Joe Rogan Doubles Down, Refutes Liver King Natural Claim: “Just Shut The F*** Up”
Joe Rogan is convinced Liver King is on steroids.
In a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan once again doubled down on the claim that popular fitness figure Liver King is on steroids. The bodybuilding personality has been claiming to be natural, but Rogan isn’t convinced at all.
Once known as Brian Johnson, the man now dubbed Liver King fancies himself a follower of the old ways. He follows a lifestyle that harkens back to ancient times and he is extremely dedicated to his fitness journey through natural means. Liver King is claiming that his physique was cultivated over many long years of all-natural arduous training. At least that’s how he tells the story. Joe Rogan on the other hand isn’t quite buying what Liver King is selling.
It appears that the drama between Joe Rogan and Liver King has reached a new level. With Liver King claiming that he’s not on steroids, Rogan appears to be doubling down. The popular podcast host appears fed up with the claims that the bodybuilder is all natural.
Rogan Doubles Down
In a recent podcast episode featuring the highly respected Dr. Andrew Huberman, Joe Rogan once again stated his beliefs on Liver King’s supposed natural status.
“The Liver King thing drives me nuts because that guy is on steroids,” said Joe Rogan. “Just shut the fu** up. I know he’s eating really healthy. It’s clear he’s eating all these animal foods and you know, he’s eating organ meat, which is very rich in nutrients, and that’s true but he’s dodging the main bullet.”
Joe Rogan went on to state that if Liver King is indeed telling the truth that he is a rare being among humans.
“Well, look at him. Do you know how rare it is to have a physique like that and not be on steroids. You would have to be in the 00000.1 percent of the human population. Just rare genetic freaks. I don’t care how much you lift weights, that is a freak physique.”
What To Do?
In truth, we can’t say whether or not Liver King is natty or not. While he may look like he’s taking performance enhancing drugs, the truth of the matter is we don’t have any kind of evidence to support this claim. Genetics certainly can get you most of the way there, as well as some consistent hard work. Rather than getting offended or angry, if Liver King actually is natural, he should take it as a compliment.
Perhaps the ultimate solution for this entire endeavor is if liver King is invited onto the Joe Rogan podcast. In that way, liver King and Rogan can have a clear cut discussion and we could perhaps get a definitive answer to whether or not the polarizing fitness figure is telling the truth about his natural status.

Joe Rogan Apologizes For Past Racial Comments; Spotify Removes Dozens of Episodes
Joe Rogan finds himself in hot water.
Joe Rogan is under fire after past racial comments have surfaced. The popular podcaster is being brought to task for using the N-Word in past episodes of his podcast. As a result Spotify has removed dozens of episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast from their service.
It appears that the past can catch up to each and every one of us. In the case of comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan, the past has come roaring back and at the most inopportune time. Rogan’s controversial opinions on the global health issue that’s plagued the world for over two years now has seen him become public enemy number one. Now these past comments of Rogan have added fuel to the fire for the movement to cancel the comedian.
Attempt at Atonement
Such a controversy isn’t one that Joe Rogan can ignore. As such it appears that the comedian has decided to address the issue on his own terms. Rather than put out a written statement through a publicist or mouthpiece, Rogan decided to make a video touching on his past.
There’s been a lot of shit from the old episodes of the podcast that I wish I hadn’t said, or had said differently. This is my take on the worst of it.
While he may be apologetic and filled with regret, it doesn’t change the fact that he said what he said. Unfortunately many who have an unchecked ego, power, and influence beyond belief can find themselves power tripping. Joe Rogan does appear sincere in his apology, but his past comments show a deep level of arrogance and ignorance on the subject of race in this country. What is a bright spot however is that Rogan acknowledged this point as well.
Does all this mean that Joe Rogan should be canceled? That’s up to public opinion and the market to decide. But it is a lesson for anyone who believes that what they’ve done in the past won’t have an effect on their present standing.
Joe Rogan may not be a racist, but his use of controversial language was clearly irresponsible. While this video statement is a decent first step, he’ll have to continue to prove himself with his actions moving forward.
