0:00Matt and Austin introduce the leftover gadgets cut from earlier videos.
3:09Austin opens a GPX CD player and tries a Garth Brooks CD with budget headphones.
7:30A magnet-placement game challenges the hosts to keep the pieces from clumping together.
8:50An electric clipper test leads to an attempt to cover the shaved patch with hair-building fibers.
15:18The studio search uncovers RadioShack equipment and a 1986 Photon laser tag set.

Matt Ansini has a culinary description for the gadgets that didn't make earlier episodes: "We're giving you the cold leftover pizza of our videos." On This Is, that means a remarkably varied pile of unfinished business.

"Whoops, we got forgot about this" is the most watched of the channel's three new uploads, approaching 200,000 views. Austin Evans greets a GPX CD player with genuine enthusiasm and puts on Garth Brooks, before the testing moves through a magnet game, a giant Slinky and a rather questionable electric clipper. Shaving a patch of Matt's leg creates an opportunity to test hair-building fibers: an unusually literal attempt to undo the previous product demonstration. The episode includes a sponsored GameSir controller segment.

The studio rummage also produces a vintage RadioShack metal detector and a 1986 Photon laser tag set. In the comments, one viewer remembers owning Photon as a child, while others single out the crew member's theatrical laser-tag performance. The leftover-pizza analogy has its supporters too, with viewers taking sides on crusts and day-old slices.

November's "Am I The @$$hole?!" is now attracting the most daily views, though the gadget clear-out has the larger total. Its chapter list ranges from Skylanders for sale to Linux users and Blockbuster. A separate MSI and NVIDIA laptop ad completes the week's uploads, while October's "They Had This Coming" remains active behind the two longer newcomers.

Subscribers held steady, and daily viewing is below the channel's usual level. Among nearby gadget channels, cheapaudioman had a substantially bigger viewing week; This Is collected more weekly views than Luke Miani or David Manning. For Austin and Matt, the week's most substantial audience came from the products previously left on the cutting-room floor.

What viewers say

I had the Photon laser tag set as a kid. You had red and green. You could not shoot yourself. You need the green helmet to be able to shoot the red.

The crust is 100% the best part of a pizza.

The end of the episode turned into the SNL Dear Sister skit, but laser tag.

Props to Kinsy for that last few seconds of getting shot. The best bit of the video.
