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 reddit.comnewsweek.com+15houstonchronicle.com+15expressnews.com+15. Rogan, alarmed by the threats, contacted Austin police, describing Johnson as “significantly unstable” and referencing concerns of a “significant drug issue” ksat.com+10the-independent.com+10nypost.com+10.

Johnson was arrested at the Four Seasons Hotel and booked on a Class B misdemeanor for making terroristic threats nypost.com+12mmafighting.com+12tmz.com+12. 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 vulture.com+8tmz.com+8houstonchronicle.com+8.

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 expressnews.com+14the-independent.com+14nypost.com+14. 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 reddit.com+7thedailybeast.com+7en.wikipedia.org+7.

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.
