Oh god. Here's something I didn't expect to be talking about today. Brian Johnson, aka the Liver King, has just been arrested for making terroristic threats to none other than Joe Rogan. Um, okay. Let's unpack that. Now, this comes after he spent the last 5 days making these bizarre videos basically out of nowhere, calling out Joe Rogan of all people, saying that he wants to fight him. Nay, he needs to fight him. And for the regulars of the channel, you'll know that we just spoke about Liver King for the first time in years after he dropped his documentary on Netflix that flopped. So, my initial thoughts when this was all happening, I was thinking, "Okay, here we go again. Liver King back at it again, refusing to accept that his career, at least as a public figure, is over." He refuses. And my thoughts was that he is doing anything at this point to uh you know get some public awareness about his health and wellness retreats that he's launching which he told us about in the end of his documentary on Netflix. But then I started to look a little bit deeper into this stuff that he was posting a lot of it. And uh now I'm not too sure and frankly it is a little bit concerning. So, is this whole thing with Liver King a genuine mental health breakdown, or is it just yet another publicity stunt of celebrities losing their mind? Let me show you what I found. Let's stop the yapping and let God come. So the conclusion that I came to on my video about Liver King and his documentary, his tell all documentary, his final confession was that he was still hustling. Bro was hustling. You know, he announced at the end of that documentary that he was going to open up 300 wellness retreats around the country. That was going to be his new business plan. And then right at the end of the documentary says with his wife on his lap that the liver king name is not over rather quote our reign is justing starting. So you got to wonder is it a coincidence that just a few weeks maybe like one or two months after that that thing dropped this happens. And keep in mind this is without hearing Liver King's name for like 2 years. He didn't really post much on social media. He didn't really promote the documentary too much. There's a few videos here and there. uh he posted a few videos of him working out until 5 days ago. That's when everything changed. The first video he posted in this new like incoherent style of just talking to the camera for like many many minutes was this one. And uh he looks pretty roughed up. It's a 4-minute long rant about honestly I couldn't even tell you. It's about ancestral tenants. He goes into a few prayers this side. Just things that I couldn't even relay to you concisely. the three entities that are evil as [ __ ] that thought you could make money by trying to destroy by doing things that weren't true. Remind me to not say their names because they don't deserve any of that. He's got all these scratches on his face which he doesn't address like where he got them or how. His right pupil is dilated and then like I think I think he's had that before though. Uh, and then he's also got these twigs lodged into his hair. Oh, I'm not gonna lie to you. It was the twigs for me that kind of ruined this. Because if you think about it, it's like, okay, have the incoherent rant, have the dilated pupil, have the scratches on your face, have the 4-minute long video speaking about I don't even know. But surely the moment you pick up that front-facing camera, you're going to see all of these twigs in your hair, you'll remove them. But if you want to keep them, that's probably for a specific purpose to frame yourself a little bit like you're losing your mind. So, at this point in like as I'm looking through it, I'm like, "Okay, this is probably for views." 2 days later, though, he posts his first call out of many uh to Joe Rogan. He begins the video by starting to talk about Mario Kart and then he somehow gets around to saying that he wants to fight Joe Rogan because Joe Rogan's been talking [ __ ] But keep in mind, I don't think Joe Rogan has said his name for over 2 years. So why he suddenly wants to fight Joe Rogan now? Little bit of a mystery. I mean, even Liverpane couldn't answer the reason why, you know, convincingly. He says, quote, "I'm picking a fight with him because I'm picking a fight with him because I think that it's uh it matters to me. It matters to me." He then says things like, "Can you guys tell Joe Rogan to watch this video and let him know uh that he wants to fight him? That he's going to put up $1 million on the line that will go to charity for whoever wins." Starting to sound like an influencer boxing match. And then he says after the fight, he's going to invite Joe Rogan to his house and meet his family. And bro, this is not how you sell a fight. You want to fight me? I'm actually pretty wild, bro. Then brings out the [ __ ] talk. He calls him Joe Roane, which I didn't expect. I was I was going to phrase that like, oh, that was a terrible insult, but when I say it out loud, Joe Roane and then he calls him Baldy Face. Joe Roane. Baldy Face. It got me. It got me. Joe Roane. Oh, for anyone that doesn't know, Roane is like a hair loss treatment. It's pretty crazy. Ro gain. You know, Joe Rogan invented that back in that would be so perfect. And obviously Joe Rogan's bald, so fair enough. He then over the next 2 days absolutely spams his Instagram with these progressively frequent and incoherent rants. One of them was a 17-minute long video, a real. He starts it off with, "Just finished up taking a [ __ ] I'm actually finishing up a [ __ ] right now." And he does say in that video as well um that he's going to kill Joe Rogan. So Joe Cohen, he's my high priest. He's my coach. He's going to help me kill Joe Rogan and then um give him my arm and hand and say you want to have dinner and he'll help optimize you too from the inside out. Yeah. Might might be a few flags for the police of what's to come. Just yesterday, he then begins to travel to Austin to have this fight with Joe Rogan because that's the city where Joe actually lives and where I shall soon live too. And then he brings this I don't even know dare I call it a Joe Rogan shrine but he has this like box that has like a Joe Rogan logo on it and he brings it to Austin with him. And I have no idea what's in the box. What's in the box? Not until you give me what's in theing box or why he's even in Austin. Just pulling up. Just pulling up to the capital. Guess what? You're dead, [ __ ] You're dead. You're dead because I Yeah, because Joe Rogan has never agreed or even spoken about this fight or addressed it. And not to mention, no one in the world would a especially a fighter would agree to a fight within 5 days notice with just some guy. And that's actually an interesting point which we'll get back to. Anyway, a day later, a bunch of videos and he's this crazy videos. But this morning, he then makes a video. Um, we get the four actual last videos from Liver King. Now, in the first one, it starts out with him in his underwear and uh the guy that's recording him, he's a cameraman. He actually plays a pretty pretty big role in a minute. He's recording Liver King and he and Liver King's like pacing around the place. He's getting his stuff together because police have showed up to the hotel and they're arresting him. His wife and two sons, they don't seem concerned at all, especially for people who, you know, their dad and their husband is just about to get arrested. Uh, like unless this is like a frequent thing, the first time someone close to you gets arrested, you'd be freaking out. I don't know if you heard there's free Wi-Fi this week. Or maybe that's all like there's stoic training. And that could be the explanation. Now, he's constantly telling this guy called Chris to keep recording no matter what. And he does, even at a time where Liver gathers his wife and two sons into the bedroom for a secret chat for like minutes on end. And this guy's just filming the hotel room like, "I don't even know what to do." Anyway, few minutes later, he comes out. Uh they share a big family hug before the police turn up to the hotel room and they escort Liver King who is now wearing like a whole weighted vest and stuff down to the police car. His wife and the cameraman go down separately at which point this cameraman says to her the police told him that it'll most likely be an in and out kind of thing like 24 hours. He's going to be in and out. Yeah, it's like we got to process you. He'll bail out, but we're talking probably 24 hours. He said to Liver King's wife that he'll likely have to see a judge. They'll assess the situation, but he should be out by tomorrow morning. So, as you're watching this, he'll probably still be in jail. And that's it from the Liberty social media side of thing. That's the last time he's posted. Now, it's important to note other media outlets have reported on this situation as well. And uh sources have confirmed to KX that Brian Johnson has been listed in the jail logs and that name is in fact Liverick. So, at least we know that he was actually arrested. So, it's not just one big I, oh, he's hired some police people. They say he faces one charge of terroristic threat, which is a class B misdemeanor. Now, that's usually a couple thousand fine, but it's been known to go as high as like 6 months in jail, which I very, very much believe it is unlikely unless he's actually done something that we don't know about. But yeah, if it's just the stuff that we're seeing online, it'll likely just be a fine. But the big thing is like we genuinely have no idea if Liverp is actually losing the plot or if he's just trying to get back in the news cycle in the public's eye to, you know, release these 300 wellness retreats that he's been speaking about. But there are some odd things about this whole situation. The first thing is why now? Why did he suddenly want to fight Joe Rogan after Joe Rogan spoke [ __ ] about him years ago? Secondly, if fighting Joe Rogan was actually his true intention and it wasn't just for views, then surely anyone on the planet knows that no one's going to fight someone with 5 days notice. Especially, and he mentions this, that he hasn't done any training as well. Like, that's just straight up dangerous. So, would you fight Joe Rogan who is a trained fighter with zero training experience? I don't know. Seems a little bit sus. That seems like the kind of behavior from someone who knows that this fight isn't going to happen. Also, another thing is like getting arrested is like honestly the go-to stunt for celebrities to get everyone talking about them again. I mean, wasn't it like two weeks ago that Bonnie Blue, the the adult filmmaker, did the exact same, well, not the same thing, but she recorded herself getting arrested. Turns out, yeah, that was a hoax, but she got what she wanted. Everyone spoke about it. Fact, I know about it. Another interesting part is that he actually made merch, boxes of merch with the Joe Rogan versus Liver King, you know, printed on it. In fact, he was wearing it as he got arrested. And I mean like making merch takes a lot of planning, preparation, designing, ordering. And so there's a lot of thought that is going into something which he is framing is very much like in the moment Liver King is losing his mind type situation. But then on the other hand, there is a possibility that this is all real and maybe he is truly suffering with a mental health breakdown. And that's kind of like the main problem with this whole situation is that celebrities too often have used this he or she is losing their mind to promote something of monetary value. I mean, we literally covered that on the channel, what was it last year when Ryan Garcia pretended to lose his mind and people were genuinely concerned. Turns out it was just for marketing and he said this on a podcast after he was like, "Yeah, I'm going to tell everyone that I'm losing my mind. I'm going to talk about the Illuminati and all of these things and then it was just to sell the fight with I don't know what you said." And so when there actually is someone who is a, you know, public figure that is suffering with mental health and they are losing it online, then everyone's like, "Oh, it's just for views. It's just so we can sell this product." And that's pretty bad. So it's very, very hard to tell whether this is real or whether this is fake. But what do you guys think? Should we be more kind to Liver King and is he actually suffering a mental health breakdown or is this all just for views and Liver King is back at it again hustling the world? Let me know your thoughts in the comments and I will see you on Friday. [Music] But unfortunate that this light has just become the thing that I whip. Never was even supposed to be. I mean, what even the [ __ ] is that light? I I thought I had in my mind a picture for this place, and now it's looking like a freaking 80s strip club.
