One thing that can safely be said about John Kasich is that he likes to say really weird stuff. His "hot" wife, his belief that he's "the prince of light," his plans as president to reunite Pink Floyd? He mind is ... definitely hard to predict. 

Kasich's habit for bizarre oration first popped onto the national radar in 2012, when he delivered a rambling state of the state address that Business Insider called "the craziest political speech of the year." That address included a now infamous imitation of a person with Parkinsons. Kasich also defended his expansion of welfare benefits by arguing the poor and disabled have God as their lobbyist -- "the most powerful lobbyist in the world."

Since then, his affinity for head-scratching commentary has only become more pronounced. 

Asked during a townhall event this year what he plans to do with NASA, Kasich answered in song (David Bowie, to be precise). He told CNN that should he become president, he'll strive to re-unite Pink Floyd.

To witness some of Kasich's most bizarre behavior, enjoy the highlight reel above.
