Speaker 2: Here for you, with patient, helpful answers to your questions

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: and with inspiration to see your home the way I

00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: see it, an ordinary house capable of becoming an extraordinary home.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 2: What exactly is a house whisper. It's somebody who sees

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: what's really possible for you and your home and gets

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: both of you working together, maybe for the first time ever,

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: to build yourself a beautiful life.

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: Who is the house whisper?

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 2: want you, you, my friend, to become the whisperer of

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: your own home.

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: So let's get to it.

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: Whether home for you is a castle or a cottage,

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: good design is what makes all the difference. Every house

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: deserves it, every house should enjoy it, because once that

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: is at work in your home, every house has a

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: path forward toward becoming something truly great, truly great home

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: for you. All Right, we're gonna have some fun today. Well,

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: we always have fun, but today we are talking about

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: the best Dean's Best of CEES the Consumer Electronics Show,

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: which will happen just now. It's been like three weeks

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: since the show wrapped up in Vegas. This year, I

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: normally get to it literally the weekend afterwards, but we

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: had some other plans. But I'm not going to neglect it.

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: I always catch it every year because there are things

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: that happen at the Consumer Electronics Show every year that

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: are very very relevant to our future of our homes,

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: and I want to keep you abreast of all of

31
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: those things. Some of them are fun, some of them

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: are goofy, some of them are completely idiotic, and some

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: of them are just wacky. But we will talk about

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: the implications of all of it as we move through.

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: The Consumer Electronics Show is in Vegas is the largest

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: of its kind on the planet. I mean is massive,

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: filling the Las Vegas Convention Center. And if you've ever

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: been to the Las Vegas Convention Center for any reason whatsoever,

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: you know it's a big place. And maybe you've just

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: been in one wing of it. But CES is their

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: corner to corner every floor, every venue there.

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: It is big. I mean it's really really big.

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: And a lot of it. I gotta be honest with you.

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: I'll give you some of my opinions about CES this

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: year and where the trend has been. You know, I'm

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: an early adopter of technology that I think is useful technology,

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: and kind of a cynic and a critic of technology

48
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: that I think has just taking us in either in

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: the wrong direction or just wasting our time. And it's

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: not for me to predict what all of those are.

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: But I have my opinions and I'm happy to share

52
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: them with you. In fact, I'm going to share some

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: of them with you today. CES I think has been

54
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: coasting more and more in recent years into the world

55
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: of virtual realities, and that, to be honest with you,

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: is not something that I'm thrilled about. I'm a nature boy.

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm a person who as a biophilic home designer, and

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: you're like, WHOA, what was that? A home designer who

59
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 2: intentionally introduces into our home designs the connection of human

60
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: beings in their biology to nature around us. I don't

61
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: see tremendous benefits of In fact, I've see very few

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: benefits at all of separating human beings from and the

63
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: evolutionary biology that we have inherited, separating that from the

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: natural world around us. And you know, I'm not here

65
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: to talk at length about you know, what technology is

66
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: leading us to and leading this away from ourselves and

67
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: so on. But I do have a concern, a realistic concern.

68
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: I hopefully you don't just receive this as another talking

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: head spinning stuff about tech, either pro or con. My

70
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: concern is that as a as a home designer, that

71
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: you know, homes are shelters for us. They are launching

72
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: pads for our human lives and for me, the biology,

73
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: the psychology, the evolutionary emotionality of human beings is a

74
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: key component to how we should be designing the spaces

75
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: that we live in and taking care of ourselves. Yeah,

76
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: you want to spin out that term that very left

77
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: Coast turn, I get a term well being. I'm all

78
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: about it. Well Being is a serious thing when it

79
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: comes to our homes. We experience enough stress and detachment

80
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: from ourselves everywhere else in life. I want your home

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: to be a place where you come back to, where

82
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: you treat to a refuge, a place where you reconnect

83
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: with yourself, with your loved ones, with your friends, with

84
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: your family, all of that kind of stuff. So in

85
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: the tech world, yes, there seems to be an ongoing

86
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: push into altered reality. Augmented reality is a thing. It

87
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: was really really big at Ces. There were I don't

88
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: know how I've lost track of how many pairs of

89
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: AR that means augmented reality. There's virtual reality when you're

90
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: just completely in a virtual space. Augmented reality means you

91
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: walking around in the real world with half of your

92
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: brain actually seeing things that other people aren't seeing. Because

93
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: you're wearing a pair of AR glasses. You're seeing the

94
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: world per se and also seeing this other information. I

95
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: really have not come to grips with that. I got

96
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: to say to you, I can see some slow benefits

97
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: in some places of being hands free with you know,

98
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: I get it. I get the glasses are hands free.

99
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: And believe me, I'm the guy who's to Tina's constant

100
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: annoyance always pointing out how you know, here we are

101
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: sitting out on this lovely cafe patio, and everybody here,

102
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: instead of looking up at the weather and the loveliness

103
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: of everything around, everybody just got their heads crooked down

104
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: staring at their screens. Okay, here's the thing, though, I

105
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: don't know that augmented reality glasses actually get us any

106
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 2: further from that. You know the fact that in fact,

107
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: in fact, it kind of it kind of bugs me,

108
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: the idea that I might be looking at you and

109
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: you might be looking at me, or it looks like

110
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: you're looking at me, when in reality you're actually reading

111
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: things off the inside of your eyeglass screen and you're

112
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: not actually looking at me. You're just looking towards me.

113
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: It even seems I think think I would rather know

114
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: that you are actually your attention is elsewhere. I think

115
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: i'd rather see you staring down at your screen, if

116
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: that is in fact what's going on, as opposed to

117
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: you kind of blankly staring in my direction and giving

118
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: me the impression that you know I have your attention,

119
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: when in fact I don't. So you know, I get it.

120
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: I get I get it, but I don't know if

121
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled with where that's going. You can see that

122
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: my application of technology, and I love it. I love tech,

123
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. I love it. I'm excited every

124
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: time CES rolls around. But what I'm interested in is

125
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: the tech that pushes our lives forward, better versions of us.

126
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: That's what I'm interested in, and that's what we'll start

127
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: talking about when we come back. Don't go anywhere You're

00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 6: Okay, if it gets too full, I can't drink it

159
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 6: in time, and then lukewarm or cold, and and.

160
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 5: I just I dump it.

161
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: Yes, Tina and or Tina and I both love coffee,

162
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: but I think your standards not for flavor or quality

163
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: of coffee, but the condition of the cup is are

164
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: much stricter than mine. You would think, as a coffee

165
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: lover that Tina would love like fill up the mug,

166
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: but specifically she only wants half of a cup because

167
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 2: as soon as it goes lukewarm, it's.

168
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 5: Out, unless it's a number mug in which it's warm.

169
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

170
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 6: The other thing I do, And I wonder if anyone

171
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 6: else does this? How many people.

172
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: Good I'm starting to read regret having brought up coffee.

173
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 6: They reheat their coffee in the microwave and then forget it.

174
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 6: Oh and then the next day you open the microwave

175
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 6: to reheat that cup of coffee and you say, oh,

176
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 6: darn it, I forgot my coffee yesterday.

177
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 5: Okay, I know there's other people out there that do.

178
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure there are lots.

179
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: People need to just chig in.

180
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tina is very famously famous. I mean I go

181
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: to the in fact, it's I pretty much am shocked

182
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: every time I go to the microwave and there's not

183
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: a coffee mug inside from like hours ago.

184
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: Yes, right, yeah, all right, all right, that's fine.

185
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 5: Okay.

186
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: I love you. I love you.

187
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you're here. I'm actually feeling better. I

188
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: sound a little better, don't I I hope I sound better? Man,

189
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: head cold, this one, you know, I mean head colds.

190
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: What do they say they say, you know the thing

191
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: about I don't know. I forget the phrase now, but basically,

192
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: no matter what you do, medicine or no medicine, head cold.

193
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: Once it, you know, takes root, it's going to be

194
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: around for a while to ten days. And normally that

195
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: means that maybe one show or one weekend I'm kind

196
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: of messed up and froggy or whatever, and then I'm clear.

197
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: But this one came on last Friday, and so it's

198
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: been two weekends. Like yesterday, the show yesterday morning. Man,

199
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: I just started out. I was like, and so anyway,

200
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: but I think I've broken through. I think I've broken through.

201
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see how well my voice lasts for

202
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: the next you know, two hours and whatever. But I'm

203
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: feeling a lot better, so that's great. Okay, a little

204
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: bit more housekeeping here, important stuff. I'm talking about the

205
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: consumer electronics show today and stuff related to your home,

206
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: things for you to just kind of be in the

207
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: know of or have a lot of fun with that. Also,

208
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: though middle of the show, always on the big show,

209
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to be taken your calls, and here is

210
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: the number to reach me anything. Okay, it doesn't have

211
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: to be a consumer electronics stuff. When it comes to

212
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: your calls, you set the agenda, design, construction, landscape, DIY

213
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: decor whatever's got you scratching your head about your home.

214
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: I got you. We'll put our heads together. We will

215
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: get it figured out. My friend. Here is the number

216
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: to reach me. Eight three three two. Ask dean eight

217
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: three three the numeral two and then you just spell

218
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: out ask dean A three three two Ask Dean. It

219
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: just rolls off the tongue eight three three two, Ask Dean.

220
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: The phone lines are open now, and so you can

221
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 2: call and listen to the show while you're in the queue. Uh.

222
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: But we'll be going to those calls in just a bit.

223
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: All right back to it now. So I you know,

224
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to come off anti tech because I'm

225
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: so not tenable vouch. I mean, we've got a lot

226
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: of tech built into our home and into our lives.

227
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: I'm pretty much an early adopter when it comes to

228
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 2: those things. But when we return, I want to give

229
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: you just a little bit more of a premmer on

230
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: where technology best fits into a home landscape, and then

231
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: we'll be judging some of these things at the Consumer

232
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: Electronics Show this year by that standard. How's that sound?

233
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: We'll do it when we come back. Your Home with

234
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: Dean Sharp the house whisper.

235
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

236
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.

237
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: What are we talking about today? Transformationally tech tech?

238
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: Now.

239
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: I do not want your house to end up looking

240
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: like a tech expo.

241
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 3: I do not. I do not.

242
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: But we are talking about the best of CEES Home

243
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: Edition today and so and so. Before I start digging

244
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 2: into this stuff, I just want to give you a

245
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 2: little primmer on this. When I am sharing with you

246
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: a piece of technology that is home related and my

247
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: opinion on it, Please don't get the wrong impression that

248
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm saying everybody should have this thing. The way I

249
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: look at it, the way Tina and I view this

250
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: this stuff from home designer perspective is simply, ah, that's

251
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: an interesting product that could have application in some homes,

252
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: and so that's what makes it, you know, viable for

253
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: our commentary on it.

254
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: That's it.

255
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: That's all okay. And again this is not about turning

256
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: a home tech oriented in terms of visually. I'm actually

257
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: the one who likes to hide your way, and I'll

258
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: tell you why. I'm going to give you a little

259
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: bit of philosophy here. It is the destiny of human

260
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: technology to become invisible. Just chew on that for a second.

261
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: What does that mean. It simply means this. It means that,

262
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: you know, when when a new technology first comes out,

263
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: there's all sorts of hoopla about it, and we want

264
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: to look at it, and we want to show it off, and.

265
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: We want to you know, like, look at that thing

266
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: that I got.

267
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: Now we but eventu eventually what we really want takes over,

268
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: and that is for that technology to sort of seamlessly

269
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: integrate itself into our daily lives so that we cease

270
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: to notice it as a distinct tool, and instead it

271
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: kind of becomes an extension of our environment or of

272
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: our capabilities, right, but it's not a thing that is

273
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: a focal point of our attention. And that transition from

274
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: a noticeable object to sort of an omnipresent, invisible utility

275
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: is really, in my opinion, the hallmark of highly advanced,

276
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: user friendly, mature technology. Okay, it's like, and by the way,

277
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: don't be anti tech. Don't don't be that way, because

278
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: there is not a human being on this planet that

279
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: I've ever met or heard of. Maybe some indigenous person

280
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: living out in the middle of the jungle somewhere, but

281
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: not even them. Okay, Because if everything from you know,

282
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: bowls to walking sticks, anything, it's technology. Okay, it's technology.

283
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: If you've got a pair of glasses sitting on your face,

284
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: that's technology to help you extend your capabilities. And again,

285
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: glasses that draw attention to themselves, not other people's attention.

286
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: But you're like, if you are always focusing on the

287
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: glasses on your face, then it's really not helping your life, right.

288
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: The glasses on your face become something so normal, so

289
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: used to that they become invisible. That's the whole idea. Okay,

290
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: that's what I mean. It is the destiny of technology

291
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: to become invisible. And on that note, let's talk about

292
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: wallpaper televisions. Now, again, this is kind of a misnomer

293
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: or misleading name, but this is what the industry has

294
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: officially kind of embraced as a term. Wallpaper TV is

295
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: not wallpaper. That is a screen. Okay, maybe that day

296
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: will come, probably inevitably it will. But when we say

297
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: wall paper TV, we only mean this super super thin

298
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: large screen televisions without noticeable support around them LG. This

299
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: year at CEES is showing off there. They're seventy seven

300
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: inch and eighty three inch and so these are large,

301
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: large flat screens. These TVs nine millimeters thick. Nine that

302
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: is less, just a little over one third of an inch, okay,

303
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: just a little, so for most of you, it's thinner

304
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: than the width.

305
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 3: Of your pinky finger.

306
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: Okay, an eighty three inch diagonal O L E D

307
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: flat screen TV thinner than your pinky That has viable

308
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: applications for some of our design because it is a

309
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: screen that doesn't need a mount and doesn't stick out

310
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: into the room, and doesn't need to be recessed into

311
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: a wall, you know, building recesses so that we can

312
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: flush screens with walls or something that we do all

313
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: the time these days, and so I see that as

314
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: a benefit. Now you're thinking, Okay, how does that even work?

315
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: It is wireless. It is wireless except for the power supply,

316
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: and the power supply is flat corded and able to

317
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: be hidden away. So a wireless TV wirelessly speaks to

318
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: speakers and to the audio system and everything else. It's

319
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: simply there on the wall. Sorry, I had to cough.

320
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: That is a significant, significant step forward. So kudos for

321
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: LG for showing off their wallpaper TV. More significant and

322
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: more applicable than that. Right now, are bias lighting TVs?

323
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: Now?

324
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: Do you know what bias lighting is? We actually had

325
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: a call. I think it might have been last week.

326
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: We had a call on bias lighting last week or

327
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. A bias lighting on a

328
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: television goes back. I mean, I have fond memories of

329
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: thinking back to my very very non tech parents, incredibly

330
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: very non tech parents when I was a kid, when

331
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: we I remember when we first got our first color

332
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: TV or big old console color TV. And I don't

333
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: know if it was my mom or dad that had

334
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: this little light that they sat on top of the

335
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: TV and they turned They insisted on turning that light

336
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: on every time we sat down at night to watch TV.

337
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: In fact, we just called it the TV light, turn

338
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: on the TV light. And it was this little light

339
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: and it threw light against the wall behind the television,

340
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 2: and my mom just said, listen, it helps you from

341
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: hurting your eyes. And I thought, all right, Mom, whatever, whatever,

342
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: All right, All these years later, I gotta give her

343
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 2: kudos for that, because that's what bias lighting is. It is,

344
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: in fact, lighting the walls. Now, the the application to

345
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: you in me sharing bias lighting TVs with you is

346
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 2: that everybody who's listening to me right now who has

347
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: a TV and you want to improve your home theater setup,

348
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: you should consider bias lighting for your flat screen TV.

349
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: You know, in your best movie viewing situations, you don't

350
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: have to run out and buy a bias lighting TV.

351
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: The ones that I'm about to describe by Lenovo, Samsung, Phillips,

352
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: they've all come in with their own built in LED

353
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: lights on the backside of the flat screen that throw

354
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: light up against the wall. We're going to talk about

355
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: how fancy, schmancy and cool those are, But I just

356
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: want everybody to know. Anybody you know, and if my

357
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: mom could do it back in the early seventies, okay,

358
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: with a simple light, believe me, you can do it too.

359
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: But let's talk about the science behind it right on

360
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: the other side of the break, and why it actually

361
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: is important and why I'm telling you this is different

362
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: than your experience in a cinema when you go to

363
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 2: see a movie in the theater and there's no bias

364
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 2: lighting there. Why is it important at home? We'll talk

365
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: about all of that and explain these TVs. Right on

366
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: the other side. You are Home with Dean Sharp, the

367
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: house whisper.

368
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

369
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.

370
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: We're doing it today by talking about the Best of

371
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: CES the Consumer Electronics Show. No, we're not going to

372
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: get into gaming chairs and all of that stuff. I'm

373
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: just picking out from CEES the things that I think

374
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: touch upon either the present and or future of how

375
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: our homes work and function and how they hopefully improve

376
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: your life as we move forward. So the Best of

377
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: CES Home edition today and of course coming up just

378
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: after our next break, we're going to be uh I

379
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: think next break or the next segment after that. Very shortly,

380
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: we're going to be going to the phones. The number

381
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: to reach me eight three three two. Ask Dean eight

382
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: three to three the numeral two ask Dan eight three

383
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: three two, and you just spell out ask Dean, and

384
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: that of course, when it comes to our calls anything

385
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 2: you want to talk about anything at all, you set

386
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 2: the agenda when it comes to calls eight three to

387
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: three two, ask Dan. The phone lines are open now

388
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: you can listen to the show while you sit in

389
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: the queue. And that's coming up in a very shortly here,

390
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: So give me a call, all right. I was talking

391
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: to you about bias lighting. Bias lighting on a television

392
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: on a flat screen is actually very important of long term.

393
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: Some of you already have it because you just watch

394
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 2: TV in rooms that are well lit. And for those

395
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: of you who do that, great, no issues whatsoever. The

396
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: whole premise behind the need for bias lighting, which means

397
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 2: a little bit of light on the wall around the

398
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 2: TV behind it or around it, is simply this to

399
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: watch a television which is a very very bright source

400
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: of light and to have nothing but darkness around it

401
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: is a severe eye strain. It leads to eye strain.

402
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: It's taxing, taxing on the eye, taxing on the brain.

403
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 2: And there's too much severe contrast between the dark of

404
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: the wall and the room and the light of the screen.

405
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 2: It hurts and it's not good for you. And so

406
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: bias lighting is simply enough light and it doesn't have

407
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: to be much. It's enough light scattered around the wall

408
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: or whatever is surrounding the TV so that your eye

409
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: doesn't have to work as hard. It's not distracting lighting.

410
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 2: It's not in and of itself bright lighting. It just

411
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: mediates that heavy contrast, okay, of strain. It's really just

412
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 2: that simple. I like to use the example that you

413
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: know during the day, right, If I'm standing out in

414
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: front of your car on a bright sunny day and

415
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: you turn your headlights on and I look right at them,

416
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, yeah, not a problem. Why because the

417
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: brightness of the day, My eyes have already adjusted to

418
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: all of that. And so turning your headlights on and

419
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: pointing them right at me in the middle of a

420
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 2: bright day, I can see that they're on, but they

421
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: don't make me WinCE. They don't make me like, ohh

422
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 2: whoa man, you know, turn those off? And yet same car,

423
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: same exact position. Let's do it in the dead of night.

424
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: And I got my face down there looking at your

425
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: headlights and then all of a sudden, boom, you turn

426
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: them on. I'm like, oh, turn them off. It's painful. Actually,

427
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: that's because of the contrast difference and my brain trying

428
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: to handle the two. That's what bias lighting eases out. Okay,

429
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: And so this new tech here, Lenovo, Samsung, Phillips all

430
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 2: brands that are coming out with built in bias light

431
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: lighting on the backside. Now, by the way, FYI, these

432
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 2: kits you can buy kits right now. You can go

433
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: onto Amazon right now and get a bias lighting kit

434
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 2: for the back of your flat screen TV. We recommended

435
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: the clients at times who've already got their TV, and

436
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: we're not telling them to change out their TV, but

437
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: we add bias lighting to it, or we built it

438
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: into the cabinet or however into the wall the room.

439
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 2: One way or another. We aim toward properly setting up

440
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: the TV watching experience with an adequate amount of bias lighting.

441
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: So you can buy the kits. But Lenovo, Samsung, and

442
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 2: Phillips all coming out with TVs in which they're built

443
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: in right now, And what's the advantage of that. Well,

444
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: this is kind of cool. The bias lighting on the

445
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: backside of these TVs constantly color adjusting, matching the color

446
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: priorities of what's playing in real time on the screen. Okay,

447
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: that's cool. That's cool that the bias lighting is always

448
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: adjusting to the color temperature and the brightness of what's

449
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: going on in the screen. That's AI actively at work there.

450
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: All right, a couple more thoughts on bias lighting. But

451
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 2: we're gonna do it on the Do you have to

452
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: do it on the other side, Tony, And okay, we're

453
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: gonna do it on the other side of the break.

454
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 2: You are home with Dean sharp the house whisper, Oh

455
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: we got two minutes.

456
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 3: Oh good, I can do it. I can do it. Good.

457
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 2: Here's the reason why bias lighting is not important in

458
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: the theater. And you're like, well, Dean, you know, I

459
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 2: said up my whole home theater to be black, just

460
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 2: like at the movies. That's fine, but understand that the

461
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 2: screen at the cinema is so large it takes up

462
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 2: your entire field of view. So you don't wrestle with

463
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: the contrast because the screen is so big, it's pretty

464
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: much your whole field of view, and you don't have

465
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 2: the contrast issues even the biggest of big flat screen TVs.

466
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: For most people, from where you're sitting, there's way too

467
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: much of the rest of the room still visible in

468
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: your field of view at home, and that's why bias

469
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: lighting is important at home. That makes sense. Okay, So,

470
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 2: and just to throw this into the rest of the

471
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: TV thing, I'll wrap up TVs right here, micro LEDs

472
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: are out. What does that mean for you? It just

473
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 2: means this bottom line picture quality keeps getting better and

474
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: better and better and better. No surprise there. And I

475
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: love this AI, which is a major factor in everything

476
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: that's happening at CES right now. AI powered picture settings.

477
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: What does that mean. It means that AI is optimizing

478
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: picture quality on a second to second basis on the

479
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: fly because it understands what you're watching. It understands it

480
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: knows that the football play is exactly that, it knows

481
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: that that we've got a sporting event and that there's

482
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 2: action taking place right now on this event, and as

483
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: a result, picture settings will be adjusted on the fly picture.

484
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: It knows the difference between that and watching Dalton Abbey. Okay,

485
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: And so that's all good stuff. Bottom line about this,

486
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the best thing about all of this

487
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 2: constant improvement of television picture quality here and we could

488
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: get real practical on you. The best part about it

489
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: all is that those cutting edge four K already better

490
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: than anything you've ever owned or seen before TVs. They

491
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 2: are already old school. And when you walk into Costco,

492
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 2: you will find I did the other day. I looked

493
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: over at the TV's Mike Costco. When I walk in,

494
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: all the TV's are right there. I don't know if

495
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: it's for yours, but I walked in there and here

496
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: was a I think it was an eighty eight inch

497
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: diagonal flat screen four K television or like seven hundred

498
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: and something dollars.

499
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.

500
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: That's the best part of hearing that every year at CEO,

501
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: the new generation of TVs are just that much better,

502
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: because the already amazing ones are now pennies on the dollar,

503
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: in my opinion, So there you go, all right, when

504
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: we come back whole lot more, don't go anywhere. You're

505
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: home with Dean Sharp the house whisper.
