    I'm Emily and I'm Hannah we are best friends and dietitians we have a goal of challenging nutrition misinformation and

    0:15

    fitness Trends with an evidence-based approach each episode we will dish up our thoughts about the latest facts on a

    0:21

    popular health related topic where the upbeat dietitians

    0:27

    [Music] thank you

    0:33

    hello everyone welcome to another episode of the podcast

    0:39

    we are so excited the podcast

    0:45

    which one I don't know podcast well I realize I we have an intro every single

    0:52

    time and like they clicked on the podcast they probably know which one they're getting into

    0:58

    we don't need to say it again you're right okay I like it yeah I'm excited too today's gonna be a good episode we

    1:06

    are trying to be trendy and like up with the time so today if you haven't heard

    1:11

    about liver King you're about to we're talking all about the liver King

    1:16

    we're going to talk about like who the heck that actually is if you don't know um why he's kind of in the news right

    1:22

    now in the Fitness World um and then we're going to go over some of the issues of some events that have

    1:28

    recently transpired and talk about why we should be concerned about what

    1:35

    he's been doing so let's just get into it because I already know this is going to be a long

    1:42

    episode we're about to do I told Emily it's gonna be like the Herbalife episode all over again where I'm just gonna be

    1:47

    like on fire the whole time so thanks to Hannah checking in

    1:54

    so let's first start off with who is the liver King so the liver King is Brian

    2:01

    Johnson it makes sense that he had to make a name for himself because his name is

    2:06

    Mary Jane so boring I mean I'm Hannah Thompson which is also so boring I was

    2:11

    about to say I'm Emily Crosby so but we're not trying to say like we're like I don't know what would we call

    2:18

    ourselves like beat Kings beat Queens although I kind of want to call us beat

    2:24

    green beans maybe we are beat Queens but I feel like there's a different connotation between

    2:30

    queen and king he's like yes like yes Queen play Queen

    2:37

    um I'm better than you you suck bow down to

    2:42

    me like peasants yeah those vibes but yeah

    2:49

    his name's so Brian our liver King

    2:54

    Sven dethroned by his own lies that's a spoiler sorry

    3:03

    um he is a fitness influencer and he refers to himself as the CEO of the

    3:10

    ancestral lifestyle which like you know he was growing up with the cavemen so he

    3:16

    knows yeah actually do we have an age on this guy no I'm also wondering if you

    3:21

    can be a king and a CEO

    3:26

    what is the hierarchy are those two different about like over barring like bodies

    3:35

    right governing bodies not overpowering governing bodies rights um

    3:41

    to answer your question apparently a buzzfeed news article published in March 2020 said he was 44.

    3:47

    so he's 44-ish yeah which I can see he has two kids which

    3:53

    those poor things he's yeah I was scrolling through his feed like yesterday or today and he was

    3:59

    teaching his youngins how to follow the ancestral Lifestyle the nine tenets of

    4:05

    Primal eating this guy's like huge he's got on Instagram 1.7 million followers 3.5

    4:11

    million on Tick Tock I looked on my Instagram to see like you know you know how you can like see who you're like

    4:17

    friends with that follow people oh yeah I had two people that I know that follow him and I can totally see it I'm not

    4:23

    gonna say that really there's no way of listening to this podcast but I'm not going to say who it is just to be safe

    4:28

    but yeah I was like it's two dudes naturally so I know these no they went to my high

    4:35

    school okay I was like which also not hard yeah no you don't know not our resident

    4:41

    personal trainers no they would never they would never yeah this guy's

    4:46

    humongous of course and I was perusing through his website which is you have to look at it Emily if you have it it's so

    4:53

    it's exactly what you'd expect it's exactly it's like a lot of like animation and things like

    5:00

    popping out at you it's just very flashy with not a lot of like actual substance

    5:06

    um yeah not great but I did find where he puts what his

    5:11

    credentials are so I thought that would be hilarious for us to talk about um he does thankfully say is this like

    5:18

    quote from his website he says I'm not a hospital I'm not a doctor this is not medical advice so kudos for that

    5:23

    um sometimes I feel like Fitness influencers would just say like take my advice blindly it's going to heal you

    5:29

    like medical medium for example who isn't like really a fitness influencer but same area

    5:36

    um but he does say that he has a degree in Biochemistry which I find to be very

    5:41

    interesting foreign yeah right it makes sense that we don't

    5:49

    drive with this guy he said that he wrote a thesis on the chemistry and biochemistry of supplemental nutrition

    5:54

    which spoiler alert he of course has a supplement line which will break down

    6:00

    um he is a primal blueprint certified health coach and he's been obsessed with

    6:05

    ancestral Health and Living for over 20 years favorite part here

    6:11

    perhaps my best credential is that I care about people for these reasons I can usually offer some value and the

    6:18

    framework will always be built on and around ancestral living and unproven rate proven ways to work with our

    6:23

    biology to express the best versions of what we can be

    6:28

    for them you don't care about people you're funny and caring about people is

    6:37

    not like it's a good I'm glad you care about people or you claim to care about people

    6:44

    but that is not that's the bare minimum yeah like

    6:50

    that's bars you we hope so like yeah

    6:57

    like I guess he had to say that because probably people assume he doesn't care about people because

    7:03

    I don't think we should talk about looks too much but he looks very scary so you

    7:08

    might assume that he doesn't like people and his videos and content are just

    7:14

    petrifying we'll get into that but yeah those are his credentials he's like you're fine petrifying is a good word

    7:20

    right yeah he's got a biochem major so he is to be trusted

    7:25

    how let's brainstorm Hannah you don't need a brainstorm because we already know this

    7:30

    obviously but let's think about how do we think this guy

    7:36

    with a biochem degree and a lot of caring about people

    7:41

    Rose to fate naturally his polarizing lifestyle and

    7:48

    his physique grew him to 3.5 million of power talking

    7:54

    1.7 on Instagram yeah it could never be his education his knowledge his know-how

    8:00

    it's gonna be the way his body looks because it's how the fitness industry Works yep

    8:07

    yeah so he's been like adamant for a long time he's been like on podcasts and all kinds of stuff where everyone's like

    8:13

    are you taking steroids taking we're gonna say Peds performance enhancing drugs

    8:19

    um but he's been adamant this whole time that he's not taking them which if you've got two eyes and a brain in

    8:26

    between there you can probably tell that it's not all natural

    8:32

    no it's like every single thing that if you know anything about steroids like he's got all of the boxes checked of

    8:39

    what it would look like on a person yeah and I like love how he would also

    8:45

    advertise like if he looked like me if you eat like me and you work out like me

    8:50

    take all the supplements like me you'll look like me that's the whole thing like no one cares if you do steroids like

    8:57

    it's your body do whatever you want literally no one I mean if you do care that's on you I guess but like we don't

    9:02

    care at least I don't like I don't care if you want to do that to your body it's literally whatever you want to do but the issue is lying about it and like

    9:09

    promoting that the way your body looks can be achieved just by eating like raw

    9:14

    liver and bold testicles so poor little Jimmy who is like your biggest fan who

    9:20

    is not on steroids because he's 13 years old and can't get access to those is

    9:25

    going to be really bummed out when he's taking your expensive supplements and

    9:31

    eating raw liver and not getting the results that you promised you would get it's people don't realize how much

    9:37

    Outreach they have like 3.5 million followers that's a crazy amount of people mm-hmm but

    9:44

    especially like in the gym bro world there's a lot of like young boys

    9:50

    watching yeah and they're comparing themselves and

    9:56

    maybe asking their parents if they can buy these supplements so they can like support their weightlifting or

    10:03

    they look up to these people yes and believe them because who why would they

    10:08

    why would this man deceive them cares about people they haven't been

    10:16

    broken by the real world yet I know I know oh so spoiler like we've already

    10:22

    probably alluded to this guy is taking steroids Peds um there were apparently leaked emails

    10:29

    which I find just so so what's the word um like intriguing people always hate on

    10:36

    the whistleblowers I love the whistling Team

    10:43

    every scenario like you think of any Scandal where there was a whistleblower I support them

    10:50

    I mean same especially here like someone had to get this information out otherwise this guy's gonna be 10 million

    10:57

    followers deep and the world's gonna turn to dust because of him like we needed this whistleblower more

    11:03

    than ever they the world didn't ask for them but this is what we needed we

    11:09

    needed this yeah I like have a screenshot I've got

    11:14

    the receipts of the email we're not going to read at all because it's pretty long but whoever this guy is email or whoever

    11:21

    Brian Johnson the liver King is emailing he like breaks down since he's gotten

    11:27

    into his older age having a really hard time with reaching his physique goals

    11:32

    through just diet and exercise even though he like throws curse words in his email which I just find hilarious like

    11:38

    if I was doing a professional email I wouldn't be throwing the F-bomb around probably but no unless that's like I was

    11:44

    gonna say there are some people that's very much their brand though or like they use it in every other sentence him

    11:51

    and do you know who papa swolio is I've like stitched him before the guy with the long hair that says like go to the

    11:59

    effing gym go to the effing gym I'm afraid of him I hate him I hate him and

    12:04

    of course we're not really talking about him today but he's in the exact same category whenever I Stitch like him or I

    12:10

    haven't stitched liver King before but I'm sure if I did like I get comments supporting them it's crazy not that they

    12:16

    have to like be my biggest fan but they're like yeah I find it so motivating when papasolio tells me to

    12:22

    get rid of my cookies in my house and get to the gym it's just so motivating for me in what world no I I get angry when

    12:32

    people tell me what to do yes so yeah no

    12:38

    but I'm skimming the rest of this email as you talk yeah the email is like saying since I've gotten older I'm

    12:44

    having a really hard time even though I'm being super effort active man I walk 10 to 12 miles on my rest days and I

    12:50

    lift twice a day six days a week whatever he's like really just shooting his own horn and then he's like I'm

    12:56

    having a hard time still with getting my physique goals so I have started taking he like lists out all the different

    13:01

    steroids that he's on and it ends up being like 11 000 a month on these

    13:08

    steroids that's insane but he's got the money because he's got a hundred million

    13:14

    dollar company including a steroid or steroid line supplement line

    13:24

    that he's making one of these actually even selling steroids they're not it's not regulated I mean well did you watch

    13:31

    Lauren links um Tick Tock I just liked and supported I'm like whatever you have to say Lauren

    13:37

    ice I agree with you so she showed a screenshot from his website that he does say it's third party tested I don't know

    13:44

    which one if it's all of them are just one of them um but Lauren said in The Tick Tock she's like but they don't show like who

    13:51

    the third party is like oh it just says it just says they're party approved

    13:57

    yeah well that doesn't mean anything then yeah so that's actually like a good a good

    14:03

    segue into supplements we can maybe include the screen grab somewhere but honestly if you just Google liver King

    14:08

    email you'll be able to find it on Google very easily yes um but it basically just says that like I said

    14:16

    if you're not watching Emily is reading the email and she's very surprised

    14:22

    I'm reading his email etiquette to it's terrible terrible if I was like a

    14:28

    recruiter for whatever job he's applying for and he was all his little like ellipse I hate when people use calypsies

    14:35

    yes he's so many he's I mean he's 44 so I was about to say I didn't want to

    14:43

    but it does check out it checks out hyper non-responding that's that's the

    14:50

    part I'm at right now with the 3x three question marks just in case you don't know if this is a question oh I know but

    14:56

    my body's resistant to any other things I'm a walking God I'm hyper resistant to

    15:02

    usual food and exercise it's just so wild to me that like let's

    15:07

    focus on the content of not just the steroids or the PDS let's focus on the

    15:14

    content is whoever he's emailing he's like I know how to eat train rest and

    15:19

    recover I'm also on all these steroids but like what am I doing right Fitness

    15:25

    wise blood sugar I love this yes by blood sugar every morning it's around 74 and

    15:32

    insulin is great probably because I'm metabolic metabolic I can't say this because I'm metabolically fit as

    15:40

    yeah just in medical terms

    15:45

    oh my God I'm going to start putting that patient's charts metabolically fit

    15:50

    ass [Music] um

    15:56

    it's too low I'm very insulin sensitive because I work out like an epic Maniac insane like

    16:04

    he thinks he is the king of the world to help me dial in in the ped and growth

    16:11

    hormone protocol it's like he just wanted to get caught you can't throw confidentiality as a

    16:18

    subject and like yeah once it's on the Internet it's on the internet Brian Johnson you've learned you should know

    16:25

    better I would not want to be him right now he hasn't addressed it yet

    16:31

    do you think he's just gonna ignore it I bet people will still support him exactly he's probably not losing any followers

    16:37

    no I I on I don't know how your posts have been doing about him

    16:44

    but I got comments on mine that luckily I've been like very not

    16:49

    Pro him yeah but a lot of people have been saying we've all known he's not all

    16:54

    natural I'm like we have not all known have you do you see how many followers he has yeah a lot of people think

    17:02

    that is natural yeah yeah but again like in the fitness industry

    17:09

    it's just it happens like people take steroids it's their choice like whatever but it's the lying like like we said

    17:17

    he's promoting the idea I'll say a million times a day that you can eat like him if you just eat raw liver and

    17:22

    cow balls that you are going to be metabolically metabolically fit AF

    17:30

    yeah he's a dirty little liar

    17:38

    so nasty Brody

    17:44

    okay let's have some supplements because they're also of course Very controversial go check out link to

    17:51

    nutrition Lauren link we had her on the podcast in the past she did a good breakdown on Tick Tock and Instagram about these but to give you the the

    17:58

    brief scoop um he of course of course has a supplement line obviously

    18:05

    and we have a whole episode on supplements and our thoughts about them and how to find quality ones and all of

    18:12

    that so I'll link that below for you to listen to but of course those are unregulated and

    18:18

    obviously not ancestral like do you think the cavemen were taking supplements the cavemen were grinding of

    18:26

    powders and like yeah yeah this is gonna be good for my cholesterol yeah

    18:32

    so it's pretty ridiculous to say that you are like all natural but then take supplements and and steroids but we're

    18:38

    past that for this this part yeah that's just like such a it's such a common

    18:43

    theme I'm not even just talking about him so many people be like I eat all natural take my supplements

    18:51

    yeah and I'm like did your supplement come out of the ground is it a carrot

    18:58

    did it grow on a branch or a stem and yeah if you can't pronounce the

    19:05

    ingredients don't eat it but take the supplement that probably has no ingredient list because it's very

    19:10

    sketchy so I guess you're still following your own rules that's true you can make whatever you up

    19:16

    you want right as long as no one sues you exactly yeah so most of his supplements are like

    19:23

    dehydrated versions of the meats he wants you to eat so it's just making it easy for you to be a primal natural guy

    19:31

    so he's got like dehydrated organ Meats bone marrow yada yada and the funniest part the funniest part

    19:38

    which I've heard before from these carnivore carnivore guys it's like if you look at the supplements and the

    19:44

    benefits that they are supposedly supposed to have like the beef heart supplement helps with cardiovascular

    19:50

    health the beef intestine supposedly help with gut benefits that's not how it works like

    19:57

    if I were to like eat a cow's nose I wouldn't smell better

    20:03

    like the organ you eat does not directly affect the same part on your human body that's not how it works that's literally

    20:09

    nothing no it's not a thing a scientific opinion

    20:15

    literally never been up

    20:20

    oh yeah we've talked about this before I don't know what episode it was I know

    20:25

    it's like I'm getting what's that called when you like feel like you're really reliving something Deja Vu yeah yeah but

    20:33

    yeah Hannah would not smell better if she ate a cow's nose I would not

    20:38

    let's say like I ate like a cow's bicep or something awesome

    20:48

    my bicep wouldn't grow them no you're right or like a cow brain like you don't just like get a bigger brain

    20:56

    nor do you want a bigger brain that sounds there's not a lot of room in your skull for more brain it's very

    21:02

    tightly regulated in a certain way yeah uh

    21:11

    okay what do you say we get into like we've kind of already touched on

    21:16

    these but the big issues like what's the problem with this whole thing that's transpired with this whole email leaking it's all coming out that he's a liar

    21:23

    yada yada so first and foremost he's a dirty little liar

    21:30

    and we've said it but the number one issue is he's promoting an unrealistic

    21:38

    lifestyle and body type based off of what he's promoting

    21:44

    you cannot obtain his body one based off of his supplements his raw

    21:50

    meat if he even does those we don't know social media you kind of show people

    21:56

    what you want them to see he couldn't he could be spitting it out after takes or he could be not even

    22:03

    taking it it could it could even it could be he could be lying about what's in his hand like

    22:09

    yeah we don't know and now the fact that there are receipts

    22:14

    to show even more evidence like I just wouldn't believe I one we were not

    22:20

    believing a word coming out of his mouth but like even more so now this is just evidence that

    22:27

    we should not take anything he said seriously exactly yeah we are thankfully

    22:33

    like educated dietitians so we know like these red flags but now like hopefully

    22:39

    everyone can see the red flags yes but yeah the big issue that we see all

    22:46

    the time in the fitness industry is that people only care about Aesthetics and how you look and so what kind of happens

    22:52

    is the more muscle you have the better you look to people who are trying to achieve the same kind of goals the more

    23:00

    people will believe you and look up to you so if you've got big old muscles and

    23:06

    you look aesthetically pleasing then people are going to be more inclined to believe you

    23:14

    even if you're spitting crazy stuff out like eat ball bull testicles and you'll

    23:21

    be so fit metabolically fit AF you're probably metabolically fitting yeah oh

    23:27

    my God yeah how does that work I feel so bad for his kids what if I a

    23:36

    with his whole theory of like what organ you eat impacts your organ what if I ate

    23:41

    bold testicles if I don't have testicles would I grow a pair

    23:47

    wait that's such a good question for him does he have a q a oh my God

    23:54

    I think that's the last thing he's doing right now I don't think he needs any more attention

    24:01

    we should write him a letter we can ask him that way since he's all about like old school and

    24:07

    you know yeah some like pigeon a carrier pigeon

    24:13

    oh my God how I do it in like Game of Thrones like we'll just do it however they would like like the Raven or yeah

    24:20

    with like the um like the wax seal ours could be a beach yes

    24:30

    that's such a good question yeah like with his whole Theory like what if you don't have the organ that

    24:35

    you're eating I don't even know what he'd say don't cows have like five stomachs what if I

    24:42

    eat like a part of a stomach that doesn't translate into the stomach that I have as a human

    24:49

    I have so many questions that'd be amazing

    24:54

    I'd be unstoppable

    25:00

    what's that Tick Tock Trend where you like dance and say like what's that song I did it recently but it's Untouchable

    25:06

    yeah me but I have five calcium

    25:13

    oh my God oh my gosh because liver King said it by

    25:19

    eight stomachs I would give them oh my God I might make a video about that it would be so Niche no one would like

    25:25

    except for you people would have to know it's satire they'd be like if they didn't I'd be concerned well did

    25:34

    you see my like um my other dancing I've done a lot of dancing lately which is not like me

    25:39

    um my one about like my liver cleanse like annual detox some of the comments

    25:45

    were like yeah I do an annual detox cleanse and I feel great I'm like you totally sarcasm there it did not land

    25:51

    and I apologize it's partly my fault I'm just very sarcastic no I got I feel like

    25:57

    you'd have to know you yeah yeah my phone even if you didn't another bad

    26:03

    thing about liver King well we're we're on the topic of his flaws

    26:09

    is the promotion of disordered eating we are a big advocates for calling out

    26:16

    disorder eating habits and his just like All or Nothing mindset and

    26:22

    like even in his email he was like very extreme with everything he's doing and

    26:29

    like his workout regimen working out twice a week six times a week and then

    26:34

    walking 10 to 12 miles on a rest day which is not a rest day it's like

    26:41

    in one side of my mind side note I'm like was this a planned PR stunt but I don't think it is this would be like a

    26:48

    really this I feel like this is a weird PR stunt yeah if you go down that route it has to be something else yeah um

    26:55

    but just that promotion of that like extreme different types of eating you have to do all of this and exercise like

    27:01

    this and eat all these foods to look like me type Vibe yeah

    27:08

    yeah it's like every red flag that we would look at as a practitioner as a

    27:14

    dietitian he's got them all it's so bad let's talk about bigger Rexy oh yeah

    27:23

    we should do an episode on that we should get um a guest speaker that is like we should have

    27:29

    that Sports dietitian I said her we're insta friends I her and I are you too I

    27:36

    thought so yeah we should DM her yeah stay tuned for a future episode coming

    27:41

    on bigoraxiaxia which if you don't know what it is it's just like what it sounds like it's kind of the obsession of

    27:47

    actually it's what liver King is like the obsession of just like being metabolically said AF but like really

    27:52

    big and muscular essentially to a an extreme that's not very healthy and then the next one we already talked

    27:59

    about but anytime anyone ever uses their body as

    28:04

    like a selling point we should just

    28:10

    take what they say with the greatest song Because genetics is number one in liver King's case steroids and Peds

    28:17

    are number two um but they aren't telling you that they aren't advertising oh come join my

    28:24

    family gene pool and we can like create a child that looks like

    28:29

    well because you can't you're already you already produced dude yeah that is assault

    28:35

    that is collusion we none of that

    28:42

    but I hope liver king is not advertising like making babies with people

    28:49

    I don't think anyone is I hope um but like you know like you're already created you know your Gene your gene

    28:57

    pool is determined you cannot change that no matter what new supplement probably or fitness program or nutrition

    29:04

    program will tell you you're you're good to go you're the only what

    29:09

    it is yeah and like even even the creation of a child would probably not

    29:15

    help with your like motives to like look a different way you'll probably just despise them so don't do that don't have

    29:22

    a child for that reason for someone's gene pool this is my God yeah wait are you saying

    29:30

    like if I wanted to look like liver King I should not have a child with him

    29:38

    okay good advice just in case you're contemplating it

    29:45

    because I would be jealous of my child and the jeans he would have we can maybe make this a little bit more

    29:50

    realistic I don't know if anyone's actually had these thoughts I had someone has I bet you someone has where

    29:55

    someone's like iffy about the relationship and they're like they really want kids no our kids would look

    30:02

    so good yeah that's not a reason to have children no don't do that to them either

    30:09

    your poor children don't do that no children are easily traumatized the

    30:14

    minute they find that out and they will sign them up for therapy right off the

    30:20

    bat yeah before they're even born just start saving up for that you got a college fund and a therapy

    30:27

    fund yeah yeah yeah yeah yep classic using your body to sell

    30:33

    something love it and then once again it said a million times today but it just promotes the idea that if like this

    30:39

    whole thing promotes the idea that if you copy someone's diet and exercise routine that you'll look like them we've said it a billion times it's just not

    30:45

    gonna happen that one faster than I thought it would that's actually our main points I think it's just pretty clear and like to the point what the

    30:52

    issue is though we don't really have to like convince

    30:57

    our points they are no there I think most people at least maybe I'm just

    31:04

    biased because I do have a feed that I've curated but I've seen only posts

    31:09

    supporting what we're saying and not the other way I feel like a lot of that is the feed though yeah where

    31:16

    whatever social media it is it it knows um I know you don't check your YouTube

    31:22

    comments right I don't because people are mean on YouTube don't look at your

    31:28

    YouTube short on this that you posted I saw somebody comments and I'm like I

    31:33

    just know these are so me I I saw like on my home page I was like oh Emily

    31:39

    posted so sure it's very smart so I did the same thing and I read the comments like and it was early on before it

    31:44

    probably went like even more viral than it maybe already is but it was bad YouTube YouTube is the worst comment

    31:51

    section in the world no you think instruments mean or like sometimes Tick Tock can go the mean people are on

    31:58

    YouTube YouTube is bad it's also really get nice comments on YouTube I I have not read my YouTube

    32:05

    short comments in probably six months just because they are never nice

    32:11

    they're like they're they're the worst they're absolutely worse with tick tock

    32:17

    yeah I normally have Bobby vet them sometimes if I'm like a little anxious

    32:23

    because it's so much you take it so much less personally when you read like when I read yours I don't get like as upset

    32:31

    as if it was like I'm mine because you just like naturally take that more personally so I just know like for my

    32:37

    mental health I will not be reading these yeah don't read your most recent it's not good

    32:45

    I figured it's not it went viral it did it did in

    32:51

    every comment they help promote that post so you know thanks guys so it probably reached some

    32:57

    people that now know who you are and get to learn from you yes so anyway bottom

    33:03

    line honestly liver King sucks but he's not the problem I would say I mean he's

    33:09

    problematic but he's not the problem he's part of a much bigger problem which is Fitness culture diet culture he's

    33:16

    just a symptom of the problem like he is just embodying the much bigger issue at

    33:22

    hand he's like a little germ in this bacteria pool just

    33:30

    [Laughter] he's just feeding off of the

    33:35

    the climate the like I was about to say you know how bacteria grows best in dark

    33:42

    and moist climates he's

    33:49

    where are you going with this that's all I have to say is he's a little germ

    33:55

    in moist climate that is Diet culture and the fitness

    34:02

    toxic culture yeah because there are there are good people in the fitness industry

    34:09

    oh it's just overrun with a lot of masculine taxes or toxic masculinity

    34:17

    yeah and diet culture yeah um speaking of bacteria

    34:24

    I just thought of this one time I played basketball in middle school and we lost

    34:30

    the game and my coach called us cancer and said we were toxic and I think I need to unpack that in

    34:36

    therapy yeah she's like you guys are killing oh my God you're toxic girls it was not

    34:43

    good oh my God that like just came to my memory from that bacteria conversation

    34:52

    yeah you can't call children no we were like 12 years old especially Middle School girls yeah very

    35:00

    impressionable that obviously stuck with me for like 15 years here we are and it's coming back yeah

    35:07

    oh my gosh yeah I forget why like I'm sure we were being

    35:12

    like annoying middle schoolers but still like that's like every middle middle schoolers are the worst and like like I

    35:19

    know she could have been like mad we lost a basketball game but it was like seventh grade basketball

    35:24

    nothing wild is coming out of that like everyone's there for a good time yeah

    35:30

    and the the dinner that the parents bring afterwards oh yeah

    35:35

    I was there for the Doritos and the ham and cheese sandwich let's be honest

    35:42

    anyway that's really off topic but that just like brought up a very distant memory that I did not know was in there

    35:48

    wow yeah um organ meats are actually very

    35:53

    nutritious yeah they are I randomly threw that in the outline without any context yeah

    36:01

    um so he's got one thing going for him liver King but you don't feed them raw you don't have to only eat those you can

    36:08

    also eat other things no let's do this bonus question I'm very excited to hear

    36:13

    your answer I'm I already have an answer I think I do too

    36:18

    so I don't know you go first okay I'll ask the question you can go first okay bonus questions very on theme today it's

    36:25

    would you rather I think we could start using like more would you rathers as we get out of I like winter ideas yeah so

    36:32

    if you guys have any good would you rathers let us know you can always DM us or we could do a poll even um but would you rather eat raw liver or

    36:39

    raw testicles of an animal obviously no human organs was it I almost put like

    36:46

    animal liver and animal testicles I was like wait we're not eating human that was no Up For Debate

    36:55

    I would eat raw liver okay because liver I just like associate with being

    37:02

    like very nutrient dense yeah um I also think it's pretty good for iron that's always What I Hear for like

    37:10

    I always think of like my dad eats all those the organs at Thanksgiving like he

    37:16

    eats like the heart he eats to live like it comes with the turkey yeah like the

    37:21

    giblets or whatever call it um but we we cook ours

    37:28

    but I think I've actually tried Liverpool

    37:35

    oh it wasn't good oh well but it wasn't terrible

    37:42

    testicles I just can't like what's the texture of those that's

    37:48

    what I I bet they're so chewy and chewy things make me so mad to eat I hate when

    37:54

    I could shoot like 60 times you'd have to for those yeah

    38:00

    slime team rollover my only my only beef

    38:05

    with the liver um is that iron taste like that Bloody iron taste is such a turn off like it's

    38:13

    so bad so that's my one quad with the liver but it's got to be better than testicles

    38:19

    right like I don't know like Bulls testicles are delicacy and some that's

    38:25

    true so maybe like if it's cooked right but this is also raw this is not raw we

    38:30

    are a cavemen we have not progressed we will not adapt and be okay with

    38:38

    modern technology no we are okay ancestral cavemen yeah

    38:44

    you're right so like these could both be good if they were cooked in a proper way like they're both things that are eaten

    38:51

    in certain cultures yeah just typically

    38:57

    cooked cooked yeah so I guess my answer is liver but not because I want it to be yeah if someone

    39:07

    was going to shoot you in the head and they said eat this for all of our raw testicles I'd say shoot me in the head

    39:15

    you would you have to eat the whole thing like a bite maybe I would choose life but I don't know maybe I would just

    39:24

    say maybe I would choose testicles if it was a bite oh my god

    39:30

    um it's not great no luckily we

    39:35

    I don't think we have any plans I can't imagine a situation that's gonna

    39:41

    happen to us and honestly if it does like I said like

    39:47

    it is what it is so let us know guys

    39:54

    if you would rather eat we're all over rock yeah let us know I'm dying to know and

    40:01

    that's not sarcastic I really do want to know your answer maybe we'll put a poll out we should

    40:08

    this episode's gonna come out ASAP so we're going to be very yes we'll keep it up quick with the

    40:13

    trends yes okay that's a wrap on liver King until next time he does something stupid

    thank you for listening today's episode we hope you enjoyed it um go

    40:29

    intestine intestines Oregon meat you can eat intestines you know go eat

    40:42

    but make sure it's cooked please um no food poisoning or anything or

    40:47

    maybe like I don't know if there are raw organ Meats in different Cults I've not

    40:52

    well versed in all the cultural Foods maybe there is but like they probably do it safely or right and not for the

    41:00

    reasons that liver King is doing it no not to make your heart better or to

    41:07

    improve your GI health yeah yeah oh and thank you to everyone who
