Thanks OneBilly, I'll check that out. I tend to pick and choose with Rogan's guests. Did say on another thread a while back but my favourite was when he interviewed Rick Baker the film special effects legend. Absolutely fascinating stuff.

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
As this is the quiz thread I thought I'd just put this here. Funny what you learn. I'm watching a new Joe Rogan interview with Russell Crowe and I had no idea that ex New Zealand cricket Captains Jeff Crowe and the late Martin Crowe are his cousins. Plus watching Russell try and explain cricket and other sports the Americans don't play to Rogan is hillarious. Interesting interview.
