giz Wiz: Chad couldn’t remember exactly which clear backpack cat carrier he bought, but he found the Amazon page with dozens to choose from. Chad said his cat actually like the backpack because he can see everything while being carried.
