Joe Rogan has rarely shied away from interviewing anyone on his podcast, even in the face of controversy and uproar. Rogan has spoken to politicians, controversial social media stars, musicians and athletes over the last several years, but he’s drawing a line in the sand with one potential guest. During an episode of the show, Rogan explained why he wouldn’t have Brian “Liver King” Johnson on the JRE. “He was trying really hard to get on the podcast, and he’s trying really hard to get on now,” Rogan said, pointing to two different instances where he was approached by someone representing Johnson while covering a UFC event in Las Vegas. “He contacted a few friends of mine. For what? You ran a con game and you got busted,” Rogan said about Johnson. “It’s unfortunate that you feel terrible, I’m sorry you feel bad cause that’s what happens when you get caught lying.” Johnson rose to prominence as a content creator on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. He earned the nickname “Liver King” for his unorthodox diet that he refers to as “ancestral living.” He is known for his large muscular appearance, an appearance he once attributed to a strict workout regimen and the aforementioned diet of raw organs, animal liver, fish, bull testicles and raw meat in lieu of processed foods. In 2022, Johnson admitted to using steroids after documents leaked showing that he spent around $11,000 per month on performance-enhancing drugs. He was sued in New York for $25 million, and reached a settlement after the lawsuit was dismissed. Johnson was arrested last week for threatening Rogan, saying that he wanted to fight him in a series of videos posted to social media. “Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out. My name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you,” Johnson said in one of the videos. “I have no training in jiu-jitsu; you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules. I’ll come to you, whenever you’re ready.” Johnson traveled to Austin, Texas where Rogan lives and was arrested last Tuesday. He was charged with making terroristic threats ater directly threatening Rogan in the Instagram videos.
