The Grind Time Now stage was set for a clash of styles as D'Meitz stepped up against Carter Deems, and when the dust settled, Deems walked away with the unanimous nod. From the jump, Carter brought his signature blend of off-kilter humor and cleverly constructed lines, managing to keep the crowd engaged and laughing with his unique delivery.
