Time Text
Today, it's me versus my wife Lisa.
Is yawning really contagious?
I got another one.
Face washing.
Should you wash once or twice a day?
We're tackling health questions dividing friends, families, and social media across America.
The debate is on.
And you're a perfectionist.
Well, I try to be.
Martha Stewart on how to be a master.
I'm not unique.
I'm just difficult.
It's Free Class Friday.
Coming up next.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Are you ready to save some lives today?
Thank you.
Are you into this?
i love you We are tackling the greatest health questions dividing friends, families, and social media all across America.
And today, you'll finally get to settle the score and have the glory of saying the three most rewarding words in the English language.
Told you so.
Y'all love that?
I adore it.
Because I am facing off against the one person who seems to say it to me more than anybody else.
My wife.
Come on out, Lisa.
Come on out, Lisa.
She's a worthy opponent.
She's wearing the ring to prove it.
Oh, I'll decide.
Good.
So making sure.
Now, I'm going to show you a picture of the family.
And these kids are so darn competitive.
There they are.
They come after me.
And I think a lot of that competitiveness is from you.
Oh, from me?
Oh, because you're not competitive at all.
Well, here's the thing.
I was told when I was a young father that a really competitive parent never lets their kids win.
But in our family, it's the opposite.
That they won't let me do that.
They get mad if I cheat on their behalf.
They do.
They got that from you.
That's their genes.
We're honest.
Our side of the family is honest, that's all.
Even underhanded compliments.
All right.
Last time Lisa and I faced off on the show, we debated toilet paper coming over here.
And it wasn't just anything about toilet paper, it was how you hang it in your toilets.
Now, you all know you've all been there.
Do you hang the toilet paper rolling over?
Right?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Or are you an underhanded roller where they're going underneath?
So believe it or not, we only do these, I told you so's if there's an answer.
And I won.
I hate to admit it, but this is the correct way.
It's more hygienic.
Lots of reasons.
Yeah.
You won.
What do you want from me?
All right.
So then we had another debate.
This one I thought maybe these had more insights on to.
This is whether or not you take the shoes on or off in the house.
Lisa's shoes are on.
Mine are off.
Audience, what do you think?
How many wear your shoes in the house?
A few honest folks.
Most of you, however, take them off like me, right?
Yeah.
But if you had these cool, sexy, high heels, you'd keep them on.
Yeah, they are cool and sexy, but I even knows I would take off because it is not clean to wear your shoes in the house.
I won that one too, and I told you so.
Yes, yes.
You're just the winner.
What can I say?
So I won those two debates.
We're going to see how I fare today because Lisa's mixed it up a little bit.
The first question has the internet completely, and by the way, beauty magazines up in arms.
Face washing.
Should you wash once or twice a day?
Audience, what do you think?
They're as split as we are.
The debate is on.
Take a look at this video from my partners at Sherka.
They put it all together for us.
Can you hurry up with that?
I need to use the sink to wash my face.
What?
What?
How can I possibly understand what you just said?
Didn't you already do that?
I could swear I saw you wash your face today.
I did, but I always wash it twice a day.
You really only need to wash it once a day.
That's what I do, and I have this outstanding complexion.
Okay, once a day might work for you, but I think we need to ask America on this one.
All right, audience, now you've heard the argument well outlined by us.
How many of you are twice-a-day washers?
Actually, do it.
Come on, back here.
Go ahead and talk to them twice-a day washers.
see why they think it's the right way to go.
Why do they agree with you?
So how many times a day do you wash your face?
Definitely twice.
Twice.
Why?
To get all the oil off in the morning and at night to get all the makeup off and all the impurities and everything off.
Yeah, of course.
Right.
And how would you feel if you couldn't do that?
Gross.
Yeah.
Yeah, greasy.
What's your name?
Jessica.
I'm going to show why Jessica's wrong.
How many one-a-days are there with me?
Oh, we got.
Hi, what's your name?
I'm Abby.
We need the bond, Abby.
I do.
So, Jesse's over there dissing us.
You feel dirty when you haven't washed your face.
Well, I wash my face once a day.
No, you feel fine, right?
Yeah.
All right, so we've got to do a little science experiment.
If you guys are up for it, we can debate this.
Look, families all across America are having these fights right now.
Husbands battling their wives, usually losing, but just in case, we're right, I'm going to do a little science experiment.
So come on over here.
We're going to find out the answer.
Jesse, pay attention to this.
All right.
Shannon and Margaret are fraternal twins.
Praternal twins.
So they should have very similar skin.
They have the same birthday, but very different hygienic habits.
So which of you washes your face twice a day?
I do.
And why do you do that?
Well, I've always had oily skin, and I felt like it was always the best thing to wash my face twice a day.
It made my skin feel more normal.
All right, so Margaret is a twice-a-day person.
And Shannon, you're a once-a-day person like me.
You have beautiful, impeccable skin, I should say.
It's really remarkable.
I think, I think Shannon looks fantastic.
I do.
Margaret, do you give your sister a hard time for not copying everything you do, like washing your face too much?
I do.
You do?
She's gross.
So, sisters are four.
I'm just kidding.
No, but we definitely have different skin.
Because I tend to break out more because if I don't wash my face at night, I definitely will wake up with a pimple in the morning.
And she definitely has different skin.
She's more drier skin, and I feel like she's less breakout.
So more prone to her.
Are you up for the experiment?
Yeah, of course.
Lisa, we're going to take them into a very deep search using a Visna, Visia, rather, skin scanner.
These are really cool scanners, and they're going to tell us everything about your skin.
And then the science will tell us whether twice a day.
Prove that I'm right.
And we'll find out.
Take them over there, honey.
I will interpret the images over here.
So we're going to put Margaret in there first.
Margaret, step on in.
Go on in, Margaret.
All right, so as Margaret looks in there, I'm going to put her image up here.
And just to explain, the little dots you see are bacteria.
Ooh.
Okay, so there's her face.
You can see it all.
The lips down here.
Eyes are not, we didn't actually look there as carefully.
But this brow area has lots of bacteria.
Look at the forehead area, okay?
So this is the twice a day, Margaret's face.
Let's get Shannon's face up there, the ones a day.
Ooh.
What do you guys think?
There is more there, isn't there?
There's more bacteria here.
I can't believe that.
Who would have thought?
I can believe it.
Washing twice a day actually seems to have made this face cleaner.
What a surprise.
Who knew?
So I actually had my med teams do some digging into this.
And the American Dermatology, sorry, the American Academy of Dermatology is a real group.
They represent dermatologists.
They recommend that you limit your face washing to twice a day.
And after you sweat, by the way.
I can't.
This really hurts me.
Go ahead and say it, honey.
Told you so.
Woo!
It cut deep.
It cut deep.
All right, one point for Lisa.
Let's come over here.
I learned some things from my wife about skincare because she takes care of her skin better than I do.
And you say we actually might be washing our face wrong.
So if you're going to wash your face twice a day, how do you do it the right way?
So you don't want to wash with a washcloth.
You want to wash with your fingertips.
So if you want to put some soap just on your fingertips and wash in small circles, or you want to moisten that.
We have a little water for you guys.
Moisten that.
And then you also want to use lukewarm water.
Do not use hot water.
It'll dry out your skin.
And then make sure when you're washing to get the jawline and your hairline and your nose.
A lot of people forget that, so you want to make sure to get those.
So many of us just wash on our cheeks, but make sure you get the whole face to get everything clean.
How long does it take you to wash your face?
A couple seconds.
No, literally, maybe 45 seconds.
I do mine about five seconds.
Maybe I got to change the whole thing up.
You guys have any other debates about face washing while we got Lisa the expert here?
I told you, so expert.
Actually, sometimes I Use makeup wipes, so I was wondering if you think makeup wipes is better maybe than not washing your face at all or a good alternative to washing with soap.
I don't know about compared to nothing because there's probably a benefit there.
But and you know, I never leave your makeup on overnight.
I know folks do it all the time, but I actually think you're better off washing your face than using a makeup wipe.
But you got to use a gentle cleanser.
Yeah.
That's the big mistake I think folks make.
That may be why you had your issues.
Use a harsh cleanser, regular soap on your face that twice a day is going to really knock it down.
God, I'm so mad that you won that.
I have to catch up to you from last time.
I got another one.
The next big I Told You So debate is about yawning.
Listen carefully, guys.
You guys are twins.
You probably have different habits here, too.
Is yawning really contagious?
We've got a social experiment that you can do at home.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
Salami, pepperoni, bologna, packaged deli meat.
They add nitrates, sugar, food starch.
They mash it up.
It looks like that.
All nuance.
Which of these deli meats are best for you?
The healthiest deli meats by brand.
And the best and the worst of the supermarket.
The aisles you're avoiding.
Amazing things in here.
Have some healthy surprises.
I had not had this before.
This is the doctor's.
This is delicious.
That's coming up on Monday.
So I'm telling her, why aren't you doing the Greek yogurt?
I mean, I love Greek yogurt.
It's at probiotics, it's protein-packed.
I'm pro-Greek yogurt.
I even made a shrine to Greek yogurt.
Are you listening?
What?
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
Yogurt.
I am interested.
All right.
So there are so many benefits of Greek yogurt.
You definitely yawned that time.
I'm yawning.
Well, yawning is contagious.
That's just a myth.
That's not what I heard.
Yawning's contagious.
You know what?
Let's ask a miracle.
All right, the next big debate.
Is yawning really contagious?
That's the big health question we've been debating.
Who says yes?
Who says no?
All right, that pretty split again.
So we've done a little social experiment.
We're going to do it all together.
We're doing it in the studio.
We can do it at home.
So I want you all to watch this video and see if it makes you yawn.
Look at this cute little thing.
Isn't she beautiful?
Don't babies have the best, the biggest yawns.
Don't you want to join in?
So here's the deal: during the break, I tested my audience to see if they would yawn.
They didn't know what we were doing yet.
So Lisa and I had clickers and we were tallying up how many people we saw yawning.
How many did you get?
Oh, I got 19.
19.
You were focused over here.
I was.
I was over there.
It's about half the audience.
You guys went nine times.
Oh, right.
That's 28 times.
It's a lot of yawns.
But here's the good part: we caught you guys on camera yawning.
Go ahead and let's play the video, please.
Oh my, oh my, oh my.
Oh my, come back here.
Oh, oh, my.
Okay, shit goes one.
That's one.
Now, go ahead, honey.
Okay, you yawned about nine times.
I couldn't even stop.
I couldn't keep count.
What's your name?
Kyle.
Kyle.
And why were you yawning?
It is very contagious.
You say yawn, and I probably will.
And I don't sleep much.
Do you yawn frequently?
Yes.
And what's the most embarrassing time you've ever been caught yawning?
Business meetings.
Oh, no.
Business meetings.
And did you notice that you had yawned?
Because he was yawning.
It was contagious.
I mean, I couldn't stop.
I was trying to hold it, but he kept yawning.
I kept yawning.
I think we've convinced ourselves, actually, that it is contagious.
And you're all on board, I think, with this.
I witnessed it firsthand today.
We have the numbers to prove it.
So I want you to take a look at why it's contagious.
This is going to change your life.
So I did a little research.
And.
And you were right.
Yawning is contagious.
Yes.
I mean, oh.
Though science hasn't been able to prove exactly why this happens, yawning is contagious.
You yawn and I yawn.
Pretty sure no one yawns at me.
Anyway, it gets more interesting.
Though yawning is contagious, kids don't develop contagious yawning until age four.
So it's a learned behavior?
Science doesn't know.
That's the interesting thing.
Though scientists have done extensive research in the yawning, they haven't even discovered why our bodies yawn.
You wouldn't think yawning would be so interesting, but Liza washes the dishes.
I'll never guess what's on these dishes.
Greek yogurt.
Gosh, this really hurts.
Another point for Lisa.
Go ahead and say it.
Told you so.
Told you so.
You know, I have a question for you, though, because I know we yawn a lot.
How do you stop from yawning?
So they did research on this.
Scientists do tend to research things that are of intrigue.
And it turns out temperature makes a difference.
Have you all noticed that this studio is a little chilly?
It's not an accident.
When I first started my show, it was on a comedian set.
It was actually David Letterman's all set.
And it was so cold I could see my breath.
And I'm a doctor.
We keep the ORs cold so that the patients don't get infections because it exposes the bacteria.
I didn't realize talk shows and comedians, especially when it's really chilly so that no one gets bored and starts to yawn.
So when next time you're in a setting where it's a little bit dicey, you might start to yawn.
I want you to go for something that's cold.
So next time you're at a cocktail party, ask for something cold.
Here, I get a little chilled watermelon for you.
So next time, you're going to get more chill snacks and fruit, prevents a contagious yawn.
Gosh, I hate losing.
It drives me crazy.
Have another watermelon.
Up next, I told you to a debate that always happens in the car.
Are you ready for this one?
Should you always stop and ask for directions when you are lost?
Don't give me an answer yet.
We'll have that when we come back.
All nuise, what happened to Mara Murray?
Last seen on a cold, dark road.
Was she murdered?
Was it suicide?
Or worse?
True Crime Tuesdays and pain-proof your body.
It is free.
Anybody can do it.
No pill solutions that work.
It's a pain-preventing tool that everyone should be using no matter what level of pain you're in.
It has changed my life.
It'll do the same for you.
That's coming up on Tuesday.
Our next big health debate always happens in the car and can often lead to big-time fights.
It's the number one question.
Every woman wonders when you're, well, let's be more specific.
When your husband is lost.
Take a look.
I would have asked for directions.
No way.
I totally knew where we were going.
You drove around in circles for an hour.
It is called the scenic route.
I just don't get why some people don't stop and ask for directions.
As for directions, I prefer to rely on the old Oznagin.
Hey, you remember how I said it's never really worth it to ask for directions?
You mean the conversation we had 10 minutes ago?
Yeah, that's the one.
Well, it turns out there's a perfectly scientific reason why some people, even brilliant geniuses, get lost.
Would one of those brilliant geniuses happen to be in the car right now?
Well, there's a study that found that part of the brain serves as a homing signal, giving you a sense of the direction you're facing and the direction you should go in next to reach your destination.
Our brains come with GPS?
Yep.
It is called the interhornal region.
The strength of the signals in this region of the brain influence the quality of your navigational skills.
Wow.
So you must not have one at all.
Very, very, very funny.
But you're not far off.
According to the study's author, if you take too many turns and seem lost, it may be because your anterhinal region couldn't keep up with all the directional changes and failed to adjust to the right direction.
So if I ever get lost, I can just blame my entorhinal region.
That's my plan.
That's y'all next time on.
Told you so.
So I guess you should always ask for directions when you are lost.
But to double check, I've got husband and wife Jason and Kathy joining us.
Jason is still backing me up.
Kathy 100% agrees with Lisa.
Before we get to this debate, I understand you drive the big city bus, the M72.
It goes right in front of the studio every day.
Yep.
Is that right?
That's your bus.
There it is.
What's that like?
Oh, man, it's challenging, man.
Every day is different, but...
All right, so let's get to the reality of what's going on here.
You back me up.
You think I'm right.
Right.
Lisa?
No, of course you guys never ask for directions.
Why do you think they don't?
What is that about?
I think it has to do with their ego.
Their ego.
Yeah.
Or ego.
Definitely.
Impersonal here.
Definitely.
Why do you think men don't ask for directions, Jason?
A little bit of that.
Yeah, a little bit of a, you know, a man should be in control.
You got to know where you're going.
Don't give it.
Oh, yes, yes.
Don't give it on the ego thing.
It's because we know where we're going.
That's why I think we don't ask for directions.
All right.
So the worst time you guys have ever gotten lost is Pennsylvania.
What happened?
We were visiting a friend of hers in Pennsylvania.
We were on I-78 or something like that right before reaching Jersey.
Like, I kind of knew where I was, but we broke down and then we needed their help to come and get us.
And we couldn't explain where we were.
Like, you're so lost, you can't even get help.
I knew the road I was on, and I think I was going.
I'm sure I was going the right way, but I was explaining to them how to get to us.
And it was like I had to landmark it and any tension in the car at that time.
Oh, my God, through the roof.
Yeah.
It was really hot.
It was terrible.
Kids screaming.
So they actually did studies looking at what is going on in our brains.
And women and men are very different in how we process directions.
Men rely on distance.
We have a good idea of how far we are.
We also sort of have compass.
We can tell north, south, et cetera.
Women, you guys use landmarks.
You also are better at following directions.
When we say take a left, another right and a left, you guys remember that.
We forget that.
So we sort of, is that true?
All right, come on over here.
This is ridiculous.
I've lost another one.
I've never ever gone through this before.
It's three in a row.
It's really, oh.
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
I win.
I win.
Told you so.
Told you so.
All right.
You're three for three.
I am.
Which I'm so upset about.
So I'm going to have to think I can come back and win it next time.
But I have a plan, a diabolic, a clever plan that will win this for me.
I want to thank my partners that share care for all those fantastically fun told you so videos.
You can watch all of them on my app.
Check it out.
We'll be right back.
Coming up, we're kicking off free class day with my friend Martha Stewart.
Find out what her aha moment was in the kitchen.
This is so good.
The last time Martha Stewart was here, she took over my control room.
I mean, like literally took it over.
And today, she's back.
And I hear she's already taking over something backstage.
Martha, Martha, where are you?
I'm back here with your craft services table.
You know, I always peek around looking to see what I could do.
And your craft services table was sort of sad.
I mean, you're Dr. Oz.
You should have everything fantastic on your craft services table, which is really the backstage food table for snacks for the crew.
And it's called craft services.
You know why, Dr. Oz?
Why?
Well, the electricians, the cameramen, the backstage helpers, everybody that works for you back here, they're called crafts.
Everything they do is a craft.
So this is the craft services.
So you've invaded my craft table.
Guess what?
The master perfectionist herself is here for our first ever free class day.
And she's going to show you and the craftspeople a perfect and easy dinner that basically cooks itself.
But first, she and I, we're going head to head in a housing debate.
So Martha, come on on stage.
Guess what I'll give it up here.
You're Nancy!
All right.
There.
Oh, my goodness.
Are we on mark?
Yes, we are on mark.
Very professionally done.
I know how perfect you are.
See, that's the mark.
Okay.
How's that?
You happy?
Perfect.
Before we even get to this.
I love you.
Good to see you.
Before we get to this, this is our first ever free class day, which is a pretty cool event.
It's in session.
I hear you're going to school me in my own backyard.
Now, I love my craft table.
I think it's really healthy.
I think it's sort of cool.
I say yummy.
You say boring.
Yeah, well, you can improve it a little bit.
I think it's always, and you had the same thing every day, I heard.
Yogurt, hard-boiled, store-bought eggs.
Spoiling me.
Carrots and celery.
That's it.
That sounds boring.
But you can add a few things.
Look, I brought you my own farm eggs.
Oh, you're kidding.
My hard-boiled.
Yeah.
They're all different colors.
Yeah.
And then a whole grain bread, because people, you know, some of these guys, they eat a lot and they're hungry.
They've been here.
Is that true?
You guys eat a lot?
They do.
Yeah.
So they like a little bit of whole grain bread and butter and homemade jam.
Well, you don't have to have homemade jam, but it's nice to have homemade jam.
Peanut butter, a good almond butter or a cashew butter.
And then your yogurt, but you had just had yogurt sitting out there.
So it would count.
But I know, but you eat, but they need some more sustenance than you.
You know, you're on TV.
So blueberries, granola, a little bit of honey, that's Greek.
Unflavored yogurt.
See?
I have very pure taste buds.
Now you can't put that spoon back in there.
No.
You want a bite?
No.
Off your spoon?
You don't want to eat off my spoon.
You're a doctor.
Now I can't go back to my crafts folks because they're going to be spoiled with this.
But this is just an idea for everybody.
Snack tables can be really healthy and really good.
Is this beets cookies?
Yeah, those are sliced beets.
Oh, a nice white bean hummus.
And you can have a green goddess, which is buttermilk and a little bit of mayo or sour cream.
Your beans look like pills, but they work much better than pills.
Oh, I love them.
They're so good.
All right, so go over here.
Let me tit for tat here, because it's always he said, she said with you.
I know for a fact, we're both morning people, but you, when you first get up in the morning, is it true you have to pick up your phone before you even get out of bed?
Not my phone, my iPad.
I have a giant iPad.
And the first thing I do is read the headlines.
Because I have to know if disaster has struck.
While you were sleeping.
While I'm sleeping.
I'm not sleeping so well.
But I'd like to read the New York Times.
And I just get my little news feed also.
You know how much that stresses us out?
No, I'm sure it does.
It is not studied.
But then I go to the gym.
I know you think I should go to the gym first, right?
Because then you get the endorphins that blunt the stress of the bad news.
But I am awake at 5 o'clock.
My trainer doesn't come until 6:30.
Oh, your trainer?
You won't come earlier, your trainer?
No, that's early.
Even 6:30 is early.
I mean, she has to drive from her house.
You're probably teaching the trainer by now.
You must torture her like you torture me.
And then we watch the news while we're training.
Then that's probably another bad thing, right?
I have to be informed, like you have to be informed.
How do you get your news?
I need my pureness first thing when I get up.
You do too.
Just try for a little while.
But I don't get it.
Do some stretch, some meditation before you start reading the bad news of the day, which is going to be the different bad news tomorrow.
All right.
Taking the good news, getting the free class day, school me on these slow cookers.
I did not know anything about these until recently.
You have spent a year with your team learning everything about slow cookers.
I have.
And, you know, I got a slow cooker.
It used to be called a crock pot.
Remember the crock pots?
Grandma's crock pot, mom's crock pot.
So I wanted to do a slow cooker book.
And I wanted to, and because I started with no preconceived notions, I didn't use one at home.
That was good because now I've learned that you can bake in them.
You can make desserts in them.
You can make custards in them, creme brulees in them, lasagnas in them, and you can put it all together real fast in the morning, go to work, and when you come home, you can actually feed a good, hearty meal to your family.
You can have two of these, one for sweets and one for savories.
So feed me your aha moments, the little hacks that you have.
I know one of them has to do with the insert, which I don't know.
Yeah.
Now, always get a slow cooker with an insert.
I'm sorry that I don't have a slow cooker yet of my own.
You don't?
Well, that was a stupid thing, and we got mixed up, and the book should have come out with a slow cooker.
That would have been smart.
Oh, you don't, you're not, I got it.
But you own a slow cooker at home.
Yeah, but I didn't make it.
Yes, I get it.
Most of us have to go to the house.
I designed a real pretty one, but it didn't come out yet.
Oh, this is God, does it?
It's a real pretty one.
Yes, so the insert, please get one that's large enough for your family and that has a nice insert.
This is a ceramic insert, which is stovetop also.
You can put it on the stovetop.
So you can do a little browning in there if you want to.
Always preheat your slow cooker before you start to add the ingredients for your recipe.
10, 15, 20 minutes?
About 20 minutes is good.
And what's the oil for?
And the oil, just to make sure that things don't stick and don't stick to the sides, a little bit of vegetable oil, You can just take just a few, like a teaspoon.
See, I could actually do this and help at home.
Yeah.
Because usually I'm worth this at home.
And just rub that in, or a little bit of melted butter is fine.
Will Lisa complain less about me if I do this?
I'm sure she won't.
I'm sure she'll think you're fabulous.
And then you can make anything.
We're going to make later.
You can make your desserts.
Like this is an apple cranberry crisp.
How delicious could you?
You make that in a crock pot.
Yes, and it comes out so well.
And the flavors are all integrated so nicely.
And yet there's still apples and there's still cranberries.
You just dump everything in here to do it or you have to.
Yeah.
Do you have to prep some of it ahead of time?
Well, no, just the dry ingredients I mix together.
Beforehand?
Just in a bowl.
Is this it?
No, that's the final dessert.
Yes, please.
And tell me if that doesn't taste really good.
Thank you.
Oh, it's good, right?
That is Marcus Duergold.
Yeah.
He can do it.
All right, up next.
Martha's going to kick off our free class day, and she's going to teach us her ultimate slow cook recipe.
Stay with us.
Salami, pepperoni, bologna.
Packaged deli meat.
They add nitrates, sugar, food starch.
They mash it up.
It looks like that.
All nuance.
Which of these deli meats are best for you?
The healthiest deli meats by brand.
And the best and the worst of the supermarket.
The aisles you're avoiding.
Amazing things in here.
Have some healthy surprises.
I had not had this before.
This is the diet.
This is delicious.
That's coming up on Monday.
Imagine a world where everyone has access to genius.

Just check Dr.Rog.com for a full free class day calendar.
Plus, we'll give you materials and tools.
Happy learning.
The ultimate teacher and expert of delicious meals, Martha Stewart, is here.
She's kicking it off.
Our very first, the first wine free class day.
And today's going to show you how to master your slow cooker with one of our favorite recipes.
We have a class full of Martha fans, Uber fans.
You want them?
The Russian who stands here holding them back.
And I'm going to cook it with you as well.
So you're going to babysit me through this.
Are you ready?
Guys, you excited with Martha?
Yep.
Okay.
Are you already grating?
All right, what are we making today?
Well, we're going to make...
I brought you an apple teacher.
And put your notes from me to you.
I will cherish this.
Thank you.
Will it help my grade?
Oh, definitely.
Definitely.
All right.
Absolutely not.
So, hi, classmates.
So we're going to make a sausage meat lasagna in the slow cooker.
It's delicious.
And you can make a lasagna nicely in the oven, as you know, but somehow the way this cooks for four hours if you want to do it quickly or eight hours if you want to do it really slowly while you're at work, it just comes out to be just delectable.
So you're grating your cheese, which is essential.
It's a store-bought mozzarella.
Don't buy the fancy buffalo mozzarella.
Don't.
No, because we tried both.
And the buffalo mozzarella doesn't melt as well.
It doesn't get nice and stringy.
It's softer in the middle sometimes.
Yes.
Yeah, so it just didn't work as well as the.
And we use skim milk mozzarella, by the way.
So I hope you like the grater.
Do you like the grater?
So it has a little container underneath.
Oh, that's the wrong side.
See, you're already.
You're not.
That's the fine side.
If you want, you do it on the larger side and put it on right here.
So this little bottom collects all the cheese.
Oh, my goodness.
I never knew that.
So no wonder I don't grate so well.
That's a Martha grater from Mises.
Well, thank you very much.
Yes, and you can have that.
Oh, I guess.
Yes.
Oh, I got a gift, class.
You can all take those home with you.
You all get one?
Yeah.
Are you happy you came to class today?
So you start off.
Now, sometimes, you know, the old method of cooking in the slow cooker was put everything in the pot, turn it on and go to work.
I find that if you make your sauce first on stovetop, it's better.
Because the sauce is just much more delicious.
So saute beef, sausage, which you take out of the casing, some carrots, onion, a little bit of garlic.
Saute that until it looks like this, a little bit brown.
These are all the ingredients that I get arrayed.
Yep, those are all the ingredients.
Onions, salt, pepper.
And then once it's all sautéed, add your tomato paste and your one can, 28-ounce can of really good tomatoes, crushed tomatoes.
That goes all the way.
Again, all store-bought, all that stuff.
Yeah, yeah, this is store.
Although you can make your own.
I've been making so much sauce, Dr. Oz.
I haven't gotten any from you.
Well, I didn't bring it in today, but boy, my freezers are full.
Applesauce, tomato sauce, oven-dried tomatoes, all the things from my garden.
Well, if you'd bring some to me, they wouldn't be full.
Corn.
Corn off the cob, just cooked in a little butter and water.
Oh, that's so good.
It is so good.
So that's your sauce.
So once it's all cooked, you're ready to go.
And so you can start layering.
And this is, I mean, it's the simplest thing in the world.
Just one big scoop of sauce in the bottom.
Then, know your noodles.
Oh, the noodles.
And a little bit more.
Let me just put a little bit more.
Noodles are hard still.
Yeah, they are.
These are, oh, by the way, these are no-boil noodles.
So layer those in in one single layer.
And if you need to fill a space, break a noodle.
I'm a surgeon.
You can cut it, okay.
I'm a surgeon.
Oh, but these are pretty dry, so.
Yeah, it's easier just to do that.
And then some cheese.
How much cheese, by the way?
A lot.
This is three layers, so just put a lot of cheese.
A third of it goes in there.
I like it all over.
Now, don't just get it all over.
A little bit of salt and pepper.
I always add here.
Are you per stickety in the kitchen?
No, not at all.
No.
It's all fun.
Not really.
But I like recipes to churn out well, don't you?
It's really important.
How are you doing there?
And so, lots more.
Three layers total.
Okay, now this is the last layer of the sauce.
How are you guys doing over there?
Any questions from the class?
No.
So.
We have a question from the front row here.
You got here early to class to sit next to you.
Oh, make it away.
My question is: I'm a mom of three, and my life is so hectic.
And every time I seem to use my slow cooker, for some reason, it's always burning.
What am I doing wrong?
Oh, oh, I think you're filling it too full.
You should fill the slow cooker only two-thirds full.
Okay.
So you have how many kids?
Three.
I was trying to make leftovers, have extra for leftovers.
Yeah, so don't, if you stuff your slow cooker, it will burn on the bottom.
Okay.
So just be careful.
Two-thirds full, that's it.
Yep, two-thirds full.
And then, and also do that thing that I showed you, oil very lightly.
Yeah, we need more cheese here.
How do you preheat this?
You just turn the whole machine on?
Yes, just turn it on.
And then, remember, four hours if you want to do it in four hours.
This is the Turkish technique.
Yeah, whatever you want to do.
It's going to melt anyway, right?
Yes, it's going to melt.
Lots.
Use the rest of it up.
I love it.
I love mozzarella cheese.
I love feeding beautiful women.
Oh, good.
What's my grade?
I want a good grade.
Well, we're going to taste it.
I'm going to taste it.
See how I did.
All right.
Two-thirds full so it doesn't burn.
You put this whole thing for three hours?
For four for quick.
Quick.
Four.
And eight for slow.
Four for quick, eight for slow.
Four to eight hours.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, it looks good.
So look.
Look, look, look.
Well, we have one already prepared for you.
We gave you a little bit in front of your yoga cars.
Now, unfortunately, this is so good, I could eat this whole big square.
I mean, it's just really tasty.
And depending on your ingredients, what do you think?
Oh, my burning.
It's good.
Do you guys like it?
All right, good.
We can make it for your families.
Yeah.
All right.
I can eat this whole thing.
For a freakalaste, Martha is going to give us an exclusive recipe online.
Take advantage of all the details she's given us.
And I want you to check out this beautiful new Martha Stewart Slow Cooker book.
Now, get the magazine also for you, but what about the audience?
They've been so attentive.
They've paid a book too.
You're everybody?
You all know Roma's Martha's Dog.
Alone with the Copybook magazine.
We'll be right back.
Study hard.
Coming up, an extraordinary story.
When a dad notices his special needs daughter is having trouble making friends at the pool, he decides to build an entire amusement park for special needs kids.
We have a big surprise for him, so stay with us.
We're back with something to feel good about.
With all the madness in the world, it's good to highlight people making a difference.
And when I heard about this father's call to action to make sure his special needs daughter didn't feel left out, I knew I had to share it.
So take a look.
When Gordon Hartman took his autistic daughter Morgan to a pool 11 years ago, he noticed none of the other children wanted to play with her.
And I thought to myself, oh my God.
She just looked at me like, I don't get it.
She didn't say anything.
Gordon's heart was broken, but not his determination.
He came up with an idea for a theme park for special needs kids.
A place where everyone could play and laugh and scream and feel special.
And I said to myself, let's do one of these in San Antonio.
What is this?
I don't know what I'm going to do.
I'm just going to do it.
Gordon turned an old abandoned quarry into 25 acres of fun-filled splashy water attractions, trade rides, and carousels.
And named it after his daughter.
What's cool about Morgan's Wonderland is that it offers amenities like waterproof wheelchairs powered by compressed air and even special wristbands to track children who might be flight risks.
What I heard more than anything was give us a place that is safe.
You see, if I have a child who's autistic, to go to the park is tough because you never know when that child may take a run.
But perhaps the coolest thing about Morgan's Wonderland is that it's free to anyone with a disability.
We don't look it up in a book and define what special needs is.
If you say you have a special needs when you come to the front, you get in for free.
We figure if you lie about it, you have a special need.
We figure it out.
For now, Morgan's Wonderland is the only fully accessible family fun park.
A shrine of inclusion.
An oasis of friendship.
An unforgettable wonderland born out of a father's love for his daughter.
What a story.
Gordon is standing by live in Morgan's Wonderland in San Antonio, Texas.
We're talking to him in just a minute.
So stay with us.
Thank you.
What happened to Maura Murray?
Last seen on a cold, dark road.
True Crime Tuesdays, all new Oz.
That's coming up on Tuesday.
We'll be right back.
Gordon is joining us live from Morgan's Wonderland in Texas.
He's built an entire amusement park for special needs kids.
And when he saw his own daughter, Morgan, feeling left out at another park, it got him going.
And the whole place is free for special needs kids that come from all over the country.
In fact, all over the world.
Our affiliate reporter, Delane Matthew, is here from Newsforce San Antonio.
Today, I'm jealous of you.
How's the park today?
You shouldn't be jealous of me.
This is a great park.
It is absolutely amazing.
When you walk onto the grounds of this theme park, you're transformed.
Everyone is happy.
It is completely filled with fun things to do, not only for special needs kids and adults, but the entire family.
Tell me about this dream of yours.
It is now reality.
You're on the Dr. Oz Show.
Well, first of all, thank you so much for being having this opportunity because the Dr. Oz show is just a wonderful show.
And it's what we like to do is get as much information as we can out about what we offer here.
Because the more we do that, the more people that have an opportunity to enjoy what is offered here.
And people are coming from all over the world because of Dr. Oz and people like him who are getting out the great things that happen here at Morgan's Inspiration Island and Morgan's Wonderland.
And that's right.
I know a big word for you is inclusive.
You really want to get the word out that everyone is welcome here.
So tell me about the expressions on parents' faces when they walk onto your park.
They must just be so glad their kids are here.
Many of them come and grab you and just tell you their story.
They want to tell you the excitement, and you can see it in their eyes.
And they just feel that this is now an opportunity that never was there before.
That's right.
And it's a great feeling, and it's wonderful to see that so many people have come together to make this happen so that so many millions of people who have special needs and those who don't have special needs can all come together and play.
I know you started this whole program when you saw your daughter Morgan alone in the pool.
So what is your advice to parents out there that have special needs kids?
And sometimes those kids have trouble socializing about socializing?
Yeah.
Special needs kids.
Well, I mean, it's so important because when you have the opportunity, those who have special needs and those who don't play together, everybody wins.
The special needs individual gains incredible self-esteem.
The person who doesn't have special needs recognizes that it's fun and an opportunity that they didn't know they had before.
And the families on both ends have an opportunity to come together.
So it opens up so many positive things, and that's what this park does, and that's what we're all about here at Morgan's Wonderland and Morgan's Inspiration Island.
Well, I know you've made a huge difference for a lot of folks.
And we teamed up with Delaine and thought we'd surprise her a little bit.
We heard you need defibrillators to keep everyone safe at the park.
So my friends over at Cardiac Science Corporation will like to donate brand new Power Heart G5 AEDs to Morgan's Wonderland.
Thank you.
What are they at, Warden?
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
I look forward to seeing you down here, Dr. Oz.
Come and see us.
I'll be here.
God bless both of you.
