Mero opened up about their relationship in July 2020
“There is a spiritual bond between us.” We knew how to complete each other’s sentences. It doesn’t matter if he’s on Mars and I’m on Jupiter, as long as we have a solid Wi-Fi connection. Physical intimacy helps with physical humor, but the jokes hit regardless.”
When they were teenagers, the two met in the Bronx. They bonded over their childhood memories, ’90s hip-hop and Yankees talk radio. During the meeting, Desus was working as a teaching assistant and Mero was writing for a black entrepreneurial website. They started their internet careers by sending out funny tweets before launching their podcast and eventually a TV show.
