<v Speaker 2>Sharp and I have been good friends for many a

7
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 2>year now. And yes, I recently had his sister on

8
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>my Halloween show. Why because she talks to ghosts? And yes,

9
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I may have implied the Dean walks I'm outside in

10
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 2>his underwear in the middle of the night and actually

11
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>whispers to houses like some kind of lunatic. I may

12
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>have also implied, and his wife Tina and his entire

13
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>home design career is just a fit of his imagination.

14
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>But after speaking to Dean's attorney, I'm here to tell

15
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>you it was all just a bit of fun, and

16
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I have to go ahead and read the following. Any

17
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>mention of mental health or professional qualifications of other hosts

18
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>on the Forek Report is done purely for the purpose

19
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 2>of entertainment, and any similarity any persons living or dead,

20
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>or otherwise psychologically compromised.

21
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Is entirely coincidental. Is that enough?

<v Speaker 2>You know.

84
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 3>So what do you like to eat, Dean?

85
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Humble pie apparently a little bit of crow. Yeah. So

86
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>what's going on at the Savadra house this holiday season?

87
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 3>Everything?

88
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 4>It seems, you know, we have my son's birthday. He's

89
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 4>going to be eight this month, at the end of

90
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 4>this month, so there's that. My father in law is

91
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 4>going to be eighty, so we're calling it the Big

92
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 4>eight oh eight.

93
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that makes sense.

94
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 4>And then the holidays fit right in there as well.

95
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 4>So and I don't have to cook anything this year

96
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 4>for Thanksgiving?

97
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Why is that?

98
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Because I'm smart, Dean, because I find other.

99
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 1>People to do it, because you're phoning it in.

100
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're done right. I talk about the food. They

101
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 3>can make it now, so I don't have to cook anything.

102
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 4>He's cooking my mother and actually, you know what I think,

103
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 4>Corner butcher Shop is cooking. But it will be at

104
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 4>my mother in law's place, so it'll be at my

105
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 4>in laws. But yeah, it's looking forward to. Then we'll

106
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 4>probably do Christmas, Christmas at my brothers and just wanting

107
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 4>to see people.

108
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 3>But I'll cook at home just for.

109
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>The heck of it. Is there any is there any

110
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>like one thing that repeats every year that you say

111
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>is like, this is a cornerstone of the Savedra.

112
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Holiday experience, you know, when when we're lucky enough, if

113
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 4>you have those one things. And this was something that

114
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't crazy about when I was younger, but I

115
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 4>love now. If my mom makes a soup, so a

116
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 4>meatball soup is really delicious. And when the weather changes,

117
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 4>that reminds me a lot of homemade tortillas things like that.

118
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>So there's not a lot of personal time just eating.

119
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

120
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, screw the family. I know who they are.

121
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Make me food, put me in a corner generally. No,

122
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 3>I'll be fine.

123
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm wiping my forehead because it's just warm up here.

124
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh are you allergic to handsome? I can move?

125
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.519
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, it's not that. It's just that it's

126
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 1>a little warm under this thick coaff of hair, you

127
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>know how. Oh, I'm sorry, No, I'm sorry.

128
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 3>I gotta be honest.

129
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I forgot.

130
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.439
<v Speaker 4>I've never met anybody that wears a two pay that

131
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 4>talks so much about their hair.

132
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 3>They usually like to just let it slide.

133
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for you, you let your a long time.

134
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 3>Also brought to you by Al Dick.

<v Speaker 1>like me and the studios, right, I mean, these are

144
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:50.319

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 1>the highest quality over the years that you know they're out.

148
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>stuff and just assumed those are just plants. Those are

149
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.639
<v Speaker 1>those are flowers on the you know, uh, because the

<v Speaker 1>studios buy their stuff, Designers bring their clients there all

151
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.240

159
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>too good. But in fact, if we were a count

160
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>who has hair on stage, let's see.

161
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 4>Let's count how many of them? It looks real on one.

162
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 3>Two two.

163
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Two?

164
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>All right? If anybody who has seen you knows now

165
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 1>why you wear that hat all the time.

166
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 2>I do.

167
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 4>You have to accessrize otherwise people don't know which ends up.

168
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.679
<v Speaker 1>It's a cessrize for you. It's a cessriz or sunburn.

169
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the two.

170
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 3>It's this hat or melanoma. There it is.

171
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So anyway, Al Dick nineteen fifty two get hit

172
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>up by Disneyland to do the Swiss Family, Robinson.

173
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Tree, Holy Smoke, and.

174
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Weirdly enough the under the underwater plant life in the

175
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Lagoon for the submarine ride. Right, that's aldi com like

176
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>from day one. You imagine what it takes to be

177
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a small startup business and then all of a sudden

178
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Disney comes to you and says, hey, would you like

179
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to do two major features at our theme park next week?

180
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>What's a theme park?

181
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Exactly? What? This guy's good? I give it a week.

182
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.679
<v Speaker 1>You're doing what in an orange grove? What are you doing?

183
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, Yeah, that's that's the little story about how

184
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Alda got their start, right, and the store on Melrose

185
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>went and went went, and then they had to move

186
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>to the valley and I begged them to move to

187
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>another location where there's actually parking. Brian, right, we're hoping

188
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Santa brings us like you're not going to do it.

189
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to do it, or we'll find one

190
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 1>we've always asked, and you're like, man, man, you know.

191
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 4>They're branching out into every Trader Joe's parking lot.

192
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Here's the we just need to parking. I gotta tell you, Okay,

193
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.399
<v Speaker 1>as far as so when we say Aldick is the

194
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 1>most beautiful store in Los Angeles, in southern California, it

195
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 1>is okay on the inside, on the inside, And so

196
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it just like you prep everybody's expectation. Cause

197
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 1>you're driving down SEPULVIDN get a little bit of south

198
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 1>of Roscoe, and then you see, uh, the the Harbor

199
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Freight sign and then the Al Dick sign right under it,

200
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, am I going to Harbor Freight. I'm

201
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 1>parking in the Harbor Freight parking lot. Look at this

202
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Rando them warehousey kind of building. And then you walk

203
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>inside and it's like where dude. You know, So you

204
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 1>have a good way of just setting expectations at a

205
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 1>certain level and then just blowing everybody away.

206
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 5>And we can tell when people walk in and then

207
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.200
<v Speaker 5>their mouth opens and they don't move for you know

208
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 5>ten or fifteen seconds, we know they're new.

209
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's true.

210
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 1>People come down there. People, hundreds of families actually get

211
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>dressed up in their best holiday clothes every year and

212
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 1>take their photos at alder No. They do. They come

213
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and these guys love it. They're like, yeah, come on in,

214
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>it's fine. They's not like they're not renting out space.

215
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Just find a tree, don't get in the customer's way,

216
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and take your holiday photos. So all right, all right,

217
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>we gotta go to break. We're gonna let Neil wipe

218
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>his head down and when we come back a little

219
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 1>bit more with the Fork reporter himself, Neil Savedra. Here

227
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 1>morning talking about Christmas decor. I'm talking to some of

228
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.559
<v Speaker 1>my best buds around here at the station, right up

229
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>on stage with me right now Neil Savadra the Fork

230
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 1>reported himself.

231
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.320
<v Speaker 4>Happy holidays, Good morning everybody. What a good looking crowd.

232
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 4>I'll stop it, stops standing except one. I'm not going

233
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.840
<v Speaker 4>to point them out, not pandering. You know who you are, sir.

234
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.919
<v Speaker 1>All right. So here's the thing. I've been talking to

235
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the to our studio audience here during the breaks and

236
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>answering some questions, and we just had a really really

237
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>fantastic question. A young woman said, how do you and

238
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>forgive me if I get this right, you know wrong,

239
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.799
<v Speaker 1>how do you how do you engage a young male

240
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 1>into the idea that that the design really matters and

241
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 1>that it makes a difference. Uh. And because I assume

242
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get a chance to ask you, but I assume, Richie,

243
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe we get a mic over there. I assume that

244
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that we're talking about somebody who is now who is

245
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 1>this person? Let's just let's my husband, Oh, your husband? Okay?

246
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>And and your husband just doesn't want to do a

247
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 1>holiday decor. He doesn't or any decur where what it

248
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.679
<v Speaker 1>looks like he's pragmatic over design. Yeah, okay, all right, good,

249
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>well not good but fine, all right, got it? Got

250
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the question, and I wanted to share this on the air.

251
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought it would be a good thing. Plus I

252
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 1>ran out of time, so we're here. Uh So here's

253
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the thing this is. I don't know if this is possible,

254
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>but I try and actually do this every week on

255
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>the show.

256
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

257
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>The the the phrase that you hear me repeat all

258
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the time. That is the model of our new T

259
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>shirt this season. Right, design matters most no one. If

260
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:11.799
<v Speaker 1>I was going to lecture him, if I was going

261
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 1>to sit your husband down and lecture him, no human

262
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:22.440
<v Speaker 1>being lives to whom design does not matter. Okay, it's

263
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 1>just the idea that we get in our heads, especially

264
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 1>men get in their heads that it's like, no, I'm practical. Okay,

265
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. What we see, what we take in

266
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:36.919
<v Speaker 1>through our eyes, what we take in through our senses,

267
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 1>it affects us. It affects us psychologically, It affects us emotionally.

268
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 1>It is unavoidable. I do this for a living. I

269
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.440
<v Speaker 1>affect people's emotions. That's the weight, actually that any good

270
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:51.799
<v Speaker 1>designer should carry with them when they do their job,

271
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 1>is the fact that things that you're doing are going

272
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>to matter. I had a mentor when I first started

273
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>my first big, big project. It was this house in

274
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Brentwood Park. Right around the corner from OJ's house is

275
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 1>a brand new twelve thousand square foot home in Brentwood Park.

276
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>And it was upon me to design this place. And

277
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>my mentor, Jim Shaw from Turtle Creek, Texas, he just

278
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful man, and he would say to me, all right, Dean,

279
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>here's what you need to know. You've got to understand

280
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>when we do these things, that decisions you and I

281
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 1>are going to make here on this project every day

282
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>are going to affect the way people move through their

283
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>lives for as long as they live in this space.

284
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>He's like, if somebody gets up in the middle of

285
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the night and he is thirsty for a glass of water,

286
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.399
<v Speaker 1>they're going to walk down our hallway, They're going to

287
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:01.879
<v Speaker 1>walk into our kitchen or in this case, private kitchenette

288
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>suite off of the master bedroom. But the point is

289
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.879
<v Speaker 1>the flow, the way we move, what they see, where

290
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 1>the lights are, everything about that experience is going to

291
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 1>be a remnant of decisions you and I make today,

292
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's going to affect them. It's going to have

293
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>some subtle but ongoing effect in their lives. And so

294
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 1>that was one of those iconic pieces of advice that

295
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that kind of shape you right, and and I've never

296
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>forgotten that lesson. That was a powerful conversation we had

297
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that day because the whole weight of the whole time,

298
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, thanks, Jim, this is my first project. Thanks.

299
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, all my stupid decisions and I'm gonna make

300
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:44.799
<v Speaker 1>are gonna affect people forever.

301
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:50.320
<v Speaker 3>But one missed color and they're getting a divorce. Go boy,

302
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 3>exactly build something exactly right.

303
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:57.840
<v Speaker 1>And I thought, I thought, until I got on the

304
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.559
<v Speaker 1>radio and they record every single show, Oh you ever

305
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 1>do in posterity, I thought, uh, you know, it would

306
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>never get worse than building a house. And then it's

307
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:10.839
<v Speaker 1>there fifty years later and all the mistakes you've made,

308
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.279
<v Speaker 1>people are still walking through it. But now so I

309
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.119
<v Speaker 1>guess maybe radio was a natural fit because now you

310
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>can go back and listen to the first show I

311
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.920
<v Speaker 1>ever did, and just like.

312
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Also most design matters on the first show built from there?

313
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.519
<v Speaker 4>Can I ask a quick question? How many pillows on

314
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:28.440
<v Speaker 4>your damn sofa?

315
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Man?

316
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh it doesn't. I am also kind of a minimalist.

317
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm just saying as a man, I thought I'd jump

318
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:35.480
<v Speaker 4>in here.

319
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:37.400
<v Speaker 1>No, No, I just I but.

320
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 3>You are Pillow.

321
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I'm just saying there's a difference between design and decorating.

322
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.640
<v Speaker 3>I agree with you, Neil, I'm actually the one. My wife.

323
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.839
<v Speaker 4>It's reversed. My wife is very pragmatic, very you know. Listen,

324
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 4>I want to be able to go from A to

325
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:01.559
<v Speaker 4>B and and I'm like, this thing makes me happy.

326
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:03.920
<v Speaker 4>Why do we have a full sized Darth Vader in

327
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.519
<v Speaker 4>the living room?

328
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 3>It makes me happy.

329
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.400
<v Speaker 1>So I've never met a human being to whom design

330
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.319
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter on some level. Someone right, you know, there

331
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>may be you know, you know, I don't want to

332
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.240
<v Speaker 1>be all sexist when I say this. I'm just stereotypical.

333
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:26.319
<v Speaker 1>But women are less than men. Oh that's what you say. No,

334
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.119
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were saying that. I want that's how

335
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Conway does it. I don't want to be sexist, but

336
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 1>women are.

337
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:31.160
<v Speaker 7>No.

338
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 1>What I was going to say, thank you is a joke.

339
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Man.

340
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:39.920
<v Speaker 4>We all the world is run by women, especially me

341
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 4>when I get home.

342
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.799
<v Speaker 1>No, guys are very Some guys are very passionate about

343
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.200
<v Speaker 1>their cars. They're very you know. So if you find

344
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the one thing, find the Achilles heel of passion where

345
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like watch that thing. I know, I got to

346
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.200
<v Speaker 1>watch this thing four times a week. Okay, I'm not

347
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 1>saying your husband, I'm just saying, whatever that is. Some

348
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 1>where in every human being's life, there is something to

349
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.279
<v Speaker 1>whom design matters most. Okay, because it affects them. It

350
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.680
<v Speaker 1>affects their you know, they get all out of They

351
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:13.319
<v Speaker 1>don't care what color you put on the pillows on

352
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the bed, but it makes a big difference what kind

353
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 1>of rims are on the truck. Okay, that's design and

354
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.480
<v Speaker 1>it affects us. And my point is to everybody is

355
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 1>that everybody needs to open up their eyes to the

356
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.559
<v Speaker 1>fact that you don't just turn off the effect of

357
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 1>design when you walk away from the one thing that

358
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you recognize it in. It affects you everywhere, twenty four

359
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to seven, all the time, at all times. Now, it

360
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that designers are, you know, secretly changing your

361
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.519
<v Speaker 1>lives at every corner, or that your mood doesn't override

362
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.079
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. It's simply saying this that if

363
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 1>you can help your spouse, your partner, somebody in your

364
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.599
<v Speaker 1>family to see the fact that the way the living

365
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 1>room looks, the way the house looks when you walk

366
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 1>into it, is having an effect. It is having an effect.

367
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.680
<v Speaker 1>So just try and live in a world in which

368
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.039
<v Speaker 1>there we strip away all the color, We strip away

369
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:17.279
<v Speaker 1>everything about the except the utter utility of a space.

370
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Like if somebody claims, like I'm a pragmatic all right,

371
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.960
<v Speaker 1>let's take all the color out of the room. Let's

372
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.319
<v Speaker 1>not worry about natural light flowing into the room. Let's

373
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:31.279
<v Speaker 1>just have the absolute bare bones utility there. We got

374
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.359
<v Speaker 1>to toilet, we got to sink, you know, we got

375
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:38.359
<v Speaker 1>a place to look in the mirror maybe, and a

376
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:40.359
<v Speaker 1>place to sleep. You know what that is. It's a

377
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:43.960
<v Speaker 1>prison cell. It's a prison cell. And guess what they

378
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.079
<v Speaker 1>send people there to not have a good time.

379
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, they're super cold inside.

380
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:51.960
<v Speaker 4>You have to go to the bathroom in front of

381
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.920
<v Speaker 4>every I've been told they're super cold inside.

382
00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.599
<v Speaker 1>We have to talk. We have to talk about your

383
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 1>time of job. Anyway, So does that make sense what

384
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, it makes sense. Indoctrinate him with your show. Yeah,

385
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.880
<v Speaker 1>there you go. Just just let me add but it's

386
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 1>not about I think a lot of guys just get

387
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.559
<v Speaker 1>it in their head that it's about proof and whatever,

388
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and or they feel like they're going to get feminized

389
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.480
<v Speaker 1>by the design problem. And that's just so not the thing.

390
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just so not the thing. It's just everything, you know,

391
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>this is designed. This might everything around us that isn't

392
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 1>just naturally growing somewhere has been a process of design

393
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:38.039
<v Speaker 1>that some somebody else has has kind of thought through,

394
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and we just need to recognize that it's everywhere, and

395
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.559
<v Speaker 1>they all affect us. They all affect us on every level.

396
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>That's the That's the best I can do is to

397
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 1>just try and open somebody's eyes to the fact that

398
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that you can't make hardline divisions between one thing to

399
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.559
<v Speaker 1>the other to the other. You're just not aware enough

400
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of yourself that you are being affected by it the

401
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>way that you are. Okay, because otherwise, just go live

402
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:01.480
<v Speaker 1>in a prison. If you want to prove that you're

403
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 1>a spartan pragmatic be there and see how that affects

404
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:04.960
<v Speaker 1>your mood.

405
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:07.039
<v Speaker 4>Again, they're cold, and you have to go to the

406
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:08.720
<v Speaker 4>bathroom in front of her, right, Neil.

407
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.240
<v Speaker 1>That's enough from you, my friend. Uh No, we haven't

408
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.680
<v Speaker 1>had enough of Neil, trust me, you have.

409
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.559
<v Speaker 3>My wife is thrilled right now. She's always out of

410
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:19.960

426
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and then some of my U some of my favorite

427
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.559
<v Speaker 1>friends here at the station. Neil Sevadra is sitting on

428
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the UH. I was about to say the dais the

429
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 1>das it is sitting here at the dais.

430
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Well with you and I.

431
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 4>It ends up being yet like it does become a

432
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.680
<v Speaker 4>little bit of a roast. Yes, yeah, so it is

433
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:33.519
<v Speaker 4>a day. So it's like Dean Martin's gonna come out

434
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:35.640
<v Speaker 4>here any minute. Yeah, I gotta tell you, Dean. During

435
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:38.240
<v Speaker 4>the break, I walked up to the Aldic tree. Yeah,

436
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.599
<v Speaker 4>holy smoke, what did you notice? Okay, first of all,

437
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.359
<v Speaker 4>you don't see any wires. The lifelike configuration of the

438
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.279
<v Speaker 4>branches to me is huge. And I, as much as

439
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.759
<v Speaker 4>I joke, I am the one who likes design and

440
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:53.039
<v Speaker 4>pillows and all those things in our house, So I

441
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 4>that detailed to me. And the way the uh tree

442
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.640
<v Speaker 4>is imbibed literally imbibed with the light, you know, it's

443
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.599
<v Speaker 4>infused in there. Rather than them being on the tree,

444
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:08.160
<v Speaker 4>they're kind of in the tree. But that is spectacular

445
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:10.000
<v Speaker 4>if you get a chance to walk up and take

446
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 4>a look at that and feel it. And then I

447
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:19.920
<v Speaker 4>noticed kind of the old world glass elongated ornaments that

448
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.759
<v Speaker 4>have have some more modernized colors to them, but still

449
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.039
<v Speaker 4>have that old school look. It just is stunning, all right.

450
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:27.839
<v Speaker 1>So let's put a pin in that there. So we've

451
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:31.279
<v Speaker 1>got Mida and and who are you? Oh yeah, Brian,

452
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Brian Gold from al de Colm, one of the owners.

453
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.400
<v Speaker 1>So do you guys know the name of those ornaments,

454
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 1>that kind of ornament that this is the I mean,

455
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 1>what we're describing here everybody has seen this. This is

456
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:49.400
<v Speaker 1>like very Victorian, right, It's like a tear drop and

457
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:51.759
<v Speaker 1>then it opens up into a ball, and then there's

458
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a concave kind of reflecting area, and then.

459
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.720
<v Speaker 5>The column reflector. But the shape is a finnial this

460
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.160
<v Speaker 5>long ago.

461
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>That's where fine, I'm just gonna go with Finiel. I

462
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:04.279
<v Speaker 1>don't even care.

463
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.720
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like an old Irish guy's name. My name's Finel.

464
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.640
<v Speaker 1>It is, yeah, it is. He's the guy that his

465
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:15.200
<v Speaker 1>head used to be shaped like that old finial.

466
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:17.759
<v Speaker 4>The final yeah, and the sprigs coming out of there.

467
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:21.160
<v Speaker 4>It just is really stunning. But that tree is meticulous,

468
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 4>just the tree itself without anything on it is a

469
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:25.160
<v Speaker 4>work of art.

470
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.400
<v Speaker 1>It is now, Brian, is this one of the this

471
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>all of your trees do this? I'm sorry I don't misspeak,

472
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.839
<v Speaker 1>but so this is the multicolor that's going on right now?

473
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Or you actually got a combo of white one the

474
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:40.359
<v Speaker 1>light palette. Half of the lights are white interspersed with

475
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the multicolor. So it's a brighter version of multicolor than

476
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.880
<v Speaker 1>what you'll see and do these transition also not this

477
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>one does not okay, but you have treat So this

478
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:50.480
<v Speaker 1>is one of the things I saw this. This is

479
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>why you guys got to come to Aldick after the

480
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.240
<v Speaker 1>show today. Anybody who was listening to me right now,

481
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.119
<v Speaker 1>you come on down to Aldacomb. We're going to be

482
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:01.559
<v Speaker 1>there from one to two thirty today. But one of

483
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:03.839
<v Speaker 1>the trees that just kind of like stop me in

484
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>my tracks. And there's always something every year that stops

485
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.599
<v Speaker 1>me in my tracks when I go to alc at

486
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Christmas time. So you've got tree that will transition from

487
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the white lights to the multicolor, which a lot of

488
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:21.680
<v Speaker 1>trees do, right, But most trees don't fade from one

489
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.000
<v Speaker 1>from the light to the multicolor. They just pop. It's like,

490
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:27.440
<v Speaker 1>oh it's it's white, and then oh you can also

491
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 1>turn it to the multicolor. You're like, you've got some

492
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 1>trees whose lights transition, and if you catch it midway

493
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:39.119
<v Speaker 1>through the transition, when it's moving from the white diodes

494
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.799
<v Speaker 1>over into the multicolored diodes, you end up with this

495
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 1>amazing pastel pastel lights. Wow.

496
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.480
<v Speaker 4>Right, because it's not because the easy right, because that's

497
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.640
<v Speaker 4>that means it's RGB is what makes them the different

498
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:54.880
<v Speaker 4>colors in the LEDs. Right, So you have to actually

499
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:56.599
<v Speaker 4>have white.

500
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:00.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and there's two diodes in every light, right.

501
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.240
<v Speaker 5>And then stell mode is you're telling the white diote

502
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.839
<v Speaker 5>to go at fifty percent and the multicolor to go

503
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 5>at fifty percent. And if you look at each light,

504
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 5>it's a little different. It'll be a little bluish, a

505
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:13.720
<v Speaker 5>little whitist, or a little pink as a little whitist.

506
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 3>It's a pretty back to rich on tech.

507
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it's amazing. Love it that.

508
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:21.240
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever seen one like that before? Because you've

509
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.920
<v Speaker 4>got to check it out because the truth because it's

510
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:25.200
<v Speaker 4>not cheap to do.

511
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the transition is beautiful as it goes through,

512
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.039
<v Speaker 1>but you can also freeze it at that and just say, hey,

513
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.119
<v Speaker 1>we're doing a pastel motif on the tree, which is

514
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.119
<v Speaker 1>just utterly that's.

515
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Going full board.

516
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:43.839
<v Speaker 4>That's that's for going above and beyond just going Look,

517
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:45.640
<v Speaker 4>you can go from white to color to be able to.

518
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:50.079
<v Speaker 3>Transition from that. I agree, that's the geeky stuff. I love.

519
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:53.599
<v Speaker 1>Now, you guys do all sorts of themes, right, there's

520
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:55.640
<v Speaker 1>so many how many trees are in the store right

521
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.200
<v Speaker 1>now decorated everyone in a different.

522
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Theme, about fifty different themes fifty different decorated trees that

523
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.480
<v Speaker 5>people can.

524
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's right off of that's not the tree lot.

525
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 1>The tree lot.

526
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:12.480
<v Speaker 5>That's about probably about sixty three now, I think we

527
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 5>started with seventy. But certain styles are selling out of size.

528
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>So when we say there were sixty three trees in

529
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the tree lot, we don't mean that's all they've got. Okay,

530
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:24.359
<v Speaker 1>oh thank you, my friend. This is coffee that just

531
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:28.960
<v Speaker 1>came and as you can see here on the radio, ah,

532
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:31.599
<v Speaker 1>that's good. Oh it's got a little a little foamy

533
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:37.200
<v Speaker 1>thing going on. You gotta what's up, Neil? I'm just

534
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:42.279
<v Speaker 1>a little parched. Neil would like some table side service.

535
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.799
<v Speaker 3>I should have said something there, all right.

536
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 1>So they when we say that there are like sixty

537
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:51.880
<v Speaker 1>plus trees in the tree lot, it doesn't mean that

538
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:59.799
<v Speaker 1>that's your stock, right, It means undecorated trees, shapes, species,

539
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:05.160
<v Speaker 1>lighting configuration. These are sixty different kinds of tree that

540
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.799
<v Speaker 1>you guys can that somebody can come in and buy

541
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:12.039
<v Speaker 1>kinds of trees. Right, that's a massive selection. People are like,

542
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:17.240
<v Speaker 1>how do you have sixty different kinds of pre lit tree? Well,

543
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:21.079
<v Speaker 1>it starts out with different sizes and also how many

544
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:23.519
<v Speaker 1>species do you know how many species of trees you've got.

545
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.559
<v Speaker 5>It's probably almost twenty.

546
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Twenty different species of trees, all right. So if you're like, oh, well,

547
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>i'm a noble fur, I'm a blue cypress person, I'm

548
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a yep yep, it's right over there, right, It's that.

549
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:39.200
<v Speaker 5>Kind of it's different shapes for people looking for smaller

550
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.000
<v Speaker 5>spaces where you can group the trees up to the

551
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 5>big wide trees, to the layered trees. Our problem is,

552
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 5>I think we fall in love with trees too much,

553
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 5>and we just we don't say no, We just keep

554
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:54.480
<v Speaker 5>growing the tree a lot. Then we encroach into mitas space.

555
00:29:55.400 --> 00:30:01.200
<v Speaker 4>So wasn't there just a recent story about a particular

556
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 4>favorite Christmas tree that is now becoming extinct? There was

557
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 4>something I had heard that maybe there was a species

558
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:09.440
<v Speaker 4>that is dying off or they're having a hard time

559
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:14.000
<v Speaker 4>keeping up. Another great excuse to use an artistic tree,

560
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:15.880
<v Speaker 4>the one that's manufactured, so you.

561
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Could still find it. You can still find your favorite species.

562
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Something recently i'd heard that maybe one was dying off,

563
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 4>or that a particular Christmas tree. Another great reason to

564
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:27.880
<v Speaker 4>have something that you can I had.

565
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Heard that I don't remember what the species is. But

566
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I know this, like my one of my favorite Christmas trees,

567
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the favorite tree throughout Europe is the Nordman. Yeah exactly,

568
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:40.079
<v Speaker 1>And you're looking at me like, what the hell is

569
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:43.799
<v Speaker 1>a Nordman? That's my point. There are a few lots

570
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:47.039
<v Speaker 1>around southern California now that are starting to carry Nordman's,

571
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:51.680
<v Speaker 1>But there are so many trees across the globe, across

572
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the Western Hemisphere, and that you're not going to find

573
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.119
<v Speaker 1>that species because it's not shippable to your local you

574
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.559
<v Speaker 1>know tree place, right, But you can find them at

575
00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Alda there they are right there. Okay, all right, can

576
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.079
<v Speaker 1>you hang on if I get you a coffee? Can

577
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>we I don't need a coffee. I just busting is

578
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you're just whining his chops, You're just whining.

579
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:12.359
<v Speaker 3>I just thought it was funny.

580
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you whine this much on your own show?

581
00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

582
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:15.759

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:23.039
<v Speaker 1>is the this is the one weekend a year that

599
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I just get to hang out with some buds and

600
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.599
<v Speaker 1>and you know, not worry about what we're accomplishing other

601
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:31.079
<v Speaker 1>than you know, doing something semi interesting.

602
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 4>But you and I do geek out about the tech

603
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:36.599
<v Speaker 4>artistic you know, it's one thing to be able to.

604
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.440
<v Speaker 4>This is a masterful This tree is a masterful combination

605
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:44.079
<v Speaker 4>of what we talked about the the about the.

606
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:45.599
<v Speaker 3>Function of having a tree in your house.

607
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.400
<v Speaker 4>But the design of these lights we were geeking out

608
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.359
<v Speaker 4>about that they're three milimeters rather than five.

609
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 3>So the brightness is one thing.

610
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:55.960
<v Speaker 4>All those things is what makes that tree look like

611
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:57.200
<v Speaker 4>you want it in your home?

612
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, rather than and.

613
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>So I was like size matters, Neil, I was going

614
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to get a three foot tree.

615
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:07.519
<v Speaker 4>But the thing, the thing there is that that's what

616
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.319
<v Speaker 4>you remember the early LED technology looked like they were

617
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 4>vibrating or the blue was off or whatever.

618
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:13.839
<v Speaker 1>It's so far.

619
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Look how warm then? And that right?

620
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:19.759
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful tree.

621
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:20.759
<v Speaker 3>By the way.

622
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh. This whole show today sponsored by our good friends

623
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:28.400
<v Speaker 1>at Aldac Home, including this tree. I've got one of

624
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:32.759
<v Speaker 1>the owners, Brian Gold with me right here and and Maida,

625
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:33.319
<v Speaker 1>who is there?

626
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:33.839
<v Speaker 3>You are?

627
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.839
<v Speaker 1>What's your official title again, Queen Queen of All Design

628
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Elements Creative Director. I knew it was something like that.

629
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 1>So Brian, uh, you guys, sad just you knock this

630
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:49.599
<v Speaker 1>tree out of the park. It's got butterflies on and

631
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>it's got it's got a whole mixture of things. Either

632
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.799
<v Speaker 1>one of you just chime in when it comes to

633
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:58.200
<v Speaker 1>themes on a tree, right. I think a lot of

634
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:04.079
<v Speaker 1>people have a lot of people like to imbue their

635
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:07.599
<v Speaker 1>their holiday decre with things that are very special to them,

636
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.039
<v Speaker 1>like very personal to the family. And that could be

637
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:13.519
<v Speaker 1>like all different kinds of styles and elements. How do

638
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:17.880
<v Speaker 1>you do that and have a sexy designer tree that

639
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:20.320
<v Speaker 1>like would show up in a a in a magazine,

640
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Because that's one of the things I think there's a

641
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:24.679
<v Speaker 1>disconnect between the two. It's like, well, yeah, I'd love

642
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to have one of those, But if I did that

643
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:30.159
<v Speaker 1>at home, then we'd be excluding all of our stuff,

644
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.639
<v Speaker 1>which is like maybe off brand for that style of decor,

645
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.679
<v Speaker 1>or we just do our whole family thing and it

646
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.440
<v Speaker 1>looks exactly the same every year. Maybe that's great, but

647
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 1>what can can those two roads meet?

648
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:44.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

649
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:47.800
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely when you walk into the store. This time we

650
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:51.599
<v Speaker 7>went a little bit whimsical, but the thought process behind

651
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:56.239
<v Speaker 7>this beautiful, really modern led branch tree, white tree, and

652
00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:58.960
<v Speaker 7>we put candy canes in it and it's and it's

653
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.480
<v Speaker 7>real and we have these beautiful bubblegum ornaments that glow

654
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.039
<v Speaker 7>so when you walk in. I mean, yes, it's about

655
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.519
<v Speaker 7>the decoration and you know what colors we use, but

656
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.159
<v Speaker 7>it's also for me. I want to evoke something in

657
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:12.719
<v Speaker 7>someone when they walk in, whether it's an emotion, a memory,

658
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.039
<v Speaker 7>you know, and really just be a part of And

659
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:16.960
<v Speaker 7>I think like you mentioned.

660
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:18.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, can it can they meet?

661
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:22.880
<v Speaker 7>I think absolutely, and having that whimsical area for us

662
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:26.079
<v Speaker 7>at the front. This year we got a lot of that,

663
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:28.199
<v Speaker 7>you know, whether it was I think mostly it was

664
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:29.920
<v Speaker 7>the adults that walked in.

665
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:30.159
<v Speaker 4>You know.

666
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:31.920
<v Speaker 7>The kids were like, oh wow, yeah, you know cup,

667
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:34.199
<v Speaker 7>but I think to see you know, I like to

668
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.360
<v Speaker 7>stand behind some of these rooms that we have and

669
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:40.039
<v Speaker 7>just kind of hear you know, you know what what,

670
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:42.760
<v Speaker 7>Oh my gosh. Sure it takes them somewhere and I

671
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:43.119
<v Speaker 7>love that.

672
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:48.360
<v Speaker 1>So so what you're talking about is surprising for a

673
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of people that you would think of a store

674
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:53.320
<v Speaker 1>like yours, the kids would just go crazy in and

675
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:53.679
<v Speaker 1>they do.

676
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.239
<v Speaker 3>They love it.

677
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.320
<v Speaker 1>They're just like, all this stuff is so cool. But

678
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 1>where it really hits home is adults walking in because

679
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:06.159
<v Speaker 1>it evokes nostalgia, right and just reaches right into you

680
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:09.039
<v Speaker 1>and just like pulls on something deep in you that

681
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:12.599
<v Speaker 1>has been there since your own childhood. And those are

682
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:16.920
<v Speaker 1>just powerful, powerful emotions that you that when you interact

683
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.159
<v Speaker 1>and react to a piece of design like that. Uh

684
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:25.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna get technical, not like five millimeter three

685
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:26.599
<v Speaker 1>milimeter technical.

686
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, I really like talking about it. Like front folks,

687
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:32.199
<v Speaker 3>but video games is Star Wars.

688
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:35.679
<v Speaker 1>But we'll get I got to tell you a story

689
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:37.880
<v Speaker 1>about a patch that I just got from my for

690
00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:43.320
<v Speaker 1>my hoodie. Remind me of that, Okay, patch, hoody patch, hooty,

691
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:47.880
<v Speaker 1>remind me tom So I get a technical on the

692
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:53.440
<v Speaker 1>decor side. Uh, the question of whether you can do

693
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:57.440
<v Speaker 1>a theme and maintain your own stuff is just a

694
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:01.039
<v Speaker 1>matter of ratio. That's all it is. Okay, there's a

695
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:07.159
<v Speaker 1>and this applies to every form of interior decor anywhere,

696
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.599
<v Speaker 1>exterior decor as well. It's what we call in design

697
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:13.599
<v Speaker 1>roughly the eighty twenty rule. It's not a law, it's

698
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:17.079
<v Speaker 1>just a guideline. It's a rule, the eighty twenty rule.

699
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:20.679
<v Speaker 1>And the eighty twenty rule is this, you can get

700
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:25.559
<v Speaker 1>real serious about a theme, about a direction, and go

701
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:29.280
<v Speaker 1>into a space and communicate that story that you're going

702
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to try and communicate eighty percent of the stuff there

703
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:36.119
<v Speaker 1>following that storyline. And if you do that, well, if

704
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you do the eighty percent along whatever theme that you want,

705
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:45.280
<v Speaker 1>then the other twenty percent can be dotted and bejeweled

706
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 1>and accented with your stuff, personal family stuff all over

707
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>the place, and they don't fight with each other. It's

708
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>almost as if the eighty lays down a canvas for

709
00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:59.519
<v Speaker 1>the other things to just appear. And it's when we

710
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.400
<v Speaker 1>think again, I think we talked about this earlier. It's

711
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:04.639
<v Speaker 1>like the all or nothing approach, Well, it got to

712
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:06.599
<v Speaker 1>be this. It's got to be that Sharon and I

713
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.719
<v Speaker 1>were talking about, like when do you start decorating for

714
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:11.199
<v Speaker 1>the holidays? Well, how about roll it out in stages.

715
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:13.639
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be everything goes up today or

716
00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:16.760
<v Speaker 1>everything has to wait till, you know, after Thanksgiving. So

717
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the eighty twenty rule is just that, it's the idea

718
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:24.039
<v Speaker 1>that you need about ish eighty percent of a of

719
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:27.840
<v Speaker 1>a of a continuity of a theme, and then the

720
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:30.559
<v Speaker 1>other things dropped in they don't distract, They only kind

721
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of enhance. They kind of they just accent it along.

722
00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:37.679
<v Speaker 1>So you think about like your favorite family heir loom,

723
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:41.079
<v Speaker 1>ornaments or that little thing you know some people do,

724
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.960
<v Speaker 1>like an ornament every year that has their names on it,

725
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know, whatever the case may be, you don't

726
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about your stuff clashing. It's when everything

727
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:54.039
<v Speaker 1>becomes just a patchwork quilt that we sort of lose

728
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the story, right, we kind of we lose it at

729
00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:01.679
<v Speaker 1>that point. And I find from a decor perspective, it's

730
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:04.639
<v Speaker 1>one of the foundational rules of architecture. You hear me

731
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:09.199
<v Speaker 1>talk about it sometimes hierarchy, Okay. Hierarchy simply means that

732
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:13.239
<v Speaker 1>in any piece of art, any piece of art, something

733
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.000
<v Speaker 1>has to be more important than the other things. Okay,

734
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:19.119
<v Speaker 1>something directs your attention to it first. That's what we

735
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:24.840
<v Speaker 1>call hierarchy. First glance, second glance. Usually with a good design,

736
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:29.360
<v Speaker 1>you get maybe three hits look here, look here, look here,

737
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:31.239
<v Speaker 1>and then I gotta let you go, and then you

738
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:33.400
<v Speaker 1>can just look anywhere, you know, and if you don't

739
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:36.840
<v Speaker 1>quite understand what I'm trying to communicate, it's like this picture,

740
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.760
<v Speaker 1>the Mona Lisa. When you see the Mona Lisa, anybody

741
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:41.800
<v Speaker 1>who looks at the Mona Lisa, nobody looks at her

742
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:46.000
<v Speaker 1>hands first, ever, ever, ever, ever, No one just like,

743
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:48.800
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, look at those hands, or look at

744
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:51.199
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in the background there. No one ever

745
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:54.800
<v Speaker 1>looks there first. And the intent was for you to

746
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:58.280
<v Speaker 1>look one place and one place only, right right in

747
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that face and that we is that a smile? We

748
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 1>don't know, And you're captivated and kind of captured right there.

749
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.880
<v Speaker 1>It's your first hit. It's your second hit when you

750
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.599
<v Speaker 1>start figuring out whether she's smiling or not and what

751
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:13.719
<v Speaker 1>she's smiling about. And then you might drift down and

752
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.119
<v Speaker 1>take a look at her hands, and that's at that

753
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.159
<v Speaker 1>point she's like, hey, my eyes are up here, buddy.

754
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:22.440
<v Speaker 1>And then and then uh, and then you you know,

755
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.440
<v Speaker 1>if you stand there long enough, you're looking at everything

756
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>that's hierarchy. Okay, So the idea of a Christmas tree

757
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.079
<v Speaker 1>is no different than anything else that you guys do

758
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:34.760
<v Speaker 1>in your space, which is, let's pick a theme. We

759
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:36.519
<v Speaker 1>could change it every year if you want to, but

760
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>let's pick a theme. Let's roll with that, and let's

761
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:44.719
<v Speaker 1>let's say that that the overall vibe of the room

762
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:47.519
<v Speaker 1>is going to communicate this and then just drop in

763
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:51.360
<v Speaker 1>like a gallery anything that is meaningful to you. And

764
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:54.039
<v Speaker 1>I promise you they won't fight with each other, they'll

765
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:56.119
<v Speaker 1>they'll be accented and they kind of work together. Does

766
00:40:56.159 --> 00:41:00.559
<v Speaker 1>that make sense? Yeah? So that makes oh oh, I

767
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:03.679
<v Speaker 1>get to shake Neil's hand about that. All right, look

768
00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:05.800
<v Speaker 1>at that. We're at the top of the hour. When

769
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.320
<v Speaker 1>we come back, I've got some more favorite guests of mine.

770
00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Some more buddies, and we've got more to talk about

771
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:14.159
<v Speaker 1>by way of decor, and we're going to hand out

772
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:17.400
<v Speaker 1>these beautiful ornaments that Neil made for us. Let's hear
