Liver King f*cked around..
Chapters8
Overview of the released body cam footage and initial reactions from Liver King and critics.
A wild, internet-era caper: Liver King calls out Joe Rogan, ends up tangled with Austin police, and the saga spirals into a quirky, high-stakes meme moment.
Summary
Asmongold delivers a chaotic debrief on Liver King’s infamous bid to confront Joe Rogan in Austin, complete with borrowed-time medieval flair and a police detour. The clip-heavy thread follows Brian “Liver King” Johnson as he announces a man-to-man duel with Rogan, only to crash into the Austin Police Department’s terroristic-threat workflow. The narrative plays out through menus of humor and miscommunication—from a joking “dwarf warrior” framing to a perplexing exchange about a black box believed to hold two pistols. Throughout, Asmongold leans into the absurdity while keeping a sharp eye on the legal fallout: a terroristic-threat charge, a $20,000 bond, and a GPS monitoring order following Johnson’s release. The piece crescendos with Rogan’s side of the story, Johnson’s continued online presence, and the lingering question of whether the spectacle will ever land on Rogan’s podcast. It’s a case study in online bravado colliding with real-world consequences, all filtered through Asmongold’s signature mix of satire and commentary. The video also nods to the broader culture of hype, status games, and the weirdly earnest self-improvement language Liver King leaned into, like “the delta of perfect life” and “walking into the light.”

We can only be this friendly because we can also be as dangerous as it allows us to be with these laws that make this great place called this place. But I'm kind of telling people my roots are Poland and Texas.

No, I didn't see that one coming, but it came. Really? You didn't see it coming? And uh that's awesome. I'll take that for a dollar. Oh my god. According to police records, Brian posted another video in which he was seen carrying a medieval axe as well as a black box with a Jo actually came back.
Bro, wrong century. What do you mean? What do you mean? He brought his axe. A Rogan experienced sticker on the top. Though he was secretive about the box's contents, investigators would later find out what was inside. A terrorist threat. Wow. I didn't know. Terroristic. They don't have to tell you in the state of Texas and they don't have to tell you. They can just arrest you. I don't know how you get out of this box. How long do you How long do you spend in the box? Do they tell Who's he talking to? How old is Liver King, by the way?
I mean, there's no way he's over 55, right? He's 47. Oh my god, that's crazy. Are you How long you spend in the box? How long do you spend in the box? Absolute total [ __ ] barbarian Viking. Absolutely. Who does this? Can you imagine them doing that on the long boats? Absolutely. Can this video of me being in this Can it go on social media? The detective finally arrives, but his attempt at an introduction is quickly shut down. I don't know if you have any involvement for law enforcement. I just kind of want to tell you about myself.
If you don't mind, I'm going to skip all that. I don't want to know about you. I just want you want to know about me. Let's not talk. I don't give a [ __ ] about you. Let's talk about the important thing, which is me. Give everything about you and whatever you want to know about me or the situation. Let's elucidate that as fast as possible. Big word. The detective reads Brian his Miranda rights, then asks if he understands each of them. There's one that I don't. If I have the right to terminate this interview at any time, what would happen next?
And then you and I are done talking and when can I leave? No. Yes, sir. You'll be arrested and go down to the jail. Oh, so I'm not arrested. You are arrested. That's what I'm saying. You're When we're done talking Okay, I'll terminate this interview. Cool. God, why are you Why do this? Like, why? He's so dumb. Hold on, Jeff. This is what happens when you skip cut scenes, guys. Do you mind? I saw that you had your phone on. You mind if I had that? You're not allowed to have a phone in here per policy.
Oh, I already posted everything that I had in here. Okay. Is that okay? Cuz I Oh, do I need to undo that? No, no, that's fine. Like, just So, you're asking me the question? Wait, what do you mean? So, he's tweeting from the box. He's in the box and he's tweeting. If it's a demand, you guys can uh do whatever you need to do. Uh but you said, "Do you mind?" Yeah, I mind. It's my phone and it's what I have on me right now. So, maybe there's a protocol in I mean, they're probably going to let him keep the phone.
I mean, do you really want to fight this? Do you really want to fight the dwarf warrior on [ __ ] Just? Let him have the [ __ ] phone. use different language. I don't want to demand like I I don't want to be disrespectful or any sort of like I'm trying to show you the most respect. Okay. I'm just asking you don't think I'm being respectful of you. Well, think about this. You said, "Do you mind?" Yeah, I mind. So, the answer is yes, I might. Okay. Can I have your Can you give me your phone? I could.
Will you give me your phone, please? I would like not to do that. You know what's really crazy is that he's already in the top 10% of these people because he's reasonable. He's responsive. He's kind of clever, right? Even the even the uh investigator is like, "Okay, good one." Right? Like it it's this is so is it really just this easy if you just cooperate and take his axe? He asks for his phone one more time, but Brian once again refuses to hand it over. On that note, the detective leaves the room, and Brian continues the conversation alone.
Continues the conversation alone. That's the craziest way that I've ever heard. He started talking to himself in an empty room be described. He continued the conversation alone. Oh, post that one. Also posted that one. We'll post the next ones, too. What happens next? What happens next? Well, I take you down to the jail is next. Okay. So, I could just interview with you and and then go to the jail or I could skip that line and go straight to the jail. New experiences, new information, collect more points. Okay, that you should not have said that.
That's what it that's what a person who's living under the bridge would say. Why would you say this? Like, so yeah, bro, he's actually Did this guy get isai? Like, yeah, he's on his own version of solo leveling. We already did it. He's warrior main class. His main profession is dentist. His subprofession is alchemist. Poland. Yeah. In Poland. That can happen too. And it did. And so we kind of have a little bit of a reputation, a little bit of experience in jail. And I learned a lot. So collected more points. Adventure novelty. He's actually leveling up, bro.
Like evolutionary hunter. That's what you do. An evol Oh, he's a hunter. Evolutionary hunter. That's what you do. You go out to I love this guy. I do. I know he's such a stupid [ __ ] And yeah, you can't go around threatening to kill Joe Rogan, but I I find this to be so amusing. I love Liver King. Venture. Accept the risk. Hopefully, it commensurate with a reward. Hopefully that you can make it. Hopefully, I get a good quest reward. Bro, he's actually gaming calculated risk that geometrically magnifies the reward but never at the risk of like self really.
Oh, he's taking the hard mode version to get the extra points unless the reward is worth it. According to police records, an officer with the Violent Crimes Task Force spoke with Brian's Executive Protection employee, Justin. When asked about the contents of the black box dawning the Joe Rogan podcast sticker, Justin claimed it held two custommade staccato pistols that were meant to be gifts for Joe Rogan. Oh god. Piss. Yeah. I wonder. And that's the thing, right? is that Liver King there's a chance that it actually wasn't to shoot him. It was to challenge Joe Rogan to a duel, you know, like take 10 paces and then turn around.
I could immediately I could imagine that that's why there's two of them. So to know your high swords are four of them decision-m matrix John Wick two-way doors just go fire aim oneway doors spend some time to aim maybe aim aim fire depending on how one way it is he's actually gaming he's gaming bro and then one way let's go to jail for a little bit I already done that but maybe I'll learn something new in the process collect some more points and do some squats squats. Not real squats, like the ones that you kind of do, like the pistol variety, the ones that count.
Oh, you probably won't get his attention even, you know. But what happened is um you picked a fight, Joe Rogan, with another man, a real one. This would go so hard a thousand years ago. This would have gone so hard. Really? Maybe a worthy one. Oh, yeah. One that you thought you'd pick a fight with. And so now there's real consequences. And then uh they'll just make this one stronger in jail for how long will I be here, do you think? What law did I break? Which law did I break? Whoa, Joe Rogan, you compromised something big.
It's the state of Texas. You You allowed this to be happening. You wanted it to happen. Records state that officer spoke with Joe Rogan himself. I don't Joe Rogan wanted Liver King to fly to Austin with two pistols so he could challenge you to a duel to the death with your battle axe. of course, who was made aware of the threats by his own security team. Joe Rogan claimed he'd never had any sort of contact with Brian and was unaware of why he would be targeting him. I don't Yeah. He went on to say that he feels that Brian appears to be quote significantly unstable and seems like he needs help.
I wonder what the probability of Liver King ever being on Joe Rogan's podcast is cuz I know the number isn't zero. But I wonder what's going to happen in like two years from now, right? Cool, right? You're arrested by the violent crimes division. You know what's not cool is I think this made the percentage go down though. That's not cool. I'm pretty sure threat. That's not cool. when your home is Texas. 80% in 10 years. And then the person that's hoping to put you there is not from Texas. He's not. He's from California, y'all. Yeah.
You know, we do from outsiders like Pace Pante style. What? Get a rope. Not a threat. I'm just That's the commercial and that's in principle. That's what Texans do. We don't honor that kind of friendly. Welcome to Texas, Joe Rogan. My name is Liver King. Who do I want to fight? Who am I picking a fight with? Joe Rogan. What week is it? What week is it? Rogan vers Li King week. No, actually that was wrong. The week is the same as the password for the free Wi-Fi. It's you, Joe Rogan with a thank you Mark.
Many of Brian's followers. So true. more like a question mark expressed their concerns with his mental state after he posted the following video cuz I'm here all week. I don't know if you heard Rogan verse Liver King 47. Damn. Damn, bro. Like, wow. Period. COM all week. This week, it started on Monday. It's going to go through at least Friday. I may go over the weekend, but no longer than that. I'm going to record a lot of videos. Well, this week, yeah, somebody's record. not going to record any for a long time because you're going to go to jail.
Brian takes out his phone and plays what appears to be a recording of himself captured just moments ago in the interrogation room. He listens as he waits for officers to collect him. Guys, guys, we got to get this guy back to his timeline. We have to get him back to his timeline before something goes wrong. This is nuts. He listens as he waits for officers to collect. We got to get him back to his Oh no. What's up, man? Turn around. Yeah. We're going to place you in your handcuffs for right now. You're good. You're good.
No more. Appreciate you. Where's your uh your phone at, sir? In my pocket. The phone continues to play on the table as they remove the remainder of his property. He's then transported to the local jail. Would it be funny if I told you I had another phone on me, man? Oo crap. That would be a little funny. You know, he's just like, "Oh, god [ __ ] cuz they're supposed to take a bunch of stuff from you the first time." And then they leave a lot of stuff and then sometimes that happens again. That would be funny, right?
It might be a little funny. Yeah. Right. I The cop doesn't even care. Yeah, it'd be funny if you still had the I don't know all your backtory. Where are you from? Where are you from? If you don't mind, I'm not going to be as friendly as I normally am. It's really up to you. The following day, Brian posted a $20,000 bond and was released from jail. As a condition of his release, he was ordered to have no contact with the victim or his family and to wear a GPS monitor. The next Uhoh. Morning, Brian posted a new video to Instagram suggesting he's I mean, look at this guy.
Jesus. I mean, damn, man. Still has future plans involving Joe Rogan. What are Bro, bro, what the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] dude? I If anybody knows where Seth Rogan's uh the other version of him that rhymes with blow with if any one knows where it's family's going to be today. If you could let uh my team know so that we can stay within 200 yd not close to them to stay away from them. Please actually I redact that. Don't do anything. Shut up, bro. Like it's not his fault, bro. Like he's he's from a time where they didn't have electricity.
Okay. He doesn't even understand what he's doing wrong. He doesn't understand violating a protective order. Their family, if anyone who's around us can alert us that there might be anyone with a last name Rogan around, then I'll happily go the other 200 y. This thing will help me make sure you know how good that feels on the ankle. And then we're going to go to the ankle capital at 700 p.m. Every day we'll be at the capital where they make laws. Rogan vers Liver King. What? That's That's a courthouse. I've been to the capital. I'm picking a fight.
