Wham-Bam Body Slam
This was a fun episode meeting Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who is an
incredibly decent and funny (read: blue jokes) guy. He was really excited about
striking out in Hollywood and clucked a lot about his latest gig,
"Predator." Supiran got a kick out of meeting Ventura, and Brissette was
on the edge of a breakdown trying to keep a straight face as she sprayed whipped
cream over Ventura's mug.

Guest Cast:
