The Rich Dickman Show – Our Story (So Far) Once upon a time, two friends named Rem and Huell hit the record button and launched a humble podcast with an anything-goes attitude. In those early days (circa 2018), they riffed on everything from why sharing feelings might be overrated to the wonders of recreational weed and the weird world of Twitch streaming. They even joked about making Rem’s mom a Patreon reward (yes, really) – setting the tone for a show that would blend irreverent humor with real-life absurdities. It was clear from Episode 1 that The Rich Dickman Show wasn’t your average talk show; it was a wild ride through the bizarre corners of everyday life, guided by two sharp-witted hosts finding their groove. Change came quickly (and hilariously) for our intrepid podcasters. The original co-hosts were Rem and Huell, but after 52 episodes, Huell decided to embark on an “epic” life journey – reportedly leaving the show to “tour the mountains in the Middle East with ISIS”. (Yes, you read that right – that’s the official story, and the guys still chuckle about it!). Rem, now a solo captain, wasn’t about to let the ship sink. He brought in Ray, a friend with a laid-back vibe and a knack for podcast banter. Ray fit right in… at least until the next plot twist. The show started to feature actual porn stars. Ray was “forced to quit” the show due to a contractual obligation. This era of upheaval became legend among fans – a reminder that in the world of Rich Dickman, truth is often stranger (and funnier) than fiction. Through all these twists, one man remained Rem’s constant companion: Randy. Described as a “loyal member of the show since the beginning, having been saved by Rem in the past”, Randy started as that behind-the-scenes buddy who gradually slid into the spotlight. (There’s an inside joke that Rem once “saved” Randy – don’t ask from what; the answers range from a burning building to saving him from dating a vegan). What matters is that Randy’s been the heart of the show, always there to chime in with a hearty laugh or an outrageous anecdote. Of course, being Rem’s loyal sidekick also means enduring Rem’s sharp tongue – it’s a running gag that Rem has never encountered a Randy idea he couldn’t lovingly snark apart. Longtime listeners live for these moments: Rem quips, Randy groans, and the friendship underneath it all only grows stronger (in a tough love kind of way). After Ray’s dramatic exit, the show pressed on with Rem and Randy steering the ship. By episode 175, they were ready for fresh energy – and along came Cody. Originally seeking “a new source of entertainment” in his life, Cody found it at the Rich Dickman virtual table and quickly became an integral part of the crew. With Cody’s arrival, the podcast evolved into its modern form: a trio (sometimes quartet) of friends with an almost absurd chemistry. Cody brought his own flair – a mix of deadpan delivery and unpredictable humor – and soon discovered that no one is safe from shenanigans on this show (not even the new guy!). If there’s a ridiculous script or ad to be read, guess who gets volunteered? That’s right – Cody’s your man, and he’s learned to lean into the joke every time. As the cast settled into Rem, Randy, and Cody, the content of the show hit its stride. The Rich Dickman Show transformed into a variety show of hilarity, introducing segment after segment of pure comedic gold. A typical episode can feel like an eclectic carnival: one minute you’re getting genuine life advice, and the next you’re hearing an absurd hypothetical about launching babies from cannons. The boys even started formally naming their recurring bits, much to the delight of the “Dickman faithful.” Here are just a few of the fan-favorite segments that have become hallmarks of the show’s evolution: “Thinking With Your Dickman” – Ever wish you had a panel of unfiltered friends to consult on life’s bizarre questions? This segment is exactly that. The hosts dive into listener questions and dilemmas, dishing out advice with a hearty dose of sarcasm and heart. The wisdom flows freely as the guys tackle everything from techy troubles to fashion fails. One week they might seriously debate the ethics of an AI butler with an attitude problem, and the next they’re helping a listener decide whether it’s okay to wear comfy Prada shoes with a Gucci handbag. It’s equal parts thought-provoking and side-splitting, often ending with Rem bewildered at how these discussions veer off-road. (Global egg prices vs. handbag fashion – why not both?) “Cody Reads Copy” – When Cody joined, Rem and Randy quickly discovered his secret talent: reading advertisements in a voice so earnest you’d think he was auditioning for primetime. Naturally, they decided to have some fun with it. In this bit, poor Cody gets tricked or dared into reading outrageous ad copy on air – usually without any prior warning. Whether it’s a fake promo for Randy’s questionable Airbnb or a scathing mock review of McDonald’s latest “McFlation Meal” (dry fries and all), Cody delivers it with golden-throated conviction. The results? Comedy magic, especially when Cody realizes mid-read that he’s been had. (If you ever hear him suddenly break and yell “Really, guys?!” you know the script was a doozy.) “Cody Reads Copy” started as a prank, but it’s now a beloved staple – listeners love waiting to hear what ridiculous script lands in Cody’s hands next. “Dickman Dilemmas” – Moral choices, Rich Dickman style. This segment throws the hosts into outrageous hypothetical scenarios and asks: What would you do? Of course, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill dilemmas – they’re more like wacky Twilight Zone experiments. The hosts have agonized (and laughed) over questions like: Would you survive life with an immortal, ever-growing hamster? Or would you take $5 million to shoot a baby out of a cannon (into a net, safely… probably)?. Nothing is too absurd. One infamous dilemma forced Rem to choose between uttering the most forbidden word on live TV or saving an entire city from doom – yikes! (His solution still has the fanbase divided, by the way.) What makes “Dickman Dilemmas” shine is the crew’s chemistry in action: Rem might play the pragmatist (“Sorry, morals, but I choose the cash”), Cody will look for a loophole in the question, Randy will suggest an outlandish workaround (how about a baby parachute, anyone?), and Ray – if he’s around – will weigh in with that sly dad wisdom (usually right before taking the scenario off the rails). It’s a twisted test of ethics wrapped in humor, and it routinely leaves everyone crying with laughter (and occasionally questioning their own sanity). “What Would Jesus Draw?” – Just when you think the show can’t get more inventive, it throws divine AI art into the mix. What Would Jesus Draw? is the brainchild of the Rich Dickman crew’s collective madness and their embrace of modern tech. In this segment – sponsored by the holiest (and most hilariously irreverent) art gallery on the web, WhatWouldJesusDraw.com – the hosts unleash an AI to create artwork featuring Jesus Christ in the most bizarre situations. Think biblical figure meets meme culture: Jesus brokering a peace deal between historical figures? Done. Jesus on a fishing trip or at Mardi Gras? Absolutely. The prompts are as wild as the imaginations of Rem, Randy, Cody, and Ray. Each host pitches a scenario and the AI tries to make it a (digital) reality – often with comically weird results. (We’ve gotten Jesus mixing it up with everyone from Abe Lincoln to Genghis Khan on the Great Wall – you truly never know what’s coming.) The segment usually ends in a friendly competition over whose ridiculous Jesus art wins the day. And the best part: fans can actually see and own these masterpieces! The crew enthusiastically encourages listeners to check out the gallery and even purchase digital downloads of the images on WhatWouldJesusDraw.com (nothing says “devout” like Jesus wielding a lightsaber on your living room wall, right?). This segment embodies what the Rich Dickman Show is all about – pushing boundaries with a grin, blending tech, creativity, and comedy in a way no one else does. Of course, these are just a few of the regular antics. Over the years, the show has also featured the weekly “Dick of the Week” award (pointing fingers at the world’s biggest jerk with zero mercy), spontaneous games like “Celebrity Dick Match” (ever argue who’d win in a fight: Danny DeVito or MrBeast? They have) and even invented new “Laws of Power” for personal gain. The content evolves with the times – and sometimes ahead of them. In fact, The Rich Dickman Show has fully embraced the 21st century’s quirks: they’ve integrated A.I. and modern tech into their shenanigans whenever possible. Whether it’s using AI chatbots, known as “interns”, as tools to brainstorm insane scenarios or turning the latest internet craze into a talking point, the show stays fresh and unpredictably current. (As one episode description put it, the guys now incorporate “cutting-edge technology into [their] content” – which is a fancy way of saying they’ll happily let a computer blow their minds on air). This blend of classic buddy-talk and futuristic twists keeps both long-time listeners and new fans on their toes. You might tune in for the nostalgia of the banter, but you’ll stick around to see what crazy idea they try next – a recipe generator for cocktails named after show memes? AI-generated fan fiction of Randy’s life? Nothing’s off the table. What truly sets The Rich Dickman Show apart is the chemistry and camaraderie between its hosts. It’s the secret sauce that turns even the most random topics into comedic gold. Rem, the ringleader, brings quick wit and a propensity for telling it like it is – especially when it comes to ribbing Randy. He’s the guy who will sarcastically announce a “promotion watch” for Randy then cut him down to size with a one-liner (all out of love… we think). Randy, the lovable wildcard, is the beating heart of the show – one minute he’s pitching a crazy scheme or laughing at his own follies, and the next he’s the butt of the joke when a bit goes sideways. (If something catches on fire or glitches out, you can bet Rem will immediately quip, “This has Randy written all over it.”) Cody, the new blood turned brother-in-arms, often plays the middleman – sometimes he’s instigating chaos with a cheeky comment, other times he’s throwing up his hands saying “I just read what you give me, guys!” after an especially outrageous “Reads Copy” stunt. His dry humor and surprising stories (ask him about his oddly demanding elderly neighbor sometime) add a unique flavor to the mix. And then there’s Ray – the prodigal co-host who’s been in and out like a sitcom neighbor. When Ray’s on the mic, he slides in with a mellow tone and sly grin, ready to drop a zinger or share a too-crazy-to-be-false story from his own life. Ray’s the guy who might casually mention he has a 0 handicap in gold or update us on his dog-walking routine and insurance sagas, leaving the others in stitches. Together, this foursome creates a dynamic that’s equal parts chaos and warmth. You can tell these guys are genuine friends because no one else could get away with roasting each other so hard and still share a toke (or three) after the show. The inside jokes and running gags that have developed are a treasure trove for the devoted audience – the “Richlings,” as the most passionate fans proudly call themselves. Longtime listeners cackle when they hear phrases like “eating stickers” or “boosted and seated,” knowing exactly which past episode spawned it. Rem’s perpetual exasperation with Randy’s antics has become a show tradition – if Randy even sneezes wrong, you’ll hear Rem’s dramatic sigh of disapproval (a signal for everyone else to grin, knowing a classic Rem-Randy rant is coming). There’s also the ongoing mockery of Rem’s own habits; despite being the bossman, he’s earned the nickname “Tardy Rem” after more than a few late arrivals and tech hiccups. And we can’t forget the playful sponsor spoofs – like the time they pretended to have Applebee’s backing a totally fake “Dickman Eating Challenge,” or when every weird new segment is jokingly “brought to you by Randy’s failing internet connection.” These in-jokes make the podcast feel like an exclusive club – but don’t worry, new listeners aren’t left out for long. The hosts do a stellar job of bringing everyone up to speed with a wink and a nod, so you’ll be laughing along and feeling like part of the gang in no time. Major milestones? Oh, there’ve been plenty. The show celebrated Episode 50 with the same gusto as Episode 250 – each a testament to their commitment to fun. Reaching the 100th episode was a big deal (cue the sentimental montage… that quickly devolved into jokes about how they haven’t been cancelled yet). By Episode 200, the podcast had truly built its own universe of characters and callbacks, so the crew marked the occasion with an over-the-top special (and perhaps an over-the-top amount of whiskey on Rem’s part). They’ve experimented with live streams, welcomed a parade of special guests – from fellow podcasters to that one guy known only as “Steven Dickman” who became a minor celebrity in their circles and even spawned a spinoff project (hello, WhatWouldJesusDraw.com!). One of the most heartwarming turning points was when Randy, a fluffy boy, injected Wegovy live on the show. It ground baking podcast goodness – equal parts roasting and supportive– and fans old and new absolutely ate it up. Moments like these highlight the show’s journey: it’s not just a podcast; it’s an ongoing story with evolving chapters and characters who grow (and occasionally literally leave the country!). And if you ask the superfans, they’ll tell you some of the best episodes are the ones where chaos reigns: the infamous “Audio Sync Disaster” episode, or the time an AI chatbot was accidentally let loose on their Twitter mid-show, or the many holiday specials where the eggnog flowed, and the conversations got extra spicy. Now, here we are, nearly 300 episodes in and still going strong. The Rich Dickman Show has come a long way from that first recording in 2018. It’s a show that’s grown and reinvented itself while keeping the core vibe intact – a bunch of friends taking on the world’s craziness one week at a time, armed with jokes, honesty, and absolutely zero filter. They’ve proven that no matter the challenge – be it losing a co-host to “terrorists” or figuring out how to make AI Jesus ride a dinosaur – they’ll face it with a laugh and keep the good times rolling. So, whether you’re a day-one listener who can recite the Dick of the Week theme song from memory, or you’re a curious newcomer wondering what the heck a Dickman even is, welcome to the party! The Rich Dickman Show’s story is still being written, and you’re invited to join in the fun. Kick back with Rem, Ray, Cody, and Randy as they share their lives, roast each other mercilessly, answer your wild questions, and push the boundaries of podcasting into bold, silly new places. It’s all the best parts of hanging out with your funniest friends, plus a dash of shock value and a pinch of heart. In the end, the goal is simple: make you laugh, make you think, and leave you eagerly waiting for what’s next – because with this crew, the next chapter is always the most outrageous one yet. Stay rich, Dickman fans! The adventure continues… and we’re so glad you’re along for the ride. Cheers!
