The Giz Wiz (Audio)

Chad and Dick celebrate the Best Of 2025, revisiting the standout gadgets that impressed, delivered, and earned their place on top.

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.

We shine some light on a festive little decoration, stumble onto a cable that somehow exists and solves a problem we didn’t know we had, and Chad bravely battles a teeny-tiny craft kit.

We try out some clever little tools designed to make tasks way less annoying, puzzle over another what the heck is it, and wrap things up with quirky wearables. Plus, Chad finds yet another way to question his life choices. Meanwhile, Chad dives into a gooey disaster from Five Below.

This week on The Giz Wiz, we check out a gadget that turns up the heat in any room, explore a kid-friendly AI companion, and crank things up with JBL speakers. Meanwhile, Chad finds everlasting dough.

We test out a toothbrush that does all the work for you, play around with a new mic setup, and light things up with a flashlight. Chad gets artsy in his Crappy Corner.
