1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp the

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: House Whisper on demand on the iHeart Radio app. Every

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: home has a path forward, my friend. We're gonna find

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: it together, and once you see it that that is

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: when everything changes, and I'm here to help you find it.

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Today on the show, we're talking about the We're talking

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: about tech and your home specifically, I'm taking a look

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: at the Consumer Electronics Show and any new things related

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: to home that I think is worthy of mention here.

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: So it's CEES twenty twenty six Home edition. That show

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: just wrapped up about three weeks ago in Las Vegas.

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: Normally I do it right after the show is done,

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: but we had some other priorities to talk to you about.

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: So today I'm taking care of it for you, having

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: some fun with some of this stuff. And I definitely

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: have very strong opinions when it comes to technology and

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: a home. I love tech. I'm an early adopter of tech,

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: and I love it integrading it every time we can

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: do it seamlessly into a home. But I am not

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: a silly tech person when it comes to things that

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: take us away from our humanity or away from your

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: home being the gorgeous esthetic place that it needs to

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: be for you. I love the integration of it, the invisible,

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: seamless integration of it. So we'll talk more about that

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: in just a couple of minutes. But I just finished

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: up taking calls. I had collar Bill on the line.

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: We were talking about the situation of his vinyl plank

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: floor running up against his tub and his bathroom and

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: caulking it and some cal that he had done that

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: had failed, given some advice, and I just wanted to

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: finish that out first of all. As far as brands

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: of call, just go with the ones that you know,

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: the ones that have been there for years. These are

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: the companies that lead the charge. So anything that is

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: a noticeable visible name, DAP, you can't go wrong with DAP, DAP,

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with GE, you can't go wrong

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: with three M. Right, these are all companies that we know.

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: They've been around for a long time. You want to

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: use in wet spaces like that, either their kitchen and

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: bath calk or FYI you could use exterior grade caulk

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: like window calking there in those situations, because they're made

42
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: to put up with, you know, weird temperatures, lots of moisture,

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: and they all have anti microbial properties in them. So

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: exterior grade painting cak or kitchen in bath, either one.

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm good with either one. And just as a little fyi,

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: calk is this thing that it's one simple thing. You

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: squirt the stuff down there and then you'd either take

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: your tool or your finger and you wipe it across

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: and you make that beautiful little concave thing and it's

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: done right. I mean, those are the instructions. Boom, you know,

51
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: put a bead of calk down, smooth it out, and

52
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: you walk away. Well, it's one of those things that

53
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: I talk about sometimes in the world of craftsmanship and construction.

54
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: Some of these simplest things are the hardest, and some

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: of the most complex things are the easiest thing for

56
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: a di Wied to do. Like if you've brought home

57
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: a piece of furniture for Mikia and you've got some

58
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: DIY sense to you and are willing to just read

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: the instructions. Even though there's like seventy eight steps, you

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: can do it because each step doesn't actually take much

61
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: physical entrainment. Okay, it doesn't take mastery. If you can

62
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: turn the wrench and put the thing in the right place,

63
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: then you're good to go. But simple things like mudding

64
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: drywall into seams or putting call you know, in a gap,

65
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: that is something simple, one step done. Honestly, the people

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: who do it best. It takes ten thousand hours of

67
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: mastery to just do it really good. And I see

68
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: so many homeowners struggle with it, and I get it.

69
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: I so get it. It's like there's too much of it.

70
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: It's everywhere. I made a mess, I screwed it up,

71
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, I get it. So here's the thing. Yeah,

72
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: there's all sorts of tools and gadgets out there to

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: guarantee that you're gonna make the best caulk line ever.

74
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: I think the back of a spoon or your finger

75
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: is still the best way to do it. But let

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: me give you heads up on this as a di

77
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: wire who doesn't do it very often and you don't

78
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: have that ten thousand hours of mastery. Okay, here's what

79
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: I want you to do. I want you to use

80
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: the big cheat and it's so so worth it. Masking tape. Yeah,

81
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: masking tape. Before you put down that bead of calk

82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: down on the floor, put a piece of masking tape.

83
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: Now hold it away just as far as you want

84
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: that great bead to come out onto the floor, gap

85
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: it off the floor. Take the time to do this.

86
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Put down a nice straight line of masking tape, and

87
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: then up on the vertical surface, same thing. Come up

88
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: quarter of an inch, half inch, however big. That piece

89
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: of call has to be a nicely spaced piece of

90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: masking tape. Then squirre it out the calk down there,

91
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: Lay down that bead and drag your finger across and

92
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: smooth it out the best you can. Yeah, it's gonna

93
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: too much of it's gonna go up on the wall,

94
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: too much of it's gonna go on the floor, but

95
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: it's going on the masking tape. And then smooth it out.

96
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Walk away, come back fifteen minutes later, not after the

97
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: calk dries completely, but let it set up for just

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and then very carefully remove the masking tape.

99
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: You might have to thin out one little edge a

100
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: little bit with your finger at that point, but guess

101
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: what you've left behind, beautifully contained controlled calk line. Walk away.

102
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it again. Masking tape when it comes

103
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: to calking that joint. If you're not a master of

104
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: doing it, I'm not a master of doing it. And

105
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: if you're not a master of doing it, use the

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: masking tape trip You will thank me for years to come.

107
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: All Right, there you go. I wanted to use up

108
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: this whole segment talking to you about No, I didn't

109
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: want to use it up, but it was so worth it,

110
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 1: so worth it, because this is just one of those

111
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: little things that gets overlooked. Right, simple instructions, two steps,

112
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: put out a beat to call, smooth it out. Yeah,

113
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: easier said than done, buddy, And so to save yourself

114
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: the frustration. This is one of those areas where you

115
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: could really use a solid piece of advice. And there

116
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: you go. You are welcome. When we come back, let's

117
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: talk about CEES the Best of Home Edition. I got

118

Speaker 1: lots more little gadgets and ideas for you to inform

119
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: you about and how they may affect the future of

00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,480

129
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: Tina's mike is off, but she's over here sneezing. I

130
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: was trying not to sneeze out loud. You know what,

131
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: the best sounds come out of people when they intentionally

132
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: try to not sneeze, because that's when, instead of just

133
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: the sneeze, you get these like I mean just there's

134
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: all sorts of bizarre sounds, Like if somewhere between a

135
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: kazoo and you ever seen somebody try to hold in

136
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: a sneeze. It's like an atom bomb goes off inside

137
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: their brain. You can see it in their eyes, like

138
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: like wow, is your head gonna pop? Yeah, No, you

139
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: should not hold them in. Let it go, let it go. Okay,

140
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: all right, I'm turning off your mind again so you

141
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: can sneeze at will. All right, let's get back to

142
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: talking about the best of CEES. This year. We've talked

143
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: about screens and stuff. Let's talk about some other gadgets.

144
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: CES has been dominated by robots for the last few years. Man,

145
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: this year, holy cow, and there's all sorts of forms

146
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: of robots. Let me just give an honorable mention to

147
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: all the humanoid robots that were at c cvs. C

148
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: CVS like the drug store CES, lots of them. How

149
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: practical are they for your home? Not at all? Zero,

150
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: So I don't have much to say, but if you

151
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: want to entertain yourself, look up CES robots. Go you know,

152
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: go go on YouTube. Look at the endless amounts of

153
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: videos out there about them. You'll see them dancing, You're

154
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: going to see them in the ring boxing. You're going

155
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: to see them walking around doing all sorts of stuff,

156
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: picking up things, moving them over here. All of them

157
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: way too expensive, all of them, you know, Probably the

158
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: most practical one that I saw were these little robots

159
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: that basically are like pets, you know, that would replace

160
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: your not replace, but take the place of a pet,

161
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: like a dog, a run around, play with the kids,

162
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: go fetch that kind of thing. But still, you know what,

163
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: get a dog, have a real warm, fuzzy thing there. Anyway,

164
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: just saying, none of those are of any use yet yet,

165
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: I say, yet, man, have they come a long way?

166
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: If you think the slow moving humanoid robot that can

167
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: barely keep its balance is the thing. Now, you got

168
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: to go check it out. But the robot that are

169
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: changing the way we live our lives are things like

170
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: robotic vacuums. You know, I think it's kind of it's

171
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: not even right to say Rumba anymore, just because they

172
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: were like the first major brand. That's kind of of like,

173
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, we say Kleenex as a brand name to

174
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: talk about facial tissue. So many brands out there that

175
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: are kicking butt. Robot vacuums aren't even questioned anymore. They

176
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: are established. We got good friends that I don't We

177
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: haven't broken down and done the robotic vacuum cleaner yet.

178
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if we ever will. I'm not sure

179
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: our house is so small. But nevertheless, we've got friends

180
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: who swear by them. I've seen them in action clients.

181
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, They're just not even a thing anymore. They

182
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: simply have been embraced and man. Every year, better and

183
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: better and better robot vacuums. Here. This year, we've got

184
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: vacuums that not only vacuum but also mop and mop well,

185
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: edge clean, sterilize their own water, and produced their own

186
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: mild hydrochloric acid okay, out of water in order to

187
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: have a slight cleansing agent in the water to mop

188
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: the floor. No, it doesn't do damage to the floor.

189
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, like the equivalent of like having

190
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: a vinegar water mix to mop the floor with. They

191
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: produce it themselves. Amazing. There's a roboock. Robot from Sorry

192
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: I think it's Sorry, can get up and downstairs. One

193
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: of three brands I think that I saw that can

194
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: actually negotiate the stairs, so you don't have to buy two.

195
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: If you've got a two story house, you buy one

196
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: and it'll go upstairs, do its business up there, come

197
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: back down again. The robo rock, though, not only can

198
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: not only can go up and down your stairs, but

199
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: is the only one that I'm aware of right now

200
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: that can clean the stairs as it goes up and

201
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: down your stairs. So yeah, a lot going on there.

202
00:11:53,640 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: As equally impressive as interior robotic vacuums are now a

203
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: wide selection of proven, proven robotic lawnmowers. Lawnmowers that charge

204
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: up head up out of the garage, go do their

205
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: thing off of their charging bay. They learn your yard,

206
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: the contours of it, They map it out. Most of

207
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: them are driven by lidar and artificial intelligence. They are

208
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: able to swerve around objects that are in the yard,

209
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: or some of them will have a robotic arm that

210
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: picked the object up, carry it, move it out of

211
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: the way, and then get back to mowing the yard.

212
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: So that's the kind of stuff that's happening now. A

213
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: robotic lawnmower, they don't have big catch bag. If your

214
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: old view of lawnmowing is well, what about the whole

215
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 1: you know, the bag or the bin for the grass clippings,

216
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: and do they actually put them in the trash? No,

217
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: they work off of the mulching premise of lawnmowers. It's

218
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: a mulching mower bagless, which actually, in my opinion, and

219
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: I think in the view point of most lawn lawncare experts,

220
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: is the best way to do it. Smaller, more frequent cutting,

221
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: smaller trim, and then those cuttings actually go down and

222
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: mulch in and become fertilizer to help the lawn. Robotic

223
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: lawnmowers they're a real thing. If you live in a

224
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: snowy or icy area, robotics snowblowers a real thing for

225
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: your driveway six thousand square feet of snow blowing per charge.

226
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's amazing. Plus they can go out

227
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the storm and knock it

228
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: down so they don't have to handle three feet of

229
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: snow once it's all over, because they don't care what

230
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: the weather's like anyway more. When we come back your

231
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: Home with Dean Sharp the house whisper.

232
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

233
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: KFI Am sixty.

234
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: We're talking about the best of the consumer Electronics show

235
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: that just took place in the beginning of January here

236
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: and normally get to it quicker than this, but I

237
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: get to it nonetheless, talking about the best of it

238
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: in regards to Home because it is filled with all

239
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: sorts of stuff that's just you know, all sorts of tech,

240
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: from cars to vehicles. I saw basically a personal helicopter.

241
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: You call it a personal drone because it essentially is

242
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: a drone that's human sized drone that folds up and

243
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: fits into its own vehicle that you drive around. I mean,

244
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: there's all sorts of stuff going on at ces that

245
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: is of interest and amusing and has implications for the

246
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: human future. But as far as your home is concerned.

247
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: That's a whole separate category. And that's kind of the

248
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: things that I'm analyzing here that are realistic as we

249
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: go forward both now and look into the future. All Right,

250
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:54,479
Speaker 1: we've talked about robots, enough robots, robotic stuff, lawnmowers, snowblowers,

251
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: robotic vacuums. Also a whole new generation of robotic pool

252
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: cleaners out there, including a pool cleaner that's not only

253
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: self propelled and swimming around taking care of stuff. But

254
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: if they're pool toys that have sunk to the deep end,

255
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: this has got a retrieval arm. I mean it literally

256
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: looks like some kind of a submarine that has got

257
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: a robotic arm that was going to go like explore

258
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: the Titanic or something. Right, it's got a robotic arm.

259
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: It goes down and the goggles that fell to the

260
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: bottom of the pool, it's going to go down there,

261
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: and before it cleans that area the pool, it's gonna

262
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: grab them, bring them back up, put them on the

263
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: edge of the pool, and then go about its business.

264
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about, AI driven smart robotics for

265
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: your home. So there you go. Let's move on to

266
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: something else. Biometric locks. Biometric locks are something aging in

267
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: place and just pure convenience for people that were introduced

268
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: a few years ago. They were a little iffy at

269
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: the beginning. They were all, you know, fingerprint oriented, kind

270
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: of like the biometric stuff on your keyboard. Now a

271
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: lot of keyboards that just to allow you to have

272
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: void passwords and keys and all of that other kind

273
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: of stuff. They've come a long way. Biometric locks still

274
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: a lot of them very reliable now when it comes

275
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: to thumb prints or fingerprints and you would think, well

276
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: that's enough, But now lock in has the Veno pro

277
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: Veno pro reads the veins in your hands, Tina, And

278
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: so when you basically you just come home and you

279
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: just hold up your palm, you basically high five your

280
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: lock on your door and it opens it up for

281
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: you remotely charges with infrared from across the room. And

282
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: then there's a version of this palm reading biometric locks

283
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: that's also just solar charge. So they never run out

284
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: of batteries, because that's the thing about putting a biometric

285
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: lock on your door is there's power there. And some

286
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: folks are like, I don't have to change the batteries out.

287
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: What if I come home and the battery is dead. Okay,

288
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: and I don't have my key. Well, now we've solved

289
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: the battery charging problem. It's either solar or infrared b

290
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: from another source across the room that just keeps it

291
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: charged all the time. Kind of brilliant idea. Here is

292
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: a big change. Tina and I are now researching this

293
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: intensely as a new provider for window blinds for all

294
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: of our clients. Let's see here smart Wings. Smart Wings

295
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: unbelievable brilliant display at cees. If you are thinking about

296
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,440

297
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: a troubled window in your home, whatever you got to

298
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: these guys are literally they are on the cutting edge.

299
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: They may be the best rolling blind out there. And

300
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that there's a Rolls Royce price on

301
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: them either. Okay, very very smart, very very efficient blind.

302
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Smartwingshome dot com is the website to go to. You

303
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: should check it out. They have solved, by the way,

304
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: the issue of the motorized blind for the trap zoidal window,

305
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: the window that you've got above your other windows that

306
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: follow the angle of your vaulted ceiling, those triangular ones.

307
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: And yes, the arched window. We've got cellular shades and

308
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: Roman blinds for arched windows from smart Wings, motorized versions

309
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: of them. Brilliant innovation in blinds that absolutely deserve a

310
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: look and just not even to bore you with the

311
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: like fifteen other things that they do that are highly

312
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: innovative that they can do just for normal windows and blinds,

313
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: very low profile yay from the designers, almost go away

314
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: when they're not in use yay. And so they work

315
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: with just about any esthetic and functional functional for those windows.

316
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: And that has been a trend. There are more and

317
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: more windows as we move more and more toward a

318
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: biophilic design, embracing light and openness of windows. Not to

319
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: say in period homes that there isn't a place for

320
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: good drapes. By the way, smart Wings does motorize drapes

321
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: as well. There's always a place for curtains and drapes,

322
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: but more and more of these days we're leaving those

323
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: large apertures in our home a little bit more open

324
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: and exposed and just letting them shine without having to

325
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: put to fabrics in front of them. And that means

326
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: smart shades for those situations and smart Wings brilliant brilliant company.

327
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: Got to go check them out as well as Lutron.

328
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: Lutron introduced get this Tina, a smart blind controller okay

329
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: for louvered blinds. Okay, So the one thing with louvered

330
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: blinds is either pull them up because you just want

331
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: the light coming through, or you walk into a room

332
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: and you adjust the angle of the louver and then

333
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: you know two hours later the room is too dark

334
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: or it's too bright because the sun has changed position.

335
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: Lutron has a smart blind controller that can uses AI

336
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: continually adjusts the blinds the angle of the blind according

337
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: to the position of the sun, so the room that

338
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: the blinds are in always maximize daylight without any direct glare.

339
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: So they're always making sure there's no direct sunlight bursting through,

340
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: but they'll adjust the angle to get the most daylight

341
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: coming through without the glare from the sun, and it

342
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: will track it all day long. Yeah, that's impressive too.

343
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: What else have we got? Big moves AI? By the way,

344
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: and let me explain this really quick. The big star

345
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: of CEES this year were AI and another concept called Matter.

346
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: And if you're buying any tech gear these days and

347
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: you see this word matter, you might think it's talking

348
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: about you know, physical matter, or that it's just saying, hey,

349
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: this thing matters. No, that's a term that has changed

350
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: the world of smart homes because a few years ago

351
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: all the high time companies got together, the major ones,

352
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: and said, you know what, we're going to stop this

353
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: proprietary war where if you buy, you know, for instance,

354
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: a Loutron product, that you got to get all lutron

355
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: through your house. Otherwise you know, it doesn't talk to

356
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: other things. That's the way it was at first, But

357
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: now we're living in a time where it's like everybody's

358
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: given up on the idea and now we're cooperating. Matter

359
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: is a language shared through major electronics manufacturers and an

360
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: agreement that they've come to that says we will allow

361
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: our products to talk with yours, and that is what

362
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: has made smart home technology accelerate its pace the way

363
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: it is. So you're going to see matter controlled devices

364
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: that basically, if a device has matter, you don't have

365
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: to worry about, well, does it work with my Apple

366
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: Home Kit or does it work with my Google, does

367
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: it work with my Android? Does it work with my Yes,

368
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: the answer is yes. If you see matter as a

369
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: part of its technology than it is built to communicate

370
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: seamlessly across the board. So that and AI combined together,

371
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: that's what's changing smart home stuff. When we come back,

372
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: let me just give a nod to how that's AI

373
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: is changing security systems at home, and then a couple

374
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: of fun things along the way. More don't go anywhere.

375
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: You're Home with Dean Sharp the house whisper.

376
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

377
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty.

378
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Here we are at the end of another three hours together.

379
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, how the time flies when we're having fun.

380
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: A few more things before we are done. Let me

381
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: get them all in here under the wire. In regards

382
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: to the best of the Consumer Electronics Show Home edition

383
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: I'd mentioned before the break, I wanted to talk to

384
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: you about how AI is changing home security systems now

385
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: not it's very specifically AI, so we're not talking about

386
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: every year. Of course, they're new and better cameras, the hardware, okay,

387
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: better sensors, better cameras, better motion detectors, all that kind

388
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: of stuff, and so much of it these days, in fact,

389
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: the majority of it driven by consumer installed stuff and

390
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: brilliant stuff. So yeah, new cameras all of that, But

391
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: how is AI on the software side changing home security.

392
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: One thing that I was very impressed with the company

393
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: tp link consumer installed cameras using AI to minimize the

394
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: amount of annoying notifications that you get, you know, on

395
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: your smart device because of your security system going off,

396
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: or not only minimizing the annoying ones, but more informed

397
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: notifications when you want the notification to come through. And

398
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: the case in point is this. Let's say you got

399
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: a camera set on the driveway and one set you know,

400
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: against the fence or the gate on the sideyard gate

401
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: like we do, and I typically get a notification motion

402
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: detected person detected you know in the driveway, or motion

403
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: or person or animal in the drive and that kind

404
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: of stuff. And yeah, there are voice wreck face recognition

405
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: software where my system attempts to identify the person about

406
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the time that gets it right, fifty

407
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: percent of time gets it wrong. But the new tp

408
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: link one with AI, this is what it will tell you.

409
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: If you don't want to see just random motion, it

410
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: won't notify you at all. But because the AI actually

411
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: knows what it's looking at, the kind of notifications you

412
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: get from the TP link. Are the cat just came

413
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: over the fence? I mean that kind of stuff that

414
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: is useful information, even down to the fact now they

415
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: claim that it's down to the fact that like the

416
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: AI knows your cat versus the neighborhood cat. Okay, so

417
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: it'll be a cat just came over the fence, an

418
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: unknown cat just came over the fence, versus your cat

419
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: just came home over the side yard fence. There you go.

420
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: That's the kind of stuff that AI is changing in

421
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: regards to home security systems and the notifications that you

422
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: get on your smartphone along the way anything else, just

423
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: honorable mention, patting myself on the back. You know, a

424
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: couple three years ago, I told you about GE's innovative

425
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: all in one washer dryer and the new heat pump

426
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: technology and fan technology that is a game changer. And

427
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: I said, as soon as you see the other manufacturers

428
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: start to pick this up, you're going to see a

429
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: shift in the market. Well this year six new manufacturers

430
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: all coming out, and by the way, the Ge still

431
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: the best in my opinion, but these are ventless. You

432
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: don't need a dryer vent to hook them up. They're

433
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: all in one. The timing of the washload is and

434
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: they you know, put a load in, it washes and

435
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: it dries. It still not as fast as your gas dryer, okay,

436
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: but you also walk away and it gets it all

437
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 1: done by the time you come back. And all you

438
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: need is a one twenty volt regular outlet and hot

439
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: and cold water. No drains. Well, you gotta have a

440
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: drain hooked up for the drainage process there, but you

441
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: don't need the gas and you don't need the dryer

442
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: vent hookup, which means they can go all sorts of

443
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: places now that we weren't able to put them before.

444
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: And yes, the corner is being turned. Every major manufacturer

445
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: is seeing the benefit. It's not for everybody, I get it,

446
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: but just saying it's a thing. The funniest thing that

447
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: I saw Cees was the Lollipops Star. I think it's

448
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: called Lollipop Star. Yeah, Lollipop Star Lollipops kind of a

449
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: pricey lollipop. But here's the thing. As you suck on

450
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: this lollipop, it's got this little handle with a little

451
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: battery inside, and you bite down on it, not to

452
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: bite it, but you just press down on it. So

453
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: the lollipop is stuck in between your teeth, Suddenly your

454
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: head fills with music. Why because it's using bone conduction audio.

455
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: So you got this lollipop in your mouth, and as

456
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: long as it's up against your teeth the audio waves

457
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: coming off it, nobody can hear it. You can't hear

458
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: it with your ear on the outside. But those waves

459
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: are passing through the bones of your jaw into your

460
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: inner ear, and you get to hear music as you

461
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: enjoy this lollipop. Ridiculous, Yes, fun sure, so honorable mention.

462
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: All right, there are a bunch of other stuff we

463
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: could talk about, but those are the essentials for this

464
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: time around on CEES and we'll catch the rest of

465
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: it next year as we go. All right. Quote of

466
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: the week. I'm gonna leave you with this thought. My

467
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: quote of the week this week is from a Polish

468
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: poet named stanislaw Lek. I've been thinking about it off

469
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: and on all week, but shared it with Tina, shared

470
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: it with some friends, and then, strangely enough, it was

471
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: brought to mind again last night when we had a

472
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: guest in our home last night who didn't really know

473
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: anything about us, who we are, what we do, and

474
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: they were picking up clues from just being in our house,

475
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: and I was very honored. We were both very honored

476
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: to hear them say you have a beautiful home. There

477
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: is something about it. Everything here is created with such intention.

478
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: And Tina and I were really just blessed to hear that, because, yeah,

479
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: that's the point and the goal. And here's the quote.

480
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: Are you ready, It's not about homes, It's about you.

481
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: Youth is a gift of nature, but age is a

482
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: work of art. And what that signifies to me is

483
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: that while all the strength and beauty and energy of

484
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: youth is just there, naturally given because you know, you

485
00:28:54,760 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: exist and you're young, just because you're young, aging aging

486
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: beautifully is very different. Maturing is a conscious, creative, intentional process,

487
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 1: hopefully reflecting willfulness and wisdom and depth of experience and joy.

488
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: So yes, I agree wholeheartedly with the poet Stanislaw Lek

489
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: who said youth is a gift of nature, but age

490
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: is a work of art. I think I like it

491
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: so much because I think it's exactly what I mean

492
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: every week when I encourage you to get out there

493
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: and get busy building yourself a beautiful life. That's what

494
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: I want for you, for your life, for your home,

495
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: for everything around you. It is an act of intentionality.

496
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: So get to work and I will see you right

497
