1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Kf I am six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: the House Whisper on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Every 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: home has a path forward once you see it. That 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: is when everything changes for the better, by the way, 5 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: not for the worse. No, we're changing tay for the 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: better of course. All right. We are just a little 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: bit past mid show here, but there's one more call 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: that I want to take before we are done, so 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: let's get back to it. I want to talk to Cindy. Hey, Cindy, 10 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: welcome home. 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: Thank you Dean for taking my call. It involves a 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: letter I received from my insurance company stating that my 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: policy will be discontinued if I do not do the following, 14 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: which includes installing a water leak detection system, new pressure regulator, 15 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: new water heater, new supply hosts. So I'm wondering if 16 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: you have any thoughts on this, and maybe what brand 17 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: of water detection system. 18 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: Okay, so let me ask you. You received this letter, 19 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: but this was just out of the blue, this letter 20 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: or this was the result of a you know, a 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: reupping of your policy. And did the insurance company send 22 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: out an inspector to the house. How did this go down. 23 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: I am. My policy will be up in two months, 24 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: so I have until then to redo these certain things. 25 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: And I'm in California, so I don't know. 26 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: But what I'm wondering is how this a very specific 27 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: letter that they sent you. How do they know about 28 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: these particular components. 29 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: I did have a leak about a year ago, okay, 30 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: and they from the toilet and they did fix it. Yeah. 31 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so there was a toilet leak and then somebody 32 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: was in your home and and so so for some reason, 33 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: these are the things that they're concerned about. Okay, gotcha, 34 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: run me by the list one more time, real quick. 35 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: Well, a water leak detection system, new pressure regulator, new 36 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: water heater, on supply hoses. 37 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so this is a situation where you want 38 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: to call a plumber, okay, because a plumber can take 39 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: care of all of these things for you, get them 40 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: all done, and uh and you know nothing here is 41 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: is break the bank crazy. The water leak detection system, 42 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: that's probably the priciest item there, and there are various ones. 43 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: The one in particular that I like the most is 44 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: called is made by Mowen mo Oe and it's called 45 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: the flow flo It mounts on your main water line 46 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: coming into the house, and it basically learns the sounds. 47 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: Of your system so that it understands when certain water 48 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 3: is being used at certain faucets and certain supplies and 49 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 3: when you flush the toilet and so on, and when 50 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: nothing is happening of that nature. 51 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: If it detects any kind of water movement whatsoever, then 52 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: it alerts you via app and also will shut down 53 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: the main water supply. So, in other words, if it 54 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: detects that there's a leak or a pipe busts, then 55 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: it'll just shut off the main so to minimize the 56 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: amount of water that's going to come out. All the 57 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: water that will leak out is only what's already in 58 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: the pipe basically, and the insurance company is concerned about 59 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: that because they don't want to pay for more water 60 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: damage as a result of, you know, of the pipes busting. 61 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: The same with the supply hoses. Supply hoses meaning the 62 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: hoses coming off your washing machine, okay, and or uh 63 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: if there's anything aged about what's underneath the sink, but 64 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: mostly supply hoses are talking about the hoses, the rubber 65 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: hoses that are coming off the washing machine that have 66 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: standing water and water pressure in them all the time. 67 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: What else was on your list? Real quick? 68 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: What I just knew? I think it was a pressure 69 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: water heater and then. 70 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: Pressure regulator later. Yeah, all right, pressure regulator is is 71 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: it not an expensive thing? You've already got one on 72 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: the outside of the house, somebody who's probably concerned that 73 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: it has failed. Pressure regulators fail over time because they're 74 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: holding back a lot of stuff. And so again, this 75 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: is something that a plumber can install relatively easily. It's 76 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: just a swap out of a relatively inexpensive item, and 77 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 1: that ensures that there's not too much high pressure running 78 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: in your pipes that's going to cause a burst inside 79 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: the house. So that's a typical thing as well. Now 80 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: the water heater, that may simply be because you've got 81 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: an older water heater, maybe be you know, well beyond it. 82 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: How old is your water heater? 83 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: You know, I couldn't tell you, but it's old. 84 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: Okay, So the fact that you can't tell me means 85 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: it's old. So yeah, changing out the water heater again, 86 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: that's one of those items. So this's going to run 87 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: you a little bit, but you know, in the end, 88 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: you're going to get your homeowner's insurance policy re upped, 89 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: and you'll also honestly be in a better position to 90 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: not worry about a busted pipe or having any other 91 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: leak situations. So I get the list. I understand it. 92 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: It seems to me that they've had someone in your 93 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: home and who's been concerned about those elements, and so 94 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, do what you can. Talk 95 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: to a plumber, explain to them, and also, you know, 96 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: get a price from that plumber. Read them the list, 97 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: get a price, and also price it out with two 98 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: or three other plumbers to make sure that nobody's taken 99 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: advantage of you along the way. So always get, always 100 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: get two or three bids before you commit, and after 101 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: two or three estimates, you're gonna get a sense of like, yeah, 102 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: you know what, they all fall sort of in this category. 103 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: And there you go. Does that make sense? 104 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: Okay? You know what, Dean. I love your show, Thank 105 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: you so much. I've learned so much over the years. 106 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: Oh, Cindy, thank you so much, and you take care 107 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: of that. But please get two or three bids to 108 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: make sure that nobody's taking advantage of you along the way. 109 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: But they're all good things to replace from time to time. 110 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: Just replacing them all at once, you know, it could 111 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: seem a little overwhelming, but there's nothing that's rocket science 112 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: on the list there. Cindy, thanks so much for the question. 113 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: Everybody calls today, great calls today. When we come back, 114 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit more more about lessons from 115 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Europe from our European vacation. Yes, I have more course, 116 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: don't go anywhere your Home with Dean Sharp, the house whisper. 117 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 118 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty. 119 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: So I'm just catching up with you because I've been 120 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: gone for a couple of weeks. Where were we We 121 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: were in Europe doing some europe things, having a great 122 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: little adventure. But now we're back and we're back in action, 123 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: and we've got great plans for the weeks and months 124 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: ahead here on the program and for you. But today 125 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, touching base again, telling you a 126 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: little bit about our trip to Europe. But specifically I'm 127 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: kind of using it, using it for your benefit, I hope, 128 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: for lessons from Europe. That's what we've called today's show, 129 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: Lessons from Europe. Lessons from Europe about your home. So 130 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: we've talked about Paris, and I will have to go 131 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: back to another yet another example of something in Paris 132 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: for another lesson here. But I want to talk to 133 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: you now about finding ways to honor the old while 134 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: embracing the new. This is something that comes up a 135 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: lot in conversations with clients and when we do consults, 136 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: and here on the program as well. People have a 137 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: lot of questions about how do I you know, there's 138 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: a look that I like. I like a vintage look, 139 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: and yet you know, I don't want to live in 140 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: a hundred year old house with the inconveniences of what 141 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: that means, and how do I modernize my house without it, 142 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, looking too contemporary or the flip side is 143 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: also just as equally true. I really want a contemporary home, 144 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: but I you know, I don't want it to be 145 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: cold and sterile and hard and brutal, like I think 146 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: a lot of contemporary architecture sometimes can be. And I 147 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: feel you. I feel you on all of those counts. 148 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: And so let me be the first to say having 149 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: a vintage home or a vintage looking home does not 150 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: mean that you know, below the surface that it has 151 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: to be a not modern home at all. We can 152 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: do that these days. We can give you that look 153 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: and have you live in a twenty first century home 154 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: all at the same time. Secondarily, you do not have 155 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: to sacrifice warmth and organic vibes if you really, really 156 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: kind of love a more contemporary home, because when it's 157 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: done right, it brings it all to the table for you. 158 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: It's all about good design, both ends of that pendulum swing. 159 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: It's all about good design. I, by the way, love 160 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: contemporary architecture, but I do not want to live in 161 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: just a brutal concrete box that isn't warm and have 162 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: it's all sorts of story running through it. And I 163 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: love you know, period and vintage architecture. But nobody, and 164 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: I've said this a million times on the program, nobody 165 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: actually can these days in America at least live in 166 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: a truly authentic vintage home. Those are for museums only 167 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: because things like you know, I mean to you, like, well, 168 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: can't I live in a completely authentic Victorian home? No, no, 169 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: you cannot because you cannot have if it has electricity 170 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: running in it, you cannot have you know, one hundred 171 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: year old styles of electricity knob and tube doesn't pass 172 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: current code, nor is anybody going to let you is 173 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: any building authority going to let you have open gas 174 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: lines lighting the interior of your home or anything like that. 175 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: So no, you don't get to live in a one percent. 176 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: Now do those exist, Yes, they do, but they're museums. 177 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: They are literally things that people walk through and can't 178 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: habitat in. So the point is finding a good design 179 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: that merges the old and the new, and I found 180 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: some really stark, starkly beautiful examples of that on this trip. 181 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: I was very heartened by many examples of European architecture 182 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: that honestly and harmoniously merged old with new in a 183 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: way that honors both. And I mean these are extreme examples, 184 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: but they should be encouraging to you. The very first 185 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: town we visited was in the al Sace Alsace, I 186 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: think it's all Sace region of France, which is right 187 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: on the German border, and Alsatian people they call themselves Alsatian, 188 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: not French and not Germans. And that's because over like 189 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: the last century and a half, because they've been right 190 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,599 Speaker 1: on the border, and France and Germany have had ongoing 191 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: not just during World War Two but ongoing wars and 192 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: conflicts and whatever. Alsatian the Alsatian region has been French 193 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: and then it's German and French German. It's bounced back 194 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: and forth, and so they're they're sitting or they're used 195 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: to sitting around and having someone come into town and say, hey, 196 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: guess what you guys are German now? And then you know, 197 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: three months later, guess what you guys are French now. 198 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: So they speak German, they speak French, thank god, they 199 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: also speak English, but they prefer to just they've they've 200 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: they've had enough of flipping back and forth and they 201 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: just like to say where all Sace anyway? In that 202 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: region which currently is French. By the way, is this 203 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: beautiful medieval town called Colemar. How beautiful is it? You 204 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: should look it up and check out some pictures. And 205 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: by the way, the most recent live action version of 206 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: Beauty and the Beast with the is it Emma Watson 207 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: who was in it. Yeah, the set design for that 208 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: village based almost entirely on the old town, medieval Colemar, France. 209 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: That's how beautiful a town it is. So why do 210 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: I bring this up? It is a medieval village, the 211 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: old town in Colemar, and it has in it some 212 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: very modern architecture that in no way threatens the medieval quality. 213 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come back. 214 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 215 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 4: KFI Am sixty. 216 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: We are enjoying this sunny southern California morning, just having 217 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: a conversation about our recent trip to Europe and the 218 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: lessons for your home that were gleaned along the way. 219 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: And right before the break, I was talking about this 220 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: village of Colemar, France, in the Alsatian region of France, 221 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: and this medieval town, medieval town so beautiful and inspired 222 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: the live action set design for the most recent version 223 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: of Beauty and the Beast. It is just just there 224 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: are no bad photographs that take place in Colemar. Everywhere 225 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: you turn, it's just so charming. I mean, it's literally 226 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: a just frozen in time medieval buildings of the most 227 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: gorgeous nature. Anyway, if you imagine like going to Disneyland 228 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: and you're in fantasy Land, you know that little area 229 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: where you're standing by the carousel and looking at everything 230 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: around you there, imagine that on a scale, the size 231 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: of Disneyland plus itself. I mean, that's literally old Town 232 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: Coalmar and every street charming. And then you turn a 233 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: corner you're like, oh, and it's even more charming. And 234 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: then you turn another Carmen corner and you're like, how 235 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: could it get more charming than this? And yet it does, 236 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: So there you go. Now, there are a couple of 237 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: churches in old Town Colmar, one very very large one, 238 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: Saint Martin's, but the smaller one, the Igles de Dominicans 239 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: or the Dominican Church, which is where we entered old Town. 240 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: Is this beautiful, smaller scale but large, still medieval church building, 241 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: and there's a museum that's been attached to it, kind 242 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: of attaching the building, the church buildings around the main 243 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: sanctuary to the sanctuary. And this museum is very very modern. 244 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: The attempt was not made to emulate or duplicate or 245 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: fool you into thinking that everything you're looking at was medieval. 246 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: In fact, what they wanted to do was actually honor 247 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: the real medieval, honest buildings by adding something that was 248 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: clearly not medieval. And yet it doesn't fight with it. 249 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: It is as a modern structure. It's a black wood 250 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: clad structure, and I pointed out to my friend Dawn, 251 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: who was we were staring at it, and I'm like, 252 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: take a look at that. What do you think about that? 253 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: And he's like, I like it. I said, I like 254 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: it too. Same wall height as the buildings around it, 255 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: same roof pitch as the buildings around it, and yet 256 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: no detail, zero detail was kind of clad in blackwood 257 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: vertical black wood, and so it became kind of a 258 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: shadow in between the two structures that didn't compete with 259 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: either one. In fact, I would say the darkness of 260 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: this little museum wing actually compliments and accentuates the other buildings, 261 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: and it's such a beautiful example a very contemporary architecture 262 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: being inserted into a medieval situation in which they're not 263 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: fighting with each other at all. They're complimenting each other. 264 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: And that should encourage you that old and new can 265 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: exist simultaneously for those of you who want more contemporary homes, 266 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: and you wonder, but can they be warm, Yeah, because 267 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: they can serve as essentially kind of a gallery for 268 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: all sorts of periods of furniture and decor and art 269 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: and so on. I want you to think about museums 270 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: in general again, to go back to France and to 271 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: go back to Paris. The Muzu d'orset is just one 272 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: of the most maybe the most beautiful setting of a museum. 273 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: The louver is right across from it, but the louver 274 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: is massive, you know, it takes days to move through it. 275 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: It's in the old Palace. But the Muse d'orse is 276 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: just itself so artsy. It's set in a one and 277 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: twenty six year old Beaux Arts railway station. In fact, 278 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: a lot of you have seen bits of it before 279 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: if you watched the movie as was a few years back, 280 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 1: maybe ten years ago. Martin Scorsese I think, made a 281 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: movie called Hugo about a boy who lived in the 282 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: attic of a railway station. In it just behind the 283 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: face of a gigantic clock. Do you remember that show Hugo? Anyway, 284 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: that's the clocks at the Muse d'orse because it's a 285 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: railway station. It's got these massive railway station clocks. It's 286 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: beautiful and inside this classic building are all of these 287 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: modernist structures that hold the galleries, the art galleries for 288 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: the Muse d'orse. A beautiful fusion of contemporary and classic 289 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: architecture and we saw that time and time again. Colemar 290 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: In minds this was one of the most harrowing ones, 291 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: I would say, or the emotionally touching ones. In the Mines, Germany, 292 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: a little town of Mines Mines was occupied by the 293 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,239 Speaker 1: Nazis during World War two. They made a headquarters out 294 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: of it, because in many ways it's like the capital 295 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: of a German wine country, kind of like the capital 296 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: of their Napa area. And the Germans were there and 297 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: they made headquarters, and so the Allies bombed the heck 298 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: out of Mines, and so a lot of old mines 299 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: was lost during World War two, and a lot of 300 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: things were damaged. And there was a church that we 301 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: walked by that had been damaged by the Allied bombing 302 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: in World War two, and it was now missing part 303 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: of its wall and part of its roof, and it 304 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: was also missing the spires that were on top of 305 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: its tower. And the decision was made. I don't know 306 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: who this was, but I applaud them. The decision was 307 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: made to rebuild the sections. And this was a brick 308 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: like a medieval brick church. The decision was made to 309 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: rebuild the sections to complete the building again in a 310 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: modernist contemporary way with these smooth modernist structures, matching the 311 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 1: roof pitch, matching the walls, and it looked filled in 312 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: and the spires had been restored to the top of 313 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: the tower. But the spires were these steel, skeletal spires 314 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: that weren't filled in at all. They just basically they 315 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: were like a what was it like? It was like 316 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: looking at the ghost a ghostly image of the spire 317 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: that was there before, and you just you got it. 318 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: You got it. They did not try to fake you 319 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: out and rebuild the spire and say, look at this 320 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: medieval spire. No, it was clearly a modern attachment, and 321 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: it was a testimony to the war, to the damage 322 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: to the beauty of the building that was still remained, 323 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,479 Speaker 1: and kind of filling in the empty space, and it 324 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: was just done so masterfully. And again it just reminded 325 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: me there's no reason why we can't fuse contemporary and 326 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: classic images together and structures together when design is on 327 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: point and when design is working for it, and the 328 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: same is true with things that even weren't damage. We 329 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: visited Heidelberg. Heidelberg Castle, a famous castle in Germany and 330 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: the visitor center for Heidelberg. It is no damage to 331 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: the castle per se. The visitor center was constructed with 332 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: these deep walled windows to allude to like arrow slits 333 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: and fortifications. Brand new building, brand new building sitting adjacent 334 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: to the castle, but so in keeping with the spirit 335 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: of the castle. You don't even think about it. And 336 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: yet it's an ultra modern building, but just built with 337 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: just the right intent so that old and new are 338 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: together again anyway. So there you have it. There's some 339 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: great examples of that kind of stuff. Let me tie 340 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: this all together into pretty bow when we come back, 341 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: and we'll do that right after this. You are Home 342 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: with Dean Sharp the house whisper. 343 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 344 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty. 345 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for joining us on the program today. Here 346 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: we are at the end of another three hours together. 347 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: Woo goes by very very fast when you're having fun. 348 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: We've been talking about lessons from Europe because we just 349 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: took a little river cruise and then spent some time 350 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: in Paris last couple of weeks. But Tina and I 351 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: are rested and we're back and life is good, and 352 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: I just wanted to share some of those lessons with you, 353 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: the main lesson being whether it was the fusion of 354 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,719 Speaker 1: contemporary and classic design elements for your home and that 355 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: everything is possible, but even more so, just re underscoring 356 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: the idea that when it comes to your home, design 357 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: is what matters most. You've got places like Paris, which 358 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: you know, I say that word and all sorts of 359 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: images come to everybody's mind. Most of them are lovely 360 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: and fanciful. And to think that in eighteen eighty, I'm sorry, 361 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: eighteen fifty Paris was like the least the last place 362 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: you would want to visit because outside the beautiful palaces, 363 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: the slums that existed in that city from medieval times forward, 364 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: just the filth, the darkness, not good. And yet one 365 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: set of individuals set out to transform that city through design, 366 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: and within basically a twenty year span, by the time 367 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: we hit the eighteen eighties, Paris was arguably and still 368 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: is to this day, arguably the most beautiful city in 369 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: the world in many ways. And this is the power 370 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: of what design can do when you unleash it, and 371 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: the same transformative power can be true of your home 372 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: as well. So I just wanted to tie that all 373 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: together for you, and then you know, it's been a 374 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: while since I've given you your money's worth of a 375 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: closing thought. You know, last year was a very trying year, 376 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: and I've had a lot of things running through my mind. 377 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: But you know, we're rested now and got our feet 378 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: back under us in a lot of ways. And so 379 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: I was actually on the boat that we were cruising 380 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: up the Rhine in having some conversations with what Tina 381 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: and our friends call vacation friends. And I'm not allowed 382 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: to make too many vacation friends, but I love to, 383 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: and so does my buddy Dawn. And anyway, I was 384 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: having a conversation with some folks from Oklahoma and we 385 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: were talking about one of his struggles with his his 386 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: business and things that he was just pulling so many 387 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: things together and I said, sounds like, you know, you've 388 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: pulled it together with a lot of integrity. And he said, well, 389 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to call it integrity 390 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: because there were so many things that were competing against it. 391 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: And I told him, I said, well, you know that's 392 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: what integrity is all about. Integrity is not one thing. 393 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: Integrity is about pulling together so many different things. And 394 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: we had a conversations about that and he's like, you 395 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: know what, you should share that on your show, and 396 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: so here I am going to take his advice. Integrity. 397 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: It's become one of my all time favorite words. It 398 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: comes from the idea of being integrated, pulling many things 399 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: into one cohesive thing, something that holds together, something that 400 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: can be counted on. And usually that's a very very 401 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: good thing. In the world of construction, we talk about 402 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: buildings having structural integrity, many parts holding together as one. 403 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: In the architectural world, as I've been sharing with you 404 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: all morning, we talk about something having design integrity, many 405 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: elements telling a single cohesive story and all in all, 406 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: we love people of integrity because we can trust them. 407 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: In people, integrity is about honesty and transparency. You know, 408 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: what you see is what you get consistency when somebody's 409 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: words and actions are dependably linked together. That's what we 410 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: call integrity. And we love that because we can trust people. 411 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: We don't have reason to fear them, because a person 412 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: of integrity is integrated word and deed outside and inside, 413 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,239 Speaker 1: and we feel like we can know them and we 414 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: do know them because they are what they appear to be, 415 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: and we don't have to fear them, and as people 416 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: who have so many reasons to fear so many things 417 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: in this life, having somebody around with integrity in your 418 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: life is a great soothing balm. People of integrity bring 419 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: other people rest and peace. The big question is how 420 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: do you pull that off? How do we become those people? Well, 421 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: as I see it, the answer is simple, but not 422 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: necessarily easy. To have integrity is to become integrated, to 423 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: humbly at times acknowledge and then pull together all the 424 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: disparate parts of who we are and have no doubt 425 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: we are each made up of many, many disparate parts. 426 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: And I'll just speak for myself here. I am legion, 427 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: And that is not usually used as a positive thing. 428 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: That phrase comes from the Gospels. It's the account of 429 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: Jesus calling out a demon possessed man and he says, 430 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: tell me your name, and the man answers, I am legion, 431 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: for we are many, and I'm just going to tell 432 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: you I can relate to that. I'm not saying I 433 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: am possessed by the devil. I am saying there are 434 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: a lot of voices in me, some adult voices, some 435 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: are adolescent voices, some are eyes. Some are playful, some 436 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: are hungry and like a demon possessed man. To the 437 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: degree that I don't acknowledge those voices, name those voices, 438 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: or learn to understand those voices, to the degree I 439 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: ignore them, or I am ashamed of them, or try 440 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,239 Speaker 1: to silence those voices, to that degree, I am not 441 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: an integrated person. And to that degree I lack integrity. 442 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: To that degree I cannot be trusted to behave consistently. 443 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: It's those voices that are pushed down or pushed out 444 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: that eventually break loose one day, grab the steering wheel 445 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: and unexpectedly run the car right off the road. And 446 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: I know you know what I'm talking about. So what 447 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: I've learned to do is try to bring them together, 448 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: like the gathering of a tribe around the council fire 449 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: of my heart. I try to bring those voices together 450 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: and let everybody speak their piece about the big issues 451 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: that I face on my b yest days. Everybody gets 452 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: a voice, the wise, the foolish, the hungry, the angry, 453 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: the sad, the kids. And then when I've checked in 454 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: with all of me, I try to make a plan 455 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: that we can all agree on, and we walk into 456 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: the world as me a complicated but integrated person. You'll 457 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: never have integrity if the child and you who wants 458 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: ice cream is ignored. But also that child won't survive 459 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: to get their ice cream if you let them drive 460 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: the car. It's always a balance, it's a negotiation. It's 461 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: often hard, but it's always good. And I just like 462 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: sharing that with you. Maybe you already knew it, maybe 463 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: it helps you get your arms around something that didn't 464 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: quite make sense. But integrity is not about just being 465 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: one thing. It's about many, many things acting as one. 466 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: And for me, that understanding is one of the big 467 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: tools that helps me build myself a beautiful life. And 468 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: I hope it becomes that for you too. Until we 469 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: see each other next weekend, get out there, get busy 470 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: building yourself one. We'll see you right back here next weekend. 471 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: This has been Home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper. 472 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: Tune into the live broadcast on KFI AM six forty 473 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: every Saturday morning from six to eight Pacific time, and 474 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: every Sunday morning from nine to noon Pacific time, or 475 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
