He revealed, “And I never forget, the second time I saw you, you were sitting down looking at me in my eyes dumping gas on you.” 

Initially skeptical, George expected a mere visual illusion, thinking, “They gonna have like a graphics team pretend there’s flames on these guys.” However, the unexpected happened as Paul set himself on fire, prompting George’s disbelief. Moreover, he further recalled how Jake Paul lit himself on fire and jumped into the pool. He shared his sheer disbelief in the situation.

However, just when Janko thought that Paul would have learned his lesson, what he said next left him shocked. He asked, “‘Was that good? or do we have to run that back?’”. The sheer recklessness of the incident left even Janko shocked. In the meantime, Janko also acknowledged his closeness with Paul.
