Alright, so I have actually shared
more breakfast OK with you then
I can remember we worked for so
many years together on the early
shift but rumor has it my friend
you make a mean scrambled eggs
and of course that's a rumor.
So we've got to.
We have to banish it with the truth.
So let's find out what are you
making one of these scrambled eggs?
Yeah, OK,
so when you get up at 2:00 in the morning
now for more than a quarter of my life
you start to get your breakfast down
and so my eggs are my favorite thing
and I can make them two different ways.
I have one egg that I can kind
of do low and slow.
Which is like if I'm making eggs for
my kids on a on a Sunday morning.
This is the style that I use.
I use butter, I don't mess around.
I've got the cooking spray here,
which I can use to,
but I'll show you how, but
it really is. I'm trying out
my jacket cooling here, yeah,
but are really is the best way to really
make those eggs taste good. I feel yeah
and it's the non stick you know and
it's OK if you get if there's a chunk
in here for the non stick but you
don't have to dump the whole thing.
I just want to coat the whole pan here
just to make sure you're not getting.
Big stick and and
I apologize 'cause this is a new cook
top for us so we're still running
it so it's so hard and everybody
has their different things. So
yeah, no, it's a big no big deal.
OK so I put the pan on
medium medium to medium low.
I don't do these really fast.
That's a secret.
I usually mix them all up,
scramble em up before I put it in the pan.
Here you want to cleanliness
is next to godliness so keep
that there and then what I do.
The key for my eggs is I massage them.
I massage my eggs, I don't whip them up.
I don't go nuts with them.
I just.
Kind of, if I had my way,
I would do this for like 5 minutes straight
until I actually get them totally cooked.
I could get into that.
It's very mesmerising,
kind of messing with the with the heat here.
I might do these both at
the same time actually just
so we can do that. You want me
to crack any eggs? Yeah, let's
crack some eggs.
Let's crack some eggs here.
There's your eggs. So this is now.
This is my camping style when
I go camping. I use a pot.
I know I've been there with him
because you don't have as much
stuff and so this is kind of the
minimalistic way of doing eggs.
Camping style, do
you want me to scrambling
before we put him in?
No, So what you do is crack
it and put it straight in the
pot here. Copy that. OK, I'm
not very good at cracking, so don't
I just throw it. Everything goes
in the sorry everything goes
in the pot at the same time.
I think you have your bowl
for your shells there.
Yeah, you don't want to cross
contaminate like that's OK,
that's OK. That's alright.
We're going to keep massage ING back here.
Are you saying we need another bowl?
Is that what you're saying? Yeah no, you're
good you have your bowl here to always
keep stuff as close as possible.
So I'm not like letting the egg get
over everything 'cause it's not good.
And you can kind of see that it's certain of
old melt together here the butter in the pot.
This method for me is the most
creamy egg because it's like a soup.
It's an egg soup, right? Eggs?
So you can kind of see this again.
This is a heat issue back here.
That's OK, we're getting there.
But as I kind of keep massaging this,
you can make sure you're on the edges.
I can kind of walk away for a second.
I can go talk to the kids.
We play games on a Sunday
morning and we're good.
OK, so now that we've got everything
in our pot I just kind of keep.
Blending all this together as best I can so
you don't, you just kind of
try to get it scrambled. Yeah,
get it all scrambled up, don't
scramble it on the yeah, don't worry
about that right will handle that
yeah and just kind of keeps
turning up together soup.
Yeah if you want to do that,
sure but I can either keep tending to
this 'cause you don't want it to stick to
the outside of your pan too much, right?
You want it to be like a one.
One big BLOB of egg cooked egg
would be the perfect solution
that I can send that
you're trying to keep it.
In one yeah, one blonde glamour it.
I don't what I don't like
is like if I ever go to a lunch or
something and you pull the pot here.
It's a big buffet line. You pull the
pot and it's like white and kind of
gooey. Yes, you know what I mean? I don't do
gooey very well with my eggs.
I don't like that so I'll
let you do this one.
Go ahead and just kind of keep.
Yeah, keep blending that together here.
I'm going to take my camping
eggs and just kind of keep
blending that altogether.
When do you add you add cheese to
this or milk or like what do we do?
We just anything or you
just use butter and eggs,
butter and egg. Don't want salt
and pepper in the early stages,
otherwise it it makes it too.
It keeps it liquidy OK and you don't
want it to be liquidy for too long.
So you can kind of see it starting
to as the heat gets coagulate.
I'm getting nervous but I don't want
to break it up and make it gooey eggs
and as soon as it starts to get,
you know, sort of thick,
then we can start adding cheese.
So maybe it's the from the Midwest
and so we do a lot in the old Midwest.
A lot of cheese and everything.
Yeah, that's good.
And so I actually put egg and
cheese in my egg as well.
You should, yeah,
I think that that's perfect.
It's like blended double.
It's like protein
squared. Yeah, there you go.
We got a lot of protein going here.
Eggs are really good source of protein
and it's a good lean protein as well.
So we only have about
2 minutes left here.
Getting a feel. The magic of TV.
What happens next.
So we put the cheese in.
Keep on kind of stirring that up,
breaking vertical
point. That's OK, that's alright.
It's going to start becoming.
You know, it's one.
So this is actually coming
together pretty good.
You can see how creamy this
is going to start testing.
Creamy. How come you didn't make me eggs?
We were camping with the kids.
I don't know. I think we slept in.
You stay up late when you go
camping over various. Yeah, it
was lunchtime by the time we got
up so we're getting there but
these are the two, you know, methods that
I use and they're really really easy.
I I really like to mix my eggs in the
bowl first when I put him in there
like this. I do because I kids hate
scrambled eggs when they're dry like this.
Looks like it's going to be
like a beautiful little fluffy
situation when we're done here.
You gotta love your eggs. By
the way, I will have, you know,
this man went and dug for clams
with his children and then came
back to the campsite and made
clams in wine sauce for us,
yeah? Oh yeah, if that is A truly
northwest thing, get your plumbing license,
get a bucket, get a shovel. Your guide
never been climbing before.
It was phenomenal. So easy,
you guys. And so now that it's
getting a little more solid.
That's when I'll mix in
my salt on both of these,
and you want to use the thick kosher salt?
Is that what you like? I try to blend it
up as much as possible 'cause you want
to. You want the flavor to kind
of be all throughout the egg?
You don't want chunks of salt,
and then as we're starting to see here,
I don't put anything else in my edges, but
you just you don't mix this around.
I just keep stirring like I
have just keep storing it like
just on the edges. Yep, Yep.
If you go just kind of keep turning
itself, you did OK. Here we go.
I see. Look at that.
We were making one flat kid
that were coming together now,
but this is the GUI stage
and let me tell you one thing
that you never ever ever
want to do is burn your egg.
Yeah, the smell of the burn
two is the worst my wife gets
so mad at me when it happens.
She hates that smell. It's over.
We go to pancakes after
we go to pick cake. All right?
Well, we are going to keep cooking this.
You're not going anywhere because
we also were gonna have some
champagne to enjoy with our brunch.
'cause that's how we brunch right?
Welcome back to the show.
So this scrambled eggs or
finished and you kept him warm.
I don't know how you did that.
Let's try him
so you can see how they're
kind of hole right there.
Not just like spread all over the place.
At first I was like Jake.
You're just making scrambled
eggs, but now I get
it. There's an art to it.
There's a nerd. I know it's
real graduations. You get champagne now.
We thank you. Such good scrambled eggs.
It's never wrong. Never a bad
combination. Champagne and eggs,
I mean. And that's how we do
it at new day new. Oh my gosh,
this is really good and you got
the egg chairs to match our eggs
because that's how we roll right now.
Did you plan that I did not?
I? I wish I could take credit,
but I will say this this is great.
Cheers. I'm glad you got
to share these with some
other than my kids.
Thinking of your kids, yeah.
This is our favorite meal, right?
Yeah, well, how are they doing?
My kids are great so they were really
looking forward to getting back to
school like so many kids out there,
just ready to get back on the grind.
This Is Us walking home from school,
which is one of those things
I just missed so much.
He didn't realize how much you missed
it until you're doing it again and
you're seeing your kids with the
backpack and everybody is smiling.
I didn't mean to show just
the backs of my kids heads.
I don't know.
So long, yeah,
it's such an event to pick kids up and
to get home and do the snack thing
and so they're getting in the groove.
And it's an emotional change,
you know to go back into the
general population of society,
but I think they're happy.
I don't know about y'all's kids,
but mine literally coming back from school
like the first few days was emotional,
like they were just spent.
Yeah, they were tired my my teach,
my sons teacher.
God bless you Gretchen.
She was just like oh, it's been a lot.
It's an adjustment for everybody.
But Speaking of other people,
better thing to do.
Yeah, and other things you have
a huge presence on Twitter.
You've always been my inspiration
when it comes to being a good
journalist on social media.
What are people saying?
What if you were saying about right now?
This time things going on.
Yeah, I think there's a lot of concern
about obviously coronavirus this 5th wave.
The hospitalizations just going into
the fall and winter last year we were
seeing a big spike in cases coming.
Some people wondering is
that going to happen again?
Obviously the vaccination.
Rate the mandate is coming up in
Washington state on the 18th.
State workers have to be vaccinated.
Seattle Police has 33% of its
police force that has yet to declare
whether they're vaccinated or not.
They have a few weeks to do,
so it doesn't mean 30% of cops
are not vaccinated.
But that's an awfully high number.
Even since we've seen so many
cops already leave with Seattle,
so that's a big concern.
That is a big concern.
So how many I mean?
What happens on that day?
If if state workers aren't vaccinated,
you're fired, you're done.
You go by done.
You're done, that's part
of the governor's mandate,
and you don't get unemployment either,
because it's part of the mandate,
and so there's obviously a lot
of controversy. Yeah, yeah,
I would imagine mandates you know,
across the country appear to be working.
You're seeing big companies like United
Airlines and Delta they're announcing
like they went from 60 to 92% compliance.
Health care workers are now 95% compliance,
so need to be transparent.
Our company as well.
Yeah, a lot of companies like
Tegna are doing vaccine mandates,
so we'll see if that bumps the
needle enough to get to the point.
We don't have to wear these masks
anymore and I don't see kids being
able to remove the masks in school.
Obviously until there's a vaccine which
could come by Halloween for some kids,
they just five to 11,
which would be really nice if,
which would be massive,
you know, and it's been a minute
since I've been on the health beat.
Have you seen any information
about these kids vaccines?
I mean, are they looking good?
Are there any concerns?
Well, there's a big meeting next
week with the FDA and they will
essentially make a recommendation to
the CDC about whether the vaccine.
For kids 5 to 11 is strong enough and
does not produce as many side effects,
so they can give it to kids.
At this point Pfizer is the lead on that.
They say their vaccine totally
safe for kids ages 5 to 11,
just a little bit less of a dose than
adults are getting, which makes sense.
Copy that. OK, alright?
I'm going to put my eggs down for a second
'cause I asked to move my champagne of,
you know its priorities people.
Yeah, got all serious here because
it is time to lighten things
up with the Lightning round.
That's my life now.
I thought there was gonna be fireworks.
I wish there were. There's not.
There's fireworks, though,
on set right now with us,
so why don't you want you wanna
get started you wanna start?
Yes, I'm really excited
about my questions actually.
OK so I I asked one of the you
ask when we go back and forth
so we can do that.
Yeah I like that. OK alright
nickname, your parents used to call you God.
I am yeah, I'm OK.
I called you a few times last
song you downloaded. Oh
I I don't know something like my kids wanted.
Probably right I know do they dominate?
Like do they really let me do
one more before you do my
'cause I like this one.
Fill in the blank Taylor Swift
is amazing. We love it and you know
my husband hates Taylor so that's
why you asked. Yes OK all right.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Oh my goodness.
Uh, I fell asleep on an airplane
and they had to turn the airplane
around and they couldn't take off.
I just know Oh my God,
that was really scary.
Mine was on TV with you,
but I'll get into that later.
Do you have any weird skills
or talents other than making
the perfect scrambled egg?
I I can beat box pretty good. Could be box.
It's fun, OK? Do you want to go?
Do you want me to go?
One more will do three and three, then
OK? I only did two so standby OK alright,
so have you ever purchased something from
an infomercial or as seen on TV store?
And what was it who I have not?
You've never bought a
study or anything. I bought
a shirt on Instagram a couple weeks ago,
was my first dad shirt.
No, it was a Kingdom shirt.
I did it and honor the Mariners.
Sure, I get that it was.
I thought I considered that you know,
online buying OK if you
could travel back in time.
What period would you go to? Oh,
that's hard for a woman because you know.
I would say I may be the
Victorian error or something,
or maybe like dress victor,
but like a time where I could help make
you know change and you know they'd be
the suffragette era too. I like that.
Yeah you like that OK, alright?
Final question, well,
we have a bit about a minute
left but I'm gonna give you this
because I really want to know
what is your best dad joke.
Oh my goodness, my best dad.
Sure they gotta come naturally like when
your kids say something like oh Dad,
yeah oh, you're putting me on the spot here.
I'm sorry you're putting me on the spot.
Oh my goodness, I should have had
a good one. OK, I'll let you off.
I need to be prepared for that 30 seconds.
What's your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure has to be red wine
red wine. Well next time I know
oops well there we go we saved it.
Thank you Jake.
We love having wine. Yeah, so nice.
You are the wealth of information in
this newsroom with total pleasure.
But I have a lot of fun having
fun with you as well my friend.
Hope you like my eggs.
I'm going out to eat him as
soon as it shows over.
