This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

From Collideroscope and IHeart Podcasts, this is Tech Stuff. I'm Osvaloshin. And I'm Kara Price. And you may be able to tell from both of our nasal voices that it's the holiday season. It's that time of year. And we're bringing you a special holiday episode. That's right. We are bringing you a rundown of the best tech gifts to give all the people in your life from your in-laws to your frenemate.

We're going to hear what the New Yorker's internet culture columnist, Kyle Chaker, recommends.

And I will be reviewing the present I gave to myself this holiday season,

the meta-rayband glasses.

All of that on the weekend tech.

It's Friday, December 19th.

Hello, Kara. Hi, Oz. How are you? Other than a little bit nasal? A little bit nasal, but otherwise, very excited for the time of you. Love holidays. I love the holidays. It's ding, ding, ding, ding. I'm curious. When you gear up to go gift shopping, do you look at gift guides for inspiration, or do you just, like, go for it? You know, I don't have kids, so I have three people to whom I gift.

I like you, but on the other hand, I like gift guys because I like to know what's up. I also like to know what other people are interested in. Exactly. You know what I think that like there's... It's a good distillation of the culture. I think absolutely it's a distillation of the culture and I think it's sort of a nice year in review. Absolutely. Have you heard of something called the Next Playground? No, I have not. I had neither. But it took the number one spot for Amazon's toys and games category on Black Friday. Oh my God. It's basically been out of

stock since then because there's so much demand for it. And what is it? It's a console. It's a gaming

console, but with no controllers. So it basically looks like a Rubik's Cube that lives under your TV.

And it has a camera. And the camera basically watches you, and it connects to the TV.

So the TV becomes a game screen, and you're playing in augmented reality.

You're basically like moving shapes around.

So it's like family AR.

It's family AR, and kids are absolutely obsessed, and they're dancing around in front of the TV moving shapes on the screen.

And parents love it because feel slightly less guilty watching their kids stiggling around in front of the TV than they do just locked into the phone.

That actually does appeal to me because my obviously device of choice is a phone, which makes me completely sedentary.

Imagine all the fun of your phone on a big screen.

That's amazing. That's amazing.
