Making the mainstream media look stupid? Check. Playing to your base? Check. Staying a maverick? Check.

You have, by now, probably seen Logan Paul’s car crash interview with Fox Business presenter Liz Claman. In the eight-minute segment, Paul — who called himself the “former controversial YouTuber” — managed to produce a human highlight reel of catastrophic things to say.

Literally, it got clipped up into 53 seconds of nightmarish insights from Paul, including a revelation that he has pink eye, he is literally spending more money than he makes on an annual basis, and multiple outlandish claims that he is the fastest human being on the planet (a claim Usain Bolt may take umbrage with).

Many commentators have looked askance at the interview, wondering what exactly went on. There have been claims that this is an unmitigated disaster for the Paul camp, and pleas for him to get media training.
