Podcasts often become a platform for tension when hosts and guests clash, sometimes leading to uncomfortable interactions.
This was the case on Logan Paul’s podcast, IMPAULSIVE, which featured YouTuber and NELK boys founder Stevewilldoit as a guest.
Steve joined the podcast to announce the lifting of a previous YouTube ban he faced.
The episode was meant to mark his return to the platform, but the conversation with hosts Logan Paul and Mike Majlak soon turned tense, with Paul appearing increasingly distant as the interview went on.
In just 40 minutes, the atmosphere became so uncomfortable that Steve moved his microphone away and decided to leave.
He rose from his seat, stating, “I’m done with it,” leading the hosts to ask, “Is that it? The show’s over?”
Despite initially leaving, Steve returned to challenge Paul to a game of padel, betting a $40,000 watch, and offered his hand to Paul, who did not reciprocate.
Steve then made comments that were censored.
These comments clearly affected Paul, who cautioned, “Steve. I definitely have a line, I think you’ve reached the line, and I am going to ask you to chill a little bit.
“Not even just for my sake, I can handle the jokes, right? Just careful, because I told you I hit my line.”
In response, Steve made another comment that was bleeped out.
Finally, Majlak concluded the segment by saying: “Alright, grab him, let’s go, it’s done. Thank you for coming on Steve, we appreciate it.”
After Steve’s departure, Paul remarked: “I can’t believe he hasn’t gotten hit. I’m just shocked no one has beat the s*it out of him. Dude, if we weren’t on this podcast, I’d slap him up the second he said something but I’m being friendly because he’s the guest, we invited him here, right?”
In the comments section, many viewers appeared to be sympathetic toward Steve, criticizing the hosts for ‘belittling’ him during the episode.
One comment read: “Brought up his ex, argued against him with the beast conversation, bothered him for like 5 minutes about how he makes money when he clearly didn’t wanna specify it, then confronted him about how he’s feeling lately when you know he’s struggling- this is something you do offline and not publicly humiliate a friend in need.”
Another viewer expressed: “Ngl this is sad to watch. Steve is just looking for a genuine friend. Feel bad for him. We’ve all been there.”
A third commenter noted: “This felt like more of an interrogation than an interview. Steve you the goat.”
