How can we 189 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: make changes to your screen experience, your big screen experience 190 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: for the holidays without breaking the bank, but in significant 191 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: ways and ways that go beyond the holidays. Most home 192 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: that I walk into these days are their home theater 193 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: system is being driven by a sound bar. And that's 194 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: a great thing. Soundbars have come a long long way, 195 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: I mean, wow, a long way. We have sound bars 196 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: now that emulate Dolby at Most and do it amazingly well. 197 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes eleven point Dolby at most room location sound bars. 198 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: And I don't want to get in I'm not doing 199 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: a home theater show today, so I don't want to 200 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: get into all the uniqueness of what Dolby Atmost is. 201 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: But the point is, if you're used to the idea 202 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: of surround sound, Dolby Atmos is the latest iteration of 203 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: surround sound, just you know, kind of on steroids. It's 204 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: a brilliant system. It's a completely different, non channel related system, 205 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: and sound bars do an amazing job of taking care 206 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: of that. And they're small, they're compact, they sit right 207 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: under your screen. Maybe you've got a couple other left 208 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: and right speakers involved, maybe you don't, but here is 209 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: the thing. If we really want to enhance the audio 210 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: or I should say, the big screen experience, you might 211 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: be expecting that I'm gonna say, get a bigger TV 212 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: or you know, get a five K or get an 213 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: eight K. Now, I'm I'm confident you've probably got a 214 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: decent flat screen, And if you don't, you can go 215 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: out and get a decent flat screen for not a 216 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: lot of money these days, right, because they're just kind 217 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: of there it is, you know, run on down to Costco, 218 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: pick up the one of your choice, choosing. But what 219 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: most people don't realize is that sound. Sound, oh, sound 220 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: is so much of the home theater experience, way more 221 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: than most people really are cognizan enough. And even if 222 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: you have a great sound bar, there's one thing that 223 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: a great sound bar and just cannot get done because 224 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: of its size. And even though they can do a 225 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:10,239 Speaker 1: decent job putting together base tones, nothing replaces a subwarffer. 226 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: A sub wiffer is an independent speaker that is dedicated 227 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: only to base and a sub wharfer is just, you know, 228 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: irreplaceable when it comes to an exciting full theater experience 229 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: in a room. When it comes to big screen, so 230 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: if you don't have a sub wharffer in your room 231 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: that you've got your big screen in, then I want 232 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: to encourage you get your hands on one. Now, what 233 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: is that going to run? You? A decent one? And 234 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: I mean this, I mean really, I mean the solid, decent. 235 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: You know, subwhiffers can be thousands and thousands of dollars, 236 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: or you can get a you know, these cheap o 237 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: things that claim to, you know, be okay at you know, 238 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: for like fifty or sixty bucks. I want you to 239 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: stay away from both of those options. I'm going to 240 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: tell you right now, you can pick yourself up a 241 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: decent I mean a really decent performing powered subwarfer for 242 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: about two one hundred and fifty dollars. Right for two 243 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars, you will change the way the 244 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: room resonates with sound. And the cool thing about the 245 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: sub whilfer experience is it's omnidirectional, meaning you don't have 246 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: to locate it in any one particular place. As long 247 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: as it's in the room, it's doing its job, all right. 248 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: More on that and home appliances right on the other side, 249 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: hang tight your home with Dean Sharp the house whisper. 250 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 251 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 252 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: We are talking about things we can do before the 253 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: holidays without calling the contractor or tearing up the house 254 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: to significantly impact and improve your holiday experience at home. Plus, 255 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: these aren't things that are holiday decorrelated. These are long 256 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: lasting things.

All right, while that 289 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: is happening, let's get back to these things that we 290 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: can do to the home I mentioned a subwarfer. And 291 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: the joy of a subwhiffer is not only does it 292 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: round out the base tones that you know sound bars 293 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: underneath the screen just aren't enough. That they're just not 294 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: big enough at some point, at some point, as brilliant 295 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: as sound bars are for studio sound inside a home 296 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: theater experience for Dolby at most, you know emulated sound, 297 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: at some point the laws of physics take over and 298 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: you just need a bigger speaker than a little two 299 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: inch diameter speaker to produce full resonant base. You need 300 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: a big speaker. And those big speakers, when they come 301 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: in boxes and sit on the floor, they are called subwoffers. 302 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: Now there are wall based sub whiffers as well, But 303 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: the point is, the nice thing about a power a 304 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: self powered subwhiper wolfer is that you can tie it 305 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: into your home theater system. You can plug it in. 306 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 1: It has its own power driving the base, and you 307 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: will round out that experience because your small speakers do 308 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: great on mid range and treble, the higher pitch frequency. 309 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: But the sub whiffer when it starts to contribute mmmmmmmmmm mmm. 310 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: So a decent sub wharfer you can buy for just 311 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: a little over two hundred dollars and change forever the 312 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 1: way the room sounds. And so I encourage you to 313 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: consider that option. And if you don't know what a 314 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: subwarfer sounds like, get on down to your local and 315 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: I like best buy or home stereo store and have 316 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: them play that soundbar with and without a subwiffer participating. 317 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: And the cool thing is, subwhiffers are omnidirectional. That's what 318 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: I said right before the break. I just wanted to 319 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: explain that a little bit more. They sit on the floor, 320 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: you can cover them up for the most part. You 321 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: can set something on them. They can be in the 322 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: corner of the room. They can be under the coffee table, 323 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: they can be behind the sofa wherever. They don't need 324 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: to be aimed at anything. They are simply pumping out 325 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: base tones throughout the room. And those base waves are 326 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: large enough that nothing shuts them down. This is why, 327 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: by the way, when you know somebody's got a big 328 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: subwhiffer built into their car right and they're playing the 329 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: hippity hop music, oh my gosh, I can't believe I 330 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: said it that way. That's why you can hear them 331 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: from like two blocks away right as they're pulling up 332 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: behind you. But all you hear is the bass, right, 333 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: You just hear the When they actually pull up next 334 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: to you, you hear the rest of the music. That's 335 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: the higher frequencies which are easy to reflect and deflect 336 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: off of surfaces. But those base waves, it doesn't matter 337 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: where they are. They're coming through. And that's how a 338 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: subwiffer works in your home theater room as well, So 339 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where you put it, and that gives 340 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: you lots and lots of options to tuck it away 341 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: somewhere that doesn't mess up the rest of your planning 342 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: in the space. Okay, what else can we do to 343 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: the big screen experience? Well, we can control the lighting 344 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: in there as well. And I don't know if you 345 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,479 Speaker 1: remember this when you were young, but my parents, who 346 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: knew nothing about lighting, they somebody had told them it's 347 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: good to have a TV light sitting up on top 348 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: of the TV, right, because that's when TVs you know, 349 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: were like thick, they had you know, tubes in them. 350 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: So we always had this TV light that was lighting 351 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: the back wall. And I used to think, okay, whatever, 352 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: and my mother would always say, turn on the TV light, Okay, 353 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: you don't want to ruin your eyes, And turns out 354 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: she was totally right about that. There is a thing 355 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: it is called bias lighting. And the point is this, 356 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: you may mistakenly think that the best scenario for watching 357 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: movies on your big screen at home is totally dark 358 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: room and just nothing but the TV on the screen on. 359 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: But actually that produces a pretty good amount of ice 360 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: strain ultimately, because the contrast between the light coming off 361 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: that screen and the zero light in the rest of 362 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: the room. It's basically like being out in the dark 363 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: of night and a car coming at you with headlights. 364 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: Right. 365 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: The contrast between the light, the brightness and the darkness 366 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: is severe. And if you're staring at car headlights for 367 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: two hours straight, you're gonna get eye strained because your 368 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: eye is trying to negotiate that heavy contrast between the two. 369 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: That could all be resolved by just throwing a little 370 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: bit of backlight. Now, there are led lights actually that 371 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: can mount on the back of flat screen TVs and 372 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: literally backlight the wall behind the TV. And that's what 373 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: it's for. It's called bias lighting. It helps reduce ice 374 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: strain by lowering the contrast. But you can also do 375 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: it with home lighting as well. The idea is, don't 376 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: watch the big movie event at home in a totally 377 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: dark room, unless my one caveat you actually have a 378 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: full home theater. Because when some of you are saying 379 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: to me right now, well wait, when I go to 380 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: the movies, there's no lights on, you're right. But the 381 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: screen is the entire wall. It takes up your entire 382 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: field of view. So you're not wrestling with the darkness 383 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: of the theater and the contrast to the screen because 384 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: the screen is so big, it's taken up your entire 385 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: field of view. But at home, there's a lot of 386 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: dark to the left, right, up and down, below and 387 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: above your flat screen TV. And so that's why that 388 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: wall should have some soft, just soft ambient light on 389 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: it that brings it up just a few notches to 390 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: avoid eyestrain and make the whole thing more pleasure. There 391 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: you go, It was real, Mom was right the whole time. 392 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, let's talk about appliances 393 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: real quick, shall we sounds good. We'll do it. Your 394 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: Home with Dean Sharp, the house whisper. 395 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp, on demand from 396 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 397 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: We are at the end of another three hours spent together. Man, 398 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: it just flies by, does it not? Time flies when 399 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: you're having fun. So glad that you've been with us 400 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: this morning. Hopefully advice thus far has been transformative for you, 401 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: giving you some new ideas, some new license, some new 402 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: inspiration for what can happen to your home before the 403 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: holidays hit. I got just a little bit more, just 404 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: a little bit, little bit of an update on appliances. Okay, 405 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: not an appliance show. Just want to update you on 406 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: some things. If you're thinking about changing out an oven 407 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: this holiday season before the holidays hit, probably the latest 408 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: and greatest thing that's out there. And I believe me, 409 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: I'm not telling you have to go in this direction. 410 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know that these are there. Is 411 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: the speed oven. Every appliance guy will tell you, Oh yeah, 412 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: speed ovens are the thing. What is a speed oven? 413 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: A speed oven is a microwave and convection oven combination. 414 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: In other words, it actually produces traditional heat on convection fan, 415 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: but also it's a full functioning microwave. And you can 416 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: find these on their own as one offs wall built 417 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: built ins countertops. You can also find them as a 418 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: part of a combo unit with a more traditional oven 419 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: below them. Some of you are saying right now, oh, yeah, 420 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: I got one of those. I did those years ago. 421 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: Those aren't new Dean, You know, I got a microwave 422 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: that's also a convection. Yeah, but the speed oven is 423 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: a little different, and it's not the fact that it's 424 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: bringing anything other than the convection in the microwave. It's 425 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: the fact that now the logic programming of the oven 426 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: uses them both in the same cooking cycle. Hence the 427 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: term speed oven, because people are looking these days to 428 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: cook their food faster. So, as you know, the microwave 429 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: gets in and excites water molecules and so has a 430 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: way of being able to cook food from deep inside 431 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: in places that conventional heat can't reach. But a microwave 432 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: can never make your food crispy and brown it on 433 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: the outside, so the conventional convection oven takes over. So 434 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: when you set up these cooking combos, you have to 435 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 1: relearn a little bit of how to cook with one 436 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: of these, but it basically cycles on and off from 437 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: convection to microwave, convection to microwave and then finishes with convection, 438 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: so you can get the food cooked quicker, more thoroughly 439 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: and browned at the same time. So there you go. 440 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: Just so you know those things. That's the thing. It's 441 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: out there, it's happening. You can get yourself a pizza 442 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: oven these days that you can, I mean a legit 443 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: eight hundred Boonie now makes an indoor electric pizza oven 444 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: that can reach temperatures of eight hundred and fifty degrees 445 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: and that is impressive, and you just plug it in 446 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: to a regular outlet to do that. New generation built 447 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: in ovens with air fry, convection and high heat pizza 448 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: searing settings are out there too. Specifically, the frigid air 449 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: Gallery now just a regular oven, but you can set 450 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: it to do air fry mode, and you can also 451 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: set it to reach seven hundred and fifty. For most ovens, 452 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty degrees is the self cleaning mode, 453 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: but the kitchenaire is able to reach that for pizza 454 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: cooking purposes. And as always, lastly, with ever increasingly lower 455 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: price points, happening induction cooktops. If you're thinking about replacing 456 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: the gas cooktop, induction cook tops are dominating, They're more efficient, 457 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: they're faster, they're more powerful than gas. That's all I'm 458 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: going to say. I'll let you figure it out on 459 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: your own and we'll talk about that, of course again 460 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: next time we do our appliance show. But I've been 461 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: talking to you about the oncoming dominance of induction cooktops 462 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: for a long time. Well, it's here. It's here, and 463 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: when you're not using it, it's more countertop for you, 464 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: which is awesome as well, so well worth considering them 465 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: as we go. All right, let's talk for a moment 466 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: about you know why we're all here. I'm going to 467 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: leave you with this thought today. If today's suggestions about 468 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: judging up your home for the holidays are doable for you, 469 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: that's great. If they're not doable, nah, don't let that 470 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: get you down. Never forget that the best things in 471 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: life are free. Now, a few years ago, we were 472 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: hanging out at Ventura Harbor, as we do from time 473 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: to time, and we ended up taking a one hour 474 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: narrated harbor cruise. The point of a harbor cruise is 475 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: to get out on glassy, smooth water and sip a 476 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: warm drink and listen to the captain tell interesting harbor 477 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: fax and a few dad jokes as your cruise by 478 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: big expensive boats and even more expensive waterfront houses. Now, 479 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: I suppose the attraction of staring at rich people's stuff 480 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: has always been about imagining what it might be like 481 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: to own a great, big house and a great big boat, 482 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: and what it might be like if we were on 483 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: the inside of that life, looking out the windows at 484 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: the silly people on the harbor cruise. So as we 485 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: glided by one of these big homes with its big 486 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: boat out front, I remember our captain making a comment 487 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: that sounded something like this. During the holidays, I do 488 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: this tour at night when all these homes are lit 489 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: up with twinkly lights, and it's beautiful. But the other 490 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: thing is at night you can see in those windows 491 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: when those people are home. You can see what they're doing. 492 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: And you know what most of them are doing. They're 493 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: watching TV. I mean, here, you have this multimillion dollar 494 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: waterfront home with a multimillion dollar boat parked outside, and 495 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: most nights, most of these folks are just doing what 496 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: I do every night. Can you believe that? I remember 497 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: him saying that so well, because he was incredulous. He he 498 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: almost outright offended at the thought of people wasting that 499 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: wealth by doing normal things. Apparently he was not convinced 500 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: that the best things in life are free, but I 501 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: think they are. I remember when Tina and I were 502 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: first getting started. Money was scary tight. There were so 503 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: many days when a splurge would be getting a coffee 504 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: out at a coffee house instead of making it at home. 505 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: And on one of those days, while we were sitting 506 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: and sipping, we both realized that what we'd be doing 507 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: on a day like this, if we had millions of 508 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: dollars and could be anywhere in the world that we 509 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: wanted to be. The answer was we'd probably be sitting 510 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,479 Speaker 1: somewhere sipping a coffee together. And that realization really changed us. Now. 511 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: I know it's fun to dream about things that seem 512 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: foreign and fantastic, and I'm the last person who's ever 513 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: going to tell you not to dream, but I also 514 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: want to remind you that those dreams can also be 515 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: very easily distractions from the truth that pretty much all 516 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: the best things in life are free. You know who's 517 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: got it tough. Anyone so obsessed with getting somewhere other 518 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: than where they are that they miss out on the 519 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: richness hiding in the simplicity of life. Right now, it 520 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: is very very likely that if we were in the 521 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: Big House, we'd be watching TV. I know we would, 522 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: because Tina would not be missing her true crime documentaries. 523 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: So the point is this, the best things in life 524 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: really are free. The trick is you have to show 525 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: up and bring some gratitude into the moment in order 526 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: for the simple wonder of the moment to make you rich. 527 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm not right here right now enough, but I'm trying. 528 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: The older I get, the more it becomes my greatest 529 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: ambition just to show up and breathe it all in. 530 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: I think I'm getting a little better at it. I've 531 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: had some successes, and when I succeed I know without 532 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: a shadow of doubt that I'm rich in that moment 533 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: and that I'm building myself a beautiful life. And I 534 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: want that for you too. Get out there, enjoy this 535 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: beautiful fall day, no matter where you find yourself, get 536 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: busy building yourself a beautiful life, and we will see 537 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: you right back here next weekend.
