Logan Paul's Prank Interview with BBC Reporter Matt Shay

Matt Shay's interview attempt with Logan Paul turned into a comical failure, highlighting media credibility issues.

### The Irony of Media Ethics: A Prank on Matt Shay and the BBC
* 🎤 Matt Shay, a journalist for the BBC and Vice, was humorously duped into thinking he was interviewing the real Logan Paul when he was actually speaking to a lookalike, referred to as **"not Logan Paul."**
* 🍫 Shay's journey began with a bizarre request to bring chocolates for the interview, illustrating the **lengths to which he went**, only to be **ghosted by Andrew Tate** after arriving with his offering.
* 📈 His original piece on Tate had garnered **5 million views**, but it faced severe backlash due to its **unverified claims**, leading the BBC to **disable comments** on the article.
* 📰 The BBC's history of platforming sexual predators, including notable figures like **Jimmy Savile and Hugh Edwards**, casts a shadow over their credibility, especially as **allegations of misconduct arose against their staff**.
* 🤔 The irony lies in Shay's career, as he investigates **sexual misconduct** while working for organizations with a **notorious history of such issues**, raising questions about his **integrity**.
* 💰 In a twist, Logan Paul, through a prank, announced a **$50,000 donation to a children's organization**, contrasting the BBC's failure to address their **past misdeeds involving abuse**.
* 🚨 The encounter ended with Shay realizing the deception after a few minutes, highlighting the **absurdity of the situation** and the media's often **questionable ethics in reporting**.
* 📺 Ultimately, the episode serves as a **critique of media practices** while also showcasing the lengths to which some will go for **sensational stories**, all wrapped in a **comedic prank**.

Look, you're one of the most famous people by many metrics in the world. Oh my God, he actually thinks it's me. What a dumb... Like these are two very serious questions and I'm a very serious guy. I'm a serious person, bro. What the... This is

crazy. You might recognize this handsome devil. His name is Matt Shay and he works for the BBC and Vice. He's the grown man who was told he could interview Andrew Tate if he brought him a box of chocolates. Would you bring me a box of

chocolates? I can bring you a box of chocolates if you promise to bring me a box of chocolates. That will increase your chance... Dignity out the window and desperate for more top G, the candy man flew all the way to Romania with a fresh

pack of feast tables. Do have the Chuck... Yeah, but when he arrived with his big box of chocolates, his dreams were crushed. The Tates ghosted him. But that's okay because his original Tate hit piece for Vice garnered 5 million views only to be ripped apart

for unverified and one-sided allegations. That is right on brand for an organization as credible as the BBC. Advice... The backlash was so bad they had to turn their comments off. And no, the BBC is not theb category stupid, although we did find out there's a registered

account to Matt Shay's personal Gmail. But let's pin that. It's the British media conglomerate that you might know because they've been platforming predators for the past 50 years. Got a list: Jimmy Savile, Chris Denning, Chris Langham, Jonathan King, Rolf Harris, Stuart

Hall and currently Hugh Edwards, all of them convicted of sexual offenses, most of them involving minors that are quite frankly too upsetting to get into. And in the case of Hugh Edwards, which is unfolding as we speak, the BBC knew about it, what they knew said BBC boss Tim Davey as he

continued to pay the predator the highest salary in the BBC using the funds of UK's citizens. And while Matt was at Vice media, they faced sexual misconduct allegations from over two dozen women, including against their former boss, the President Andrew Kraton, who by the way had to leave the company

after paying a former employee a settlement for a sexual harassment claim. Anyway, I give this context because while Matt Shay reports for organizations with a proven, known history of sexual misconduct, he advances his career through the investigation of alleged sexual misconduct. Ironic, also being an

investigator himself. I wonder what Matt knows. I'm not saying anything. Anyways, earlier this year I found out that Tooth Gap and his pedo overlords had turned their attention to me, because what better way to divert attention from the fact that you can't stop hiring category

A sexual predators than by making a regurgitated hit piece on a wrestler. Oh, and the subject matter, you guessed it, a barrage of crypto related scam allegations that I, uh, have heard before. Now look, you put the words Logan Paul, crypto, and scammer

in the same sentence, you got yourself a never-ending gold mine of YouTube views. I get it. But as I said before, and I will maintain, I did not scam anyone. I made $Z off these crypto Zoo scam allegations. I don't know how many times I need to

Say it. I did the first ever buyback in NFT history. Shut up, but none of that matters because today, Matt thinks he's interviewing me, but he's not. He's not interviewing me. He's interviewing "not Logan Paul", who is not me, but we'll be

told what to say with a secret earpiece by me, Logan Paul, not Logan Paul. I'm Logan Paul. This is not Logan Paul, and this is my BBC. Wait a second, guys. It's all good. It's all good. We even flew "not Logan Paul" also

known as Rodney here a day early so we could practice. Do you only work for sexual predators? Did Hugh Evers ever touch your PE? Who the registers for a hub account? We had responses ready for anything Matt would throw at us and ready for any possible outcome cuz

that's the other thing, this guy has gotten played before. You'd think he'd be kind of on high alert. The golden question is, is Matt going to be so, so thirsty for an interview that he continues interviewing "not me" just to get a piece of content, or

is there a chance he thinks it's me? We, we are doing an interview with the DPC. All right. We are about to get started. Matt is in his seat. He's been sitting there for about 5 minutes now. I have never seen anyone so nervous in my

life. Can't stop taking sips of water. He's fidgeting. We haven't even started yet. Just finishing up as call down here a couple minutes. There's our boy. Do you feel ready? I feel good. You're going to crush it. Oh my God. No. What's up, dude?

How's it going? Thanks, Matt. Matt, sorry I'm tired. No, last night was hard. Hit me with the all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right. How do you enjoy the, uh, yeah, pretty good. He thinks it's me. So look, you're one of the

most famous people by many metrics in the world. Oh my God, he actually thinks it's me. What a dumb ass. Is there like a big weight of responsibility or is it just a ton of fun? Uh, bro, I'm 205 lb. I feel like the 205 lb, I feel like this is an

amazing, amazing. Would you say that translating that fame and influence into wealth is something you've been particularly focused on? Yeah, of course, I'm rich as hell. Yeah, I mean, got rich and famous. Saying it's a worker, bro. What the, this is crazy. Why do you look so different to me?

J, is it just made as you to look different? Oh, he's, he's noticing now. I'm tired, bro. I'm really tired, but I'm locked in. I swear to God, bro. I'm locked in. I'm ready for the show. I have to say the

the real Logan Paul looks very different. Did you come all the way over here to ask about how I look? Not everyone is as handsome as you, Matt. You look pretty good too right now though. Yeah. Is Logan coming? I'm right here, but you're joking right? This is a joke, bro. You

are joking right? This is a joke, bro. You

We have 15 minutes, Matt. You got 15 minutes. Let's get to it. Unlocked in, what you got? Yo, these are two very serious questions and I'm a very serious guy. There are people who really want to know the answer to this. I was a serious person. Let's just get out of here.

This reporter shutting down? Go Rodney. I'm sending him in. BBC is fire. No way, bro. You ask him about his personal account, M. sh at gmail. Tell him he locked three achievements. Amazing achiev... Oh, he's leaving. He's... that's what upset him.

Most are they leaving? We're going to protest from the roof as they leave. They hired P... flustered, frustrated and unaccomplished. The BBC boys were driven out of town. They couldn't leave fast enough. Oh, and the Puerto Rican videographers they

hired apparently were given no context to what was shooting and were not on board for their hit piece. Their videographers have... have done for us in the past with other and they're like, 'Bro, we didn't sign up for this.' We love the... the

P, yo this motherf*cker thought it was me for 3 minutes. It took him 3 minutes to go, 'You look a little different.' Yeah, knowy? So, look, that was a great success. I cannot believe that guy keeps getting... got something. I'm also going to do

donate $50,000 to a children's organization that focuses on children suffering and who are being abused. Something that we have not seen the BBC do yet, even though they've been platforming the worst people on the planet for the past 50 years with that.

said guess we're a prank channel now like And subscribe peace take it up it so you need to be careful only use those sources that you trust are they likely to have accurate information on the story two of the BBC's basic news values uh one more
