Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - May 23, 2017

I'm a Poll Man:

With the news (real or not) that DWAYNE "The Rock" JOHNSON might be running for President, thanks to his "announcement" on this past weekend's "Saturday Night Live," polling has already begun about his chances against DONALD TRUMP.
In fact, according to Public Policy Polling, "We looked at 'The Rock's' prospects if he were to run for President as a Democrat. 36-percent of voters see Johnson favorably to 13-percent with a negative view of him, although 50-percent of voters have no opinion about him either way. Both Democrats (split 38/15 percent) and Republicans (split 31/17 percent) see him positively. Johnson would lead Trump [by five points] 42/37 percent in a prospective contest, and wins over 15-percent of people who supported Trump last fall."

Cash falls outta armored car dep't:

That cheap costume jewelry you own might be worth a fortune.
A spokesperson for Sotheby's auction house says someone that paid $15-dollars for a piece of costume jewelry 30-years ago just found out that it's worth a half-million dollars. The unidentified buyer picked up the sparkly item at a flea market in 1987 but had no clue it was actually a 26-point-27 carat white diamond. The owner plans to auction it off next month. (Still)

The 411:

The cutest thing you'll see on social media this week is a pictorial of twins named MARIA and PAULINA. The shots are Pinterest-perfect, feature the ladies in coordinating outfits and a twice-in-a-lifetime occurrence 'cuz they just turned 100-years-old!Photographer CAMILA LIMA reached out to the sisters in their native Brazil, tells GoodHousekeeping.com that they were "all excited" about the opportunity and put their best clothes on for the photo shoot.
Both seniors have a huge family --Paulina has six children, 19 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, while Maria has five kids, 12 grandkids and seven great grandbabies. Like lots of twinsies, they're most grateful for one another. (Lee)

Hook It Up:

My friend RON STEVENS (of Stevens & Grdnic and A-List Comedy fame) is doing a documentary about radio broadcasting and looking for video footage of DJs --either solo or a team-- on the air in segments of 30 seconds toone minute in length. You can do it on an iPhone provided you hold it sideways, because the video will be used in a theatre. Audio is not necessary, but might be used if it's good quality. Some suggestions:
--Don't look at the camera
--Don't worry about including yourself turning the camera on and off if it's a video selfie.
--If you can get a professional to come in and shoot something, all the better!
--It's okay to show your call letters or station logo.

Here is the link to where stations can UPLOAD their videos: https://www.dropbox.com/request/uh5Fl2VePe1x25MIn3UM

Also, Ron says: I will need each person in the videos to sign a RELEASE.
--If you're the one who shot the video, sign this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tbll8ebu7wstn0s/KSHE%2050%20Video%20Release.pdf?dl=0
--If you didn't shoot the video, but you're in it, sign this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9pda6jfor8355c9/KSHE%20Doc%20Consent%20Form.pdf?dl=0

Questions? (Including, "Did you get my video?! Are you going to use it?! When will it be out? Where can I see it? How do I get an agent? Is it expensive to live in Los Angeles?") they can reach me at ron@onstl.com.
