Logan Paul Walks Off Own Podcast After Guest Makes Him 'Mad'

Warning: This article contains mentions of suicide that some readers may find upsetting

Logan Paul walked off the set of his own podcast after a segment involving co-host Mike Majlak and special guest Tana Mongeau.

Mongeau, an American internet personality, made an appearance on this week's Impaulsive podcast as the trio spoke about a number of subjects, including Jake Paul's upcoming fight with Anthony Joshua.

Another talking point from the show was a segment where host Logan Paul walked off set after he spoke about one of MrBeast's recent videos, which was titled: 100 Kids Vs World's Strongest Man.

MrBeast organised a tug-of-war match between 10 men who compete in strongman competitions and 100 kids, and to everyone's surprise, the children won the competition with relative ease.

After Paul brought up the use of rope in said tug-of-war match, co-host Mike Majlak tried to persuade Mongeau to make a joke about an incident that happened during Paul's trip to Japan in 2017.

Paul received significant backlash when he visited the Asian country for a vlog, which was initially posted on New Year's Eve in 2017 before later being taken down.

The Prime co-founder and his friends visited the Aokigahara forest at the base of Mount Fuji, known to be a frequent site of suicides, as part of the YouTube video, and incomprehensibly decided to film the body of a man who had sadly taken his own life.

YouTube cut some business ties with Paul, who was 22 at the time, and he later apologised on Twitter, suggesting that he was "misguided by shock and awe".

On the latest Impaulsive podcast, after the mention of rope was brought up in conversation, Mongeau said: "Mike is being really silly right now."

She added: "Rope is a good time for me to make my classic suicide forest joke while I'm on Impaulsive. He tried to lay me up. That wasn't even me. That was your friend, right there."

After a back-and-forth with Majlak, Mongeau proceeded to say: "I will say, I went in today and I was like, 'Do I throw it in' and no pun intended, you are low hanging fruit."

Paul proceeded to get up and walk off the set while Mongeau and Majlak were laughing. "He is mad," said Majlak. "It's a very sensitive topic for him."

Dwayne Johnson stopped speaking to Logan Paul after Japan incident

Last year, Paul spoke about how he lost the respect and friendship of his idol, Dwayne Johnson.

Paul was speaking to WWE icon John Cena in an episode of his podcast Impaulsive and became emotional when discussing the incident at Aokigahara forest in Japan.

Speaking on the podcast last year, Paul said: "I would've considered us acquaintances at least. He was great, and then Japan happened. I could go into so much depth about my remorse, the place that I was in and the faults that I made at that time in my life. I had to really rewire my brain and backtrack and ask myself how I let that happen.

"What went wrong in my life where I thought that was ok? I've had to do a tremendous amount of therapy to figure out what happened, or didn't happen, in my life that was so traumatic that [I could do] that."

He went on to explain why The Rock was keen to cut ties with him, referring to the fact that Johnson's own mother had attempted suicide in front of him when he was just a teen.

Paul added: "DJ (Dwayne Johnson) was one of the people I hurt because of his mother's experience. I hurt him so much so that he basically wanted nothing to do with me. And rightfully so. I let down my hero.

"He requested that I remove all the content we've ever done together and basically kicked me to the curb. |t was such a low moment because I knew I let myself down, I knew I let my fans down, I knew I let my family down. But my idol too, it just stunk so bad."
