I liked the joe rogan episode with Mel Gibson.

#1066 - Mel Gibson & Dr. Neil Riordan

Mel Gibson took his aging father to an america doctor in panama who harvests umbilical stem cells and it pretty much gave him a new lease on life. They also help with hard to heal injuries

Ever wonder why a miracle doctor from America has to work in Panama? Yeah, it's because he spends a lot of time doing things that don't have much (any) evidence to back them up.

Please don't take your scientific news from Joe Rogan.

Science Vs. podcast has just released a great episode on the kinds of misinformation spread there...

It doesn’t make it any less interesting. His entire show isn’t literally lies. But of course, everything should be taken with a heavy grain of salt. It’s just as fallacious to assume every single thing is false simply because you don’t like or trust a podcast host. It’s hit or miss in my experience.
