Listen, we got a lot to talk about today. Where I want to start at is I ain't gonna lie to y', all, man. There's a situation going on with Corey Holcomb and Anton Daniels, and I want to examine it today. You know, everybody's been tagging me, and salute to everybody that every time something happened in culture, y' all tagging me, sending it to me, people on Twitter, people on Instagram, people on Tick Tock, y' all continue to do that, Keep us informed as a community so we can understand the direction we want to take the culture. But everybody's tagging me in this Anton Daniels and Corey Holcomb situation. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. So let's talk about it for people who don't know. Corey Holcomb is a comedian. Anton Daniels is a content creator. So this Anton guy supposedly has a lot of YouTube channels and a lot of views. Corey Holcomb is, you know, legendary comedian, has probably touched every city in America, every club in America at some point in his career. He's been doing it for quite some time. The interesting thing about what we're about to watch is Corey has this bravado about him that his audience has attached to the way that he talks and some of the things that he says, like his consequences for certain conversations. Right. There's consequences behind certain things dealing with him. And so he has presented himself in a way where his audience has received him as authentic. And what they believe authentic is, is once you draw a line, if somebody crossed the line, you gonna handle that like the old Vikings handled it. Yeah, that's all they really saying. You know what I mean? They want you to handle it like the old Vikings handle it, like the old warriors, the old cavemen. Yeah. If a disrespect, you get down where you mad at. And so people looked at Corey Holcomb with this level of admiration because he always said, wow. But, you know, it's so many online talking. Everybody can say wow, but if they don't think you stand on it, it don't weigh nothing. I was paying attention, and we're gonna get to my. My interview with Glasses Malone and that conversation, I was paying attention that some of the viewing audience, not my audience, but the viewing audience on Twitter and other things, their comprehension skills was kind of low because what they saw in that conversation, they didn't understand that me in that conversation was saying, let's not talk about what we gonna do to somebody. Let's not alert the authorities that there's possibly a threat taking place. Let's just go handle the business. And so standing on it for me is action. And so you always hit me down playing on camera unless they done emotionally triggered me. But if I'm in my right state of mind, you're gonna always hear me distance myself from any kind of behavior that puts this business in jeopardy. But what I've noticed after my conversation with Glasses and watching the field react to Aiden and Glasses and all these different things, because a lot of these dudes just be talking and ain't really these kind of individuals, I've noticed that the Internet and corporate America will take threats and certain things from certain people. Like, they'll let you come out and say, I stabbed this dude on my podcast. And they won't even pull your sponsors. They won't even boycott you. Nobody won't believe you. They just saying, we like his passion, but certain of us say that. And the sponsorship start to question. The business partners start to clutch their pearls because they believe that we'll weaponize our success like so many black people have done prior to us. I know there was a lot of people that's in business, and a lot of these guys by now thought that a lot of the podcasters that's still in position wouldn't be in position today, that they would make the same mistakes. I. I would notice when I first came in, they would say, he's just another Tax Stone. And I would tell Charlemagne and I would tell Tax. I would tell other people. What they trying to say is they believe I'm a crash out. They don't believe you can come from some outside of what they believe to be normal life, because they don't even know what I come from. They don't even really understand what I've come from and what I've encountered, been through and conquered. See, you boys have encountered some things. I've conquered some things. Yeah, you went through some things, got defeated and picked yourself back up. I've been involved in situations where I've been encountered with things and I've conquered them, got over them, kept it moving. And so a lot of these people don't know who I am, and they don't. They ain't really interested in who I am. They just want to hear my takes about whatever the hell is going on in culture. And I get that. But when we peel back the layers as it pertains to content, some of us can't use that violent language because people actually believe us. Picture me getting on my podcast and really sending a thread out, being who I am, being how I really move and my background, because that's the problem. You know, my first question be to some of these dudes is, when the last time you were been arrested? When they go to kicking that kind of shit? Because my whole thing is, if you ain't been arrested recently, you want me. See, a lot of people want you to believe they'll jump right off a bridge. Well, hold on. I don't really think that's how it work. Like, there's, There's. There's signs and tendencies in violent people, right? And even people that's been violent in their life, right, they may put it down and they may have been removed from acting that way, but in their past, at some point, you can see, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, that might be violent. Some of these guys are able to get on these podcasts with such violent rhetoric because don't nobody believe them. And that's crazy, but it's true. Corey Holcomb was someone that people actually believed. And that's why when he got into it with Anton Daniels and it unfolded this way, people were surprised. Let's take a look at what happened between Corey Holcomb and Anton Daniels. We gonna come back with some commentary. I'm gonna break down what I see happening in real time, and then we'll get to it. Pay attention.
