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. Now today early
ten o'clock they're going to announce the Grammy nominations for this year. All right,

a Taylor Swift song. You don't know if that's true. I do.

she's active, she's got, she's beautiful. Oh I thought you.
I thought she was saying yeah, no noos to her too, like she's
like killing him a runway, she's got. 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? I keep
that paper in my backpacket all times laminated? You know, you don't know
that he shaved his head because of this damn song. It's just it's just
fake Land getting excited. Oh my god, he shaved his head. Oh

look, it's don't do it. Don't be one of them. Hey,

is what's going out. I got people in the know. Man, you
don't know anyone so long, don't know anyone I know. I have so
many connections who you don't know anyone that didn't work here skin hmmm, huh
No, my connections go deeper. You seriously got TC. No, I

because I was riding the uncle Ico High set a message Joh, I'm gonna
showed it would now. I kind of hung up my phone after Joey Chus
Nutt and figured you guys could handle the next seventeen weeks. Yeah, but
I lost my Rolodex ten years ago. I haven't loved the effort after we
spend the wheel. You can look at my phone. There's nobody good in
here. Okay, well that nobody nice. They're not nobody that you guys
would want or Yeah, look, TC was great, but that's my level
of celebrity on my phone. I just don't have anybody top my Android.
Context didn't transfer. 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. Is she the girl in the Apple commercial? Yes?
You will hear her commercial? A million times. Okay, I like that
song in that commercial, Yeah, the one for the iPhone. Yeah,
she's great. 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.
She's amazing. I love I love that girl. Foo Fighters number four,
Fighter's number four for the Sad record. Oh okay, that's enough. What's
gonna happen next? Well, we're gonna tell you what's gonna happen in Cowboys
Giants with our predictions. And when I walked in this morning, Danny looked

Giants as we go to the Ghost Pepper Pavilion. That's next on ninety seven.
