Barry experiments with a new recording setup while he and Bobby catch up on family, caregiving, and—of course—technology. Barry shares the saga of helping his dad navigate the real estate market (finances, Zillow, and chasing unicorn houses), while Bobby talks about exploring fall-detection tech for loved ones. The conversation flows naturally into Apple’s latest features—fall detection, gait monitoring, hypertension detection, and how an Apple Watch can be a caregiving lifeline.
The two also riff on sleeper features like Apple’s Focus modes—why they’re underrated, how they work across devices, and how they can keep interruptions at bay. With plenty of practical advice and humor, this episode is equal parts caregiving reality check and tech geek-out.
