Our interview with The Kid Mero is an instant classic. Mero—legendary podcaster and the new host of Hot 97's Mornings with Mero—brought his seemingly endless energy from his morning show straight to the stu to riff on leaving your jewelry at the hotel, his new morning routine, pulling all-nighters and oversleeping, negotiating with numbers on paper the old school way, how his new gig has affected his marriage and family life, corporate weed policies, growing up on Hot 97, all the legends who reached out to show him love, the perks that come with being the voice of waking up New York, checking in with his suburban dad neighbors and their slang usage, interviewing Timothée Chalamet, rise of the wigga and the Mount Rushmore of white boys, how his boy Zohran Mamdani is settling into office and his own political ambitions, snow days in Jersey, making sure his kids never forget they're Dominican, and much more on The Kid Mero's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.


In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
