Summary

Ever since he shot to internet fame in 2013, Logan Paul has been a magnet for controversy.

But what's the real cost of all this? In this episode, we dive into the strange history of this controversial YouTube pioneer. We'll try to understand why the world can't stop obsessing over Logan Paul—and why that obsession has even caught the attention of Congress!
