And I'm here to help you 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: find it every week today on the show, a little 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: bit different show, a little more intimate show. I hope 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: you're in the mood for a little bit of an 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: intimate relationship today, because that's what is scheduled for today's show. 14 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: We get, as you could well imagine, a lot of 15 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: emails and you know, social media questions, just a lot 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: of input from listeners throughout the year, most of which, 17 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: of course questions your questions about what's going on with 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: your home. People who tried to call but couldn't get through, 19 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: and so they write me and they want their question 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: answered that way. 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: So selfish, No, I'm just kidding. 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: But we also get our fair share of listener questions 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: just about us and about the situation, like what is 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: this whole house whisper thing? And you know, I don't 25 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time talking about me in that regard, 26 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: and which is very good, I think, but they pile up, 27 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: and so what we've decided to do last two or 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: three years is we just kind of gather them up 29 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: through the out the course of the year, and sometime 30 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: in the fall we will put together those questions that 31 00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: are essentially a listener interview show.

The design business actually was Sharp Design, 177 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: and it was a the umbrella business over it because 178 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: it was a design business almost solely oriented toward you know, 179 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: the state level homes and moving along just fine, by 180 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: the way, but there was this thing that kept happening 181 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: because we don't live in an estate home by far. 182 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 2: We live in a little cottage. Well, that's what we 183 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: call it. 184 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: Little house, little house, and always have and always will 185 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: as far as I can imagine. Unless you know, I 186 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: get hit in a car accident, my brain goes haywire, 187 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: and then I decide to you know. 188 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, we should live in a mansion too. 189 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: So because of that, because of our love for just 190 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, kind of mainstream life, Americana life, and living 191 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: our little life. A lot of friends, a lot of 192 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: family members, a lot of friends of friends and friends 193 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: of friends of friends who knew what I did would say, 194 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: oh to their friends, they would say, listen, I know 195 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: you're frustrated with your house. 196 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: I know that you've had. 197 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: Two architects and four builders out and everybody shrugs their 198 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: shoulders or give advice that just wasn't working. And you know, 199 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: some people were just on the edge of like, well, 200 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to live here, but I'm just 201 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: given up. I've surrendered to the idea that it's never 202 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: going to be nice. Or literally they're thinking, we're thinking 203 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: about moving or or adding on and doubling the size 204 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: of the house to make this thing work. And so 205 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: one of these friends would say to them, listen, you 206 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: don't do anything yet until you talk to my friend Dean, 207 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: and they're like, have I not told you how many 208 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: people have been out here, including designers, And they would say, no, 209 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: you just you just really you really should just let 210 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: my friend Dean take a look at it. I'll call 211 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: him and ask him if he'll take a look, because 212 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: he's kind of like a house whisperer. And that's where 213 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: that nickname came from. And they would say, you know, 214 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: those troubled animals, those that regular trainers can't train, those 215 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: troubled horses or the dogs or whatever. You know, everybody 216 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: knows what a horse whisperer is kind of and a 217 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: dog whisper, and so somebody came up with that name 218 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: along the way, and it kind of just stuck. It 219 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: kind of kept getting applied to us as we would 220 00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: walk into a house and like I say here on 221 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: the show every week, find the path, we would find 222 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: the path. I'd stare at it long enough until we 223 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: find the path. And you know, maybe I think there 224 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: are other questions about what it actually house whispering does, 225 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: but no, I'm not actually whispering to the house. Okay, 226 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: it's not you know, well, we can get into that 227 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: if you want to go there. But the point is 228 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: staring at it long enough, being in it long enough, 229 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: asking enough of the right questions to find the path. 230 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: And then a lot of people are like, oh my god, 231 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: I can't believe. I can't believe we have new hope 232 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: for this house now. And and so it's stuck, and 233 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: it stuck so long that at some point we decided, 234 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe we should just add it to 235 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: our to our brand, add it and so we you know, 236 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: so we went out and added it to our brand. 237 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: And for in large part us having done that is 238 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: why we ended up on the radio. Because of that, 239 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: not because of Sharp design, but because of the House 240 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Whisper brand. 241 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: And that's that's another story. You know what. 242 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: We're up against the clock. We're going to take quick break. 243 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: When we come back, Tina's going to have more questions 244 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: for me. We are doing the House Whisper listener interview today. 245 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: You're Home with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper. 246 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 5: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 247 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty. 248 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us on the program.

That means that 251 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: we've compiled a little bit more personal questions that y'all 252 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: have written in and sent us or asked us along 253 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: the way, and Tina is firing them off to me 254 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: today and we'll see what happens. We'll see, we'll see 255 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: if we have any listeners when this is all said 256 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: and done. Because I don't consider myself the most exciting 257 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: interview e interview e that would be the thing. 258 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: But nevertheless, here we are, so fire away, bud. 259 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 3: Okay, So we just mentioned earlier that where we talked 260 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: about where the house whispers came from. So now I 261 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 3: want to ask you, like, do you believe every house 262 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 3: has a unique personality or spirit? So I'm kind of 263 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 3: stepping away from the do you talk to houses or 264 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: do you whisper to houses because clearly you don't. 265 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: Well I don't know if it's clear to everybody. 266 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think this will This is a better 267 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 3: I think this is a better answer. 268 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: Okay, So what No, what was the question? Does every house? 269 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: Do you believe that every house has a unique personality? 270 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: So I guess you could kind of touch on your approach, 271 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 3: but do they have. 272 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: Well, yeah in a sense. Okay, So again, just to clarify, 273 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: and I know, if like somebody just started listening to 274 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: the show today and we're giving away we're giving away 275 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: tickets to a haunted house tour and they're like, I 276 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: don't even believe in haunted I don't even believe in ghosts. 277 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: What is this guy any whispers to houses? And okay, 278 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: just leep? All right, the haunted house thing is just 279 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: f okay. Around here, we believe in fun. So that's 280 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: what that's about. 281 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 4: It's fun. It's fun season all. 282 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: It's yes, and it has to do with beautiful architects. 283 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is a gorgeous custom home from eighteen 284 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: ninety eight, built custom by I mean, there's a fascinating 285 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,119 Speaker 1: story where we won't get into, but that's the whole point. 286 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: Of going on the story. Yes you will, Yes you will. Okay. 287 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: So does every house have its own unique personality and spirit? Well, 288 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: I want to I want to steer clear of the 289 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: word spirit. I don't believe. And here's the thing there. 290 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if the guy is still over there, 291 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: but for a long time, there was a there was 292 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: a guy in the UK that took on the moniker 293 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: house whisper, and he would actually come in and and 294 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: actually like generationally cleanse homes and things. You know what 295 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying? That kind of like almost a I don't 296 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: want to say an exorcist, but like a yeah, like 297 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: a spirit healer for the memories in a house. That's 298 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: not anything I do. Okay, So if we're just using 299 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: the term spirit or personality in the the loosest possible sense, sure, 300 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: what I prefer to say is that every home has 301 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: a distinct story and some or maybe I should even 302 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: say this, every home home should have a very distinct 303 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: story that it tells. And that's really what we're doing. 304 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: We're in the storytelling business. That's what a good architect 305 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: and or designer is all about. That's what creatives are 306 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: all about. We're all about telling those stories. And so 307 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: my concern as a designer coming into the home is 308 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: to really listen to the owners, really get to know 309 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: what they're about, really get to know how they want 310 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: to live in the house, how they do live the house, 311 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: how they you know, aspirationally would ultimately like the house 312 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: to improve. And everybody has their own ideas about that, 313 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: and I always listen very carefully to what those ideas are, 314 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: But mostly what I want to get to is the 315 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: why behind. You know, why we do this when we 316 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: get up in the morning in this house, and why 317 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: we do that in the evening and so on. And 318 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure the house number one 319 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: is not in the way of what they're trying to do, 320 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: and that the house actually reflects their story, because what 321 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: I really believe in is not houses. 322 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 2: I believe in people. 323 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: I believe in people, and I believe in in this 324 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: This ancient I mean ancient since the beginning of our species. 325 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: Desire ingrain deep in human nature to live securely in 326 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: a safe abode. And a house is a house, but 327 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: when it melds with the life of its owners, then 328 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: it's a home. And so yeah, every house does have 329 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: some kind of story that it's telling. Poorly designed houses 330 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: or houses that have been abused design wise have trouble 331 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: telling that story. And it's a very fractured story. And 332 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's a good story. It's a confused, 333 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: chaotic kind of story, at least on certain levels. And 334 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: what we want to do is we want to tell 335 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: that story better. And so yeah, of course every house 336 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: has a personality, not in the spiritual sense, but hopefully 337 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: the personality that the house radiates is simply kind of 338 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: a maybe an amplifier. The house becomes an amplifier of 339 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: the personalities of the people who are living within it. 340 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 2: Okay, so it's you know, that's that's the thing. I 341 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: always use. 342 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: The the metaphor of tailoring as a simple way to 343 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: talk about what custom really is, because a lot of 344 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: people think custom is luxury, and that's a whole other subject. 345 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: But I just want the house tailored to you so 346 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: that it really fits, and that's it. It turns out, well, 347 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: this is a you know, when I first got into design, 348 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: I kind of assumed that's what every designer did, that's 349 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: what all architects work on. And turns out it's not 350 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: all that common. Uh, you know, especially architects. You know, 351 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of schooling and you come out thinking 352 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: or being pushed for a long time find your find 353 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: you Well, you knew this as a as an art 354 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: student at Art Center in Pasadena, right for all those 355 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: years that you were there going to school, all of 356 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: your professors are pushing you find your style, find your look, 357 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: find your thing right, and you spend all that money 358 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: and all that time studying in school, and then you 359 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: get out and guess what you want to communicate your look. 360 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: And there's just a lot of designers who are who 361 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: are out there, and I take nothing off them for this. 362 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: And you know, if you can make your living by 363 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: kind of pushing your look out into the world, hey 364 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: good on you. But me, I'm far more interested in 365 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: getting under the skin of people who live in a 366 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: structure and finding out what look the structure should take 367 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: on because of who they are, not because of who 368 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: I am. So if I have a formula, it's more 369 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: it's not a formulaic look because we I mean, any style, 370 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: I love it. I mean even the more unfamiliar that 371 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: I am with a particular style, which there aren't many 372 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: of these days. But the more unfamiliar I am, the 373 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: better it is, as far as I'm concerned, because I 374 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: get to dive in and dig it up. So I 375 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: don't have a style that I'm pushing, but I do 376 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: have a process. And the process is, you know, figuring 377 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: out who you are. I guess, so yeah, house personality, yeah, 378 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,479 Speaker 1: I not in these spirits. Again, I don't whisper to houses. 379 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: They do talk to me though. But what that means 380 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: is that a house has things to communicate if you 381 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: look at it architecturally, if you look at it structurally, 382 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: if you and and I think one of the things 383 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: that where people have been failed by designers that they've 384 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: brought out in the past, uh is the designer doesn't 385 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: look long enough and hard enough until you actually see it. 386 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: And I think also too, and often this happens when 387 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 3: we go to consults and talk with different clients. But 388 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: when you walk into a house and they talk about 389 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 3: having other people come and see it, they they it's 390 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: like the tail wags the dog, and so like they say, 391 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 3: I really hate my kitchen. 392 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 4: I want to do something different kitchen. 393 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 3: So instead of looking at the overall design of the 394 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 3: house and the flow of the house and and maybe 395 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 3: what's really bothering them, they say, Okay, we can. 396 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 4: We can, we can redo your kids. 397 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we say that all the time. The tail 398 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: wags the dog. You know, like you, you are convinced 399 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: that you need a bigger kitchen. So when the design 400 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: shows up, that's what you say, I need a bigger kitchen. 401 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: And way too many designers just say okay and go 402 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: without actually saying, but do you right or. 403 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 404 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: And I'm not challenging that. I'm not challenging. I'm not 405 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: saying that somebody's wrong about that. I'm simply making sure 406 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: that they're right about it. That's all. You know what, 407 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: We got to go to break. We'll come back and 408 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: do some more of this. It is the House Whisper 409 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: listener interview.

Do you remember the first 458 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 4: house you ever worked on? Obviously? 459 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: Oh heck, yeah, yeah, oh heck. It was very memorable. 460 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: It was one of those I don't know if you 461 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: want to call it fate or kismet or whatever, but 462 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: I was a young framing apprentice. I just got a 463 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: job with this framing company, not knowing where. I didn't 464 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: even know. I mean, I was fortunate and happy that 465 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: they hired me. I didn't know what they did where. 466 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: Turns out they only build, you know, luxury estates. They 467 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: you know, for general contractors who were in developing those 468 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: kinds of things. So the very first house that I 469 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: ever worked on as a construction worker professionally was Kareem 470 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: Abdul Jabbar's house in bel Air. It was the late eighties. 471 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: Kareem's house had burnt down. I don't know if everybody, 472 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: if you followed Kareem back in the day, you would 473 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: know this. His house burnt down in bel Air and 474 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: so so it was a big news story back then. 475 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: And he bought another property on Stone Canyon in bell 476 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: Air and that house was being built when I so, 477 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: I carried plywood for days. This was long before they 478 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: put a tool bag on me or trusted me with 479 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: a hammer. I carried plywood for days at Kareem's house. 480 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: That was quite an experience and my career just kind 481 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: of took off from there, and I never actually left 482 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: the high end zone from design as well, And so 483 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: it was a very fortunate It was a very fortunate movie. 484 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: I had no idea the significance of getting hooked up 485 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: with that company at that time, but there you go. 486 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 2: All right, we're up against a break. 487 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna take some calls and 488 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: then we'll get back to the House Whisper Interview.
