SPEAKER_01 3:15

Oh yeah, Chuck Norris died.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

Chuck Norris died. What was he, 84?

SPEAKER_01 3:20

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 3:21

I believe he was 84. So you can't. You know, it's like when I saw that, it's like, I cannot believe, you know, you like that with everybody. Every actor, actress, entertainer, whoever it is, you're always like, oh, I cannot believe, but it's like they lived a f a full life. Yeah, I did I didn't think he could die.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

Yeah. You know, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

Because all the memes that was that's what he he was known for. His second coming, I guess, was uh from the internet sluice out there or whatever that started the memes about.

SPEAKER_01 3:51

I got no clue what you're talking about. I hadn't seen that. Really? Yes.

SPEAKER_00 3:55

Well, you know, what I wanted to do just for a few minutes is let's talk about Chuck Norris, shall we? You want to know about Chuck Norris?

huck Norris Career And Legacy

SPEAKER_02 4:03

Sure.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

Carlos Ray Norris, better known as Chuck Norris, was born on March 10th, 1940. That makes him 86. Wow. I said 84. In Oklahoma. The great state of Oklahoma. But his story really begins overseas while serving in the U.S. Air Force in South Korea, and I did not know that. Uh he introduced he was introduced to martial arts. What started as curiosity quickly turned into obsession. Norris didn't just train, he dominated. By the late 1960s, he became a multiple-time world karate champion, holding titles for years without defeat. I don't know if that's true or not. You know, sometimes when you ask Chat GPT some stuff, you know. I know he's tough and all, but I don't know if he went years and years. I hope he did. I hope he did, because I love Chuck Norris. He trained celebrities, opened martial arts schools, and built a reputation as one of the one of the toughest fighters in America. Among his students, stars like Steve McQueen. Did you know Steve McQueen?

SPEAKER_01 5:10

I know that name.

SPEAKER_00 5:11

You're thinking of Lightning McQueen.

SPEAKER_01 5:13

No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

You're thinking of cars. It was before your time. He died in the 80s.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

I still know that name. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:23

For some reason.

SPEAKER_00 5:24

Well, he was an actor. He was in action movies and some westerns and stuff like that. Alright, one of the most iconic moments in martial arts film history came when Chuck Norris faced off against guess who?

SPEAKER_01 5:37

Lightning McQueen.

SPEAKER_00 5:38

Bruce Lee.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 5:40

Have you heard of Bruce Lee? The fight happens in the 1972 film Way of the Dragon. Set inside the Roman Coliseum. It's one of the most famous fight scenes ever filmed. Uh Norris, but here's the truth. Norris and Bruce Lee were actually friends and training partners in real life. So they knew each other. Lee even invited Norris into the movie personally. So he had a personal invite to be in it. On screen, Norris loses the fight, but off-screen, the respect between them was very real. After that, Chuck Norris transitioned into action films. Some of his biggest movies include Good Guys We're Black, Lone Wolf McQuaid, Missing in Action, The Delta Force. I loved The Delta Force.

SPEAKER_01 6:33

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know if I've ever seen a movie with him in it.

SPEAKER_00 6:37

Probably not.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

I'm not sat down. Now my dad would have him on TV.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

I know what you're gonna say. So I incorporate Chuck Norris with getting a VCR because we got a VCR whenever that time was. Mid eighties, I guess it was. I guess that'd probably be the mid-80s. So when we went to rent a movie, this was when Chuck Norris was at his heyday. So like the missing in action, the Delta Force, all that was coming out so you could rent it. So that's how I became, you know, started to know him that way.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

So well was Chuck Norris the Nordic track thing?

SPEAKER_00 7:17

I'm gonna get into that.

SPEAKER_01 7:18

The exercise thing.

SPEAKER_00 7:19

It wasn't the Nordic track. I'll tell you what it was.

SPEAKER_01 7:21

Is it the one we got? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:22

Oh you're just spoiling it all, aren't you? Well You know I gotta spit it out there when I think about it, or I'm never gonna think about it again because But I remember on the Delta Force, he drove a motorcycle. He was in the desert and it had two little missiles on each side of it and on the back of it. And you know, he could shoot 'em, but it was pretty cool. Anyway. Um he became known for playing tough, no nonsense heroes, often lone warriors taking on impossible odds. In the 2000s, he even appeared alongside other action legends in The Expendables 2. Did you know that? Is that true? I don't even know what that is. The Expendables, it had Arnold Schwarzenegger.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

That's a boy movie. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

Sylvester Stallone. I wanted to say Bruce Lee. What's uh Bruce Willis? All the action heroes in there. So I guess he was in there. I just don't remember him, but I didn't see the second one. I saw the first one. So head or no. Uh but for many people, Chuck Norris is best known for television. His biggest role came in. Tell me.

SPEAKER_01 8:31

Don't know.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

Walker, Texas Ranger.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:35

Oh my goodness. That's what your dad watched.

SPEAKER_01 8:38

Oh, yeah, that's what was on his TV all the time.

SPEAKER_00 8:41

He played Cordell Walker, a Texas Ranger who combined martial arts with old school justice. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I want everybody. I want old school justice back on these streets.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:53

Beat them down.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

Good luck with that one.

SPEAKER_00 8:55

The show ran for eight seasons and turned him into a household name worldwide. That's all.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

I feel like it was on.

SPEAKER_00 9:01

But it's it's played everywhere. Everywhere all the time. So that's what it is. So I think it's a lot of people feel like it.

SPEAKER_01 9:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:11

Outside of Hollywood, Norris built a business empire. He founded martial arts organizations and schools. He promoted fitness equipment like the Total Gym.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

Total Gym.

SPEAKER_00 9:22

Which we purchased one and still have.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

We have had that for it along and it's lasted.

huck Norris Facts Meme Roundup

SPEAKER_00 9:27

Oh my goodness. He wrote books on fitness, philosophy, and faith. He was a Christian. So that's good. He's also been involved in charitable work, especially programs for at-risk youth. He wasn't just an action star, he was a brand. In the mid-2000s, Chuck Norris found a second life online. Here we go.

SPEAKER_01 9:51

SPEAKER_00 9:51

The Chuck Norris Facts meme turned him into a larger than life almost mythical figure. Suddenly a new generation knew his name, not just as an actor, but as an unstoppable force of nature. Now you're telling me that you haven't seen any of these memes ever about Chuck Norris?

SPEAKER_01 10:12

I'm gonna go through a few here in a minute. Okay. And maybe that'll jog your memory.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

I doubt it.

SPEAKER_00 10:19

Uh let's see. I think that's uh he starred in over 30 films. Another fact about him. But let me tell you, do you remember the Dosaki's The what? Dosaki's beer commercials. No. About the most interesting man in the world?

SPEAKER_01 10:33

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:35

I think they missed out. They missed the perfect opportunity, and I said this from day one when I saw him. They should have had, and these are because of the memes of Chuck Norris. They should have had Chuck Norris play that part as the most interesting man in the world. It would have been per yes, it would have been perfect. Perfect, I'm telling you. Shoot us a text and tell me you agree with me. Alright, I'm gonna go over some of these memes. I know I I just can't believe that you haven't heard any of these. I mean Chuck Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the earth down. He counted to infinity twice. When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris doesn't read books, he stares them down until he gets the information.

SPEAKER_01 11:25

I've never heard anything.

SPEAKER_00 11:26

Chuck Norris can divide by zero. He doesn't wear a watch, he decides what time it is. Google doesn't search for answers, it asks Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

I've never heard of it.

SPEAKER_00 11:54

Chuck Norris can hear sign language. I thought that was funny. Chuck Norris beat the sun in a staring contest. His tears cure cancer. Too bad he never cried.

SPEAKER_01 12:06

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

Because he's tough.

SPEAKER_01 12:09

Chuck Norris can unscramble an egg. He once won a game of Connect 4 in three moves. Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He waits.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:23

SPEAKER_00 12:34

Because I liked that one. That was that was funny.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:37

I love Chuck Norris. But realistically, can you be oh, I can't believe we always say that when we see an entertainer pass away, but you're talking 86. We should be like, well, he lived a you know a wonderful life. I don't know. Uh it might have been two years ago. I saw maybe an interview with him, you know, and seemed like decent health. I know he exercised and did all that. I mean, his whole life. So um I don't think he just had, you know, real any kind of major health problems, you know, for the last ten or fifteen years, and that something might have happened to, you know, the last six years.

SPEAKER_01 13:11

What was his cause of death?

SPEAKER_00 13:12

They didn't say. No, he lives in Hawaii and uh the family was was not specifying. I mean, it was weird because they made that it was a weird quote of how they put it. Um they should have just said, you know, he died peacefully with family. Yeah. But they put another thing in there that kind of made it sound weird. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 13:33

I didn't say it.

SPEAKER_00 13:34

I don't know. I don't know. Long live Chuck Norris memes.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:03

Just one. You're gonna forget?

SPEAKER_00 14:06

No, I'm not gonna forget.

unknown 14:08

All right.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

Would you believe I got stopped by another train this week? You know, we talked last week, I got stopped by a train for 51 minutes. All that. If you don't know the story, listen to the last episode. You'll hear it. But this was a different, totally different spot I've never been stopped at. And it was on it was on a Friday again. So it was exactly a week later. Got stopped by another train. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

SPEAKER_01 14:32

You and your trains.

SPEAKER_00 14:33

Yeah. But I'm done with trains. I'm not gonna cross any more tracks. I'm gonna find a way around them from now on.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

Yeah, right. Good luck with that. You just you said last time that you couldn't go around the track that you got stopped on. You didn't know how to go around it to get where you were going.

SPEAKER_00 14:50

I know. I just did you not hear what I just said? I'm gonna find a way around all of the track. Yep, I'm not going over any more train tracks. Yeah. Ever.

levator Etiquette And Awkward Exits

SPEAKER_01 14:58

Good luck. All right, let's go to elevator talk instead of train tracks. We're going to elevators.

SPEAKER_00 15:05

We're on an elevator this week.

SPEAKER_01 15:07

And this will be wherever an elevator is, and you're on the elevator.

SPEAKER_00 15:11

We were on an elevator this week. Is that what caused this?

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:14

Okay, so if you're on an elevator or let's back up. If you're standing there waiting on the elevator, do you stand right in the middle of the door? Or do you kind of stand off to the side because people are gonna come out?

SPEAKER_00 15:32

I think now that I think I want to say I stand off to the side in front of the button, but now that I think about it, I think I tend to hover towards the doors, especially when I know that the elevator is right there about to open. I I think I don't have a thought about anything but entering the elevator. Why?

SPEAKER_01 15:49

So people are gonna come off of that elevator. You almost smack them sometimes because they're ready to come on out of there and you're coming in.

SPEAKER_00 15:58

Okay, so you're so when we were getting off the elevator this time, the people were standing immediately. It's like right there.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

We could not get off.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

You can get off the elevator.

SPEAKER_01 16:08

We could not get off because they were coming in.

SPEAKER_00 16:09

But is it is it because of the speed of the doors closing? So the people want to get off and the people want to get on because they're afraid of the doors? Is that what it is? Instead of being like, all right, y'all go ahead.

unknown 16:21

No.

SPEAKER_01 16:21

Do you not feel like We should stand there and let the people off?

SPEAKER_00 16:25

Let me ask you this. So there was a guy on the elevator when it opened up and he was going either down or up, whichever way we were going. So we got on the elevator when he did. We went a floor down or up. When the elevator doors open, I felt weird going out before him because I feel like he's already there. We should be letting him go out first.

SPEAKER_01 16:44

No, I don't, I don't feel weird. If I'm standing in the front or on the side, I just go. If you're not moving, I'm gone.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

I I mean I just went.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:53

But in my mind I was thinking I need to let him go, but No, you just go.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

He was standing over in the corner. Now, if he'd have made a little bit of a move, sliding him feet towards the front. But yeah, I think you should wait just a second because you know more than likely somebody is coming off of that elevator. If you're in like a hospital, you're in like a busy hospital. That's what it is.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

If you're in the elevator, should you not get ready to get to the sides to let the people in so you can get out? Is that the way it should be?

SPEAKER_01 17:29

I don't think it should be.

SPEAKER_00 17:30

Are we supposed to empty the elevator out of the way?

SPEAKER_01 17:32

Are you supposed to empty it before you go in, before more come in?

SPEAKER_00 17:35

I mean, that makes sense, of course, but I'm just asking.

SPEAKER_01 17:37

People need to do the way I say it. Because it makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 17:40

I have a fear, and it didn't help me out any when I saw a video a couple of days ago. It was funny because you know, you know, when you do something or you're talking about something, you start getting the videos or the on your phone or the advertisements of because you've been talking about neckties and for whatever reason. Porch goose. Porch gooses.

SPEAKER_01 18:00

Now they're on my Facebook feed.

SPEAKER_00 18:02

Would it be porch geese? Probably. Or gooses. No, it says porch goose on it. I know, but if you wanted to, would it be porch geese? I guess.

unknown 18:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:11

Uh which swear a guy was getting all the elevator doors opened up, and this looked like he's in India. Somewhere in the middle, he's possibly. Um, and as he was getting off, the elevator went down. So the way it looks, it didn't cut him in half or anything like that, but he he didn't come out unscathed, let's put it that way. But the elevator doors were remaining open as the elevator went down, so you started to see the concrete and uh everything that's in between the floors as it went down. Now I remember several years ago there was a a video from New York where a guy was getting out. It was uh the camera image was from the lobby pointing towards the elevators, and the guy was getting off of the elevator and the elevator dropped. Now it didn't do like this one. This one just started going to the next level, like hey, somebody pushed a button, it's going down, you know, at a decent speed. This one is like you cut the cord and it just dropped. And so it like cut him and in half or whatever it did, but hey, yes, it's terrible. So I I have a little bit of that fear, like when I get to the edge, I need to do a little bit of a little bit of a jump out the just in case. But I think I have more of a fear of escalators than I do of elevators. I just feel like if I don't pick my feet up at the right time, right when I'm getting on it, that's gonna eat you. Or when I get off of it, that yeah, it's gonna like suck me in. Yeah. And where's do they have emergency buttons? Is that gonna it's not gonna shut down in time before it's ripped half my leg off?

SPEAKER_01 19:44

I remember one time when I was out shopping with my nieces and mother-in-law and sister-in-law, me and my niece got on the elevator and the doors closed so fast me and her just went and they're still standing on the other side of the elevator.

SPEAKER_02 20:01

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 20:02

This is when they were little, because I'm pretty sure she was in the stroller. And the door closes, and I'm just like, oh crap, where are we going? What are we doing?

SPEAKER_00 20:15

So you don't know whether to just go up and wait on them? Yeah, we we were in a mall. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

I think we were leaving, I think. I can't remember. I think we went right back to them. I think I made the decision to go right back to them. I think.

SPEAKER_00 20:28

I saw one where somebody was getting off the elevator, and this just is this is terrible out. I mean, just the timing. They drop their phone and it bounces and goes right down the crease of the other thing is I've seen videos of where people and their pets, by the way, let's go back to I was at a gas station today, and a lady opened up I was at the gas pump, and I just happened to be looking at the door, main door when it opened up, and here comes a lady and she's holding the door open. Not for a human that's with her, but it's with her a big old bulldog. Yeah, and I'm like, really? You had you had to take a minute to get your slushy.

SPEAKER_01 21:11

hurch Elevator Anxiety And Safety Fears

SPEAKER_00 21:22

I guess. But back to the elevators. Back to the elevators is when you have I've seen where they've got pets, they've got a dog, and they're on a leash, and either the dog they come into the elevator and the dog doesn't, and the doors close, and that leash is in between the dogs on one side of the elevator doors, and that's that'd be horrible. And so I saw one where the guy rescued the dog and was able to save it before it got choked to death. But uh some of them hadn't been good videos.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

Well, so my thought about the elevator talking about people coming on and off of it, so if y'all've listened to the few of our episodes Before um we've talked about I work at our the church we attend and we build a new building and it has an elevator in it. Friday I was going to put some stuff in the new church because our office is not by the sanctuary. Our office is still in the old part of the campus.

SPEAKER_00 22:23

So your office is in on the very end of one building. Yeah. And the new campus is on the very far end of the one.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

So I'm walking over there and I have my hands full and well we know I can't go down steps, so I'm taking the elevator.

SPEAKER_00 22:40

I saw you bust it.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

Shut up.

SPEAKER_00 22:42

On a Sunday night at church. Wasn't it Sunday night or was it Sunday night? You missed the last step.

SPEAKER_01 22:49

I feel like it was the last two-step. It was the candlelight service. But you landed straight on my knees.

SPEAKER_00 22:56

Well, I know, but it was in a way that I thought, I don't know how you landed the way you did, because it was the best to me the best perfect outcome. Because if it was a me, I would have gone headfirst into the drywall that was straight in front and would have cracked my neck or something. Yeah. But you it hurt. You landed perfect.

SPEAKER_01 23:13

Anyway, so I was ever since then, I've not liked going down the stairs. Um I was carrying stuff, so I sure was not going down the stairs. And so I was standing there. I was up top, so I had to, I was on second floor, so I had to wait on the elevator to come up. And I started thinking nobody should be in this elevator, but I'm standing to the side because what if somebody comes out of this elevator? It's gonna scare the crap out of me. Because there's nobody in the church. Shouldn't be anybody in the church. Um, you know, the church is closed and everything.

SPEAKER_00 23:51

So I don't think I'm taking an elevator with nobody else in the building.

SPEAKER_01 23:55

Nobody's in the building.

SPEAKER_00 23:56

Because if something happens and I'm thinking We'll eventually find you, but you I mean, you're talking could be a couple hours.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:03

Like I don't know where she went.

SPEAKER_01 24:04

I mean, I'm thinking if somebody's in this elevator, I'm gonna crap my pants.

SPEAKER_00 24:08

In our church has I counted one time. This is men's and women's restroom count all together. It's like 17 bathrooms all together. Seventeen or nine, it's some crazy number like that. But between the gym, the old building, the new building, everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 24:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

So it would take two hours to check all the bathrooms to see where you're at.

SPEAKER_01 24:31

I don't know. I just got thinking about that. If somebody was to come off that elevator while I'm standing there, I'd I'd probably punch 'em. Yeah. I think I'd pull a Chuck Norris. So that's my elevator story.

SPEAKER_00 24:49

I used to be afraid of getting on. Kinda. I mean, I just like I just the thought of being stuck on it, I cannot stand. But I've never really thought about if it just drops. You know, if it drops a a couple of stories, that's that's still bad. Yeah. I mean, whether it's ten stories or two stories, it's still bad. You picked up enough speed that it's gonna hurt.

SPEAKER_01 25:10

I think so.

SPEAKER_00 25:10

Yeah, ten stories is like a death sentence.

SPEAKER_01 25:16

He's hot.

SPEAKER_00 25:16

Hey, it is a hot day in Alabama. It is hot. I don't know what it, but it I know it. I washed the truck. I've been outside and I'm like, I'm kind of ready for fall. I was thinking, you know, when it's cold, you're ready for it to be summertime. And I and it wasn't hot. It wasn't hot, I mean we're still looking.

SPEAKER_01 25:34

But it wasn't hot.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

Yeah, not yet. But it was to the point where I can't believe it, you know, when it gets hotter than what it is today. I don't know if I can handle it.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

I wouldn't like it in I don't like it any hotter than it is today. Today's fine.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

It seemed too hot. Well, I was out in it.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

I mean, it was hot, but I think I can handle it.

SPEAKER_00 25:51

But that and the pollen falling. So I was so I've got a black truck, and by the time I got one side washed and it dried with yellow all over it. So I mean I I did get the dirt off, but I mean the pin. You know, pollen's gonna have them, so it'll it'll blow off, and then when you get stopped, it'll gather on it again. So that's fine, no big deal. Now when you go down to the edge of the water down there, oh yeah, now you'll have like a three foot like thickness of yellow pollen that's washed up on the bank and it's nasty.

SPEAKER_01 26:24

It's almost um kayaking time.

SPEAKER_00 26:28

Yeah, we had two kayakers come by a little while.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

They were fishing too.

SPEAKER_00 26:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

Did you see that?

SPEAKER_00 26:32

I was gonna holler at them because I didn't see life jackets, and I was gonna tell them. I said, Look, you better with that water patrol, because I saw him out there at water patrol.

SPEAKER_01 26:40

Well, you don't see our life jackets when we go.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

Yeah, you do because we've got the the back part of the kayak that it it slides under.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

We've got a little rope I mean, I know they're there, but I thought you can't see them.

SPEAKER_00 26:51

No, you can see 'em because there's a little netting thing. It's it they're sitting there.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

I guess I was thinking it was under something on our kayak.

SPEAKER_00 26:58

You can see 'em. It's easy. You just reach back behind, you can yank it out of that little netting and you got it. But you can you can see it. But I I did not see nothing. And there wasn't one of them was a decent sized dude, and I know it wasn't hiding in the inside part. You got different ones. The kind that you're just sitting on top of and you're exposed, and the other one that you're kinda down in a hole.

unknown 27:18
