The Rich Dickman Show 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:
