@@liberalsrelstupido8349 Yet we still have thousands of years of evidence across cultures of reeds, straw, wool, and other cushion material being used to sleep on. If you like a hard surface, cool, but claiming that all of our ancestors slept like that and that's why you're doing it sounds stupid.
Imagine the luck of being born in a generation with creature comforts like mattresses and climate controlled homes and deciding to just be uncomfortable because of some perceived importance of "ancestry". Your ancestors would call you a dumbass for sleeping on wood.
@@liberalsrelstupido8349 Funny thing is that even then, Liver King didn’t even fully commit to living the Roman/Greek lifestyle for sleep since he added bare minimum cushioning so it’d technically account as “living da ancestral life” lol

I teach Ancient History and I think the Liver King has forgotten the gather part of hunter-gatherer society. His Paleolithic ancestors are probably as confused by him as we are
literally. there are so many ancient societies that rarely if ever ate meat. from what ik, the only communities that subsisted purely on meat were those that lived in frigid climates where plant life was sparce
Also saying “ancestral” is literally so vague😭 like is he basing this a particular time and place? Or is he just basing his whole life off of his stereotyped idea of “cavemen”
Fun fact: when the liver king mentions your "skin biome", what he means is the normal bacteria that just chill out on your skin. If you've ever heard of your microbiome in your gut (referring to the normal bacteria that help with digestion), your skin biome is like that but on your skin Edit: in case there is any confusion, your gut microbiome and your skin microbiome do two different things. I was just making the comparison to help explain what a biome, or rather microbiome, is.
Hey Danny, just to let you know I noticed some potential goofing-around directly after you finished telling us about your strict no-goofing-around new years resolution. I thought you might wanna hear about this incase you were unaware. We're here for you man, stay strong!
Seriously like…if you showed his videos to someone 2000 years ago they’d be so confused on why he’s not cooking his meat with fire, how the fuck he’s so muscular(steroids), why he doesn’t eat fruits/veggies, and why he CHOOSES to sleep on a wood box💀
Right? I'm presuming he's living in that modern house....with a fridge and freezer, and multiple rooms, and upholstery made of man made fabrics, an indoor bathroom, windows with panes... Yeah, he's LARPing living in the past. If he was actually living in, say, the Bronze Age, he would be cryyyying xD
As a historian, this is hilariously ahistorical. I assume he's aiming for like pre-history humans, but also the amount of meat he eats, the wooden uncomfortable bed. It's just funny
I was just going to say the same! Why do these paleo people always miss the gathering part of hunter gatherers? Besides, having dairy products means domesticated cows. Imo most of his diet should be plant based, then fish and other easily obtainable proteins.
I just love how completely wrong it is....prehistoric, and pre-agricultural human diet was primarily starchy roots. Yes they ate meat, but not every day. Most fruits that we have today did not exist back then, they were spread globally (meaning they would be inaccessible) and are seasonal, often only being able to be found for a week or two for each species. Conversely, root vegetables are abundant across the globe in many forms in each region. A big starchy root is a very successful evolutionary adaptation. So they are abundant, calorically and nutritionally significant, and accessible year round. Eat your veggies kids, and don't take the naughty sauce.
They also cooked the meat meat, cooking killer off harmful bacteria and parasites for at least the last two million years. Homo Erectus conquered fire millions of years ago. Cooking made food easier to digest as well allowing for us to have bigger brains…now we’re going in reverse.
Exactly. I was thinking he "has a disdain for technology", but then how would everyone else know how buff, strong, weird, and cool he is with his abnormal lifestyle?
People like this always underestimate how many vegetables ancient humans ate. They're always like "mm yes meat" when our real ancestors were eating every wild plant they could possibly find.
Literally though. A lot of human diets through history were mostly vegetarian. Eating a lot of meat in ancient times was a sign of major wealth and privilege.
He needs the true ancient diet: using up all your energy failing to hunt with a crappy spear, starving for days in the winter and accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms.
Y’all, “our ancestors” did not deprive themselves by choice. If they had the same resources available as we do, there is no way they would choose to sleep on a wooden slab and eat raw meat.
@@Cat-fq3pt Actually no! The average age of people back then was around 45, you’re right, but that didn’t actually mean most people lived to 45! Most people lived to around 80, like us, except a lot of people died as babies, so it brought the average way down. Great English by the way!
@@Brynwyn123 OMG Exactly!!! Meat was extremely hard to come by since you had to actually go out and spend pretty much all day waiting for enough game to come along and then the act of killing it and carrying it back was super difficult as well so....yeah
Yepp ! We have multiple microbiomes in our bodies. Our skin, our mouth, our armpits, our gut, this “Liver King” does say some true things but it’s so hard to take him seriously when everything else he says is so insane, illogical or inaccurate.
Apparently the supplements they sell are all based on parts of cattle. There is a cow liver supplement, which I'm assuming is made of cow livers. I dunno.
The bed thing is so funny to me. Even animals build themselves comfortable nests and 'beds' to rest in. Why does he assume our prehistoric ancestors didn't?
Because his knowledge of "our ancestors" apparently amounts to what he saw from Flintstones cartoons. He also, conveniently, ignores the fact that there's a reason that cultures around the world have feasts/traditions that center around eating an animal, like Thanksgiving. It's because being able to eat a substantial amount of meat had always been a special occasion, during our hunter-gatherer phase as a species. The only real exceptions would be, maybe, peoples that had easy access to abundant fish/seafood.
This is what drives me crazy. We are where we are today because who tf wants to sleep on a big rock. Thats why weve developed things and experimented with ideas. Humans are constantly evolving and trying to make living a little easier. Thats why we create things lmao.
Like does he think indigenous people just throw a slab on the ground and call it a day? Please someone tell this man to take any form of history class/anthropology.
His bed is actually pretty accurate though. My grandparents have a similar bed set up, which is pretty common amongst Indians. Although people from the past didn't just plop themselves down on rocks, they certainly didn't sleep on the huge oversized mattresses of today either.
@@voluntaryismistheanswer carbon is in all living matter (both plant and animal), so carbon dating wouldn't be a problem when archeologist come across ancient preserved veggies and fruits. But there's plenty of evidence that indicate ancient humans ate plants, just like meat. Usually the remains of these plants are found buried in baskets or preserved in the mud of archeological dig sites. Not to mention, agriculture itself is an amazing testament to relationship between plants and humans! Wild corn looks completely different to your standard domesticated corn for example.
@@caminey7455 I don't exactly know what the Liver king did but he got himself into some hot water. You're going to have to watch a video on him to understand what's going on
For those unfamiliar with fitness and nutrition: 1. The man is 100% guaranteed on steroids (which wouldnt be a problem if he'd be open about it instead of attesting his physique purely to his insane diets, lifestyle and most importantly obsolete, overpriced supplements etc) 2. In contrast to what he claims, consuming large amounts of liver can be a major health risk, particularly Hypervitaminosis A comes to mind 3. This should go without saying but consuming raw animal parts is also a large risk and will eventually give you parasites and food poisoning, the reason something like beef tartar can be consumed raw is because in the case of beef, most pathogens are found on the outer layer of the meat due to contaminations in the slaughterhouse (this is also why you shouldnt eat burger patties rare) I think his content is great to make fun of but its scary to think that someone might believe his horrible advice.
I’m really concerned about the fact that he’s seemingly feeding his kids raw meat and no vegetables as well. And potentially convincing other parents to feed their children that way.
Early humans: we eat bread, honey, and COOKED meat. This guy: RAW FLESH........ And several million dollar home, jet skis, and fully automatic rifles JUST LIKE OUR ANCESTORS!!
Yeah and the earliest humans had hunter gatherer societies and most of their food was gathered because hunts often failed and didn’t always bring back food at all much less enough for everyone to live entirely off it, so he’s literally just wrong
@@sleepysera That's going back about two million years. Those guys were not really the "humanity" we are today in evolutionary terms, which means that our effective ancestors never primarily ate uncooked meat.
The only “ancestral group” that subsisted on a mostly meat-based diet (that I can think of) were the Inuit, Yupik, and other indigenous groups of northern Canada. They’re a fascinating exception in that, over a long period of time, they developed a unique gut microbiome that allowed them to digest raw meat more efficiently than other groups.
I think there is something similar like that for people whose ancestors relied heavily on dairy products like hard cheesees and milk. Most people are somewhat lactose intolerant, but people with that background almost need at least a little bit of it. This kind of stuff is really interesting, it sucks that dudes like this ultimately wind up discouraging people from looking into it.
@@psychotophatcat basically if you have mostly British Isles, Nordic etc ancestry, lactose does absolutely nothing to you. As one of those people, it's great, I can have dairy with no consequences
@croaker I don’t think you know what subsistence means in this context… it just means to survive/feed yourself. Like subsistence agriculture means feeding yourself by farming (and was what most people did for most of the last several thousand years)
@croaker Homo Sapiens have always been omnivores. Other species of Homo- might have been less omnivorous, but none have ever been “hypercarnivores”. That’s simply impossible. Even obligate carnivore species like cats (big and small) sometimes eat vegetation to settle their stomachs. And there’s still plant life in even the driest regions of the world. The unspecified “tribes” you mention also forage and farm. Roots, legumes, and squash are very common in many Central African dishes. There’s a reason pre-historic humans lived in hunter-GATHERER societies. Hunting was unreliable; success wasn’t guaranteed. Foraging was almost always successful.
@croaker yes, gathering was a fallback when hunting was unsuccessful; I’m not disputing that. The primary source of protein and vitamin B12 in the human diet has always derived from meat and animal products. B12 is an absolute necessity in our diet, so I don’t disagree at all that humans have evolved to eat meat. My original comment was specifically addressing the eating of _raw_ seal/whale meat in humans from between 15,000-10,000 years ago. Compared to 3-5 MYA, our stomachs (and subsequent pH levels) evolved out of the ability to _efficiently_ digest raw meat - other than very fresh fish and beef. Cooked, dried, pickled, and spiced meat keeps for far longer than raw meat - especially in warmer climates (which is why spicy food is seen more often in civilizations closer to the equator). Before the advent of preservation methods, I don’t doubt that humans and our anthropological ancestors were closer to scavengers. I don’t think we’re in disagreement about anything. We’re just thinking of different time periods.
He's talking about when humans' life expectancy was 60 due to poor hygiene, diet, and exercise. Rarely anyone today is dying of Tuberculosis and the Bubonic Plague. 😂
The theory is that the first humans would have had to hunt every day and train their bodies to the peak of human condition to be able to live and be successful. What they don't understand is that humans, unlike animals, have always thrived through superior intelligence and not strength.
youre right but its just called nature lol. not everything is perfect and lives a full healthy life. every organism has parasites, diseases, mutations or adaptions, injuries, climate change, etc that can change or end its lifespan. humans are still animals.
He is absolutely, 100%, no doubt, very much on many steroids at all times. That physique and the way it looks on him is not achievable naturally, and him giving health advice while taking massive amounts of harmful steroids is completely hilarious and utterly delusional.
Idk how it works but could it be that he took steroids in the past but not anymore? Because otherwise I'm so confused about what's going on in his mind
this guy talking about his “skin biome” is like when my dad and brother talk to me about how they’re strengthening their immune system by eating stuff that’s out of date or not washing their hands
The future for your dad - Doctor: sir, you strengthened your immune system too much, you now have an autoimmune disease. If only you hadn’t challenged it so much!
Yee what your dad and bro do is nonsense I'm much smarter than that I use the "immunity system strengthening" excuse to not wear more clothes when it's cold when my mom tells me to
That would be beneficial if their immune systems were still...y'know, developing. Not really gonna do much for them now except give them a stomachache.
I took “biological dentist” as, his wife was born a dentist and has the typical chromosomes. Cisdentist. As opposed to being ADAB (assigned dentist at birth) but identifying as transdentist

Obviously. He is the product of technology like any other modern human. There is an implication that what is natural for us to eat is healthy but there is no real reason for that assumption to be the default position. We are unnatural and live longer.
It's funny how he claims to live "the ancestral lifestyle" by eating raw meat, when humans evolved as we did in the first place by cooking our meat. Insane.
6:14 dude really said “several professionals all gave us the same, consistent advice, so we, two average Folks, read A SINGLE BOOK and decided we know more than any doctor, then took our childrens’ lives into our own, non-medical professional hands. And you should too.”

Ah yes I remember when I heard all the stories about how my ancestors got jacked up on steroids and barley edible food while filming tiktoks in their modern mansions. Just glad someone is keeping the traditions alive.
I feel like these people that want to live “ancestral” think early humans had strict rules when they were literally just trying to survive. You can bet your ass if you gave early humans a memory foam mattress they would be so happy.
This dude seems to just want to live the stereotype of our “ancestors” or like a movie version of cavemen then what they actually did back then. It’s like a mix of some facts and mostly fiction
You know this dude actually sleeps on a real bed and eats more than raw meat for food lol, he's preaching "primal lifestyle" but has guns and jet skis. The irony of him saying "this is a phone-free house" while posting videos on a phone every day is hilarious. And those poor kids, man... I feel so bad for those kids, living like that.
and you know they’re not doing well either. top 95th percentile in academics and 99th PERCENTILE in fitness?? in my school, that’s really fucking low. and dad boasting it shows he was probably 100th percentile in academics
I sense this entire scenario is unfolding in SoCal. In which case the house is a one day rental and the kids are actors. Only the guns and jet skis are real.
I feel that it's necessary to mention for those people who are not into fitness that Liver King is 100% enhanced. The amount of muscle mass he has (like, Mr. Olympia level) indicates that he's using dangerously high levels of PEDs. Steroids and other PEDs also wreak absolute havoc on your cardiovascular health, which is likely why he sounds like he's out of breath all the time. So suffice it to say that his projection of healthy living is very contradictory to how he treats his body. All in all he's just another dime a dozen fitness influencer who tries to sell his products using his "ancestral living" shtick as a unique selling proposition, which is funny considering that, from what he shows in his videos, his training involves a lot of barbells and other modern gym equipment.
Was just about to comment about the constant heavy breathing, like, that's not natural healthy way for a person to be when they're just standing and talking and you definitely hear stuff and see news about bodybuilders all the time who've had to actually stop exercise and wean themselves off of all the steroids or they'd not survive a month longer.
Yeah it is depressing to be in the position of defending Steroid King but he at least has a grasp on nutrition (I'll still take my Rocky mountain oysters cooked, lol)
yeah, they're "honoring their ancestors" by rejecting all their inventions and trying to return to the most original state (idk when it stops, will the "ancestral lifestyle" people eventually devolve into homo erectus?) that our ancestors clearly wanted to get away from, considering they made all these inventions
Well,I heard there are arguments about the shape and how tight shoes are has drastically changed our foot shape. Which is true btw. But not sure if it's a bad thing exactly.
In fairness, modern shoes do some pretty nasty things to my feet and overall posture. I'd be perfectly happy and content 99% of the time wearing flat-soled sandals and moccasins.
Also, if people like this really cared about history, they would know many early humans were not jacked like this. The ones who were thin had a lot of lean muscle because they were constantly on the go when they weren't resting. Bulky muscle like his would slow you down and make you less agile which is not good if you're hunting and trying to stay away from predators like bears and big cats.
True! they also had a higher body fat percentage, and likely rarely exercised for fun... or whatever emotion Liver King is feeling as he collapses from the weights he's pulling.
Nope. “Early men and women weren’t just endurance freaks, they were also burly. Prehistoric agricultural women for instance seem to have upper bodies as strong as of todays collegiate rowers”-Vice

His wife calls him "the Bear" because I'm sure she secretly hates being called "Liver Queen" Anyways evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk has a great book debunking these "paleo" people called "Paleofantasy", dismantling these people's arguments about what "ancestral humans" did and why it's actually not great for you. Also, the fact he has no idea what EMF waves actually are or how they work is hilarious to me. As someone with severe allergies, though, I'm worried for those poor kids.

The oldest known mattress in history dates back to 77,000 years ago, and was found in the Sibudu Cave in KwaZulu-Natal in Africa.

@@elainelouve i think he’s modern ancestral😂😂
I just love how completely wrong it is....prehistoric, and pre-agricultural human diet was primarily starchy roots.
Yes they ate meat, but not every day. Most fruits that we have today did not exist back then, they were spread globally (meaning they would be inaccessible) and are seasonal, often only being able to be found for a week or two for each species.
Conversely, root vegetables are abundant across the globe in many forms in each region. A big starchy root is a very successful evolutionary adaptation. So they are abundant, calorically and nutritionally significant, and accessible year round.
Eat your veggies kids, and don't take the naughty sauce.
They also cooked the meat meat, cooking killer off harmful bacteria and parasites for at least the last two million years. Homo Erectus conquered fire millions of years ago. Cooking made food easier to digest as well allowing for us to have bigger brains…now we’re going in reverse.

The bed thing is so funny to me. Even animals build themselves comfortable nests and 'beds' to rest in. Why does he assume our prehistoric ancestors didn't?
Because his knowledge of "our ancestors" apparently amounts to what he saw from Flintstones cartoons.
He also, conveniently, ignores the fact that there's a reason that cultures around the world have feasts/traditions that center around eating an animal, like Thanksgiving.
It's because being able to eat a substantial amount of meat had always been a special occasion, during our hunter-gatherer phase as a species.
The only real exceptions would be, maybe, peoples that had easy access to abundant fish/seafood.
This is what drives me crazy. We are where we are today because who tf wants to sleep on a big rock. Thats why weve developed things and experimented with ideas. Humans are constantly evolving and trying to make living a little easier. Thats why we create things lmao.

His bed is actually pretty accurate though. My grandparents have a similar bed set up, which is pretty common amongst Indians. Although people from the past didn't just plop themselves down on rocks, they certainly didn't sleep on the huge oversized mattresses of today either.

@@voluntaryismistheanswer carbon is in all living matter (both plant and animal), so carbon dating wouldn't be a problem when archeologist come across ancient preserved veggies and fruits. But there's plenty of evidence that indicate ancient humans ate plants, just like meat.

For those unfamiliar with fitness and nutrition:
1. The man is 100% guaranteed on steroids (which wouldnt be a problem if he'd be open about it instead of attesting his physique purely to his insane diets, lifestyle and most importantly obsolete, overpriced supplements etc)
2. In contrast to what he claims, consuming large amounts of liver can be a major health risk, particularly Hypervitaminosis A comes to mind
3. This should go without saying but consuming raw animal parts is also a large risk and will eventually give you parasites and food poisoning, the reason something like beef tartar can be consumed raw is because in the case of beef, most pathogens are found on the outer layer of the meat due to contaminations in the slaughterhouse (this is also why you shouldnt eat burger patties rare)

Yeah and the earliest humans had hunter gatherer societies and most of their food was gathered because hunts often failed and didn’t always bring back food at all much less enough for everyone to live entirely off it, so he’s literally just wrong
fully automatic rifles are prohibitively expensive and require a class 3 dealers license. He does not have fully automatic rifles.
@@sleepysera That's going back about two million years. Those guys were not really the "humanity" we are today in evolutionary terms, which means that our effective ancestors never primarily ate uncooked meat.
The only “ancestral group” that subsisted on a mostly meat-based diet (that I can think of) were the Inuit, Yupik, and other indigenous groups of northern Canada. They’re a fascinating exception in that, over a long period of time, they developed a unique gut microbiome that allowed them to digest raw meat more efficiently than other groups.
I think there is something similar like that for people whose ancestors relied heavily on dairy products like hard cheesees and milk. Most people are somewhat lactose intolerant, but people with that background almost need at least a little bit of it. This kind of stuff is really interesting, it sucks that dudes like this ultimately wind up discouraging people from looking into it.
@@psychotophatcat basically if you have mostly British Isles, Nordic etc ancestry, lactose does absolutely nothing to you.
As one of those people, it's great, I can have dairy with no consequences
@croaker I don’t think you know what subsistence means in this context… it just means to survive/feed yourself. Like subsistence agriculture means feeding yourself by farming (and was what most people did for most of the last several thousand years)
@croaker Homo Sapiens have always been omnivores. Other species of Homo- might have been less omnivorous, but none have ever been “hypercarnivores”. That’s simply impossible. Even obligate carnivore species like cats (big and small) sometimes eat vegetation to settle their stomachs.
And there’s still plant life in even the driest regions of the world. The unspecified “tribes” you mention also forage and farm. Roots, legumes, and squash are very common in many Central African dishes. There’s a reason pre-historic humans lived in hunter-GATHERER societies. Hunting was unreliable; success wasn’t guaranteed. Foraging was almost always successful.
@croaker yes, gathering was a fallback when hunting was unsuccessful; I’m not disputing that. The primary source of protein and vitamin B12 in the human diet has always derived from meat and animal products. B12 is an absolute necessity in our diet, so I don’t disagree at all that humans have evolved to eat meat.
My original comment was specifically addressing the eating of _raw_ seal/whale meat in humans from between 15,000-10,000 years ago. Compared to 3-5 MYA, our stomachs (and subsequent pH levels) evolved out of the ability to _efficiently_ digest raw meat - other than very fresh fish and beef. Cooked, dried, pickled, and spiced meat keeps for far longer than raw meat - especially in warmer climates (which is why spicy food is seen more often in civilizations closer to the equator). Before the advent of preservation methods, I don’t doubt that humans and our anthropological ancestors were closer to scavengers.
I don’t think we’re in disagreement about anything. We’re just thinking of different time periods.

I’m an archaeologist who studies prehistoric hunter-gatherers. I can promise you none of them looked or ate like this guy
Obviously. He is the product of technology like any other modern human. There is an implication that what is natural for us to eat is healthy but there is no real reason for that assumption to be the default position. We are unnatural and live longer.
the irony of him trying to live like our "ancestors" while juiced to the absolute gills
Exactly
Liver Kids: “dad can we have chicken nuggets?”
Liver King: “Best I can do is raw beef”
nah bro that’s the liver peasants
this killed me
thank you
"eat your chicken genitals first!"
"we're tired of chicken genitals"
"CAVEKIDS LOVED THEM I'M THE LIVER KING!"
@@savannahhhh777 you’re welcome!
It's funny how he claims to live "the ancestral lifestyle" by eating raw meat, when humans evolved as we did in the first place by cooking our meat. Insane.
Right. This is what happens when people take “rare steaks are the only way to cook them” too far and just end up guzzling raw testicle
@@jazwhoaskedforthis I still cannot fathom why some people hate their steak even a little bit touched by heat.
Both raw and cooked
9:57 I know this is an old video, but..
*THE LITERAL EARTH GENERATES A MAGNETIC FIELD*
6:14 dude really said “several professionals all gave us the same, consistent advice, so we, two average Folks, read A SINGLE BOOK and decided we know more than any doctor, then took our childrens’ lives into our own, non-medical professional hands. And you should too.”
People like Brian Johnson don’t know the word “consensus” they only know “conspiracy”
Nah bc my dad works EXACTLY LIKE THIS. IM NOT KIDDING. people like this man will find ONE person who claims to have a title like doctor or professor who says what they want to hear and they will subscribe to every WORD and ignore any other person with physical proof they are bonkers 💀 its so painful
To be fair it sounded like the medication didn't work and they kept trying to get different medications but they kept getting the same one from the docters
Yep. Right wing conservative anti-intellectuals. What did you expect? You know they're against vaccinations and maybe even support Qanon. Bet they have some weird views about the jews as well. ^^ You can read these people like a book.

I like how he implies that children with allergies can’t be good at academia or sports
children with allergies simply do not thrive,,,,
as someone who's allergic to dust, yes indeed I'm not good at academic and sports.
As someone who is allergic to almost everything, I can confirm that I am not good at academics nor good at sports
@@artsintheam okay but same
I mean probably not as good but it doesn't mean they cant lol
the look of pure shock on danny’s dace after brian grunts in pain is priceless 💀
13:04 made me cry from laughing I wonder if he saw that video before shooting or if it was his genuine first reaction
I come back here every week just for that part (around 12:45 )
The way he's crying... It's okay man, you can still be the liver king and cry. We all cry.
Okay, so I just said it's okay. But yet, every time I hear him make noises like he's crying, I crack up.
Ah yes I remember when I heard all the stories about how my ancestors got jacked up on steroids and barley edible food while filming tiktoks in their modern mansions. Just glad someone is keeping the traditions alive.
It’s so sad that most of us are so detached from our primal way of living in a mansion with a pew
@@DiMagnolia totally most people now live in normal houses or apartments, shame no one is sticking to our primal mansion living days.
I feel like these people that want to live “ancestral” think early humans had strict rules when they were literally just trying to survive. You can bet your ass if you gave early humans a memory foam mattress they would be so happy.
all these languages and you spoke facts
This dude seems to just want to live the stereotype of our “ancestors” or like a movie version of cavemen then what they actually did back then. It’s like a mix of some facts and mostly fiction
You know this dude actually sleeps on a real bed and eats more than raw meat for food lol, he's preaching "primal lifestyle" but has guns and jet skis. The irony of him saying "this is a phone-free house" while posting videos on a phone every day is hilarious. And those poor kids, man... I feel so bad for those kids, living like that.
and you know they’re not doing well either. top 95th percentile in academics and 99th PERCENTILE in fitness?? in my school, that’s really fucking low. and dad boasting it shows he was probably 100th percentile in academics
@@abcdefgh-fb5ny that... means theyre in the top 1% in fitness. I think youre the one who needs to worry about their academics lol
@@abcdefgh-fb5ny I think you're thinking that 99th percentile means that they're at the bottom? It doesnt
I sense this entire scenario is unfolding in SoCal. In which case the house is a one day rental and the kids are actors. Only the guns and jet skis are real.
Nice pfp
Are you here because you watched the lying king and now you gotta rewatch this one
yeah
Si
I feel that it's necessary to mention for those people who are not into fitness that Liver King is 100% enhanced. The amount of muscle mass he has (like, Mr. Olympia level) indicates that he's using dangerously high levels of PEDs. Steroids and other PEDs also wreak absolute havoc on your cardiovascular health, which is likely why he sounds like he's out of breath all the time. So suffice it to say that his projection of healthy living is very contradictory to how he treats his body.
All in all he's just another dime a dozen fitness influencer who tries to sell his products using his "ancestral living" shtick as a unique selling proposition, which is funny considering that, from what he shows in his videos, his training involves a lot of barbells and other modern gym equipment.
Dude's sauced to the gills for sure.
Steroids and a diet that consists mostly of meat… I hope for his and his family’s sake that he’s not setting himself up for heart disease.
Nuh uh he said he was natty. He certainly isn't lying on the internet for clicks and money.
Was just about to comment about the constant heavy breathing, like, that's not natural healthy way for a person to be when they're just standing and talking and you definitely hear stuff and see news about bodybuilders all the time who've had to actually stop exercise and wean themselves off of all the steroids or they'd not survive a month longer.
Yeah it is depressing to be in the position of defending Steroid King but he at least has a grasp on nutrition (I'll still take my Rocky mountain oysters cooked, lol)
It still kills me how people like this refuse to wear shoes thinking “our ancestor’s didn’t wear shoes” when early humans made shoes. 😂
I can't imagine my early ancestors walking around barefoot during the Ice Age in Western Europe.
yeah, they're "honoring their ancestors" by rejecting all their inventions and trying to return to the most original state (idk when it stops, will the "ancestral lifestyle" people eventually devolve into homo erectus?) that our ancestors clearly wanted to get away from, considering they made all these inventions
Well,I heard there are arguments about the shape and how tight shoes are has drastically changed our foot shape. Which is true btw. But not sure if it's a bad thing exactly.
In fairness, modern shoes do some pretty nasty things to my feet and overall posture. I'd be perfectly happy and content 99% of the time wearing flat-soled sandals and moccasins.
As someone who refuses to wear shoes, I've heard so many bs claims about the benefits of walking barefoot over the years, it's frankly ridiculous.
Also, if people like this really cared about history, they would know many early humans were not jacked like this. The ones who were thin had a lot of lean muscle because they were constantly on the go when they weren't resting. Bulky muscle like his would slow you down and make you less agile which is not good if you're hunting and trying to stay away from predators like bears and big cats.
True! they also had a higher body fat percentage, and likely rarely exercised for fun... or whatever emotion Liver King is feeling as he collapses from the weights he's pulling.
Nope. “Early men and women weren’t just endurance freaks, they were also burly. Prehistoric agricultural women for instance seem to have upper bodies as strong as of todays collegiate rowers”-Vice
@@drcola143 Key word there is agricultural. Gatherer-hunters weren't agricultural they were horticultural at best.
@@dahkdm8787 yeah, probably during the Neolithic revolution
@@drcola143 So agricultural peoples lived completely different lives than peoples who would regularly have to forage for food. So your quote has no relevance.
00:19 i was not expecting that😭😭😧
Me either 😭😭

Hey Danny, I am a professional registered archaeologist, and in my professional opinion humans have never had an optimal time and we have pretty much always been fucked. Thanks!
Registered?
Thanks!
Our optimal time was before we started being Homo sapiens. Reject modernity, become Monkee
@@DarkShadows713 Nah. It was when we were single cell organisms. Everything after that was fucked.
I feel kind of bad for his kids. I get being allergic to a shit ton of stuff, but eating raw meat..... uhhhhh no.
Also, Danny, there are things living on our skin.
I would hope to god he would know that, or he just magically turned into the guy he makes fun of in his videos lol
without context that second line sounds so ominous
@loveutill theendoftimes not literally but salmonella is often in raw chicken and bacteria breeds on raw meat 👍
Danny has never heard of bacteria
Bacteria, mostly. The human bodies relies on a ton of micro-organisms to keep everything in balance, be it on the inside or the outside.
"They are not fit to eat like a king so they will be SIMULATING A FAILED HUNT" I'm dying djiskskskwk

His wife calls him "the Bear" because I'm sure she secretly hates being called "Liver Queen"
Anyways evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk has a great book debunking these "paleo" people called "Paleofantasy", dismantling these people's arguments about what "ancestral humans" did and why it's actually not great for you. Also, the fact he has no idea what EMF waves actually are or how they work is hilarious to me.
As someone with severe allergies, though, I'm worried for those poor kids.
Don't feel too bad. A lot of these online health people are full of shit & actually aren't dragging their kid's health down with there's. Probably why he dod.t have anything on the kid's plate.
The oldest known mattress in history dates back to 77,000 years ago, and was found in the Sibudu Cave in KwaZulu-Natal in Africa. The mattress was composed of layers of reeds and rushes, discovered at the bottom of a pile of compacted grasses and leafy plants used as bedding. This bedding was periodically burned, which researchers believe was meant to limit pests and garbage
Thank you for the history lesson
I always really like learning about little things ancient humans did that shows they weren't some sort of smooth-brained rage monkey some people think they were
And you can pretty much guarantee that that was not an early prototype, so mattresses are likely to be much older. Very interesting!
Danny's video topics are always the weirdest shit that I didn't need to see but they're so entertaining
Like badaddies
Haha totaly
@Mbita Acoustic Guitar the best way to reach 50k would just be to upload more, already being at 19k is really good, especially for a channel doing guitar covers, but asking for subs in replies wont really grow your channel. Just try to keep up on trends and upload more frequently because the next 30k will probably come easier than the first 20
Lol stop trying to get pinned
i have been following the liver king for a long time he is the greatest man alive
"I'm gonna live like our earliest ancestors, who ate raw meat, slept on wooden boxes, and drove jetskis and shot assault rifles."
