He recently had a pretty great one with Jocko Willink, who's an ex Navy Seal.

Rogan is positively apologetic in episode #725 posted above, which is ridiculous and unforgivable. The whole podcast is an indulgence in misinformation and conspiracy theory. Rogan enthusiastically and uncritically endorses his guests' junk science, and then expresses righteous indignation at Hancock's tirades against the poisonous "dogma" of mainstream archaeology and history. The end of the podcast is hilarious, as all three of them weary themselves with self-congratulatory back-pats about the benefits of psychedelic drugs, and express incredulity at the dunderheaded academy who refuses to use them in their research.
