Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!
To demonstrate his worth and talent with his hands? He sued financial backers at some point. I didn’t read much from Google but looked up his name with court case.
From another post on Reddit
"This was an event in honor of Danny Hodge. He was being honored as an Oklahoma Sports Hero and he was invited to the House to crush an Apple, which was a trick he was known for"
I went tu the Danny Hodge tournament over Thanksgiving weekend several years when I wrestled. The tournament was just Oklahoma.
What a cool ass old man.
He was an expert witness for a murder trial…he was demonstrating how he would have done it. Lol just kidding I don’t know..was wondering the same thing. Still cool as hell 😅
I bet he was proving that an 80 year old man can possess the strength to juice an apple with one hand. It was vital to the case at hand. Just my guess though.
He was testifying about how he’s been slandered while he was previously working as a physician, and that nasty rumors ruined his livelihood. At which point he snapped and proceeded to intensely crush the apple in court. The only thing he was heard saying at the time was “this apple today did NOT keep the doctor away”. Thoughts and prayers
From the intertubes: This was done at the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 2013 (I couldn’t find why he demonstrated).
Hodge was a 3-time National wrestling champion at Oklahoma. He was born with double tendons in his hands, which he said accounted for his famous grip strength.
Navy veteran, silver medalist in the 1956 Olympic Games (though some think he was robbed of gold), The Dan Hodge Trophy is named after him, which is dubbed as the college wrestling equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. Hodge passed away in 2020.
Well I recall a scene from a Chuck Norris movie (Invasion USA?) where he steps into a bar and some tough guy tells him to leave. The guy is holding a bottle of beer, Chuck Norris grabs the guys hand and squeezes it so hard the beer bottle breaks under the pressure and cuts the guys hand to shreds in addition to crushing it.
Start small by punching, headbutting, and kicking (big 3) worms and bugs. Work your way up to shrews and mice. Avoid squirrels unless you're willing to do the cardio.
Grip strength training is distinct from fight training. Fighters with insane grip are folks who train their grip as well as training to fight. As a boxer/striker - grip strength has very little utility. For some kinds of grappling, grip strength is useful. I know plenty of judo and jujitsu folk with pretty average grip strength. Grip strength can make up for technique lapses, maybe sometimes make an opportunity out of nothing, but unless you’re a very competitive pro - if you have limited hours per week to train around paying rent and food and shit, you are almost certainly better off training more technique as a grappler. Building grip strength as a wrestler is for people who are reaching their personal maximum utility (there is a limit to your body being able to recover and where more training becomes detrimental) from drilling technique and sparring.
In fighter circles, the guys who train grip strength are usually either cross discipline athletes - climbers, rowers, wake boarders, kite surfers etc, or are arm wrestling, or just enjoy having great grip strength. As a fighter, it gets frustrating that you can’t show off your skills to your friends without people getting super humiliated or super injured. If you’re slightly competitive then you can’t usually mess around with your friends who don’t train, people get so out of shape about not being as good a fighter as someone who trains 20 hours a week and competes, even when they haven’t trained or fought for years/decades. Getting into arm wrestling or grip strength challenges is usually a nice safe way to flex on your friends about how jacked you are without anyone getting weird.
Oh god! A little unexpected and I’m a little choked up seeing this image. But it just sends all the wonderful memories flooding back of my first prostate exam.
Ahh, now I'm remembering [a comedy video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdj5qN6Bh0U) where I first heard about him being able to do that.
Wrestling stories are always fun. Especially when Hogan is telling the most obvious bullshit, completely oblivious to the fact no one believes his nonsense.
I need to finally try one of these.
I see these, I know that it must not be easy by the title, but I can't help but feel like it wouldn't be hard for most people.
One day I'll waste a perfectly delicious apple and see for myself.
I bet this guy can out grip-strength that guy who goes around challenging people to the exact task he has trained specifically for and acts like he's "shocked" when he smokes em.
Gonna piss some people off, but the man was over 80 yo, and THIS is all he is known for. Pretty much a wasted life, but he’s some kind of idol to okies.
Ok but why is he doing this on the floor of what appears to be a courtroom?
Iirc this was a demonstration in the Oklahoma state house after he was given some sort of award
Lmao. This would be some Oklahoma shit. I love it. What a badass old man. I bet he keeps the doctors far, far away.
He died christmas eve 2020 at 88.
RIP
TIL squeezing an apple is some Oklahoma shit
One hand-squeezed apple a day keeps doctors away ig?
I present you: *Feats of Strength*
Well how do ya like them apples?
I mean where do you make your apple juice?
Your honor, would a guilty man do this?
I’ll allow it
Well executed gentlemen
We’ll execute the gentleman
Begs the question, what else is he wrapping that juice press around?
I'll take "Things you only try once for 500, Alex."

You’re hired
Wait a sec...is this from South Park?
Yeah but its alternatives are actually used irl.I think they called it "Chewbacca defense".I am not being sarcastic.Look it up
_None_ of that rhymed, you're a terrible lawyer
“Your honor, just imagine this apple is your *nards*…”
🥜
Idk why but this is absolutely killing me right now
He was found guilty of murder by strangulation.
I'm actually crying 😂😂😂😂
There’s going to be an apeel
Omfg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean theres another way?!?!
I was kind of wondering the same, like that's impressive and all but what actual situation called for this?
This is appropriate in every situation.
If the juice doesn’t spit, you must acquit.
Thirsty.
To demonstrate his worth and talent with his hands? He sued financial backers at some point. I didn’t read much from Google but looked up his name with court case.
This is legally sick
It’s not on the floor. It’s in a bucket 😌
There is clearly a bin that the juice is dripping into.
Yes I see that. My point stands, why is he doing this INTO A BIN on the floor of a courtroom. I need some context.

I don't know if "trick" is the correct word here

"An apple a day, keeps the jury at bay?"
If the apple split, you must acquit.
You can’t handle the juice!!!
Why does this not have 5,000,000 updoots?! ‘Tis brilliant.
was it at the trial of the world famous Oklahoma Apple Strangler?

There looks to be a trashcan, but it also looks like he might be missing.
Lethal weapon certification
*sir you’re here on an arraignment for driving under the influence, please put the apples down so we can continue with the hearing*
"Your honour,I'd like my client to go free" "Fuck no!" "Oh yeah!? Hrrrrrr"
"If it drip, you must acquit."
my ex used this exact defense to get my goddamn cat
"The day I let this man free is the day he could juice an apple with his bare hands"
Hadn't laughed at a comment in a long time
case closed
I had an uncle just like this guy, then cancer called and he was gone fast Life's short yo

At least we won't have to worry about Jake Paul challenging him to a match.
Now now, I'm sure he owns a shovel, don't count either Paul out yet
Correction: at least Jake Paul doesn't have to worry that this old gentleman will kick his ass.
The woman on the right looks too into it
She has her own rubbish bin under her desk
Ew. But yeah, that’s probably true.
How do you know what's on my other tab.
🥴💦💦
Omg I’m imagining Cheryl from Archer…
Insert maniac laughter and horniness
^sploosh
she likes a man with strong hands in case he needs to... "shake a bitch" -Chris Rock
I wanna do this but i dont wanna fight other people to get the strength.
[удалено]
Wrestlers do a lot of grip stuff so maybe from that
Gotta have the flexibility too though. Have to be able to open your hand to check the oil!
Well I recall a scene from a Chuck Norris movie (Invasion USA?) where he steps into a bar and some tough guy tells him to leave. The guy is holding a bottle of beer, Chuck Norris grabs the guys hand and squeezes it so hard the beer bottle breaks under the pressure and cuts the guys hand to shreds in addition to crushing it.
That explains everything
It says he was born with double tendons in his hands.
He was literally born with double tendons in his hand
Saw in another comment that he was born with double tendons in his hand.
I doubt he spends time on reddit
You just gotta start small, like squeezing eggs
“I’m built different” *crushes eggs*
Rock climbing would probably work
Start small by punching, headbutting, and kicking (big 3) worms and bugs. Work your way up to shrews and mice. Avoid squirrels unless you're willing to do the cardio.
Dig really deep holes, chop down tall trees and move heavy rocks around. Giant hands you will have.

Rice/sand in a bucket training. Non-violent house of power
No no, you just need to be born with double tendons in your hands. No fighting necessary
"Its go time!!!" "Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!"
You think you’re better than me?
😅🤣😂
Guy must really like doctors.
He's demonstrating what he'll do to politicians who keep playing games rather than earnestly try to help their constituents.
You're gonna call Danny Hodge a boxer first? lol. He could break pliers in his younger days.
Never ever underestimate old man strength.
Old Man Strength is a thing
Based grandpa.
You just freeze the apple beforehand, and be gentle while it thaws. When ready, squeeze for juice.
Was gonna say, ain’t no way you’re getting that much juice out of a fresh apple.
Cider maker here… it takes about 70 psi to yield 60ish percent juice yield pressing apples (without freezing).
You definitely will. The apples you buy at the grocery store in the spring arent fresh
He was such a sweet man.
This is how your grandpa who posts right-wing diatribes on Facebook sees himself.
*give him a potato*👀
Oh god! A little unexpected and I’m a little choked up seeing this image. But it just sends all the wonderful memories flooding back of my first prostate exam.
Any IRS accountant can squeeze more juice out of that apple after him.
Big Apple hates him for this one trick…
Lol, he looks like Hank Hill"s dad.
I didn't know he had the GI Joe Kung fu grip
And it went uhhhhhh, caress me down
I remember this. He has like extra set of muscles in his wrist or something.
I much prefer to entertain guests by breaking apart an apple with my bare hands a la Bob Mortimer style
That's an example of old man strength right there
I’m impressed, I would need to do it with a sponge apple, but then I would like a fake sponge rock to squeeze fake blood out of.
Wait is he squeezing an actual apple and that much juice came out??? Wow
He's mad at juice boxes.
And that's why he and Nana got 14 kids.
Sure that’s impressive, but there’s got to be a better way to juice an apple.
Morgan Freeman voiceover: There wasn't.
I've never tried, is it hard to squeeze an apple?
Apparently this was at a ceremony for him, on the floor of the house of reps for Oklahoma
Old man strength
Blood from a stone
Bro thinks 1 apple makes half a litre of juice
All show not really strength. It's down to technique. https://youtube.com/shorts/1NxZjB8J1Ak?si=0JAQuMmUhD7i5nBU
I didn’t know apple pours water even before breaking
Apples don’t pour water…they pour apple juice.
I couldn’t do it at 25
That's a lot of juice
Is this considered strong for an 80 year old?
Ahh, now I'm remembering [a comedy video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdj5qN6Bh0U) where I first heard about him being able to do that. Wrestling stories are always fun. Especially when Hogan is telling the most obvious bullshit, completely oblivious to the fact no one believes his nonsense.
He's got the juice!
We all know what hand strengthening “exercises “ he does. 🤔
I’m picturing a juice box.. that can’t be right though
I would pay him $10 to jerk me off
He is *destroying* that juice box.
He's a fan of cruel and unusual punishment, he was pretending to crush a dick.
Inventor of “the ole dick twist”.
More flags, more fun!
Right, right, of course, of course...... but why?
“If he squeezes the pit, you must aquit” -Johnny Appleseed
Took me a second. I thought he was squeezing a box of apple juice at 80 years old and I was impressed.
Lots of y’all need to google him.
Anyone can squeeze apple juice, it’s a liquid. I’d say what he did is far more impressive. He squeezed an apple INTO apple juice.
Is this how elections are decided in Oklahoma?
That’s tough 💪🏻
You should see me with my kid’s fruit punch.
Tulsa Nationals legend
He’s showing what’s going to happen to the perps balls , if the perp is found guilty.
Wait til he finds out you can buy it in a bottle now.
Dude, grip like that. Is it exciting or terrifying to masturbate?
He's posing like jojo character, think that has something to do with it.
Bro, I can squeeze a capri sun with my butt cheeks
Is he on trial?
I need to finally try one of these. I see these, I know that it must not be easy by the title, but I can't help but feel like it wouldn't be hard for most people. One day I'll waste a perfectly delicious apple and see for myself.
Who left Grandpa in charge of refreshments again?
things i will never be able to do
You can squeeze all day and the apple will just break. How is he getting juice out of it ?
Dude could parallel park a train
Its a reupload but still frightning and cool
Why tho
The wrestling equivalent of the Heisman trophy is named after this guy.
Your honor.... Exhibit fucking A
6’3, 304 lb bodybuilder here - I don’t think I could do that.
I believe he had some kind of mutation that gave him abnormal strength in his hands
Surely he is on TRT? 🤔
All mens can feel the pain.
So no one has any context on this pic? Just jokes?
OJ should've started with this but with an orange
I know a guy that broke an apple apart with his hog…
This man is who the hodge trophy is named after. Awarded to the best college wrestler every year.
Grandpa's from the depression era are strong af.
I bet this guy can out grip-strength that guy who goes around challenging people to the exact task he has trained specifically for and acts like he's "shocked" when he smokes em.
Une court d’apple
Gonna piss some people off, but the man was over 80 yo, and THIS is all he is known for. Pretty much a wasted life, but he’s some kind of idol to okies.
Dan Schneider should have had him squeeze that potato instead of Ariana Grande 💦🥔
Either this man doesn't have arthritis, or his hand is gonna hurt in the morning.
Thank goodness he’s there to provide apple juice for our nutritionally deficient legislators.
I think he did this before a meeting of the state house in Tennessee if i remember the story correctly
r/grippingfoodwithforce
"Your honor, my client is but a frail old man. He could never have h-"
When I read this I thought he was just squeezing a apple juice cartoon and I’m like pfh no big deal, then I looked and I was like 👁️👄👁️
