Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 12/16/20 - Rick and The Golf Father Give their Top Golf Gift Picks

Rick is joined for this special iHeart segment for the week by Bill Cuebas, "The Golf Father."

Here, they talk their favorite golf items of 2020, that would make unique golf gifts.

Bushnell Wingman $149.99

Unleash your inner DJ on the course with Wingman. This new product combines high quality audio with the ability to receive audible GPS distances, conveniently mounts to your cart bar via BITE magnetic technology.

GolfLogix Green Books

Green Books give the average golfer the same intel tour players have in their back pocket. Using mapping technology with accuracy down to the centimeter, the rules-compliant Green Books distill sophisticated green-contour data into illustrated maps that are proven to help golfers of all ability levels. At only $40 each, golfers have ordered Green Books for more than 5,500 courses in the United States. Thousands of customers have since returned to order additional courses.

Every Green Book features three detailed graphics for each hole on the course. A full map of the hole provides descending yardages every 50 yards. The quick-view heat map features easy-to-follow arrows outlining the undulations to know exactly where to hit the ball on the green. The subtle changes in elevation and direction, often undetectable to the naked eye, are highlighted in a close-up third map. A quick glance will give you more confidence in your strategy and lead to better shots and lower scores.

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 11/25/20 - Rick and Axel talk their Favorite Gift Picks Under $100

In this iHeart special, Rick and Axel give their favorite items under $100 that would make great gifts!

Two great items in the Amazon Fire HD 10 and the BlendJet2.

Have a listen:

Amazon HD Fire 10 - $79.99

A powerful tablet that will come in handy. 10.1" 1080p full HD display; 32 GB of internal storage (add up to 512 GB with microSD)

Now 30% faster thanks to the new 2.0 GHz octa-core processor and 2 GB of RAM

Longer battery life—Up to 12 hours of reading, browsing the web, watching video, and listening to music

Hands-free with Alexa, including on/off toggle

2 MP front and rear-facing cameras with 720p HD video recording

Dual-band, enhanced Wi-Fi

Now with USB-C and faster charging.  Includes a USB-C cable & 9W power adapter in the box.

 

BlendJet 2

BlendJet 2 makes perfectly blended smoothies, shakes, margaritas, baby food and more on the go — and was even recently launched into space.

Big blender performance is now available anywhere from the kitchen countertop to a mountaintop.  

BlendJet 2 packs game-changing power thanks to BlendJet’s patented TurboJet technology. This new blending technology leverages offset stainless steel blades to create a tornado effect that blasts ingredients into the back of the jar 275 times per second, resulting in dramatically faster and better blending. BlendJet 2 makes smoothie-bar-quality beverages, silky-smooth protein shakes, top-shelf mixed drinks and creamy frozen lattes, plus milkshakes, slushies, baby food, dips, dressings, sauces and so much more.  

“I used smoothies and protein shakes to help me recover from a serious head injury,” says Ryan Pamplin, CEO of BlendJet. “I’m a lifelong entrepreneur, so as soon as I got better, I was driven to create a product that helps people live longer and healthier lives.”  

Smoothies at the ready!

When you’re on the run, you don’t always have access to fresh ingredients, which is why BlendJet created JetPack Ready-to-Blend Smoothies, developed in partnership with the culinary experts behind some of the most iconic beverages in the world. Each single-serving JetPack is loaded with the freshest fruits and veggies picked at peak ripeness and then freeze-dried, locking in all the flavors you love for a rich, creamy smoothie — no fridge required. Options include Banana Blueberry, Mocha Chia, Green Peach Ginger, Raspberry Dragon Fruit, Mango Matcha and Tropical Blue.  

BlendJet 2 comes in 16 vibrant colors with a design that compliments your style. It looks great on your desk or countertop and is a positive reminder to enjoy something delicious and nutritious every day.  

BlendJet 2 is water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about getting liquid in the USB-C port or accidentally submerging your BlendJet 2 in the sink or pool.  

Around $50. You can't do better than the BlendJet 2.

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio - Valentine's Day Tech

Axel is in for Sully this week as he is up in the Northeast celebrating a Patriots Super Bowl victory.



It's just days until Valentine's Day, and tech or gadgets of various types always make great gifts.
 
Rick and Axel look at some of the possibilities:



1.   SodaStream Fizzi One Touch - $129.99
www.sodastream.com


Eco-friendly and great tasting!
SodaStream prevents more than 3,700 single-use plastic bottles and cans from entering the waste stream to begin with. SodaStream presents a unique gifting experience for couples who love sparkling water but don’t like the space and money copious bottled waters take up.

With the SodaStream Fizzi One Touch, saving the world from plastic pollution has never been so easy – stylish – or refreshing. The sleek Fizzi One Touch is SodaStream’s newest model and carbonates tap water at the touch of a button. With three levels of automatic carbonation, you can perfectly customize your sparkling water and there’s no worry of accidentally fizzing all over yourself.
Try for 30 days... 2 year warranty
 

2. HEY Bracelet

www.heybracelet.com

With HEY you can send and receive a real human touch, no matter where you are. I saw this unique item at CES 2019 in Las Vegas and immediately thought of Valentine’s Day. The HEY bracelet lets you feel your loved one, no matter the distance. You get two bracelets, one for you and one for your sweetie! HEY bracelet is the first haptic bracelet that can send and receive a real human touch. Receiving a touch feels like a little ‘squeeze’ around the wrist and is comforting, instantly making you feel loved and closer to the person who sent it, no matter where they are. HEY incorporates advanced technology that communicates through Bluetooth with your smartphone. Your touch is transferred directly to the HEY app on your phone, and from there to the paired HEY bracelet anywhere in the world. The recipient will feel the touch as a gentle squeeze around their wrist. It’s a unique sensation, that can’t be compared to anything else. There is also a new HEY Touch coming out as well, that will let you stay “in touch” with even more friends. Order your pair of HEY bracelets for $115.
 


3. Cuisinart Automatic Cold Brew Coffee Maker: $99.95
https://www.cuisinart.com/prod ucts/coffee_makers/dcb-10/

Coffee the easy way!

Cuisinart's Automatic Cold Brew Coffee Maker introduces a new way to make authentic cold brew coffee – in as little as 25 minutes! Like traditional cold brewers, the Automatic Cold Brew Coffee Maker saturates coffee grounds in cool water, never exposing them to the high temperatures that release oils, which can create an acidic taste. Cuisinart utilizes a unique spin technology to circulate coffee through water for total flavor extraction in a fraction of the time manual brewers require, meaning that coffee is naturally smoother and sweeter.
