Podcast host and UFC commentator Joe Rogan has revealed the guest that he refused to have on his podcast after he was 'caught lying'.
Rogan is responsible for hosting the most popular podcast in the world, The Joe Rogan Experience, which boasts over 14.5 million followers on Spotify and 16.4 million subscribers on YouTube.
However, the 57-year-old has named the man who 'tried real hard' to get on his famous podcast after being exposed by a leaked email.
The person in question is known as the Liver King, real name Brian Johnson, as the fitness influencer was forced to admit to using steroids despite telling viewers that he had nothing unprocessed in his diet, eating solely raw foods.

Johnson claimed that the persona he adopted online was an 'experiment', with the leaked emails revealing that he was taking unnatural products to help maintain his shredded physique for thousands of dollars.
Speaking to fans on social media about his fraudulent 'ancestral diet', Johnson said in 2022: “I’m here now to set the record straight.
“Yes, I’ve done steroids, and yes, I’m on steroids, monitored and managed by a trained hormone clinician. Liver King, the public figure, was an experiment to spread the message,” he claimed.

The admission came after Rogan's claims that Johnson's proposed lifestyle was fake and even accused him of putting artificial products in his body, which proved to be right.
Speaking on one of his podcast episodes with Derek from the More Plates More Dates YouTube channel, who leaked the emails exposing Johnson, Rogan spoke more about the Liver King.
"There is no way you can look like that, in your 40's... he's preposterously jacked," he stated.
"Now that we know he is full of s***... we are talking about the Liver King, by the way," Rogan clarified.
The podcast host went on: "He was telling people that he gets that away by sunning his balls... he literally lays down with his a*****e staring at the sun and eats raw liver and just lifts like a maniac, and that's how he's so jacked. It's preposterous."

Derek said that Johnson was 'lying through his teeth' as they spoke about the topic, explaining that 'there's too many polar extremes' for there to be a successful 'unique marketing spin'.
"A lot of people will take a guy's word when it's a private conversation and when he's straight up telling you in person...he was just lying through his teeth seemingly," he said of Johnson's drug use.
But Rogan further revealed that he ran into Johnson at one of boxer Canelo Alvarez's fights, admitting: “He was front row at one of my shows in Vegas at the MGM.

“Then I saw him again at the [Saul] Canelo [Alvarez] fight. He was trying real hard to get on the podcast and he’s been trying really hard to get on now.
"He contacted a few friends of mine and some of them, like Bert Kreischer, had him on their show. For what? Say that [apology] more? Like come on, this is dumb, man..."
He damningly stated: "You ran a con game and you got busted.
"It’s unfortunate that you feel terrible, I’m sorry you feel bad cause that’s just what happens when you get caught lying. But you didn’t have to lie.”
