The speaker also shared their experience with a reliable foundation repair company, Parent Structural Services, emphasizing their honesty and expertise. During the conversation, the topic of multi-tools came up, with Brad advocating for the Gerber 600 as the best option, while acknowledging that the Leatherman is still a good tool. The speakers also shared some personal experiences and anecdotes, such as the speaker's ex-mother-in-law's experience in the hospital and their interaction with a deceased woman across the hall.

      To make Doritos chicken, properly coat the chicken in flour, egg wash, and then crush up Doritos before coating the chicken in them. This ensures that the Doritos stick well to the chicken. The mistake made in the past was putting the chicken directly into the crushed Doritos without letting it sit and dry first, resulting in the Doritos falling off during frying.

Meanwhile, in a different context, the importance of asking better questions in life to achieve personal growth is emphasized in The Ed Mylett Show.

Overall, the discussion highlights the importance of personal growth, self-improvement, and seeking knowledge through various means.
