What’s Better Than Ketchup on Scrambled Eggs?

Is there anything better than ketchup on scrambled eggs? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. We are trying to find the next best thing to put on scrambled eggs, but. first, this portion of today's episode is sponsored by Chime, America's. number one choice for banking. 82% of Americans do not have a high yield savings account. That is a lot.

Mm-hmm. That is, that's way too high, y'all. Chime's high yield savings account earns while you sleep. Yeah, I mean, we went for years when we were younger keeping most of our. money in a checking account, not taking advantage of a high yield savings account. We could've been- God, younger us ... getting our money to work for us, but we didn't. Man. Man, we could've bought so many more Mello Yellos. Ugh, I hate my younger self. Is that what, is that what I'm supposed to take from this? If I could, if I could go back and say anything to my younger self, it would only be to put my money in a high yield savings account.

Yes, well, let's... We can't do it. We can't do it. But you can do it. Chime has a 3.75% APY, so if you have $7,000, you'd make over $260, and in a. regular savings account, you'd only make $27. That's a lot less. They're also offering 5% cash back in a category of your choice with Chime Card. You can choose things like gas, bills, or my personal favorite, dining. Mm-hmm, and you can set up a savings goal in the app, choose what you're saving.

Now, a lot of people don't put anything on their scrambled eggs. Hm. But- Pepper, salt ... Some people, some people, like me,

we like to put ketchup on them. A little healthy squirting of ketchup. Sometimes I will put ketchup on my eggs. Oh, I've seen you. But when I do it, it's because I'm searching. Ah. And I... There's gotta be something better. Okay. It's time for Next Best Thing: Scrambled Eggs and Ketchup Edition. Let's get a little reminder of what it tastes like to just do it this way. This is a polarizing choice already, I will say that.

I mean, if, if I got hash browns beside my eggs- It's good. It's good ... I'm putting the ketchup in a, in a big thing right. there beside the hash browns so I can add the right amount each time. That's how it started probably. And then I start putting the eggs in there. Don't you think it probably happened incidentally? That people put ketchup on something else- Yeah ... they touch their eggs. and they're like, "Well, okay. Well, let me try that on purpose." The. acidity of it is a good complement. Nicole, you did a good job on these scrambled eggs.

Thank you so much. I feel like I'm working the omelet station at a buffet. Yes, because you're gonna do these fresh every round? Every single damn round. Whoa, whoa. I'm really excited. Hold on, now. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm sorry. I never get to really do that. No, I love the enthusiasm. Thank you so much. That's... Is it... Did she have that dog in her? Woof. I don't, I don't have an opinion on that. Cholula, hot sauce in general actually, is probably somebody's. first, um, ahead of ketchup.

It has become my first. Don't tell everyone. Unless you don't like hot sauce, this- I, I, I don't eat eggs now without hot sauce. But the... Do you use Cholula specifically? Um, I'm not a... I like, I have Cholula at my house. I love Cholula. It's great. I have, uh- Valentina? ... Texas Pete. I have, we have Valen- There was Valentina? I used it yesterday on something. I like, you know, I'm not faithful when it comes to my hot sauces.

I like, they all bring something different. Cholula's great, though. It's automatically gonna go up there. But let me make an argument for ketchup being better. Make it, son. It's not as hot. All I taste is the hot sauce. I don't taste any egg. Hmm. And s- something about the acidity of this, it kind of... I, I have. a renewed appreciation for this. I think both of them together would be good. Equal. I'd... Equal.

Yeah. These are equal. Now I kind of want the sweet of the ketchup, the sweet and the vinegar of. the ketchup with the hot sauce, but that's not what we're doing here today. You can do it on your own time, but I'll get you ready for it. And did you see the wooden top? Can we talk about that? When I- No, I won't ... I moved here 15 years ago from a place called North. Cackalacky, and this is the first time I ever saw... There's so many things. that we discovered when we came here. I'm sure this is everywhere now. But I remember, we were probably together, we were probably at a restaurant. We saw this wooden top.

We're like, "Look at that wooden top." That's cool. Look at that wooden top. We're from North Carolina. Boy. And they got, they got wood on their bottles out here in California. It's like they stuck the hot sauce bottle in a tree and pulled it out. Well, stay. And and the top of the t- the, the sauce bottle became part of the tree . You sound, you sound like the sheriff from Robin Hood. Yeah. Which we recently watched together. He, we... It's such a good movie. Okay, this is something that a lot of people do.

But I can say I've never done it. Yes. Soy sauce. Never done it, but it kinda makes sense. Soy sauce. You got that salt. You got that umami. Hot. Boy, it's hot. Hmm. Hmm. It's gonna take a lot to beat hot sauce, but maybe not for you.

I like salty eggs, so this is working. I'm als- I mean, I, I'm usually just, like, salt and lots of pepper. This kinda does ... It checks both of those boxes. This checks the pepper box? It, it's, I mean, in a weird umami kinda way. It's, it's a lot better to me than I thought it would be to me. To you? Mm-hmm. Well, I'm glad you're thinking for yourself now, 'cause if you were think-. I'm just, no, I'm just speaking for myself.

No, I'm just saying- ... if you said to someone else- ... I'd be worried about you. You're identifying with yourself. You're not worried about me. That's good. Is that what you're saying? I'm not worried about you. About this? Not about this s- specifically, yes. But, but maybe you did wake up in the middle of the night worried about me. I didn't wake up last night. May- I slept all the way through the night ... maybe, like, recently or. occasionally you do wake up in the middle of the night just thinking about me. Just worried about you? Well, thinking about me. Thinking about you? Yeah, just like, thought- I don't know ... maybe had a thought about me.

I got, I, there's probably about seven things I get through before I get to. you, and usually I go back to sleep by the time I'm, I'm on number six. Well, I, I don't wanna be a burden. Okay, good. Um- This is not gonna be- It's not better than hot sauce, is it? ... that for me. It- But I'm not speaking for anyone else. Okay. It seemed like it was going to. Just so you know. I know. It seemed like- I thought about it ... you did the old Link-. I, I- ... the Link curve ball. It, I mean, a, the beauty of eggs is that. Well, the thing that sucks about eggs- Yeah ... is that you, they're always there, and you gotta do something different.

So sometimes you need to do that, if you're me. Yeah. We can mix it up with this, but it's not gonna dethrone hot sauce. Some people do this intentionally, and many of us do it unintentionally when. we have pancakes on the same plate. Yes. Maple syrup. Here we go. And people do it- Just unabashedly all over it ... people do it in a McGriddles. Oh, yeah. You know? You, you got eggs and maple syrup going on in a McGriddle situation.

Is it too sweet? It feels like m- I've got too much flate, f- plate infiltration. Which I call flate for short. Too much plate infiltration. The, the pancakes going into this is not something I ever like. I always start pushing my eggs over. Mm. I try to get them away from it. Too, too sweet. It, it's overwhelming. W- with some hot sauce, it'd be good, though. It, it doesn't ... Eggs don't soak it up.

When, when you've got a pancake with that stuff on it-. Yeah ... the pancake soaks it up. Sponge. And, and it, it's kind of, it's, it's like it's speaking to me saying- I wanted this. The eggs are speaking to me saying, "I don't, I don't want this.". But you know what would be good? Pancake that's got, that soaked it up, eggs placed nicely on top of the pancake-. Mm-hmm ... so they don't get too juicy. And then- And a little hot sauce on top of that. And then a sausage patty. And then a sausage patty, and then another soaked pancake on top of that. Oh.

And then an M- Nope. seared into the top. No, but cheese. Cheese. You forgot the cheese. Cheese. And then an M seared into the- Yes. If you're gonna have this- Mm ... you gotta add a lot of other things that. we're just not prepared to do today. I mean- We're not gonna do it. Nicole's already doing so much for us. So much. That ain't going up there. Nope. Now we head to uncharted territory, things that we haven't seen anybody do, but maybe they should've been doing them. Hummus. I'm glad that Nicole is putting everything on there so we don't.

have to decide, but it seems like you couldn't... How did you decide? What do you... Hummus? Like, what, the hummus is not every... It's, like, a dollop in the middle. I, like, art, it's artistic expression, man. Yeah. But, but how- Art is my, food is my art. How much? How m- y- how m- You know it's based off vibes. It's tough to know how much to put. I'm just basing it off of vibes, man. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. All right. I mean- Yeah. I don't, I don't hate it. You can totally see this being done on some sort of, like- I actually like a lot. of hummus though ... there's probably a breakfast burrito, a Mediterranean style. breakfast burrito is what they'll call it at some place, and they would do this. And it just would have other stuff in it, but hummus would be one of the ingredients. I, I think you need to go hard with the hummus.

Y- we have the option to just go on the edge and not go hard with hummus, but- But you can take just a- Put that on a T-shirt, go hard with hummus. So you could go, get with the hummus first and then come for the eggs. Yeah, give me more hummus. There it is. Go hard with hummus. Hey, you know what that did? Go hummus or go home. Well, so what you did- A lot of T-shirts ... what you did just is gonna. undo what I w- the thing I discovered. Going with this, and it's cold, and then getting with the hot, now you're gonna make.

all the hummus lukewarm, but it's fine. The thing I appreciated it, about this is the, the contrast in temperature. Mm. Which you're probably still experiencing right now. Yeah. Oh, crap, Rhett. Yeah. Come on, let's have fun. When the- Ooh. Yep, that- ... that, that could have, but it didn't, and that's okay. Oh, I'm very familiar with the strength of a Cholula bottle. You wouldn't believe how f- how you can't break it 'cause of the wood on it.

It's amazing. If we keep this up, we're gonna have to get chickens 'Cause we are finding so many. things that we like on scrambled eggs. We had chickens here that were out there in our little area. Remember that? The ones we walked. Yeah, for, um, Wonderhole season zero. Balsamic vinaigrette. Newman's Own. Uh, okay. This, we have- The, the artiste went generous. We have a leakage situation again. We have a leak through the eggs because the eggs can't hold it all.

The darkness kind of looks like you've fried these eggs in, um, bacon grease. Um, that's not doing it for me, Link. That's weird. That's weird. Something about the temperature of those eggs with a salad dressing on it. That's weird. I don't hate it, though, because it's, it's got a pepperiness. I love balsamic.

I love balsamic. But I, you know what I wanna dip in that? It's weird. Bread. Bread. I want something that absorbs. Yeah. Yep, you need that in the middle. There's no way that that's gonna top hummus, which, yes, topped hot sauce. It did. And you know one of the reasons it did? Is because- We're open-minded ... eggs can't absorb hummus, no matter how hard they try. If you are an All Access member of the Mythical Society, you. can watch our latest vlog.

We took a trip to Austin, and we got on some e-bikes and went looking for a troll. I was excited about the troll. Rhett didn't believe the troll existed. Uh, did I prove him wrong? Probably. Spoiler alert. It was, it's fantastic. It's fantastical. MythicalSociety.com We have sweet relish. Yeah, this looks like it might be salsa verde. It's not. 'Cause I'll put some salsa verde on my eggs. Pickles on your eggs? But sweet pickles.

Whole different category, too. Oh, I'm trying to get- But maybe that's- ... out of your way a little. bit ... maybe that's a good call. I don't know. A strong... I mean, it's a strong flavor, but it's not a strong performance. Overpowering. Yeah. But I, what I will say is that less... More complimentary than I anticipated, but the, the, the, the pe- the, what do you call this? Relish. Pickles.

It's really pickles. It's like a 95% of the taste is pickles. This is a pregnancy- Eggs are too subtle ... pregnancy craving. weirdness- Yeah ... happening here. This should never- It should never. Mm-mm. I think if you can't eat eggs, you know, like, you, you feel like- Yeah ... you. need to eat eggs, but you just can't stomach them because you don't like the. way they taste- Then put pickles on them. put pickles on them. If you like pickles. Wow. You gotta be really motivated to eat eggs if the way you're doing it is by adding pickles. Well, what if, if you, what if somebody says, "If you don't eat these.

pickles, I'll kill you? I mean, these, uh, eggs, I'll kill you." You know? If- Um, funny you say that, because that, that has happened to me. Yeah. Clam chowder, New England style. You got ... It's white. It's not the red kind. It's white. What ... Ma- Manhattan clam chowder just needs to go away. Yeah. But- Needs to sink ... but does this need to go on eggs? Let, let me, let me g- let me- Paint a picture here ... paint a picture. You're in Maine.

You like taters. You like taters. You like taters with your eggs. Taters are in clam chowder. You like sauce, like a white sauce. Think of it like a gravy, like a white gravy with potatoes, eggs. All it really needs, it's begging for hot sauce. I thought you were gonna say clams. Nope. Oh, did that go in there? Did that go onto the eggs? I don't want this to be in the show. But it's right here and I got it. That's just, that's just not the type of thing I want to be in a show.

Me spitting on a plate that we're eating from. Okay. Note to the editors. Holiday party. And I just saw it go out and it just ... Now I can't stop thinking about it. I've grossed myself out. I'm sorry. Sh- right, well sh- And you're staring at it. What about me? Oh, God. Uh-uh. Ugh. I tried so hard. This is one of those situations where- To get us ready for it.

Ah. You got two friends that you like. Ah. But then you invite them both over. And you're like, "Why do I hate both of them?" You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Hold on, now. Uh, it, did that happen? Oh, no, it's never happened to me. What? Never happened to me. Never. And I wa- and I was never one of them? I ... Listen, I've ... This is just an example that could be in anybody's life. I do get it. I do totally get it. You know? It ruined both relationships. That's, like, the best analogy you've said on this show in probably six months.

Oh, well, okay, yeah, well, twice a year, that's my pace. This is horrible. It's so bad, god. Wow, what happened? And I also spit in it. Yeah, you did. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. A real test for the peanut butter boys. We got peanut sauce- Oh, my God ... Thai style. See this, do it on the- Oh, look at that. Mm-hmm. Yes. Good technique. Not easy, but.

... Hmm. Okay. All right. This is giving me something to think about here, 'cause I've had these tastes before. Sometimes you'll get, like, a Thai fried rice- Yes ... that's got some eggs thrown in. Yes, a little bit of egg. Yeah, I mean, this is heavy on the egg, and there's no rice. I realize that. But I'm just saying that- It's just eggs ... these flavors together. I'll put it another way. The non-peanut part of peanut sauce works with eggs.

What is that, Nicole? Huh. She was... You were on your phone. Yes, I was. I was- Don't lie ... I was texting. You checking on the baby? Yeah, I was actually. All right. Well then, uh, I mean, who can fault her for that? I'm so sorry. Well, it's soy sauce. It's soy sauce- Well, I don't know what you guys are talking about ... and peanuts. Your baby is fine. Okay, good. We, we have a monitor. We've been watching her. Is that what the fourth monitor's for, no way. Yeah, down here. We got your baby on the monitor. Oh, right. So sorry.

Ah. Soy sauce, b- water, and then soy sauce. And so soy sauce is mixed with peanut butter is what makes a peanut. sauce, a Thai-style peanut sauce. And I, and for some reason- Don't bring peanut butter into this, man ... it works, it works better ... that's my feeling. It works better. Than hummus? Just, than the soy sauce. But, but we're comparing the hummus. We've forgotten about this beauty up here. It's not as good as hummus. Because hummus, as we all know and expected, is amazing- That's right.

on eggs. Mm-hmm. You could go to thousands of islands looking for chickens to scramble their eggs, and. not find the right sauce to go upon them. Did you know that Thousand Island is not a reference to thousands of islands? It's just a reference to an island called Thousand Island. See? Nicole knows. I was just looking it up and not checking on my baby while I- Yeah. Sorry.

'Cause it would, 'cause it would be called Thousand Islands. Trying to make up for something over there. Now, it might not be appetizing, 'cause the color contrast is not enough. I actually like the unexpected adjacent color combination. It's kind of... It's, it's graphic design-ish, you know? There's, there's- Maybe let's get a graphic designer on the mic, see what, see... Oh.

Oh, I was just joking. You don't have to make- No mic, no mic, no mic. Give me a minute. Here's the thing. I wanna like this, but there's one fatal flaw. The pickles are still in there. Uh, that's not a fatal flaw for me. It's the hot mayonnaise. Don't tell me that, because I eat scrambled eggs. One of my favorite scrambled eggs is scrambled eggs, um, little. pieces of sausage, and cheese. Christy makes that thing up, and it's just, like... It's my favorite.

And I've started adding a big plap of- Chick-fil-A sauce Oh. You can buy Chick-fil-A sauce in the, in the, uh, grocery And it's mostly. mayonnaise And it's mostly mayonnaise. It's kinda like this, and I love it on my eggs. But I need the sausage and the cheese. It's not ... I haven't done it on just the eggs. I do recommend it, though It's kinda growing on me a little bit I like this, too, for the same reason Do we have the hu- We have the hummus We have.

the hummus right here We have hummus. Let me get some non, non-thousand eggs Yeah, that's just ... I, I know it's so. weird, but were we just in a crazy place? It's so weird. I still like it, though I still do like it I like this, too, though You, you. don't like this at all I didn't ... Nope. At first, the hot mayonnaise was throwing me off.

And then I came in- Look at, look at what it looks like when it dries, though. That is scary Can't let it dry It's like building material now. It's like dink, dink, dink. Well, not really. Okay, fine. I just kinda feel like we should go back to hot sauce. I know. We can't do it. But we can't do it. No backsies. We have crossed the Rubicon. And we have found that the next best thing to ketchup on eggs is hummus. Hummus. And no apologies. Yep.

I'm not apologizing for it. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is. My name's Tessa and Tango.
