Speaker 1: Obviously, this is why YouTube was created.
Speaker 2: Obviously. At Jim Colbert Show on YouTube. Good afternoon, morning, Colbert.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that jellyfish launch this morning was amazing. It
Speaker 3: was up in Canaveral Groves at about 6.30am. and got
Speaker 3: a great view. Jack, I sent over some pictures to
Speaker 3: your email. But also, yeah, I'm not sure about the
Speaker 3: NFL this season. All I know is, last year, Patriots
Speaker 3: beat the Bills in Week 4 and then went on
Speaker 3: a tear. This year, had the same record, did the
Speaker 3: same thing. And, Jack, I'm very sorry what happened to
Speaker 3: your Raiders, but we.
Speaker 2: Back, baby! Big T out.
Speaker 4: Hey, how's it going, Hunter? Is that the indicator of
Speaker 4: being back?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did send some photos to Jack via email
Speaker 5: this morning. One of the most incredible sites and launches
Speaker 5: I've ever witnessed and many others. Yeah, Jack explained he
Speaker 5: hadn't seen it, but I really got to ask why
Speaker 5: a shareholder and board member wouldn't go out and view
Speaker 5: one of the most amazing things his company has to offer.
Speaker 4: Great point. What time was the launch?
Speaker 2: Aloha.
Speaker 1: 6.33 this morning. Yeah, I was sleeping.
Speaker 4: Like a good shareholder? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Counting his money.
Speaker 4: Just like Elon Musk was. Your 4 o'clock keyword is Bills. B-I-L-L-S.
Speaker 4: Slide over to RealRadio.fm and send that away for your
Speaker 4: chance at $ 1, 000. Bills is the word, guys. Go get it.
Speaker 4: And remember, you can enter via the app as well.
Speaker 4: And while you're there, make us your number one preset.
Speaker 4: I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello. Jack is here as well.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: Let's do what you do that's new. What you do
Speaker 4: that's new.
Speaker 5: What you do that's new.
Speaker 2: Hey!
Speaker 6: There's an old and new, something new to do.
Speaker 5: We're relying on you.

Speaker 4: Car crash. Call Klausman. We'll talk to Glenn on Thursday
Speaker 4: for Colbert Court. Until then, we'll continue on with What
Speaker 4: You Do That's New for eight years here on the
Speaker 4: program every Tuesday at 4 o'clock. One of the members
Speaker 4: of the show will choose something for the others to watch, read,
Speaker 4: or listen to. We will do that and then reconvene,
Speaker 4: discuss it, move on to the next member. This is
Speaker 4: my choice today, and then we'll find out what Deb
Speaker 4: has to offer here in a second. You guys know
Speaker 4: how much I love to cook, right?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I love to watch people learn how to cook. I've
Speaker 4: taught my kids how to cook a little bit. It's
Speaker 4: fun to watch them cook. take those skills to make
Speaker 4: sweets or savory dishes and stuff. I actually just sent
Speaker 4: my chili recipe to my mother-in-law so she could enter
Speaker 4: a church contest.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 4: So talking to her about that this morning. So I
Speaker 4: love to cook. It really is one of those things
Speaker 4: that makes me very, very happy.
Speaker 6: What chili recipe did you give her? Because you have
Speaker 6: one that you won, and then you have one where
Speaker 6: you finish in last place. You finished in like sixth
Speaker 6: place in a five-person chili contest.
Speaker 4: That's when I center. No, I center the Torrey's Texas Red,
Speaker 4: the one that we have up on JimColbertLive.com. Okay. So
Speaker 4: I center that. And there is an error in that.
Speaker 4: I read it this morning again. There is an error
Speaker 4: in that recipe. You do not use that much chicken stock.
Speaker 4: It's only like a can of chicken stock. I have
Speaker 4: 32 ounces up there, but you don't put that much
Speaker 4: in there. Oh, my goodness. If you did, you'd have
Speaker 4: to cook it for two hours to get it out
Speaker 4: of there. You are a saboteur. Yeah, yeah, saboteur. So
Speaker 4: I chose a small video. I think it's like 15
Speaker 4: minutes long, something like that.
Speaker 1: 12 minutes and 27 seconds, I think.
Speaker 4: There you go. But it seemed like 15. And it's
Speaker 4: a chef, and he's teaching you how to make the
Speaker 4: mother sauces. And the mother sauces are five sauces that
Speaker 4: almost all other sauces are built on. And I'll give
Speaker 4: you an example. Everybody knows Hollandaise sauce, right? Yeah. Hollandaise
Speaker 4: sauce is basically... It's egg yolks, it's butter, it's lemon,
Speaker 4: a little bit of smoked paprika if you want, salt, pepper.
Speaker 4: You're just getting the emulsion right for that, you know,
Speaker 4: to pour a creamy sauce over your Eggs Benedict. So
Speaker 4: there's only one more ingredient that turns that into another
Speaker 4: sauce altogether. Like when you go to the steakhouse and
Speaker 4: you get Bearnaise sauce for your steak, That has that tarragon.
Speaker 4: It's that yellow sauce with tarragon that's so good with meat.
Speaker 4: That's all that is. That's just hollandaise sauce with tarragon.
Speaker 7: Well, I liked hollandaise sauce until the culinary expert doing
Speaker 7: the video called it hot mayonnaise.
Speaker 4: That's basically what it is, though.
Speaker 1: And as soon as he called it hot mayonnaise, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm out.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 4: It's basically hot mayonnaise. It's the same exact ingredients.
Speaker 7: So what was interesting, too, was to learn the history
Speaker 7: behind the name of bechamel sauce.
Speaker 1: Of it being the– not the chef, but like that, too.
Speaker 1: Louis XIV.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, from like 1603 to 17– and it's interesting because
Speaker 7: now you realize why the royalty and the rich got
Speaker 7: gout so much because all they were eating were these
Speaker 7: rich creams. So you have Béchamel– Veloute.
Speaker 4: Yeah, veloute, which is like it can be a brown
Speaker 4: sauce or a chicken sauce. It's seasoned with vegetables or herbs.
Speaker 1: Tomato.
Speaker 4: Tomato sauce is very easy.
Speaker 1: Espanol. And I'm forgetting the fifth one.
Speaker 4: It is a Hollandaise.
Speaker 1: Oh, hollandaise.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4: And I know how to make these, but I haven't
Speaker 4: made them all in quite a while. My wife hates
Speaker 4: hollandaise sauce, so I never make that. Well, it's hot mayonnaise.
Speaker 4: But I use bechamel quite a bit because bechamel goes in–
Speaker 4: you use that for lasagna. You also take bechamel and
Speaker 4: turn it into– Mac and cheese. Mornay sauce or any
Speaker 4: cheese sauce that you want. You can add anything to it.
Speaker 4: Once you have that base of white sauce– It melts
Speaker 4: cheese like crazy, and you can have whatever you want
Speaker 4: in there, really.
Speaker 7: It was interesting to see. I was surprised at how
Speaker 7: high the heat was.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: As soon as he put that butter in there, all
Speaker 7: I kept thinking was, man, if I tried to make
Speaker 7: this sauce, the first thing I'm going to end up
Speaker 7: doing is burning that butter.
Speaker 4: Well, notice what happens, too. Look what's on the screen
Speaker 4: right now. The guy never, nothing ever sits still. Oh, no.
Speaker 4: When you're cooking on high heat like that, you've got
Speaker 4: to keep it moving.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And sauté means, I think that it translates into quick fry.
Speaker 4: So that's basically what you're doing. You're using a tiny
Speaker 4: bit of oil in your sauté to get the flavors
Speaker 4: out of there. But when you're making sauces like that,
Speaker 4: look how violent that is. But he's moving that around
Speaker 4: to keep it from scorching. He'd mentioned that before.
Speaker 7: The other thing that I learned that I was surprised by...
Speaker 7: was that he said that tomato paste out of a
Speaker 7: tube is the far superior tomato paste, and I was
Speaker 7: shocked by that.
Speaker 4: It is. You know what the funny thing is? I've
Speaker 4: only heard that one other time, and the person I
Speaker 4: heard it from I did not believe. Ha ha ha!
Speaker 4: So hearing it from this guy, Elizabeth, and that's the
Speaker 4: only tomato paste we use. We have it out of
Speaker 4: the tube. I always have, like, a couple tubes at
Speaker 4: the house because it's dirt cheap and it's an absolute lifesaver.
Speaker 4: I think the most important sauce that he makes here
Speaker 4: is the bechamel because anybody can make it. It's one-to-one
Speaker 4: fat to flour. Usually it's butter and flour, but you
Speaker 4: can also do it with vegetable oil if you're making, like,
Speaker 4: a Cajun roux. That's almost always made with oil instead
Speaker 4: of butter. But once you get that sauce made and down,
Speaker 4: you can turn that into anything. Add herbs to that.
Speaker 4: Pour it over chicken. Add cheese to that. put it
Speaker 4: over chicken or pasta, whatever the case may be. Once
Speaker 4: you learn a couple of these, especially the Demi's, the
Speaker 4: Demi's are the greatest. Like you have steak at home
Speaker 4: and you go to a restaurant, you get this really thick,
Speaker 4: super flavorful sauce. And you're like, how do they make that?
Speaker 4: It's just basically beef stock and red wine, With bones
Speaker 4: and vegetables cooked down to a paste almost.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what he was saying, that you don't generally
Speaker 7: see these sauces anymore. And then the last thing I learned,
Speaker 7: I think it was the Espanol. Is that the brown one?
Speaker 4: Yes, I think.
Speaker 7: When he called the Cajun roux, when he called that
Speaker 7: Cajun napalm.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Cajun napalm does not sound tasty.
Speaker 4: Well, so when he incorporates that super brown roux, and
Speaker 4: there are a number of ways to make a roux.
Speaker 4: You can make blonde roux. But when you're making the
Speaker 4: real New Orleans, they like that really super chocolatey brown roux.
Speaker 4: And it takes a long time to get it there
Speaker 4: without burning it. And, buddy, let me tell you, if
Speaker 4: you get a drop on you, it's like getting– have
Speaker 4: you ever melted sugar?
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If you're doing, it's like getting sugar, melted sugar on you.
Speaker 4: It just sticks to you and burns. It's awful. Jack,
Speaker 4: are you going to try to make any of these? Uh, no,
Speaker 4: absolutely not. Did your wife watch it while you watched it?
Speaker 4: She did. And, uh, we both just sat there and watch.
Speaker 6: And I was interested when it talks about the five
Speaker 6: mother sauces, I'm like, Oh, you know, you're learning something
Speaker 6: that kind of affects probably every other meal moving forward or,
Speaker 6: or so many other dishes, uh, Moving forward. And I've
Speaker 6: heard of Bechamel. I've heard of Hollandaise. And outside of that,
Speaker 6: I have no interest in eating anything they're made with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do. You like sausage gravy? Yeah, okay. Bechamel sauce. Okay.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it is. Bechamel sauce with turkey fat
Speaker 4: or with sausage, pork fat instead of butter or oil.
Speaker 4: The one sauce that I had interest in was the
Speaker 4: tomato one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great one to keep on hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: And it actually is, you know, there's so many nanas
Speaker 4: out there that make content. There are multitudes of ways
Speaker 4: to make tomato sauce. That is the professional way to
Speaker 4: make tomato sauce that they turn that tomato sauce into
Speaker 4: other sauces. So that's a base sauce. And that's why
Speaker 4: they showed you how to make it into a spaghetti
Speaker 4: sauce by adding like garlic and oregano and other things
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You can make that, freeze it, and then use that
Speaker 4: as your base. Oh, for a.
Speaker 7: Pizza, for a pasta. And it's fascinating, too. There was
Speaker 7: one of the sauces, I can't remember if it was hollandaise,
Speaker 7: when he added like a spicy pepper sauce.
Speaker 8: And I was like, damn, I would not have expected
Speaker 8: you to add that. The cool thing with the sauce
Speaker 8: is that's the whole idea. Like when you have your
Speaker 8: brown gravy for Thanksgiving dinner, imagine that with reduced red
Speaker 8: wine and a little bit more reduced beef stock. So
Speaker 8: what you're going to have there is a really super
Speaker 8: rich gravy that is made with basically either reduced chicken
Speaker 8: or beef stock. And it's just got that tons of
Speaker 8: flavor and it makes everything taste better.
Speaker 4: Here's the deal, though.
Speaker 6: Uh speaking of your thanksgiving meal uh they have gravy
Speaker 6: and it comes in an envelope and it comes and
Speaker 6: that's a step up because i used to say it
Speaker 6: comes in.
Speaker 4: A jar they also it's so terrible so that's one
Speaker 4: more step closer to actually cooking You're the same guy
Speaker 4: who eats canned cranberry sauce when you can make cranberry compote.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to even do that.
Speaker 4: Either way, I don't care. As long as I have
Speaker 4: one of them, I'm fine. Especially leftovers. I don't care.
Speaker 4: You get the can to make sure you don't run out.
Speaker 1: Don't make it you guys here.
Speaker 4: You guys are so frustrating.
Speaker 1: Don't make it you guys.
Speaker 4: Your lives and food could be so much better with
Speaker 4: just a tiny bit of effort. A tiny bit? That's
Speaker 4: better according to whom, you?
Speaker 5: Yes, me.
Speaker 4: I'm the guy who turned you on to salt. I
Speaker 4: didn't learn about salt from you. You didn't put salt
Speaker 4: on your food for years. You literally had an epiphany
Speaker 4: over salt. Because there's salt in everything. We have too
Speaker 4: much salt in our diet. That is how juvenile your
Speaker 4: palate is. You literally marveled at salt. You looked at
Speaker 4: me one day and said, you know what? This really
Speaker 4: makes a difference.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, dude. I'm just more health conscious. Is that
Speaker 4: what it is, Jen? Yes, it is.
Speaker 2: Very good.
Speaker 4: All this rich eating and all this salt. If all
Speaker 4: your food is inedible, I can see where it would
Speaker 4: have great health benefits. I like food. I eat what
Speaker 4: I eat.
Speaker 1: You eat what someone else cooks for you.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 4: I had to prepare my own lunch today and I
Speaker 4: was none too pleased. I cannot believe that your wife
Speaker 4: didn't find anything redeeming about this video. She was sleeping
Speaker 4: by the end of it. Oh, my God almighty.
Speaker 6: It was over 12 minutes. I told you it seemed
Speaker 6: like 15. All right, Deb, what do you have for us?
Speaker 4: By the way, if you're checking out jimcobertlive.com, the What'd
Speaker 4: You Do That's New master list is right there if
Speaker 4: you're not a blunt object and you'd like to learn
Speaker 4: something new.

Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
Speaker 7: Oh, and all this, like seeing interviews now with Puff,
Speaker 7: with a young Justin Bieber.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, dude. They were playing that during all that stuff.
Speaker 4: I'm like, this guy has been. So creepy.
Speaker 7: He actually, in one of the interviews, he predicts what's
Speaker 7: going to end up happening to him and why.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 7: The 19 minutes will fly by because you're just. It's
Speaker 7: one mouth drop after the other because it's like how
Speaker 7: can you years later go back and say.
Speaker 4: I never did any of this. It's funny. I haven't
Speaker 4: seen any of this modern because the ones that always
Speaker 4: used to hold that moniker were those old Sean Connery
Speaker 4: interviews where he's talking about smacking his woman to keep
Speaker 4: her in line.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 4: Like during a– 60 minutes interview dude like i think
Speaker 4: he said that like walters but i mean i mean
