With Mike Majlak and KSI present on the set of the podcast, the trio went ahead to talk about showcasing strength. Mike believed that the only way he could prove his strength was to go to a dense forest all alone. In order to check the valor of his friends, he dropped the same question to Logan Paul and KSI. As soon as Paul heard the word “forest,” a chill ran down his spine.

It wasn’t long ago when Lonabu claimed that the man hanging from the tree was Logan Paul himself, who has been fooling the audience for years. It is unclear what the truth is behind the video and if Logan is actually playing with the fans.
