1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Good morning, Dean, good morning.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: Just sleep in a little No, we were just having

00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: some connection problems here and so but I'm here, I'm here,

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm here.

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, never, I know. Right, Okay, before we go, you

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: had a birthday surprise last weekend. Can you tell us

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: where your wife kidnapped you to?

8
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: She kidnapped me off to Palm Springs. There's a hotel.

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, there is a there's a

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: hotel in Palm Springs. You know, there are eight hundred

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: million of them in Palm Springs. But this one, it's

12
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: called Sparrow's Lodge. It is originally built in nineteen fifty two,

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: a classic mid century modern motel in Palm Springs that

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: has been redone and refurbished. It's very chic, it's very stylish.

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: It's very cool. Love that place. And she kidnapped me

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: off there, and you know, we had two or three

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: days of just some fun up there.

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: I love that and a mid century century motel. I mean,

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: I bet you're for a house designer. It's probably really

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: fun to see those kinds of projects, especially when they've

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: been all fixed up.

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: It is. It's super fun. It's super fun to see

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: something that really should be tacky and sort of you know,

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: sort of out of place, just just be It's such

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: a satisfying place to stay. It's so it's so fun.

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about homes. There are millions of them,

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: but there really are only four basic homes and we

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of time. I know you're

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about this this weekend, so let's do

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: bullet points on them and then you can expand on

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: it on your show's Saturday and Sunday.

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: Sure, And when we talk about styles of homes, I'm

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: not We're really not talking about styles. We're talking about types.

34
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: And this is my list, nobody else's, and it's really

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: this the homes in your neighborhood. The house of neglect,

36
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: the house of bad ideas, the house that makes you smile,

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: and the house that is a fill house. These are

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: the homes that surround us. The house of neglect is

39
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: that one that nobody's taken care of. Everybody has one

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: at least in their neighborhood. You drive by and you're like, gosh,

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: what are they going to do with that house? The

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: paint's peeling, you know, the lawn is overgrown or you look.

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: At it and you go it it could be so much,

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: but it's just has been neglected exactly exactly.

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: It's kind of it's it's in a lot of ways,

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: the saddest kind of house because it's for all practical purposes,

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: it's being lived in, but it's been abandoned. Yeah and uh,

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: and if somebody doesn't intervene, it's not going to survive.

49
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: The house of bad ideas. Unfortunately, most of us have

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: one of those in the neighborhood too.

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: Okay, it's the one that you drive by.

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: I was famously I talk about the fact that you know,

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 2: one of these days this neighbor is going to listen

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: to the show and then they're going to burn my

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: house down. But uh, but just a couple of blocks away,

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: you know, I live in a neighborhood very small homes,

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: very very small home, very old track. Uh and uh

58
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: around the corner one of the very small homes. Golden

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: lions out in the front, you know, giant golden lions.

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: As you walk in, bad ideas, just.

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Even on the mansions.

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: It's a stretch, you know, you know, and I encourage

63
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: people sometimes people get on my case about the golden

64
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: lions and they're like, hey, you know, in the right house.

65
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what, go ahead and drive around

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills and bel Air and count how many lions

67
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: are out in front of houses. Right, It's just not

68
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: that big of a thing. So anyway, Yeah, there are

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: houses that where people have just made very very wrong

70
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: decisions and as a result, it's that house, the house

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: of bad ideas. Okay, I'll jump to the other the

72
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: fourth one. Filler houses. Nothing particularly wrong with them, nothing

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: particularly right with them. These are the most common homes

74
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: out in southern California, millions of them out there. They

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: are all the houses in between the other houses that

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: you notice you just drive right by them in your

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: neighborhood because they don't inspire anything in most neighborhoods. These

78
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: houses are what we call fillers.

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: And we call them beige.

80
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Of all the houses, they're is the ones there

81
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: that have the greatest longing I think if they were

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: alive to be more. And finally, what we're after that

83
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: house that makes you smile. These are the kinds of

84
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: houses that get attention for all the right reasons. It's

85
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: not awe inspiring, it's just lovely there's something about them

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: that are special, romantic. It just makes you want to

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: see more. You want to find out what's going on

88
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: inside them. You always look at it every time you

89
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: go buy, and it makes you smile.

90
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So I would imagine that you can take one, two,

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: and four and make them into three, and you're going

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: to talk to people about how they might be able

93
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: to do that.

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: Right on the nose, that's our goal because all of

95
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: those all of those houses can be moved in the

96
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: right direction and become that house that makes you smile.

97
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: And that's what we're talking about.

98
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: I love that. And when you're describing these houses, I

99
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: have pictures of all of you know, examples of all

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: that I think we all do.

101
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: So everybody does. Everybody does. They're like, yeah, that's right.

102
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: There are only four kinds of houses out.

103
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: There, all right. Well, you can find out more about

104
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: the four types of houses and how to make more

105
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: of them, like the house that makes you smile. It's

106
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: a home with Dean Sharp right here on KFI six
