Show #1928 Week of March 23rd 2023
AMAZING! We’ve starting 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 no ads) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: www.gizwiz.tv
The huge Toy Fair 2023 which fills all of Javit Center in NYC has been moved back from February to the fall, but this month there were two smaller toy events which The Giz Wiz attended. The first one, was Play Date, and this week, we finish up with more fun toys found at the Time To Play Magazine Toy Event.
You know Bluey, the cartoon dog from Disney, but you not know the new Bluey Dance Mode Bubble Machine Microphone! Designed with kids in mind, the Bluey Dance Mode Bubble and Sing Microphone is designed to help children learn with bubbles. (Hmm, how does that work? Oh, I know, you learn how to have fun!) The voice-activated bubble microphone – magically blows bubbles and lights up when you sing! (Or even talk into it.) Just dip the wand in solution and sing into the top of the microphone to activate the bubbles. Includes 4 fl oz of Fubbles bubbles which are non-toxic. Requires 2 AA Batteries, not included. Ages 3Y+ MSRP: $29.99.

Giz Wiz Fom Home!
When I saw “New from Föm Mania” I had to see it! It’s called the Quickshot Fom Blaster! The company says it jets out streams of thick, fluffy foam up to 10 feet! It has fast-flinging Fom with pull-back action! It ships with 4 fl oz of Föm concentrate, non-toxic tear free formula. It’s just ‘pump & blast’, no batteries required. Föm Mania solution is worry free foam fun – no harsh chemicals, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, biodegradable, and it dissolves and disappears in minutes. Designed for kids ages 5 and up, the Quickshot Foam Blaster can blast up to 30 shots of foam with each fill and is great for having foam wars in the backyard. The concentrate is enough to fill the blaster eight times! The Quickshot Foam Blaster will be available for $12.99 at Meijer and Amazon. I saw it online for $12.99, but there was $7.99 shipping. Amazon has what they call an ‘exclusive’, a pack of two for $29.99.

Chad’s Crappy Corner.
Chad’s Crappy Corner and his new theme for March as picked by our loyal Patreon friends is Spring Gadgets For The Yard.
Chad’s 4th Spring Gadget is the Muffpro Bluetooth Hearing Protection Ear Protection, Noise Canceling Earmuffs for Snowblowing, Mowing, Construction, Etc.
First, info from Amazon. As a professional hearing protection manufacturer, we have used our experience to construct double thickened noise-dampening foam for 9001XB Hearing Protector that effectively blocks noise. SNR 36dB. ANSI S3.19 (US) CE EN352-1(EU)certified. Perfect for mowing, snow blowing, construction, woodworking, and other noisy environment. Wireless or wired: Bluetooth 5.0 mode and AUX input mode create an almost unbreakable link between your Bluetooth headphones and device. (3.5mm audio cable included) A single charge 4 hours gives you a full 24 hours of listening. Built in microphones enhance call quality and block out background and wind noise.
And Chad’s take: Chad liked these a lot. Watch this week’s show to see how they look on him. He does point out the noise reduction is not ‘active’, but comes from the padding and tightness of the headphones to your ears, so after a while they might feel tight against your head. He also wished they charged via USB-C, not micro-USB. Chad said he paid $29.99, but he saw they were $39.99 when we recorded the show. But when I uploaded this info, the price had dropped back to $29.99. But that price can change at any time.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Our email this week is from our most loyal and frequent contribution Mo Torres.
Mo writes: Hey guys –
Look at our new, manual tech item.
It’s the HOME X 3 in 1 Hand Manual Crank Paper Document – Credit Cards – CDs DVD Shredder.

Mo
From the Giz Wiz: Watch this week’s show to see this gadget in action and get tips on using it. One big tip from Mo is: it’s a ‘both hands on’ gadget. You have to hold it with one hand, while you crank it with the other hand. But Mo’s wife, Ivette says it pretty easy to crank.

How To Submit Your Video For The Gadget Warehouse & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. 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! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
