- Welcome back to the show.

Were you looking for birthday gift ideas

for someone you love?

Or perhaps you need something

to make your life a little easier.

Well, our tech expert CalebKinchlow is here to help.

Caleb, thanks for joining us.

- Hey, thanks for having me.

- Always like you being here.

Beautiful suit you got on there.

- Thank you, thank you very much.

This suit is called the X Suit--

- An X?- The X Suit, like X.

Like X Men, kinda.- Okay, sure.

(laughing)

- Well, this was actuallyoriginally a Kickstarter project,

and within one week,

they actually surpassed their goal.

They made over $300,000,- Wow.

- just in the support of making this suit.

So, I'm gonna talk about so much today.

First of all, the designfeatures first of all.

So let me show you.

Now, on the inside you notice,

you can see that there's actually three

very deep pockets for storage.

Which I think is a reallyexcellent addition.

Now, if we go to the other side here,

there's actually another set of pocket--

another pocket actuallyhas a zipper on it.

I don't know if you can see that.

I mean put you--- Very nice.

- Put your keys in there.- That's unusual on a sui--

- It is unusual, it's very functional.

And then, of course now,

this is-- it has a verynylon stretch of fabric,

so it's very very very very comfortable.

I mean, I can lounge in thisthing all day and just--

it doesn't even feel like--

- Have you worn one before?

- I have. I have, yeah--- You worn 'em out?

- I've worn this out.I've worn it to travel.

And it's just a reallycomfortable relaxed suite.

Almost feel like sweat pants, essentially.

- Would you wear it on an airplane?

Is it that comforta--- Exactly.

And speaking of that,

now, this is the key main features here.

This suite is odor, wrinkle,and liquid repellent.

- Wow.- All three of these thi--

- Is that why we have thisenormous tarp under it?

- That is actually why wehave the tarp (laughs).

- Which was a good thingbecause before the show,

when we walked out andthe orange juice spilled.

- It just spilled,

but I could've caught it andcleaned it up with my suite.

- And I love how we do it here.

It was that orange juice we had,

so someone had to borrow moneyand go to the vending machine

and get another orange juice.

So we're ready?

- We are ready.

So, speaking of being readyand just do the honors.

I have this glass of water for me.

- Now, you usually mess with me.

Make me drink dirt,

soil, and all that.- I know actually, we do that,

but actually this timeit's on me (laughs).

- What am I supposed to do?- Alright, so take the water,

you're just gonna pour it on here.

Just kinda-- just pour,

pour just so we can see

to the camera.- Alright.

There it goes.

- Do you tell me when to stop?- Yeah, right there.

Right there.- Look at that.

Bounces right off.- Bounces right off me,

you can just wipe it right off,

like that way.

- Let's do a little more here.

- Do a little more? Okay. Okay.

Go ahead and pour that on there.

- That's impressive.

That is impressive.- Yeah. See now--

- Ope, your shoes are also waterproof.

- Well, my shoes areprobably not waterproof.

- That's cool.

- Well, it can do thiswith orange juice as well.

- Oh here's the f--

Alright, we got the orange juice now.

- Orange juice and, of course,

we'll do coffee--- Same spot?

- You can do it up here,

just try not to--

- I'm gonna move back

just a little bit.- Yeah, just move--

Yeah, there he goes, there he goes--

Now can you notice how it just, it just--

- That is very impressive.- It just beads right up,

you can just wipe it right off.

Look at that, wow.

- Well, you never knowwho you will sit next to.

- Right, and first of all,

if you have that much orange juice on you,

that's a problem.

- I probably poured too much.

- (laughs) That's okay though,

because it just wipes right off.

- Got a little bit of it back here.

- Okay, we'll wipe that right off,

and of course you got the coffee.

And the pants, the pants arethe exact same thing here.

I don't know it I wanna just--

maybe pour a little more on the--

I'll do this on myself here.

This is just regular coffee,

just look at that.

Boom.

- That's impressive.

- Yeah, and you can just wipe it right off

and then you're good to go for--

- Now you promised me I was gonna--

You didn't promise,

but you set it up bysaying you're gonna be able

to spray mustard and ketchup on my suite,

and that stuff.- Yes, and you know,

you can use the mustardand the ketchup as well.

- That was a ploy to get the segment

and now we have no mustard.

- But, it does work.

I actually have tested myself

with mustard and different condiments.

So, it great.- Look it.

You can even tell.

- Yeah, and if you wanna touch that,

it's dry, perfectly dry.

- Sheesh.

And this'll run ya a fewhundred bucks at least.

- In terms of--

It's a couple hundred bucks,

but I mean--- 425 for the jacket.

- But, it's definitely a great,

ya know, great item to have.

- That's amazing.- For traveling.

- That's very impressive.

Very impressive suite.

And comfortable.

- Yes, very comfortable.

I mean, lounge in this thing

all day long.- I could use a napkin.

- You can use a napkin,

just kinda-- helpyourself get a little dry.

- Now, we didn't getany on the chessboard.

- (laughs) Okay.

So, this chessboard, Andrew, is--

It uses what's called telerobotics.

Now, telerobotics has to do

with the semi-autonomousmovement of robotic technology.

So, I actually have somefootage I can show you

of the pieces actually moving.

And the way it actually works is,

when I move my pieces,

right where my piece is,

you're playing against theartificial intelligence.

The pieces literally move just like that.

That's not just the commercial,

the pieces literally will do that.

- Now, who are you playing?

- Well, so, here's what'sthe cool thing about that is.

Is that, SquareOff has alsopartnered with Chess.com,

so you have 20 million peoplethat you can play against,

or you can also play against other people.

So, for example, like,

when I'm traveling my son and I,

we actually play this.

So, he has the board actually at home

and I use my little app here.

And then what we do is,

I play on the app and thenmy pieces begin to move

on the board at home.- Wow.

- So, it provides this kindof real world experience,

ya know, with the chess game.

In addition to that, there's also--

You can just practice with yourself

and just kind of get your skills up

playing against theartificial intelligence.

I think there's like,

five to nine differentmodes that you can play,

just to kind of get better.

- So you buy the chessboard

and then is there an app you download?

- Yeah, you buy the chessboard

and then there's an appyou actually download.

I'll show you here, this little app.

Ya know, pretty simple to use.

Very, very intuitive.

- Play chess with yourloved ones, your friends

or those you just wanna defeat.

- Yeah.

- From anywhere.- Yeah (laughs).

- And you're paying about 369,

370 for that.- 369 for this, yes.

- Beautiful.

Light bulbs here.

- Yes.- Alright, are these

really special light bulbs here?

- Okay, now, Andrew,

smart technology, smart light technology

is not something that's new.

However, this company LIFX has really,

in my opinion, just reallystreamlined the process.

And again, I have somefootage of this as well,

that we can actually take a look at.

Now, the thing about these different bulbs

is it gives you so much, so much acc--

so much details.

There's 16 milliondifferent colors in here.

Very granulass.- How many?

- 16 million colors.

16 million.

You can go really granular,

different kinds of effects and filters.

Different moods and settings.

You can simulate sunrise,

sunset.- So, that will program

the light bulb?- Yes.

And it's a free app,

you just buy the bulb.

You can get that from the website,

of course, like BestBuy and Walmart.

And there's also settings that you

can partner with other apps.

So, for example,

if it's gonna rain in the morning,

you're lights will flash blue.

So you're getting up, you just know,

hey the weathers gonna rain.

Or, if there's a red for likean emergency or something.

So, very intuitive light bulb.- So you can get

your weather report from your light bulb?

- Essentially, yes.

And that's what LIFX has done.

So it really did juststreamline the process.

- That's a--

You bought some cool stuff here.

- Thank you, thank you very much.

- Especially this suite.

- Yeah.- I'm standing

next to him here andeverything's like dry.

It's remarkable.

We thank you for being here.

- Yeah.- Until next time.

Appreciate you buddy.- Yeah, thanks for having me.
