As of 2020, Maddox regularly streams on Twitch, playing as characters "Bananadox," a talking banana, and "Cowboy Ox-Mad", an exaggerated cowboy figure. Podcast and lawsuit In 2014, Maddox co-created a weekly podcast titled The Biggest Problem in the Universe with Dax Herrera, (better known as "Dick Masterson"). The format of the show rotated between each co-host discussing a problem and soliciting votes from the audience. The podcast had its final episode on May 31, 2016. This led to Maddox creating a new podcast network called Madcast Media. The pilot program, The Best Debate in the Universe features debates where Maddox argues both sides of an issue. In November 2017, Maddox filed a $372 million harassment lawsuit with the New York Supreme Court against Masterson, individuals at Patreon, and Weber Shandwick copywriter Asterios Kokkinos who made guest appearances on The Biggest Problem in the Universe and The Dick Show''. Maddox and his girlfriend, not named in the suit, allege that the defendants launched a trolling campaign against them which resulted in death threats, rape threats, racial slurs and the loss of sponsorship. They cited an album by Kokkinos and a billboard contest by Masterson, which both attempted to mock Maddox, along with targeted ads on Facebook and Reddit. A representative for Shandwick stated their plans to contest the lawsuit's claims, and Masterson rejected the allegations. On May 16, 2018, Judge Charles Ramos dismissed the claims against all defendants arguing that those against Masterson should have been filed in the jurisdiction of California. Of the claims against Asterios Kokkinos, Ramos expressed frustration as to the poor drafting of the complaint and its lack of specific evidence, saying, "this complaint is such a mess that I can't address these issues because I can't specifically point to what's being alleged as against your client or your client." Ramos dismissed the claims against Weber Shandwick with prejudice stating that they were named in the suit "just because someone used their equipment".
