<v Speaker 1>KF I am six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp,

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey kids, how would you like me and Uncle t

4
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Bones to tell you a Christmas story?

5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Ding Dog.

6
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Twas just before Christmas, nearly eight years.

7
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Ago, and we were in studio just doing our show.

8
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Went out in the hall. There arose such clatter and

9
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I yelled in the mic, thank's the matter?

10
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>And what do our wandering eyes?

11
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Did appear a.

12
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 3>Man so handsome for radio and unbelievably thick hair?

13
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Did he write that?

14
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Mark Thompson exclaimed, Oh does this guy have a sister?

15
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.439
<v Speaker 2>And I knew in that moment.

16
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>He must be the house whisper Ding Dog.

17
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 2>With this guy, he sat down at the mic and

18
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 2>got right to his work.

19
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Doing talk radio without being a jerk.

20
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>The listeners were inspired with every word that he said, while.

21
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Visions ever remodels danced through their heads.

22
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>He arose from the mic and then all his new friends, we.

<v Speaker 1>dropped on the floor, and she's like, you want me

111
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 1>to get that. I'm like, no, now, I don't want

112
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 1>you to get it. You're the one who's supposed to

113
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 1>be laying in bed. So anyway, all right, babe, love you,

114
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>love you. We'll talk soon, okay. All right, So this

115
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 1>is what's going on today. We're gonna talk some decor

116
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 1>with Brian throughout the show. We're also going to have

117
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 1>some special guests when we come Can we turn off

118
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Tina sound because you know what, if she talks normally,

119
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna hear some cussing. We're gonna talk some decor

120
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>with Brian. I'm gonna have him set up the tree here,

121
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>set it up for you mentally before we go. When

122
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 1>we come back from break, I'm gonna have a very

123
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>special and up here with me. You just heard her

124
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>in the intro to the show, because Sharon Bellio was

125
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>with us this morning, and so Sharon and I are

126
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about the holidays a little bit and

127
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 1>have some fun while she's here, and we've got some

128
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>other fun guests coming as well. So, Brian, the tree,

129
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I talk about it all the time. I could read

130
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.279
<v Speaker 1>your spot right now. If you want, but I would

131
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>rather not do that. I just want you to tell

132
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 1>us why it, tell us what makes these trees so special?

133
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Why are you guys so passionate about these particular trees.

134
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 4>These trees we designed ourselves. So we're family owned and

135
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 4>operated retail store Christmas Store in the Valley and looking

136
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 4>out on the marketplace for the best Christmas trees. Because

137
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 4>everything we sell is the best quality. We just weren't

138
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 4>finding it on the market and we had to design

139
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 4>it ourselves. So for these we designed everything down to

140
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 4>the gage of the wire, the lights themselves. They're the

141
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 4>only trees where the lights are designed for Christmas trees.

142
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 4>Everyone else just uses a regular string. They wrap it

143
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.920
<v Speaker 4>around and the lights end up where they end up.

144
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 4>These the lights are shaped like a hand, so you

145
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 4>put a light at the end of each prominent tip, so.

146
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>The wire comes up hidden as it is, and then

147
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 1>splits out and ends up with a light at the

148
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.639
<v Speaker 1>tip of each major branch. Correct.

149
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 4>So even if you were a world champion Christmas tree lighter,

150
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 4>you couldn't do it this way.

151
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>And then well you can't do you just you can't

152
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.399
<v Speaker 1>do this with a linear stringline, right, Yeah, And.

153
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 4>Then what we do too is we designed it where

154
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 4>each branch has its own string. Because the lights themselves

155
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.840
<v Speaker 4>are not replaceable. What we've done is made the string

156
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.159
<v Speaker 4>as small as possible because things happen. I have a

157
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 4>crazy little dog, I've got little kids. Things happen. That's

158
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 4>just the beautiful thing about life is things happen.

159
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>And if a.

160
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.360
<v Speaker 4>Wire got cut or a light got broken, it would

161
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 4>only affect one branch. We give you a couple of

162
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 4>strings in the box, you could fix it quickly yourself.

163
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 4>And it's just the best way to own a Christmas tree.

164
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Because it's going to last and last and last. I mean,

165
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>it's got that durability to it. The other thing I

166
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 1>love about it, and this gets into some of our

167
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 1>decorating ideology, is the fact that since the lights are

168
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>all located at the tip of every branch, you could

169
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>leave a tree just like this, I mean it's gorgeous

170
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>just as it is, without any ornamentation on it whatsoever.

171
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Or you could literally, as you guys do at the store,

172
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 1>pack this thing with all sorts of ornaments and it

173
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter either way because the ornaments never bury any lights,

174
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>which always happens with a string light as well, So

175
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>when this thing is fully decorated, you guys will see

176
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 1>that all the lights are still visible. And it's little

177
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>things like that that just make all the difference in

178
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the world.

179
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:57.120
<v Speaker 4>And having enough spacing between the branches too, so most

180
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 4>online retailers those trees are really full and fluffy because

181
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.879
<v Speaker 4>they look good in photos. You can't see him in person. First,

182
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.519
<v Speaker 4>then you bring it home and you can't fit an

183
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.559
<v Speaker 4>ornament inside it. These we design them to have the

184
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 4>spacing so you can decorate it like a professional like

185
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:14.919
<v Speaker 4>Rosie exactly.

186
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 1>So we talked about that yes a little bit on

187
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 1>yesterday's show when I was talking about live trees, like

188
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>people who are buying live trees or real trees. The

189
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 1>fact that you've got to make a choice. You've got

190
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to make a choice between something like a Douglas fur

191
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>which looks just totally full and great, or a noble

192
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>fur something like that that is tiered. Right, some of

193
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>them are incredibly tiered, like super spars. And the difference

194
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>being knowing how you're going to decorate the tree, right,

195
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.039
<v Speaker 1>because if you're planning on putting big ornaments on a

196
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>Douglas fur, it's going to be problematic because you're literally

197
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 1>like shoving them into the branches. You got to trim

198
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:52.399
<v Speaker 1>it or you have to branches, yeah, to make room

199
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>for it, right, to make it like that. So you

200
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 1>guys have the advantage of being able to create fullness

201
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and spacing all at the same time. I love it

202
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 1>because the inner core of the tree is very full,

203
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>and then you've got select branches that are sticking out

204
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 1>from that fullness that leave just enough room for whatever

205
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 1>you want to do.

206
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:11.759
<v Speaker 3>Here.

207
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 1>There really is a huge difference when it comes to

208
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.759
<v Speaker 1>picking a tree. So this sounds like an Aldic commercial,

209
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's just and I hope you guys are

210
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 1>all following us over to Aldiko. In fact, I hope

211
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.159
<v Speaker 1>everybody who's listening right now knows that after the show

212
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>today from one to two thirty, we're going to be

213
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 1>over at Aldick and watching the craziness that's going on

214
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 1>over there, right and it is crazy town over there

215
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 1>right now. It's amazing that these guys are here, that

216
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.440
<v Speaker 1>we pulled them away from the store. But we're going

217
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to be over there just looking at the winter wonderland

218
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 1>that is Aldick when we get there, and you'll be

219
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>able to see just how amazing all of that is.

220
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, are we ready to go? Yeah, we're ready

221
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>to go. Here's the thing. When we come back from

222
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.399
<v Speaker 1>the I'm going to be sitting down with one of

223
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>my dearest friends here at the station, Sharon Belli. Oh,

224
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just so glad that you all here. You

230
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome home. Thanks for joining us on the program today.

231
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.159
<v Speaker 1>We're just having a really really casual show. I have

232
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>always put myself under this burden to share absolutely as

233
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 1>much information as I can get out of my brain

234
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.759
<v Speaker 1>with you about your home. Today is going to be

235
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of an exception to that rule, because

236
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.159
<v Speaker 1>today is like the one weekend a year that I

237
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>kind of take off from content. Just we're celebrating the holidays.

238
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>We're kicking off the holiday. Of course we're going to

239
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.200
<v Speaker 1>talk about We've already talked about some substantive things and

240
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>we're going to continue to do that, but more than that. Today,

241
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 1>we're going to take some time to talk to our

242
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 1>live studio audience. We're going to take some time to

243
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 1>talk to some of my dear friends, and I have

244
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>one of them sitting here at the table with me

245
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.919
<v Speaker 1>right now here. She is. Now you heard her voice

246
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:24.320
<v Speaker 1>in that little intro that she and Conway did for

247
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 1>me very graciously at the beginning of the show. She's

248
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>really the brains of the outfit. I think you can

249
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:36.519
<v Speaker 1>all know that. Oh goscha, everybody. Sharon Bellio, thank you

250
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>so much.

<v Speaker 4>It's so fun to be here.

252
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Buddy, thanks for inviting me. Oh my gosh, this is fun.

253
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I was so honored when you said you could make

254
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>it up here because you live down in oc Yeah.

255
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 2>I live in Irvine, so it's an hour drive. But

256
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday mornings you get here in like a half

257
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>an hour.

258
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 1>So it's true that would be nice, but it's still

259
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a Sunday morning for you to come out.

260
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:54.559
<v Speaker 5>It's okay.

261
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>It's beautiful out and it's so nice to see everyone.

262
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 2>This is a great turnout. And there were delicious burritos

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.200
<v Speaker 2>were were there?

264
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Oh you didn't get any? No? Oops? Who did

265
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the burritos? Michelle, is there a spot I'm supposed to

266
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.759
<v Speaker 1>read to acknowledge the burritos? Okay, I'm going to acknowledge

267
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the burritos shortly. Okay, they were good.

268
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:16.120
<v Speaker 2>How are you?

269
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:17.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing really well?

270
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm ready for the Christmas, the holiday season.

271
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>How do you guys celebrate Christmas? Well? Oh, here here's

272
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 1>a better question. How do you celebrate Yeah? How do

273
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you celebrate Christmas now? And how did you do it

274
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>when you were a kid, And what's the difference.

275
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>We Honestly, the traditions were really strong when we were young,

276
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, Italian, Irish, Italian family decorating the tree. One

277
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:42.879
<v Speaker 2>thing I have an issue with now that.

278
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Are you telling me that the Irish and the Italians

279
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>have strong opinions on things? Very very conflicting too.

280
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.440
<v Speaker 2>One thing I wanted to bring up about the tradition

281
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 2>was when I grew up, you know, you had Thanksgiving

282
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.759
<v Speaker 2>and then the day after Thanksgiving you.

283
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Put up the Christmas tree.

284
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, people like putting trees up a little earlier, and

285
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 2>so it's a big debate in my house because I

286
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 2>would like to put the tree up a little earlier

287
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy it longer. But my husband's like, no, one

288
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.000
<v Speaker 2>holiday at a time. We'll put it up after Thanksgiving.

289
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:15.639
<v Speaker 2>But I was at a party last night and they

290
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 2>have what they call fall trees up where they put

291
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 2>the clear lights, and yeah, like like you know different.

292
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Fall that's what we do, do you? Yeah, when did

293
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 1>you put it up? When did you start that up? Well? Well, okay,

294
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>because of Tina's surgery, Yeah that was that, you know.

295
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>And I said, okay, we gotta get a jump on it, right.

296
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 1>And I used to be in the other camp when

297
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I was young and staunchly opinionated. Are we getting feedback

298
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.279
<v Speaker 1>between these bikes? Okay? I used to be at the

299
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>other camp. I'm like, I'm not going to give into

300
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>this commercialism just because Costco has Christmas trees in mid October.

301
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>And now I'm like, when are the trees coming to Costco?

302
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 3>Right?

303
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Because I am ready. I have lived enough decades now

304
00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 1>where it's like, you know what, I'm ready for some

305
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>holiday cheer. So what we do is we we first

306
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>we kind of scatter the whole autumn thing around. Right.

307
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll go down to the local farm and the vegetables

308
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>stand there. We'll bring home a bunch of pumpkins and gourds,

309
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and at Underwood Farms out in More Park, we grab

310
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 1>corn stalks, bunch of the corns, so we'll just like

311
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.200
<v Speaker 1>spread those all over the place. So there's your autumn thing.

312
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And then last week I put up all the lights

313
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.320
<v Speaker 1>on the house and there we got a tree, an

314
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>outdoor tree that sits in the in the backyard and

315
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>it's just clear, clear, white, just white, you know. And

316
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>my neighbor Rodrigo, came across the street. He's like, Dean,

317
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing. Man, it's like two weeks before Thanksgiving.

318
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 1>People are very I got to get the jump on it.

319
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.879
<v Speaker 1>But he decorates really well too, and I think he

320
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.039
<v Speaker 1>thought I was racing him, and I'm like, no, I

321
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.919
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do that, bro. I explained to him

322
00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:59.759
<v Speaker 1>that Tina was gonna have surgery, and I just got it,

323
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I gotta get this all out of the

324
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 1>way first. But I kind of, I really, I'm all

325
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 1>for it now. I'm all for it, you know, the

326
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.359
<v Speaker 1>idea of like why not, why not?

327
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Why not just bring such joy and like comfort to people?

328
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>And I know I was at a party last night

329
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.200
<v Speaker 2>in her house was all decorated for autumn and had

330
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.279
<v Speaker 2>the trees, like you said, with the gores, and they

331
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.160
<v Speaker 2>were like painted silver and it was gorgeous. But the

332
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.359
<v Speaker 2>guests were divided, like, no, you can't do that. But

333
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>then you know, after Thanksgiving she'll put the colors on

334
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 2>and the ornaments, and I'm like, why not, it's.

335
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>So beautiful, Yeah, exactly. So our lights are up now.

336
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 1>The Christmas garland isn't up yet, but the lights are up,

337
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 1>and there's the pumpkins are still laying out right, so

338
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it's still very autumny, just kind of a bright, sparkly autumn.

339
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 1>And we don't have our tree the tree yet. But

340
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the interesting thing. If you go ahead and actually

341
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.039
<v Speaker 1>put ancillary stuff right, you start getting into the mood.

342
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:55.119
<v Speaker 1>And we're still build into it. I think we're still

343
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:57.960
<v Speaker 1>going to hit the tree right after Thanksgiving. Yeah, right here,

344
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.079
<v Speaker 1>because like the tree farm that we love to get

345
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.799
<v Speaker 1>our tree from, they don't even they're not even open

346
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>until the day after Thanksgiving. So I can't even get

347
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that tree right now because we get a live tree

348
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.720
<v Speaker 1>and so but it's not like we're missing out because

349
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.119
<v Speaker 1>everything is there and then things will transition and that's

350
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.920
<v Speaker 1>so that's one of the lessons today is that it

351
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can layer

352
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>in Christmas layering in one of you know, I say

353
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.079
<v Speaker 1>it all the time on the show. And by the way,

354
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.480
<v Speaker 1>this year, I'm committed to getting this done. I am

355
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 1>committed to getting a video series of Tina and I

356
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and some others walking through Disneyland doing the The House

357
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Whispered Design tour of Disneyland. We're going to put up

358
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 1>a series of videos. But one of the things that

359
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Disney does really well at Disneyland, right, Tina and I

360
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:51.759
<v Speaker 1>were there two three weeks ago. A few waths were up,

361
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.079
<v Speaker 1>the snow was on the castle, the lights on the

362
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.880
<v Speaker 1>castle were just white. Yea, not the whole multic you know.

363
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>So Disneyland layers it in, layers it in all for that?

364
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Are you all for that? The layering in kind of Yeah, let's.

365
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Do the Christmas creep. That's what we're after, the Christmas

366
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:15.279
<v Speaker 1>creeping of the decrees. Yet it the Christmas creeping, all right.

367
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I got so much more to talk to Sharon Bellio

368
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.400
<v Speaker 1>about and we're gonna do it when we come back.

369
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Your Home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper.

370
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to Home With Dean Sharp on demand from

371
00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:30.599
<v Speaker 3>KFI A M six forty.

372
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Dean Sharp, The House Whisper At your service, you have

373
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 1>stumbled upon the annual House Whisper Holiday home show with

374
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:44.079
<v Speaker 1>a live studio audience coming to you live from the

375
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>KFI studios in Burbank, California at the helpful Honda Lounge.

376
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.640
<v Speaker 1>And we were just spending some time talking to Sharon.

377
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Sharon is still with me, Sharon Bellio from the Conway Show. Yes,

378
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.880
<v Speaker 1>thank you. This is my morning to just have fun

379
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.079
<v Speaker 1>my friends. And so if you tuned in for tons

380
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.119
<v Speaker 1>of home advice, stay tuned because it's more interesting than

381
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.400
<v Speaker 1>normal because there's less of that and more of my

382
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>friends like Sharon bell You. But one question that I

383
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:17.319
<v Speaker 1>was literally just talking to our studio audience about and

384
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 1>it was time to get back on the air, and

385
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you know what, So somebody asked if there

386
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 1>was anything special that our families did around the holidays

387
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:30.359
<v Speaker 1>and that made them, you know, exceptionally special. And my

388
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>answer was yeah, but not anything beyond what you guys

389
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:39.920
<v Speaker 1>would all know that the idea of like, hey, have

390
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:43.119
<v Speaker 1>some good meals together, spend time with family together, you know,

391
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:48.759
<v Speaker 1>open a present on Christmas Eve. And you know, one

392
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:51.279
<v Speaker 1>of the things that I hope that I communicate on

393
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:57.319
<v Speaker 1>the show all the time is this concept that homes lives.

394
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:01.200
<v Speaker 1>They're built with very small pieces by brick. Not that

395
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:05.319
<v Speaker 1>we build homes with brick in southern California, please do

396
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 1>not do that. But they're all built piece by piece,

397
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and then you step back one day and you're like, wow,

398
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.400
<v Speaker 1>look at that, Like we got a whole house here,

399
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.799
<v Speaker 1>and it looks great, right because we put in the effort.

400
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.559
<v Speaker 1>And that's really the discipline of craftsmanship. By the way.

401
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not just oh, what an amazing artist that person is,

402
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>or Hey, how gifted they are with their hands and

403
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.920
<v Speaker 1>how they do this or that. The real challenge of

404
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.799
<v Speaker 1>craftsmanship is the ability to do that amazing thing ten

405
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.559
<v Speaker 1>thousand times in a row. Because that's what goes into

406
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:40.759
<v Speaker 1>making a house, right. It gets kind of banal and

407
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.960
<v Speaker 1>mundane at moments, and you just got to remember what

408
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 1>it is that you're doing and what you're working toward,

409
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:49.039
<v Speaker 1>and you make every nail count, and you make every

410
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.079
<v Speaker 1>cut count and all of those kinds of things. So

411
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:56.119
<v Speaker 1>the point was that it's always the little things that count,

412
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and for us, our big secret, if there is one,

413
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 1>is that the sharps just keep showing up even when

414
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.559
<v Speaker 1>we're not invited. We just keep showing up. We just

415
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.039
<v Speaker 1>keep showing up for life. And So what I was

416
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.160
<v Speaker 1>about to share and now I'm going to share on

417
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the air for everybody, is this very simple truth. I

418
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 1>think it is that because life is made out of

419
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>these tiny bits, really tiny bits. And of course there

420
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:27.519
<v Speaker 1>are mountaintop moments, sure, but mostly life is tiny bits

421
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.160
<v Speaker 1>of things, one after the other, day after day. Design.

422
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:36.920
<v Speaker 1>As a designer, I am keenly aware of this. The

423
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.759
<v Speaker 1>whole concept of a design, no matter what you are designing,

424
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:48.759
<v Speaker 1>whether you're designing homes, designing interiors, designing landscape, designing radio shows,

425
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:54.680
<v Speaker 1>designing any form of art, designing anything right, designing your life.

426
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>The very essence of what design is is a manifestation

427
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of intention. That's what it is. Design is intentions formulated

428
00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:09.480
<v Speaker 1>and made manifest into the world. Right, so someone looks

429
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:12.599
<v Speaker 1>at it and says, oh, whoa wow. You know, and

430
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:16.279
<v Speaker 1>in a good design you can see that intention. You're like,

431
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:21.640
<v Speaker 1>we intended this to have this effect, right, And and

432
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.319
<v Speaker 1>I think that's that's what I link as a designer

433
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.799
<v Speaker 1>in my life just sort of life philosophy to showing up.

434
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I just keep showing up right and every day imperfectly, incredibly,

435
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>imperfectly and hit and miss, but you just keep having

436
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:42.359
<v Speaker 1>intentions for the day, having intentions for your life, having

437
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:46.200
<v Speaker 1>intentions for what you're doing, and you keep plucking away

438
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.200
<v Speaker 1>at it, and before you know it, you can kind

439
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 1>of erase some of the mistakes and highlight the you know,

440
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:54.319
<v Speaker 1>the wins, and you keep building on the good stuff

441
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and editing out the bad. And then one day you

442
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:58.799
<v Speaker 1>step back and you're like, wow, we've built ourselves a

443
00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:02.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty beautiful life out of this and it's working for us. Right,

444
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>That's really That was really the heart and soul of

445
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 1>why I ever wanted to do this show. And anyway,

446
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.039

<v Speaker 1>Really, yeah, you know what there's this Okay, I'm going

459
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to share this on the air. The second thing I

460
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 1>probably learned in radio from Robin when she was teaching

461
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 1>me about all of this, because I was so new

462
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 1>to it and no clue what I was doing. Was

463
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 1>She's like, you know, we have this little inside joke

464
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 1>and radio. Why do we call them listeners? That's the question.

465
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Why do we call them listeners? And I'm like, I

466
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.119
<v Speaker 1>don't understand what that means. She's like, you will, you

467
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 1>will understand. So, like a faithful fan of the Conway

468
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Show calls and says, stop it with the he haws.

469
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:21.759
<v Speaker 1>It's like, are you listening to you? Listen to the show.

470
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.839
<v Speaker 1>I've literally gotten emails from listeners who have said, Dean,

471
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 1>listen to your show from day one, day one and

472
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>love your show. We've been listening to you for almost

473
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:38.680
<v Speaker 1>eight years now. I'm just wondering, do you intend a

474
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:46.440
<v Speaker 1>dude design on this side? Yeah, yeah, we do, we do.

475
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:49.440
<v Speaker 1>It's incredible, it's amazing.

476
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 3>They missed that.

477
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:56.319
<v Speaker 1>So all right, so I know this about you. You

478
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 1>actually worked with a Conway before you worked with this Conway.

479
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I did.

480
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I worked with the I worked with the iconic Tim

481
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Conway before I met Tim Conway Junior.

482
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:11.759
<v Speaker 1>How wild is that? That's pretty wild with both. How

483
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:13.319
<v Speaker 1>many years was that before you met Tim?

484
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.720
<v Speaker 2>You already looked up on IMDb? What year was that?

485
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I forget? I was like ninety seven or something.

486
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, ninety seven. There was a movie called Dear God

487
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.240
<v Speaker 2>with Greg Kannee you that they worked in the post

488
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.039
<v Speaker 2>office and they were getting letters to Santa and so

489
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>was it just Santa?

490
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it was. He was like a con man

491
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:33.480
<v Speaker 1>who got community service.

492
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.359
<v Speaker 2>And he had post office and so they they got

493
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.559
<v Speaker 2>this group together and they were answering all the emails

494
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:41.519
<v Speaker 2>and helping out all these people. And Tim Conway was

495
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.200
<v Speaker 2>in this movie. And I got the part because I

496
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.960
<v Speaker 2>knew Gary Marshall, the incredible talented Gary Marshall, and he

497
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 2>gave me a part. But Gary works where he just

498
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 2>would walk up to the table and he's like, all right,

499
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.160
<v Speaker 2>you're talking, you're talking, and then somebody's gonna come in.

500
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.920
<v Speaker 2>He just wanted you to improv everything, and so I

501
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 2>had this scene in this cafe and Tim Conway was

502
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 2>doing what he does best, and he's just improving stuff

503
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm on a phone and he comes up and he.

504
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Grabs the phone for me.

505
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:12.759
<v Speaker 2>It ended up getting cut from the movie, but I

506
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 2>was able to work with Tim Conway. And then another

507
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.799
<v Speaker 2>time I was producing the Lakers broadcast and Tim was

508
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.400
<v Speaker 2>doing a Tim Conway was doing an episode of Yes

509
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Dear with former Governor Gray Davis, and at halftime they

510
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:27.440
<v Speaker 2>did a scene on the court and so I went

511
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:29.680
<v Speaker 2>down and I asked him to come on our halftime show.

512
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:32.599
<v Speaker 2>And my dad huge fan, like everyone, a huge fan

513
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.359
<v Speaker 2>of Tim Conway. And I said, would you call my dad?

514
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:37.440
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, sure, yeah, get him on the phone.

515
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So I called the house and he's in the bathroom

516
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:41.640
<v Speaker 2>and so I'm like, get him out of the bathroom.

517
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Tim Conway's on the phone, and so Tim Conway spoke

518
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.839
<v Speaker 2>to my dad for like five minutes. So I have

519
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 2>a picture of Tim Conway on the phone with my

520
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 2>dad and he was just the sweetest man that he

521
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>could ever meet. And then flash fast forward, did I

522
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:57.359
<v Speaker 2>work with Tim Conway Junior? How wild is that?

523
00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:59.240
<v Speaker 1>That is wild. By the way, if you look up

524
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.119
<v Speaker 1>your IMDb it says flame. It's really lame. It says

525
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 1>that you're you're undercast for for that movie. You were

526
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:11.319
<v Speaker 1>cast as regular customer.

527
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a regular customer that ended up, you know,

528
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 2>being cut from the regular customer.

529
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 1>You are anything but a regular customer. I will tell

530
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you that right there. Oh my gosh. So what's the

531
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 1>what's the most unique thing about working with Tim or

532
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>just doing the show? Well, here's here's what I gotta

533
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:35.319
<v Speaker 1>say this, guys. You know, you guys know that I'm

534
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:39.920
<v Speaker 1>on with Tim every like Thursday Thursday. Yeah, that we

535
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:47.359
<v Speaker 1>do say they were They have been so embracing, so kind,

536
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:51.839
<v Speaker 1>so generous. Tim is an amazingly generous broadcaster. He's the

537
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:54.359
<v Speaker 1>And what I mean by that is that for somebody

538
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 1>so iconic, right to share the mic with so many people.

539
00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>And you think about all the shows here and I'm

540
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>not so not dissing anybody else here at KFI, but

541
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>of all the shows on KFI, you guys have the

542
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:07.880
<v Speaker 1>one show where there's an entire cast of characters. Every night.

543
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.160
<v Speaker 1>You're on the air all the time. You know, Croze

544
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:12.599
<v Speaker 1>is on the air all the time.

545
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Angel And Yeah, Fush is the most inclusive person I've

546
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:18.880
<v Speaker 2>ever worked with, you know, because he finds everyone around

547
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 2>him more interesting to talk to. He'll like, on the break,

548
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>go down to the kitchen and come back with somebody

549
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:26.680
<v Speaker 2>and you know, have him tell your story, tell him

550
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>about your shoe that just broke. And I don't know

551
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.720
<v Speaker 2>how he does it. He makes it sound really you know,

552
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:34.400
<v Speaker 2>exciting and important, like, well, what happened with the shoe.

553
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>He's just he does that. He invites all local media

554
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:39.559
<v Speaker 2>to come on his show. He's not worried about competition.

555
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:42.759
<v Speaker 2>He just he wants the interesting story told. And that

556
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:44.920
<v Speaker 2>is like so unique in this business.

557
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:46.240
<v Speaker 1>And he's been so good to me.

558
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 2>You guys, well, he has a lot of respect for

559
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:48.920
<v Speaker 2>you and.

560
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:51.359
<v Speaker 1>What you do. He just he's a fan of DIY

561
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:53.079
<v Speaker 1>and that kind of thing. He's like, you're gonna get

562
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:53.720
<v Speaker 1>him on the show.

563
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, whenever he runs into what problem we got to

564
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.519
<v Speaker 2>get DNA.

565
00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:59.519
<v Speaker 1>On and and so we talk and then after I

566
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.119
<v Speaker 1>go off, he just keeps talking. He's like that guy,

567
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:07.799
<v Speaker 1>that guy, he's such a liar. All right. Anyway, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>kind person and one of my dear friends here at

596
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:03.839
<v Speaker 1>the station, and so she was very very kind to

597
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>come on. So hang out. We're going to talk to

598
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.519
<v Speaker 1>these two core guys and if you have a question,

599
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:17.400
<v Speaker 1>chime in. Brian Gold from al To Combe and Mida Meda, Mida,

600
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 1>all right, Mida, you guys got to share that, Mike.

601
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 1>So during the first couple of segments of the show,

602
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:27.119
<v Speaker 1>they've been decorating this seven and a half foot Christmas

603
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.400
<v Speaker 1>tree here, an amazing looking tree that we're going to

604
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:32.960
<v Speaker 1>give away to somebody out here before we're done today.

605
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>But the point is this, Okay, I see, I see

606
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of swirly things coming out, and we got to

607
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:43.799
<v Speaker 1>describe this because it's radio, you know, and there's all

608
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>sorts of ornamentation, but it's sort of like their their

609
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:51.279
<v Speaker 1>clumps of ornaments that are almost on branches and they're

610
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>swooping at different angles. Talk to me about the theory

611
00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 1>or the ideology of decorating a Christmas tree. How do

612
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you appro what's you know, because I know you're the

613
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>wizard at Aldick who is in charge of all of

614
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:05.640
<v Speaker 1>this stuff.

615
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so I thought, you know, this morning, we could

616
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.000
<v Speaker 6>do something a little bit more fanciful. You know, with

617
00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:15.400
<v Speaker 6>the different textures that we have at the store. We

618
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:18.160
<v Speaker 6>do offer a lot of traditional you know, the reds,

619
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:22.079
<v Speaker 6>the greens, and beautiful trees decorated in that way with gold.

620
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:23.799
<v Speaker 6>But you know, I thought, you know, we could do

621
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:26.799
<v Speaker 6>something a little bit different. So we have these great

622
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:29.400
<v Speaker 6>garlands that Rosie has put in. And Rosie's one of

623
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:33.519
<v Speaker 6>our talented designers. I can think it up, but I

624
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:38.200
<v Speaker 6>can't do this, and so she is awesome at doing

625
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:41.319
<v Speaker 6>all of this for us. So she started with the

626
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:46.880
<v Speaker 6>garland and it's you can wire that in and some

627
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:50.599
<v Speaker 6>people use ribbon, but we use the garland for this

628
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 6>tree and incorporated color with these textured glitter stems that

629
00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:01.000
<v Speaker 6>we have. And she's just starting to play some butterflies

630
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:01.480
<v Speaker 6>for us.

631
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>So one of the things I've noticed that you guys

632
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.079
<v Speaker 1>do that a lot of beautiful it's true of a

633
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of beautiful trees, is that you've got the conical

634
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:14.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of plane of the tree, right this shape, that

635
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>triangular cone shape. But you guys never hesitate to break

636
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:23.159
<v Speaker 1>that wall, as it were, with stuff that's like leaping

637
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:27.119
<v Speaker 1>out from the tree, whether it's whether it's feathered branches,

638
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:30.480
<v Speaker 1>whether it's reeds, whether it's like sparkly things like this.

639
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:33.119
<v Speaker 1>So the tree is filled with and we got it, Richie.

640
00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:35.159
<v Speaker 1>We need to put some of this up on social

641
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.599
<v Speaker 1>so that people can see it. But yeah, so there's

642
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the cone of the tree and then there's all this

643
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:43.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff sticking out of it, which I don't know, a

644
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of people just don't don't have the courage to.

645
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.360
<v Speaker 6>Do that, I don't think, right, And I think that's

646
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:49.480
<v Speaker 6>the great liberty at the store. You know, some of

647
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.280
<v Speaker 6>these trees are just for show. And you will see

648
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.880
<v Speaker 6>some nine foot upside down Christmas trees that we have

649
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.960
<v Speaker 6>at the store, and it's not for everybody, but it's

650
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.840
<v Speaker 6>definitely you know, it's a wild kind of tree. And

651
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:04.519
<v Speaker 6>we have designers that come in from New York and

652
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.840
<v Speaker 6>Florida to come help us design these trees.

653
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:11.519
<v Speaker 1>So I've had people say that an upside down Christmas

654
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:15.199
<v Speaker 1>tree is sacrilegious, and I've had to say, Okay, can

655
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.199
<v Speaker 1>I just clarify that Christmas trees have no direct tie

656
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:23.239
<v Speaker 1>in with any religion whatsoever, first of all, and secondly,

657
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:26.800
<v Speaker 1>if you live in a small space, and now it's

658
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.239
<v Speaker 1>one thing we used to you know, you guys are

659
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the first ones who've ever done this that I am

660
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:35.039
<v Speaker 1>aware of. But for a lot of clients we used

661
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.760
<v Speaker 1>to take and we'd have to retrofit a regular tree,

662
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.199
<v Speaker 1>which is difficult to do to hang it upside down

663
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:43.039
<v Speaker 1>from the ceiling. You guys, don't actually hang your trees

664
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.960
<v Speaker 1>from the ceiling. You actually have designed a tree that

665
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 1>people can buy that's on its own stand, but it's

666
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:50.360
<v Speaker 1>upside down with.

667
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:53.800
<v Speaker 4>A specil thin heavy they're nine feets all in all

668
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:56.280
<v Speaker 4>the weights at the top. But it's still super secure

669
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.960
<v Speaker 4>and right, so super awesome tree.

670
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So why would you use an upside down Christmas tree

671
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:05.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're not just a you know, like a decor wacko. Okay,

672
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:11.239
<v Speaker 1>here's why you would use it. Space savings, an upside

673
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:14.880
<v Speaker 1>down tree takes up all of its space on the ceiling,

674
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:17.519
<v Speaker 1>and by the time you get down to the floor,

675
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:20.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just this one little thing, all right, and then

676
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.920
<v Speaker 1>all the presence can go around. It can fit all

677
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.239
<v Speaker 1>around it without taking up any more space than a

678
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:29.840
<v Speaker 1>standard tree. Okay, And you can decorate an upside down

679
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:35.719
<v Speaker 1>tree really wildly because gravity makes things look different when

680
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:39.000
<v Speaker 1>they're hanging upside down from well, they're not hanging upside

681
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:43.119
<v Speaker 1>now when they're hanging from an upside down tree. So yeah,

682
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a bold maneuver. But that's one of the things

683
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you can get it out. You can actually buy a

684
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:51.599
<v Speaker 1>pre designed upside down Christmas tree. And I'm telling you

685
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:53.360
<v Speaker 1>if you live in a little apartment or you've got

686
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a tight little space, you know, and once you see it,

687
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:01.159
<v Speaker 1>you realize, oh it just it feels it feels right,

688
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it feels good. It's not like it's like, oh am

689
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I living in like a batman villain's layer. Year you know,

690
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.519
<v Speaker 1>it's not a weird thing. Does it sound like a

691
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:11.159
<v Speaker 1>weird thing? Do you use?

692
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:13.599
<v Speaker 2>When I initially saw it, it was like what are

693
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:15.559
<v Speaker 2>they doing? But yeah, you get used to the idea

694
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.199
<v Speaker 2>and I agree with you a small spaces.

695
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.480
<v Speaker 1>It's just another way of presenting your tree. Yeah, it's

696
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:25.079
<v Speaker 1>really really wild. And then you guys leave gaps. I mean,

697
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:27.400
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of trees at the store when

698
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:30.079
<v Speaker 1>there are no gaps whatsoever. In fact, this year, Brian

699
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Brian was telling me earlier I was at the store

700
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:34.599
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago, and he's like, oh, in

701
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:36.599
<v Speaker 1>this tree, Dean, we haven't done this one for a while.

702
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.599
<v Speaker 1>Which is a tree that you can't see the tree

703
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:39.880
<v Speaker 1>at all.

704
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:40.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

705
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Right, it's literally just ornaments. Just there's a tree in

706
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>there somewhere, but somewhere. And so you guys decorate them

707
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:52.480
<v Speaker 1>very fully, but quite often some of the elegance is

708
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.800
<v Speaker 1>like holding back and letting some negative space show up

709
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:58.159
<v Speaker 1>in a tree. And so the idea that you've got

710
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:02.320
<v Speaker 1>these I don't know how I would call them kind

711
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:07.719
<v Speaker 1>of almost fountain drops of ornaments in clumps down the tree,

712
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and then right next to it on both sides you've

713
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:12.400
<v Speaker 1>got exposed green. It's really beauty. Do you guys think

714
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a good looking tree? Yes, it's a good looking tree.

715
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:20.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're gonna come back to our decor experts

716
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:24.079
