00:00:00.000
all right let's watch this apology video for true geordie welcome back to the true geordie podcast
00:00:05.360
uh so let's get straight into it i've recently made a joke online and it's caused the reaction
00:00:12.680
upset people are not happy with it so me and laws want to come on here talk about it amongst
00:00:19.060
ourselves we were on the stream at the time that the joke was said by me wasn't wasn't lawrence's
00:00:23.600
joke was my joke just to be absolutely clear just to sort of give context for it uh uh an old friend
00:00:30.620
of mine i will call him mr potato head for the sake of this uh podcast because i know you'd be
00:00:35.560
desperate for me to say his name uh is also not true this is sounds trivial but it's not it's just
00:00:45.100
the way he is uh the quickest apology video that i've ever seen he made a little joke about blowing
00:00:51.640
up and within four hours this dropped i'm sorry the sad face and the thumbnail chat so you guys
00:00:58.300
give me shit sometimes for apologizing but my intentions were not to actually be insulting i
00:01:04.640
was making fun of haram behavior and then i had a muslim panel on so that i could go and reflect
00:01:09.600
and try to understand where i was coming from and get my intentions out there this apology video i'm
00:01:15.140
sorry if i ever do this you can cancel me he recently uh claimed to have uh joined islam now
00:01:25.800
given some of his previous statements that absolutely contradict what a lot of islam is about
00:01:32.100
uh i definitely uh didn't believe a lot of what i was hearing from the internet uh you know i made a joke
00:01:41.520
in questioning that newfound faith of his that conveniently comes at a time when he needs as
00:01:47.280
many supporters as he can get it was a stupid joke as much as i don't want to repeat the joke i think
00:01:52.400
it's only right so that people have context who don't understand uh i said if he really wants to
00:01:56.740
prove he's a muslim he should uh blow himself up as suicide bomber or something like that now when i when
00:02:03.420
i say that out loud when i'm the clear difference between christianity and islam though and i don't know
00:02:08.320
if this is a valid enough reason to join any kind of religion just to to point out the disrespect
00:02:12.820
but the fact that so quickly within four hours all the people and i know the same thing is the same
00:02:17.620
thing happened to me all the dms that you get from all these different from all over the world
00:02:22.420
billions of people saying that they're going to strangle you and beat you up if they've ever seen
00:02:25.520
you in public is incredible you could dress up as a nun on halloween you could dress up as a priest
00:02:30.080
you can go to work at the church and they don't care the difference is very clear and that's why
00:02:35.820
andrew's talking about how islam is better but i don't know if that's a good enough reason to join
00:02:39.980
a religion just because the tolerance of disrespect is less i don't know how much more valid that makes
00:02:46.440
an entire religion when i'm aware of it fucking horrendous you know it was one of those off-the-cuff
00:02:53.080
remarks that i made in a with a total lack of thought and i used uh an unrealistic stereotype
00:03:01.120
to take aim at someone who seriously dislikes me obviously i don't believe that's what muslims
00:03:09.500
actually do and i don't actually want mr potato head to die as much as i don't really like him
00:03:16.520
um it was a very stupid thing to say it was an idiotic joke true jordy looks more like mr
00:03:25.320
if we're gonna if you're gonna make jokes like that like you literally this is more accurate to you
00:03:38.980
book uh one i'm sorry for you know you know i don't believe any religious stereotype just to be
00:03:50.720
clear whether it be all priests torpedoes or all jewish people run the world and are rich like
00:03:56.460
they're all as ridiculous as each other to me and that was partly why i felt comfortable in that
00:04:01.040
moment in saying something so ridiculous because i never thought for one second that anyone would take
00:04:06.160
offense to something so silly right you know at the time i'm sat next to a guy who has a muslim family
00:04:11.940
who knows how much love i have for everyone like you know i'm not a prejudiced guy or whatever you want
00:04:18.260
to call me is that right prejudice is definitely yeah um and but now after like feeling out the
00:04:26.360
backlash and what people are saying and i'm talking about the genuinely upset people i know some people
00:04:30.480
will just use anything to try and take you down and i get i've given them a golden opportunity
00:04:34.640
but i understand like some people have had that thrown in their face a lot and for me as much as
00:04:41.600
it's ridiculous and it's something that i don't believe i understand that for them some people
00:04:46.860
have had years of that being said to them you know and i really wasn't thinking about that in that
00:04:50.700
moment so yeah uh all i can say is sorry when i was sitting there i i guess when i watched it back
00:04:57.200
i was like oh maybe i should have maybe i should have said something there even just as a friend
00:05:01.200
just to be like oh you can't say that but the problem for you is you know me so well bro if i flagged
00:05:08.680
everything you said every uh live stream we wouldn't get a live stream done no but you get what i mean
00:05:13.120
yeah i'm you you know and that's the difference is you know but they don't i know i know and i get
00:05:18.840
that i know where you're coming from but i i think especially as a podcast who is this guy
00:05:22.920
pastor and i think as people who um like at least we aspire you aspire to speak for a living
00:05:27.780
if maybe if you misspeak sometimes or you say something that you don't fully understand at that
00:05:33.360
point it's also good to acknowledge we need to keep watching this 22 minutes of an apology
00:05:37.500
you know i've got people who i love and respect who are muslim who uh who may see that and think
00:05:44.160
oh so that's how he thinks about us right like this is like the real yeah oh the faces slipped and
00:05:50.580
it's like god like i would hate for that you know um do you ever consider i'm bored compare it to
00:05:56.580
kyrie irving who did apologize and he was forced to apologize and they gave him a list of chores let's
00:06:02.020
see what he said was on prime i was like you know what let me see if there are any documentaries on
00:06:05.060
yahweh so went in the search bar typed in yahweh that came up went out and shared it on my platform
00:06:12.500
you guys know what happened with kyrie right he tweeted out a link to a movie about hebrews
00:06:17.540
like wake up black america and then nike removed him now he's saying he's gonna retire
00:06:22.520
the title is i'm not going to stand down anything that i believe in but i thought he apologized
00:06:28.660
that was my night in terms of the backlash or what people call it uh we're in 2022 history is
00:06:36.960
not supposed to be hidden from anybody and i'm not a divisive person when it comes to religion
00:06:41.760
i embrace all walks of life you see it on all my platforms i talk to all races all cultures all
00:06:47.760
religions and my response would be um it's not about educating yourself on what semitism is what
00:06:55.140
anti-semitism is it's really about learning the root words of where these come from and
00:06:59.360
understanding that this is an african heritage that is also belonging to the people africa is in it
00:07:06.260
whether we want to dismiss it or not so the claims of anti-semitism and who are the original chosen
00:07:12.100
people of god and we go into these religious conversations and it's a big no-no i don't live
00:07:16.980
my way like that i don't live my life that way excuse me i grew up in a melting pot and i say a melting
00:07:21.580
pot of all races white black red yellow jewish christian muslim and you can see the way i live
00:07:26.360
my life now i'm not here to be divisive so they could push their i don't want to say they because
00:07:31.560
i'm not identifying any one group or race of people but i'm in a unique position to have a level of
00:07:36.960
influence on my community and what i post does not mean that i support everything that's being said
00:07:42.300
or everything that's being done or i'm campaigning for anything all i do is post things for my people
00:07:47.600
in my community and those that it's actually going to impact i don't think it's an apology
00:07:54.120
it just goes back to the way our world is and works i'm not here to complain about it i just exist
00:07:59.060
and to follow up on the promotion of the movie and the book can you please stop calling it a promotion
00:08:06.540
i think he was promoting it if you tweet the link it's literally you promoting it on your big
00:08:14.200
platform i'm promoting you are put it out on your platform but i'm promoting it do you see me doing
00:08:21.260
do you see in front of you out there people are going to say that you are putting out there just
00:08:25.180
like you put things out there right yeah but i okay it's not putting things out there for a living
00:08:29.160
right right but my stuff great so let's move on filled let's move on anti-semitic let's move on
00:08:34.060

00:08:39.600

00:09:10.180
habits and getting to your i've noticed this from debates and talking to all these people is that
00:09:13.900
they always try to get a moment they want to get you a moment where they're apologizing they want to
00:09:17.500
get you to retract your statements to admit to regret it's not an actual dialogue when the cameras
00:09:23.280

00:09:27.800
effort and the mindset of the team tonight it was a disaster i mean how do you
