On Instagram a moment ago, no word on the circumstances, but we do know he was getting some healthcare just as recently as this week. So he was a legend in TV and cinema, and of course, the martial arts trained a lot of actors too and actresses along the way. He was at a Val Christian born in the town of Ryan Oklahoma in 1940. Chuck Norris was 86. When it got announced that he was in the hospital yesterday, and according to the statement from the family passed away yesterday, like I didn't think anything of it. As a matter of fact, there was a tweet that was out there that said Chuck Norris is in the hospital. Word is, the hospital is going to be fine. Because it's these great Chuck Norris jokes of how tough Chuck Norris's man was 86. It looks amazing. And so I have them here. So I have a list. I can't guarantee all of them.

These are 103 Chuck Norris jokes from parade.com. And just to give you an example of the kind of things Chuck Norris, the flu gets a Chuck Norris shot every year. Like those were the Chuck Norris jokes. And there are very few people that capture attention like this. Usually it's older women. So for example, the whole push to get Betty White to a Saturday night live, the specials about Betty White, national treasure was Betty White. And then Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton, national treasure. We have an affinity for these things. June Squib. And even like who's June Squib? Once you see who this actress is, you're like, oh my gosh, I know who June Squib is. June Squib played the grandma. Like it's the only touchstone I can give.

I'm really embarrassed. June Squib played the grandma. Yes, that's June Squib. June Squib, SQIBB, a played the grandma in Hubey Halloween. Is he? She plays a still Dubois. Oh, actually, it's Hubey's mother, which is the dumbest movie ever, but I don't get to call Adam Sandler movies dumb because he's worth $150 billion. And I do radio. Well done, Mr. Sandler. Well played, you in this round. But Chuck Norris is one of those guys, totally, totally one of those people. Just adored. Chuck Norris, awesome. Chuck Norris, cool. Chuck Norris, great. By the way, I want everyone this year if you're having a boy, name your kid Chuck Norris.

Norris is the middle name. Do it right now. Chuck Norris, whatever. Chuck Norris cats. Somebody get my wife or about to have a baby. By the way, Chuck Cats is a rough name. That is hard. I wanted to name one of my boys Max, but Max Cats is impossible. You can't say that out loud. But people's jaws will break Max Cats. And then we went to Maximilian. And then for a while, it was Maximo. Oh, that's a good name. That's a good name. You could do Maximo cats, but cats are very hard last name to work with. Norris. Norris is great. So I have now here the 103 allegedly from parade.com best Chuck Norris jokes. So if you are on Twitter, you could throw out a number, Twitter, exit Tony cats in the chat room. You could throw out a number, but I will start with traditional and then you throw out a number between one and 103 and an honor of the late great

Chuck Norris who gave us such joy and kicked a lot of bad guys square in the testicles. I will tell you a joke. Go ahead. Number between one and 103. Well, since he is passed away at the rightful age of 86, let's go at number 86. 86. Well done. Well played number 86. Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open. That's Chuck Norris right there. Uh, the, the, uh, chat, uh, uh, way to go, chat room. Chuck Norris didn't die. He told death he was coming. That's good. Well done, Sarah. Sarah who does all our digital work. Well done. Number 39. Number 39 on the list. Champions are the breakfast of Chuck Norris. Number 22. Number 22 on the list. Chuck Norris

passing away at the age of 86, also for the record, there's a possibility he was sick and didn't tell anybody. I got to get into that because there's a whole thing I have about that. Like if you were sick, would you tell anyone? And like I, I, I, I'm there. I, I get that I wouldn't do that, but like, like, it's like normal Donald. It's like, uh, Catherine O'Hara, what was your wasn't he? I do not know. I have no idea if, if he was, but it kind of the statement from the family. Can you find that for me in traditional land? And I have it somewhere. I just can't find it right now. The statement from the family kind of makes you think that he was ill and maybe they knew it. Uh, number 71, number 71. This is the 103 best Chuck Norris jokes. Number 71, the chatroom wants to hear number 71. Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chuck Norris has 72 and they're

all lethal. I don't know why that's a joke. But there it is. Uh, number 59. I will give you number 59. Chuck Norris is the only person that can punch the cyclops between the eye. Oh my god, it's really funny. That's good. That's really good. I actually turned red by whole face is is is a very unique shade of red. Oh my gosh, that's really good. I'm sorry. I left the forehead. I apologize. Oh, that is solid. Who else can you do this with? Who else could you possibly do this with? Uh, number 22. On the seventh day, God rested and Chuck Norris took over.

Number 24 Chuck Norris drinks napalm to fight his heartburn. Number 23 Chuck Norris can dribble a bowling ball. That's talent right there. Number 26. If you want a list of Chuck Norris's enemies, just check the Extinct Species list. Oh, that's so good. Chuck Norris once shot an enemy plane down with his finger by yelling bang. Chuck Norris does not use spell check. If he happens to misspella word, Oxford will change the spelling. Number 30. Some kids pee their name in the snow. Chuck Norris can pee his name into concrete.

Oh, number 32. Maybe 32 and 33 are fantastic. Number 32 Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice. That's really funny. And number 33 Chuck Norris can speak braille. Well, that's man. Good work people. Good work on those right there. But I mean, like, how many people get that? How many people get that? The only person I can think of right now who, when they pass, will get that treatment? Bill Murray. Right? Just, it's like weirdly transcendent. It's Taylor Swift would not get that treatment. Donald Trump will definitely not get that treatment.

What happens in the society? Like, how does that work? Where we all, in all these disparate views, can't get people to agree on anything. The hot mess that is social media, the, the, the, the Yelp review society of trying to tear people down unless they give us something for free. How does everyone decide? Oh, yeah, Chuck Norris. Oh, he's awesome. How does that work? As a matter of sociology, Betty White? How did that happen? And who is before Betty White? Like, who is universally loved? Just a door before her? All right. Just because I can't think of them right now doesn't mean that it didn't exist. It's incredible. And I would argue that the vast majority of people don't even know his work outside of Walker, Texas Ranger. They have absolutely no

clue. No clue. And yet they know this. Like, I, I, that study to me is, is super fascinating. How does that transcendency in culture take place? How does that happen? How does that, that, that work? Pretty sure Landon saying he was in dodgeball. Yeah, okay. He's given the thumbs up and the whole thing, but it's not what people really remember him for. I don't know, maybe a younger generation knows him for that. It doesn't know what protects the stranger. But everyone knows this one little thing. And that, and that creates the rest. That's incredible. By the way, did he teach Bob Barker Karate? Is that a true story? Look that up, producer Landon. Somebody tell me on the Twitter

X. Did Chuck Norris teach Bob Barker Karate? And yes, on Twitter, that's a great joke. And Halloween kids bring Chuck Norris candy. And he trained prices right Bob Barker.
