Those last few pods it seemed like Desus wasn’t feeling Mero. Keep in mind, it’s not like these two grew up together, they met on twitter
Mero was terrible on the show last year. Seemed unprepared or too drunk/high on a bunch of episodes. Just rambling bs that never ended in a joke.

I don’t know which came first tho, Desus ego being out of control or Mero phoning it in.

Either way, still love the show, but a break is good. Only so many times you retell the same jokes.

I thought they went to the same elementary school or something

But then went different ways so weren't that close

If yall have a good contract shouldn't be no beef

Desus is a lot older than Mero. I don’t know what his Hollywood age is

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
when they let DJ Envy flex
I will never understand how anyone thinks this. Desus by himself, he would probably get bullied, he was always worried about connects, but Mero pretty much made Envy hide in his own house (his show, and he hid u til they were out of the studio). They were try hards, and Mero especially thought he was funnier than he really was, but they kept it current, and they kept in NYC, there was room enough for everyone, and I am sad they didn’t make it all the way. I hope they cashed out in some way

They never really stopped being funny but listening to the pod over the last two or so years you could tell the chemistry wasn’t there anymore.

Matter of time. They weren't friends in real life it seemed. Met online, got into a business together, lived differently in real life but kept it together for the bag. Now they big enough with connects and writing credits to branch out alone and either sink or swim.

I'm lowkey rooting for Mero. People always said he was the least funny of the two, but he seems like the more "real" one.

I swear I read the school shyt in rolling stone or some other article

Desus grew up and went to school with Chris Hayes, who is 43. So he is probably in that age range
