A hilarious animated parody imagining a controversial meeting between podcast giant Joe Rogan and controversial fitness influencer Brian Johnson, known as “Liver King,” has gone viral across social media platforms.
The short cartoon animation was created by a parody account named ‘jeo rogan.’ The video depicts what many fans believe would be the inevitable awkwardness and confrontation if the two personalities ever shared a studio together.
In the animated sketch, a reluctant Rogan hosts Liver King, who enthusiastically promotes his “12 ancestral tenets” and “primal lifestyle” while Rogan appears visibly annoyed.
“I knew eating balls all day every day would pay off eventually,” says the animated Liver King character, referencing his infamous raw organ meat diet that gained him millions of followers online.
The cartoon doesn’t shy away from addressing controversies surrounding Johnson, particularly his admission to PED use after previously denying it. In the animation, Rogan confronts his guest: “Everyone knows you’re juiced with more st**oids than a WWE locker room.”
The animated Liver King attempts to defend himself, claiming, “I made mistakes, but I’ve evolved. I’m a new man now. Still primal, but honest and clean.”
The parody takes a humorous turn when a beeping sound interrupts their conversation. When Rogan questions the noise, the animated Liver King reveals it’s his “primal band” that “tracks my steps.” Rogan immediately identifies it as an ankle monitor.
The cartoon concludes with Rogan activating an “ejector seat” to remove his unwanted guest from the studio.
The timing of the animation is particularly relevant following recent real-world events. Johnson was arrested in Austin in June for allegedly making threats against Rogan and was released on $20,000 bond.
Johnson is now subject to a restraining order requiring him to stay at least 200 yards away from the podcaster and his family. The court also ordered Johnson to undergo a mental health evaluation.
Despite these legal troubles, Johnson has continued posting videos online expressing his desire to quare off with Rogan.
Many believe that this entertaining “what-if” perfectly captures exactly how such an encounter would unfold.
