Approximately 10 minutes later however, Waleed paused to readdress his joke:
“Before I made a joke at your expense, it was a short joke you’re right … not good enough by me, sorry about that,” he said addressing Steve. “No, that’s OK,” he replied. “I’ve been putting up with it my whole life.” “I know, and I never make those jokes and I know you personally don’t actually care,” Waleed continued. “But after you said it, yeah no that was pretty crap.” “You didn’t need to say that, thank you,” Steve replied. “No, I think I probably did,” Waleed finished.
Waleed Aly has issued an on-air apology to co-host Steve Price following a jibe at the commentator's height. Appearing on The Project, Waleed made a comment which implied that a toy tractor looked like it could belong to Steve.
“Aw, short jokes so early!” Steve replied with a smile.
“Pretty funny though,” Carrie Bickmore added, laughing.
