Called it!!!

And I agree with what others are saying here. Dick is the man. Maddox didn't even mention him?! His co-host?! Holy shit. If he has a reasonable beef, let it be known. Otherwise, that's seriously shitty character. No explanation...if anyone else did that, he'd be freaking out, but it's Madoff and he's obviously a hypocrite.

"And finally, a very special thanks to me for tirelessly putting in 10-12 hours per episode for over 2 years, without a single break. You’re welcome."

There's a point where the "I'm so awesome, I'm the best" shtick crosses the line and you've witnessed it here big time. With that attitude, how does Madoff (btw, you's a bitch) not relate more to Trump?

/u/DickMasterson: Dick, get your ass in gear and do a podcast, even if it's just you! Bill Burr does it and you can, too. You're who we want to hear, the funny and cool one. Nothing has pissed me off more than piss driblets and having to shit after I shower...until what Madoff has just done. Maddox needs to be upvoted to be the Biggest Problem...although he'd remove the page or problem before that could happen, knowing him.

You know what this is like? When Oprah, with her billions of dollars, said "25 years seems like a good stopping point." No real reason given, but we have the general idea. Except they only did 2 years.

Finally, what Madoff says on the page is total bullshit! This was obviously planned. He waited until exactly the 2 year mark (104 episodes), he brought in the problem he'd been saving forever (Asteroids), and we saw the PM posted where Dick said he didn't even know if they were doing a show and that Maddox was a prick. I'm not interested in Madoff's network of shite. This leaves a gross taste in my mouth. If he'd been straightforward, ended it with dignity and respect to the fans and Dick, things might have been different. But he chose another route. Dick...you're the man. Maddox...go fuck yourself.

I'm out.

that is why there was no season pass for the bonus episodes. this was planned a very long time ago.

[–]K3R3G3 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good observation. I actually never got around to buying the bonus episodes, but listened to all the others, half of them more than once (I have 80-106 on my phone and always go back.)

Everyone issue credit card chargebacks on their bonus episode purchases and send the money to Dick's PayPal! lol

[–]pl29 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think that is the reason, I think buying individual episodes was a test by maddox to see if people would buy episodes more based on its content. With a season pass you are less likely to see that happen since most people will likely pay for the entire season

Maddox didn't even mention him?!

He didn't even mention him on the episode's write up. Take a gander at this paragraph, Dick's name is noticably missing:

"Special thanks to all of the guests, callers, people who sent in gifts, fans who came out to the live shows, people who bought me drinks and all of the contributors and people who work behind the scenes to make this podcast possible, including producer Randy, Sean the audio engineer, assistant Jessica, Laurie Foster and Megan Pennock. This show wouldn’t be possible without you."

[–]K3R3G3 3ポイント4ポイント  (6子コメント)

That's what I was referring to. Have yet to listened to the episode. He thanks people who bought him drinks, but not the guy that was more entertaining and was at the helm of the ship with him from day one. Might as well have slapped him across the face and spit on him. Or maybe shoe throwing is more insulting in Armenian culture.

[–]Mozicon 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

That's why I'm holding out at least a little hope that this isn't real. Maddox can do some petty shit, but I don't think he would just outright erase Dick completely out of the show for the finale... If he really is doing all this sincerely like a child, I'll be shocked.

[–]K3R3G3 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

You don't think Maddox, the most egotistical man on the planet, wouldn't do this? Didn't Maddox bring in "Prank Bros"? You think this is some elaborate joke? Going absent for weeks, ending the show, excluding Dick, and writing up a whole farewell on the website...as a joke? Hold out hope if you want, but I really don't think so, dude. That's a lot of effort for very little pay-off. I'm pretty damn sure it's over. Here's that PM screenshot from over week ago if you haven't seen it.

[–]cianmc 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

It seems kind of weird that Dick would say all that shit in private but keep completely silent in public. Also weird that he would say they aren't friends when they've discussed anecdotes where they're hanging out outside the show and patting each other on the back for their work.

[–]Mozicon 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've seen that, and I do believe that's over, but it's just a holdout hope because I really don't want it to end like this. The biggest thing is I don't think Maddox would be that stupid to piss off a bunch of his fanbase right as another one of his products is coming out. Just seems fishy, but it probably did just blow up at the worst time with Maddox handling it very poorly.

[–]tekende 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

We all know Maddox is a huge hypocrite, so him bringing up prank bros as a problem doesn't mean he wouldn't pull a prank himself.

[–]CreamedButtz 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Might as well have slapped him across the face and spit on him.

I wish he had, because Dick beating him to death would be a far more acceptable end to the show.

[–]ThisIsWhoWeR 16ポイント17ポイント  (7子コメント)

There's no way this ISN'T about Dick. I'm halfway through the last show and already into the "best of" clips. Not even a mention of Dick not being there.

[–]therealcjhard[S] 15ポイント16ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yeah, there is no doubt that this is about Dick. Maddox is very blatantly avoiding mentioning his existence whatsoever.

[–]squirrelmasterzero 19ポイント20ポイント  (4子コメント)

This makes me absolutely not want to listen to any of the other podcast Maddox is planning. Dick is 90% of the reason that show is funny.

[–]IDontRememberMyOldAC 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not even that I dont want to listen to them without Dick, its the fact that Maddox could create an extremely popular show, cut out his other half that made the show so popular, and then act like its his show and his show only and that no one but him deserves to know what happened. Look, if something really nasty between them happened, fine, thats personal, but at least have the decency to say that much instead of not even mentioning his name once on the final episode and cutting out his speaking parts.

[–]exrex 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep. Had Maddox at least acknowledged what has happened, I would have considered his new material. Not now. Thx Maddox and Dick. It was fun while it lasted.

[–]cianmc 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm not gonna lie, I often didn't like Dick that much throughout the show and I guess I could maybe listen to a version of the show where he was replaced as cohost (maybe not though, he still definitely a lot of what makes it great), but not if he was forcefully removed from the show like this and not even given a mention in what is supposedly the final episode. If nothing comes out to clear this shit up there's no way I'm going to start listening to some other podcast that Maddox starts up.

[–]IOUaUsername 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

In the 2nd bonus episode Maddox said that Dick wasn't there.

[–]exrex 14ポイント15ポイント  (4子コメント)

This makes no sense at all. Why the fuck would you not at least acknowledge your co-host through two years and explain what happened to your interested listeners? This is so unprofessional.

[–]IDontRememberMyOldAC 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

He believes that people dont deserve to know and all they deserve to know is that he's not there anymore. I get it if he doesnt want to create drama in his fan base, but at least lightly touch the subject...jeez.

[–]Mozicon 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I feel like it has created more drama since now we're pissed because he won't tell us.

Jealous Butthurt Podcast-Nuking Dick-Ignoring Non-Explaining Arrogant Cuck Madoff [you's a beeyitch]

(Edit/P.S. - I was actually planning to get him a nice pen engraved with "Ya know, I'm a writer, I'm---ugh..." Glad I didn't waste my cash.)

[–]mumkeyjonesTitanic 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is fucking tragic. My favorite podcast is dead. We desperately need a Dick and Tim Changz podcast. I need Dick's humor in my life. Fuck.

[–]irsoolHot Sauce 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

I guess we should've seen it coming after the no-dick episode some time ago. Still, fucking sucks.

[–]BlinkingMorseCodeDick 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Why should we have seen it coming from that? I always assumed that the no-dick episode was just a result of Dick being busy that week and they got Asterios to fill in instead of not doing a show. And that was a long time ago.

[–]hery41Sean 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Dick himself said in this sub that he was asked to not be on the show that week.

[–]BlinkingMorseCodeDick 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh right, i didn't know that. Only started coming here recently

[–]pyro261Trump 19ポイント20ポイント  (2子コメント)

I know exactly what happened:

Maddox is a baby back bitch and his ego was hurting because people liked Dick more than him.

Madoff, go fuck yourself

[–]MoistyFlesh 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

we follow this fucking wonderful podcast for this long not to have a single explanation of WHY one of the two guys that were always doing it is not even mentioned in the last show, this is fucking bullshit, not listening to a single fucking thing maddox puts out before they come out with the why

[–]Elcamo123 8ポイント9ポイント  (9子コメント)

The moment dick was told not to show up i figured that would be the shows eventual undoing.

[–]IzzyNobre 2ポイント3ポイント  (8子コメント)

Wait, he was?

[–]Elcamo123 2ポイント3ポイント  (7子コメント)

Yeah. One of the episodes it was only Maddox and Asterios. Dick commented on here and said he was asked not to show.

[–]IzzyNobre 1ポイント2ポイント  (6子コメント)

Couldn't find that comment. Are we sure it wasn't a photoshop...?

[–]BlinkingMorseCodeDick 5ポイント6ポイント  (5子コメント)

[–]IzzyNobre 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

Well it all makes sense now.

  • Maddox asked Dick to not be there, perhaps to gauge fan reaction/see how Dick-dependent the show was;

  • Plan backfired awfully, since fans love Dick and expressed as much on comments, via tweets, and here;

  • Maddox has been butthurt/jealous about it all along, and decided to ended the show out of spite, no doubt planning to carry on podcasting, now Dickfree.

[–]BlinkingMorseCodeDick 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

Maybe the show was just becoming too much stress for Maddox. For the last year everything has really been going against Maddox, and every episode starts with like 10 minutes of shitting on Maddox from last episode. He didn't seem to have any good way to blow off criticism like Dick, and it seemed to get to him a lot more. This sub for example was always full of people hating on him.

If it was stressing him out every week and he no longer wanted to do it, then I think he's well within his rights to end it. Although this way of ending it would still be a weird way to go about it.

I don't know, just guessing at other possible reasons.

If anything that cements the notion Maddox is a little pussy. He's spend what, some ~20 years ranting about everything online, but can't handle a little ribbing?

[–]Sofa_ManYo Rudy R 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was thinking the same thing, and thinking about making a post. Maddox has been deleting hate comments lately, too. I think it may have just gotten to him. I know he plays the big guy but he's a human being too.

He may have been, I guess "jealous" of Dick, but that still doesn't explain the falling out.

[–]cianmc 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wanting to quit, I get, but not saying anything about why or what happened to Dick is the problem here.

[–]ShockinglyEfficientFireball 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

My guess is it had less to do with the arrogant character Maddox plays on the podcast and mode about creative differences behind the scenes. If the screenshots are to be believed, Dick was angry about Maddox editing the podcasts to make himself look smarter. He was also angry about being kicked off for a week, which apparently Maddox wanted to do so he could shop around other co-hosts. Why he thinks Dick is a liability is beyond me, as I'm sure Dick has become the fan favorite.

Also, why they got in this together is beyond me. Unless they were friends to start with, and the podcast ruined that for them. Maybe they started getting a lot of money for it and then deciding what they should do with it ruined their partnership.

Whatever happened, I will support Dick Masterson as he is vastly more likeable than Maddox.

[–]HerkyJerky12 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Bottom line - Maddox used to be a fat neckbeard SJW type. You can shave the neckbeard off the newly skinny fatboy, but you can't make him drink health shakes...

.. or something.

Dick is busy.

[–]curtisdelsol 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

2 years of a great show with high energy and high quality is more than many performers put out in their entire careers. I don't care what happened to be honest, all good things come to an end.

Thanks Dick and Maddox!

[–]bradnasty 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah we know, but what we're asking is what happened.

[–]FSteakLover 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

All good things come to an end, but the end is usually planned out and not sudden.

[–]cianmc 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I usually fall down on Maddox's side on their arguments but I've still got to say that, unless this is an elaborate ruse, it's some pretty cold shit right here.
