Sometimes a gadget comes along that sweeps you off your geeky feet. Also, it's not very often that a curiously upholstered SUV comes along and crashes into the podcast like a wrecking ball. Today we bring you all of the above in one episode.

It’s so obvious! We all know that we’re supposed to unplug our appliances when we’re not using them – and we know that plugging/ unplugging is a pain and also potentially damaging to the cord. So – how about twisting the outlet to make it go on/off? Genius!

Hi Gadgettes,

I found these today from a link on Reddit and became flabbergasted. I thought I knew what pants were until this. I cannot even begin to imagine what segment this would go to.

They make them for women too.

I can’t decide if this is best for Bling RX, Tool Time or What The
Hell? All I know is my mind is melting a little reading about the SUV
with whale penis leather interior and gold-plated bulletproof windows.

Actually, Peek does have an email+texting device that could be a viable alternative to a cellphone if someone wants a cheap device/plan and no voice access. Their other devices make more sense than the TwitterPeek device, which I think is just a cheap "shot" at trying to make money off of the twitter crowd.

Peek isn't a completely stupid and inane company though, as stated by you all during the show. It isn't their only product, though agreeably, it is the dumbest.
