I don't know if you know by now but Kurt Douglas has died

Was he 103?

He was like, yeah, he was like a radio station.

When you get up to like the right hand, the right side of the dial on the radio, it's,

you're not going that eye.

Now there's a comedian who does this joke, but like first of all, New York Times says Kirk Douglas, one of the last surviving movies stars from Hollywood's Golden Age. He's not the last, whose rugged good looks in muscular intensity. And a comedian does this joke, I can't remember one. But what was considered muscular back then? Yeah. Like at Spartacus. Yeah, you see him with a shirt off and stuff, and you're like, whoa.

This isn't the rock.

No, no.

I mean, Spartacus is thin.

Do you think that's about as big as you can get without any steroids?

That, yes, because that's like the triangular weight that they lived with one and two.

Like the strong man from back in the days with the barbell with the circular weights. They're the bar moustaches. They're all bald. I bet that's as big as you could get without any kind of chemicals or any sort of supplement. Yeah. So that's probably why he was known as like this monster of a man. Because like the bodybuilders of the time, like the Jack Lillanes, they had that like Terry Francona Iron Sheik's stomach.

It's true.

Yeah, they totally did.

And if they were doing steroids, they were like, they just took like semen out of a horse and injected it in them.

Testosterone.

There's kind of been a roller coaster of beefcake when it comes to your action heroes. Because, you know, back in the day, Kirk Tongue goes he had to be a small, then came Schwartz and it was just like, Roidfest, 2000, and whatever. The visual is great. Or 1890. And then it went, okay, now all of a sudden, what's the guy from the old dude from the Taken movies? Liam Nieson all of a sudden, like, action hero. And the guy from the bat, and Matt Damon from the board identity. And now all of a sudden it's at the rock and it's Vin Diesel again. So you're kind of on the beefcake roller coaster when it comes to actually. Apparently he was standing a towering 5-9 as well.

So 5-9 and thin somehow was, ah.

And then it says, okay, so Kirk Douglas, one of the last surviving movie stars for Hollywood's golden age,

whose rugged good looks and muscular intensity made him a commanding presence in celebrated films like Lus for Life, Spartacus, and Pass of Glory. How much money
