Everyone has the primal potential to be a self-made king through nine ancestral tenets

Everybody's born with the same primal potential to be a self fucking made king. Right? And so this is what this is. My job is, is to turn everybody into a fucking king, these nine ancestral tents that I model, teaching and preaching... sleep, eat, move, shield, connect, cold, sun, fight and bond.

This is a philosophical and lifestyle claim that is inherently subjective.

John Salley would still be playing in the NBA if he wasn't vegan

[John Salley] will probably still be playing in the NBA if he wasn't vegan. This is my counter. The name is liver king because liver is king. If you wanna be an alpha organism kicking ass in life, do what other alpha organisms do.

Biologically impossible for a 58-year-old to compete in the modern NBA regardless of diet.

I do not take steroids; I only take 'PEDs' which stands for 'Prioritize, Execute, and Dominate'

I take PEDs. Yeah. I prioritize, execute and dominate every, every fucking morning. Every morning... [I'm] completely fucking around guys [about the acronym].

Liver King was famously exposed in December 2022 for using real steroids (spending $11,000 a month on them), making this a direct lie.

Wearing synthetic clothes and using deodorant will tank your testosterone

If you wear petrochemical clothing, if you wear xenoestrogen-laden perfumes, the deodorants... you're gonna tank your testosterone. Your estrogen goes up. You have less muscle, more fat.

While some chemicals in plastics (phthalates) can affect hormones, the claim that wearing a synthetic shirt 'tanks' testosterone is not scientifically supported in the way he describes.

I would eat a human liver if animal sources were unavailable

I got no problem taking a liver from a human. Well... if I needed to, I would. I would've no reservation of eating... When I can't get liver from something else... if all the animals have been hunted... and I need my liver, I got no problem taking a liver from a human.

This is a hypothetical statement of intent about future behavior.

Sunning your balls can improve androgens and is 'pretty primal'

If you sun your balls, there is a study. It's an older study, I think it's from like the fifties or sixties that shows that it does improve androgens, not necessarily testosterone... I think it's pretty fucking primal. Right? I mean, we, we didn't evolve essentially with clothes... I think it's pretty primal to do.

While some studies exist on UV exposure and hormones, the scientific consensus on 'testicle sunning' as a viable medical treatment for testosterone is not established.
