Knox County, Tennessee Mayor Glenn "Kane" Jacobs joins the show to discuss his unusual journey from being a WWE wrestling superstar to libertarian-Republican elected official.

We discuss the similarities between professional wrestling and politics and how the mayor came to hold libertarian political views and support free-market economics. What's the proper role of loyal government and states' rights? What has he been able to accomplish as mayor? We wrap up with his food take on pineapple on pizza.
