It's the third anniversary of this show and it would have been 20 years of ZDTV/Tech TV. Kevin and Leo talk about working for the cable channel and hear from Becky Worley, Patrick Norton, and Megan Morrone. Plus, Martin Sargent makes a surprise visit.

We talk about the big Artificial Intelligence announcements from Google I/O like Duplex. And next year Boston Dynamics will start selling its SpotMini robot. Leo already wants one.

Dale Baskin joins us from DPReview.com to talk 360º photography. We'll find out how the platform is growing and get their recommendations on the latest line of cameras.

So you are interested in buying cryptocurrency but don't know where to start or where to keep it? Kevin Rose shows us some hardware options for your wallet and explains the risks and pitfalls to look out for.

Jason Howell spent the week at Google I/O and brings us his favorite tech from the sandbox tents.

Leo and Kevin answer a Call for Help about finding a good email provider alternative to Gmail.

In the Mail Bag, Leo recommends a wireless security camera.
