00:00 Hey everybody welcome back to Tech-Talk
00:02 I’m Jeff Bromley and I’m Rob Barra and
00:03 we’re here with our special holiday
00:05 gift-giving guide of really the things
00:07 that we want to buy for our kids we had
00:08 a lot of fun doing this video last year
00:10 and we wanted to bring it back but we
00:12 want to make sure that the message from
00:15 last year’s video is absolutely still
00:19 clear to you do not under any
00:22 circumstances buy those stupid password
00:25 books that they sell on
00:28 the check lane of every store well
00:32 hold on you can just don’t
00:34 write your password down in if you are
00:36 going to buy this book why would
00:38 you do anything other than write hey
00:40 here’s my bank information right there
00:42 well you don’t do it
00:44 bad idea know if you get one of these
00:47 and you do decide to use it please write
00:49 in code please then they’re not gonna
00:51 remember it okay fine all right well
00:54 what’s the next thing on a holiday
00:56 gift-giving so the best thing now we’re
00:58 gonna tailor this because you know we
00:59 have Jeff and I both have children right
01:01 around the same ages we’re gonna talk a
01:02 little bit about what if you were in our
01:05 shoes what you should get you for your
01:07 kids so the first thing that if you have
01:10 a teenager or above you’re gonna want to
01:12 pick up a pair of Apple’s new AirPods
01:15 Pro these things are absolutely
01:18 incredible I bought a parent literally
01:20 the first day that I could and aside
01:22 from being in a new little form factor
01:24 they’ve got a neat little earpiece
01:26 that can be sized it doesn’t
01:28 actually fall out of your head it has a
01:30 neat little thing called noise
01:32 cancellation and for when you don’t want
01:35 to listen to your kids or your kids
01:37 don’t want to listen to you you just put
01:39 them in and you can’t hear anything is
01:45 he talking cuz I don’t hear you well
01:47 normally you tell me I don’t understand
01:49 what you’re saying I’m sure alright AirPods
01:51 Pro fantastic get AppleCare it’s
01:54 really good and if you lose one it’s a
01:56 lot cheaper to replace them these things
01:58 cost about $250 so you definitely want
02:01 to do that another one of our favorites
02:03 that we’ve talked about in the past that
02:04 we’re gonna talk about again today in
02:06 something that both Rob and I have is
02:08 the Apple watch we think these are
02:11 phenomenal version I think there were
02:13 the fifth but even if you’ve got an
02:15 older version of it these things are
02:17 amazing you know the sales
02:19 especially right now absolutely so these
02:21 things are wonderful you don’t even need
02:22 a phone to pair with anymore so if
02:24 you’re an Android user you can still get
02:25 one of these they have their own app
02:27 store they’re really a great piece has
02:29 full protection and everything else like
02:30 that so that’s actually a good point so
02:32 I know last year I bought one of these
02:35 from my mother because I was always
02:36 afraid of her falling and you know I
02:39 wasn’t with her or someone wasn’t with
02:41 her her phone is normally near her so
02:43 this actually has
02:44 fourth-generation has something called
02:46 fall detection built-in and if you fall
02:49 it will detect that with the
02:52 accelerometers that are built into it
02:53 and it’ll actually ask you hey did you
02:55 just take a fall and if you don’t answer
02:57 it’ll actually call 9-1-1 and with
02:59 built-in GPS and things like that it
03:01 really could save your life so it’s a
03:03 it’s a great piece of hardware not to
03:04 mention in terms of saving lives the EKG
03:07 function that is that it’s built into it
03:09 can also you know can also diagnose a
03:12 couple different versions of
03:14 febrile from a-fib yes that’s right
03:17 we’re not doctors sometimes we pretend
03:20 to be them but we’re not doctors okay
03:22 and then last but not least and this is
03:24 Rob’s absolute favorite one now this is
03:26 you don’t have to get this version this
03:28 is the special Pokemon nation and Zan
03:31 Ascentia edition of the Nintendo Switch
03:33 light this thing is fantastic so I
03:35 picked up one of these when the new
03:37 Pokemon game came out and my children
03:40 immediately tried to start stealing it
03:42 from me it is a fully functional
03:44 Nintendo switch it does not plug into a
03:47 television and it does not have
03:49 removable joi cons so it’s great for the
03:51 car it’s great for trips it’s great too
03:54 for even for you to steal and bring
03:56 along with you on your business trips
03:57 fantastic games available for this thing
04:00 and if you have any shiny’s you want to
04:03 trade me just put me on and that’s all
04:07 we have for this holiday edition of Tech-
