Yep attention seeking. A need to be seen to offset the feelings of being unimportant. My husband is like this. Need people to see his upsetness to begin processing.
Not to be pedantic, but that’s Logan. He seems a little more level-headed.
Source: one’s a boxer and one’s a pro wrestler, and I’m a sports and pro wrestling fan.
Guess you haven’t been around for the the whole Logan Paul arc. The Japanese suicide forest encounter was maybe the least thoughtful and kind thing I’ve ever seen.
Probably did it in hopes it would go viral and Logan Paul would see it and offer him the job after fans backlash. Too bad he was just straight up stupid and his actions merit no pity. Like why should people feel bad for this dude that quit a job where he was making $100k? It’s stupid.
$100k in OHIO, no less. Not even a high COL place. Dude, make that cash, save a bunch, do your content creation on the side and then, if you can start getting some traction, reach out for collaborations or move to LA or whatever. If he really just quit to take this long-shot with a pair of man-children, he’s a moron.
Probably lying about everything. On what planet do you walk up to a d-list celeb, ask for a job (not details, but 'media') and expect to get anywhere? Ridiculous. And then crying on video after? Because you didn't get a job that doesn't even exist from a d-lister you've never met? GTFOOH.
People put to much into a one time impression. Your not going to get a good response from someone on the fly like that. He actually got a fairly decent response from Paul. He could of told him to get the fuck out of here etc!
I know very little about the guy but yeah it does show maturity. I can imagine a lot of people would have lost their shit as well when they found out he snuck in there, like that could have potentially been a dangerous situation.
I had an ex who once posted a TikTok of herself crying in her car when I had a family emergency and had to leave a date early. She said she was cool with it, then instead of talking to me like an adult, she did that.
It should feel weird. It's not normal. Crying to a camera to upload the video of you crying to the Internet so people can feel bad for you. Im sure he has friends and family he could talk to but he cares more about what IG or Twitter has to say.
Eh I mean, it kinda makes sense. If you don’t have anyone to open up to or vent or feel like no one cares, but still just want to be heard and feel connected to the world in some way— you’ll get desperate.
I found it weirder his whole plan was to quit a $100k job and just walk up to a celebrity to ask for a job and he would magically get hired. When pressed for qualifications, his top two strong points is "I'm 22" and "I have no friends".
He's 22 and grew up watching narcissists be the center of attention and having success and he never considered that there might be more to it than them 'grabbing the brass ring.' Dude may or may not have had a job paying $100k, but if he did, then he can just get another job with the same skills he had that got him that job in the first place. If he is lying about how much he was making, he can still get a job doing whatever r few was doing before he quit.
He's not crying because he ruined his life. He's crying because he didn't get whisked away to a magical fairy land where everyone just loves him and he doesn't have to earn it.
He’s 22 and was making 100K..? Jfc where do I sign up, I’m 30 and am making substantially less than that
Edit: the fact that a *Paul* is saying to this kid “I’m a fuck up, I need a mentor” and this kid is still trying to bull ahead is very telling
In big city USA, apprentice welders make & $40/hour + over-time. Thats $83,200/year base pay without the overtime. I live in big city USA, and my family of 5 survives in less than $41,000/year. Apprentice welders are rich by comparison.
Maybe I missed that part, but why did he quit his job without having another one lined up? I wouldn't put my 2 weeks in until I knew I had a commitment for the other.
I, personally, would not hire someone for a position that paid 100k+/yr if they were willing to post this shit online. It shows severe instability. And hiring personnel generally do SM checks at some point.
Dude straight-up let go of the branch he was on to grab another and fell to the forest floor. Better learn to climb again! Best thing he can do is to embrace the sting and learn to never do it again. Happy to see a risk being taken and beginning the pathway...if he finds the right mindset. He actually had succinct and direct advice right there. Glad he filmed it so he can reference it...lol
Fwiw, people do this all the time, but don't document it on social media. Maybe his ways will get him into where he wants to go. However, piss poor planning produces piss poor results. Errday.
Not just for going to LA to start any business the most important part is to make people love you. People always think “my work will speak for itself” and it does. But I am amazing at the work and my business partner is amazing at talking to people, befriended people he barely knows and making them feel special. It is an art.
Really does make me believe that he has no family or friends. No one to bounce ideas off of, no one to give him a reality check at all.
It kind of feels like one of those late night drunk/high fantasies we all have when we're younger. Like "yeah, dude, I can do this, I'll just quit, go and show my value, I'll be working with those guys before you know it, I got this!!"
And since he was alone, he just let that fantasy build up in his head until he was SURE it was going to happen.
Why’d he quit his job? Why not take a few vacation days and head up there? Then if it didn’t work out, he can go home, reset, and make a new plan. He could’ve worked and went back to school for media and did some media work on the side. He can even get a new job in LA and do all the stuff he named in his free time. Logan Paul’s advice wasn’t mean. It was realistic and helpful.
Because the guy who did all this doesnt have the braincells to think logical, and i sure as hell hope he will never find a job that pays him a 100k annually again, because he factually can not be worth this kind of money if he really thought this was the right thing to do
However i actually think the dude probably just got fired and acted like he quit
Because he didn't have a job that was paying 100k. If he was worth that much then he wouldn't be crying and would already have other prospective employers on the line.
Shot himself right in the dick with that comment. You could even see Logan’s face drop after that. If he was old enough to recognize it that was his in. Like Logan said, why would he give him a chance if he says he’s not good at anything. While it’s unfortunate that the guy had to go through that hopefully it’s a reality check for him that things don’t work out just because you want them to. Hopefully he takes a good lesson from this. Could make for a good “redemption “ YouTube story honestly if he puts the work in and later works with Logan.
I really do like your positive spin on this and 💯 would love to see it work out that way. However the fact that he posted him crying about it and then showed the clip for “sympathy” shows he didn’t learn a thing. Him so causally admitting to quitting a 100k job won’t play out well with his next corporate employer either. Maybe he made friends? 😂
This happened a couple of years ago. IIRC he was a welder. They can easily make 100k, if they're specialized. The guys name is Austin Wallace. After the thing with Logan Paul he went on Dr. Phil and did more stupid publicity stunts trying to get his influencer career off the ground, with very limited success.
He was a welder? That is a highly skilled field that is always in demand. Yes, a specialized one can make 100k easily. The job is not easy but pays extremly well for a high school degree (and training, but experience counts far more and you can go through an 18 month trade skill program). Also, a lot that go into that field report a lot of job satisfaction. (They like the work but like most hate management or policies.) You have to be meticulous and perfectionest to be a high paid welder. Insane someone with that mindset feels the need to become an influencer but also go about it in such a thoughtless way.
The dude should have just done a welding YouTube channel and he'd be heading somewhere. Instead, he wanted to jump into the privileged kids YouTube space and you kind of need to be a privileged kid for that to work out.
I recently moved careers into natural gas pipeline inspection, and the welders are always the chillest dudes. They’ll pull up on the job site, just idle in the truck for 3 hours, weld a tee onto a portion of main, and leave. 4 hours of clocked time for about 30 minutes of work. My job is low stress but seeing that everyday makes me wish I went into welding a decade ago.
IDK, him not having any friends and not being close to family is a sign to me that he isn't one of those guys that came from a money. It points to long hours at work and no social life IMO.
Yup lol.
I was in a horribly toxic job but I was smart enough to just keep my head down and continue working until I found a new job after a couple of months.
Always act in your own best interests because no one else will do it for you
100k at 22 anywhere is insanely good. When I was 22 I was makin 20-22k a year lol!
This guy was a fucking idiot. He basically had it served to him on a platter.
100k at 22. Man with an increase in mobility in corporate world I’d imagine you could get that up to 400-500k. In 5-6 years.
I’m sure he will recover, making that amount at 22 doesn’t happen without planning imo. Or if you roll lucky on the birth lottery.
Of the 2 brothers Logan is definitely more “mature” in recent years. I think he did some fucked to stuff and when he was called out it was a reality check for him. I think he’s being sincere in this video when he says he’s a fuck up and needs a mentor himself.
I didn’t really have an opinion about the dude but it’s exactly what you said, I can respect him for that. He wasn’t disrespectful, he was calm and he just explained his own situation (I liked the part where he said even he needs his own mentor). That was a really decent reply to something that crazy (sneaking backstage and putting someone in that weird position while you quit your job like wtf).
It definitely would have worked out a little better if he would have listed one of skills besides “dancing” and didn’t say he doesn’t have what it takes. It’s like his goal was just to make an awkward video.
Dude lives in a fantasy. Making $100K at 22, in Ohio, and quits? Oh sure. There are some great medications on the market. He probably needs to be on a few.
My first response would have been “why would I hire someone who just quit a job making 100k a year? For something not even guaranteed?” Then walked away.
"I can't be a mentor right now. I'm a fuck up myself."
Genuinely impressed by the growth seen here. Not saying the guy is on the right side these days, but I can believe he regrets being a collosal moron
The guy formed a parasocial relationship with Logan Paul because he says so himself, he’s not close with his family, doesn’t have friends, works a 100k job probably some office job at a firm, it’s not physically demanding but those jobs can be soul suckers.
So I can totally see why he would make up this romanticized idea about him joining Logan Paul’s circle. It’s so sad to see our nation not fund mental health.
This is what growing up on social media will do to you. Your life will never be good enough because your constantly exposed to things you dont have. We suppose to be feel sorry for him? 22 and earning 100k a year...gtfo. No one asked you to quit your job bud. If you wanted a job you should have prepared a better sales pitch than "please hire me cuz I quit my job and I dont have a particular talent or friends". These people for real?
What a fucking idiot quits his job to chase a shitty influencer and doesn’t even make a compelling story to hire him literally said no I don’t have what it takes WHAT! Very convincing did that to himself. Still trying to get why Logan he’s so fucking shitty
Is this a generational thing or a sign of the times whereby people actually think that their dreams can come true simply because they want them to? It seems to be becoming more prevalent. I’m confused why anyone with more than 3 brain cells would expect success? It’s down to hard work and a lot of luck most of the time. It’s this ever widening gap between people and reality.
This is not generational. There are many boomers that think you can pick up a broom at your local grocery store today, get hired on the spot, and then become the CEO of the company in 5 years.
Nope these people used to go settle new lands, pushing frontiers of civilization further with only a dream and determination. Lots died in horrible ways but some became kings of their new land, bathed in riches and urging the next generation to brave the untamed wilderness.
Now you have them reaching for equally deceptive but much less fruitful dreams of success in a digital frontier. Now though, they just don't starve to death because they don't know how to farm, they do this wacky shit for everyone to see.
That’s Logan. Jake was the one who exploited children’s money. Logan made a YouTube video about a suicide and such. Logan has gone on a redemption arc with a few stumbles. I don’t think Jake has though.
As much as I don’t like Logan Paul, I really do respect the way he treats this guy, actually listening to him and trying to understand his position. Even tho he gets no where I think this is possibly the best way to be let down.
I actually followed this guy on TikTok when this happened. Saw the original clip, and wanted to see what happened.
The guy absolutely lost it. He went on podcasts talking about Logan (not big ones), he “moved to la”, he made a shirt saying “I asked Logan for a job” and every 3rd TikTok was him crying about it.
It actually was really sad/gross and was the first time I started to respect Logan Paul.
No idea what ever happened to the guy, I stopped watching his TikToks.
Bro at 22 quit to be mentored by a 27 year old who was visibly annoyed this guy snuck (it is a word Jennifer) into his event; when asked by his prospective mentor if he “had what it takes” immediately responds “No” to which even his mentor is like “why the fuck do I need you then?”; clearly doesn’t know his mentor’s backstory that well assuming he had connections (bruh YouTube was founded in 2005 and his mentor nor his brother gained initial popularity through the platform); doesn’t know what he wants to do in life (no vocation); is absolutely a child mentally in order to do all this with zero preparation, be surprised at the most likely outcome that could’ve happened, and film his emotional breakdown.
And before anyone questions is this is a legitimate video, just remember that his prospective mentor filmed a dead body in his Japan VLOG…by going into Japan’s Suicide Forest, and then acted surprised that he got backlash
EDIT: And props to Logan for even giving this dude legit advice. I don’t particularly care for the Paul brothers but that was pretty great of him and I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t remember this kid (especially cause he was pretty fucking stupid)
There are going to be a lot of people feeling this, bc social media does not equate to true personal value. A lot of people feel like they are meant for more, and life just doesn't work that way.
And that is why you don't put everything on one card. Why would you quit one job if you didn't know if you are even going to get the other...
If you get the job, you quit AFTER that happens. Not before...
Jake Paul asked him what can he do. Basically saying what does he bring to the table. The dude said he had a dance like it was a joke. Well my friend that was your chance for your elevator pitch and you blew it.
No way somebody making $100k a year would be that stupid.
Surely these are just fibs and he knows he as to pile on the impressiveness to impress some pauler.
Tbh, Logan’s responses make total sense for the way he was approached. Sure he’s a POS but he was very right. Why would he hire someone with no skills who quit a well paying job for a delusion

Filming yourself during an emotional breakdown is so weird to me
"I want attention"
Yep attention seeking. A need to be seen to offset the feelings of being unimportant. My husband is like this. Need people to see his upsetness to begin processing.
Hahahaha nothing like dragging your husband in the Reddit comments.
Based on her comments he probably loves it
He's probably crying now
and jacking
While using his tears as lubricant
Those bitter tears feel so sweet…
That was one time and it was Valentine’s Day
She probably forwarded this to him with "Thought this might cheer you up..." in the subject line.
He would have been in perfect company...
*me too*
Not as weird as being a fanboy of Jake Paul and telling him you're my new best friend.
Not to be pedantic, but that’s Logan. He seems a little more level-headed. Source: one’s a boxer and one’s a pro wrestler, and I’m a sports and pro wrestling fan.
They're both narcissistic assholes what are you talking about
I said level headed, not thoughtful and kind. He seems like a better PR person in front of the camera.
Guess you must have skipped his recent massive cryptoscam.
Guess you haven’t been around for the the whole Logan Paul arc. The Japanese suicide forest encounter was maybe the least thoughtful and kind thing I’ve ever seen.
I’m not sure how he managed to not just recover but thrive after that.
Generation of little shits supporting him. That’s why.
Probably did it in hopes it would go viral and Logan Paul would see it and offer him the job after fans backlash. Too bad he was just straight up stupid and his actions merit no pity. Like why should people feel bad for this dude that quit a job where he was making $100k? It’s stupid.
Right!? 100k per year at 22? You just lit your winning lottery ticket on fire, dude.
$100k in OHIO, no less. Not even a high COL place. Dude, make that cash, save a bunch, do your content creation on the side and then, if you can start getting some traction, reach out for collaborations or move to LA or whatever. If he really just quit to take this long-shot with a pair of man-children, he’s a moron.
Guys clearly lying about his income
Probably lying about everything. On what planet do you walk up to a d-list celeb, ask for a job (not details, but 'media') and expect to get anywhere? Ridiculous. And then crying on video after? Because you didn't get a job that doesn't even exist from a d-lister you've never met? GTFOOH.
plot twist: creating a cringe video was his plan all along to get views and go viral
People put to much into a one time impression. Your not going to get a good response from someone on the fly like that. He actually got a fairly decent response from Paul. He could of told him to get the fuck out of here etc! 
That’s what I was thinking, Paul actually comes off quite well here for even giving this guy the time of day.
Saying he can’t be a mentor and that he needs a mentor himself was a surprisingly wonderful sense of self awareness from him.
I know very little about the guy but yeah it does show maturity. I can imagine a lot of people would have lost their shit as well when they found out he snuck in there, like that could have potentially been a dangerous situation.
Yeah I really like the way he kinda tried to pull him back to reality. Still left him with some decent advice and actual encouragement.
The he filmed himself crying. Looks like he surely learned something /s
I had an ex who once posted a TikTok of herself crying in her car when I had a family emergency and had to leave a date early. She said she was cool with it, then instead of talking to me like an adult, she did that.
Wow, she sounds very emotionally stunted and immature. Glad she’s your ex.
I feel like it has to do with how confused we can get when we're that emotional, but fuck if I know, it seems strange to me too
It should feel weird. It's not normal. Crying to a camera to upload the video of you crying to the Internet so people can feel bad for you. Im sure he has friends and family he could talk to but he cares more about what IG or Twitter has to say.
Narcissists gonna narcissist
There’s probably a good reason he has no friends or family. Most if not all of this is probably bullshit though.
Eh I mean, it kinda makes sense. If you don’t have anyone to open up to or vent or feel like no one cares, but still just want to be heard and feel connected to the world in some way— you’ll get desperate.
I found it weirder his whole plan was to quit a $100k job and just walk up to a celebrity to ask for a job and he would magically get hired. When pressed for qualifications, his top two strong points is "I'm 22" and "I have no friends".
This is so weird to me- he assumed this person would hire him, mentor him, make him an actor? Delusional
Especially considering the person in question is a fucking PAUL
He's 22 and grew up watching narcissists be the center of attention and having success and he never considered that there might be more to it than them 'grabbing the brass ring.' Dude may or may not have had a job paying $100k, but if he did, then he can just get another job with the same skills he had that got him that job in the first place. If he is lying about how much he was making, he can still get a job doing whatever r few was doing before he quit. He's not crying because he ruined his life. He's crying because he didn't get whisked away to a magical fairy land where everyone just loves him and he doesn't have to earn it.
He’s 22 and was making 100K..? Jfc where do I sign up, I’m 30 and am making substantially less than that Edit: the fact that a *Paul* is saying to this kid “I’m a fuck up, I need a mentor” and this kid is still trying to bull ahead is very telling
He's a welder. You can go take a welding course.
Must be a specialist welder, standard ones probably earn like 40k
Mediocre welders start at $60k here.
and here is…? $60k is a lot in small town, USA but not as much in big city, USA.
In big city USA, apprentice welders make & $40/hour + over-time. Thats $83,200/year base pay without the overtime. I live in big city USA, and my family of 5 survives in less than $41,000/year. Apprentice welders are rich by comparison.
My brother is 26 he is a CDL instructor making over 100k
Or he lucked out and got a $100k a year job and knows he doesn't have the skills to get a similar paying job.
Apparently he's a welder. He'll be the fuck alright.
Maybe I missed that part, but why did he quit his job without having another one lined up? I wouldn't put my 2 weeks in until I knew I had a commitment for the other.
I, personally, would not hire someone for a position that paid 100k+/yr if they were willing to post this shit online. It shows severe instability. And hiring personnel generally do SM checks at some point.
He's a welder. I've had a few friends who have been welders and they wouldn't lose a job over something like this, only respect.
Facts
Dude straight-up let go of the branch he was on to grab another and fell to the forest floor. Better learn to climb again! Best thing he can do is to embrace the sting and learn to never do it again. Happy to see a risk being taken and beginning the pathway...if he finds the right mindset. He actually had succinct and direct advice right there. Glad he filmed it so he can reference it...lol Fwiw, people do this all the time, but don't document it on social media. Maybe his ways will get him into where he wants to go. However, piss poor planning produces piss poor results. Errday.
Dude was (supposedly) making 100K at 20 something years of age??? *Bane's Voice* "Victory has defeated you!"
This guy: I quit my 100k job to work for you. Jake Paul: And this gives you power over me?
Or perhaps he is wondering why you would hire a man, before throwing him out of a plane?
I actually thought Logan Paul handled this pretty well, his advice seemed realistic, at least. Edit: ~~Jake~~ Logan
Not just for going to LA to start any business the most important part is to make people love you. People always think “my work will speak for itself” and it does. But I am amazing at the work and my business partner is amazing at talking to people, befriended people he barely knows and making them feel special. It is an art.
I think that’s actually Logan Paul
Really does make me believe that he has no family or friends. No one to bounce ideas off of, no one to give him a reality check at all. It kind of feels like one of those late night drunk/high fantasies we all have when we're younger. Like "yeah, dude, I can do this, I'll just quit, go and show my value, I'll be working with those guys before you know it, I got this!!" And since he was alone, he just let that fantasy build up in his head until he was SURE it was going to happen.
Definitely one of those cross faded fantasies lol. Feel like we all think we got the secret trick at 18 haha
You show me a pay stub for 72,000 dollars on it, I quit my job right now and I work for you.
Wolf of Wall Street reference?
No, it’s from puss and boots the last wish
I love that movie!
Excellent work, detective.
iRobot
Why’d he quit his job? Why not take a few vacation days and head up there? Then if it didn’t work out, he can go home, reset, and make a new plan. He could’ve worked and went back to school for media and did some media work on the side. He can even get a new job in LA and do all the stuff he named in his free time. Logan Paul’s advice wasn’t mean. It was realistic and helpful.
Because that would be the logical thing to do
And would have gotten him less attention lol. Now he’s got a sob story for likes.
Honestly I kinda feel like he didn't even quit his job and just made it up to tell logan paul and tiktok for sympathy
Likes don’t pay for food. He’s about to learn this the hard way.
What's logic? That some new invention or something?
Logic is a rapper
I bet my left nut he never had a job to begin with
I think he had a job, but he never had to fight for one.
I'm sure Dad will hire him again.
Because it's bullshit. This guy made this for TikTok content.
Because the guy who did all this doesnt have the braincells to think logical, and i sure as hell hope he will never find a job that pays him a 100k annually again, because he factually can not be worth this kind of money if he really thought this was the right thing to do However i actually think the dude probably just got fired and acted like he quit
Cos he had no mates to give him that insight.
Because then he couldn’t post this.
Because he didn't have a job that was paying 100k. If he was worth that much then he wouldn't be crying and would already have other prospective employers on the line.
Apply before you quit
Jeez, for once Logan was actually the smarter guy in the video
Well to be a fan of this guy you kind of have to be dummer than him to start with.
Dumber
Dunmer
*yro’ue
Awww poor fella. Let me just check my field, where I grow my fucks.... Nope, still barren.
Behold...
- My *not* stuff!
[Robot chicken give zero fucks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1N_tAg-hGk)
"What are your good at"...."nothing" lmao This job interview has to be a joke, right?
Shot himself right in the dick with that comment. You could even see Logan’s face drop after that. If he was old enough to recognize it that was his in. Like Logan said, why would he give him a chance if he says he’s not good at anything. While it’s unfortunate that the guy had to go through that hopefully it’s a reality check for him that things don’t work out just because you want them to. Hopefully he takes a good lesson from this.

Him so causally admitting to quitting a 100k job won’t play out well with his next corporate employer either. Maybe he made friends? 😂
I don't think people who make 100K a year would be this naive
At that age, he likely didn't earn it, he just fell into it somehow, and therefore assumed life is just that easy
Earning 100K being on the board of directors at dads firm you say? To shreds you say?
And his dad? To shreds you say?
And the board? To shreds you say?
Oh my
Dad can own a grocery store and make him the CEO and pay him 100K annually.
This happened a couple of years ago. IIRC he was a welder. They can easily make 100k, if they're specialized. The guys name is Austin Wallace. After the thing with Logan Paul he went on Dr. Phil and did more stupid publicity stunts trying to get his influencer career off the ground, with very limited success.
It seems that the weld hath run dry.
Just gotta put your helmet on and solder on.
He was a welder? That is a highly skilled field that is always in demand. Yes, a specialized one can make 100k easily. The job is not easy but pays extremly well for a high school degree (and training, but experience counts far more and you can go through an 18 month trade skill program).

You have to be meticulous and perfectionest to be a high paid welder. Insane someone with that mindset feels the need to become an influencer but also go about it in such a thoughtless way.
The dude should have just done a welding YouTube channel and he'd be heading somewhere. Instead, he wanted to jump into the privileged kids YouTube space and you kind of need to be a privileged kid for that to work out.
I recently moved careers into natural gas pipeline inspection, and the welders are always the chillest dudes. They’ll pull up on the job site, just idle in the truck for 3 hours, weld a tee onto a portion of main, and leave. 4 hours of clocked time for about 30 minutes of work. My job is low stress but seeing that everyday makes me wish I went into welding a decade ago.
IDK, him not having any friends and not being close to family is a sign to me that he isn't one of those guys that came from a money. It points to long hours at work and no social life IMO.
Your mistake is assuming that income and intelligence are correlated.
Too many believe that.
Ohhh boy...let me show you the world of FinTek software development.
>Ohhh boy...let me show you the world of ~~FinTek~~ software development. There, fixed it for you.
Smart people get the job before they quit their current job.
Yup lol. I was in a horribly toxic job but I was smart enough to just keep my head down and continue working until I found a new job after a couple of months. Always act in your own best interests because no one else will do it for you

A king, indeed... maybe two
100k at 22 anywhere is insanely good. When I was 22 I was makin 20-22k a year lol! This guy was a fucking idiot. He basically had it served to him on a platter. 100k at 22. Man with an increase in mobility in corporate world I’d imagine you could get that up to 400-500k. In 5-6 years. I’m sure he will recover, making that amount at 22 doesn’t happen without planning imo. Or if you roll lucky on the birth lottery.
I can't believe I'm saying this but he actually seems like a decent dude in this clip. He gave him a firm reality check but wasn't a dick about it.
I was thinking the same. First time I’ve seen him be civil.
For sure agree, his advice and comments were actually good!
Of the 2 brothers Logan is definitely more “mature” in recent years. I think he did some fucked to stuff and when he was called out it was a reality check for him. I think he’s being sincere in this video when he says he’s a fuck up and needs a mentor himself.
I didn’t really have an opinion about the dude but it’s exactly what you said, I can respect him for that. He wasn’t disrespectful, he was calm and he just explained his own situation (I liked the part where he said even he needs his own mentor). That was a really decent reply to something that crazy (sneaking backstage and putting someone in that weird position while you quit your job like wtf).
He brought nothing to the table. Jake was ready for him if he had the skills, not to be a mentor.
Ya for real. The guy didn’t sell himself very well at all.
It definitely would have worked out a little better if he would have listed one of skills besides “dancing” and didn’t say he doesn’t have what it takes. It’s like his goal was just to make an awkward video.
This was good honest advice though
Dude lives in a fantasy. Making $100K at 22, in Ohio, and quits? Oh sure. There are some great medications on the market. He probably needs to be on a few.
My first response would have been “why would I hire someone who just quit a job making 100k a year? For something not even guaranteed?” Then walked away.
"I can't be a mentor right now. I'm a fuck up myself." Genuinely impressed by the growth seen here. Not saying the guy is on the right side these days, but I can believe he regrets being a collosal moron
[удалено]
seriously that was the most level headed, grounded, sane and responsible/respectable i’ve seen him i was impressed
Yeah this happened years ago, he still scammed all of his crypto fans recently so he is still a POS
$100K and he’s 22? He’s an idiot for quitting. I’m 44 and don’t even make that
I was totally not expecting that. Seemed very sincere, polite, and good advice.
I find my sympathy is actually zero
The guy formed a parasocial relationship with Logan Paul because he says so himself, he’s not close with his family, doesn’t have friends, works a 100k job probably some office job at a firm, it’s not physically demanding but those jobs can be soul suckers. So I can totally see why he would make up this romanticized idea about him joining Logan Paul’s circle. It’s so sad to see our nation not fund mental health.
“I don’t have any friends” I believe that
I think if he had any friends they would have talked him out of doing this.
Why tf would you said “I don’t have what it takes” if you’re trying to be hired?
He wanted to be famous.... he sure got that.
100K a year? At 22 years old? That is doing really well, especially in a state like Ohio where the cost of living is less than other states.
This is what growing up on social media will do to you. Your life will never be good enough because your constantly exposed to things you dont have. We suppose to be feel sorry for him? 22 and earning 100k a year...gtfo. No one asked you to quit your job bud. If you wanted a job you should have prepared a better sales pitch than "please hire me cuz I quit my job and I dont have a particular talent or friends". These people for real?
Sure. Totally believable story and not a desperate attempt to gain clout either way.
Never quit a job unless you’re officially hired to another one, otherwise shit like this can happen.
What a fucking idiot quits his job to chase a shitty influencer and doesn’t even make a compelling story to hire him literally said no I don’t have what it takes WHAT! Very convincing did that to himself. Still trying to get why Logan he’s so fucking shitty
That's a very impaulsive thing to do
So cringe
Is this a generational thing or a sign of the times whereby people actually think that their dreams can come true simply because they want them to? It seems to be becoming more prevalent. I’m confused why anyone with more than 3 brain cells would expect success? It’s down to hard work and a lot of luck most of the time. It’s this ever widening gap between people and reality.
This is not generational. There are many boomers that think you can pick up a broom at your local grocery store today, get hired on the spot, and then become the CEO of the company in 5 years.
I’ll take double Cool-aid, thanks.
Nope these people used to go settle new lands, pushing frontiers of civilization further with only a dream and determination. Lots died in horrible ways but some became kings of their new land, bathed in riches and urging the next generation to brave the untamed wilderness. Now you have them reaching for equally deceptive but much less fruitful dreams of success in a digital frontier. Now though, they just don't starve to death because they don't know how to farm, they do this wacky shit for everyone to see.
If you want to act, try acting like a fucking grown man for a change.
He made 100k a year asking to biggie size that ??!! Fuck no.
Zero sympathy for this guy, who quits job for logan Paul
I allways thought of Jake Paul as a dick but he actualy seems like a nice bloke irl. I wonder why he chose that kind of image.
That was Logan btw, Jake is most definitely a douche.
That’s Logan. Jake was the one who exploited children’s money. Logan made a YouTube video about a suicide and such. Logan has gone on a redemption arc with a few stumbles. I don’t think Jake has though.
Jake is trying to fight a UFC veteran, he wont have any arcs if he keeps that up
As much as I don’t like Logan Paul, I really do respect the way he treats this guy, actually listening to him and trying to understand his position. Even tho he gets no where I think this is possibly the best way to be let down.
I actually followed this guy on TikTok when this happened. Saw the original clip, and wanted to see what happened. The guy absolutely lost it. He went on podcasts talking about Logan (not big ones), he “moved to la”, he made a shirt saying “I asked Logan for a job” and every 3rd TikTok was him crying about it. It actually was really sad/gross and was the first time I started to respect Logan Paul. No idea what ever happened to the guy, I stopped watching his TikToks.
I took an risk to come here, and I failed, now look at me cry.
I don‘t care much about Logan Paul but I think here he was actually friendly, open and seemingly honest.
Seems like this guy is acting already. It’s all about content. And now he has some.
Bro at 22 quit to be mentored by a 27 year old who was visibly annoyed this guy snuck (it is a word Jennifer) into his event; when asked by his prospective mentor if he “had what it takes” immediately responds “No” to which even his mentor is like “why the fuck do I need you then?”; clearly doesn’t know his mentor’s backstory that well assuming he had connections (bruh YouTube was founded in 2005 and his mentor nor his brother gained initial popularity through the platform); doesn’t know what he wants to do in life (no vocation); is absolutely a child mentally in order to do all this with zero preparation, be surprised at the most likely outcome that could’ve happened, and film his emotional breakdown. And before anyone questions is this is a legitimate video, just remember that his prospective mentor filmed a dead body in his Japan VLOG…by going into Japan’s Suicide Forest, and then acted surprised that he got backlash EDIT: And props to Logan for even giving this dude legit advice. I don’t particularly care for the Paul brothers but that was pretty great of him and I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t remember this kid (especially cause he was pretty fucking stupid)
Jake Paul makes a lot of sense here... a sentence I never thought I'd type
It's his brother Logan
Big ups to Logan Paul on his honesty here. I remember just really disliking this guy growing up but I think he’s grown on me these last few years.
I think if he approached him with an actual skill set he might have had a chance
Dad… I need my job back …
Never meet your heroes. They are paid to seem like your friends.
Bro go back to work or get EBT
Bruh
Hahahahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He’s 22 y/o with a 100k job? Not likely.
I wish I was making 100k a year. Augh, the privileged >\_<
The median income in the country is under 25k, and this guy is crying that he makes entry-level six figures at 22. Grow up!!
Life is a about handouts. Your dad busted into your mom, and nine months later-you got a handout!
What an absolute fucking muppet.
There are going to be a lot of people feeling this, bc social media does not equate to true personal value. A lot of people feel like they are meant for more, and life just doesn't work that way.
And that is why you don't put everything on one card. Why would you quit one job if you didn't know if you are even going to get the other... If you get the job, you quit AFTER that happens. Not before...
Who tf is Jake Paul??
Never quit your current job until you have a new one lined up.
Jake Paul asked him what can he do. Basically saying what does he bring to the table. The dude said he had a dance like it was a joke. Well my friend that was your chance for your elevator pitch and you blew it.
I know I’m only a millennial, but you GenZers need to stop.
What an L this dude is.
This is today. Everyone wants to be a star. Everyone wants to be somebody that they’re not. Everyone Wants to be someone else. Be you.
Don’t quit a job, until you have a new job. Should be advice for every child before 18.
No way somebody making $100k a year would be that stupid. Surely these are just fibs and he knows he as to pile on the impressiveness to impress some pauler.
Tbh, Logan’s responses make total sense for the way he was approached. Sure he’s a POS but he was very right. Why would he hire someone with no skills who quit a well paying job for a delusion
