=== Remembering Chuck Norris (03:03) ===

[00:00:01]  So, earlier, about the day after I got the news that Chuck Norris died today, I went ahead and shot a quick video talking about him, and I reviewed it.
[00:00:09]  And I made a lot of the points I wanted to make, but I really want to remember Chuck Norris.
[00:00:13]  So, when I get back in Austin the next few days, I'm going to do a whole hour on it and just pull some of the coolest stuff because it had such a huge arc of things he did and the ways he reached people.
[00:00:24]  But the memes really reached everybody, but particularly the young generation of even young kids.
[00:00:31]  And I'm somebody that's experienced being known for memes as well.
[00:00:35]  I mean, I'm known for obviously the films, the talk shows, and the billions and billions of views we've had just on YouTube and things alone.
[00:00:40]  But it's the memes, and I've experienced what it's like to just have the public analyze what you do and then make all these really funny, cool things out of it.
[00:00:52]  And I'm very thankful for it.
[00:00:53]  And I love the memes.
[00:00:55]  Even memes of big corporations have financed before thinking it would hurt me.
[00:00:58]  When they learned it actually helped me, they would try to pull them.
[00:01:01]  The famous Bond Ivor thing that got like 100 million views, where we love our Somalis, we love our Muslims too.
[00:01:06]  Oh, they're so good.
[00:01:07]  Oh, they're so sweet.
[00:01:08]  So, I wanted to ask all of you for really research.
[00:01:11]  It'd be fun research for us all to do for my show coming up later in the week.
[00:01:15]  And I'm going to at least dedicate an hour to Chuck, probably longer, to send me all the best video memes and text memes you've got to post them under this post so that I can go through them.
[00:01:27]  We can all enjoy them together.
[00:01:29]  Maybe make some new ones too.
[00:01:30]  And then I can air that on the main show this week.
[00:01:32]  Just remember Chuck because he loved him.
[00:01:34]  When I talked to him privately a few times, he brought the memes.
[00:01:36]  Don't you love the memes?
[00:01:37]  I got a new one.
[00:01:38]  I got a new one.
[00:01:38]  He kept telling me memes.
[00:01:39]  And on the air, he'd make jokes about, hey, Lego, let's go through some memes.
[00:01:42]  He came on one side with his book that was jokes about the memes.
[00:01:46]  So there's that.
[00:01:46]  Separately, one little clarification because I was talking fast earlier.
[00:01:49]  I'm in my hotel room and the refrigerator was beeping as soon as I started taping, of course.
[00:01:53]  And I was distracted by that.
[00:01:55]  But it sounds like I said Chuck would beat these bullies and bad guys in full contact.
[00:01:59]  Karate was world champion with dirty tricks.
[00:02:05]  He was fighting bullies that fought dirty, but he still didn't do it from the documentaries I've seen about it and still beat them by just total will, calculation, and just strength, how much of a beating he could take.
[00:02:17]  So just really amazing.
[00:02:18]  And I've talked to some of the top MMA guys, like Joe, obviously he's a world champion in Taekwondo as well.
[00:02:26]  It was famous spitting back, kick, knocking people out.
[00:02:27]  And he said, you know, the best ever was Chuck Norris.
[00:02:30]  And that if he was young today and in the modern world, he'd be probably the champion of the UFC.
[00:02:35]  I don't know, though, Jones is something else.
[00:02:37]  So the point is that Chuck Norris is amazing and it really telegraphed how real he was and how authentic.
[00:02:44]  And people really picked that up on the screen, no matter how corny some of his movies were.
[00:02:48]  That was really what made him even more enduring.
[00:02:50]  So I wanted just to add that addendum here that I'd like to see your Chuck Norris memes here.
[00:02:54]  And to be clear, he beat guys that were bigger and were known for doing dirty tricks and cheating.
[00:02:59]  And despite that, he still won.
[00:03:00]  That was my point.
[00:03:02]  Because he'd be taking both the ways the way I said it.
[00:03:04]  Thanks.
