Vito,.you would be an absolutely idiot to not take the 25% deal
There is a 0% chance that you launch a new podcast that would have nearly as many patrons or eyes as you have now. Unfortunately for you, you were too fat, lazy and attracted to children to launch something in the last year where the writing was on the wall regarding biggest problem, so instead of having a reliable show to promote to your audience, you now have to scramble to get something going.
Go ahead buddy, go make "le largest issue in the multiverse" or whatever and get a patreon started. You probably won't make even $1000 a month. Take the deal, give podawful the first guest co-host part to stick it to Dick and then use a revolving door of guest co-hosts whom you pay per episode and keep it going until you can siphon enough guys on to another show, like you should have been doing this whole last year.
Of course you're too stupid, proud and lazy to actually do this so you'll just reboot corn boys and then wonder why you lost 95% of your viewers. If you were as smart and talented as you think you are, you'd listen to this.
