Even when giving a heartfelt confession, the Liver King will NOT put on a shirt.
HAHSHDH PLS
I literally can't picture him in a shirt. Does he even own one ???
Shirts can’t hide LIES
@@curlyhairblacklilacs or his muscles, cause I’m pretty sure he can’t fit into any shirts.
he probably doesnt own any shirts 😭
He even called Danny “Primal Danny” but it was all a lie 😭
Edit: I see we’ve all come to agreement that Danny is still Primal Danny no matter how many steroids the lying king took
Ngl I literally cried laughing when he said that
Danny is still a primal and don't you ever fucking doubt it.
@@AdaptiveApeHybrid I love you guys 😭
@@chihuahuasarecool7880 we're all gonna get through this
@@AdaptiveApeHybrid yes this is beyond betrayal to primal Danny and to us. Yet I know we will make it through
The way he says “before all of this, I was rich and anonymous, and after all of this, I’m still rich but no longer anonymous” is so funny
Oh my god I thought you were making fun of the way he said it which is still hilarious and then 2 seconds later I hear him say this exactly verbatim
Yeah, bragging about how much money you have is actually the way for people to disregard your apology entirely.
@Shayne Perkins For real! He just says it so straight faced that I can't help but laugh at the lack of self awareness there
@@bluevioletandlilac
Yeah like its not cool that he does steroids and lies but it's not as bad as some other things on here but the bragging kinda makes it feel disingenuous it definitely gives the vibe he's only making the apology to get people to back off and he's not actually sorry for lying which is shitty...
He really does deserve the name Liver King though. His liver is a king for surviving all of that.
"oof 💀"
- the liver king's liver in a couple years probably.
Lmao
Hepatic _burn_
More damaging to the kidneys though

Congrats on top comment
male body dysmorphia and eating disorders are seldom talked about, I thank you for addressing the subject with tact and empathy.
Yeah, he’s a guy who’s 45 approaching his 50s and his prime years are past him and he’s trying extend those years with steroids. I think it’s more of a pride thing, like he believes that he can still look better than guys half his age (which is true, he looks better than 99.9% of men). But In reality it’s perfectly fine for your physique to get worse as you age that’s what’s supposed to happen.
true as shit i'm non binary but i was raised a man, and i've struggled with bulimia for years and years, and mostly got made fun of rather than helped if anyone found out
@@Solznmid he looks better? Nah, he looks unnatural. There is nothing attractive or good looking about a man who takes steroids and looks like a blob of muscle. You may be into this weirdly muscled look but it does not mean that the rest of us are. And it mostdef does not make this man look better than all the other men. Wtf bro
Yes, you're right. A lot of people don't give it as much attention when it's about men, though that's in part also the fault of men with fragile masculinities influencing other men into thinking they shouldn't have feelings...
@@Solznmid Honestly I prefer leaner men (much leaner, like for me Danny is pretty good) , I don't know if it's just me
While I was watching this video my grandpa walked in and said : "oh you are on Skype with a friend , I won't interrupt" and I am just sitting here laughing my ass off
lmao that's adorable
you should get burgers with your grandpa.
My Grandpa came in ones when I actually was on Skype and then told grandma "The poor boy finally completely lost his mind. Now that he's even talking to that box!" Grandparents are so adorable. Miss them every day.
That is so cute omg I love it ❤️❤️
This comment made my day 😂
this series has been an emotional rollercoaster. like damn danny and liver king went from enemies to lovers and then back to enemies quicker than a tiktok-approved YA novel.
i don’t think they’re enemies, i don’t think they ever were.
@@notamberleehaha fair enough. they're definitely not on great terms tho
@@thenetherbaddie9760 you in a group chat with them or something?
@@redwizxrd no but i do watch danny through his window all day and judging from all the crying and meat punching he does in his free time (when he buys raw liver and punches it into a pulp) he seems quite upset :(
@@thenetherbaddie9760 hope he feels better soon 😔😔
Liver King may have self esteem issues, but the way he presents it in his apology is ridiculous. He did steroids for the people who harm themselves due to self esteem issues. He then told those people to buy his stuff so they could be big like him. He knowingly set an impossible standard and preyed upon vulnerable people to make a quick buck. This apology is just damage control for his reputation, he's an asshole.
Yeah as soon as he brought up self harm I got angry.
His apology was garbage but isn’t the whole point of an apology damage control and to make amends? Just asking
@@fartyturd4084no, apologies are because you think it’s time to come clean about it, also if you’re genuinely sorry?? do you apologize to your friends so they don’t think lower of you or do you apologize because you actually are sorry lmao
@@fartyturd4084 depends on what you mean by damage control. in a sincere, genuine apology the damage you'd want to control/amend is the harm you've caused other people; in a bad, self-serving apology the only damage you care about fixing is that which you've done to your own reputation.
Yep. Exactly this.
Danny isn't angry, just disappointed... and we all know that's much worse.
He’s not angry. He just feels betrayed, his trust was completely thrown away. He will never trust another Brian ever again. He needs to avenge not only himself, but the entire world. We are all counting on Danny, he will do what’s right and DEFEAT LIAR KING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! RAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Do you see The bags under his eyes he don’t look like he doing too well
When danny is disappointed, he will trade you for a different couch and different decorations :(
@@joekicka5590 his eye bags are way better then mine
I don’t really get how the liver king thinks he’s helping with the issue of low self esteem. One of the main things that cause stuff like that is seeing people online selling their lifestyle by lying to make it seem attainable. He’s making money off of the exploitation of people who he claims to sympathize with
This is why I doubt his apology is sincere lol
I hope he’s faking it, because I can’t bear to imagine the day he figures out that he’s made the problem much worse and how it’ll make him feel
He's one of the most miserable people I've ever seen. I don't want advice from someone who is so utterly lost. All that money, a family, and the body he's been obsessed with achieving and he's still deeply unhappy.
@@aarondavis8943 well-said
I mean he absolutely could've deluded himself into thinking he's helping and still have low self-esteem - he just needs to have very low self-awareness. Human beings are very hypocritical a lot of the time.
He may not be the liver king. But Danny, you’ll always be our Liver Queen.
He's a true Liver Warrior
I'm surprised his liver hasn't failed considering how much roids that dude puts on his body
Liver princess 👸
@@endless2239 Maybe that is what makes him the Liver King.... being able to withstand all those steroids.
The best kind of queen. A liver queen.
I've always loved bodybuilding (as a spectator obviously, I'm a couch potato) but you really get the sense of how much body dysmorphia runs in these kind of communities. Liver King's original email is about "all the stubborn fat on his back and love handles" and he sends photos and he looks exactly like he does now. He was already taking three times the normal amount of steroids.
Body building communities can either be insanely wholesome or very toxic. Sometimes the same group can be both at different times.
The normal amount is none!
@@deepsea5348 not really, if you had no testosterone, you’d have no muscle to begin with
@@deepsea5348what? there are naturally occurring steroids
It sucks how much beauty and strengthening cultures take advantage of peoples internalised fatphobia and self esteem issues, especially if you are fat/plus-size
The fact that Danny has every right to feel personally betrayed by the Liver King and could easily just be like "yeah he's a p.o.s." but instead chooses to throw in concern for his well-being is one of the many reasons I love Danny
Yeah.
"Personally betrayed"?? What the hell are you talking about lmao? Are you 12? What a ridiculously low IQ comment haha.
because he's a kindhearted fellow
Danny really can’t feel betrayed because it was crazy obvious that he was rounded to hell
@@corielldoghc most people actually don’t know what sort of physique is possible without steroids. It’s just not the sort of thing that the average person is aware of, even though it’s sort of basic knowledge.
It really was so fucked to be like "guys I had extreme body dysmorphia and that's why I abused steroids 😢 that's also why I started a business to sell supplements and a lifestyle brand that's unhealthy using my roided out body as an example to prey on men with body image issues :((((("
Fr, whether he does or does not have body dysmorphia isn't super important because either way he's feeding into the problem & getting money from it while doing it as well.
Literally like he's using his body dysmorphia to give others body dysmorphia ??
It's a mental condition, it has nothing to do with what you actually look like. People with eating disorders also don't see themselves in the mirror accurately which is why they do what they do regardless of their current appearance. He claims to have some deep insecurities, and considering you're not in his brain, you shouldn't claim that he's bullshitting. You can emphasize with jacked people too ya know, they're still human beings.
its an explanation that he's using as an excuse.
This is one of the more important videos you’ve made Danny. It’s completely hypocritical for him to bring up suicide rates, imply it’s because of people’s dissatisfaction and insecurities, and then paint himself as the cure for it when he himself promotes unrealistic standards.
Amen, man.
Yep. Him being incredibly insecure as well
yep, it felt like he only brought up suicide rates to deflect from what he did wrong. If he actually cared about mens mental health connected to body image issues he would push therapy and healthy coping mechanisms, not a ridiculous lifestyle and workout routine while lying about the results and secretly taking a bunch of steroids.
What he does would only harm mens body image issues, hes not helping anyone and bringing up suicide rates like that is fucking gross
Yeah, he has most definitely worsened the problem! Promoting a life for gains that can’t be achieved, he is part of the problem. If his mission was to lower suicide and mental insecurity rates, he epically failed
FACTS
I don't care that he's on steroids, but telling Danny to eat liver covered in syrup as "dessert" was absolutely diabolical
It’s so funny even more now
@@bcc5701 fr lmao
He was trolling 😭
I’m pretty sure he did that cuz he was annoyed with Danny from the first vid of him
Lmfaoo yeah that’s nuts 😂
“I hate my body because of unrealistic expectations” *takes steroids and then says you can look like him (insanely shredded) by spending money on him and eating raw nutsack*
Yeah, the fact anyone bought that shite astonishes me. The only way his apology coulda been worse is if he broke out the ukulele or interpretive dance
Love that Danny refers to syringes as "steroid needles"
As a former junkie, I often thought of my rigs as ‘heroin needles.’🤣
its because hes not smart.
@@brettlinthicum6649 how dare you insult Danny
They sell those at the pharmacy too, it's not exactly underground
Yeah, they just sell syringes at places like CVS, Walgreens. Lots of medical conditions need them, like diabetes, and they’re also readily available to reduce disease among drug users. Also, it’s weird Danny just accepts Liver King was only doing steroids, despite the emails saying otherwise. LK also shows signs of Palumboism.
C
my dad used to be a body builder and still works out and has told me about how he sees himself. he says he‘s seen himself as “skinny” or “small” (he’s definitely not) and that’s part of why he works out still. he also said a lot of guys works out because of body issues. i don’t think it’s brought up nearly enough.
Straight up body dysmorphia lmfao
Most hard core gym bros definitely have body issues and eating disorders. Measuring everything you eat is is not normal.
Fr my father used to be the same and then got injured. It sucks to watch a parent go thru that. I think there should be more awareness to mens body dysmorphia
@@miminaomi9844 💯💯 being conscious of what you eat is good. Obsessing over it (or anything, really) is not.
Muscle dysmorphia is the specific condition, just fyi.
The fact that Danny lived like him for a day and it turns out he was faking it all is truly unforgivable
He never said he doesn't actually live like that i think he does i just think he used to get as jacked as he is you still have workout like a demon to get that physique
ok?
@@seanharrison6162 I feel like he probably has a real bed and how can we believe if he actually only eats liver?

liver kings over no more videos
Can we just take a moment and appreciate how Danny is still rather respectful to the liver king? Especially the part about body issues. He comes across as so sincere and that he wants the best for the man. This is a very respectful take on an exposure like this
Come for the schadenfreude ... stay for the remarkably humane and compassionate response video.
Danny is a nice guy through and through
Exactly. I think this had some excellent nuance.
Right?? Props to him.
I was going to say the same thing! This was a very well worded and gentle update that doesn’t poke fun at his body image
Danny really let him go lightly with this. Dude's a wealthy grifter who just justified his self promotional grift with suicide stats.
Yeah and by doing so probably bringing more young people to those suicidal stats, because they can't achieve the goal he promotes
I think it’s because he saw through the apology down to who he really is and wanted to talk about the underlying issues more so than his bullshit excuses
@@xxxstellarxxx I’m glad that he made the video somewhat positive, but if the liver kings steroid use was only about his insecurity there wouldn’t be a problem. He didn’t lie because of being insecure he lied to make money off people who were insecure which is pretty gross
And he claimed to be a fake natty, though everyone knew he was unnatural anyways
because people are celebrity obsessed and are afraid to call celebrities out. hes pathetic.
Okay but thank you so much for addressing that, my ex was on steroid and god damn gorgeous and nothing was ever enough and the steroids, mental illnesses and body dysmorphia led him to suicide , no one ever talks about the worst thing that can happen
I'm so sorry and I hope someday we talk at least a bit more about men struggling with their body image and needing to be perfect without making them feel bad about being vulnerable. I'm so sorry you had to go trough this
So sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss
Thank you 🤍
The one thing that truly bothers me about the apology is the statement that he never expected the amount of attention he got when he actively sought out attention. I truly feel for him, insecurity is a hard beast to defeat. That does not excuse lying to sell a lifestyle/products. All we ask for is transparency. Honestly, his story about his battles with his views on his body are more endearing and moving than him lifting weights and eating e. coli.
Absolutely.
Truly
Exactly
That's absolutely how I feel as well. It just seems wrong to have tried to sell one's lifestyle and product lines through a fabricated image. Fine, I'll accept a fabricated image if it makes you feel so much better. The guy's gone through hard times, and that's alright because I can't take that away from him because I'm also human. However I'm sure that the next step after this apology (and I don't know if he's done this or not by now) should be to reformat his channel to never mention the 'liver king' lifestyle in a way that tries to promote it or put it up ever again, and to never bring in his products as part of the lifestyle that he's trying to portray. I think he's genuinely an 'alright' guy, but he's more aligned with a lot of 'alright' guys who find a little success in the business industry and get carried away and lose a bit of their morals as they go. Out of all situations where public figures have 'lied' about something, this is what I consider a salvageable situation.
I truly hope the guy figures his life out, he seems like a good dude, I just hope that his reflections on life also include the dubious nature of his past activities as an influencer.
Coming from someone who has always had major issues with self esteem and body image, thank you for being sympathetic on that front. It's so true that no matter how you look, body issues will plague you if you don't address your mental state. I don't wish it on anyone and I hope that if you've ever had to deal with that, Danny, you have been able to move on from it. This is one of those videos that made me want to give all the Gregs a big hug.
yeah I agree. all jokes aside, I'm glad Danny addressed that part which is huge in the body and fitness community where so much is connected to looking a certain way no matter how ppl try to act like its not. I have my own issues with that for sure and I wish all of Gregs the best success with accepting us as we are, or at least most of the time.
that's why I hate when people lie about being on steroids. obviously people want to look like that, and it's unachievable. so when people try to get that kind of physique and can't get there, I'm sure it does numbers on their mental health. I wouldn't be surprised if that has caused ED's in a lot of people.
ok?
@@Sausager shut up😂
It's conflicting for me because I have empathy for this dude, but I'm also just floored. The messages and practices this dude put out through his platform could lead to people (particularly uninformed, vulnerable young men who make up a decent amount of his demographic) to develop eating disorders and other unhealthy habits.
Its kinda sad how Brian pretended eating raw meat and sleeping on a wooden plank will make you absolutely ripped, but its even sadder that Danny tried it
It’s just weird that he does all these things but still takes steroids like if you’re just going to take the steroids anyway why live that way
@@TBK7914 He probably somewhat believes what he is saying, and this lifestyle probably makes him happier. Doesn't make him healthier though; the steroids fucked up his body permanently
@@TBK7914 who knows if he actually lives like that? Could just be lies to get viewers.
I thought that was just for content.
@@Schnort I don’t think he would mention all that in a private email to his steroids dealer if he wasn’t actually doing those things
It makes sense that the gym trainer not only realized he was on steroids, but warned you without you asking- there’s a lot of misinformation about health due to beauty standards. I’m sure she gets people all the time trying to achieve unrealistic expectations like that, so she needs to tell them off the bat that they’re not going to get that physique without steroids.
As someone with anorexia, Danny's points at the end were so validating. I see disordered body issues in the Liver King. Remember exercise can absolutely be unhealthy if done to excess or for the wrong reasons.
Ok let’s try not to play internet psychologist
@@igm4437huh?
the first reply is referring to the commentor saying "i see disordered body issues in the Liver King." personally don't agree with the reply, but yeah.
mood. people send d*th thr*ts to teenage girls for talking frankly about the illness they live with, but shower gym bros with praise for putting their obviously disordered behaviour on tiktok. a woman saying Anything about anorexia is "glorifying" it and she's evil, but a man can post video of himself fainting and bonkers WEIADs and he gets encouraged. which is an awful situation for both of those people, because men end up thinking its normal and never getting help
Its pretty hard to over exercise though
I remember watching the iconic Disney movie The Lying King for the first time. The part where The Liver King got tossed over a cliff was so sad, I’m still crying.

Yeah
Aw he wants to help me find enlightenment.
Danny is gonna be so fucking jacked
Find enlightment 💀
I’ve been in and out of treatment for an eating disorder and body dymorphia and things with the Liver King always felt very off to me but this whole situation very much proved it, obviously I can’t diagnose him but he clearly has some issues with body image and possibly food and exercise that he needs to address. Thank you for the sweet message near the end there, Danny, you’re right, changing your appearance isn’t truly going to fix things in the long term.
Thank you, I feel a lotta sympathy for him… when he talks about his routines outside of promoting the brand he just doesn’t seem happy. Every time he is candid he says it’s hellish. I know that’s just part of working out, sometimes, but he just seems to be really pushing a limit.
Wouldn't be surprised. Body dysmorphia is very common in that community.
The king is back Danny
I hope his kids are okay, the fact that he said that they were eating the same stuff really worried me. That would mean they aren't eating things like porridge, juice, fruit and pasta etc, normal things kids should be eating for a balanced diet.
I feel bad for the guy, but goddamn did he real have to monetize his body dysmorphia?? How many other people did he influence into thinking this way of viewing yourself is "normal".... I hope he gets help and I hope he tries to *actually* help the people who listened to him, instead of just selling them suppliments
As someone who deals with those mental health issues on a daily basis I am grateful to the lover king he really showed me I can succeed at anything as long as I cut corners and lie about said corners.
Don’t you just hate it when someone turns a random UA-cam comment section into a sympathy show? If you’re genuinely struggling, then talk to a therapist, don’t bring it into a UA-cam comment section.

I feel like the liver king was so close to self-awareness here, but he doesn't quite reach it. He talks about how his insecurity drove him to do all this, without ever making the final leap that maybe the reason why it hasn't worked is because insecurity and anxiety is often detached from external reality. if you aren't kind and accepting toward yourself in all your potential forms, then no change to your body is going to give that to you.
Exactly. He came as close as he could to taking responsibility for the damage he's cause people by lying and encouraging them to live a lifestyle that's a complete scam without actually taking responsibility. He just used the "I have mental issues" cop out. And the worst part is that it's going to work. People are going to accept it and he's going to get away with setting up his fans to fail. He gave them advice that he KNEW would never work, and would even be counterproductive, just for greed. And yet people are going to feel sorry for him, not the people he convinced to live a lie
This is a wonderful articulate comment and its very timely and helpful, thanks

Lying to me is one thing, but lying to Danny is unacceptable.
The extra funny/fucky part of him talking about "I don't even know where to get this stuff" is that you DIDNT NEED TO GET ACTUAL STEROIDS FOR THE BIT DUDE. That is such an insanely expensive prop for no reason just put some olive oil in a baster and stick it in the meat and go "teehee its roids".
If I asked my friend if he snorted coke and I showed up to his house and he had a buncha yayo on the table and he led me to a pile of actual cocaine and said "no I'm joking I don't do cocaine this was my other friend's idea I don't even know where to get this stuff" I am 1000% convinced they do coke at that point. That even sounds like something a cokehead would do.
Fucky?
His "apology" video is one of the worst I've ever seen. He talked about men's mental health as if he didn't completely lie to his fans, most of which are probably men, and cause them unreasonable expectations about what you can look like if you just eat in a certain way and train a lot
right, he's trying to sound really reflective on the issue when he .. is perpetuating the problem.
this is exactly how i feel! what an awful scummy thing to take advantage of other people’s insecurities and then act like a victim when people call you out on it. it almost feels like he’s making light of depression
Yeah, pretty twisted apology, especially the part about doing it for the suicidals. I was engaged to a man who ended his life and had body insecurity issues. This dude taking roids wouldn’t have saved him. Steroid use can actually increase suicidal thoughts and actions, so go back to your hidey hole and mainline some raw sausage, caveman.
Danny said He did a good job apologizing though.
@@universalpower419 I don't agree. He apologised just because he got caught and didn't seem to be truly sorry. Penguinz has a good video about it
I absolutely love how instead of completely shitting on the guy, you had thoughtful advice for him. I just recently came across your channel, and have been watching pretty much all your videos. Your "bad boys on TikTok" video was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I usually find UA-camrs annoying and contrived but you seem extremely genuine, and act like a real person. Most importantly, you don't treat your wife like trash or an accessory. You guys are super cute, and it's wholesome content that's right up my alley.
damn, the bar's that low eh
It may be a low bar but it’ll rise overtime
You may like Kurtis Conner, Drew Gooden, Chad Chad, or NickIsNotGreen! Idk the algorithm is probably already suggesting them, but they’re all people I feel like really live in this nice niche on UA-cam ☺️ hope you find more content that makes you laugh!
If you like danny, you should check out Jarvis Johnson, Kurtis Conner, Chad Chad and Drew Gooden as well!
Is it a norm for UA-camrs to treat their wife’s badly or something???
As someone who also doesn’t feel right in the head until I’ve put in some physical work in the morning, thank you for inspiring me to work toward becoming a supervillain.
Good luck with your evil efforts x
good luck, we believe in you!
We all support your dreams!!
It’s gross that he would go,for the sympathy by using the subject of s&*c*de
I knew this was coming grabbing my wine and sandwich now. He tricked you into eating raw ba lls Danny!!
@RedStar 123 stop
@RedStar 123 🤥🤥🤥🤥
@RedStar 123 stop lying
@RedStar 123 😢
@RedStar 123 that’s awesome
He doesn’t seem to realize that this isn’t just “darn I thought this guy was natural” he’s literally been scamming people by selling products he claims to have lead to him looking as he does. Blatant lie.
honestly my favourite part of the apology was him going "i'm rich" multiple times
yeah, that was so weird lmao. like, why even bring that up? makes one question how genuine this apology truly is...
i'm transmasc and on prescribed testosterone and you can get the needles and syringes at pretty much any pharmacy because people also need them for legit reasons lol
personally i order them online from a local chain of pharmacies because for injections into the muscle you need 40mm needles which isn't as common. personally i do pink needle (18G) for drawing the meds and black (22G) for injecting, which is the smallest gauge you can inject oil based meds
Fr. I thought the same thing. In my city, these needles are available in almost all pharmacie
i LOVE how Danny is like so forgiving and then BAM he talks about the messages and how he went through hell of the fake routine
The ending section about mental health was really sweet. You're a good dude, Danny.
Frrr it was genuine and with good intentions
ok?
For real, I deal with self esteem issues, my doctor suspects I have body dysmorphia, and that really made me feel better. He brought up points I hadn't thought of before.
When I heard about the news on Liver King, the first thing I immediately thought of was you Danny. The betrayal, heartbreak, I can't imagine how much suffering you must be going through. Head high, Primal!
GUYS HE SAID “this was my camera’s man idea” HIS CAMERA IS ALIVE!!! 6:59
The thing that irks me the most is he spent so much on a film crew and never hired anyone for audio
Damn, you’ve got a point. 🤣
I'm kinda of two minds about this whole thing. On one hand, it's a blatant violation of privacy to leak this guy's emails, but he's also an individual who has built a brand entirely based upon his body and personal life. So, he does have some responsibility to be transparent. And you're absolutely right that there's some deep underlying mental issues here that are not being addressed by simply changing his exterior to what he believes it should be. Hopefully, he gets the help he needs and can be more honest from now on.
Honestly I’m baffled it wasn’t immediately obvious to more people. Especially when Danny himself was told point blank by a crossfit trainer that he was on steroids
To be fair i dont think danny or many others are like. Excited about his emails being leaked. Theyre just reacting to the now public info.
He actively lied for years and took advantage of vulnerable people to sell his products then when he was called out he tried to guilt people into being on his side by hiding behind suicidal men. Don't feel bad for him, he's been nothing but openly manipulative.
@@DeathnoteBB it was except to the most vulnerable of his audience... Aka the people he sells his products too. (people with body issues and /or teenagers)
@@DogsandPennies It clearly wasn’t, as there were barely ever comments about it before the emails came out
I can't believe Danny is ending the year with such a heinous betrayal.
i really appreciate danny addressing the underlying mental health issue that Liver King both experiences and (advertently or not) perpetuates. i am obviously not a psychiatrist, but as someone who has been diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), i think Liver King displays a lot of its symptoms. obsession with food intake/diet, insecurities about physical flaws that are invisible to everyone else, seeking out invasive and expensive medical procedures to fix those "flaws", and over-exercising (sometimes as a means of self-harm), are all very characteristic of BDD. i know i have personally experienced all four. but, while i have empathy for Liver King's mental health struggles, it is unacceptable to advertise this extremely unhealthy mindset and body as attainable or even remotely positive. i now completely avoid exercise, diet, and lifestyle content for this very reason. even if it is not as extreme as Liver King, so much of it is BDD served up to audiences on a platter.
Hope you’re doing well
Something completely crazy to me about this- I am a trans dude taking the same testosterone drug he does and I take HALF what he does. When I switched to injections from a different form, I felt ragey and shakey at a higher dose and dropped it a little bit even because my blood work showed that my testosterone level was higher than healthy for an adult man. It feels like shit to be steroidy like that. I cannot imagine what it feels like to be on everything he's on.
I imagine it scales heavily with weight, and the guy looks easily 250, could also developed a resistance to them, needing more
That's just the hormones, not the steroids lol. I had steroids in the hospital because I had to be given a drip of a medication I'm very allergic to, and no fucking wonder he 'doesn't feel right in the head' without exercising everyday on that shit. I felt so restless and buzzed and like I really needed to run somewhere, I couldn't relax. And I imagine that's a low dose compared to him, plus the extra testosterone and for what? his self-image? Why don't we legalise giving depressed people coke or heroin, that would be great! just as harmful for your body but for an arguably better reason
Having a female body also makes your symptoms worse. Estrogen is crucial for bone health and tons more for the female body and throwing off that balance can increase a lot of health risks (not saying pursuing gender affirmation is wrong but it's very hard to balance and ensure health while messing with hormones, there are tons of doctors who manage). Female hormonal cycles are also different then male cycles so that would also effect his symptoms.
@@herb_rollshey for future reference say afab when talking medically about someone’s birth gender
Also, I’m aware that if you take too much testosterone, your body converts it into estrogen (not sure if there’s a difference in what level is “too high” for cis vs trans guys, but I know it happens to cis guys too). So I have to wonder if any of the adverse effects he experienced were a result of that.
At first I thought this wasn't that bad of an apology-video, because he wasn't sitting on the floor next to his bed, in a baggy hoodie, eyes red from crying, beard in a messy bun, but then he went the "this was an experiment to raise awareness about [insert bad thing that is happening on our planet]"-route.... Still waiting to see a genuine apology video like "Hey, I did this because I wanted fame and money."
yeah uhhhhh plot derailed lol
beard in a messy bun has me rolling
Well reddened eyes could be from some drugs maybe?
See, the thing is, I don't think he did this for fame and money, and neither did Danny. Well, I mean, he did it for fame and money too, but he even says in the video that he was already rich before this. It genuinely seems like he has some deep body image issues, and felt like taking steroids would fix his body. This guy would still be rich and totally jacked even without steroids.
@@LunatheMoonDragonthat is probably true
My favorite thing about his "sorry I got caught" video was that he brought up doing this for all the thousands who unalive themselves. Because when they do his program and are never able to reach that physic no matter how hard they try, that'll fix their self esteem and mental health 🤦♀️ Which is ironic because his low self esteem was the very reason he said he went on steroids.
Yeah, right? That was really shitty of him. He did it for himself and his _own_ self esteem issues, not for anyone else (and even then, he didn't actually put in the hard work required for that kind of issue.. he tried to take the easy way, the shortcut. Not saying I've never done that though lol). Idk why people always do this, making a good apology is not that hard. You just say you messed up, you know you messed up, you feel horrible about it, and you're willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you never make that mistake ever again. That's it. Don't try to minimize it, don't try to rationalize it, don't try to tell people they're "misinterpreting".
"Unalive" don't be fucking immature when talking about suicide. Say what it is, "suicide" or "they killed themselves". No one who has someone close to them commit suicide wants to hear some dumb soy drinking jerkoff refer to their act as "unaliving themselves" Jesus Christ.
Please don't use "unalive" as a euphemism for suicide. As someone who's been personally affected by that, it's really annoying and in my opinion ultimately harmful. I know maybe you're thinking about the youtube algorithm or something probably censoring something with the word "suicide" in it, but I'm not sure that applies to comments, and also even if it did, I feel an obligation to stand up against that kind of harmful censoring. It just feels a little insulting and infantilizing, not to be mean to you or blame you or anything like that, just trying to inform.
@@penguinsrbirds2 People use it because a lot of channels have key words they don't allow in their comment sections and the whole comment will get deleted. It's not a slight or an offense to survivors. Sometimes it's the only way to talk about it by having to use different words, unfortunately. It's just how it is on these platforms. And if someone is a survivor and needs to use a different word, let them, if that's where they're at in the process. If you need to say it, say it but it's already a difficult enough subject that we don't need to be policing how people discuss their trauma. If a word is triggering to say for someone, that's their journey.
@@penguinsrbirds2 bros never heard of a trigger before 💀
Imagine being against trans people but seeking out gender affirming care 😭
I can’t get over how funny it is that there seems to be no existing footage or even images of him with a shirt on
I honestly doubt that he even owns a shirt. Mans never getting chilly I guess
i never expected a video talking about how some jacked guy lied to make me cry. the way you talked about how changing your body won't fix everything made me really happy, especially with growing up as a fat kid and having everyone tell me that i need to change my body to be happy so thank you danny
Not to be that guy but mental health issues shouldn't stop you from having a healthy functional body. It's a right imo to be healthy. But maybe because I don't have that right, I can't understand how can anyone reject it and want to be fat and unhealthy to be happy.
you don't have to understand it. just respect it.
@@رزيئة you have no idea just how hurtful your words can be and you're absolutely That Guy; if you haven't lived the perspective of how hellish EDs are, respectfully get out of people's business? don't assume being thin = healthy and happy; i've found myself at a point in life where i was as thin as i was "supposed" to be and everyone around me complimented while i was just driving myself to death with how little i was actually taking care of my body. years later i've gained some weight and giving my body the energy and love it deserves, and i've never been better. my health has never been better, either. health is physical AND mental, always will be, and you've no business telling people how to live their lives in their bodies
@@رزيئة You completely missed the point. It's not that being fat=being happy. It's that happiness comes from so much more than how you look and people shouldn't be promoting the idea (especially when they're hypocritical liars) that you can only be happy with yourself if you have a certain body type or appearance.
@@رزيئة not the fucking point my dude. I know your an health nut and you want people to be healthy aswell. But that's not the fucking point. Point is that you should be happy with the body you got and not fall into a depressed state because you hate how it looks.Especially when its out of your control or is increadibly difficult to control. You can be healthy and still hate how you look and even if you werent healthy, a stranger should not be the one telling you this. Somebody that knows you should be the one to do that. Like a family, a friend or a doctor.
Honestly Danny thank you for being so honest and real about body issues. I am tired of people excusing it as a society and normalizing it - changing your body might change your health or make you feel physically better which is great, but it will not change how you feel about yourself. You shouldn’t accept yourself only if you have a “perfect body”. You are beautiful just the way you are, as cheesy as that sounds to say. Super important message!
Mental health is just as important as physical health. This guy needs a therapist, not more steroids. But I think being in the spotlight will just make it even more tough for him to want to get the help he really needs; it would ruin his entire brand (though I wonder how many deals he is getting cut from now because of this)
🥱
😴
No, exercise is extremely important, you don't need to be a top tier athlete. Being a little chunky is one thing but don't be fat, love yourself for things you can't change, like height, facial features and skin tone.
@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 I think you don't understand what their trying to say 💀

After re-watching this later, I honestly feel like Danny would’ve been way less gracious about this had he not had interactions with The liver king directly prior. Because honestly, this guy has probably made thousands upon thousands of dollars off of this scam, and Danny is focusing so much on his supposed body image issues. This Man committed massive fraud.
As a man with heavy mental issues relating to body image myself, I find it kinda sad that his reaction to low self-esteem is torturing himself trying to reach unattainable ideal, and not going through therapy and realising he's enough the way he is and he doesn't need to change to be happy. Of course training and bettering yourself is generally good, but there are limits when it can become unhealthy
I feel for his self image and esteem issues, and it's actually really refreshing that he's admitting that he took steroids as a crutch to fix that problem. Now if he can just recognize that he'll need to work on his mental health through therapy or self reflection this could actually be a great move towards redemption
It was a deflection so he wasn't criticized for profiting off of lies anf vulnerable young men. If he really wanted to he he could have donates money and lived a clean and honest lifestyle.
There are tons of bodybuilders that take steroids that are very open about it so they don't mislead those that admire them. Nobody really minds because they are honest about it. When you lie and steal money from those you claim to help is bullshit
Most people take steroids for that reason, like look at zyzz. He was small and skinny, so he tried changing that, and once he got to a certain point he took steroids
@@douggieharrison6913 there are people that do take them for them having body dismorphia that claim they're natty.
And also that he needs to stop promoting these dangerous ideas. He also needs to stop pushing this onto his kids as apparently he got a cps visit.
@@Chiller-pc1dv What is cps?
So that means that the true Liver King was Danny himself all along
the real liver kings were the friends we made along the way.
What friends of yours are livers
I feel like working out so much to the point that he's crying and passing out, is a form of SH? Since he's saying he's self concious about his body and stuff it feels like a form of... that? Am I crazy? Like if he's putting himself through hell, and saying he's dead afterward, and how much it like hurts him? And he's talking about self unaliving so it's like... I think he needs therapy?
The process of Danny slowly regrowing his hair is replacing the process of Drew’s blue hair fading on the list of reasons I have for needing to watch the Drew-Danny-Kurtis Cinematic Universe™️ videos as soon as they come out if that makes sense.
HAHAHHAH FOR REALLL
Can’t wait to see Danny scurrying around in a boxing ring on all fours with angel dust covering his face 😊😊
Danny drop acid and fight the Liver King challenge
omg retweet ❤️
I actually really appreciate your points you bring up towards the end. It is extremely important to figure what’s going on within you before you start putting harmful chemicals into your body and over pumping yourself with any sort of hormone can just be detrimental to one’s brain and development no matter how old. I just hope he’s doing a little better after coming out with the truth and that he finds what he needs to within to make him feel better. He’s actually really nice from what I’ve seen so
I personally think lying through his teeth to sell supplements to people with self esteem issues disqualifies him from being "really nice".
It sucks that he's suffering those issues, but that cannot excuse exploiting insecure people by promoting a dangerous lifestyle.
@@ajeenius7437 I understand that for sure and I agree. But technically, anyone with eyes and a brain would be able to tell this guy was on steroids. Everyone has lied before but that doesn’t mean they’re not nice. People go to Sunday services and get lied to during a sermon. People go to therapy and get lied to. People get lied to by their own parents, significant others, children, etc, but it doesn’t make them a bad person. This guy hasn’t hurt or harmed anyone by lying about his INSANE steroid intake. It clearly has mainly affected him.
ok?
Man actively lied for years and took advantage of vulnerable people to sell his products then when he was called out he tried to guilt people into being on his side by hiding behind suicidal men. It annoys me so much that people like you will ignore every single bit of context and focus on the "oh well he told the truth" (after being left with no other option). Stop applauding people for being openly manipulative.
@@ajeenius7437 the only defense I can think of is that perhaps up until a certain point, he didn't realize how vulnerable his audience was
Cuz he seems very vulnerable to the same stuff given the self esteem issues, but I'm not sure he'd recognize that he's vulnerable, ya know?
Am I the only one who doesn't see this as being anything remotely resembling a sincere apology? He's deflecting the entire time and making nonsensical excuses at every turn. He used steroids to push his physique to the max so he get get more attention online and make more money. Then he got caught and tries to pretend that he did it to help suicidal people. Sorry, but I'm not buying it.
I would believe that it's sincere but like the Colleen apology trainwreck, it's sincerely bad. He sincerely and genuinely is avoiding the problem and making excuses.
i am deeply sorry for the pain you must be going through. that all of us gregs must be going through. the fact that the lying king would even think for a second to lie to you. this is a dark dark day. i keeled over in shock when i saw this notification, and i still am. weak from the horrible retched news. the liver king will no longer liver on in my heart as the so called hero he was. don’t be afraid to weep. don’t be afraid to question everything. we are human. probably.
I'm so sorry he will never liver on in your heart. This whole thing made me drop to my kidneys in shock...
@@Mrs.Self.Distruct these liver puns are killing me
ok?
this is so funny to me
Oh no, I'm mostly liver. But I'm pretty sure my neighbors are full human. Maybe.
Ok but like, look at him. There was never any way in hell he was not taking steroids.
Exactly.
He reminded me of the little brother of "50 first Dates' that keeps saying he is not on steroids, but the joke is that he lisps and constantly does things that are appareantely associated with steroid-use.
I actually really respect Danny for kind of straight forwardly talking to liver king in this video in a way that seems genuinely concerned for him. I think it shows Danny's heart a lot. This is why I like Danny because I genuinely think he's a down to earth guy and I appreciate that quality in him
It's the Midwesterner in him ☺
This is the most aggressive apology video I’ve ever seen
11:12 Just so you know, that content warning appears to be timed incorrectly;
If you want to skip the bit with the trigger, please go to 11:52 instead
Glad you mentioned this! I was looking for this! Hope he notices !!
oh I thought that warning was from the liver king video because of the time not matching
Thank you!
The warning was on the liver king video not Danny's video
@@ehhhhh1377 well why would you say that? I looked up the video on yt to double check and thats not true
He brings up the trigger one minute into the video, and the whole video of his is 6 and a half minutes long; That trigger warning isn't there and there's no way it could be
I have been eagerly waiting for Danny’s response ever since I first heard the news. I’d have no idea who this guy was if it wasn’t for Danny, and I’m glad he’s following up!
Personally I thought his apology was just an attempt to save face and he didn't feel bad for lying. He flexes his wealth and tries to avert responsibility by acting like flexing his body and lifestyle is a way to help other's self esteem.
“He was more of a Liver Jester than he ever was a Liver King.” That line hits harder than it should.
I’m pleasantly surprised at how insightful this vid is. I feel like we don’t talk enough about the pressure that a lot of men feel to look and act a certain way. I feel like it can create a cycle as well. Insecure people get a platform, preach their own self doubts as if it’s fact, and in turn create even more insecure people.
It was pretty obvious to me that he was on steroids, but you brought up a good point Danny. His issues definitely stem deeper. Clearly he has a workout addiction and disordered eating. Making himself more and more jacked also won't help his self esteem, because it's still obsessing over the looks. None of this can be fixed by how his body looks. His perception of himself would need to change. I think a lot of people miss that aspect when it comes to a lot of body dysmorphia. Yes you can change how you look and be more satisfied, but it'll be temporary until you want to change the next thing that's "wrong" with your body. It's because fundamentally this stuff stems from more ingrained self-hatred.
Workout addiction? That's not a bad thing 😂😂
@@funkywunkywunker it actually is. Obsessing about exercising, exercising excessively, and feeling guilty, depressed, anxious or self-hating when you miss a work out or don’t work out enough is a part of disordered eating, mental illness behaviours, self-esteem concerns etc.. there’s a specific name for it I can’t remember , but it’s the same as obsessively counting macros, carbs, fasting or binges etc.
@@jostewart3192 nah man. Missing a workout? That's being lazy. Bahaha. Working out is good for you.
@@funkywunkywunker working out is good for you when it’s done for the right reasons, and safely and with an important balance between working out and healing/resting. If you truly believe it is a moral failure to miss one day or one work out then I hope you listen to what Danny says at the end of this video.
@@manager6826 ayo I'm obsessed with it. Why? Because I want my body to look better. That, my friend, is wanting to improve yourself. not a disorder. A disorder is hurting yourself to look good. And overeating/obesity.
Liver king speaking solely into my left ear meant a lot to me
This.
Thank you i legit thought I was going insane and was trying to see if it was just me or his audio was really balanced that bad
My right earbud is broken so I just thought it was normal
He sounds like he's sorry that he got caught, but not sorry that he lied. I also sense a lack of empathy. He's preying upon people who have self-esteem issues like himself by using a roided up body to market his brand. He could really use some therapy. 11k in therapy per month woud really do the Liver King some good.
note: to actually skip the suicide talk, go to 11:52. i think he forgot to change the time stamp after putting the sponsor in
We talked about this guy in my anthropology class when we learned about ancient humans and one kid asked if his life was similar to the ancient human beings. The professor looked up liver king and flat out said,"Oh he's definitely faking it, who would actually believe him" and the kid who asked looked pretty embarrassed. After class one day I mentioned the reveal that he was using steroids and how no one was surprised and she had a little laugh on the idea that he thought he could foul people
