In the bizarre tirade, the influencer said he was picking a fight with Rogan.
Cops in Austin, Texas, have confirmed that Liver King, whose real name is Brian Johnson, faces a terroristic threat charge, as per the NBC affiliate KXAN-TV.
“Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you,” The Liver King said in the video.

“I’m not gonna train but I hope you’ve been training,” he warned Rogan.
“I’m ready whenever you’re ready. This is actually happening, it’ll be fun.”
Liver King warned that he would make Rogan pay.
