PETER SAGAL, HOST:
In just a minute, we're going to ask our panelists - now that we've heard about clear jeans and mud jeans, what will be the next innovation in jean technology?
But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Progressive Insurance with the Name Your Price tool, offering a range of coverage and price options to choose from. Now that's progressive - more at progressive.com or 1-800-PROGRESSIVE. Lumber Liquidators, a proud sponsor of NPR, offering more than 400 styles, including hardwood, bamboo, laminate and vinyl, with flooring specialists in hundreds of stores nationwide, more at lumberliquidators.com or 1-800-HARDWOOD. And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, dedicated to the belief that all lives have equal value and working with partners to help envision a world where every person has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life at gatesfoundation.org.

AMY DICKINSON: Mom jeans for men - elastic waistband in the back, padded fly in the front.
SAGAL: And Tom Bodett.
TOM BODETT: Subliminals from Calvin Klein. You'll only think you're wearing pants.
(APPLAUSE)
