Mero praised her love for Deadline in July 2020, explaining:
“Our souls are connected. We could complete each other’s sentences. For example, it makes no difference if I’m on Jupiter and he’s on Mars as long as our Wi-Fi connection is stable. Physical proximity helps with physical humor, but jokes still land no matter what.

Desus was a writer for a website about black entrepreneurship at the time of the meeting, and Mero was a teaching assistant.
