Background:
George "Maddox" Ouzounian (/u/MaddoxReddit), of late 90s e-fame, torpedoed the only good thing he's done in years this summer. As part of the falling out, he posted a video claiming that his former business partner, Dax "Dick Masterson" Herrera (of Dr Phil fame / /u/DickMasterson), stole money from their show and "maintains a 'rape list'" due to an anonymous 8chan post. He also accused Dick of being a "rape apologist" because Dick suggested that women are capable of making themselves safer. Dick posted the financials (which someone broke down line by line) that prove that Maddox was full of shit.
Maddox blew up his old, successful podcast because his ex-cohost Dick "allegedly" slept with woman Maddox dated 4 years previously. He then lied about the reasoning by claiming fraud and embezzlement and claiming his ex-cohost condones rape. Maddox then allegedly spends $30,000 on a website and launches a "network" of 2 podcasts: The Best Debate in the Universe (he redirected the old feed to this podcast in order to deceive advertisers by inflating his listeners) and Pod Awful. Pod Awful is run by a guy named Jesse "P-S" Smith and has been around for a while. Despite the fact that Jesse has been doing "comedy" since 2009, he has no real fanbase given that prior to joining the "MadCast Media Network" he had fewer than 30 Patrons on Patreon. That number has skyrocketed to 75 since September of this year.
Jesse keeps trying to stir up shit. He set up a fake Patreon to steal money from actual content creators (there's a lot of untapped drama here). He's kind of a homophobe. But don't worry you guys, he was hacked! Here's a 300 comment post about him talking about Dick's show.
The Drama:
One of Dick's friends is a black man named Denzel Walkes (host of new podcast Real Nerd Hours). Recently Jesse was talking about him for seemingly no reason. Here's a copy of the audio (in video form). Here's the transcript:
Jesse: “You know that guy Denzel who’s on their show?”
Caller?: “Uh, yeah. He's one of the black guys?”
Jesse: “Yeah, that fuckin nigger.”
Caller?: “Yeah”
Well, this has set off a firestorm. It's easier if I just give the links:

Jesse is doing damage control on his account /u/DoctorPooPoo. Many suspect that /u/ateasegirl is Jesse's alt, but this is still unknown (a play on words for "80's Girl," Dick's on-air nickname for his girlfriend).
Maddox, in a hilarious about-face when it affects him, posted a tweet condemning The Dick Show fans (and trying to get them booted off Patreon) for using Maddox's own tactics to try and shame Jesse's racism (Reddit link). He immediately deleted this tweet, but not after getting called out on it and screencapped.
That's mostly it. I skipped over some stuff like the hateful things he said to /u/asterioskokkinos, but that's mostly it.
