Hailing from the North of England, True Geordie is a passionate Newcastle United supporter. He burst onto the scene in 2013 with a fiery takedown of ex-Newcastle player Nile Ranger. Brian Davis ripped into Ranger describing him as useless and didn’t have enough talent to play for the first team.
It turns out he was right as Rangers career has gone downhill since leaving Tyneside. He has come along way, from recording rant videos on an iPhone to building a successful podcast on YouTube.
Before making YouTube his full-time career, he worked as a deep sea diving instructor but quit to focus his attention on creating videos. The start was tough, he struggled financially for months because he had no sponsors at the time. Luckily, he survived through difficult times and secured a lucrative brand deal with Coral, a sports betting company in the UK.
The Geordie has a loyal following due to his no nonsense approach, generating well over 100,000 views per video. Brian’s not the type of person to hold back! Typically his audience are guys aged from 16 to 40 years old that listen in their spare time or during their boring office job.
Brian can’t take all the credit for the success of his channel, co-host Laurence McKenna played a key role as his sidekick. Without Laurence the podcast wouldn’t have taken off, at times Laurence was annoying, constantly interrupting guests but fans loved his sense of humour.
How much does he make?
Brian makes an estimated £250,000 per year from running a popular podcast and YouTube channel. Brian’s YouTube channel has 2.19 million subscribers and the Kick Off channel has moved to Twitch. The Kick Off was expensive to run and moving to Twitch allows him to make a lot more money. He’s an excellent interviewer and has got some big names onto his podcast such as Logan Paul, Tyson Fury and Alan Shearer.
He has built up a massive following and makes money through brand deals with the likes of PokerStars and GymShark. After making inappropriate comments about Andrew Tate both brands dropped him. The public backlash and loss of sponsorships, led to the cancellation of The Kick Off. McKenna quickly left and the pair are no longer friends.
Is True Geordie married?
True Geordie is married to Holly Davies and they have a kid together. In earlier videos, he mentioned his wife frequently and used to wear a wedding ring. When True Geordie was involved in a sexting scandal, fans were surprised to find out he had a wife! Brian likes to keep his family life private and his privacy should be respected.
