I remember hearing when this guy first reviewed Dick 's show before ever knowing him, and at first he didn't like it, but iirc, he thought most of Dick's most over-the-top statements and exuberant moments were mostly in-character shtick, and by the end of covering Dick initially he'd overridden what seemed like his typical indy comedy guy ironic defenses to really enjoy Dick's show. Anyway, didn't Dick reciprocate the love, and basically cosign this guy's podcast as like the next best thing possible to his own show? Anyway, between him believing a lot of Dick's behavior is kayfabe, and a popular show he'd become an actual fan of being so kind to him, he's probably got a ton of loyalty to TDS & it's community. Probably wouldn't disassociate unless Dick did something undeniably scummy, undeniably not part of character kayfabe.
Oh damn,

@George Cuckzunian have you ever taken a look at this guys numbers/success before Dick Show association, and whatever trend there was after the association with Dick? This could help, though it seems too obvious for you haven't to have checked it out yet (but I got concussion damage & can't remember shit sometimes)
It's fitting that he's tried to work Mersh in as a capo

cuz Mersh is the one person worse than Dick when it comes to boomer misunderstanding & misappropriation of that darn internet eslang us kids use. When his thread was finally made here, I think it came as a bit of a relief for him tbh, cuz he had so overused the one internet word he knew, "SPERG", so terribly much, that that horse was already under the pavement with the sticks used against it. He finally got to learn some new fuckin vocabulary fitting for his, or any 3-times-a-day, show. God knows he could never think up anything original on his own. At least Dick had the "Hot Goss" and "Rages"
Did Maddox use the term as a joke, or was it used against him? (I'm gonna guess against)
