They\u2019re going \u201crenegade\u201d on stodgy sports talk radio.<\/p>\n

In an effort to tap into a younger, divergent demographic, WFAN\u2019s \u201cCarton & Roberts\u201d show is adding TikTok superstar Josh Richards to its Friday lineup. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s going to walk us through his world, and we\u2019re going to walk him through ours, and the combination is going to be entertaining,\u201d Craig Carton exclusively told The Post of the Gen Z crossover. \u201cWe\u2019re just trying to extend the reach we all have collectively to newer and bigger audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 20-minute segment, which will kick off weekly at 5 p.m., launches next Friday. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Josh for a while now. I have a daughter who is a sophomore in college and a son who is a freshman, and I am a very immature adult. So between my kids and myself, I would be foolish to not be aware of what\u2019s going on. There\u2019s no such thing as traditional media<\/a> anymore, so guys like Josh who created a name for himself is a natural extension of what we do,\u201d said Carton, 51.<\/p>\n

Roberts, 37, added that his wife is also a big fan of the floppy-haired teen heartthrob.<\/p>\n

Richards, who turns 19 on Sunday (also Carton\u2019s birthday), rose to fame making dance and lip-synching videos on TikTok, where he now has 24 million followers. The Toronto native lives in Los Angeles, and was part of the \u201cSway House,\u201d which is a collective of young, photogenic TikTok influencers showcasing their regular workouts, dramas and teenage hijinks.<\/p>\n

But Richards has journeyed far beyond lip-sync videos and flexing his six-pack abs. Among his many business ventures, he\u2019s an angel investor and has co-founded TalentX, an agency representing internet stars. In October, he launched an odd couple podcast with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy called \u201cBFFs.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI would say it\u2019s more a calculated move,\u201d he said of joining forces with Carton & Roberts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a huge fan of sports, and have been an athlete myself. And this world of Barstool and Craig, it\u2019s an opportunity that I\u2019ve always wanted when I was a kid,\u201d said Richards, who roots for Toronto franchises and the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n

Carton said the segment will be \u201ca conversation among guys who like sports\u201d and will cover both on-and-off-the-field topics. <\/p>\n

And Richards will not only bring a youthful audience, but also a unique perspective since athletes \u2014 including New Jersey Devils star P.K. Subban and numerous University of Alabama football players \u2014 regularly seek him out on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of these college players are still kids, so they want to have a good time, come to LA, maybe film [videos] and hang out,\u201d said Richards.<\/p>\n

To round out their symbiotic partnership, Carton and Roberts will be also creating their own TikTok account. Richards promises he\u2019ll coax the duo into performing \u201crenegade,\u201d the viral dance popularized on the platform in 2019. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been practicing the Macarena and line dancing,\u201d Carton cracked. \u201cWe\u2019re all in the business of trying to entertain people. At times it will be self-deprecating.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Carton\u2019s older, more conservative listeners, he predicts Richards will be a hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019re going to love it. It\u2019s going to be entertaining,\u201d Carton said. \u201cLife is hard for people. When they download<\/a> us or put us on, we\u2019re trying to put a smile on their faces.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
