Posted in GETV Episode by ekai on the September 29th, 2008

You think you know, but you have no idea…..how tough Chuck Norris really is until you read Ian Spector’s book “The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 Facts About the World’s Greatest Human.” GETV caught up with Ian at MIT’s ROFLcon and – despite the fact that Irina only knows about “Walker, Texas Ranger” because it comes on after two back-to-back episodes of “Murder, She Wrote” – got to the core of the Ian’s obsession about Chuck. Or at least figured out that Chuck is suing Ian so we really couldn’t talk that much about what Chuck thinks about Ian, but Irina did make plans with the under-21-year-old author to sneak him into a bar for some illegal drinking. The book has since become a best-seller and we hope will pay for Ian’s medical school bills. (Special post production thanks to Jonny Dailey).

Was Irina fresh from a trip to the mother land? What's with the accent...

Maurice

pays to read prior comments before posting. my question was answered. incidentally, i've noticed that my accent goes native too when i speak to fellow countrymen/women.

Chuck may suck, etc, but a dude who makes money/fame off of mocking another successful dude is pure scum. Humor is humor, but mocking someone who never f'd with you in public is just asking for karmic backlash.

Good job kid. Enjoy explaining this one to your grandkids.

"Don't trust the public" he says. Med school? This guy is the living prophecy of Carlin's "Worst Doctor" concept.
