The C-Show Podcast

Jared’s wearing a walking boot and Charlie’s congested, but stick through for a “Best of Jesse Ventura;” from his origins as a Navy Frogman/SEAL, to wrestling in Verne’s AWA and Vince’s WWF, to the halls of Power across Minnesota, to his status as an elder statesman in the variety like your Uncle that grabs you at a barbecue and shares his thoughts about the JFK assassination.
