FARGO, N.D. –– Didn't get enough of Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura in Playboy? You're in luck – there's more.

Lawrence Grobel is writing a follow-up to the controversial interview Ventura gave for the November issue, using 10,000 words that went unpublished, Grobel said Thursday.

The story could run within two months, Grobel told Fargo radio station KFGO.

In the first story, Ventura called religion a "crutch for weak-minded people" and said the Navy's Tailhook scandal was "much ado about nothing."

Grobel spent nine hours over three days talking with Ventura.
