In this episode, Barry and Bobby get real about family time, technology wins, and some of the heavy conversations that come with caregiving. Bobby shares a recent success pulling off a virtual medical appointment for his mom, complete with a how-to guide on making telehealth work smoothly. Barry then dives into the signs that it might be time to consider assisted living for a loved one — and they don't sugarcoat it. They finish up with a discussion about the real costs of assisted living, how to plan ahead, and even a surprise tech troubleshooting update about Barry’s iPhone call quality woes. (Hint: It involves Wi-Fi Calling playing ping-pong.)
