Ick On The Highest Level

• Anna and Vinnie recently watched the documentary about the "Liver King," whose real name is Brian Michael Johnson.
  • Vinnie identified Liver King as a steroid user early on.
  • Anna didn't pay much attention to the Liver King before. (4:00 )
  • The documentary revealed egregious lies and unsafe practices.
• Dessicated liver supplements can be great for you if you choose not to eat liver.
  • But just like many other supplements, there are good brands and bad brands. (6:15 )
    
    • Anna created a list of takeaways from the documentary.
• The documentary is called "Untold: The Liver King" and is currently available on Netflix. (8:15 )
  • What you see is not what you get. Vinnie and Anna call out what didn't make sense in Liver King's reality show.
  • The Liver King has been exposed as making unsavory decisions in life.
• Vinnie and Anna have been podcasting since 2012 and have previously been nominated for awards. (27:00 )
  • They discuss the ethics of some influencers in monetizing their platforms.
• Some of the information exposed during the documentary was that the Liver King was taking approximately $11,000 per month in steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. (38:00 )
  
  • Steroids are dangerous—they can be deadly. Pro bodybuilders have died because of them. (40:00 )
• Supplements like dessicated liver can be beneficial, but vary widely in quality.
  • Dessicated liver *with fat* is the optimal version to purchase.
  • They are great to have if you don't eat enough meat, or if you don't care to eat liver. (44:00 )
• Anna is learning to make her own yogurt. (47:00 )
  • Making yogurt and kefir is interesting, very cost-effective, tastes great, and is great for you!
