Knicks Correspondent Tryouts with The Kid Mero! | The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Kid Mero joins the show to audition for the Knicks Correspondent position. The crew tries to call him out on his Knick fan delusions as he claims the Knicks are capable of beating the Celtics. Then, Tony pops into the studio to follow up on his Top 5 list from yesterday with Mero, who tries to guess which terms older Cuban ladies call Tony. Plus, Refrán Del Dia is back as Tony and Mero break down today's refrán. Also, Mike Ryan's frustrations with the Miami Heat are boiling over and it leads to him delivering an ultimatum.

DOOM

[@emilym5915]

I love Tony and Mero together

[@cargil3074]

"Mi cielo" is my heaven.

[@kevinlakeman5043]

Among other translations. Like most nouns, it has multiple meanings and connotations- sky, heaven, terms of endearment like darling, ceiling...

[@JoseRodriguez-rn3mu]

@@kevinlakeman5043yea but in this instance it means my heaven

[@gondolin999]

i miss desus & mero a lot

[@Rico513]

Post the split with everything Mero has been involved in, it is clear that Mero is the star that Desus thought he was. The Brand and The Art lives through Mero

[@mizzyfromkingz]

More Spanish please! I don’t speak it tho I’m Panamanian. I want more convos that remind me of my uncles

[@renesanchez1810]

"Sana Sana Colito Del Rana" and Vick's Vaporub is how Mi Mama taught me how to get through Colds and it still works to this day!

[@johancorrales6537]

MERO THE GOAT. 🔥 COLLAB

[@jakeprewitt3009]

Fucking love Mero. His show with Melo is one of my favorites in the “retired athlete keeping it real” genre

[@avypusha480]

Kid Mero weekly segment… collision course! 🫡

[@ashittandon9301]

Mero was soooo good

[@mcliatt1]

Mero 😂😂😂😂. I need the aka’s

[@tripp2]

[@JoshuaZGarcia]

Top 5 Top 5 of all time.

[@Kingprice08]

Please bring mero on the show more!!!!!!!!

[@fella9929]

Loved this! I've missed the show teaching us spanish!

[@budsmokinpandaz]

Mike is the ultimate reverse jinx. Keep doing it, Mike. jeremy and cortez can be the heat maniacs

[@christopherphillips6486]

Mero has to be the Knicks correspondent! LOL!

[@brockontop]

God this has been my favorite segment in a long time

[@DrFunk718]

No cap, dopest segment in a while son 😂😂😂

[@marshallclayton997]

Mero interview was incredible. Tbh no idea what the top 5 was and what was said, but it was entertaining as fuck 💀🤣

[@drakoramore9]

That was the most Cuban first half hour, & I loved it 😂. Always enjoy refràn del dia

[@toneriggz]

Mero is practically a Knick at this point.

[@81pjlawrence]

My issue with Mike's assessment about the NBA is that he's applying the Heat logic to the rest of the league. He, Heat fans, and the Heat organization got spoiled by the Finals run last year, and think that the regular season means nothing because they'll turn it on come playoff time and win everything. But the rest of the league isn't like that. Don't tell me the Minnesotas, OKCs, Orlandos, Sacramentos, etc., don't care about winning games and improving their playoff positioning and home court advantages.

[@JoseRodriguez-rn3mu]

All those teams u used for examples are small market teams that the national audience doesn’t care about but that’s just my opinion

[@tycollins4560]

🔥 segment

[@zachament3908]

One of the picks the Nuggets got in the Melo trade became JAMAL MURRAY!!!

[@nycpower9293]

But would the Knicks have picked Jamal Murray? Of course not…

[@woodley91406]

BX ALL DAY!!!!! THE BRAND IS FOREVER BROLIC!!!! THE BRAND IS FOREVER STRONG!!!!!

[@budsmokinpandaz]

Walking away from the rice is the first mistake chris. One thing you never leave alone, its a finicky bastard

For the pot boiling over, add some olive oil to the water.

[@god_ingmar5103]

This was so great lmfao

[@samstokley]

Billy ruining the segment was perfect

[@jeffkotuby]

I absolutely love Mero but why does Dan constantly remind him that his super popular show didn't work out at every turn??? Let the man move on. He's happy.

[@marshmellow3110]

My god Dan, find something other than birthed when describing an origin

[@averysmith]

No idea who this guy is but I love him and Tony

[@DaleNole]

Im glad we got Mi Cielo in there

[@nycpower9293]

Everyone loves to say “they traded the entire team for Melo”, but they leave out all the facts. The Knicks built a good team shortly after that and replaced all of those guys from the trade with better guys. Chandler was better than Mozgov, JR Smith was better than Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton came back, and Melo and Galo played the same position. The issue was Amar'e Stoudemire, who was supposed to be the co-star and was making the second most on the team was always injured and relegated to being a bench player. Also the Andrea Bargnani trade was much worse than the Melo trade. Then Phil Jackson came in a blew up the team completely, instead of building on what they already had.

[@hallelalaluwah]

No way Billy Steve Martin’d “Mi Tesoro”

[@seang2907]

33:38 a happy birthday to Pat Riley 🏀

[@alexandrgonzalez688]

Mi querer!

[@ryangaitor6216]

Durability of a hymen is fucking crazy 😂😂😂😂

[@packattack174]

Mero is great. Can we still get Sam too? Loved his segments

[@matren821]

just move the pot of rice off the heat for a minute, Chris. it'll stop boiling almost immediately.

[@chrisortiz5959]

Good to see Mero kick it with the guys

[@god_ingmar5103]

Coccainian craze? Lmfao you can tell Dan is a writer.

[@alexgoodspeed9774]

Mike the 🐐 no 🧢

[@PoppaCYS]

How can Mero not be the correspondent? He's a legit basketball fan and he's hilarious. Any excuse to have him on the show more should be exploited!

[@jamiemoore238]

Never seen extended piece with Mero before... he's awesome... great segment even though talentless Tony tried to ruin it ... dammit... watched rest of Mero piece and it was so good I even liked Tony for possibly first time ever... dan experiencing what appears to be pure joy made my soul happier

[@pizzaloverduh]

Sam quit already?

[@superconvoy]

That’s what I was thinking…

[@LordB25]

Thank god lol

[@glennfen10]

Get mero on more!!!!!!!!!

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

In for the Mero/Knicks fuckery because bing bong

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

Not off to explosive start. I'll say that.

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

Needs more journalism less topical

[@chiefbeardo2610]

Mero got a "Cope" original?

[@felixrobleto5037]

Damn… you guys left out, Cariño. Definitely should Be in the top five.

[@Kitbutnolastname]

Tell Dan it sounds like Sam "More L." Respect

[@matthewmurdick]

Mike Ryan...(mostly)truth to power!

[@GaryOranges]

DÍMELO MI GENTE!!!!

[@clos2132]

Fuera!!! lmao

[@crownjewel602]

I missed Mero!!!!!! Dan quit bringing up the breakup. He’s moved on bro

[@saucybrucru7010]

😂😂

[@TheButterThief]

My guy Mero looks like he’s lost some weight!

[@arstab]

Mero being a correspondent is Chris Paul on the lakers, Don’t F it up Dan

[@Wizkhalifted]

For the love of god stop letting Mike talk Miami Heat he is a awful and openly admits he’s not paying attention. We don’t want to hear him shit on the local team constantly

[@Wonga-Taa]

Carmelo, Knicks legend 🤔 But, the league is better overall when NY is good (even though they got no real shot)

[@ricardosalazar420]

I would trade Emmy winning witty and Amin and Chris cote for the kid MERO

[@enriqueworthy4481]

BRONX IN THE FRONT.

[@kshizzle_bizzle]

Another All Time Rant by Mike Ryan Happy Birthday Pat Riley

[@eboooo]

Mijo

[@lanceroberson3089]

Mero sounds dumb analyzing the Melo trade lol.

[@ZeroZeke-]

You traded the pick that turned to Jokic… Trading for Melo was a mistake, 100% should have waited.

[@vicecityJ305]

So the last 54 years you would rather be a Celtics fan. They play great regular seasons.

[@chevyced]

Mike Ryan is unbearable when it comes to the Heat and Hurricanes

[@mike-r575]

Once again, Dan LeBatard put away his so-called journalist hat and refused to criticize Heat GM Pat Riley, and then shut Mike Ryan up for 12.5 minutes to show his allegiance to Mr. Riley. This is similar to how Dan refused to criticize David Samson when David - as the Miami Marlins GM - strong-armed Dade County into subsidizing a new Marlins Stadium. Thank you Mike Ryan for daring to criticize the "powerful".

[@DaFactsNoNonsense1713]

Sports fans from NYC, are completely delusional/irrational/illogical = Mero's enjoying this state of mind right now

[@itbemekc]

I miss the art 🎨😢

[@HeatNattty999]

Sadly, with regret I kind of agree with Mike. Rozier & Herro are negative sum players, who are horrible at defense.

[@dominicberg3603]

Chris Corny daily show derailment 31:35

[@stephenwhite7283]

We gotta stop asking about Desus please Dan

[@net-work-error]

Look at what Rozier has done to us

[@Deltron3031]

Embedded Celtic.

[@nealpaghdal3436]

BS!?

[@jaahnnn]

This dude be saying the N word so recklessly but then if you ask him if he black he gon say "nah I'm Dominican" smfh foh new York blacks let anybody say the n word

[@Lord_Clarke]

You realize most Dominicans are Afro-latino(a) right. The slave masters were calling them the n word while whipping them to. A lot of older Dominicans don't acknowledge their Black roots because they were brain washed by Europeans

[@keligarrett63]

Terrfic!

[@lisaaaaa777]

knick’s fans are sooo delusional my god

[@vjoojv]

Please no more Mero for the love of god!

[@_bloodfart]

Mero for EP please!!!!!!!!! Give him the skril and get chris cote in the back row.

[@GIRTHYANDITCURVES]

That Knicks coke hitting like Tuci this year maaaan (no Diddy)
