the.crooked Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Surprised none of the old heads had started a thread about this yet. Sad to see one of our old own lose their show (although it seems to be a specific choice). From 12oz to victorylight.blogspot to podcasts to Viceland to Showtime. Still big ups to MERO for making me laugh for fucking years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Delle Donne Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) i'm really optimistic for him and desus. their show was produced and written but rarely came off like a lot of talk shows in that vein — especially other " "urban" " demographic talk shows. lot of those are overproduced and hard to watch. these two had real chemistry. i feel like they were inspirational to a generation of would-be entertainers, their trajectory was incredible. i can't imagine what it's like to have a friendship scripted and produced every week. it's a tough choice, are you gonna walk away from a big check with your friend? even knowing what you're risking? i think every show/podcast goes through a version of this. the joe budden podcast just did this. mixing business and friendship always gets messy. best of luck to both of them, truly Edited July 20, 2022 by Elena Delle Donne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I enjoyed Mero on the forum and Victorylight was fucking great. I never really watched his shit once he was prime time. I would see the ocassional clip somewhere and lolz because “its a dude that used to chop it on oontz”. Dude is funny and obviously charismatic so I am sure he will show up somewhere soon enough. Too bad he didnt rock a 12oz Tee or have a sticker on the set - would have been hella traffic but dude is smart that shit would have also fed into cancel culture. He will probably end up getting paid for making people laugh somehow. Dude should try stand up…. Edited July 20, 2022 by fat ralphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.crooked Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 From what I understand he's been gettin blazed and playin video games with his kids on twitch, which... honestly seems like the most wholesome outcome for ol boy. Desus is doing a trial run on Kimmel during his sabbatical, he's gonna do just fine too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I've never actually seen his show. I don't watch a lot of TV. But I don't like to hear about bad outcomes. Dude was definitely charismatic and if this is how his trajectory has gone so far, I'm sure he's gonna go on and continue to do big things.

Dark_Knight Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Unrelated but how come people say “not someone” when talking about a subject now? Like wtf does that mean lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOOGLE? Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 It makes sense cause the ghetto. Not someone = I saw or heard someone/somebody/persons/people say with added hyperbole. I only really know the valley California version pre internet so it probably means something else and got popular from a different place. I just found out WTF boolin is today from my neckbeard coworker who grew up on a farm.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desus is doing a trial run on Kimmel during his sabbatical, he's gonna do just fine too. Whaaat?! I heard about the demise but not about this part. Was kinda wondering what dude was gonna do since it looks like mero had the better setup up after doing some acting. Either way what a fucking bummer man. Idfk why mf’s always gotta kill a good thing. I never listened to the podcast outside of a couple of times but I wonder if anything was addressed there. Still hella pissed that mf didn’t have a single 12oz sticker on deck. Nothin. But whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Knight Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Graffiti is dead. That’s been a statement since I got in the game. But now it’s nothing more than a cute accessory to your favorite corporate company. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Delle Donne Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 anytime anyone posts "graffiti is dead!" it summons me. the only pure graffiti is writing on things with markers.. everything else is played out. catch a tag on a dumpster and you'll preserve the culture 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails0nE Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 sucks about their fall out but they'll both be just fine.. "allegedly" alot if not most of it stems from some shit with their manager/friend.. i guess showtime asked him to stop coming to tapings and reads or whatever cause they got mad complaints from employees of him being a dick and yelling at people and just being an asshole overall.. mero was sticking with their homie, desus understood where showtime was coming from and was ok with it.. i guess the real question is, given the situation if this is indeed what happened with their fallout, how would you play it out? give up a brand you built for a homie who could potentially ruin it and other upcoming endeavors and stick by his side cause he was there since day one..? or have him step down a peg or two, re-evaluate some things and keep it moving forward? tough call honestly.. sometimes staying loyal to certain people will close certain doors and opportunities for you because of the company you keep.. idk.. either way I hope the best for them both.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 @Tails0nEfirst and foremost, welcome back man. That's all true though. It's a hard lesson to learn about the company you keep. I was in my early 30s before I realized that there's just some places I can't bring people that don't have table manners. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for certain... a bad example of this is an old employer of mine; The CCO's buddy was given a job with a company as CEO, brought along all his employees that were hard core loyal to him (like 3-5 guys). Long story short they guy was not CEO material and the company wasn't doing so good, investors were getting upset. Fired the guy and all of his loyal fans. None of the above surprises me, met the guy, wasn't the most intelligent for one, two, he ripped off all kinds of products (reverse engineered) and made cheaper versions with inexperienced people at the trade. I guess he took that crap with him, thinking the "Fake it 'til You make it" thing was gonna work... But this Mero/Duses thing can be repairable. Probably not getting back to another show on another network, just wouldn't be the same, kinda like bands and stuff, * lead singer dyes, some new guy/gal/goat/tranny (the auto kind) that sounds like him replaces him/her/they/them... Sounds kinds Alice N Chains familiar ? Anyhow, I am sure they will go on their separate ways, develop their own brands, may be successful or not, or just one a second success and the other not... ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
