The iTunes Feed

*"YOU DUMB. DUMB. BALD. FUCK. YOU FUCKING IDIOT. GO BACK TO UTAH."*

-Dick Masterson on episode 113 of *The Best Debate in the Universe*

With the dissolution of *The Biggest Problem in the Universe* on May 31st, 2016, the fate of the iTunes feed hosting the show was left uncertain. The show remained hosted on its Maddox-owned site but was taken down sometime in early 2018. Dick Masterson was made aware of this by his brother in-law, a fan of the show, who saw the site redirect to Maddox's site for *The Best Debate in the Universe*. Dick still had the Soundcloud feed and designed a new *BPU* site (with stark stylistic similarity to the original) where the show is available today. However, in the pending trademark battle over *BPU*, Dick was ordered by the court to provide download statistics for the iTunes feed in order to prove that *BPU*, though no longer in production, was still an active intellectual property. When Dick logged into the iTunes account associated with the feed he discovered that Maddox had used that account in order to create the *Best Debate*.

*"Oh my. What is this?"*

-Dick on *Dick Show* episode 117, recounting his discovery to Sean
