Incident Details
Logan Paul recently stormed off mid-episode of his own Impaulsive podcast, aired on November 21, following a quip referencing his controversial "Japanese forest" visit.
The joke stemmed from Paul sharing a story about a strongman losing a tug-of-war to kids; Majlak mimed "rope," cueing Mongeau's remark tying it to the "suicide forest" at Mount Fuji's base.
"Mike is acting really goofy right now. 'Rope' gives me the perfect opportunity to drop my classic joke about the suicide forest Impaulive, he [Majlak] set me up for that. That wasn’t even my idea, that was your buddy right there."
Paul left the discussion as Majlak and Mongeau laughed on.
