The Giz Wiz (Audio)

Chad and Dick revisit the past year’s gadgets to crown the biggest letdowns, hype failures, and ideas that just didn’t deliver.

Frost-busting cold gear, a quirky pill popper, and a hand-warmer bonanza heat up the show, Chad’s Crappy Corner shines, and Dick digs into CES ’05 gadgets.

A handy mini tripod, a quirky Scotch tape dispenser, and a Zoom with a View gadget take center stage, Chad lights up Crappy Corner, and Mo’s warehouse find shines.

Fairy lights bring sparkle, a faux fireplace adds cozy vibes, a magnetic maze challenges the mind, Chad blows bubbles in Crappy Corner, and Dick’s warehouse delivers another gem.

We test a pen that’s trying very hard to be more than just a pen, check out a pet-friendly spin on a classic rotary tool, and warm up with a tiny heater that packs a surprising punch. Chad reviews a gadget that proves bathroom humor is unfortunately... alive and well.
