Podcast host George Janko has finally revealed the reason why he’s no longer friends with Logan Paul after leaving his show, Impaulsive, in 2022.
Logan Paul’s popular Impaulsive podcast has seen a revolving door of co-hosts throughout the years, with George Janko being a fairly regular presence on the show until summer 2022.
Janko famously walked off the podcast after getting into a heated disagreement with Logan Paul over religion, where Paul notably called Janko’s beliefs “f*cking silly.”
Since then, there’s been an unspoken — but often assumed — tension between Janko and Paul, with Janko often avoiding speaking out about the real reason why he hasn’t returned to the show or rekindled his friendship with Logan.
In the past, Janko has claimed he’s “moved on” from the “toxic environment” of the show, saying that Logan and Mike were “talking sh*t” about him.
Nearly a year later, Janko has opened up about the situation on an episode of Jake Paul’s podcast, revealing why he’s no longer friends with Logan.. But hopes to one day be able to see eye-to-eye.
George Janko reveals why he isn’t speaking to Logan Paul
“We had personal issues between each other. And it’s hard, because my love never left, right?” he said, admitting that Logan was “the guy that opened up the doors for me and took care of me.”

“I think in the back of Logan’s mind, regardless of how he thinks, and regardless of what I’ve done, as a friend — I think the aspect of him being above me in the industry, in his mind he’ll always think, ‘Well, he’s only sticking around because he gets something out of it.'”
“In my mind I was like, ‘F*ck this, I’m out, and when I come back, I’m gonna show you I’m stronger and I don’t need you, and that way when we do have a conversation, you know it’s only out of love.”

Thus far, Logan hasn’t publicly responded to George’s comments — but it’s clear that George is waiting for the right time to rekindle their friendship.
It’s uncertain when that time might be, though. Although Janko has cemented himself as a popular podcast host with his very own show, Paul has since scored a WWE championship with plans to go full-time with the wrestling org…. and considering the massive success of PRIME, Logan’s star is shining brighter and further away from his days as an internet icon with every passing moment.
