In this grab bag episode, Barry and Bobby cover everything from scams and digital hygiene to emotional moments in caregiving. Barry opens up with a story about learning the hard way that being “right” isn’t always helpful—especially in caregiving situations. They debunk the overhyped 16-billion credential breach, share essential password and scam-spotting tips, give an update on DMV ID changes, and dive deep into how fear often hides behind our need for control. Barry wraps with a reflective story inspired by a bicycle ride and some programming wisdom that unexpectedly applies to caregiving.
