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

Preaching his ‘ancestral lifestyle’ Johnson claimed that his absurdly jacked physique was the results of consuming giant quantities of uncooked unprocessed organs and meat that targeted on a day by day consumption of liver.
However as quick as his rise got here, so too did his downfall.
“I’m here now to set the record straight,” Johnson stated. “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).
After all, that did little to mitigate the injury, which included a $25 million class-action lawsuit filed in New York alleging that Johnson deceptively touted a primal life-style to advertise his ancestral dietary supplements.
Throughout an episode of his JRE podcast with visitor Derek Munro of the YouTube channel Extra Plates Extra 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 stated. “Now that we all know he is filled with s***… we’re speaking in regards to the Liver King, by the best way. Should you don’t know who the Liver King is, he’s a man who walks round all over the place with no shirt on. I’ve seen him in Vegas with no shirt on. Huge bushy beard. He’s tremendous 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 debate the subject.
“There’s too many polar extremes to have just have a unique marketing spin that was highly viral, in my opinion,” Munro added. “Most individuals may see by way of it however on the similar time, numerous huge names even reached out to me after that video got here out. This man, actually 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.”

He was attempting actual exhausting to get on the podcast and he’s been attempting actually exhausting to get on now. He contacted a number of associates of mine and a few of them, like Bert Kreischer, had him on their present. For what? Say that [apology] extra? Like come on, that is dumb, man. This can be a f*cking — you ran a con sport and you bought 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.”
