Now y' all know I'm always looking for things that actually make life easier and this is one of them. One thing I wish I understood sooner was how much money people lose paying unnecessary bank fees, monthly fees and overdraft fees. That all adds up. That's why I like what Chime is doing. They're changing the way people bank with fee free banking that's built for everyday people, not just the 1%. If you get paid through direct deposit, you unlock the most rewarding way to bank. With Chime, members can benefit from up to $1,150 in annual rewards and fee free. You can earn 5% cash back in a category of your choice like gas or groceries.

And with MyPay, eligible members can access up to $500 of their pay before payday. Plus SpotMe lets eligible members overdraft up to $200 fee free. Real talk. My younger self would have definitely benefited from something like this. And my younger self did benefit from this. Chime is not only smarter banking, it's the most rewarding way to bank.

Grits
Take a little while to figure it
Eagle Witt
out, you know, it's not like long hair is one thing.
Grits
Long time.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
Yeah. Cause when I had this, like, my third set of locs. So when I. When I. The only reason I cut my last set of locs is Cause I was like, man, I want a bald fade, bro. Like, I want, like, a juvenile fade. I want my shit up to the top, and I want to wear hats again comfortably. And then it's like, bro, my hair grow so fat, though. I'm like, man, I don't know about this. This ain't the look. Maybe I go curly top. It take a little while.
Eagle Witt
Time to meet right now because I got to fade with the waves. But, like, the fade grows in fast. I'd be kind of annoyed by how fast this shit grows in.
Big Cat
That's. That's. That's a mixed nigga problem.
Grits
I don't know about it. Yeah, yeah.
Eagle Witt
I feel like it is a mixed nigga problem.
Grits
Nah, it's 100. Yeah, yeah, that's. I mean, that's why I was like, I'm gonna just light my hair back up.
Eagle Witt
You want to hear a crazy mixed nigga story with the waves? So. So my man's growing up. He had the craziest waves, right? And I grew up, like, I was raised by my black side. All my friends growing up was black. So in my mind, like, I'm black. You know what I mean? So, like, I. When I cut my hair, I was like, bro, I want to get waves. So I hit him up. I'm like, bro, how do I do this? Sneaking put me on to mad pomades and shit, right? I was using it. My hair went straight. I was like, what the fuck?
Grits
Right?
Eagle Witt
And I'm ragging up with the pomades, my hair going straight, bro. I look. I look wild, like Puerto Rican or something. Like, I was like, what the fuck? So I stopped waving, right? And I just had a little Jason Tatum haircut for a minute. You probably seen that. This nigga switched up.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
And then I tried one more time, and I ain't use no pomade, nothing. Just a little water. Just brush a lot, put on rag. She got super wavy. And I was like, oh, I'm dumb. We got a different curl pattern. Like, I can't use the shit he uses.
Grits
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That nigga have you out here looking like Arthur Morgan, bro.
Eagle Witt
It was crazy.
Grits
This nigga, like, he read Arthur Morgan, bro.
Eagle Witt
Realist. And he was confused, too. He like, why is it not working, bro? This shit worked for me. Yeah, we both was slow.
Grits
Yeah, I gotta grow my hair out. Like, I gotta have a nice little fro going for me to wave my shit up.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, yeah. My shit's a little long, so it's like a three.
Grits
I just keep that shit low, and if it's not low, just go curly top and just rock out.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
But at the end of the day, it's like, my hair grows so fast. I was like, man, I'm just locking my hair back up. I don't got time for this shit.
Eagle Witt
I was thinking about growing my hair back out. I fucked my edges up. I used to get my shit braided so much that this shit is all fucked up in the front line up. Yeah. So it's like, that's, you know, rolling that. Pulling.
Big Cat
Yeah, pulling.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, yeah.
Grits

Big Cat
Oh, yeah, you was pulling your shit.

Hereditary might be the best gay movie.
Grits
It's the greatest ever. I'm. I'm putting it top three forever.

Sure, I can't put it over Exorcist,

Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grits
Go ahead, pop your. Though.
Eagle Witt
No, I had a crazy hereditary story. But as I was about to say it, I was like, I probably shouldn't say this on the podcast.
Grits
Why not?
Eagle Witt
Crazy. I almost feel bad. But you know what? We'll have a little fun. I did a show. Once this lady comes out, I'm gonna clean this story up. This lady comes out, and she looked real familiar, right? And she actually didn't look familiar now I think about it. She didn't look familiar at first. Older. Older white lady. And she like hitting on me. And I'm like, not with the shits. And she keep going. Her friend go, hey, man, you might want to talk to her. You know, she big in Hollywood. I said, oh, yeah? What you do? She said, well, my daughter is like, big actress. I said, who's your daughter? The little bitch from Hereditary. And then I looked at the mom and I said, oh, my God, these niggas got the same face. This is crazy. This is crazy. They had the exact same face. It was nuts. It was so crazy. I was like, oh, my God, bitch. This is crazy.
Big Cat
Nah.
Eagle Witt
Exact same face, bro.
Big Cat
Can't lead off with that.
Eagle Witt
And then she showed her other daughter, same face.

Oh, this is hereditary.
Big Cat
Face hereditary.

Oh,
Big Cat

Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
They seen that family.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
God damn.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, bro.
Big Cat
Perfect.
Grits
Somebody saw. They saw.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
Did something, somebody sacrifice their soul?
Eagle Witt
Well, it's funny because I thought it was like a, you know, like a thing.
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
That made her look like that. Yeah, that's just how they look.
Grits
No, it's just they think. Hey, I mean, I'm not gonna lie. My.
Eagle Witt
That's what I was trying to clean up. I didn't know how to say that.
Big Cat
I mean, there's no way to clean it up.
Grits
You just gotta let that. What?
Big Cat
It's what it is, dog.
Grits
You know what I'm saying? She is who she is.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
Yo, listen, and also, like, like, you're not big in Hollywood, cuz. That's your daughter.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
You know, absolutely not.
Grits
I'm just Keep it real. I'm bigger than her.
Eagle Witt
Trying to put too much on it. Her friend was trying to be the best wingman ever.
Grits
Oh, my God.
Big Cat
She put a lot on it.
Eagle Witt
She.
Grits
Yeah, I, I. You. You really give the white women hell. But they do it to themselves.
Eagle Witt
I do.
Grits
You do. And then they do it to themselves.
Eagle Witt
I give white women hell. But, you know, it's so funny because everybody noticed I give white women hell. And keep in mind, I'm gonna slow down on that. Cause I don't want white women to be what trans people is to Chappelle. I don't want white women to be for me, I don't want to have one topic where people like, well, he always talking about this. So once the first special job, nigga, I'm done with white women. But I just like giving groups, especially in whiteness, that don't get enough hell. Hell, like, I talk shit about liberal white people constantly. I talk shit about liberal white people more than I talk shit about conservative white people, because I just feel like they don't get enough heat.
Grits
I'm gonna be the person to tell you, you know, I'm 154 episodes in. I'm talking shit about white people. So you don't have to really worry about it. I think it's a sustainable thing.
Eagle Witt
No, no, it's very sustainable.
Grits
They need that smoke.
Eagle Witt
They need that smoke. But I definitely target the ones in the group who get the less of the smoke.
Grits
Yeah. Like when you said how they're like, yeah, that was a very. That was a succinct way of saying it. That you. You weapon. What would you say using oppression as privilege.
Eagle Witt
Use oppression as a privilege. Why does that sound so fun, so familiar?
Grits
It's your joke.
Eagle Witt
I know. I forget my own jokes.
Grits
I'm like, you said using oppression as privilege. Like. Like, basically about being women. Basically white women. If he called me.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. Like, they'll call you a. And be like, you can't hit me.
Big Cat
Can't hit me.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, yeah, Now I remember the joke. Yeah.
Grits
Nah, white women will do that too.
Eagle Witt
100% they will. They hide behind being a woman.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
And it's like, I get it. And that is an oppressive state to be a woman. But y' all still not as oppressed as black men in America, so. What are you talking about?
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Why do I gotta bow down for your shit?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
And why you can get that off? Like, I ain't gonna lie, man. I think. I think I would be a little bit more. It's just that I want n to up their quality of white women when they decide to be in interracial relationships.
Eagle Witt
Well, I was gonna ask you, how do you feel about interracial relationships? Cause that's the only part of me as a militant nigga that's not super militant, because I'm mixed. So I just feel like it's my being, so it feels. I'm torn.
Grits
I mean. Yeah. You know, as a biracial. You know what I'm saying? But I was. See, this is the thing about me. You know, I'm biracial, but I was adopted at birth. Oh, okay, okay, okay. The only thing I know is black people.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, yeah.
Grits
My mom are black. And I mean, my birth parents, my biological parents, white mom, black dad.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, yeah.
Grits
Real North Carolina shit.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
But my. My parents is black black, man.
Eagle Witt
You don't only buy Rachel to beat the charges.
Grits
Oh, for sure.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. Because you ain't never met her.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
Hey, look, man.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
I'm saying this is a product. That white mama is really a thing.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. But you ain't meter.
Grits
Yeah. Dodge the bullet, son.
Big Cat
I love seeing biracial kids come together. Just come together.
Eagle Witt
That's what we said. We gonna call this episode.
Grits
One whole nigga, one whole.
Eagle Witt
Two niggas.
Grits
Two are possible. But nah, the thing is, is that it's like, this is my thing. I think that everybody. You know, race mixing has been. That's America. You know what I mean? Whether it was consensual or not, it is a thing. And I think that as long as your reasoning for dating white women ain't because you. Well, Black women it is. And black women, like, yo, like, if you gotta put down your own race to justify dating outside your race, I don't fuck with it.
Eagle Witt
I don't fuck with it either.
Grits
But if this somebody you just fell in love with and it's genuine, I can't. What am I saying?
Eagle Witt
Get it how you live. I will say this. See, I'm a weird person. I think conceptually, like, and this is how I am with a lot of shit in life. I can understand things without participating.
Grits
Yeah, that's the same way. I just don't know what I'm gonna talk to a white woman about.
Eagle Witt
That's my thing. And keep in mind, I'll keep it a stack. I've had sex with white women. I've never been in a relationship with a white woman, and I never would be. You know, I just don't know how we can engage on that deep of a level.
Big Cat
I mean, is trying to survive at this point. Sometimes.
Grits
Yeah, I think nigga trying to survive. So sometimes, man, when you see the white woman, that certain niggas is with you like that boy going through it, man. Yeah, yeah, this is insurance policy.
Big Cat
Yeah. He gotta survive.
Grits
You know what I'm saying? This is his. This is. This is his form of a college degree.
Big Cat
College degree is up there. Yeah.
Grits
I tell niggas all the time, like, don't stop coming up with black women. Having a black woman support you, and then you get a little success and then you leave her for a white woman. Like, reverse that come up off the white.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, you should leave the white one for a black woman once you get up.
Big Cat
Yeah, for sure.
Eagle Witt
High school ball players should be with a white girl.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Make it to the A and then switch.
Grits
Switch.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, yeah, that's fire.
Grits
Russell Wilson.
Big Cat
Wilson did it smart.
Eagle Witt
Oh, Russell Wilson did at the draft.
Grits
Yeah.
Big Cat
Right at the. Right after college.
Grits
Because did you see how that white woman, she was happy? Yo, she had. It was all 32. She was like, you never seen that picture?
Eagle Witt
No
Big Cat
crazy ones.
Grits
I'll show you this.
Big Cat
She just knows she hit the lottery, son.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't do a relationship with a white woman. But to each his own, you know? I mean, like, if somebody else does it, good for you, man. Figure it out. It ain't for me. Look how she looks. That's crazy.
Grits
She looked.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, that's silly.
Big Cat
She's like, yeah, baby.
Grits
Nah, no, listen, I'm gonna tell you something. He saw that picture and was like,
Eagle Witt
no, nah, nah, you gotta get rid
Grits
of that Yeah, I gotta get rid of that. That's a demon.
Eagle Witt
That's all you.
Grits
That's the white devil right there, man.
Big Cat
If he would have kept that girl, he would have told at least. Yeah.
Grits
Running from the police. Yeah. I ain't gonna hold you, though. Like, I'm really into each his own type, nigga.
Eagle Witt
Same, same, same.
Grits
But I am also kind of a yo. Don't be like, super pro militant black. And then you just like, yeah, this is. And here's Kimberly.
Eagle Witt
No, no, no, I'm with that, too. If you super militant and your girl, your wife is a white girl. I question it.
Grits
Yeah, yeah.
Eagle Witt
So you know all the history, and that's your choice.
Big Cat
That's what you're doing.
Grits
Afrocentric and, like, you know the history of white people. You know the history of politics and
Eagle Witt
then the history of white women with black men when you crazy. History.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
You see what I'm saying?
Eagle Witt
How they tore down everything because of that? Over and over again, over and over, nigga.
Grits
They're the catalyst for a lot of, like, towns being ravaged. They're the catalyst for a lot of lynchings. They're the catalyst for a lot of niggas getting their dicks cut off. Just straight up. And then I. It's like sometimes you'll see, like, the most beautiful Afrocentric black woman. And, like, she know her history. She well read. She a boho type vibe. Shorty was like, yeah. And then here's. This is Thomas, and it's like, pasty ass white.
Big Cat
What's going on?
Grits
Yeah, Thomas, you pulled. You one, boy.
Big Cat
That'd be the thing. When. When white. When white men get the sisters, they be looking good. When the brothers get the white women, they be looking like.
Eagle Witt
I'm not gonna lie, bro. You so right, bro. With a black girl, it'd be the finest.
Grits
He get a black.
Big Cat
Yeah, he get it. Like, get some nice.
Grits
Yeah, something nice. Yeah, you go get him a real.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
Ting will take whatever they can get.
Big Cat
Yeah. Trying to survive.
Grits
Yeah. You know, white man, they go top shelf. Black one.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grits
And you go, taco vodka, white one.
Eagle Witt
Yo, yo, black man won't even. Won't even go. You know how you in the store, you go for the bottle on the back.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
It's the colder bottle don't even do that. They just. Let me get this first one right here. Yeah.
Grits
Oh, man, what is this? Christian Brothers. I'll take it.
Big Cat
I'll take it, baby.
Grits
Yeah. Let's talk about something else. Just because this happened, like, yo, Scarface and Scarface y' all was fighting over this bony white bitch. Like, yo, this the bitch is. Scarface is.
Eagle Witt
I think I never. I never got through Scarface.
Grits
Really?
Big Cat
Really.
Eagle Witt
I don't. I don't even like it.
Grits
Really.
Eagle Witt
I watched a couple minutes of it. I feel like I'm the only person I know that don't like it. I watched a couple minutes of it. I was like, eh, I'm gonna keep
Grits
it a big turn. It's not the best movie in the world when you watch it with adult eyes. It's like, all right. With adult eyes. Shot of Stills holds up. Shotas is still a good movie.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Grits
Belly's is still that.
Eagle Witt
Belly's amazing.
Grits
But Scarface, when you look back on, you like, man, this shit's stupid, man.
Eagle Witt
I thought it was so dumb. I watched. I might have watched 20 minutes of it, and I turned it off. I was like, I don't think this. I saw how long it was, too.
Grits
I said, yeah, niggas went on the first drug deal. The homie got his arm cut off with a chainsaw, everything.
Big Cat
Cause a homie. Yeah, yeah.
Grits
But the bigger thing is this, like, yo, this nigga slimed his boss out and took his girl. And this is a skinny. Like, this is 1980s anorexic white bitch
Eagle Witt
that was in back then.
Grits
Not even cute.
Eagle Witt
They fucked with that back then.
Grits
Yeah, a bag of bones.
Big Cat
That was top level back then.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, back then, they fucked with that.
Big Cat
That was it. Cokehead.
Grits
Yeah, she was definitely on that blow.
Eagle Witt
You watch like, Pulp Fiction, they was going up for skinny white bitches.
Big Cat
Pulp Fiction is a great movie.
Eagle Witt
Pulp Fiction is fire.
Grits
Yeah, this makes sense.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, back then, that was the era.
Big Cat
That was a thing.
Grits
Yeah, I want white women to get back to that, though. Like, why y' all getting bbls? Go start back getting bulimia.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, you know, I don't like. I don't.
Grits
I don't like having to bulimic white bitches.
Eagle Witt
I don't like that Kim Kardashian gets credit for the BBO. Nigga, Nikki took bullets for that BBO. Nicki Minaj is the originator of making BBLS popular, 100%. And she took all the shots because her shit was, like, one of the first major ones out. So it looked crazy.
Grits
Her shit was whack.
Eagle Witt
She was. Exactly. But she was the og. And then everybody like, nah, they got bbls because of Kim. No, Kim got bbos because of Nikki.
Grits
That's real.
Eagle Witt
Nikki showed the light.
Grits
And Nikki. Nikki got it from somebody Brazilian. Evidently.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, evidently.
Big Cat
She seen as I want that.
Grits
It's in the name.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
I'm not gonna lie. It's a nasty bbo, especially for somebody that don't know how to shake their ass.
Eagle Witt
Talking about Nikki.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Oh, yeah. Nikki had a crazy, crazy. Remember the one when she was sitting down and. Yeah, see her?
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a little pop.
Grits
Yeah. Listen, man, this is when I'm. I'm Keep it real. Like, there was a point in time where, like, Hollywood really did feel scary.
Eagle Witt
Like a point in time, it still feels good. This still feels scary.
Grits
I mean, I'm never, like, I'm not a. I'm not a. I'm not a. Aspire to be a Hollywood. But I'm just saying, like, it's a time when. Like that, like when that. When that, like a Nicki Minaj bbl. Like to be a star, you got to be sitting. It's something in your body that don't belong there. And like, the way.
Eagle Witt
And it's crazy because. Wow. Pretty. She could have just been skinny and pretty, and he had been like, yo,
Grits
the same thing with Lil Kim. Same thing with, like, Summer Walker. Summer Walker Walker.
Big Cat
Bibio's nuts, yo.
Eagle Witt
Shouts to Summer, though. Summer be liking my stand up. I appreciate you DM me anyway, Summer.
Grits
Something about Summer Walker that just seems, like, intentional.
Eagle Witt
I think Summer got a little bit of that, you know, she's just a little crazy, that's all.
Big Cat
Yeah. You know, she's walking through Chicago with the slippers on in the road.
Grits
I saw that.
Eagle Witt
Smoking cigarettes in the hood.
Big Cat
In the hood. It looked like she was in the hood.
Grits
I'm gonna keep it real. I like. It's just something about me that respects that now.
Big Cat
I respect it.
Grits
But her. But her.
Eagle Witt
I respect it, but it's dangerous.
Grits
It is dangerous. But the BBL looks crazy.
Eagle Witt
She also changed her face, right?
Grits
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Eagle Witt
Like, and her original face was fire, dog.
Grits
Listen, bro, she's a pretty girl.
Eagle Witt
Very pretty, very beautiful.
Grits
I don't know, man. You know, that's why. That's the thing about Hollywood. It's like, it's that influential. It has these. All these beautiful people, like, augmenting their bodies.
Eagle Witt
Let me tell you something, man. Nothing make me more uncomfortable than showbiz. That shit turned my stomach and I'm in it and that and I. It turns my stomach. It make me nauseous, bro. For real, for real, for real. I hate this industry. Like, I talk about retiring every day, every day. At least once a day. I I have a conversation with somebody where I'm like, yeah, I'm be out this. I don't got the bread yet. Once I got the bread and I done dropped a couple classic pieces of art where I feel like I pushed the art form. Never hear from me again.
Big Cat
It's done.
Eagle Witt
Done.
Grits
So 250, man. We almost there.
Eagle Witt
Yo, I look at. I look at, like, Frank Ocean, Lauryn Hill. That's my dream career.
Grits
Yeah. Hit a lick and I'm out.
Big Cat

Grits
Yeah, I think the dream, like. Like, I want my babies to be cool, though.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
But I got teams.
Eagle Witt
You gotta make enough money to so generational wealthy type.
Grits
But you know what I'm saying, When I get to a certain age and my babies is good, like, I. My youngest is eight, so 10 years, that'll be graduation from high school. But, yeah, man, like, go. Go kick it somewhere, bruh.
Big Cat
Just go live, bro.
Grits
Yeah, get rid of the phone. Like, you gotta hit me on a landline, bro.
Eagle Witt
Yo, you ain't see my phone, bro. I'm a hippie, for real. That's my phone.
Grits
No, I know you green bubble, but, yeah, you know what? I'm gonna keep it real. I respect the green bubble now, bro. I might go green bubble on you. I might get a huawei.
Eagle Witt
I'm telling you, it's the way to live, bro. Yeah, I be touching grass. For real, for real. I'm. I'm about. I'm about probably 5% away from being a hotel. I'm so close.
Big Cat
You be a hotel.
Eagle Witt
Every so often I talk to my hotel friend and I realize, oh, I'm not really a hotel. Cool.
Big Cat
Extreme.
Grits
So, you know what's funny is, like, hotel, hotel. Like, technically, I'm a hotel.
Eagle Witt
Somebody said this. I told somebody I was doing your pod. Somebody was like, that got a hotel. I was like, you think?
Grits
Not technically, because. Because of what it was originally before it. Okay.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
Because now, like, hotels and like, black Hebrew Israelites is kind of like. You see them as the same, but technically, like. Like, Dr. Umar is a hotel.
Big Cat
He is a hotel.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, he a hotel.
Big Cat
He's a hotel.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, he's a hotel.
Grits
But I'm not. I'm not.
Eagle Witt
And I fuck with Dr. Umar.
Grits
I'm hotel adjacent because I'm not as misogynistic as these niggas.
Eagle Witt
That's where I think it's a big tenet. I think there. And I think some of the conspiracy theories is where I draw the line, where I go. I guess I'm not a hotel.
Grits
Yeah. I don't think, like. I don't think, like, I don't think they making the frogs gay and shit like that. Like, I don't think all that, bro.
Eagle Witt
I'm gonna tell this story.
Grits
That's what niggas. I'm telling you, brother. There's a study. They did some. Some shit. It has something to do with soy or something that was making the frogs, like, genders change.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
And then they convinced that they started doing that to humans.
Eagle Witt
And I'm not with all that. I'm not with that nigga. First of all, that's stupid.
Grits
You know, they.
Big Cat
When.
Grits
When crack don't work, you just. You just gotta let the elements happen. Yeah. Like, you just gotta let natural selection take over.
Big Cat
Yeah. I mean, I need to be gay
Grits
from the beginning of time.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
100.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
This is the thing.
Eagle Witt
It's just. They comfortable coming out now.
Grits
That's it in nature.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
100 and everything. So it's like if a. If. But the thing is, it's like 100 years ago, if a nigga had too much fashion sense, they just kill him.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Not being fly to death.
Grits
Yeah. This got bedazzled cowboy boots. Kill that. Kill him right now.
Big Cat
You can bedazzle anything right now.
Grits
My.
Eagle Witt
I mean, everything. That's the big argument right now that women are having with the bedazzled jeans. They don't want to with. With bedazzled jeans.
Grits
I mean, let be flamboyant.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. But ain't nobody more homophobic than a woman. They front like,
Grits
women are super homophobic. They assume everything a do is gay is gay.
Eagle Witt
Everybody was gay.
Big Cat
Everything but their best friend be gay.
Eagle Witt
Women, Women ain't homophobic about gay. They homophobic about. They like, if. Yeah, yeah. You better be the straightest straight. You better not show a sign.
Grits
Yeah. But you also, like, I don't. I don't know. There is like. There is an aspect of like, women want a created player. Women want a super nigga. He could fight. He's emotionally intelligent. He has a great relationship with his parents. He'll shoot somebody in the face, go
Eagle Witt
to church after shooting CEO, Right.
Grits
It's like, God damn, man.
Eagle Witt
CEO, but not a capitalist.
Grits
You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eagle Witt
Everything you say, they want the inverse too.
Grits
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's the thing. It's like, you got to Pick one another. You know what I mean? Sometimes, like. Sometimes like the nigga that had to protect you also doesn't have impulse control, so you gonna go to prison because one day gonna protect you a little too much. You know what I'm saying?
Big Cat
Yeah, ain't no coming back from that.
Grits
I protect your neck, too.
Eagle Witt
Listen. I tell a woman straight to her face, I'll be like, yo, you fast. Cause I'm fast.
Big Cat
Beat them feet.
Grits
I'm a real. I'm a real, like, I'm a sensitive situation type. Cause, like, from Atlanta, bruh, are never by themselves.
Eagle Witt
Let me tell you something.
Big Cat
Never by themselves.
Grits
Nothing worse than running up on a. And then five pull a tape.
Eagle Witt
I grew up with them ones. For real. Like, my friends I grew up with, they really, really. That people get nervous around. And I. I've seen so many things. I go, nothing is what you think it is. I ain't taking too many risks out here. It got to be real. Real apparent that it's. That's a fair one. I'm not taking too many risks, but
Grits
it's not enough fair ones out there, bro. I haven't. I haven't. I haven't seen a fair one in a long time, but I know I haven't had. I had. I had a fair. My last firm was in 2011.
Eagle Witt
Damn. It's 15 years.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah. Your fade game is rusty.
Grits
Oh, man, that's why the pistol game. Crazy.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah. Nasty right now.
Grits
That's how. Well, that's what happened.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
You know what I'm saying? Because you start getting work like, you start working jobs. Start working on who you fighting at a job.
Big Cat
Nope.
Grits
You got kids on responsibility.
Eagle Witt
Well, who you fighting as a grown up? Whenever I see grownups fighting, I go, what are you doing, man?
Grits
And it's never a good fight.
Eagle Witt
You a grown up.
Grits
I did. See, because they old man, you've been drinking Hennessy and smoking cigarettes for 10 years.
Eagle Witt
You getting arrested. Meanwhile, you ain't even knocked this nigga out.
Grits
Dope, man. Come on, bro.
Big Cat
They both still talking.
Grits
That's a lie. I was 22. I was either 21 or 22.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's prime age.
Grits
Favorite talking. Said talk crazy to my old lady like it was. This is her. Her best friend's baby. Dad was cussing her the. Out on the speakerphone. My girl like, hey, you know, she tell her like, hey, if y' all gonna argue, can you step outside? Cause my baby sleep. He's like, you tell that bitch to shut up, too. She's like, who you calling a bitch? He's like, who gonna do something? She said, oh, I got somebody to do something, nigga.
Eagle Witt
When I say I be avoiding fights, bro, the Knicks shit, the Knicks one. I'm in this big ass push of people. I'm like, trying to get across the street. I bump this girl and her nigga gonna look up at me. She went to say something. I ignored this bitch. I'm like, what are you. I'm ignoring you.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Eagle Witt
Her nigga looked up at me. I said, yo, bro, my fault, bro. Just like that.
Grits
Yeah, Honestly, my fault.
Eagle Witt
I solve everything.
Grits
I saw, like, girl, like, ladies, women, like. This is another thing. The. What'd you say? Using your oppression, privilege.
Eagle Witt
Oh, yeah.
Grits
This thing is a real thing. Stop putting niggas in dangerous situations.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
Like, stop trying to put your man in a situation where, oh, he gotta defend your honor. Cause you feel like, I'm gonna talk tough to a man, and then your fucking man get his shit blown off. And now you owe my baby. And this nigga in the clouds on Facebook. All cause you just. Cause a nigga bumped into you and you just couldn't let it go.
Eagle Witt
Or a nigga bumps into you and then that comedian gets beat up. Me, I got washed. I think that nigga would have beat me up. I ain't gonna lie. His eyes. I was like, ah. I was like, this ain't the one I want.
Grits
I mean, he fighting for his pride.
Big Cat
I mean, yeah, he fight. He fighting for his girl.
Eagle Witt
Like, I bumped your girl by accident. Care right now?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
Hey, look, it's bigger than you.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, that's why I hit this with the. Yo, my fault, bro. It's. It's busy out here. My fault. What you want me to do?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
I didn't even know, like, people. I just assumed that in New York, like, people just.
Big Cat
They get bumped and keep pushing.
Grits
Bumped and keep.
Eagle Witt
No, it was so crowded, though, with that Knicks thing. It was like. It was a lot. I think everybody was hot. Everybody was, like, trying to move, and the cops was stopping us. It was. It was a lot. People was in bad moods.
Big Cat
She was just aggravated, that's all.
Grits
She was just.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, Eve was aggravated. She was aggravated. Everybody was aggravated. Yeah.
Grits
You know, it just. All it take is a little goddamn. Little goddamn misunderstanding to have a nigga moment, man.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. Mm.
Grits
Yeah. We learned about this on the boondocks.
Big Cat
Yeah, man.
Grits
Hey, man, what has been so. You know, I think being a New York comic, that's a thing, right? You know?
Eagle Witt
Yeah, that's a thing.
Grits
I Used to watch, like, one of my favorite comedians was Patrice o'. Neal. So those tough crowd guys goaded, rest in peace, all that. Like, I used to remember that they would talk about the stories that they would have at the Cellar and all this and that. And then it's like, that's when I realized, like, okay, if you want to do comedy, you go LA or New York. And that's two totally different.
Eagle Witt
You go to LA to be famous. You go to New York to be good or great.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see that.
Grits
I say that. That's real. Because, man, what's my man's name, bro? Keep going. I don't know. I'm gonna think about it in a second.
Eagle Witt
I'm interested to see how these comedy questions get going. Cause I had guesses in my head as to certain things you were gonna ask me. I was preparing mentally. I was like, I'm ready if this N G a ask me.
Grits
Nah, I'm not gonna ask. I don't be asking niggas, like, too crazy and shit. I will say
Eagle Witt
it's comedy a topic right now.
Grits
Well, because of the funny AF thing. And then the roast.
Eagle Witt
Listen, and then you got a lot. I got shit to say about the roast, too. And I've been holding it. Y. I knew I was gonna do this pod, so I was like, if this nigga ask, I'll answer on the podcast on nobody about the roast shit.
Grits
Yeah.
Big Cat
How you feel about it?
Eagle Witt
It's complicated. I. I feel like this. I feel like. And I know they gonna jump. Especially with this audience, I know they gonna jump. What you mean is complicated? Just hear me out. I think as a culture, we gotta stop responding to everything. And let me explain. So, like, Tony Hinchcliff, that nigga's audience is a whole bunch of racist white people. We were never his audience ever. Right? So when we respond and go, hey, man, I don't like what you said, he now sells more tickets because his audience goes, oh, you pissing off black people even more. I fuck with that. Tony becomes more successful because we respond. Because once again, his audience is racist white people. He is winning by pissing us off. Don't get me wrong. That's a crazy thing he said. But if he says it and we radio silent, he doesn't grow from it. The moment we make a big thing about it, it's trending. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The people that would have liked Tony discover him more. So if there's any racist white people out there who didn't fuck with Tony, Yeah. Now they go, oh, who's this guy? And then they gonna like the rest of his catalog. Cause that's the type of shit he does.
Grits
He's pissing off niggers.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. So now Tony goes from selling, you know, I mean, he's already a big comic, but let's say he's selling a few thousand tickets a weekend or whatever or a show. Now he's selling a couple more thousand a show. We literally putting money in this racist nigga's pockets by reacting. Yeah, so that's first. First and foremost is like, I don't react to Tony. Fuck that. And then the second thing is I. I partially agree with Kevin. At the end of the day, Kevin didn't say it. You know what I mean? I feel like we tend to point fingers at each other more than we point fingers at white people. Kevin didn't say it. At the same token, I do feel like Kevin. And I'll say it because whatever, dog, I do feel like Kevin. It's hard for me to say. Cause I'm at a lower level than him. I don't know what he going through. But at the same time, like, you gotta remember who gave you the beginning of your career, which is black people. Kevin came up through us first and then switched over mainstream, which is oftentimes what happens. There's nothing wrong with that. But it's like there must have been a moment where you could have made the decision to not have Tony on the ropes, knowing the type of stand up and type of comedy that Tony does. So I just feel like to me, I question more like, did he have any power when it came to who was gonna be on the dance? Like, who who was gonna be. Who's gonna be roasting? Cause if he had any power in that decision, I go, damn, nigga, you had Tony. Why would you have Tony? You know how Tony talk. You know your audience is black. Why would you have Tony let Tony go over there and do what he do with them? He shouldn't be for us. We shouldn't see him. You know what I'm saying? I'm not gonna censor him. I'm gonna say, hey, nigga, don't do this on our platform. Go do that over there at your clan meeting. Whatever the fuck y' all do, go do that over there.
Grits
Yeah, I think also, you know, if everybody, if everybody has the same reaction to Tony's jokes as Regina hall does, then we're good.
Eagle Witt
Oh, that was the other big thing. I'm so happy you said that. The other Thing is, I don't think Kev fucked up by. By. By sitting there or even by letting Tony on the thing as much as he fucked up by reacting. I think when he giggled, when he laughed at the George Floyd or whatever, when he reacted to it, I was like, ooh. Cause I remember being in the crib and being like, ooh, no, Kev, don't react. I literally yelled out, don't react. Cause I fuck with Kevin. I love Kevin Hart, like, as a comic. I've met him in person a couple times. Great human being, like, all that. Nothing bad to say about the nigga. So when I seen him react, I went, ooh, they not gonna like that. Kev said, why would you react to that? You should have straight faced that. At minimum.
Big Cat
You should have straight faced that, at minimum.
Grits
Yeah, you know, the camera gonna be
Eagle Witt
on it or at least hit one of them classic Kev things and be like, ah, too far. Too much, you know, stand up, make a joke of it. To laugh at it is like, ooh, yeah.
Big Cat
Why you do that?
Grits
To laugh at it.
Eagle Witt
It's not a great joke either, to laugh at it.
Grits
As somebody who was kind of boots on the ground trying to raise funds for George Floyd, too, it's tough. It's a sick look.
Eagle Witt
It's a sick look. And it's gotta be complicated for him. Cause, you know, he defended it and thinking to himself, like, but I was boots on the ground. Which is a nuanced argument.
Grits
There has to be a thing where, like. Like, some things are just bigger than comedy. And sometimes you can't just be a fucking comedian. You know what I'm saying? Like, I get it. A lot of comedians hide behind that. Well, it's comedy and I'm a comedian. First it's like, nah, listen.
Eagle Witt
And I'm gonna say this, man. And let me tell you something, boy, do I take a beating doing the type of standup I do. For real. For real, like, industry wise. It's tough. It's tough. I have lost so many opportunities doing the type of standup I do.
Grits
I don't.
Eagle Witt
I'm. I don't believe in calling Kevin a coon. I know everybody been calling him a coon lately. I don't think Kevin is a coon. I think it's hyperbolic. I feel like we jump on that word kind of easy, but we'll call anybody a coon.
Grits
Yeah, I've been called a coon.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, we call. Exactly. Which is crazy.
Grits
Yeah. As soon as you say something niggas don't like You.
Big Cat
You're coon.
Eagle Witt
Absolutely.
Grits
Or, or, you know, as soon as I'll say this for the. For the overly, like, hotel niggas, that's like, their name is Osiris the Son. And, like, they got buku emojis in their. Yeah. Like, being reasonable about life and how humans interact can make you a coon.
Eagle Witt
100%.
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Here's the thing. So it's like, I'm not going to just jump on calling him a coon, but I will say there's some coon ass comics out here. Not Kevin, but there are others. And, and, and a lot of. Sometimes I get worried that, that we see, like, skin folk, Kinfolk, and we go, oh, that's our. That's our person. And showbiz, like, we see a celebrity that is doing an art form and we go, since they look like us, that's our person technically. But they selling y' all out. They selling us out. For real. For real. And there's artists that aren't selling us out that will never get that spotlight or they'll take a lot longer because they're not selling us out.
Big Cat
I got you.
Eagle Witt
You know what I mean?
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Don't trust the first person they put in front of you.
Grits
Well, normally that's the worst person to piggyback off that, you know? Jay Z announced that he's gonna be selling his Reasonable Doubt vinyl exclusively with Target. And on the back of a Target boycott before dei. It's like, because of the DEI shit, and everybody boycotted Target, and that's been like a steadfast boycott. And then it's like, yeah, now like, I'mma release my shit exclusively through that. Like, people shooting him a lot of bail for that. Because then when it's Jay, it's like, well, there's a lot of artists that release they shit through there. But yeah, there's not a lot of artists at his magnitude that announce that specific partnership.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
And for me, it's like, that's not a good look, bro. Cause it's like, my nigga, you know, we in an active boycott against him.
Eagle Witt
I'm always cautious with hov. I always give HOV time because I remember the super bowl thing. I remember when he partnered with the NFL and everybody was like, this nigga sellout, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Ain't been a white NFL super bowl
Grits
halftime show since, and it's just been the biggest.
Eagle Witt
So I give HOV grace of time. That's all.
Grits
I'm not saying I seen one take.
Eagle Witt
I never know what he gonna Do.
Grits
So I saw one take. I, you know, I make my jokes about it because it's like the knee jerk reaction was like, fuck. But I seen one dude was like, you know, he's like, you know, when it come to hoe, niggas start talking about this like he Dr. Evil. For real. Hov's a genius.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. You never know.
Grits
After that deal, I could see him being ahead of DEI for Target. Like, man, like, you know, but neighbor, like, then again, maybe, I don't know. I say, never know.
Eagle Witt
Do some shit. I give him a good year or two. I go, well, what he gonna do
Grits
with who might be appointed to the board of directors?
Eagle Witt
I think he's the best at sitting at they table and taking over they table.
Grits
I mean, hey, man, he's proven it a few times. He got the money to back that up. And, you know, his. The work is the work. Like, the last five years for the NFL has been lit as far as halftime show go. Yeah, the shit has been lit. It's been culturally sound, too. Cause even doing Bad Bunny, this last one was like. That was very culturally sound. Like he was having a moment and shit. Nigga. It exemplified that and the same thing with Kendrick the year before. So, I mean, it makes sense.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
Making sense. The only one I ain't like was. And I don't even know if HOV had anything to do with that. When they did the whole, like, when
Eagle Witt
56 was the west coast joint.
Big Cat
Was that the first one?
Grits
It was cool.
Eagle Witt
I thought that was the first one.
Big Cat
I think that was the first one. That was the first one.
Grits
It was cool, but it was, like,
Eagle Witt
supposed to be for Dre, I think.
Grits
Yeah, it was just like. I get that it's 13 minutes, so it's like, it's only so much of songs you can play.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
So it was good for what it was. But I was happy to see that that's not the level it came in where, like, it got a little bit more specific. Like Usher. You know what I'm saying? I think. Who was it?
Big Cat
It was Rihanna.
Grits
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
Rihanna did one.
Grits
They killed that when they started.
Eagle Witt
She had the little Yeezy joint on. She was low key in solidarity with Kanye. Yeah, peep that right. Yeah, it's real smooth how she did that. She didn't say nothing. She did all of the lights. She didn't have to do all the lights.
Grits
I was like, I mean, listen, bro, we was talking about that the other day. I told, like, as soon as they announced my deaf play that song.
Eagle Witt
Oh, all the lights, all the lights.
Grits
As soon as they say, Ah, 317. Let's call it 317. Play that.
Eagle Witt
I go up for Kanye, bro. I don't hold did whole sets. I don't argue with people over what I, I, I defend Kanye. I'm a Kanye apologist genius, bro. I mean, Kanye could say, yo, Eagles mom that ugly. I'd be like, yo, she is kind of rough. I don't know. I go up for Kanye, bro. Real, for real. Let us be mentally ill too. Out of here. Britney mentally ill as he defending this all the time.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Eagle Witt
And he way more of a genius than her.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grits
If you can make all the lights,
Big Cat
all the lights, all the lights he made through the wires.
Grits
He a got that. I tell you this, this nigga is the musical genius. You can go hit one key on a piano and that's Kanye.
Eagle Witt
Ain't that crazy?
Grits
That's crazy.
Eagle Witt
Everybody know who probably go crazy.
Grits
Know what it is, bro? Yeah, he, I mean he having it.
Big Cat
Yeah, he haven't.
Grits
I just, you know, I let crazy. And not to be dismissive, but when niggas is getting out they body, I just like, nah, that nigga losing it.
Eagle Witt
That's it. But you gotta be able to do that.
Grits
But you talking crazy like showing up with the full clan Wizard.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, sure, it's nuts.
Grits
But he's, but he's out of his,
Eagle Witt
but he out of his mind. We gotta have empathy for each other.
Grits
Nah, but I, but I think it's sick. This is the thing. We see what niggas have done with schizophrenia and no money.
Big Cat
Yeah, Schizophrenia millionaire.
Grits
Oh my God. Billion, billion billionaire. Yeah, yeah, you might come clan.
Big Cat
Yeah, you might be Clan Clinton Bixby on him.
Grits
Ku Klux Kanye. Yeah, Ku M K, look, this academics ass sitting there like, oh my God,
Eagle Witt
he know what to do.
Big Cat
Yeah, he know what to do.
Grits
I'm glad he did it to him though. And not like Sway.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eagle Witt
Oh yeah. It's better doing it to act. Yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
If he would have did this way, it would have been crazy.
Grits
He's a. Yeah, yeah.
Eagle Witt
I want to clarify though. Tony Hinchcliffe.
Grits
Yeah, Straight up.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, I want to just make sure that's clear. Oh yeah.
Grits
This your camera right here.
Eagle Witt
Everything get clipped up, you know, weird and people, people take out of context on the Internet. Tony Hinchcliffe, straight up.
Grits
Hey, where my camera at?
Big Cat
You ready? This one.
Grits
Tony Henscliffe. I ddt that little bitty ass too. I seen that in the Comedy Store in la. I was like this little.
Big Cat
This him.
Eagle Witt
You know what's weird about him, too?
Grits
Oh, this should have ran up on him, son.
Eagle Witt
Yo, Tony Hinchcliffe. So my big spirit, my favorite white comic ever is Daniel Tosh. If you ain't familiar, I know everybody familiar with Tosh0. You're not familiar with Daniel Tosh's standup? Go check that shit out.
Grits
Daniel Tosh is hilarious, bro.
Eagle Witt
Unreal. Good.
Grits
Yeah, he's funny.
Eagle Witt
That so underrated. Tony Hins clip is a teemu. Daniel Taj.
Grits
You know, I, I think the first, the first person that I saw try to like, kind of run with Daniel Tasha Swag was the Anthony Chesel Nick. Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. A lot of the white boys try to be Daniel.
Grits
Yeah. But not Daniel. And Tosh point zero was funny.
Eagle Witt
It was, it was great. And it was, it was the original of that format.
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
In that sense. Yeah.
Grits
Early Internet sensation. Yeah, that was a vibe. That's a good show. Yeah. Without Tosh Point zero, we don't get ridiculousness.
Eagle Witt
Absolutely.
Grits
Yeah, we don't. And you know, they tried to give Patrice a show like that for a little bit, but, yeah, flop type.
Eagle Witt
I also like Tasha's career. You know, when I talk about, like, dipping Tash. What? Tosh stole a bag from Comedy Central. Dropped two specials. You never heard from this again? No.
Grits
Kizzy, too. That nigga got great politics.
Eagle Witt
Who? Tosh? Oh, I didn't know that. No, that's dope.
Grits
I pay attention to shit like that.
Eagle Witt
That's dope.
Grits
But I think, you know, what about this whole, like, how you feel about, like this whole UFC at the White House shit?
Eagle Witt
I mean, I'm so out of the loop. I do, I know that he said Michelle Obama's a man or whatever.
Grits
I ain't even talking about that. Just the generally trailer park esque activities happening on the White House.
Eagle Witt
Donald Trump is the president, bro. Bro.
Grits
Darn.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I think I have a problem, bro. Like, I, I'm very, I guess unmoved by things.
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Like I, I, I, I'm no longer. It's hard to shock me. It's hard for something to happen. And I think people confuse that sometimes for me not giving a fuck. But I care. I just, I was, I was, I was here two days ago, like when, like when Carmelo is going to jail, right? Going to prison. My sister called me bugging about it. I care, but I already, when the shit initially happened, mourned it. I didn't expect him to get out. This is America. So when he Stabbed the nigga. I was like, oh, he going to jail for life. I never once thought otherwise. This is America.
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
You know what I mean? I've been mourned it.
Grits
Yeah. Honestly, like, I'm not idealistic about things at all.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
So like, like, shit, when I talk to things, when I talk about things at length on the show, of course, like, there's gonna be some passion and emotion about it. But like when it's like when they. Somebody showed me, like, oh, yeah, he just got convicted. I was like, I mean, yeah, it's like, it's like this is like the. It's like the 70th season of the show, I'm saying. You know what I'm saying?
Eagle Witt
Like, it's Sad.
Grits
It's the 70th season of a 20 episode season show.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
I've seen it so many times. You know, like when they talk about Cyrus Cormac, we got Latasha Harland. Like, these are things we've seen happen over and over again. You know what I mean? And I think the self defense, like shout out to Rodney Hinton, but like, that nigga killed his son. That nigga went and killed one of them. Like. And I think like the honest truth of it is it's like that's the only kind of balance that you could find in this shit. And. And you know, for the most part, black people don't want to continue to get the worst end of that stick where it's like, I got to kill a nigga for justice, whereas all they got to do is die. See what I'm saying?
Eagle Witt
Yeah, that's a huge difference. I got a theory. I've been trying to talk about this shit on stage. I think because liberal white people gentrify our hoods, we're becoming liberal white people and that hurts us. Does that make sense? Cause like politically, sure, we kind of align with these niggas most of the time. Right. Most black people vote like liberal white people. But that's it. That's what I think.
Grits
I beg the thing.
Eagle Witt
We're very different outside of that.
Grits
Yeah. Because. Well, the thing is, is like liberal white people are the. The idea of a white person being liberal is just performative of nature.
Eagle Witt
Well, it's performative, but they also super optimistic because they fighting for oppression. They're not going through. And that becomes us as a culture because we have proximity to them.
Grits
Them.
Eagle Witt
So we keep on merging with these just, just based on, even when we're not trying to, the fact that we got to be in the same Neighborhoods with them, it happens, Right. And then we become overly optimistic. So then when a tragedy happens in our community or we don't have justice in our community, we feel more robbed than we would have felt before because we're becoming these white people who believe that justice is coming.
Grits
I just don't. I know.
Big Cat
I can see what you're saying.
Eagle Witt
Is that a crazy thing?
Grits
No, it's not a wild. It's not a wild take. Especially. The thing is, is that especially. Especially for the people who pursue higher education and they're spending and they're kind of, you know, forming their politics with liberal white people. And so, you know, when you like, the thing is, anytime you are removed from an environment, you can look upon it, like, with an idealism. So if you leave the hood and you go to college, and then you go to college to do well, you start pursuing your masters and you not in the hood no more, then you start seeing justice as a little bit more idealistic. Whereas, like, when you in it every day, you know that it's kind of hopeless.
Eagle Witt
That's right.
Grits
And, like, you not supposed to lose hope. I feel that. But, like, there is a certain level of cynicism that this world gonna have, like, you just gonna have to walk around with in order to deal with this. Because I'm like.
Eagle Witt
And it's healthy. It keep you sane.
Grits
Yeah, because it's like. Because like, that level of expectation and let down will stretch.
Eagle Witt
That should have break. That should have kill you 100%.
Grits
That's how niggas, you know. You know, to be quite honest, like, it's a lot of niggas that be. That be cooning out of heartbreak. Like, man, let me just join these
Eagle Witt
niggas is so true, bro.
Grits
Like, let me just join them, bro.
Eagle Witt
Fuck it take a lot of these niggas. It take a lot of strength in this industry to not tap dance. A lot of strength. Cause they will shut every door in a talented nigga's face and go, you tap dancing yet? Oh, okay. Well, then you broke. And like, I've seen it. I've seen people be like, yo, I don't got it no more. Fuck it, I'll do whatever.
Big Cat
Speaking on that, what's the toughest thing you had to deal with in the industry?
Eagle Witt
Last year was tough for me. Last year was really tough for me. I had an hour I put together. I didn't even think it was a special. For real? For real. But I showed it to my manager. My manager was like, nigga, this is a classic. And he was like, we gotta show this around to people. And I. Man, I had a. I'm not. I don't know if I should say his name, but I had a big comic executive producing it. Like, I'm connect, you know, Niggas know me, know me, they respect me. So he was like, yeah, executive producer. Blah, blah, fire. I'm thinking this shit getting made. We bring this shit around, man. One major streamer said the shit was too black, essentially, and then gave a special to whatever, so they said it was too black. And then another streamer basically just denied it based on the numbers level. Because I don't got the numbers yet. You know what I mean? But it was real. It was tough. That was tough. I ain't gonna lie. Like, my dream is to drop classic specials like that.
Grits
Have you thought about. I mean, I know this might be unconventional, and I think that, you know, like something like a Josh Johnson just getting an HBO special and stuff like that. And, you know, I was. I mean, whatever. I don't want to talk about your contemporaries, but
Eagle Witt
go ahead.
Grits
No, I mean, this is like. I know that that's the dream.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
Is to get a HBO special.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. That is my dream, too. I love hbo.
Grits
That's the only thing I was gonna say. I'm not gonna. I don't know how I feel about the special.
Eagle Witt
Listen,
Grits
I will fuck it. I'm not.
Eagle Witt
What you about to say? I don't even know.
Grits
I just, like, realized, like, I. I really do like Josh Johnson and his. Like, to see, like, his consistency and, like, how he's had his rise through consistency. But with the special, I was just like, oh, this nigga just know how to make white people laugh. That's how I felt. I have another thing, too. Have you thought about. Okay, so, like, Ali Sadiq, Domino effect. I love Ali Sadiq. I think Domino effect just hit 20 million. Really?
Eagle Witt
I'm trying to get in touch with Ali Sadiq, man. I would give him some to put on his channel.
Grits
Do you know him?
Eagle Witt
He's the only comic I don't know. I do not know Ali Sadiq personally. Do not know him personally, but I would love to. And I think he'd. With my. But I. I don't got no connect to him. So, you know, but I would love to. Even. Even if I gave him that raw tape that I. That I gave around to HBO and Netflix and all these different places, I would. I'd be like, here, bro.
Grits
Hey, what you got? Like a. What you got? Like a Dropbox? Like a file for it or some.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, I got a link.
Grits
I. I mean, that's my dog.
Eagle Witt
Really?
Grits
That's my og, nigga.
Eagle Witt
Really? Yeah, bro, that'd be love, man. Real. For real.
Grits
Listen, bro, I'm gonna tell you the truth. It's the same thing with how I feel about Reg. If I think you funny, nigga, I fuck with you. Like, I don't gotta. You don't have to have, like, it doesn't have to be social media thing. I seen. I seen one of Red shit. Just looking through, don't tell.
Eagle Witt
Oh, yeah.
Grits
And I was like, this nigga funny as hell.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Red's different spots.
Grits
He reached out to me when he noticed we was going on tour. I was like, yo, can I open up when you come to New York?
Eagle Witt
Let's fire it.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
And I was like. I was like, oh, you the nigga with the orgy joke on some funny.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Grits
And I was like, yeah, bro. I was like, pull up.
Eagle Witt
Reg got one of my favorite jokes ever. That joke about his cousin having cancer. I don't ever see how hard that
Grits
nigga that N said, listen, ever since you got this new haircut, we've been lit.
Eagle Witt
Get how hard that joke is to pull off, dog. A rape joke, nigga. That shit is mad hard to pull off. Nah, he's the joke about cancer.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
And killed.
Grits
Yeah, Reg is. Reg is. So this is my point, though. I didn't look on his page and like, oh, you got 10k followers? Never, bro. I think you're funny. And so. So when he asked me if I knew who you was, I was like, yes, nigga, yes. That nigga's hilarious. I watch him give white people help every day.
Eagle Witt
Let me tell you something.
Grits
I love it.
Eagle Witt
I be career wise, bro. I be fighting for my life out here, trying to stay true. For real. For real.
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
I'm talking about. I have heard so many different versions of this is too black. This is too black. This is too black.
Grits
I think the other thing too, and
Eagle Witt
they'll say it in a PC way, but that's what they saying.
Grits
I mean, that's what they is. You need universal appeal. You know how that shit. I think the thing is that's been a very apparent for me is that I know the difference between your clips and your set. So I know that, like, when I see you on social media clips, I would love to see your set.
Eagle Witt
Oh, yeah.
Grits
You know what I'm saying?
Eagle Witt
An hour for me is fun, bro. I think you'd enjoy it.
Grits
Yeah. Because I watched Reg when Shortly after he. Shortly after I met him, he came to Atlanta and we hung out and I watched him do an hour and I was like, this is like, this is crazy. It's crazy how tight, how tight y' all can get in in 15 minutes versus when you're out and you can relax a little bit.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, get in the pocket.
Grits
It's really nice.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
I love comedy, though. And like, when I was younger, I wanted to be a comedian. When I got older, even with social media, people like, oh, you should get them. Like, I just like, this is a craft, bro. I respect the shit too much.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. I remember when we first got on the phone, I wasn't sure whether or not you were a comic, like, doing comedy. I know you have the pod, but I wasn't sure. Cause I was like, torn. I don't know if he doing stand up too.
Grits
Nah, I'm not. But Red say that I basically be doing. He was like. He was like, nigga, you got some stand up shit on there.
Eagle Witt
You be fucking shit up.
Grits
Yeah, it's really standing up.
Big Cat
Stand up on there too.
Grits
Yeah, it's a little bit of it because it's like naturally funny. You know what I'm saying? But I think what I do is like, I like to bring an air to that shit where it's like, yeah, we finna talk about some serious shit. But, like, this ain't church. It's our church.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
So we gonna fuck off in here a little bit. Cause I like having fun, man.
Eagle Witt
I got men. Listen, man, you know what was the most heartbreaking shit to me about the whole special fiasco that I went through last year? The closing bit in that hour. I think I said a lot of dope shit in that hour, but that closing bit is so fucking necessary to be heard. And it hurt that I couldn't get it out. And it's too long to clip up. It's too long to just post on social media. It's like an eight minute bit about Emmett Till. And this shit is so fucking. I'm talking about crafty, right? I was like, oh, y' all killing me. I needed a platform for this bitch.
Grits
So did you ever, like, did two beat any. Did you shop it around any of those streaming like that? Hulu and any of them. I know Hulu.
Eagle Witt
We missed the deadline. Hulu. They, you know, they have their picks for like a year ahead. So it's time, you know what I mean? We shopped it around to a bunch of places, though. We shop it around to a bunch of places.
Big Cat
What about just being independent, though? Just putting it out yourself?
Eagle Witt
I mean, honestly, my YouTube platform's not big enough. I would need like Ali Sadiq, which I don't mind, you know, Like, I'm tight with Ryan Davis. That's my man's, you know what I'm saying? And it did wonders for him, you
Grits
know, I mean, so yeah, I mean, and you know Ali solid like that, you know what I mean? I think because you do have a social media following, like, but I think, yeah, man, that YouTube stuff is hard because YouTube is a place where, like, if you ain't like, Ali puts out a special like every 90 days, bro.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Grits
If not every 60. Yeah, he finna put out a Father's Day special. So you gotta think like. And like a lot of his shit is nigga doing M's. I like, if I ain't doing numbers, I ain't mistaken they're doing numbers.
Eagle Witt
If I'm not mistaken, he gonna be the first YouTube comic to do arenas. I think he's doing the brother that.
Grits
That man, that man is. Is doing like 25 million views. Organic.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, bro.
Grits
And. And you know, they can't with him. He sell and.
Eagle Witt
And I love that he don't. He refuses to with them.
Grits
No, he not. He not going to do that.
Eagle Witt
I love that about him, bro.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
And you got to think another thing is, it's like, even with like, what's his, I think his name, Marcus Wiley, it's another couple with putting this shit on his show. And the thing that I know and I've gathered about him is like, if he like it, he ain't gonna, like, he ain't gonna try to, like, he gonna try to make sure nigga win. Like, this is whole shit because he came put up on us when we did the episode with him. But the first time we got on the phone, when I got introduced to him, it took him a little while to understand like, who he was talking to. And then he was like, grist and eggs podcast. Oh, you the light skinned nigga with the dread. And I was like, yeah, that's popular. Hey, man, my wife love you, man. That shit was like so cool, bro. And you know, but he fucked with the show too. So when he pulled up, it was love, bro. It was. It was like that was the last interview I did in 20. And so like, yeah, but it's like. But also for somebody that's been watching him, you know, for me it's like I've never seen somebody do a standup special as a Continuation in parts.
Eagle Witt
Also what people don't recognize too. He doing like an hour and a half, bro. Them shits, that's. That's a long time to drop a fire banger, man. He killing most people. Most people can't do that. 99% of comics.
Grits
And the worth part was two hours, bro.
Eagle Witt
The whole way through, bro.
Grits
You didn't lose.
Eagle Witt
That's a movie.
Grits
He didn't. He didn't miss a beat.
Eagle Witt
A one man movie.
Grits
Bingo.
Eagle Witt
That different.
Big Cat
The storytelling is immaculate. I think what makes it go by.
Eagle Witt
People got to start respecting that. Don't matter what the platform is. That person is top five that are alive. That person, legend. That person on Mount Rushmore. People got. At some point it's going to switch when people going to go. It don't matter where this shit's at. They amazing, man.
Grits
I'mma tell you, bro, that he. I think Ali is my favorite comedian right now.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, bro.
Grits
Bro, I. I don't. And like that's where it's at. Everything else, I don't judge because I've only seen one funny standup special on Hulu. I think his name was Brian or Byron Bowers.
Eagle Witt
Oh, that was the first one they ever dropped. It was like a FX Hulu collab. Yeah, Byron's dope. Yeah.
Grits
Yeah, that was funny.
Eagle Witt
He's dope. He's super dope.
Grits
Yes.
Eagle Witt
LA comic from Namaste taken.
Grits
Yeah, but he from the east side. He's from Atlanta.
Eagle Witt
Oh, word. He's dope.
Grits
And that funny a man.
Eagle Witt
He got a very unique mind.
Big Cat
Yes.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, I know.
Grits
It's like, listen, bro.
Eagle Witt
That's the thing in Stand up.
Grits
Like listen, bro. That like, if you pay attention to his. If he don't, he just. Yeah, that's the only way to put it. Like his, his. He's just not operating like who your goats.
Eagle Witt
Who. Who's your favorite comic ever? Like you're. You're goat. Like this is the person.
Big Cat
Bernie Mac was definitely top.
Grits
Top what? Let's do top five.
Big Cat

Eagle Witt
Yeah, Love it.
Big Cat
Richard Pryor.
Eagle Witt
Yep.
Big Cat
And Red Fox.
Eagle Witt
It's a great list.
Grits
I think. I think you just take Chappelle Murphy and Pryor and just let them Let them be.
Eagle Witt
Let them be the top three over there.
Grits
So if I choose my favorites, it's like, I like George Carlin, Patrice o'. Neal. I like Bill Burr. And then we go from there, and it's like. Then I just like certain specials. Like Jermaine. One of Jermaine Fowler specials was really like, I was dying laughing the whole time.
Eagle Witt
Oh, that's dope, bro.
Grits
You know what I'm saying?
Eagle Witt
Like, yeah, Jinga people.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
And then, I mean, you know, quiet kept Louis CK out.
Eagle Witt
Hey, listen, Lou's a genius, bro.
Grits
Lisa K. Is hilarious.
Eagle Witt
Stand up. What?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
And then I would like. And then honestly, just Bernie. Cause, like, yeah, man. It's not a moment when you see Bernie Mac doing stand up where you not laughing.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, Bernie's unbelievable. He was unbelievable. Yeah, my. See, I. Everybody left out this person, and I think he's literally the goat. And. And it's so, so funny. It took me a long time to come to. To my truth about it. I used to say. I. This is what I used to say. I used to be like. Like, when Chris Rock dies, he gonna be considered a goat. People gotta let him die first to really appreciate him. And now as I get older, I go, if I feel this way, nah, he the goat.
Grits
To me go. He'll go.
Eagle Witt
It's like, let me be the start of this conversation. If people not already having it, which people do have it, but I want to push it more. Cuz, man, I think back some of
Grits
those bits, man, don't realize those. Listen, bro, it was 99, bro. That's the thing.
Eagle Witt
It's crazy. Some of the bits that Chris Rock came up with. Chris Rock got some, man. His pen is so insane. I don't think people recognize how cr. Like I always say, Chris Rock in the 90s. It's like if you were playing 2K and you put all the sliders up. I think his performance, his delivery, his writing, his every, like, his energy, it was all perfect.
Grits
N had swag, too, though.
Eagle Witt
Swag, bro. Like, so Chris Rock my goat. And then Chappelle and Pryor is with him interchangeable. You know what I mean? But favorites. Just favorites. I'm going like, Chris Chappelle, Daniel Tosh, My favorite white boy ever. I think this nigga's so nasty. D Ray Davis.
Grits
D Ray Davis.

Number five. It's tough. I don't know. Paul Mooney, Richard Pryor as a combo. I don't know.
Grits
I. I like Paul Mooney. You know, Paul Mooney and Dave Chappelle are here for me because there's some people that I could just listen to, talk. You know, Paul Mooney's one of those people where it's like, I just want to hear what you have to say.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
It doesn't even have to be funny because it's like, I know it's gonna be funny.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
But I'm gonna tell you somebody else, too, you know? Like, I've seen him live, and his clips don't do him justice, but he been around a long time. Is like, Greer Barnes.
Eagle Witt
Let me tell you something. Greer Barnes, bro.
Grits
He like, oh, geez. Oh, geez. But that nigga is. Is funny as a dog. And his performance is great. It's crazy.
Eagle Witt
This how dope Gray Barnes is. I heard this. So, like, you know, it's a seller. I've been a seller a long time. And when Chappelle come to town, Chappelle don't really like watching stand up. For real. He always say, like, it's like watching somebody fuck your wife, but not as good as you. So he don't really watch. But when he come to town, he be like, I watch Greer. He be like, is Grer growing up? That's how dope Grer is. Like, Grer is fire, man.
Grits
One mo, bruh. It's this dude from Detroit. Detroit? Why can't they hear from legend, my OG comic? Tony.
Eagle Witt
Not Tony Woods. Tony woods from D.C. no, no.
Grits
Tony woods was funny back in the, like. Yeah, that slow flow. I like that.

Eagle Witt
Yeah, he want.
Grits
He one of them dudes that's like, what? Like, he kind of got that, like, back of the bus funny vibe. But can write.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
Cause a lot of people that are, like, just naturally funny. People. People oftentimes like, they pin game, they
Eagle Witt
paint kind of wacky.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
But then some people. Some people that's too pen game. Then it's like a little too heady, and it's like, yeah, yeah. Like, I don't know. It's only a town hall meeting.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, well, some people. Some people got too much fat on their. In my opinion. I know everybody want to do stand up differently, but some people, it's like, all right, when is the punchline coming? This taking forever.
Grits
Yeah, brother.
Eagle Witt
Like, bro, this is not really stand up no more. It's like, I don't know what this is, but people like it. I don't know. Different strokes for different folks. Different stand up for different people.
Grits
Yeah, it's like people like, the thing about, like, the comedy shit is that I'm gonna find if you funny, I'm gonna find you funny until I don't find you funny no more. Like, it's people that have had, like, you know, before Tom, one bad joke
Eagle Witt
and n done for you.
Grits
Not even that. It's just like. It's just like, once. I see. Okay, I'm gonna give you a perfect example. Like, early career, like, early in his career, Tom Segura. Yeah, I thought he was hilarious. But as things progress, it's like, all right, well.
Eagle Witt
Well, that's all you got.
Grits
Same for me. No more.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
And then, like, I never thought Bert Karcher was funny. I don't care.
Eagle Witt
I mean, no, I don't, I don't, I don't. That's not for us. Sometimes I look, it's like we was talking about off camera some. Some shit. I go, oh, that's not for me.
Grits
It's not for us. Right? And so, like, the thing is, is, like, when you working and you cycling through all these different podcasts, then you, like, trying to figure out, like, okay, oh, they do stand up. Okay, cool. That's what I started realizing. Like, damn near every prominent stand up comedian got a podcast. So I realized that was like, oh,
Eagle Witt
I told you, I just got one. I'm trying to have you on. I just got one.
Grits
Yeah. I was like, it's like a lick, right? And it's not lick per se, because it's work, but like. Cause Shane, like. Like Shane Gillis first stand up special was hilarious to me.
Eagle Witt
Let me tell you something. I get it that you know what I'm saying? People be divided on Shane. Nah, that one of the funniest walking this planet.
Grits
I'm not gonna lie. Man, that funny.
Big Cat

Yeah, Shane earned his spot for not he did that.
Grits
It's a lot of. But this is the thing. It's like I, I be, I be. And this is just my perspective. I could be wrong cuz I'm not a comic. And it's like some just win because they don't go away. Does that make sense?
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Grits
You know what I'm saying? Like, you may not be funny, but you've been around so long and somebody you been around, they done got popping.
Eagle Witt
Well, I think yes and no. I think they win to a certain level. I think to win big, you don't go away. And you nice.
Grits
You gotta be nice.
Eagle Witt
You gotta be nice to win big. You gotta be nice. But to have a decent career. Yeah, you could just stick around.
Grits
Cause I think what I think if I'm not mistaken, Reg is like what, 13, 11, 11 years in the game. It's like, bro, that could happen at any time.
Eagle Witt
Real rap. Yeah, at any moment, bro. Yeah, and it's crazy too with stand up, it's so lucrative. But it isn't for so long. Like once you hit with standup, it's stupid how much money you making off stand up, right? But it for so long, you like, nigga, how I'm gonna pay these bills?
Big Cat
Like.
Eagle Witt
And then literally like that, it's like I sold how many tickets?
Grits
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
Oh shit.
Grits
Literally, like they never gotta worry about. You never gotta worry about that shit again.
Big Cat
For real?
Eagle Witt
Fuck for real.
Big Cat
Yeah. That's dope.
Grits
Though.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, Seen it happen to people for real. Overnight. And it's not overnight because you work.
Big Cat
You work so long.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, but that switches overnight when they decide to click it. Yeah, it's a rap, bro.
Grits
This Alisa Deek ain't got a stand up. He doesn't have a standup with less than 5 million views.
Eagle Witt
Like, that's so impressive, bro. It's so impressive.
Grits
He's dropped Mass special.
Eagle Witt
Yeah, it's so impressive.
Grits
And I think, think. I think the lowest one is like 1.2. Nigga, that's crazy deal. Do you know how many your lowest is? 1 point. Listen, my nigga, we do get sometimes, like with social media and like Internet, we do forget, like, numbers mean things. 1.2 million people, nigga, that's everybody in New York.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot of people.
Big Cat
A lot of people. I say everybody in Gwinnett county, my nigga.
Grits
How many? How many? What's the population of New York?
Eagle Witt
Like nine mil.

Oh, okay, whatever.
Eagle Witt
I mean, it's overcrowded, bro. We. It's crazy.
Grits
It's Atlanta.
Big Cat
They just Gwinet county alone.
Grits
So. So imagine like. That is huge. Damn. It's 9 million people.
Eagle Witt
What? It feels like they build vertically. Yeah, it feels like. Feel like it.
Grits
It feels like it.
Eagle Witt
It don't make sense.
Big Cat
Just step on top of each other. That's it.
Eagle Witt
I'm telling you right now, you. I realized how packed we were is recently. I really realized how packed we were celebrating for the Knicks, like I said, right?
Grits
That's blew up.
Eagle Witt
I didn't even see the bus blow up. I turned my head and a bunch of people was running. And I thought, I'm gonna get stampeded. And I ran. And as I was running, I thought, nigga, it's too many people in New York. Like, the fact that people can run. And you think you gonna get stamped on, like, just like.
Grits
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eagle Witt
It's like, yo, they put too many people here.
Grits
Yeah, the fear of being trampled is a real fear.
Eagle Witt
You get real trampled here.
Grits
Speaking of this, before we go, I wanna get your opinion on this. And hopefully by the time this drop, this is still relevant also. Thank you for coming.
Eagle Witt
Yo, thank you for having me. I was excited, bro. This. I don't do everybody's pod. I say no to mad pods. I was excited about this shit.
Grits
Yeah, man, this is good.
Eagle Witt
I've been thinking about this shit since you said it. For real.
Grits
Hey, look, I ain't gonna hold you. Like, he had gave me a. He had gave me A number I think he gave me. Like, it was probably an old number or something. I was like, damn. He would dub me son.
Eagle Witt
Like, oh, Reg gave you my wrong number, brother.
Grits
I said, damn. Like, I thought we had a little biracial bond, man.
Big Cat
Thought he dubbed you.
Grits
I thought he dubbed me, man.
Eagle Witt
I never, bro.
Grits
But look, how hard is it to, you know, be in solidarity with the Asian boycott in New York City? God damn everything. You know. You know they boycott Asian businesses, right? You know about.
Eagle Witt
Are they boycotting Asian businesses?
Grits
Yeah, because of the Rick child verdict.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Grits
And because. And because when niggas said they was gonna do do that, the Asian started taking spicy. They started talking spicy.
Big Cat
They're crazy.
Grits
They started saying, like, you need us
Eagle Witt
so out the loop. I wish I knew this.
Big Cat
Woo.
Grits
Them started talking like, Rick Ross.
Eagle Witt
You know what's crazy? Look at me, niggas.
Grits
Biggest ever nigga and nigga started talking spicy as fuck.
Eagle Witt
You know, it's crazy.
Grits
You're not a white. Hold on real quick. You're not an Asian white lady. She's an Asian lady, but she's clearly a white bitch in her. In her soul. And she said, this is something I've heard in the black community, niggerism. I was like, man, never heard a say that.
Eagle Witt
Let me tell you something.
Grits
I said, man, she tried to get some racism.
Eagle Witt
I used to have a joke about Asian people where I say Asian people, just white people with different eyes. And I've never felt different about that.
Grits
Listen, bro, I always call the Asians. I always call the Asians White 2.0. You have to remember that Genghis Khan is coursing through their blood. Yeah, I don't know, nigga raping and pillaging is there, bro. Like them that Genghis Khan was tearing Asia loose.
Eagle Witt
What? It's. Listen, I will say this. I was out the loop. I. I didn't even know that we was boycotting all over. You know what I'm saying? But I will say this. I. God got to be black. Because, God, I love Chinese food. Like I'm a hood. Like, I love some ratchet Chinese food in New York. Chinese food is fire. If y' all was a boycotting, I say get some. It's fire, right, bro?
Grits
Yeah, I know. I. I knew. I knew when we said that. I said, man, my New York, my dc, they're gonna struggle with it.
Eagle Witt
Yeah. Here's the thing.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Eagle Witt
So I eat Chinese every day, past few weeks. I ain't eating no Chinese food. That's God.
Grits
Oh, man.
Big Cat
Oh, man.
Eagle Witt
Yeah.
Big Cat
It's the ancestors.
Eagle Witt
I had no idea.
Grits
All it was just a little update 2.0.
Eagle Witt
I guess I ain't eating Chinese food for a while.
Grits
I'm not. I'm gonna keep it real.
Eagle Witt
Like what type of Asians was it that did it though? Korean.
Grits
The Korean and any Chinese people and.
Eagle Witt
No, no, that did the shooting.
Grits
I think, I think Rich house Korean.
Big Cat
Rich house Korea.
Grits
I don't know, I think he's Chinese.
Big Cat
I don't think he's Korean.
Eagle Witt
Crazy too, because it, you know, you remember back in the day they did that, they shot the girl.
Big Cat
Yeah, in la.
Grits
Yeah, that was the Koreans.
Big Cat
That was Koreans.
Eagle Witt
La. Yeah, that was Korean back in the day.
Grits
Yeah, he Chinese. He's Hong Kong.
Eagle Witt
Damn. I really like Chinese food.
Grits
Damn, go to Chinatown.
Eagle Witt
No, you see me trying to get loopholes. I said what was he?
Big Cat
What was he Korean? What was he?
Grits
No, but see that's the thing too. It's the thing was what happened is like N was kind of having the discussion about how like damn, we going all these places, we spend all this bread in the nail salons and the beauty supply stores and like yo, these people don't even like give us decent customer service.
Eagle Witt
You know what I always wondered about all of our women? They got the best nails, right? And they always go to the Asian people for the nails. But there's black women in the hood that do great nails.
Grits
So listen, and I'm like, why don't
Eagle Witt
we only do nails with black women? I don't understand why black women pay the Asians for the nails.
Grits
You gotta peep dog.
Big Cat
It's a lot to that though.
Grits
It's some corner cutting going on. It's a corner cutting going on in the Asian nail salons where they not licensed. And yeah, you know, they reusing certain that's only for one time use so
Eagle Witt
that like so you can charge less.
Grits
Yeah, so it's very expensive. So I'mma say this though, if you would. What you've seen especially in the southern states is like a total 3, 6, 180. Nobody's in the beauty supply stores. And all these black women and men are like, like getting all this business to their beauty supply stores cuz they being discovered and these black nail salons are being discovered. So it's like happening. You know what I mean?
Eagle Witt
Yeah, yeah.
Grits
And the Asians are mad, bro. And they, they calling us everything but a child of God, bro. And it's been great to see because it's like tell us how you really feel. I mean I already Know you felt like this, though. I mean, you can tell by how they treat you when you come in their business, though. You know, it's like they want you to leave, but they want you to move money.
Eagle Witt
It's crazy too.
Grits
It's a weird way to treat people
Eagle Witt
crazy, cuz they gonna struggle without our dollar.
Grits
Yes.
Eagle Witt
Like, black people heavily supported the.
