Habib is very impressive - would be a much better leader than Tice.
Episodes like this (former comedian interview comedian about the art and/or business of comedy) are why I stopped listening to Rogan some years ago. Combine this with the whole Christ is king, thing and I have to say that recently I am not listening to the end of most episodes.
This is a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ discussion between Dr. Clare Craig and Nick Dickson. It is informative and depressing in parts but helps to explain complex medical issues in an easy to understand way. The final 10 minutes provides perhaps a glimmer of hope that there are some signs of a kick back in attitudes towards the disgraceful attitudes from many in positions of power, who have frequently not been honest with the public.
Your best yet.
A former stand up comic talks to another stand up comic. This reminds me of why I don't listen to Rogan (is that how it is spelled?). Andrew Lawrence is very funny but put him in a situation like this, he is dull.
