I bet Maddox turned against Dick because he realized Dick was more popular with the fans. First he tries to kick him off the podcast and when that blows up in his face he tries to kill Dick's career by accusing him of wrongthink.
We're supposed to believe Maddox ended the podcast because he found out the author of Why Men Are Better Than Women isn't a feminist? Give me a fucking break.
Whatever his beef with Dick was, he could have been a professional and ended the show gracefully. After the little hiatus, they could have gotten together, acted like grown men, and decided to do a final show to announce their intentions purely as service to the fans who supported the show through its run. It could have given them a way to end on a high note, and promote their future work in a way that didn't confuse and alienate their fans. While I'm sure they made some money here , based on the fact that most of their regular contributors were unpaid, I can't imagine this thing was some kind of cash cow.
These guys are in their late 30s, living in Hollywood, still trying to land their big break into the entertainment business. I honestly don't expect much in the form of maturity from them, but at least Dick has some charisma, talent, and professionalism. He also seems to appreciate the people who support his show. Maddox is an emotionally underdeveloped man-child.
