The Bodega Boys talk about growing up in the Bronx

- Bronx natives Desus Nice and The Kid Mero established themselves as comedic duo The Bodega Boys with their first podcast and web series, Desus vs. Mero, which debuted on Complex TV at the end of 2013. The show's set evoked a true Bronx bodega (cardboard, crates, bottles of fruit barrel juice), and the podcast accelerated the popularity of the two, who had each established cult internet followings, primarily on Twitter.
As part of Home Sweet Home, Desus and Mero take us on a tour of the Bronx, with stops at a few of their early childhood homes, where Mero introduces us to the idea of Spanish cousins, Desus explains why you don't need an intercom in the Bronx (you just yell up, "Heyo!") and what a "Bronx tear" is (hint, it has nothing to do with crying).

Proud New Yorker, I'm from Brooklyn. And I can say I went to school with people from the Bronx and their some of the most realest people you will ever meet. BX what's good? Nothing but love.
The brand is 💪🏽
I'm born and raised in the Bronx. One of my childhood friends sister lived in that building on Jerome. I'm from the Popham, Undercliff, Sedgwick Ave area. Or the beginning of Hip Hop- Kool Herc's playground. They are absolutely right, when saying the Bronx is dangerous, but not if you're from there. The danger part becomes normal everyday life. One time I was at all-star weekend in San Antonio. I went to the Hilton in San Antonio. The hotel was all booked up. I started talking to the person at the front desk. I told him I was from the Bronx and he found me a room. Almost the same thing happened to me in Vegas. I was talking to the lady at the front desk . when I was checking in. She saw that my driver's license was from the Bronx she said her husband was from the Bronx. She told me, let me do something for you. Then she took $100 off my room at New York New York. The BX. Baby !!!!
I am from Sam Antonio Texas. I wanna go visit the Bronx to see what it is like. My favorite artist is Fat Joe and he was raised in the Bronx.
One minute of silence for Desus's hairline please.
When u got a beard that good who gives af about head hair. I would go bald right now for the beard coverage he got!
Gabriel Martiz Why do you think he wears a hat all the time?
Osito Kintsugi my thoughts exactly 😍
Beard oil man! Beard oil and balm for conditioning, then wax later on when you have a full beard that needs to be supported.
Tory lanes gotta give up the plug
These dudes r funny af
His parents bought that building for 13k? Damn that's a come up
Wish I could go back in time to 1970s NYC where the property was being sold at a fraction of the price it would reach by the 2000s.
