Joe Rogan Threat Sparks Arrest of Liver King in Texas

A Joe Rogan threat sparks the arrest of the Liver King in Austin, Texas. Welp, those are words I never thought I would type in that order, but here we are.😬

So, I'm going to assume you, the reader, know who Joe Rogan is since he has the number one platform on the planet with his podcast. Well, I guess I just explained who he is. Regardless, his opinions get heard by millions of people each week. At one point, he had some opinions about the Liver King's claims that you can get a physique like this...

... without steroids.

So that's a picture of Mr. King. He claims that if you eat liver and other animal organs raw, along with working out, then you can have a body like his. Mr. Rogan claimed that there is no way that is true. So, as you can imagine, the Liver King is upset. Allegedly upset enough to travel to Austin, where Joe lives, and threaten him.  Authorities say the man, whose real name is Brian Johnson, drove to Austin with the intent of confronting Rogan, but instead ended up in police custody.
