I'm Sean Duffy, along with my co-host for the podcast, my partner in life and my wife, Rachel Campos Duffy. It's good to be back. I love Q&A. It's my favorite time of the week. And we have just so many fun questions today from so many of our listeners. Let's just get right into it. Okay, so this one should be pretty easy, Sean. What did you have for breakfast this morning? should be pretty easy sean what did you have for breakfast this morning okay uh so normally i don't have breakfast um i try to skip it and so i you're like an intermittent faster i'm trying to yeah uh but your dad made uh bacon this morning so i had a strip of of flax seeds. Sounds exciting.
Starting point is 00:01:26 A little bird, yes. Then I had some peanuts. That sounds awful, actually. I love it. My breakfast, I had a burger with some turmeric kraut on the side and a cup of coffee. I need that protein in the morning morning i've been trying to do that so i've made myself a small little burger and i put some sauerkraut with turmeric on the side nice but i do think a perfect breakfast is eggs oh yeah i know i i usually have that burger with an egg
Starting point is 00:01:58 um with the chicken or duck egg and i like that but i've also like not long ago i was doing whatever when i was having some breakfast i'd do once in a while oatmeal i love um with with blueberries raspberries or strawberries in there and it was like delish to me that is a perfect breakfast although i i'm an egg girl so i'm with you on that myself okay well on that same note what is your favorite meal now not healthy just your favorite meal um i got uh so i got i've so i'm going to give you three things i really like i like sushi right and i'm like i'm a prisoner so i always do salmon avocado sushi rolls by prisoner he means i eat the same i've
Starting point is 00:02:37 always said to sean that if if he ever got sent to prison he'd be fine because he's capable of eating the same thing every day and not getting tired of it if he likes it. I like a filet steak and I like a hamburger. Those are my favorites. How about you? I'm going to give you two. I'm going to say I love a ribeye. Medium rare. Cannot go wrong with that. I can't eat a ribeye, but yes.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Sorry. There's nothing better than bread with salted butter. It's still like, it's just amazing. If you have good bread and salted butter, the's still like, it's just amazing. If you have good bread and salted butter, the simplicity of it, it's just delicious. Oh, salted. Your sister brought some salted butter to the house last weekend, and I had just-
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, some like Amish stuff. It was amazing. Oh my goodness. I know, I've been having a lot of bread with salted butter. Yes. And by the way, I'm one of those people that, I know this, the trend is like no carbs. I'm not one of those people. Like I want to eat more protein, but I just believe in
Starting point is 00:03:30 a balance and you know, some carbs I think are fine. Listen, I don't, I try not to eat too many carbs, but if I'm at a restaurant and there's salted butter and like the soft roll, like I can't say no to that. I'm like, I'm sorry. You shouldn't say no to that i'm like i'm sorry you shouldn't say sometimes it's not like you have you should not salt that's on the little the little the little piece of bread yeah like salted bread and salted butter oh i know then we both love salt that is like something we agree on for sure um okay so we're gonna we're gonna move around in all kinds of these questions are like all over the map um do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert sean it's interesting i'm both so if there's some uh situation circumstances where i am very extroverted very outgoing very engaging say there's political
Starting point is 00:04:20 events and i've got to do that and i'm actually actually pretty good at that. I'm just good at, you love those. But I have to be in the right mindset. I see you there. I do. You know, some people do political events and they actually get exhausted at the end or they dread them.
Starting point is 00:04:38 You do them. And I feel like it, it gives you energy. Well, I do like people have to pull me away. Like I'll stay there for it and be like, listen, we got to go to the next event. have to leave yeah that's your staff would have
Starting point is 00:04:48 to do that all the time i like to stay but whereas you look at ron desantis and he looks so uncomfortable trying to small talk and for you i don't think it feels like small talk you're genuinely interested in other people but i get other circumstances where i don't like i'm like i just kind of want to hang out and be a little i don't know i just I don't feel as engaging so I can ebb and flow. Usually I'm pretty outgoing, but sometimes I'm like, nah, I don't mind being a little, I feel uncomfortable. I'm a little wallflower. I don't know. How about you? What are you? I've always been an extrovert. However, what's interesting is as I've aged, I have become, I wouldn't say an introvert, but I have become much more of a homebody. I like to be home in my house.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I don't mind. I don't need to go out. In fact, sometimes I dread having to go out. I mean, we have dinner planned this week with our friends and my parents, which I'm looking forward to that. But for the most part, I like to stay home and I like to stay home and I like to make food and watch a movie with you and kind of hang out. I become more of a homebody.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Is that because of the complication of going out, whether it's we have to deal with kids or babysitters? Here, as the kids have gotten older, we have built-in sitters. No, I think it's an age thing. I think when I was young, I loved to go out and I was big on that. And now I'm just getting old, Sean. You're not though. You look like you're a little spring chicken. Yeah. I'm a spring chicken. I'm ready. You don't age. Okay. What is your favorite part of your job and your least favorite part of your job? I know what your least favorite part of your job is.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Well, so at Fox, I have to come in. I have to be there for a show from 6 to 7, East Coast. So I'm there when the kids come home from school. And I come home right when they're going to bed. So I miss the nighttime with our kids. And the older ones are awake a little bit longer so I can see them. A lot of times the little ones might already be in bed. Have already fallen asleep. So we like to do a prayer time together as a family.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Sometimes they're a little longer, but oftentimes they can be really short. But we like to do that together as a family, and I'll miss that. So is that your least favorite part of the job is missing the – Yeah. You know what I thought you were going to say? I guess I got it wrong. I thought you were going to say that your least favorite part of the job is that since you've become a Monday through Friday host, you can know, and you're not a contributor, you can't base yourself out of Wisconsin in the summer.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So that would be a secondary one. Listen, I had a lot of freedom. You did. I got to do a lot of different stuff. As a contributor, it was way better. I could work from anywhere. We had a studio at the cabin. I could be up there for six, seven months. If I had some conference calls that I had to do as well, I could do those also. And now I'm kind of on lockdown. And so I spent, I got four days over the fourth and then I went up for a week, but I'm not used to that. I'm used to that. So which favorite part of the job?
Starting point is 00:07:36 I'm an old dog myself. And to be able to do a show where we're able to bring the news and the conversation and my thoughts to a great Fox Business audience. I love that. And to be part of the conversation and the cycle and help craft what I think is going on and unpack what is going on, I think is a really wonderful job to have. It's a privilege. And by the way, I got to do that in a different way in Congress, right? As part of the conversation is crafting policy. This is similar related, but different than, than Congress,
Starting point is 00:08:09 but I still enjoy it. How about you? Least favorite part. Well, listen, I get up before 3. I am. So obviously that's my least part, favorite part of the job. Although my favorite part of the job makes that easier. And I think my favorite part of the job, it's twofold. One, I love working with Will and Pete. I think it's just, it's just fun. We have a great time. I don't, it doesn't feel like work when we're in the middle of it. Cause we just have a lot of fun together. But I, and I think the other part is I love, I love the news. I love politics. I get angry sometimes about what's
Starting point is 00:08:41 going on. I do, but I do consider it an honor and a privilege to be able to help decide what gets out there. Cause as a host, we get, we get some say, we don't get the full say, but we get a little bit of say in what, what, what we get to present there in the news. And also my ability to have a platform to speak for other people. I think the greatest compliment that I get from people is thank you for speaking for me. Thank you for saying what I'm thinking. And for me, that's a real privilege. And it's something I take really seriously. I feel like there's a lot of people out there, whether it's because of they're afraid they might get canceled or in some way lose their job or something for saying what
Starting point is 00:09:22 they think. I think that we get paid to say what we think. And that's, and I, and I take it very seriously that I can represent the way a lot of people think people who can't, who don't really feel they have the freedom to say that publicly. And they're, they're very grateful that we can. Now, I don't think people should outsource their voices. I think the more we all speak, the better our country will be when we speak the truth. But I do understand that some people just also don't feel comfortable in even a family setting saying what they think, but they watch our shows and they hear what we have to say and they feel very edified in the way that they- You guys have a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:10:01 We have a lot of fun on Fox and Friends. You have a lot of serious topics um a lot of really really smart conversation that you will and pete have together which it's it's really enjoyable but we also do like goat yoga right yeah we do yoga with goats and things like that we go down water by the way the goats were wearing diapers that was like such a funny episode so we were doing yoga as goats with diapers were walking over our backs it was it's so fox and friends and then we'll go from that to like you know in interviewing you know i don't know somebody really important like faraj yeah somebody so anyway it's very fox and friends so that's a good one okay who is your
Starting point is 00:10:42 celebrity i love when the like if the goat fell off it was trying to claw itself back up on a back and it was like oh that's it feels weird to have a goat on your back um they're baby goats dig those hooves those hooves in your side um who is your celebrity crush oh gosh who's my celebrity crush you go first i don't know i gotta think about that i'm trying to think who would i who would i i don't know which is a good idea like i don't know. I got to think about that. Come on, Sean. I'm trying to think. Who would I? Who would I? I don't know. Which is a good idea. Like, I don't have. I don't really have one. No.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Aw. Well, but I'll try to answer the question. I'll try to think of who I would have. But I don't have someone like, oh, this is it. Like, you asked me what's my favorite food. I can give you the three things that I love to have. Okay. Why don't you?
Starting point is 00:11:24 I know who your celebrity crush is. Don't pretend like ponder this for a little while as you it's Sean. It's Penelope Cruz. Well, we do have a thing. That's true. I do have all something together, but you know,
Starting point is 00:11:35 she's kind of falling under the limelight. So that was maybe a thing of, we had a thing in the past Penelope and I did. We met on a bus once, just, you know, I was with the baby at the front pack in Madrid. Penelope came on. Our eyes caught
Starting point is 00:11:48 as Rachel was on the plane. We were married. I'm kidding. We were married, but you had a moment with you and Penelope Cruz where you talked. She's beautiful. She didn't even have makeup on. I saw her later on in the airport or earlier in the airport and then Sean saw her
Starting point is 00:12:04 on this bus we rode together that was a great few minutes Penelope she's a beautiful woman yeah so growing up I love old Hollywood and so I've always had a thing for Paul Newman
Starting point is 00:12:19 I love Paul Newman I love watching his movies I think he's so sexy I thought you'd go with Elvis or Paul Newman. I love Paul Newman. I love watching his movies. I think he's so sexy. Did you say Elvis? I thought you'd go with Elvis or Paul Newman. I love Elvis, but not in the way I love Paul Newman. It's a different kind of thing with Paul Newman.
Starting point is 00:12:35 And then, you know, in that vein... I only know Paul Newman through his dressing. I never watched any of his dressing. So you know. Well, we'll have to sit down and watch Cat on a hot tin roof and giant and all the great movies doesn't seem very exciting um okay and so then the other um the other one is brad pitt which who has a vein of paul newman and frankly sean you have a little
Starting point is 00:12:57 bit of paul newman in you and i always think that it's that little bit of paul newman i see in you that is why it's because i can kick up a great salad dressing like no bit of paul newman i see in you that is why it's because i can kick up a great salad dressing like no one else paul newman and me listen paul newman a young paul newman there's just i mean and brad pitt by the way brad pitt's aging very nicely yes he is i mean he's in his 60s i think he's 60 yeah yes he is 60 at least least 60, maybe 61. He looks fantastic. He has aged very well. He's juicing. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Well, it's working for him. I'm just saying. We'll have more of this conversation after this. This episode is brought to you by Mejuri.

Okay, here's one. What is the most important quality in a partner, in a spouse? I think fun and laughter. So there's a lot of things that are really important, like the friendship.
Starting point is 00:14:17 But what's important? I mean, getting to be able to have fun in your life and fun with your partner, your mate is really important. And this is something I noticed from Rachel, which was one of the things I fell in love with. If we would travel together, before we were married, we actually met on a travel adventure. But I saw this when we were married and we traveled together. She has this thing where we would go places and we would do things that I would have never done had I traveled by myself or traveled
Starting point is 00:14:46 with somebody else. Cause she would talk to people and meet people and get advice from people. And like, we would see things and go places that we never would have gone to or seen, but for your willingness to go chat people up and what do we want to do? And we're here, we're new here. We're only up two days here. And so I love you're really fun to travel with. I think you're fun with the kids. If we go to the cabin. I can't say I'm not fun anymore. In fact, they saw some old movies that you pulled up and they said, you're not as fun anymore.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I'm like, yeah, because I'm running the show. But you're right. When we were dating, I bet I was a lot more fun. When we get away together, you're a lot of fun. So I did a legacy box. You see those ads all the time for legacy boxes. So I did legacy box like a couple of years ago. And I thought I had all my videos and I sent them in. And I'm like, this is not close to all my videos, but the kids love to sit down and watch old videos. All the other ones.
Starting point is 00:15:46 You did. And I sent, so I put out two more big boxes of old videos. I can't play them. I don't have the means to play them any longer. So they sent back these little, these little drives for me. And I got the first box back and I haven't looked at them yet, but the kids love to look back and I did so many videos and I narrated them really well. I would have been a TikTok star if I was.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah. If only you would use it 20 years ago, your own social media. I think loyalty. And it's not to say, obviously I want to be with someone fun. I want to do it, but I think, just think loyalty is just really important in a marriage. And I think, you know, if someone's got your back, I just think that is just really important in a marriage. And I think if someone's got your back, I just think that's just so important in life. I think life is hard and there's things that happen.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And I don't think I could get through it without... I don't think I'd get through life without having someone who had my back. It just makes life better. Someone who's smothering you, calling you, texting you all the time. Sometimes you're a little smothering. You're like, enough. Leave me alone. I need my alone time. Okay. So what's the last thing you binge watched and loved? So first of all, I've watched the- By the way, we don't watch all the same stuff no we don't so I'm watching I'm just I'm watching the Lincoln
Starting point is 00:17:07 some of the Lincoln lawyer episode season two on Netflix is that a series it is is it good just now it's not the first is the first one was pretty good what you loved something you the last thing you loved that you binge watched what did I so I never watched
Starting point is 00:17:24 John John Wick so Johnul and i was like john paul's our son yeah sorry uh john paul's our son we we watched the does it the first three or four john wicks and yeah the thing is four are you liking it we're done it was i thought that that wasn't serious that was a set of movies um i like john wick yeah it was and again it's a guy's movie you would not have liked it cars guns long fight scenes really good um sorry Andrea John Wick so the thing I last binge watched and I actually really liked was uh White Lotus my daughter told me to watch it it was a little racy um but it was very interesting storylines and I love just sort of the the film the the
Starting point is 00:18:03 it was visually very beautiful to watch the first season was in hawaii the second was in um sicily and the and the next one's going to be in bali i thought it was a it was interesting and there were things i like in yeah there's different there's different casts each season and they're at a different hotel resort um it's somebody said it was kind of like vacation porn, if you will. You get to see what beautiful locations and you get to see the most beautiful
Starting point is 00:18:32 interesting sites from these locations. So I thought that was interesting and I liked it. The last thing we saw together that we really both loved was a long time ago but you and i both love uh this is us we did what was it what was the first series we watched together and loved
Starting point is 00:18:53 and binged 24 yes i remember that jack bauer that that's old we had to get that went dvds back in the day so on on apple if you're there um severance was really good i thought i didn't expect that as i pull it up i'm like i'll just check this out and i love the severance i like the mosquito coast very good probably shows you never no i don't like watch but anyway all right okay so in your career what has been or who has been the greatest influence in my career is there a politician that you looked up to is there somebody who inspired you to get into you go first in this one i went first last time so what oh i don't know you're gonna say you do who do you think i'm gonna say no no walters well she definitely changed the course of my life there's no question that barbara walters changed the
Starting point is 00:19:41 course of my life when i was a young up and coming you know just trying to make it in in tv she um somehow her and bill getty who by the way just her producer bill getty just passed away yeah um one of the few republicans in like that level of of tv in uh in in broadcast television one of the few Republicans that there were, I'm, I think it was a combination of Bill Getty and Barbara Walters who saw me and met with me and put me on that show and, um, and, and put me up for auditions multiple times. And, um, I had a good relationship with both, but even probably more so with, with Bill Getty. And so they've changed the course of my life by putting me on that show and really getting me on the path
Starting point is 00:20:27 of hosting and broadcasting. But there was another woman. Some people may recognize her from The Apprentice because she was on The Apprentice at one point. Her name is Nellie Galan. And she is a producer a hispanic producer and i met her um through a pilot that i did for fox latino when she was she had a contract to do some hispanic shows and i met her through there and a couple things happened with her that were really interesting um first she was highly
Starting point is 00:21:01 successful um you know came from nothing and from nothing and had this huge contract with Fox to produce some Hispanic in English, but Hispanic oriented programming. When I got the pilot program with her, her and I were talking, I told her I was in grad school at the time and I told her, I like this TV thing. I might drop out of grad school and, and just kind of do this full time. And she said, if you drop out of grad school, I will never work with you again. Your education is really important and you should go back and finish, which of course I went back and told my mom, she was so happy because my mom didn't want me to drop out either when I was thinking about it. So I gave her- Did you drop out? Nope. I finished. I got my master's degree. I think in large part, my mom was praying that
Starting point is 00:21:51 I stayed. And then Nellie Galan said, if you want to keep working, at least with me, you got to finish that. But also she said something to me in a meeting that was very casual, just kind of a one-off, but it stuck with me. And it did change the course of my life because she said, listen, if you're sitting around waiting for your agent to find you a job, you will never get work. You have got to get out there and find your own work. And that has always been my motto in this business. And I've always, you know, pursued my own opportunities and made my own contacts and never sat back and waited
Starting point is 00:22:29 for an audition to come to me. If I wanted to do something, I knew I wanted to at one point work at Fox and I made a lot of those opportunities happen for myself and I'm very proud of it. Now, that's not to say other people didn't help me along the way. My agent helped me and did some things for me,
Starting point is 00:22:43 but I took personal responsibility for my opportunities. So I'm going to give you three names. I'm going to do them quickly. So I was a young DA. I got hired as a DA, and I hired an assistant. His name is Dan Goglin. A big old liberal. Yep.
Starting point is 00:23:00 But Dan Goglin, and I was a young prosecutor. I was his boss. yep but but dan coglan and i was young prosecutor i was his boss he was he was a a very smart great prosecutor um which is what i needed and he was very good to me even though i was his boss but he was an older dog in our office um and so i'm grateful to him he mentored you essentially as a as a lawyer now when i was running for congress he couldn't handle that because he was a democrat and he actually cut and ran ads against me as I ran for Congress.
Starting point is 00:23:28 We have so many experiences with this kind of stuff from Democrats, but... It's true. So, obviously, that was painful and painful. That was me, Dan. That was me.
Starting point is 00:23:35 That was me. But that doesn't undermine what he did for me. And I was a friend of his and he did that as we were friends. But again, good on the professional. The other one I'll tell you is Paul Ryan, who many of you know, he did that as we were friends but again good on the on the professional
Starting point is 00:23:45 the other one i'll tell you is paul ryan who many of you know he's the former speaker of the house from wisconsin and a former republican congressman mark green i went to a state convention and they're both really young and without a republican state convention year would you say this was? This was like 2006, 2005. And I'm like, these are young guys. And I forget what they said in their speeches, but I was inspired. And I'm like, you know what? I mean, I already like politics.
Starting point is 00:24:16 I was at a Republican convention, state convention. But I'm like, these young guys can do it. Why is age going to hold me back? So again, sometimes you don't know who sees what and how guys can do it. Why is age going to hold me back? So again, sometimes you don't know who sees what and how it can inspire them. So interesting. That's what those guys did for me. It was like,
Starting point is 00:24:31 I can, I can do that. And frankly, I did. You did. I did. And you did. How has being married to Rachel changed your life?
Starting point is 00:24:41 So you, not your life changed. So listen, I'm, I think it changed you not your life changed so listen i'm um i think how does it change you so rachel sees opportunities everywhere to your to the answer to your last question and there's things that i might think i can't do or shouldn't do and rachel's like are you kidding me of course you can um and even there's some things i was wasn't sure that she could do that she said she could do and
Starting point is 00:25:01 she has so she she doesn't there's not a lot of roadblocks that you have when we look at life and opportunities and things we can and should strive for. So I think that's one of the biggest things I said, I was, I was, I come from a large Catholic family, but as many young people, I had stopped going to church every Sunday and I was I'd go less frequently. You were a better Catholic than I was. And so there was a re-ignition of my faith when we got married, which is a really good thing. And I think a lot of a lot of young people, but especially a lot of young men, have a story like that. And if you don't oftentimes meet someone who matches that core value, you could I could have fallen away from it potentially. I hope that wouldn't have been my story, but it's possible. But you brought out the best in me.
Starting point is 00:25:52 I brought out the Catholic in you. You did. You bring out the best in me oftentimes. And sometimes you can bring out the worst in me too, but usually it's the best. That's marriage for sure. That's right. I would say that you have, I would say that you have what's changed, how you've changed me the most is my ability to communicate in fights. So I think when I came into marriage, I had a way of communicating that was very aggressive and I had to win. I had to win and I had to win. And I'm Latin. And I'm fiery. And I would just kind of, you know, I just had to be right all the, you know, when I was. And sometimes that still comes out of me.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I kind of have that, you know, combativeness when I'm pushed. Sometimes when you're not pushed, you just want to be right all the time. That's probably true. That's probably true. Sean is the 10th of 11 children. And something wonderful happened in Sean's family, which is when Sean was growing up, his family went to counseling because one of his siblings had a drug issue. And so it wasn't like his problem.
Starting point is 00:27:07 It became, what's happening in this family. And the result of family counseling is that the Duffy's learn to communicate differently better. And I think Sean brought that to the marriage. And I learned a lot that, you know, I learned a lot that, you know, I'm not fighting with you to win. I'm fighting because I want to improve our marriage. And that changes the nature of the fight. Right. So if I'm if I'm and by the way, we do argue. Of course, of course, we argue and we disagree on things and we see things in each other that we don't like. But the one thing is we're married, which is why we were talking in an earlier episode about how many kids now are young people don't want to get married.
Starting point is 00:27:53 They just live together. And but that's what changes for a couple in a relationship is when they are married and they are married as we are in a sacrament as Catholics for life. So if I'm going to live with you forever, it changes the nature of how we fight because I want to work this out. I want to make myself better. I want you to make yourself better. I want this fight to make us better as a couple because I don't have any way out. You're never going to get rid of me. We're in this for life. And so I think I didn't have the skill set to do that in a productive way, to fight in a productive way, in a way that actually made our marriage better. And you taught me to listen more and to do it more productively. And I didn't have
Starting point is 00:28:43 it. And I would say I have a little Irish grudge holding that happens with me. Oh, right. He does. Rachel burns really hot. I don't have, I don't hold grudges. But she doesn't burn very long. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Burns hot, but then it dies out pretty quick. And so Rachel's a good forgiver. And that's something that I still strive to always do a better job, let things go. But you set a good example of forgiveness and letting things go and repairing and all those things are really good. Last question.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Okay. It's a good one. It is. It is. What gadget or product do you own that has changed your life? Okay. I'm not going to go with the standard.
Starting point is 00:29:27 My phone. Okay. So at Christmas, your brother and sister and their kids all came down for Christmas. And one of the kids, one of your nieces, one of my nieces, opened up a present.
Starting point is 00:29:40 And it was... It was actually for you. No, no, it wasn't. It was for her. It was an egg. It's like an egg, like, no, it wasn't. It was for her. It was an egg. It's like an egg, like a six thing. You put a little top on it. It'll cook your egg to a soft boil, medium boil or hard boil.
Starting point is 00:29:52 You know how like if you have an egg and you try and you want to boil it. And if you're like me or Sean, you don't like hard boiled. You like either soft or medium boiled. You put it in the hot water in the pan and it never comes out right. And I was doing eggs on my salad and i could never get them right and our niece got an an egg cooker like an egg whatever the other thing the egg whatever it cooks your eggs and so i'm like oh my god that's amazing i would love one of those and then my we switched we exchanged names uh in the family.
Starting point is 00:30:25 He didn't realize he actually was getting one himself. I got one myself. And Paloma had my name. And she was like, open your present. I'm like, no, I only have like two presents. I'm like, I'm going to wait. And she's like, no, open it now. And I waited and opened it.
Starting point is 00:30:37 And she had actually got me an egg cooker as well. You got one too. Yeah, you got one too. And I love it. It's a great thing. You put your eggs in. And there's like this little measuring cup and you measure how much water do you want a hard boiled soft boiled
Starting point is 00:30:51 or medium boiled and depending on how you want your egg you put that much water in and the egg comes out perfectly the way you want it it's soft boiled medium boiled or hard boiled and the peel of the the peels off it actually peels off easier there's i didn't know this existed in the world i'm like and i i got it and i loved it i actually brought one to the cabin as well i think i don't want to sell this person out at fox but i think he has one because because i see it no i think bill hammer has a because pete saw p Pete and I talked about it and like while we were On the show he's like that's an amazing product Because I was telling him about it after you got it
Starting point is 00:31:29 And he ordered it himself like right there On the show What about you? I had I was thinking about I mean I do love the egg thing as you can tell I think here really quick What product I'm going to tell you what it is.
Starting point is 00:31:46 What is it? It involves your sister, Colleen. I started using she makes little she's like genius. She knows everything about health, nutrition. And she started she was just unsatisfied even with all the organic, wonderful skin products out there. She was like, I can create my own. And I started using the products that she makes. And basically I got hooked on oils for my skin. So every morning, every night I use these vitamin A and vitamin C
Starting point is 00:32:18 oils that she makes this whole concoction of essential oils and send them to me every couple months because that's how long they last, about a couple months each. And I also use, she makes me a homemade face scrub. So I don't use any products from the store. I use all these homemade products that your sister makes. And she sells them in this little business. her and her husband have a health food chain in southern california it's called jimbos she only gives them to friends like she's not a business business no no it's like for friends right so people so she doesn't sell online but it's just a word of mouth she does but she this is the most amazing product because i've got some from her as well that i've used and yeah no she is she. So I would say that probably changed my skin.
