I had a fun time (as always) talking to former WWE wrestling superstar and former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. I had him on the show about six months ago for the hour, and he was everything you would expect...outspoken and opinionated about everything from steroids in sports to the current Presidential campaign.Certainly a lot has happened since our last visit, so I contacted him again recently about a return visit, and he was happy to come back on the show. The only thing was he could only do about ten minutes and it had to be at 4 p.m. which is when we have ABC network news followed by our local news. I almost had to turn it down (would hate to turn down such a great guest and personality as Jesse Ventura), but Jim Lewis offered to fill-in for me during the news. I had to record the conversation because it was during news, but let me tell you, he didn't disappoint. I'm anxious to air the interview sometime next week. He sure has definite opinions, many of which are told in his new book "Don't Start The Revolution Without Me." I'll keep you posted as to the air date. Thanks to Jim for covering for me for about 15 minutes so we could do the interview.
