452 JRE Review of LIVER KING IN AUSTIN!
Great video by Dr. Todd Grande For more Rogan exclusives support us on patreon.com/JREReview This week on the show, we unpack the surreal situation unfolding in Austin: fitness influencer Brian “Liver King” Johnson was arrested on June 24, 2025, after flying into the city wearing his signature wolf headdress and igniting a series of bizarre Instagram rants in which he challenged Joe Rogan to a fight—even brandishing what appeared to be firearms . Rogan, alarmed by the threats, contacted Austin police, describing Johnson as “significantly unstable” and referencing concerns of a “significant drug issue” . Johnson was arrested at the Four Seasons Hotel and booked on a Class B misdemeanor for making terroristic threats . The Travis County judge set bond at $20,000, along with strict release conditions: no contact with Rogan or his family, a 200‑yard restraining order, no firearms, and a mandated mental health evaluation within one week . Since his release, Johnson has resumed posting rambling videos—some hinting he might be targeting “some guy” rather than Rogan—but he continues to post disturbing and erratic content from Austin . Known for promoting a raw-organ “ancestral” lifestyle, Johnson was already mired in controversy after admitting in 2022 that his hulking physique was maintained via $11,000/month steroids and HGH—a sharp contrast to his "natural" image . In this episode we’ll explore: The timeline leading up to Johnson’s shocking arrival in Austin and heated Instagram monologues. The role Rogan played in alerting authorities and voicing concern. The potential mental health and substance abuse issues fueling Johnson’s breakdown. What this all means for his public persona, supplement empire, and the broader conversation around influencer culture. Bottom line: We sincerely hope Brian “Liver King” Johnson finds the help he desperately needs. Whatever drove him to this brink, it’s clear this isn’t just a publicity stunt—it’s a cry for help. Our wish is for his recovery, clarity, and that he finds the support necessary to get well.
