How 1 Joke Collapsed A Popular YouTube Podcast 

Imagine being told you lack emotional intelligence by a man who laughed at a dead body.

George getting away from those scammers is by far the best thing for him.

I felt how George felt. Being made fun from a fake guy you just meet mostly because of your silence and then your "friends" laughing at you. The best thing you can do in that scenario is just leave and change environment

Bro bobby lee saying "without fame you wouldnt get that" about his girlfriend is the biggest projection ever lmfao

Shaq was being a bully wtf

Logan the scammer and Mike the yes-man truly is a deadly combo

Im with george here. What shaq did was so mean and direct and really affected George. Hes human too. Then paul and mike and bobby making matters worse especially the former two that are or were his friends really made the guy go through it. He was laughing through all of it but thats all he could do.

A little roasting between friends is always fine, doing it non-stop all the time... they aren't your friends.

George's first mistake was thinking someone like Logan Paul would ever be a good friend.

Really interesting that Sunny chose the perspective of making Logan look like the good guy. Clearly neither Logan or George are perfect, but George was also obviously in an environment that wasn’t supportive of him and anything he did. He was definitely used as the punching bag in the podcast

I totally relate to the situation with George being quiet and all the people talking are joking about you not talking, and making it out like you’re the odd one out. That shit makes me wanna cry Edit: yeah i get that he’s added to the podcast because they want an input from him, which he isn’t giving which is understandable, but that situation is just really shit

He genuinely didn’t do anything wrong. The problem was his toxic friends. Shaq was weirdly aggressive for his brand. Bobby was pushing it. Him leaving was unprofessional for sure but I don’t blame him.

They treated him like shit from the get go. His emotionally charged response is totally understandable.

George is the one friend in the group that constantly gets made fun of for no reason. And when he finally broke, Logan had the gaule to say he was lacking in emotional intelligence. Not to mention Bobby Lee insulting him the whole episode and everyone else just laughing at George. I completely understand his outburst

George is by far the most levelheaded and wisest person in that friend group

Three hosts is a dumb idea. It's a bad dynamic, everything turns into 2 vs 1.

The reason why many guests felt comfortable disrespecting George was because Logan and Mike created that type of environment towards him. As soon as he would open his mouth they would ridicule him and then later question why he would hesitate to speak more. Also, I don't think that the guests were able to get under George's skin, but it was his friends' reactions and additional jokes alongside the guests' jokes that hurt him because coming from your own friends (from whom you expect loyalty) can hurt a lot. They were never laughing with him but at him...

George was basically being bullied. This just reminds me of being at high-school where nerdy me would hang around with the cool guys and they were just nasty to me and pretended it was a joke. It's bullshit.

As a quiet person, being around someone like Shaq would be my worst nightmare 😰

That stuff made me incredibly uncomfortable. Those people lack empathy and class. I'm disappointed in Shaq too. I can't imagine coming out the other end of that like George did. Good on him.

For someone that's supposedly a "nice" celebrity, Shaq really gave him a hard time for just being quiet.

They used him as the butt of the joke to the point where they literally kept him around just to bully him and make him look stupid in front of millions I feel bad for him

The thing that stuck out the most for me is when shaq was criticizing him being quiet. Sometimes there just isn’t much to say. If you don’t have anything meaningful to say i’d rather you stay silent instead of saying some bullshit. Being quiet sometimes does not diminish your value, even on a podcast. He has things to talk about he just chose not to say anything for the betterment of the conversation, which I can respect.

Watching him pretend to laugh while being picked on and roasted is tough.

George’s first mistake was getting involved with Paul.

I promise you Bobby Lee making fun of him didnt bother him. But when your own "friends" laugh at and mock you infront of people, it hurts. That's what bothered George and he is allowed to feel disrespected.

All these people roasting george for not being ok with people talking trash about him is so sad. Im so glad he is where he is now

A bunch of "grown men" being immature and putting each other down for views. What's even crazier, people give them a platform to keep doing this by supporting their brands and viewing their content. What a time to be alive.

Getting advice from Logan the Scammer and his human Fleshlight, Mike, on emotional intelligence is like getting advice for a respectful and sincere apology from Colleen Ballinger.

Logan telling George to get a therapist is ironic considering Logan laughed at a certain someone in a certain forest

It makes me sick to watch how they bullied him and laughed at him. It was not just "joking between comedians" because so many of these "jokes" were purposely made to belittle and humiliate him on the show.

How can you laugh, if your best friend gets roasted and feels uncomfortable. Thats so f***** up.

It’s funny how sunny is really trying to make George look bad but everyone knows Logan and Mike are actually the problem and are way worse lol

Bobby literally set George down his own path. It was a blessing

George Janko is a pretty cool guy, if you actually have an open mind and listen to his recent podcasts. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it

Logan making a comment on George's views is interesting considering George's platform has over 2 million followers in less than a year where Paul's platform took 5 years to get to 4.5 million. And George is by himself. I think George will be just fine.

It's crazy how dystopian all this feels. Man basically gets bullied and put down by his shitty, douchebag "friends", then massively popular guests like Shaquille O'Neil and Bobby Lee jump on the lynching and degrade his self-confidence even more, and then he makes the mature decision and leaves, before getting mocked even further by his "friends". Then, SunnyV2 breaches the entire situation to bunch of people who didn't know about it, painting GEORGE as the bad guy, and LOGAN, the guy WHO LAUGHED AT A DEAD BODY AND WAS REVEALED TO SCAM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, THE GOOD GUY. What in the fuck, it makes me so mad

Honestly the way Shaq treated George was downright cruel. If you notice someone being quiet, maybe invite them into the conversation instead of being an asshole? That whole clip rubbed me the wrong way, ngl

Bro Shaq of all people know you have OFF days I mean bro missed every free throw his whole career but trips out when 1 of 3 hosts is quiet for 30 minutes? Shaq was insecure as hell

Sometimes you have to go through the fire to realise your worth. George did just that and he’s well and truly where he is supposed to be today. Kudos to him for walking away when he did without getting physical!

Honestly I feel bad for George, he's treated like an afterthought. They don't care for him or his feelings, they just want him for content and a punching bag

George's behavior and facial expressions leading up to him walking off the Bobby Lee episode are so relatable. He's slowing reaching a boiling point, and something seemingly insignificant causes him to leave, despite him not letting the emotions pour out. He painfully smiles through it till he needs to exit. I've been there.

It's insane because I remember on the 6ix9ine interview - which is Impaulsive's first biggest interview - 6ix9ine kept stating how George was such a good interviewer with his questions. And I remember seeing the same thing when they first interviewed KSI. George was a perfect addition at that time

I feel super bad for George. He clearly struggled to chip in and be part of the show, then taking his anger out on guests and causing a bunch of hate towards him. He just needed to admit he couldn’t get a word in, leave, and maintain his rep

All you've done is make me feel sorry for this George guy. He has fake friends that laughed when he was getting bullied instead of standing up for him

I don’t understand how a guy who scammed half of his fan following is any better than a guy who just stayed silent instead of letting others cross his boundaries. I don’t think George’s the one who’s wrong here

George Janko is such a kind and great guy. God bless him

I do understand that George was a bit to sensitive however, Logan and Mike did nothing to support him but instead they laugh and made him feel like he is not part of the team

A sensitive guy in a world of narcissists never ends well

He was alienated by the people who were pretending to be his friends. Dude is 100% in the right to leave those two clowns.

George: One thing that really hurt me is when you said I need a therapy becuase I believe in Jesus Logan: No I didn't Proceeds to say something even worse in my opinion.

You cant really deny the fact that George was treated very poorly by the co-hosts and the guests of the show. I respect George for handling the situation that well.

The worst feeling is being the friend that is "the joke" in a friend group because when you speak up about how it affects you then its just a joke and you're too sensitive and you're being too serious. Good on George for creating his own avenue I hope he stays the course

This guy is the only person who will make me watch a 10 min video about someone I never knew

Wait … so Logan Paul, a man with his own podcast, a WWE career (despite little to no background in pro wrestling), and his own energy drink *doesn’t* have ‘an overwhelming need for self approval’?

Not every fuckin sentence need to fuckin end with an A. IT'S SO FUCKING OBNOXIOUS-Aaa.

He was doomed to fail from the start. I respect the fuck out of George for putting himself out there and trying, the dude has a good moral compass and compassion. Logan and Mike have zero respect for anyone else and prove it every time they open their mouth.

George getting hurt that easily is very disappointing from a “comedian”. But also, the way Logan treated him is also extremely unfair.

George is too kind and real for this bigged up fake entertainment world.

Both things can be true, George can be mistreated but also not really be the right person for the job (unless he spends some time working on his interviewing skills). I think both sides of the issue handled things poorly.

Shaq was a complete L for putting him on the spot like that

George was definitely not the bad person here. He left because he realizes what kind of person Logan is. If you were stuck in a verbally abusive environment, where people always talk shit about you, then actions needed to be taken, that is surrounding yourselves with people who are genuinely good to you.

See, all this narrative of “George needs to not take things so personal, he’s so awkward and quiet”. Uhm. Maybe. Or, maybe…JUST MAYBE…every single guest on the show felt that they could just shit on him to his face, and his cohosts would double over laughing at his expense? U don’t see any of the guests talk to Logan or Mike like that. and I’m mad disappointed with shaq. Dude went full bully mode. He lays into George, which is fine, but when George finally replies and kinda admits he’s intimidated by him…shaq belittles him further. “30 min of silence and that’s all you can say?” I don’t like George. I think he’s kinda a try hard. But let’s call it like it is. He is the butt of most of the jokes made by the other hosts and their guests. That can’t be easy.

A real friend would not tease and laugh when others disrespect your friend like Logan.

Reading through most of these comments made me feel just a little better about humanity. This video makes George look like the bad one here, but if you actually have gone thru something similar to George, you would understand that it hurts and he is not in the wrong. he clearly had fake friends and i'm so glad that he chose to stay away from them.

I feel like George was probably scared to talk half the time because he was probably afraid of being bullied, and not saying the “right things.” This is so unfair. True friends would have your back.

Shaq need to chill tf out. those are fighting words

I’ve only listened to one episode of impaulsive , and George was there and it felt like they put him on the show just to have someone to roast. It’s like two bullies found the kid they can push around so the bullies don’t have to fight eachother.

Agreeably laughing every time his FRIEND gets roasted, actually reveals how desperate Logan and the other guy are for approval from others and to “fit in” with their guests. Minus the guest, then it turns into three’s a crowd…

Are you just not going to mention the fact that Bobby forced George to smell his you know what? That is a high level of disrespect and super weird

I know I'm late, but as an introvert, I relate to George's story. Ever since I was a kid I was the most insecure and socially awkward guy around, but tried my best in both my studies and social life. In high school, I was not the best at being a friend and was hostile to other students, allowing one of them to emotionally pick on me. This changed when I met my 3 best friends and they taught me how to embrace myself regardless of what the haters said. Because of that, even though I am still socially struggling with interacting with other people (specifically understanding social cues), I will forever be blessed for the friends that saw me for who I am and who I can become in the future. TL;DR: I understand where George is coming, which is why he should surround himself with other people who will uplift him to be the best person he can be. P.S. I get that George's interviewing skills are not the best, but Shaq REALLY did not help with this one.

Ngl, Logan treated George like shit. I feel bad for him, and im honestly glad he's doing well on his own podcast

Bruh I feel terrible for George, it’s like being invited to a party and everyone asks why you’re there. Man that’s hard, interesting how he tried to make Logan look like the good guy

All right random dude I've never heard of that's commentating The main reason George left is because Logan quite literally made fun of him and his religion and was more than brutal and in a non-joking matter about it he went out of his way to tell George that he needs a therapist that he's crazy for believing in something he's never seen and yet George's just trying to speak Goodwill and wisdom to the room I don't understand the persona of hating George because he wanted to defend himself but 160K likes I'm not telling you to change yourself I just want you to look at it cuz apparently it's working for you

I always thought George was the only redeeming quality of that podcast. I love his new show. I find him to be a much better conversationalist.

Logan is the last person who could genuinely criticize someone for their “emotional intelligence”, George is a hundred times better a man than Logan will ever be

it’s clear george is trying to do the mature thing and completely cut himself off from logan and mike, yet logan and mike can’t seem to keep george’s name out of their mouths

SunnyV2's dislike of George is showing hard.

An emotionally immature person, telling an emotionally immature person they're emotionally immature.

I don’t understand why Sunny is criticising George, when George is clearly being treated in a manner unbecoming of someone you’d consider your friend.

His silence every episode screams that he was afraid to speak in case he was made fun of. As it turns out not speaking made things worse. George seems like he was being quietly bullied behind the scenes.

Title: one joke. The video: Many incidents leading to the joke and following.

This was a truly horribly done documentary. Trying to paint a picture and make your own narrative never works when it comes to telling stories and journalism, because people will always find out the truth. For the Bobby Lee instance, the guy basically SA’d George. Grabbed his head and made him smell his balls while also flashing his penis at him. You could clearly see that George was uncomfortable. At the start, George was very active in the podcast, I watched a lot of the episodes when he first came on and the year after and he was always responsive and talkative, but what is very noticeable is that the closer he got to Christ and decided to take his faith more serious, the less he talked, the less he had to say, and I believe, the less he cared. The whole instance with Shaq, Shaq was being incredibly rude and just being a jerk, and of course every time a guest jumped on George, Logan and Mike would immediately followed suit, that’s not friendship at all. Logan and Mike are loyal to the views and the entertainment industry. I think it’s pretty sad that almost every video I saw on George left out so many key details. The falling out between George and Impaulsive was clearly Logan attacking his faith and never showing signs of backing down. Now George is doing better than he ever has, and has seen the most success in his career. Please next time do a better job at painting an ACCURATE picture, and not the narrative that everyone else is saying and you just want to follow along. Do better.

George was always the butt of every joke from people he called friends. Eventually those jokes got meaner and meaner, he was the bigger man for standing up and leaving the group.

It’s so weird how they mock George for talking too much but when he stays quite he still gets mocked

It's a horrible feeling to be treated that way with your "friends" and you feel like they should be the ones to have your back but everyone is laughing at your expense. It hurts.

This is a situation that coul've been handled two ways: George could grow a pair, or people could've given him sympathy instead of pushing him deeper into the mud I mean to say: if anyone had stepped up to be the bigger person, the conflict could've resolved.

George deserves better and look at Logan acting all high and mighty like he didn't recently just SCAMMED people 🤦🤦

Anyone who thinks George is in the wrong should volunteer to be the third host and take all the punches the main hosts throw. Then we’ll see how well you perform under that pressure

I feel for George in how he reacted, how things affect him and his general personality because you know you can't really help who you are; who knows what his backstory is or what kind of trauma he's fighting. But he shouldn't have put himself in that position. He'd been there long enough and been through enough bad interactions to realise it's not a good fit and make a plan to address it...

The Bobby Lee incident was truly George's fault. If you can't finish what you started, dont start it. George was the one trying to assert his dominance over Bobby first and Bobby got him back hard. Bobby is a far more acclaimed comedian and deserves respect. He's not gonna roll over to a lesser comic. However, I suppose you could say that the Shaq episode caused him to overcorrect by making him think he needed to be a bigger personality next time. Just goes to show you how a little bit of bullying can drastically shape an entire life.

i can’t help but feel bad for George. i’ve been through situations that are similar to him. people telling me i’m too quiet, making fun of me in front of others, i really do wish him the best. know that that people he surrounded himself with were absolute trash.

Logan is the problem....he has zero emotional intelligence, he's a bad friend, on the edge of being a sociopath.... George is actually a good person

This comment section is really weird George is a podcast host, he does need to give some input, ask questions, he wasnt in a school cafeteria, podcasts host’s can’t be “shy”, also Shaq and Bobby was making jokes. Bobby especially, George was making jokes about him, and Bobby was doing the same, it wasn’t an one side thing (like Shaq)

Shaq should be a bit wiser than unnecessarily dissing and embarrassing someone (anyone) like that in front of people. Still I think George also should've taken the (hard) joke in a less personal way, as a comedian. I would've been enraged by the way Logan and Mike (my supposedly best friends) were laughing off over me like that. Now, George has his own show which actually has substance for the audience, unlike impulsive which is 90% of the time about porn, girls and drugs.

I feel bad for George. He was worn down over time, Bobby was just doing what he normally does but I can see that it really hurt George.

I'm with George with this one. When you feel insulted by the people around you it takes a lot of discipline to just walk away and not make a scene. What do you want him to do? Get mad and go wild? I wouldn't want to be friends with people who'll laugh when people make fun of me even if it's just a "JOKE".

Props to you, Sunny V. You made me watch an entire video about three people I could give less of a fuck about and made it interesting. Peace to you brother.

Wtf was shaq on about? Ive never seen him treat someone like that. Totally unnecessary.

This is a classic case of bullying. A shame the uploader doesn't see it this way. Be nice to your friends and if you feel they need help, help them.
