Dr. Phil
Let's do it. Hey, this is Dr. Phil with my new radio show. But enough about you, okay? You've probably written a letter to my next guest at one time in your life and most likely even sat on his lap, too. And no, I'm talking about Cowboys coach Bill Parcells. I can only mean the one and only Saint Nick, Santa Claus. Okay, Now, Santa, what exactly are you trying to hide from me today? I'm afraid I don't understand. I'm not hiding anything.
Santa Claus
Ho, ho, ho.
Dr. Phil
Hey, don't make me put you on a polygraph, fat man, because I will, okay? I mean, obviously you're suffering from a crippling guilt complex, and Oprah's the same way. I mean, if you've seen her show and read her books and seen her tapes. One day she's shooting hobos near the underp, the next day she's giving everybody in her audience a new car, okay? I mean, hey, you don't have to walk in on your grandparents having sex to figure out why the smell of Ben Gay makes you queasy. What are you compensating for? Look me in the face. Is it the fact maybe you like to beat elves with a sock full of peanut Brittle? I don't know what you're talking about. Hey, promise me this. If I get your help, if I send a team full of experts with the corpse stiff dog to the North Pole, will you come clean? I mean, how many little elf skeletons would they find on the tundra? Okay. Oh, I pass out toys because it makes children happy.
Commercial Announcer
Ho, ho, ho.
Dr. Phil
Okay, St. Nick, let's back up. Do your reindeer have the trots? You're not thinking straight. I mean, don't you know you can buy affection? That's why I never try to kiss the hooker on the mouth until after she's been paid. Okay? Then I know she's puckering up because she truly wants me. I mean, money's not an issue at that point because there's already two twenties on the dresser under the good book, okay? Oh, Phillip, where does all this jealousy come from? Okay, and now you're bringing a cat to a dog fight. I mean, first of all, I'm a Texas cowboy who's pretty big stuff with more books and tapes than you can fit in your sleigh. I'm not jealous. I mean, hey, I could have people singing songs about me and sitting on my lap too, if all I wanted was to draw attention to myself. But Dr. Phil doesn't roll that way. I try to help people without making a big fuss. I mean, you can read about that in my latest book. It's called make checks payable to Dr. Phil.
Greg Warren
Okay?
Dr. Phil
That's all the time we have today. I'm Dr. Phil. Hey, remember, it ain't about you and take on today. Oh, by the way, St. Nick, I've got stacks of books. What about you? You have any books? You ever hear of a little book called the Night Before Christmas?
Greg Warren
Ho, ho, ho.
Dr. Phil
Hi. Shut your candy cane.
Christopher
Ho.
Dr. Phil
Okay.
Christopher
All right.
Dr. Phil
It's go time. Get ready for a sleigh ride to your face.
Christopher
If you missed something yester, maybe you'll hear it now.
Greg Warren
This is Bob and Tom. Extra.
Christopher
Got a couple guests here. This is very exciting. We're hanging out with Drew Storn, former major league baseball pitcher. And once again, Josh is a denier.
Santa Claus
Well, I just haven't seen any.
Christopher
Any proof, any compelling evidence. Oh, really?
Drew Storen
That photoshopped baseball card that was put up earlier didn't do anything.
Santa Claus
Oh, it's the world of AI.
Christopher
You could. You could fake anything. And I believe we're going to be joined by one of my favorite comedians. There he is. Look at that handsome guy. That's. That's Greg Warren. And huge baseball fan.
Santa Claus
Greg Warren. Is.
Christopher
And Greg, we got a professional baseball pitcher formerly from the major leagues. It's true. Soren.
Greg Warren
I remember that guy.
Christopher
Yeah.
Josh
I think what Tom meant to say was formerly of the major leagues, but.
Christopher
He stumbled on the most.
Greg Warren
Yeah, he played for the Nationals. We faced him, I think 2012 or 13 in a NLDS, and he pitched against us a lot.
Drew Storen
Cardinals fan.
Christopher
Yeah.
Drew Storen
Yeah, you're welcome for that.
Greg Warren
So I.
Josh
Really.
Christopher
Not your best game.
Greg Warren
I still can't believe that game because. Yeah, but. But yeah, I remember you well, He's a. He was. He was a really good pitcher. Josh, you need to shut your mouth.
Santa Claus
Well, you know, I'll. I'll have to see some footage at some point.
Greg Warren
Mostly out of the bullpen. Right, Drew?
Drew Storen
Oh, that's all I was.
Greg Warren
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a real good pitcher, man. Thanks.
Christopher
Well, Josh is denying it much the way he denies vaccines. It's just one of those things. He's a conspiracy theorist. Greg, I saw your show just a month or so ago. It was wonderful. And I understand you did a special taping last week, and I heard it went great.
Greg Warren
It went pretty well. Yeah. Josh and Christy and Oskay were there. It was a lot of fun.
Christopher
What's going to happen to that thing?
Greg Warren
They decided to toss it.
Josh
All right, well, these are when the hard choices. Sometimes notes turn into just Chuck. The whole thing. Yeah.
Greg Warren
Yeah. The chick show business is not easy.
Josh
No, it's not.
Greg Warren
No. I think the. The last one wound up on Nate's. Nate Bargetzi's YouTube channel, and. And then it went to Hulu. So I think that's the plan for these.
Christopher
Is there a title?
Greg Warren
No, I. I haven't. I. I haven't come up with one. And I've heard a lot of suggestions, and most of them are terrible.
Josh
I got it. I got it right here.
Greg Warren
Where do you got.
Josh
Where the Field Corn Grows, Part two.
Greg Warren
Yes, I like that.
Christopher
I was thinking, is there a wrestling term you could use?
Greg Warren
Somebody. You know, the only one I heard that I kind of. Somebody threw around the champ, which I kind of like. I was thinking something technical, sort of. It's facetious because it's. You know, I talk about losing a lot.
Christopher
Like the Full Nelson. Is that what you're going for? Something like that, yeah.
Greg Warren
Full Nelson's illegal in college wrestling, Chris.
Christopher
Well, there you go.
Santa Claus
I think that should be the name of your. The Full Nelson is illegal in college wrestling, Christie.
Greg Warren
Yeah, I like it. That's still shorter than that. The Coward. Robert Ford. Whatever.
Santa Claus
How about this is from the Act. And it is wrestling related. Show it again. Greg Warren. Show it again.
Greg Warren
I kind of like that.
Christopher
That sounds like something a flasher would do. Well, maybe you get a flash.
Josh
I got it. I got it. And when you use this, I need to be thanked in the liner notes.
Greg Warren
You bet.
Josh
Two time state champion, Greg Warren.
Christopher
Oh.
Josh
Yep. Two timer.
Christopher
Greg, was there a particular wrestling move that you were. That was your best move?
Greg Warren
It was laying down. Named after a guy named Tim Suzeski.
Josh
Oh, you're going to be serious about this.
Greg Warren
All right. It was called the Suzeski. Yeah, I don't know.
Christopher
That'd be a really bad title for a record.
Greg Warren
Yeah, it would be. Call it the Takedown.
Christopher
That's not bad.
Santa Claus
This is a little bit of an inside joke, Greg. But how about Greg Warren? I liked the salesman better.
Christopher
I don't get it.
Santa Claus
Well, like I said, it's a bit of an inside joke.
Christopher
Greatest bit.
Greg Warren
Well, now I got to tell it, Josh. After the taping. Directly after the taping. And I'm telling you guys. Well, Tom saw the show. This is a good hour, Greg.
Christopher
I raved about it. It was wonderful.
Santa Claus
Laughed the whole time.
Greg Warren
Yes, I thought, I thought it was really good. And I passed. My dad was there and he was talking to one of my friends, Matt Holland. And I'm pretty sure I overheard him say, this is fine, but I preferred this salesman.
Christopher
Which was your previous show, right?
Greg Warren
Yeah.
Christopher
That's classic hilarious.
Greg Warren
That is.
Christopher
That is the only dad's could do.
Santa Claus
And that's exactly what gre. I said, oh, that's a, that's a classic dad thing.
Greg Warren
Oh my. Almost got me, though. Like, I literally almost stopped and told and, and, and lost my mind. I would have lost my mind. I was a little shaken up and a little bit, you know, I was a little bit like vulnerable at that point. I was like. And then I stopped and I was like, it's just dad. He doesn't, he didn't mean. And he wasn't saying it to me.
Santa Claus
Right.
Greg Warren
I just overheard him say it to my friend Howie. And I, and I, I went over to Howie a little bit later. I go, did he just. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, he did.
Christopher
Yeah. That's damning with faint praise. But I'll tell you what was great about this new show that doesn't have a name yet. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. And it's not just a bunch of random jokes. It's really funny. In fact, I actually plugged it. We were interviewing Neil Degrasse Tyson yesterday And I was doing some research on him, and he was a really good wrestler in high school.
Greg Warren
Yeah, he wrestled at Harvard, I think.
Christopher
Yeah, that's right after that. And then. But so I. I mentioned your special coming up, so.
Greg Warren
Oh, thanks. I got his. I got one of his books. Man, he's awesome.
Christopher
Yeah, we'll have to. We'll have to. You guys can compare wrestling notes, but.
Greg Warren
That would be amazing.
Christopher
But there has to be something, because there is. Even if you know nothing about wrestling, there's a great wrestling theme in your. In your show that's really, really, really cool.
Greg Warren
You don't have to know anything about wrestling.
Christopher
It applies. It applies to everyone's aspect of. In their. Of everybody's life. It's really. Have you prepared anything for today's show? Are we just going to talk about how great you are?
Greg Warren
No, I. I did. Did some preparation. I want to talk about the history of the sports beverage Gatorade.
Christopher
Oh, okay.
Santa Claus
Okay.
Greg Warren
And now, you know, we've got a professional athlete here that can weigh in on it, so feel free.
Christopher
Did they have that in the bullpen?
Drew Storen
Not Gatorade, if you wanted to go. They had the. The nice cooler. Gatorade was in the dugout and the bullpen. It was just water. They really. Yeah, you know, if we requested it, maybe, but we would always just bring the bottles.
Christopher
You think that the Gatorade people would want sitting right next to you guys when they, when they took a shot of the bullpen?
Drew Storen
Well, they had the Gatorade cooler, but it was just water, so.
Santa Claus
Oh, yeah, that's even worse.
Greg Warren
Yeah. Every. Every of the main sports, mlb, NHL, NBA, and NFL, they're all tied into Gatorade. Yeah. They sponsor. And. And they are the official sponsor of every. Every NFL team.
Christopher
Wow, man.
Greg Warren
Individually. Wouldn't that be great if they. If they were like, we're going to do it again this year. Except for the Cowboys. They're just not good.
Josh
Cowboys, Jets, Giants, they're out.
Greg Warren
Yeah. These guys are out.
Josh
Yeah.
Greg Warren
Yeah.
Christopher
What was the story? Was it developed for some college? Right.
Josh
Florida.
Greg Warren
Yeah. 1965. Robert K. Dana Shires. They were scientists at Florida College of Medicine. The coach of the Florida Gators, Ray Graves, asked for it. Basically, they were having a lot of players down there in Florida sort of pass out from dehydration. So the heat.
Josh
My God, the heat.
Greg Warren
Yeah, it's hot down there. Yeah, down there. And so they made up this batch. The first batch cost, like. Cost them like 50 bucks to make, like the equivalent of 325 bucks. Today. And they. They used it in the 1967 Orange Bowl. That's, of course, when they beat Georgia Tech. Florida beat Georgia Tech. And the coach of Georgia Tech said the reason they lost is because they didn't have Gatorade.
Santa Claus
Wow. That's as great an endorsement as you can get.
Greg Warren
Yeah, exactly. And. And you know who the coach the quarterback for Florida was? Chick, during that game was A. Spurrier. It was Steve Spurrier. Yeah.
Christopher
Good job.
Greg Warren
Yes. Furrier said he. He was indifferent. He said he wasn't sure whether it helped or not.
Josh
But. But think about who the guy who came up with. You know, there's something we can do that's better than water, right?
Christopher
Yes. Electrolytes, sir.
Josh
Yeah, that's an amazing leap. Right?
Greg Warren
Yeah. Robert. Robert Cade and Dana Shires and some other scientists still make money.
Josh
Oh, they're making money.
Greg Warren
University of Florida has made $150 million from its share of Gatorade. 12 million bucks a year. Yeah, well, thankfully, though, never lose a football game.
Josh
Still, they can't pay. Pay players in. In college football, though, so. Yeah, that money goes for books and teachers.
Greg Warren
All right.
Dr. Phil
Didn't.
Greg Warren
Our friend. Our old friend Tim Wilson had some material about Steve Spurrier?
Josh
Steve won the Heisman Trophy when all the good black guys were in Vietnam.
Christopher
Yeah, that was.
Greg Warren
He just stands around in that lesbian golf hat, stupid look on his face. I hate Steve Spurrier.
Christopher
That's it.
Greg Warren
Won the Hazman Trophy. Yeah, when all the black guys were in Vietnam.
Josh
True enough.
Greg Warren
Yeah. The first flavors were. Josh, what were they?
Santa Claus
I'm going to say orange and lime.
Christopher
Wasn't the green one the first?
Greg Warren
Yes, lemon. Lime is the green one. And orange were the first. And I got to tell you, orange is still the only good Gatorade flavor.
Josh
Wasn't there a clear that tasted like asbestos? No, I don't.
Greg Warren
Oh, Chick. It's interesting. The first batch apparently tasted terrible. Yeah. And Coach Graves. Yeah. His wife said, why don't you put some lemon juice in there? And that's why it got that lemon lime flavor. And that's why it started to taste better.
Josh
What do you think, Josh? Do you think. Do you think she ever let him forget that?
Santa Claus
Oh, boy.
Christopher
$12 million a year. Maybe I could get a new car.
Greg Warren
I saved Gatorade for your stupid ass, you know? Did you know it tasted horrible until.
Santa Claus
I got terrible until I walked in.
Greg Warren
Speaking of lemon, have you ever been to lunch with Josh and when he gets a water with 17 lemons, now.
Josh
He likes his lemon.
Santa Claus
Yeah, I do.
Greg Warren
It's like it's like he has a lemonade stand.
Josh
You can order a lemonade. It's okay.
Santa Claus
Sometimes they bring me an extra bowl of lemon.
Dr. Phil
That seems so cute.
Greg Warren
Tom.
Christopher
Yes.
Greg Warren
Gatorade was first called Gator hyphen Aid. Not Ade.
Christopher
Huh.
Greg Warren
Do you know why they changed it?
Christopher
Because of lemonade?
Greg Warren
No, it was not because of AIDS.
Christopher
Autoimmune deficiencies that didn't come around till the late 70s.
Greg Warren
Yeah, that was. That was around a little later. It was because if you call something aid, you're gonna have to prove. You have to. You're gonna have to clear some medical hurdles. Like, you're gonna have to prove that it works.
Christopher
Ah.
Greg Warren
Yeah. So they. They went to Ade.
Christopher
It wasn't a lemonade Ade.
Santa Claus
Yeah.
Christopher
That makes more sense. Anyway. Yeah. What kind of would do dash. AI boy.
Santa Claus
For some reason, he looked so angry.
Josh
You know, this happens far too often. He gets mad at odd.
Greg Warren
No reason. And history. Yeah. You can't change it.
Christopher
Just wait until he titles this album something stupid. Oh, boy.
Santa Claus
Oh, that's not bad. Greg learned something stupid.
Greg Warren
I like that first.
Christopher
Maybe my dad liked the other one better.
Greg Warren
Yeah, they stole. They stole Michael Jordan from Coca Cola. And he was their only guy, and they paid him a boatload of money. Their first female athlete was Mia Ham. Do you guys remember the Be Like Mike commercials?
Santa Claus
Absolutely.
Josh
Be Like Mike.
Christopher
Sure. Yeah.
Josh
That was a good song.
Greg Warren
Time's a dream. Yeah.
Josh
Oh, he is I. Is I as he know. What was it, Tom?
Santa Claus
I forget.
Greg Warren
Who knows the first Gatorade shower?
Santa Claus
Oh.
Josh
This is a trick question because everybody's gonna say it's Bill Parcells and the Giants, but I don't think that's right.
Santa Claus
So it was not.
Greg Warren
You are right. You. Oh.
Santa Claus
Nicely done.
Greg Warren
Who got him? Chick, Jim Burt, Jim Bird, and Harry Carson. Outstanding for the win. Yeah.
Josh
I've been alive. I've been alive a long time.
Greg Warren
It's Stokely Van Camp bought Gatorade.
Josh
Well. And for one brief, magical summer, it was Succotash Gatorade. With Stokely Van Camp on board.
Greg Warren
Yes.
Josh
It was really.
Greg Warren
Are you really?
Josh
Delicious.
Greg Warren
You know, and the problem with succotash chick is that PETA got involved because apparently in the preparation of succotash, there is some.
Santa Claus
Let him finish this. If you don't know where he's going, it's great.
Greg Warren
I was hoping you'd finish it for me.
Santa Claus
Apparently, yes. In the preparation, PETA would get involved because there is some. When it comes to succotash, there is a fair amount of Suffering that.
Greg Warren
Right, Right. Yeah.
Christopher
Worth the wait, certainly. Because everybody hated lima beans. I don't know. Okay, we're gonna have to close this up. Give us the. The final conclusion. Greg Warren.
Greg Warren
Oh, boy. There's so much here, man. I.
Christopher
We can do part two next week.
Greg Warren
Wait, no, no.
Dr. Phil
When.
Greg Warren
When. When Pepsi bought Gatorade, they had to get rid of their sports beverage because it was in a conflict. Do you know what? That was All Sport Powerade.
Santa Claus
Drew Storm said all sport.
Greg Warren
Yes. Drew Store and win. Way to go. Nice job.
Drew Storen
Which was great, by the way. Oh, I loved all sport that like little carbonation to it, I believe.
Josh
Yeah. You know what's good?
Greg Warren
Have a little carbonation. I think. Wasn't Shaq an all sport guy?
Drew Storen
I mean, checks and everything guy, but yeah, I think.
Greg Warren
I think he was there guy.
Drew Storen
I think he was the guy that. That.
Greg Warren
Yeah.
Drew Storen
I actually looked to see if they still sold all sport the other day. And they do sell it in powder.
Greg Warren
Oh.
Drew Storen
Which is. Defeats the purpose. You can't carbonate that. So.
Christopher
Huh.
Josh
You can just put it in a bottle of vodka, though, and shake it up. You've got an afternoon.
