Speaker 1: The past several days have brought Joe Rogan back into
Speaker 1: national headlines, and this time it's for a truly bizarre
Speaker 1: brush with danger. In a widely reported incident, social media
Speaker 1: influencer Brian Johnson, best known as Liver King, was arrested
Speaker 1: in Austin after a series of aggressive Instagram videos in
Speaker 1: which he openly challenged Rogan to a fight. Police records
Speaker 1: and statements confirmed Johnson's threats were taken seriously, with Rogan

Speaker 1: their ongoing conflict was featured in a recent Netflix documentary.
Speaker 1: For Rogan, the ordeal was a stark reminder of the
Speaker 1: hazards that fame can sometimes bring, but also an episode that,
Speaker 1: while disturbing, seems unlikely to derail his trajectory as a
Speaker 1: public figure, given his unflappable persona and lack of direct
Speaker 1: involvement in provoking Johnson. While the liver King drama unfolded,
