seven seven one. There's a double remote today and Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen, The Benskin Show and The Speakeasy ten am to six pm Andrews American Pizza Kitchen in Plano for the Freaking the Weekend series. Come out and see the Gang. So the scuttle Button. Now, we'll start with Dwayne the Rock Johnson Why because I didn't really want to do anything local today based off what was tickling my fancy and the Rock. There's a new podcast for Trevor Noah,
former daily show host, called What What Now? And he had The Rock on his first episode, and The Rock basically said that political parties were calling him and asking, hey, man, I want to run. Do you
want to run? And I'm wondering, he said, parties. Now I'm wondering if he's doing that to be safe, because the smart play is to not lean anywhere politically and stay down the middle, so he said, political parties, He said, at the end of the year in twenty two, I got a visit from the parties asking me if I was going to run
and if I could run. It was one after the other, and they brought up a pole and there was a poll that was put out in twenty twenty two and the poll was wild, said forty six percent of US adults would support the rock if you ran for isn't it? Which would be higher than the approval rating. How many it's just a pole sample polls, Yeah, I mean poles. He can't tell you a lot most of the time, but for politic that is used heavily. And it's I mean for him
to say that parties did contact him though without being specific. I mean parties could be one Republican or one Democrat, you know, giving him a call and be like, hey, you're gonna run. What do you think you say? He doesn't want to do it, but he's not going to shut the door, you know down the road. What if the Rock ran as an independent next year, Bam, I don't think you could win as an
independent in this day and age. Personally, he would have to choose a do you not hear me say, we're talking about the Rock, Kevin. So here's how you'd have to run. He won an I quit match against Mankind. He would have to run as a Republican to win because the Democrat will be running again and he's your current president, right, I mean like eighty five percent? Yes, yeah, And by the way, if Trump was president now, the Rock would run as a Democrat. That's why I
thought it was interesting. But the fact that McConaughey was kicking it around with him, it felt like it was more than headlines. But you could never hear him answer any type of question about policy. When of these guys runs, they're never answering questions about policy. It's always it's very wrestling. It's the world we live in. So it makes the most sense to me to give Mark Cuban credit for kicking around running for president over the last decade.
At least he was actually talking about relevant policy. Yeah, I think he's an expert on a handful of things that would help him. He probably reads a lot. Oh yeah, but then you have to just pretend to also know about all the other stuff, Like, I don't know that Mark Cuban is ready to rumble on foreign policy. Yeah, you know, No,
for sure. I think Mark Cuban is an incredibly intelligent man that absorbs a lot of information and has a pretty deep analytical mind, and probably knows, in all likelihood knows more about things that would be of concern foreign policy than we might give him credit for. Yeah. Yeah, but I don't know if on the level to justifiably be the president of the United States, does the President of the United States really know much about vocal exactly outside of the
briefing he gets every morning. Just the figurehead now that you focus your ir on while all the other stuff happens underneath. Yes, him, and you scream and you know that person either side. I hate it. I think it's impossible for one man being the president, to have hands on deep knowledge of everything that is going on in the world. That's why he's got such
expansive staff that specialize in these things. Yes, and then those things are fueled by opinion probably, And when he gets that briefing on his desk every morning, whatever, fifteen pages to go through, it's all okay, and he's just reading bullet points for he's receiving talking points every day. It's a matter are you likable. If people like you, you can be president.
If enough people like you. It has very little to do with your right as long as you could answer enough questions and not sound like a complete moron, which I don't know if either candidate can not not experience though as being a by the way, not that being a politician is a good thing, but experience of being a politician for twenty thirty forty years, because that's what we had always seen and Trump changed everything. So it come in. The
Rock gets fascinating to me. The name that always comes up with want it's a celebrity that could run for president. It's always the Rock. It's been the Rock for almost ten years. Yeah, and it's like, why is it him? Why is he the one? Well? I think it's because, yeah, I think most everyone likes the Rocks. Yeah, President Rock. Right. It's wild to me because when I was twelve watching wrestling,
he was a little bit of a villain for a little bit. Yeah, not everyone liked the Rock, not when he was on his great heel runs with the Nation of Domination, given the people's elbow to mankind. I wonder how you would do straight up or what if Biden didn't run again or god forbid something, you know, probably for the best, I mean, did ship the Rock in there, and he's like, I got a good team. Everyone, they know what they're doing. Me. You just gotta like
me and someone that you sort of trust. Yeah, I think he would win, but he couldn't win as an independent, right just because the straight take voting and get we've talked about. Probably not, and he would probably annihilate Joe Biden, right because anytime you have a third party that I don't know, I mean, I feel like Trump and Biden too is going to be very close, and that is common a year away that is coming. Well, you think we'll hear anything about that? Oh God, I think
last I don't know whatever. Well, no, it's fine. Well, I think last week surprised some people that uh, Democrats did fairly well better than expected in a time when you know, no one's really screaming we love Joe Biden. Yay, yay, Joe Biden. And it was just like that last election. It's not like anyone really loved Joe Biden, but they did it, you know, because they didn't like the alternative. But we throw the damn people's champ in there. Look, I think Trump's I always
with the cowboys. You got chaos in sixteen bro, I want yeah, okay, I don't want camps. Cancel the chaos. Have you vote for chaos Novo? I think he's gonna win. Yeah, you wouldn't surprise me. I mean, there's also things that could happen in our economics in the next year that could be blamed on the left and that could really help. All Right, everything gets blamed on whoever's there exactly. You kind of clean up stuff and then it's like, well it is kind of on you.
The sooner you realize that when it comes to that, nothing matters. Man. It's great to vote for things that are of real interest that touch you. Voting for something that alleviates your property tax bill, reading up on that, and voting on those those little local elections mids and stuff like that. Those things are what really matters. But who the actual voting for your president, I mean, and then hating just that president like they're the ones.
Your job is to just stand up there and take the heat for everything that all your underlings in whichever party are in are actually doing. I guess who can take the heat the rock? Where did it start? It started with Arnold and then Jesse Jesse Ventura was governor of Minnesota. Yeah, I think that was before Arnold. Yeah was it? I think Jesse Ventura was before Arnold. Arnold's like tis five, right, Jesse. I don't know. I thought they I thought it was Arnold to the internet is when Arnold became
the governator. As the governator, Yeah, California. The muscle people we've had too, I guess successful campaigns were muscle people who had a lot of celebs, and I think celebs tend to be Republican side. I think, I mean Ronald Reagan being the YEP, what the main big movie star the YEP. I think that's changed over the last twenty years. Well what what a celebrity. Jesse was as differ. I think he was a demy, but Ronold ran as a Republican. Ronald's a Republican. I guess you have
al Franken. That was well, that was the fairly that profile. DEMI if but Conaughey ran here, it was like he would almost need to run. Yeah, you can't run as an independent win. No, you can't. You're just gonna split the votes. Yeah, you just can't. You can't. They can't happen. Fred Thompson remember him Law and Order vaguely? Yeah, he was a he was a fairly long sitting Steve Archer. Yeah,
that's true. Would I mean, it's just a mayor. But I don't think it really matters what party you choose if you're a celebrity, right, does it? Well? I don't know. I just think there's more that we're Al Frankins, Yeah, I just said him. Oh and Ventura was governor of Minnesota ninety nine to oh three, So he broke the seal on muscle people running for office. When John Cena, his name gets tossed in these conversations too sometimes, Okay, pair them up. Seen on the
Rock. You guys wanna try to kick this ass. This is a steroid fuel action Domes of America. That's way better than we'll put a boot in your ass. Yeah, you actually have presidents that could whoop your ass. But don't you need a female? Vice? Now? Doesn't that they've already tried that. I mean, is China still alive? No, Chine the wrestler China? Are you talking about a female that? Okay, talking about the eighth Wonder of the World China? No, and she's not alive rest
in peace? What about zena warrior princess Lucy Lawless? But he'd be a great ves So when you said female, and because I'm a I'm a jerk, I immediately thought you said, don't you need a female now? I was thinking about you like sexualizing. Yeah, they did that with Sarah Payne. I was actually demanding, I need a female now, like right the second, can someone find me a female? He was picturing Sable? Ye
whoever was the one in Playboy? Sable was the biggest one? Who is married to brock Lesner Now in real life that you don't know brock Lesnar. I mean he could be a commentator on MSNBC, or he could be a professional wrestler. I don't know, really, I'm brock Lessener here live from the Guyzer strip. Yeah, I mean it sounds like a guy that could do that. I find that fascinating. He's a he was a you know, he's a wrestler, but he was the UFC Champion of the World too.
He played in the not in the NFL, but he tried off the NFL. I don't know, he's just it's just like you know who John Cena is. I would think brock Lesner almost falls into that category of just everyone knows who he is, but probably not. And I'm not the most popular thing in America is football. How hasn't a footballer done this? Yeah, it's the most popular thing. The Rock's wasting his time doing XFL stuff.
I think The Rock's probably not as smart as he no looks, and he comes off if the Rock. I mean, he's good on the mic and he's he's an intelligent guy, no doubt, but I think he and maybe even Mark Cuban Twox center like, I ain't going to get exposed and all this. I'm just like, it's more fun to just sit back and have people yell, hey, he'd be a good president. Run rather than
running and being like, I don't know who wants that job. No one, No one wants a job besides the two people who are going to be running for it. Okay, But if the Rock was elected president, do y'all realize it would be the first American president I've ever had whose bare ass you would see. You've seen his bere ass railing a chick on HBO's Ballers. Okay, that's like you could take from a TV show. Railing has
happened, and he's his whole asses showing. I'm saying that would be like here's the president the minute that he announced he was running Trump, that image would go around. Trump broke the shattered the lines for anything that from your past or anything inappropriate forever and before that. You don't remember the famous George H. W. Bush sex tape. I don't hw oh man. I mean time to dust off the BCR if that thing's out there, can remember
the Gerald Ford sex films. All right, that's enough politicians down there like an iguana on the loose and walks a hatchet eaton policy. Jeff, it's called iguana town. KT worked three days to get him on. Are shaming some Oklahoma news guy? Yeah, emailing you need me, you need me in all caps. That's Mike and Danny and I'm Kevin.

They signed the papers that said as long as we're odd to bang other people, we can definitely be a thing. I don't think that was Is that the celebrity code?

Top four album Vegas Odds here would be number one.
You're as Taylor Swift's Midnights, Telly Sizza Sos, which has three really good chart topping bangers on it, Olivia Rigo's Gut, which I find to be a good album.

The shot her video iPhone fifteen smash windows and the hoar and stuff. Kids. So I got into my car and I got into my
car and I got into my car. Yeah, Okay, maybe I shouldn't like it and put it like that, And the course of the song is just copying a Taylor Swift song. Olivia Rodrigo is the nation's best plagiarist.
