Episode notes

When Ventura was governor of Minnesota, he signed a three year contract with MSNBC. He says the network wouldn't put him on TV because he opposed the invasion of Iraq. When they hired Phil Donahue to do his daytime show at night, "Ventura" got pulled off the air.

Jesse Ventura is the former governor of Minnesota, professional wrestler and political commentator. Theo talks with Jesse about his time with the military, being a security guard for the Rolling Stones, conspiracy theories, and his time as the Minnesota governor.
