Joe Rogan 'refused' podcast guest who begged to be on show after he got 'caught lying through his teeth'

Joe Rogan has previously opened up on the person who "tried real hard" to get on his podcast after he was "caught lying" following a leaked email.

Back in 2022, the Liver King, whose real name is Brian Johnson, confessed to using steroids while claiming his online persona was an "experiment".

After previously stating that his unconventional diet of eating raw foods while avoiding everything processed was the secret to his shredded physique, leaked emails showed that he had been taking unnatural products in order to maintain his impressive physique.

“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.”

In the past, Joe Rogan has claimed that Johnson’s regime and lifestyle was all a "gimmick" and accused him of putting not-so-natural products in his body, in stark contrast to what the Liver King promotes.

And on a podcast episode with Derek from the YouTube channel More Plates More Dates, who initially leaked the emails, Rogan discussed the Liver King.

"There is no way you can look like that, in your 40's... he's preposterously jacked," Rogan said on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast with Derek Fitness. "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."

Derek went on accuse Johnson of "lying through his teeth" as they discussed the topic.

"There's too many polar extremes to have just have a unique marketing spin that was highly viral, in my opinion. 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."

Rogan then detailed what happened when he bumped into the Liver King at one of Canelo Alvarez's fights.

“He was front row at one of my shows in Vegas at the MGM,” Rogan said on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast. “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—king — 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.”
