The Kid Mero
Josh Johnson covers updates on the situation in Iran: Al Roker forecasts "haboobs" developing in the Middle East, Tehran defiantly refuses a ceasefire agreement, and Trump declares the war over and "won" while Pete Hegseth's loosened enlistment requirements say otherwise.
Desi Lydic highlights the politicians striking out on social media in both short-form and long-form as they try to garner Gen Z's attention ahead of the midterms. From short cringey TikToks to long cringey podcasts, Desi is begging politicians to connect with young people by talking like actual human beings.

They talk about evolving from a lifelong listener of HOT 97 to their newest host, connecting to listeners who call with open confessions, advocating for unhoused youth with Covenant House, and Mero shows Josh how to tie his Timberlands the New York way.
