If you tru bodega hive you know this was coming. They would joke about it at times. But under the jokes was some truth. Just wish we could've got the mega church going before they split. Hopefully they come back together for that. If not Mike Francesa has to do the reunion podcast when they rejoin
Mero been funny don’t know why niggas actin surprised... a lot of the funniest moments during their interviews or appearances on other shows are because of him
I’m actually just more surprised that he was putting in the work like he was. I never questioned his New York though he remind me of most cats from up there but he was really putting in that behind the scenes work I gotta give him props for that
Mero talking about syndication is so crazy. The Showtime show went exactly four seasons. That's how many seasons you need to get picked up for syndication. In episodes they have double the minimum amount needed for syndication and residual checks. Matter how it ended between them two, they both got a bag coming to them for at least 15 to 20 years because of that. Potentially.
TV aint what it used to be. They kept selling pieces of their brand a long the way too. They dont even own their own youtube channel, vice still does. They gotta start over
@@SutekhDaSteemroller lmaoooo my thing is … if a dude on RUclips knows this you bet understand showtime who got money invested knows this … can’t be that simple
the fact they all started singing the "living single" intro song made me smile like a mf, that show was hitting way before its time and hit at the time. i still got a crush on maxine...from the show and her real life self is dope.
@@EYECONN Yeah that would be dope to see. I never seen Esso and Bigga laugh this much and I’ve been a day one watcher when he had knowledge and Ms fit as the co host
@@HighRants. but this crew is better to me. Being honest they've brought new viewer's and made the audience grow. Hope Math keeps this crew for a long time!!
@@cardinalsin9726 He doesn't seem like he would be into Desus & Mero's style of humor. He was probably trying to figure out a way to change the subject to something about god. LOL
Hey MERO.... glad you said that you put the bag away... that's where I'm at... not to say that happened recently... but I understand having to make that choice because I have to keep my priorities in order... have to be strong or they gonna tear me apart #respect
The absolute most ignorant thing is teasing someone for being intelligent and having a decent household. I grew up in the hood and I had both parents in my household growing up. My friends only had mommy in the crib. I never got teased.
He tweeted in all caps then wrote for The Source in all caps. I was writing for them at the time. Combat was telling me about him before he started. Combat called his fame long before the fame.
Just imagine after every question someone explaining how the question was offensive instead of a real answer and you got the desus interview minus the time wasted having to listen to it
Once stations like Fox built up their brand they dropped all their black shows! Actually once FOX got that NFL deal they literally kissed all their black shows goodbye!
I definitely felt like they bamboozled the audience they brought in from the black shows, thinking that the ploy to get us to watch worked and we would stay loyal to the channel. There isn't programming like that any more and it's sad.
@@lewlootpack4459 it’ll cycle back around and now it’s more the streaming services that have quality black shows- Hulu, HBO Max , Netflix etc..,,, Regular broadcast tv is way behind.
I just got inspired by Mero to write even more. I mean I have books full of stories songs rhymes whatever that I just didn't think was good enough. I'm gonna find out this year what it is.
Try taking the rexommend dose of black seed oil for a week and you will be downloaded with vivid dreams and stories. Get past some of the scary stuff and watch your imagination unfold. Trust me it's magical. Fyi black seed oil is good for you so don't worry about it.

I've seen him dap up Esso once and that was like the most emotion I've seen him show, no cap, he seems like he and Mike tyson are from the same type of cloth, that old school Buck 50 cross ya face NY
I was watching this high thinking the same thing bruh 😂😂😂😂😂 especially the one part where mero was going an impression everybody in the room laughing and he just straight up stone faced
Word, it was perfect when it was on Viceland. It was still cool when it was on Showtime, but you could tell producers and people wielding power kept throwing their arms in the mix, so it was smooth, just wasn't as raw as it used to be.
Been a Bodega member since like ep 6 of the podcast. Loved watching you guys grow however the Showtime show did not hit like the Vice show and the podcast
Desus and Mero I watched faithfully twice a week......for them to end this for WHATEVER reason breaks my heart sincerely

I can remember is Desus saying on an old Viceland clip, "I'm not gonna lose my bag by getting in my bag." That was like 5 years ago.
