Mero is unbelievably corny and tries way too hard. He's a legit corny *** *****.

Their show was straight, but I never really understood the hype. Show was basically them just cracking jokes about **** they saw on Twitter or IG. They had great guests but the interviews were weak.
That was recent. In earlier podcasts, they would wrap that **** up in like 5 minutes. Idk if they're just busy with the show or just lazy now.
Dawg WHAT
How did you determine he's an underachiever & has a lack of passion based off him talking on a podcast.
To be fair these dudes literally gave out 1-2 hours of free content for years, Signed up for the vice show & literally filled up an half hours worth of material nightly for about a year, & now working on a cable TV show. Lazy isn't a word that would fit them, although i agree the podcast isn't as good anymore.
Nah the early Bodega Boys podcasts were good. Somewhere in that stretch on Viceland is when I started getting tired of hearing those guys.
They’re also way more PC now. They’re more out there now and the white liberal crowd seems to love them, so they can’t really be as reckless as they used to be on Desus vs Mero or even on the earliest Bodega Boys podcasts.
Also the ratio between the level that they seem to be beloved by white folks vs. the amount of ethnic folks checking for them is no bueno, especially considering what their brand is. I don’t think it was like that at first, but now they’re kinda out here looking like “hip” white folks’ favorite black friends, which I don’t know is ever the best look for minority entertainers. Looking through their IG comments and seeing some of the folks trying to speak like them, yeah, nah.
Also because they’re bigger now, there’s a much bigger chance they’ll run into the folks they talk about so again, not as reckless as they used to be.
Also like people mentioned, they’ve been putting out a ton of content for the last 2 or 3 years with no writers. Their voices are getting old, their takes are starting to get kinda stale. I think if they toned it down a bit with the jokes and got more conversational they’d be better off. Every time I’ve ever heard them with a guest on the pod or guesting on another podcasts it’s been good. But them just rapid fire throwing out random jokes between each other is getting old.
Also I won’t act like they’re not corny sometimes, but they used to be more funny than corny, now I dunno.
I gotta see what they do with the Showtime show but maybe all this time off in addition to actually having writers might help. And I’m assuming they got a budget now so they can do some man on the street ****, have guest contributors to the show, basically just mix it up a little. Or maybe they just had their run and people are tired of them. I guess we’ll see.
That dude Mero be going hard with that white frat boy type of humor.
It wasn't always like that?

Put em on the spot could be a good description
Eh, wouldn’t agree. Can you really be put on the spot when you warned before hand about what was going to happen?
IDK why the **** the Tax/Desus & Mero episode isn't up anymore.. NYC gold right there

Yeah, I don't think any of us like Ak enough to watch him dolo.
I noticed Mouse Jones has a sneaker shoe on BET with Rich Maze, which is weird since he was with Complex on Full Size Run
