Why Influencers Get Rewarded Despite Dishonesty

Episode 2706 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the recent documentary about the "Liver King," and how it is "ick on the highest level." https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/ick-on-the-highest-level-epsiode-2706 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - 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!
