Disgraced influencer the “Liver King” — known for lying about his insane muscular physique being down to gobbling raw organs and even testicles — was arrested in Texas after challenging Joe Rogan to a fight in bizarre social media footage.

The Youtuber, whose real name is Brian Johnson, was charged Tuesday with making a terroristic threat soon after traveling to Rogan’s home state and posting alarming videos about “picking a fight” with the podcaster — at one point holding what appears to be two guns.

Johnson — who was forced to admit in 2022 that his ripped physique was really down to $ 11,000 a month in steroids — was booked into the Travis County Jail in Austin at 8:31 p.m. Tuesday, online records show.

Further details of his arrest, and its possible link to Rogan, were not immediately known Wednesday.

However, the 47-year-old influencer went on an unhinged shirtless rant against Rogan on Monday — challenging him to an “honorable” fight while wearing a fur headdress and holding what appears to be a gun in each hand.

“Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you,” he said, while sporting the wolf pelt.

“I have no training in jiu-jitsu, you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules, I’ll come to you, whenever you’re ready.”

He again challenged the podcaster to fight him “man to man” while proclaiming he has a “family to fight for” in a video posted the same day.

“You never come across something like this, willing to die, hoping that you’ll choke me out because that’s a dream come true,” Johnson said in his rant.

Rogan has never hosted the “Liver King” on his podcast, but has discussed Johnson’s steroid use while mocking his “ancestral” diet.

Johnson, who has more than 10 million followers, continued ranting in footage he posted while in cuffs Tuesday.

Wearing a burgundy hoody, sweatpants and an old-school tactical vest, Johnson was filmed as he was placed in the back of a patrol car in front of what appears to be a hotel as his wife, Bozena “Barbara” Johnson.

Minutes before his arrest, Johnson is seen frantically pacing around the living room with meditation music playing, talking about going to “prison,” being “arrested” and “fighting” Rogan.

Johnson’s cameraman — who is told by the fitness influencer to keep filming — says he’s dealing with the cops and advises “Liver King” not to take a knife with him as he tries to put a utility knife in his pocket. The ranting influencer then continues to call out Rogan to fight him.

Two people then enter the room and tell him it’s time to go — with Johnson bizarrely complaining about not being allowed enough time to “s–t,” pleading with them for 12 more minutes.

In another video, Johnson sips coffee while still calling out Rogan, with a box bearing the “The Joe Rogan Experience” logo on the table.

He tells everyone in the room that if he’s “arrested” the container with Rogan’s podcast logo should go to the “Mothership,” Rogan’s Austin comedy club. In the clip, he is seen holding a black ammo can.

Johnson then instructs the cameraman — whom he calls Justin — to ensure the video is uploaded to the internet before calling his two sons into the room, where they discuss a “free Wi-Fi password,” which they appear to claim jokingly is “F–k Joe Rogan.”

The “Liver King” then calls his family over for a group hug and prayer, moments after emergency sirens can be heard in the background.

Officials have not yet confirmed that the arrest was over Rogan, who moved to Austin in 2020 to get out of California during the pandemic. The UFC commentator lives in a massive, $14.4 million home, according to Realtor.

Johnson famously denied using steroids, instead crediting his diet of animal testicles, liver and fertilized chicken eggs for his Greek god-like body.

But he was exposed for being on steroids and human growth hormone in late 2022 after leaked emails revealed he had been spending $11,000 a month on muscle-building drugs.

“I fully own that I f–ed up … I lied,” he said in a confessional at the time. “Yes, I’m on steroids.’
