WEBVTT - Can We Forgive Millionaire US Open Hat Snatcher? 0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:05.680 Hey there, folks. It is September the second, and the 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:11.800 hat snatcher has apologized. Is that enough? Apparently to a 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:15.400 lot of people, that's not enough and think he should 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:18.880 suffer much much more. And with that, welcome to this 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.759 episode of Amy and TJ Romes. This story really really, 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:25.759 really really took off because it looks bad. It looks 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:29.360 really bad. There's a tennis superstar handing a hat to 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:32.400 a kid, a fan, a little fan, and a grown 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:34.800 man snatches it. It looked awful. 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.120 The reality is this was caught on a live broadcast, 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.839 so there was nothing that was. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:43.040 Obviously. 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:44.960 Neither one of them knew they were on camera, so 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.879 what happened was real. It happened in real time, and 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.159 you can slow it down and watch it happen. The 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:55.480 tennis star Camille Maijak was getting inundated with fans. Everyone 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.840 was very excited, and so he was handing a bunch 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.200 of stuff out. But you can clearly see he is 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.560 handing the hat off his head to this seeming like 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.559 nine ten year old kid and you can just see 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:11.360 him excitedly reaching for it as a grown ass man 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.640 literally comes in from the side, swoops in and just 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.400 takes the hat, and then you can see the kid 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:24.039 whose jaw literally drops and says, wait, I forget yes, 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:24.360 I do. 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:25.399 I have his actual quote. 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.360 I can tell you what this kid actually say to 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.399 the man who just took and the man he turns 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.480 out it's forty. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.319 Forty two years two years old. 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.480 We see the kid turns to the grown man and 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.960 almost exclaim like, what are you doing? 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:41.520 Yeah, the kid says, what are you doing? 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.800 That's exactly what that brock was a little boy's name, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.360 and that's exactly what he said, what are you doing? 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.520 So you imagine this happened. This is live again, no editing. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.080 So this happened last Thursday at the US Open. We 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.960 know it's hot right now and going on, but this 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.160 is a big, big, big part of the US Open. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.440 And this is the thing I say, Robes, I love 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.240 most about the US Open that first week is you 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.600 have so much access to the side court. You can 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.840 get up close and personal with a lot of the athletes. 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.239 But you see them have these gaggles almost with these 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.600 kids that they hold who have these big tennis balls 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.520 or a hat or something, trying to get an autograph. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.280 And these tennis stars take the time to do it Now. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.400 I have been to the US Open and seen Serena 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:30.200 Williams signing stuff, walking right by her as she's doing it. 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.639 I was excited as anything. You know what I did. No, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.720 that's for the kids. It's for no matter how excited 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.720 you are, So start with that with this guy. Why 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.720 is he even competing with a child or an audience? 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:46.680 It looks terrible. 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.400 And then when we find out who this guy is, 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.519 because of course, what happens is this video goes up, 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.400 people take note of it. They start slowing it down 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.000 frame by frame. They find out who this guy is, 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.680 and it turns out his name is Peter Shazak. 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:02.800 He is a. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:08.160 Polish millionaire CEO. He owns a paving company, and he 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.240 was excited that a fellow Polish tennis star had won. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.240 So he was swept up in the excitement. His family 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:16.960 was with him, his wife was with him, and he 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.679 says his two sons were with him as well. But God, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.000 even as a father, I feel like that makes it 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:22.639 even worse. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.560 It's maybe if he was a single guy, he wasn't 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:26.079 thinking about it. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.920 He's a father and he still stole from someone else's child. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.720 This is where I will step in as and I 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.680 think some parents and you will too, the things we 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.960 have done and try to go get for our. 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.120 Kids at the expense of someone else's child. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.120 We're not saying that, but to see him in there 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.720 clamoring for something for his kid, maybe I could buy 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.360 that part of it. And again, folks, we are not 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.000 at any way editorializing this video. It is unmistakable. 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.640 Yeah, if you haven't seen it, please go watch it. 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.200 Yes, so it's this is not an interpretation of the video. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.560 What happened happened. Again, he's there, and so we have 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.800 the answer for why he's there. The video now goes 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.080 everywhere and again rose after he snatches the hat, I 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.360 don't even think he acknowledges the boy next to him. Oh, 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.920 he turns and hands the hat to I believe it's 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:17.240 his wife. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.560 I thought he stuffed it in a back. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.160 Yeah, the woman was holding the bag. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:21.920 He put it in a bag, immediately goes in. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.880 The kid is on the video literally looking at him 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.080 like what have you done? 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.520 Like why can't I get my hat back? 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.479 And the man completely ignores the kid And maybe he 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.200 didn't see him. I have a hard time believing that. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.200 But fine, he doesn't even acknowledge the kid to the 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.799 point where it's almost apparent he knows the kid is upset, 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.960 and he doesn't want to turn around and look at 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.479 the kid. He doesn't want to acknowledge the pain he's 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.800 just caused, so he keeps his back turned to the 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:51.960 kid the entire time. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.840 And the kid is a door. And what makes it worse, 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.839 the kid is adorable, like he is the perfect tennis fan. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.600 He's like ten years old. They forgot name. His name 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.839 was Brock, that's perfect. But he had this long, shaggy 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.800 kind of blonde hair, right, yes, he was just perfect, 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.280 like how are you up? But he reacted the way 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.479 all of us did, like what are you doing? 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.599 So genuinely it was and he was like did that 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.839 just actually happens? 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:17.000 That's what I thought? 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.440 And you could see that was the energy and everything 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.640 that kid was putting out was like what the hell? 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.080 How did this man just do that? 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.960 Okay, So to all of this, so this is the drama, 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.200 this is the situation, this is the video that so 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.719 many have seen and robes it actually got worse. So 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.839 he goes viral with the video, people figure out who 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:42.680 he is, and then he goes even more viral after 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.520 he I said that in air quotes puts out a 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.320 statement in response to how viral he has gone. 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.240 And so I actually want to be fully transparent here 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.800 because when we get ready in the morning for morning run, 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.680 we each take different stories. This was my story, and 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.839 I was watching Obviously I watched the video, but then 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.960 I was watching news reports, and that's where I saw 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:10.560 that this CEO, millionaire Peter Shazaik, put out a statement 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.599 and the news anchors were just aghast. They were editorializing 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.720 in a way that most news anchors don't, but just saying, hey, 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.520 I'm having a hard time reading this, but guys, take 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.520 a listen to what this man put out in a statement. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.080 And it was everywhere and everyone was reacting to this 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.800 statement that was allegedly written by the man who stole 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.720 the hat. It reads, yes I took it, Yes I 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.520 did it quickly. But as I've always said, life is 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.039 first come, first served. I understand that some people might 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.560 not like it, but please, let's not make a global 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:44.960 scandal out of the hat. 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.840 It's just a hat. If you were faster, you would 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.760 have it, which is just the most awful thing. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.440 And then it goes on to basically say, if you 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.240 keep complaining about me and my company, because he's recognizing, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.159 or at least acknowledging in this statement that people have 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.520 now found out who he works for, that he's a 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.960 CEO of this company. Basically, I will pursue legal action 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.360 against you if you continue to say terrible things about me. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.240 And then the news anchor was saying, hey, and this 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.040 was all in Polish. It's been translated. This is the 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:22.000 best translation. But my goodness, how could somebody say this 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.640 after they've done what they've not? People were just outraged. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.600 So then that created a whole other heap of hate. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.440 And I had put this in Morning Run and you're like, babe, 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.000 it doesn't look like he actually said the statement. I 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.000 was like, what, So it goes to show and I 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.320 just want to point this out. It's always whatever is reported, 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.760 which is the salacious, horrific thing that he was reported 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.480 to have said. That's everywhere everywhere. I did not see 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.520 anywhere that had taken it down or had said we 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.920 put this up an error. It turns out he didn't 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.720 make this statement. We actually don't know where this statement came, 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.360 none of that, And I actually had to do a 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:04.400 deep dive to find anyone who even briefly acknowledged that 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.560 there was a false statement potentially put out, or that 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:08.880 they didn't know where this statement. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.320 The retraction is never there. The amount of press you 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:13.720 get for the wrong. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:20.280 Information is ginormous, and then there's almost no attention given 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.440 at all to the false nature of that statement. So 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.080 it turns out he didn't actually put that out there, 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.320 and when you read it, it's ridiculous. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.080 As soon as you read it, and that this has 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.040 happened a couple of times. It's something recently. I can't 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.840 remember the incident, but something like this happened where somebody reacted. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.800 There was a statement that went around that was just 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.000 it was fake. It's fault. But it gets going, and 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.480 so so much negativity, so much hate has gone this 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.280 guy's way, and so much of it that we have 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:54.079 read is specifically based on comments they think he made 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.200 that he actually didn't make. And just it has to 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:05.480 please everybody. Take a beat. Please before you condemn somebody. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.120 Tell someone that they need to lose their job, lose 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.920 their way of life, their company needs to fold. He 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.000 made a mistake. We're not defending that, but Robes, this 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:20.120 is another prime example of how dangerous this is. And 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:26.240 you damn right, this is very personal to us because 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:31.160 a lie was told, it got going and there's nothing 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.280 you can do to stop it, and it cost us 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.080 careers that we had. Don't know what it might end 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.720 up costing this guy, but we have seen all kinds 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.160 of hate going his way, and they specifically say it's 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.160 based on what he said in that statement, that statement 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.880 that he actually didn't say, what the what are we 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:49.400 supposed to do? 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:53.520 It's gutting because you can, you can obviously still feel 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.079 upset by what you saw by this man's actions, absolutely 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.400 say what he did was wrong. And I believe to 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.640 think that this false statement that was said as if 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.160 he said it, and then the other layer, the whole 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.360 other round of hate that came his way because of it. 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:11.800 Think about that. 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:16.360 Imagine, once someone says you said something, it doesn't matter 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.080 if you said it or not. And to your point, TJ, 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:23.200 it is personal. Once people say a picture represents something 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:27.160 that it doesn't, you can't untell that story. And it's 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.280 so difficult when every day people will bring back up 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.360 something that actually was never true and you can never 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.920 fully combat it. So yes, on that level, I feel 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.720 for him because yes, he did something wrong, Yes he 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.840 needs to apologize, which we'll get into, and he did, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:50.559 and yes, are those people still humans who have an 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.080 opportunity to do better, be better, grow from this, and actually, 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.880 can we give people second chances? Can we give people 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.600 a beat to recognize where they made a mistake and 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.360 then do better. I just it's disheartening to me how 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.719 much we just always want a good guy and a 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.679 bad guy. We can't ever accept the fact that maybe 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.400 someone is made a bad choice but isn't a bad person. 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:20.959 We don't ever give people that I guess, that that 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:22.240 I don't know. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:23.040 Like just that grace. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.560 There's no other word for it other than grace. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:30.360 Because the thing always we judge other people by their 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.040 worst actions, and we judge ourselves by our best intentions. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.040 And so the way we can keep that balance. And 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.360 again I've learned this through therapists and all kinds of 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:45.000 people who have we've talked to over the years about projecting, Like, 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.720 why are we attacking this guy for a mistake? We like, 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.120 we can put we can heap everything on him because 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.240 we see what he screwed up, we see the mistake 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.200 he made, Well, how bad of a mistake have you 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:01.080 made this week last week in your family that we 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.920 all don't know about. He made an awful mistake. We 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.480 are not rose and I are not defending at all 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.760 what this dude did, but I'm also not defending the 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:16.360 response to it either. So this man, yes, he did 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.680 put out a statement, kind of a linky statement as 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.840 as well, and we'll let you hear word for word 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:27.319 what he said and how he apologized unequivocally for what happened. 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.439 But also we want to continue to ask that question, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:36.720 what punishment does this man deserve and what right do 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.600 you have to decide it. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.800 Welcome back to this edition of Amy and TJ, where 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:55.720 we are talking about the hat grab that went round 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.880 the world from Peter Shazik taking that hat that was 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.360 intended clearly for a ten year old boy next to him. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.839 He has actually dealt with not only the backlash from 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.560 that action that he certainly needs to and has taken 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.920 responsibility for, but he is dealing with backlash for a 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:20.120 statement he never even made, where someone jumped in in 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.840 Polish to make it seem more legit, saying something outrageous 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.320 that he never actually said. So, if you're interested in 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:32.360 hearing what SHA's Eric actually said, what his true statement was, 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.920 We actually have it here for you, and this is legit. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.199 This came from him directly, not from someone posing as him. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.720 And we'll piece this together because it's kind of kind 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.240 of long here. But he starts by saying, due to 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:51.680 the situation that occurred during Camille Myijack's eijacks match at 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.160 the US Open, I would like to sincerely apologize to 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.960 the injured boy, his family, all the fans, and the 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:02.080 player himself. I made a great mistake. In the midst 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:06.200 of emotion amidst the crowd celebration after his victory, I 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.440 was convinced the tennis player was offering his cap to 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:14.080 me for my sons, who had asked for an autograph earlier. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:20.200 A mistaken belief made me instinctively reach out. Today, I 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:24.000 know I did something that looked like deliberately taking a 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.240 souvenir from a child. It wasn't my intention, but it 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.840 doesn't change the fact that I hurt the boy and 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.920 disappointed the fans. You buy that so far, so good? 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.000 Yeah, I think that was a really good apology. I 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.040 think that's a really good apology. I have to say, look, 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:45.800 it's it's embarrassing, it's humiliating to admit that you let 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.680 your own excitement and maybe it was for what you 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:55.240 wanted for your children to overtake logic, overtake just having 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.000 any sort of situational awareness. How many times do we 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.000 encounter and do I find myself all of us do 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.320 find ourselves not being situationally aware. We know what we want, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.880 we know what we need, we know what maybe our 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.480 children want, and we're not thinking about other people's kids. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.400 We're not thinking about the people around us. And all 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.560 of us have done that to some degree in a 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:16.680 crowd at some. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.120 Point, and sometimes it just comes off as inconsiderate. Maybe 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.240 you step off in front of somebody when you getting 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:26.120 off an elevator, maybe you don't give a little gear. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.680 Crowded streets, small whatever. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.160 Little things happen, and we are all unaware, and we 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.240 all make mistakes. He made it in front of cameras, 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.920 and we made it to the worst possible victim, right, 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.280 but it was still a mistake, yes, And be. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:46.000 That I do think that people, we all make mistakes, 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.480 and I think that so far, I really appreciate this 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.440 apology because unfortunately the statement that was attributed to him 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.920 earlier was so egregious. I just worry that that's the 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.960 only one people who are going to read. That's the 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.080 only one people are gonna see. People aren't going to 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.120 actually hear what he really did have to say, because sadly, 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.000 when you do take a beat and you don't actually 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:12.400 immediately respond, turns out people will respond for you and 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.760 you can't undo it. That's what's so scary about the 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:16.800 world we live in now. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.200 But why can't we all we just assume, I don't know, 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.960 you know what robes this is. Probably I should give 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.360 people a break. Why wouldn't they just believe what I 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.400 don't know, believe what they see. There's a statement just 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:29.440 running around, Babe. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.320 I believed it, just babe. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.120 I not only did I see it, but then I 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.240 was like, let me go actually investigate. And I started 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.920 pulling up news reports and they were all repeating this 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:40.800 false statement. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.760 So, yeah, I fell for it. I fell for it. 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.880 So his statement, his actual statement goes on to say 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.240 the cap was given to the boy and an apology 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.520 to the family, meaning he returned the cap. I hope 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.880 I have at least partially repaired the harm. I also 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.920 want to make it clear, neither I, my wife, nor 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:06.120 my sons commented on this situation in any way social 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.840 media and on any other portal. We did not use 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.400 the services of any law. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:12.320 Firm in this regard. 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:18.080 All alleged statements appearing online are not our own. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.480 Now, would that trigger anyone to take something down? Know? 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.360 Who's going to read that? Who's going to see this one? 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:23.679 No? 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.640 This is because it's not sexy. Right Still, it doesn't 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.480 make a cool headline, it's not fun and funny. You 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.560 can't attack a guy for this. What do you attack 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.560 him for? Yes, he messed up? Please, I hope no one. 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:35.440 We've said it right. 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.200 You're not defending what he absolutely made a mistake. 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.720 He made a mistake. But that's where we're we are. 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.640 We end up right having an indictment of the person's 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.320 character based on the moment that they have. So you 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.560 make a mistake, that means you are evil? 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:53.160 You are your mistake. 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.720 Yes, I don't know, none of us. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.520 None of us want to be our worst mistake, and 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.040 we don't want to be remembered from worse mistake, and 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:07.159 we don't want to never be able to move past 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.000 our worst mistake. So if you don't want that for yourself. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.480 My hope is that we can all extend that to him. 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.800 He goes on to say, my wife and I have 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.760 been involved in helping children and young athletes for years, 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.040 but this situation has shown me that one moment of 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:27.120 inattention can destroy years of work and support. It is 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.000 a painful, but a lesson in humility. It is painful, 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:32.840 but a lesson in humility is needed. 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:33.760 Wow. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:39.000 Therefore, I will be even more actively involved in initiatives 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.720 supporting children and young people, and in actions against violence 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.560 and hate. I believe that only through actions can I 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:50.480 rebuild the lost trust. Once again, I apologize to everyone 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:54.760 I have disappointed. Please understand. Out of concern for my family, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.080 I have decided to disable commenting on this post. 0:18:58.600 --> 0:18:59.920 That was actually really smart. 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.840 Yours, sincerely, Peter Shazik. 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.159 That's a that's an apology, well done. 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.080 I agree, is it not? Yes? 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.879 So, I mean he's taken full responsibility for it. But this, 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.359 but I mean, this should be This should be a 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:21.280 template for apologies. One moment of inattention can destroy years 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.399 of work and support one moment. And he's right, and 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:28.199 that sucks. But how many CEOs, how many things have 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.200 we seen where companies are hurting? I guess Tesla is 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.840 a high profile situation for all kinds of reasons, but 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:39.040 just any moment that the ceo appears to be doing 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.359 something wrong, the whole company can. 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:46.160 Yeah, Walter no, And speaking of his company on Google, 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.440 the company has received so they've found out the company 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:54.439 he is ceo of the company now has plummeted to 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.280 just one point two stars. So you know you can 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.560 you can rate a company. It's a sick stars to 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.760 one star on Google review. His company is now at 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.440 one point two stars. One of the reviews. I'll read 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:09.240 it for you just to give you an idea of 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.000 what people are leaving in the review column. The ceo 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:17.560 of this company doesn't have any morals, stealing from children 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.720 and then defending himself in public. Don't ever do business 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:22.879 with this company. 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:30.439 Based on a falsehood. She is telling the world, don't 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:34.919 do business here this guy. She's trying to shut him down. 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:41.280 I don't know what to just please caution, I just caution, folks, 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:43.360 I caution you. Even if you hate what he did, 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.919 which I hate what he did, he apologized for it, 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.800 and why do we start with he must be evil 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.359 for why don't we start with, Okay, this was a 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.000 good guy who made a mistake versus he's a terrible guy, 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:55.119 and he just confirmed it for me. 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.720 We all have moments of bad judgment, yes, And if 0:20:57.800 --> 0:20:58.560 you're honest with. 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.280 Yourself, you know you have. 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.520 And there have been so many of those moments where 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.840 you are thanking God that no one else saw, that 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:07.399 no one else knew, that no one else was rolling 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.119 on you, that no one else was recording you. 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:13.880 With what you did or said or whatever. 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.480 But we've all been there, not to that extent. And 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.280 I'm not saying that that is what we like. I 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:22.359 get it, and we all feel better about ourselves thinking 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.679 I would never do that. And see, that's what this 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.520 all comes down to. We watched that video and we 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.600
