Understanding English first would be a step towards finding TM and Maddox funny.
Anyone know if they're going to make anymore of these shows or collaborate on any other sort of new material?

I'd subscribe to Sirius to hear a Maddox talk show... probably.

Tucker annoyed me several times throughout, drowning out people who had more valid/funnier points then he did, but he loosened the reigns a bit later in the show.
Maddoxs' stories were easily funniest, and though his voice was initially grating (a bit higher than I normally hear on the radio), it was the clearest speaking and he spoke with the best inflection among them. I don't even like Maddox that much, but of the three, his moments/stories were funniest.
DRex kept slipping my mind, as he just wasn't as consistently loud as Tucker, and nor was he very memorable in his comments.
Overall, I enjoyed it. Had some pretty good parts, and I'd listen again.

I agree. Tucker did too much talking, DRex not enough, and neither one was nearly as funny as Maddox. I was laughing so hard at Maddox's stories, but not so much at Tucker's, and Drex didn't have any, so...

Maddox has always struck me as just a bitter, bitter socially inept guy who nevertheless is a good writer and is one of those people who can use that whole 'I'm angry at the world' thing and make it funny- we all have one of those friends. The show confirmed that for me. Although when he did talk, it was pretty funny, he just didn't have much to contribute to the show. His humor and Tucker's humor is just so different that they rarely both have much to say on the same subject, which of course makes doing a radio show together somewhat problematic.
I will say though that Maddox had by far the some of the wittiest comments to make. The cold sore comment was hilarious.

Mmm... nothing really impressive...

I stop listening after the first guy talked about his spring break thing and said "A bunch of Blond Sluts" Now that's sexual frustration

How's that sexual frustration? I don't see the need to degrade women verbally like that in front of a male audience unless you have some issues with women. That's my take. Agree or don't I'm not debating this.

Sorry to bump, but in light of Maddox and Dick Mastersons very successful podcast recently ending, I was also wondering what ever became of this? How many episodes of this were there? Does anyone have a name for it? Does anyone have the stuff downloaded somewher?
