Time to unleash the lion.
So did you see anabolic steroids becoming the it topic at the tail end of 2022? I’ll be honest, I did not. I thought vein poppin’ spray tanned big ol’ muscles were a relic of 1988 and, while they might still exist in odd subcultures, would not be major surf news. But here we are and all thanks to Brian Johnson.
Johnson, better known as the Liver King, recently came out as a steroid user, shocking his many fans who had believed that he had crafted his arms, chesty, abominables through the consumption of raw animal guts and raw animal guts alone.
It turns out that he lied, was on steroids and continues to be on them so as to help young men not commit suicide.
While professional surfers became intently curious if these blast from the past hormone boosters could help them paddle battle harder or maybe strengthen the spine and allow for dropping into Teahupo’o, notable surf personality interviewer Joe Rogan has made it his recent mission to publicly out potential users who are keeping their secret secret.
He began with Conor McGregor, declaring that his urine would burn a hole in the drug testing cup, before turning to Hawaii’s Snicker King Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson saying, “The Rock should come clean right now. He should make a video in response to the ‘Liver King’ video. I need to talk to you because The Rock’s been lying. There’s not a f—ing chance in hell he’s clean. Not a chance in hell. As big as The Rock is, at 50? He’s so massive, and he’s so different than he was when he was 30. There’s a responsibility you have to people who are listening to you. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s one thing. But if you do talk about it, there’s a responsibility you have to people listening to you and I think you have to be honest about it, which is why I’m honest about it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking hormone replacement.”
But what do you think about that?
Will it scare Filipe Toledo off or no?
I think it shouldn’t as Rogan casts no moral judgement and it doesn’t appear that the World Surf League has a serious testing program.

If he wants to take steroids, then let him take steroids. I’d take them too. He’s still a beast and works out like one.
I’m glad that I don’t listen to this clown! I can’t see why anybody else does? Rogan is on PED drugs, and has been for years! What Dewayne Johnson does is his business! He not fighting or under any type of sanctioning body. Rogan is a huge pimple on a rat’s Richard!
I like the athletes all juiced up, makes for more entertaining sport.
down at the crossroads…trying to shag a ride
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy
Take me, if you please
“Just piss in the cup, song bird!”
Bali boyz be bangin international tourist girlz on herbs is more appealing than Dwayne staring bug-eyed at the Baywatch girls…i.e. More Bali High. Ban The Rock!
Poor meatheat Rogan and his sad preoccupation with other people’s bodies, what a fucking tool.
whats your dims bro?
Chas, are you slow—I told you the ‘real story’ is surfers taking uppers during a heat—surfers don’t want to bulk up, (so obvious too)—they want to ‘speed up’ their reflexes to react to the breaking wave—to do more maneuvers. (paddle faster too).
Sam! Say it ain’t so. I thought they all gobbled psychedelics to improve the surf dance?

…”and now the matador will dance with the blind shoemaker”…
a nod is as good as a wink, to a blind man…
“just piss in the cup, poetry man.”
Get your labs done, get on the sauce and become super human. It works well for surfing. I see guys shooting themselves with HRT on construction sites and car parks almost everyday.
Rogan is right – nothing wrong with doing that. Just be honest about it.
i was going to kill myself the other day
then i found out an older man lied about taking steroids
buoyantly i jumped into the abyss
and found out it only came up to my knees
Maybe i will make banana bread laced with steroids today?
no bananas on the boat, Tom!

2 Rocks!
I honestly could care less what anybody else does although this liver king was annoying me so happy he got called out. The news these days is so pathetic. I will say this though. The celebs if you want to call them that who are annoying me even more than LK are Harry and Megan. I wish they would just fuck off.
I’m for one am enjoying Harry’s inadvertent dismantling of the Royalty.
Word. Not a fan of them either.
hum, arg…cough…whawha…white-priviledged TO THE MAX! well, not Meghan…she is THE VICTIM!
Bill Murray as Roosevelt greeting The Royals after being snubbed by passerbys on the road…
Hyde Park On The Hudson…
In the mid 80s I watched Queen Elizabeth and the other guy pull their 727 into Santa Barbara Airport only to be greeted by Ron & Nancy…guess it was a big deal ’cause the FBI body searched me. (was employed there.)

Bro – what are you watching?
Whatever my wife is unfortunately.
Honesty will get you nowhere round here, mate.
Ouch!
The Liverpool king (prince).
