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
40:23
thank you for listening today's episode we hope you enjoyed it um go
40:29
I don't know if there are any fun takeaways let's go eat cooked
40:35
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
