Yeah, one of our favorite people, Tom. Oh, there he is. The handsome factor is way up. It's comedian Greg Warren, the man behind the current special on Nateland Television. It is called the Champ and he is right there. Let's see him on the big screen. Hello, sir. How are you today? Hey, Tom. Hey, guys. How's it going? You're our champ. Greg, so good to see you. What did you. Sorry, what'd you say, Christy? I said you're our champ. Oh, thanks, Christy. Congratulations on the special on the New York Times article. Yeah, tell me about the New York Times article. Josh, Greg has a New York Times article. I saw it sitting in Grandma's place. It was spread out. It said sitting. Six specials worth watching over. Memorial Day, him bia. It's awesome. Greg Warren, the Champ. That's great. Thank you. That's great. Thank you. Willie. Are they aware. Are they aware of how you and I often object to the crossword puzzle answers in the New York Times? Now that. Now that you've been written up in there, should we. No, I. In fact, I might. I might need to quell some of that talk for a while. Don't burn this bridge because you're mad at Will Short. Everything's going. Oh, there was a connections thing last week. Wrong. False fake. Sorry. Are you doing connections or just wordle? Well, I do the crossword puzzle. I'm a traditionalist. Yeah. I have dabbled in some of these hobby type stuff that you do. Lesser. Lesser is the word you're looking for. Toilet games. Really? Yeah, they are. Yeah. Yeah, it's. You know, Tom, why don't you just pick up a Highlights magazine? Oh, yeah. Oh, well, no, Greg Warren's special. That is really nice that the New York Times said one of the great things to watch this summer. That's really cool. Congratulations. Yeah, it's apparent to me Josh didn't Read it. But that's cool. No, no. I just saw your email and then quickly unsubscribe. But no, I read it. It said very nice things. Like what? It said that it starts off with his name. Hey, fishing. Fishing cheerleaders. Now, that's a strong premise. And then it goes on from there. It says that Greg likes to exaggerate and play dumb, but he's really quite funny and smart. I read the whole thing. He did read. He did read it. Yeah. Yeah, he did read it. Yeah. Thanks, Josh. You're welcome, man. It was a good article. Now your family members get a look. See at that thing, Greg. Yeah, yeah, they. They did, I think. Yeah, my dad did. He was impressed by it, my dad. It's. It's hard with. With this special because you, you know, we put it on Nate's YouTube channel, and you're somewhat nervous that first couple days when it comes out. You know, make sure everything's right up there and all that. And I'd gotten a few comments, and people told me it was good and all the thing. And my dad called me, goes, well, it's not on YouTube. I'm pretty sure it is, dad. He goes, no, no, it's not. It's not up there. The trailer's there. That's probably what you're thinking about. It's. The trailer's there, but it's not on YouTube. I go. He goes. His wife. He goes, jill. Jill tried to find it, too. She can't find it. There's just that 1% of me that's like, oh, my God, something's messed up here. And then I'm like, no, he just. I don't know what he's doing, but it's got to be proud. That's pretty cool. Yeah, no, he's. He's very supportive. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he. Did you guys get to see him at the taping? Yes. Yeah. Always a pleasure. And I. I know he said something hilarious after the taping that evening that you and I discussed. I overheard him saying it to my friend Howie, and I. I didn't. What. It was right after, you know, sort of a vulnerable moment after you tape your special. And I. I overheard him saying something. He's a coach, so he has to compare everything. And I think he's like, it was good. It was good. I mean, I think the peanut butter thing was better. But he may have been talking about the peanut butter thing relative to where the field corn grows, because he. He. He never really liked that special. He's. He's Let me know it's fine. But it's not. Yeah, yeah, I always like that one. But, you know, my dad was the same way always. Hey, yeah, nice job. But you know, you flubbed that one. The first can't help themselves. It's that passive aggressive love. Well, that's not very passive aggressive. The first time my dad ever saw me do stand up, he was like, yeah, good stuff. And I was like, yeah. There was kind of that heckler moment. I didn't know what to do. And he goes, yeah, you're in the headlights up there. I was like, come on, man, I've been doing this a year. That's what dads are for. Keep you humble. Greg, one of my neighbors saw you live and then has watched the special, and I cannot get him to walk by my house without looking at me and going, boy, that Greg Warny, he's right about cvs. He really latched on to one of your bits. He thought you really nailed it. Hey, Josh, you know when I'm right, I'm right. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. So make sure you watch the special to find out exactly what Greg has to say about. Very correct. Okay. I know. If you delved into a topic for us today, Greg. Yeah, yeah. I, I thought it'd be a good time for us to all learn about boomerangs. Excellent. Nice. Yeah. Boomerangs originated in, I'm going to say Australia. Yeah, it's, it's, it's unclear. Australia. Ancient Europe and North America and Asia all had them. Oh, okay. There's where Poland is now. There's. They found one that was dated back like 23,000 years ago. It took a while to find it because it never came back. Yeah, the Polish boomerang had wheels. The. I didn't think of that, buddy. 40 bucks and it's yours. Yeah, it's outstanding. The one thing I need to make clear, guys, and I learned several things here, is there are returning and non returning boomerangs. They don't all come back. Who knew? I thought by definition a boomerang had to come back. Yeah, they took some liberties with that phrase. Most of the original boomerangs were non returning. They were. They're like, you know when your girlfriend says she's going to the convenience store to buy some lotto tickets? She ain't coming back. No, no, it's. Yeah, they were, they were called throwing sticks. Or in Australia, Kylie's is what they were hunting. Sticks a little heavier. They use them to hunt emus and kangaroos. And it says here parrots too, which I know, man, be good. You got to be good. And why you kill. I guess some of those parrots got a kind of a smart mouth, right? Yeah. I don't even know if they ate the parrots there. Would you just. You need to shut up about that, Steve. And this is. I don't. I'm not good with physics or anything physics related, and I don't understand science that well. So I really was trying to delve into, like, how they work. And on these reports, when I can't figure it out, there's a site that's like, kids encyclopedia facts. I went there and I still didn't get it, like. But I did find this one thing that sort of explained it, why the boomerangs that do come back. Come back. You know when you're canoeing with somebody and one person is canoeing stronger than the other person or harder than the other person, and that's when you turn. It's like that one of the arms is going slower than the other arm. So that's why it sort of comes back in an elliptical shape. Wow. Does that make sense? Yeah, that made a lot of sense. Okay. Yeah, that's the best I could find. They are the ones that come back, the returning boomerangs. They are convex on top and flat on the bottom. They are a large surface area in relation to weight. Elliptical flight path spins 8 to 11 times a second. Whoa. Whoa. Yeah, that's pretty, pretty quick, right? Were they ever used as weapons in war? Yes. Yeah, they used them in hand to hand combat. So, like, I would just hit you. They have a lot of uses. They. They would use them as percussion instruments. Like what? Kind of like clap sticks? All right. Yeah. And also to bludgeon fish close to the surface. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. So. And they would use them to dig and. And they were used as a fire starters. Wow. It's like a Swiss army knife. Yeah, yeah, very much something. One article said that. Jess. One article said they were like the Swiss army knife, so. So if you start a fire with it, then you don't have a boom, A boomerang? No, no, no, no. Like, more of that. Like flint. Like you. I thought you burned it. Yeah, well, yeah, Anything. Wooden tom is technically a fire starter, but if it's a weapon, you throw it at the guy, he ducks, and it comes right back and kills you. Yeah, that'd be bad. Well, he does. Well, no, immediately he ducks and then stands back up and says, you missed me. Then it hits him in the back o. Yeah, that's yeah, that's a good day. That's a good one. Yeah, we used to make them. We used to make them at my camp. What? Oh, that's fun. Really? Yeah. But there's a different kind of boomerang. Instead of being the one bent thing it's you make. It's like a cross. Yeah, yeah. There's a. There's a four prong boomerang. Yeah. Yeah. And then you would shave the ones it was. They were so cool and they really worked okay. They'd come right when Tom says he used to make them at camp. They. They. They had the immigrant children. They were paid minimum wage to make boomerangs for in presented. I traded a lanyard to little Haboo. I wish he didn't name him a gym. Yeah, they were. They were reference for you guys. I missed it, man. I missed it. Never mind. I. I've written a couple. I've read a few Hemingway books. Read in our time and get back to. It's the best one. Okay. It's the best one. Yeah, I missed that one, Professor. Farewell to Arms is the ones I like. Josh is just never read it. I read books. The bull. The bull fighting one was okay. Also Rises. It's not overrated. It's one I like. I like Old man in the Sea. Terrible. No, no. A wonderful story of man versus nature. Boring. You don't love the old man in the sea, given the whole old man thing. And you love the sea, you sail, remember? I mean, I'll reread it. Yeah. It was the sea he had a problem with. Yeah. If it was the Old man in Lake Michigan, it'd be your favorite book. Yeah, sure. If you go put a spinner grub with the Beaver island, then I'd be into it. I'm sorry. That's Old man in the seaward. They found 2,000 boomerangs in King Tutankhamun's tomb. Boy, that's a fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Returning and non returning. Yeah. Collector. You can't take them with you too. He tried. All right. Man. When I was a kid, this is how dumb I. You guys have anything that you just really got wrong as a kid? I thought. Because I, you know, I. I thought they would like throw a boomerang and it would hit a rabbit or whatever, and then it would carry the rabbit back to you, you know. Wow, that is one dumb kid. It is real dumb. And when I say kid right around 27, I think. Yeah. This is the part where I was hoping one of you guys would say, you you did some dumb stuff, too, when you were a kid, but. Yes. But, yeah. I thought chipmunks were baby squirrels till, like, six years ago I said it on air and here I got made fun of. It was a whole thing. They don't have tails, Willie on Twitter. Yeah, I thought they grew the tail and they were 13. Did you ever. Did you ever have a boomerang, Greg? Did you? No. No, we never had one. But I've got a Nerf boomerang in the. In the trunk of my car for my nephews. And apparently those things work. Amazing. They're awesome. They're awesome. Yeah. Really? Yes. Yes. They're so fun. Yeah, I'm gonna. So I'm gonna do that. But when you throw it. I saw a video of a guy like, you throw it vertical, actually. Really? And then it. Yep. And it goes to its side and. Yeah, it's almost like a. It's almost like a pistol grip. Christie. You hold. Almost like a pistol and you throw it vertically and then it sort of flattens out. I thought you threw, like, a Frisbee. Kind of. So did I. So did I. Oh, it's fun. Yeah. You'll love it. And there was a song called My Boomerang Won't Come Back. Oh, my gosh. You've played that for us before. That sounds great. It's not. It's. It has not aged well. Is it creepy? It's astonishingly unwoke. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Don't play it. Guys. I wanna. I want you guys to have a job. I'll see if I can find it. No. So what they would do. He's gonna try and play it, isn't he? Yeah. Your move here is to hang up. Yes. Yeah. Pretend that your connection dropped. Yeah. This is the beginning of it. I'm not a part of this. In the bad backlands of Australia many years ago. I don't know. This is the version. We got a lot of trouble, chief, on account of yours. It's important to remember that's a white guy. Never forget. Yeah. That man grew up in Manhattan, Kansas. His name was Glenn. Really, really white. The chorus is, My boomerang won't come back. Apparently a novelty. I'm sorry. I didn't remember. It was. Hey, look at the time. Oh, yeah. We got to check out Greg Warren. Don't forget. You plug the special for me, won't you? You want me to? No, I wanted Josh to. Oh, well, okay. Next time, address me by name. Yeah. It's the champ.
