    Dad First, Celebrity Second feat. The Kid Mero

    BACK WITH A BANGER! This week, the Father Hoods squad links up with none other than The Kid Mero—comedian, writer, Bronx-bred Dominican dad of four, and all-around wild storyteller. From back-to-back diaper duty to riding in beach chairs as seats in minivans with his own pops, Mero breaks down the madness of raising kids back then and now. The host of 7 PM in Brooklyn keeps it raw about fatherhood, remembering the shock of becoming a young Dad, leaving his job to go full-time Dad, and even keeping it 100 with his kids about medicinal marijuana. Mero doesn’t sugarcoat, whether it’s talking about how his kids see him in the public eye or how he’d handle it if they ever tested the same boundaries he once did. From hosting/writing/producing shows to cheering on his kids’ athletic dreams, Mero reminds us that being a Dad is about showing up, holding it down, and keeping it a stack no matter what. This one’s packed with laughs, gems, and that unfiltered Bronx energy only Mero can bring!
