From playful smartphones to smart toilets, technology is getting intimate — maybe too intimate. Shane Hewitt and Kris Abel explore two new innovations that blur the line between useful and unusual: a smartphone from Honor that transforms into a tiny companion robot, and Kohler’s Dakota, a toilet-based health system that analyzes your… well, data.

The conversation dives into the creativity behind these designs and the bigger questions they raise about convenience, privacy, and how far people are willing to let technology into their lives. It’s an entertaining look at the future of gadgets that watch, learn, and talk back.
