Joe Rogan Refused to Host Liver King After Steroid Scandal: 'Caught Lying Through His Teeth'

Joe Rogan has no interest in hosting Liver King on his podcast.

Just two short years ago, Brian Johnson — best known by his online alias as Liver King — was all the rage on social media. Preaching his ‘ancestral lifestyle’ Johnson claimed that his absurdly jacked physique was the result of eating large amounts of raw unprocessed organs and meat that focused on a daily intake of liver.

But as fast as his rise came, so too did his downfall.

In 2022, a series of private emails were leaked, revealing that Johnson had been spending more than $11,000 per month on anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs to try and keep up with the facade. Once he was busted, Johnson released a video on YouTube and offered a half-hearted apology for misleading his millions of followers.

“I’m here now to set the record straight,” Johnson said. “Yes, I’ve done steroids, and yes, I’m on steroids, monitored and managed by a trained hormone clinician. Liver King, the public figure, was an experiment to spread the message” (h/t SportBible).

Of course, that did little to mitigate the damage, which included a $25 million class-action lawsuit filed in New York alleging that Johnson deceptively touted a primal lifestyle to promote his ancestral supplements.

During an episode of his JRE podcast with guest Derek Munro of the YouTube channel More Plates More Dates, Rogan roasted Johnson over his preposterous claims.

“There is no way you can look like that, in your 40s… he’s preposterously jacked,” Rogan said. “Now that we know he is full of s***… we are talking about the Liver King, by the way. If you don’t know who the Liver King is, he’s a guy who walks around everywhere with no shirt on. I’ve seen him in Vegas with no shirt on. Big bushy beard. He is super jacked.

“He was telling people that he gets that away by sunning his balls… he literally lays down with his a*****e staring at the sun and eats raw liver and just lifts like a maniac, and that’s how he’s so jacked. It’s preposterous.”

Munro went on to accuse Johnson of “lying through his teeth” as they continued to discuss the topic.

“There’s too many polar extremes to have just have a unique marketing spin that was highly viral, in my opinion,” Munro added. “Most people could see through it but at the same time, lots of big names even reached out to me after that video came out. This guy, literally to my face, would say, ‘I am natural’.

“A lot of people will take a guy’s word when it’s a private conversation and when he’s straight up telling you in person…he was just lying through his teeth seemingly.”

Joe Rogan bumped into liver king at a canelo alvarez fight

Rogan later revealed that he bumped into Johnson while attending a Canelo Alvarez fight.

“He was front row at one of my shows in Vegas at the MGM,” Rogan said. “Then I saw him again at the [Saul] Canelo [Alvarez] fight. He was trying real hard to get on the podcast and he’s been trying really hard to get on now. He contacted a few friends of mine and some of them, like Bert Kreischer, had him on their show. For what? Say that [apology] more? Like come on, this is dumb, man. This is a f*cking — you ran a con game and you got busted.

“It’s unfortunate that you feel terrible, I’m sorry you feel bad cause that’s just what happens when you get caught lying. But you didn’t have to lie.”

Despite being exposed as a fraud, Johnson still has 2.8 million followers on Instagram, 6.1 million followers on TikTok, and more than 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube.

Wladimir Klitschko Fires Back at Joe Rogan for ‘Repeating Russian Propaganda’

Wladimir Klitschko Fires Back at Joe Rogan for ‘Repeating Russian Propaganda’

Legendary pugilist Wladimir Klitschko accused Joe Rogan of “repeating Russian propaganda” while commenting on the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The longtime UFC color commentary recently accused U.S. President Joe Biden and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky of trying to “start World War III.” Rogan’s comments came not long after the White House agreed to let Ukraine use US-made missiles against Vladimir Putin’s forces.

“Zelensky says Putin is terrified. F*ck you, man… f*ck you, people. You people are about to start World War III,’ Rogan said before turning on the 82-year-old Biden. “Maybe that would be a good thing we would like to avoid from a dying former president.”

“How are you allowed to do that when you’re on your way out? There should be some sort of pause for significant actions that could potentially start World War III.”

Wladimir Klitschko Snaps back at Joe Rogan

Klitschko targeted the popular podcaster, saying he “listened” to his latest episode and decided to post a video letting Rogan know that he “disagrees” with his comments.

Joe Rogan, I listened to your latest podcast. I am sending you this video to let you know that I disagree,” Klitschko began in a video on X. You talk about these American weapons being sent to Ukraine, which you believe will lead to the third World War. So, let me tell you that you’re repeating Russian propaganda — Putin’s Russia is in trouble. So they want to scare you and people like you. 

‘His war was supposed to last three days, it has lasted three years thanks to the heroism and sacrifice of us Ukrainians. So you’re using the only weapon that Putin really intends to use: propaganda and this weapon really weakens our democracies. Putin’s Russia wants to destroy Ukraine quietly, they want America to stay quiet — not great. A great America is not an America that abandons countries that defend freedom with their lives” (h/t DailyMail).

Klitschko also offered to be a guest on Rogan’s JRE podcast so that they could “discuss (these points) like free men.”

After winning an Olympic gold medal at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, Klitschko went on to become one of boxing’s most accomplished heavyweights, competing for more than 20 years and holding the unified heavyweight world championship between 2008 and 2015.

He retired from the sport in 2017 after suffering back-to-back losses against Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. He retired with a record of 64-5 with 53 of his wins coming way way of knockout.

Joe Rogan Breaks Down Conor McGregor’s Self-Destructive Spiral on JRE

Joe Rogan and Conor McGregor’s Self-Destruction

UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan explained the self-destructive tendencies of Conor McGregor, former two-division UFC star. Ireland’s McGregor was once the hottest athlete in the sport but has spent much of the last decade in hot water.

Joe Rogan and Conor McGregor’s Self-Destruction

With two stunning knockouts, ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor picked up two UFC titles and changed the sport of MMA. Being the biggest name in the sport’s history, McGregor then crossed over to boxing to face all-time great Floyd Mayweather. Shortly after, he had a blockbuster UFC title match against Khabib Nurmagomedov. Additionally, the Irish-born athlete would make millions with his whiskey and beer brands.

But, Conor McGregor could stay out of the news or stay clean. He has been arrested multiple times and caused of sexual assault and recently was found guilty of rape in Dublin stemming from 2018, the woman involved had her house broken into by masked assailants after the accusations went public. Multiple women have accused Mcgregor of sexual assault but would later drop the cases. In a 2022 incident, he was accused of assaulting a woman at a pub during his birthday celebration. In 2019, he struck an elderly man in a pub. Additionally, he has admitted to cocaine usage.

Speaking to actor Josh Brolin, Joe Rogan weighed in on Conor McGregor and said:

“Conor self-destructed in a lot of ways is because of money. He took that fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., made a ton of money off that and then took a long time before he came back to MMA. He’s just not been the same guy since. It’s money, it’s a lot of partying. but it’s the same kind of thing. It’s just wild. But when Conor was in his prime, he was a f*ing assassin.”

Herb Dean vs. Joe Rogan? Veteran Referee Breaks Down His Controversial UFC 306 Decisions

Tenured referee Herb Dean wants to have a sit-down conversation with Joe Rogan and the rest of the UFC 306 broadcast team.

In September, Dean saw a significant amount of criticism flung his way during UFC 306’s headliner between Merab Dvalishvili and ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley. During the later rounds, Dean repeatedly warned Dvalishvili to keep working and stay busy while deploying his grappling-heavy attack. Rogan called Dean’s tactics “insane” and was quite critical of his performance in the championship rounds.

Herb Dean

Appearing on the JAXXON podcast with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Dean attempted to address the criticism from Rogan and Co. and revealed how he first became aware of their negative comments.

“I’m not sure if I totally understand that myself,” Dean said. “I think the analysts who started it — and I don’t want to be critiquing those guys, or have an adversarial relationship because, first of all, they say a lot of good things about me, and they have over the years.

“I would like to talk to them… the commentators. I can tell it was the commentators before I even heard that it was because on social media, I was getting a lot of the same thing. … I see a bunch of grown men saying somebody else’s opinion, must’ve been something the analysts said, and it was” (h/t MMA Fighting).

Dvalishvili ultimately came out on top, scoring a unanimous decision victory over O’Malley to claim the bantamweight world title. Before that, Dean was part of a few other odd moments during the 25-minute affair, including an instance where he had to discourage ‘The Machine’ from speaking to O’Malley’s coach Tim Welch in the opening seconds. Dean was also forced to tell Dvalishvili to stop “kissing” his opponent during a grappling exchange.

However, it was Rogan’s issue with Dean’s calls to “keep working” that generated a majority of the negative attention on online.

“They’re saying that I shouldn’t be telling the guys to work,” Dean explained. “This is something I’ve always done. Our sport, there’s rules that are there for safety. There’s rules that are there for fairness, we have rules that are there to build our sport. To make our sport what it’s supposed to be. To make our sport more exciting. …

“Most of the coaches can say my pre-fight instructions with me because I say the same thing. I tell them about things we have problems with. Most of them know the rules… but to this stuff, two things that are the most important things before I intervene: The biggest intervention is when I’m going to start your fight. So you always hear me say, ‘Fight back. Fight back.’ That lets them know so it’s not a surprise to them. …

“The next thing I’m going to say is, I’m going to say ‘work.’ And that means that I’m about to take your position away. Because in this sport we have position, and a position can lead to a fight being finished, but when I say ‘work,’ that means what I’m looking for is not just busy work, I’m looking for effort to finish the fight.

“Instead a bunch of [tapping] punches, where you could do a full five-minute round with this and not change, I’m expecting you to posture, throw bigger shots. Instead of trying to hold on, I’m expending you to spend energy advancing position, passing guard, or if you’re up against the fence, putting energy into a takedown. Something that’s going to bring the fight to a conclusion.”

Herb Dean

Simply put, if a fighter is using their dominant position to ride out the clock, Dean is going to step in and issue a warning or force a standup to make the sport more exciting for fans.

“If you have a superior position, if you’re not using it to win the fight, you’re using it to hide from your opponent to burn time,” Dean said. “That’s not what we want our sport to look like, I don’t think.”

And then I had Mike on one time, and the first time I had him on, Mike was not training at all, and he said he can’t work out at all because it ignites his ego, and he just smokes a lot of weed, and we had a great conversation, it was real fun.
