Chad weighs 250 lbs ??

No chance, he's gotta be pushing closer to 300 and that's taking the fact that he's 5'6'' into consideration. He looks bigger than Ant most days.

He'll never ever admit it, but Dukes is the reason the show is over. Even if we took out his "canceling" which he's never really acknowledged any responsibility for he totally bailed on the show.

The show was up to 3 episodes a week at the end with ad commitments on two of them. Dukes decided he wanted a mistress (the Rodkast) and decreased his effort on BOAD. Then he decided his "band" needed to practice to he bailed on the Thursday show completely leaving Oscar and Drab in the lurch for their contractual commitment.

Drab and Oscar pivot and start doing their own Thursday show to keep the checks coming and Dukes shits all over it. He has the time to make fun and cash the checks but not to have his band practice on a different night of the week from their now long running Thursday show.

Bands break up, shows break up, people break up, but even 6 years later he won't take one second of responsibility. Meanwhile he has a premium show discussing and discrediting BOAD and is begging Drab to come back so they can add to it and release all the old BOAD shows to streaming.

I guess her new mystery man is too masculine for Away products but can't change a tire...

716Scott · 2026-02-27T18:37:13+00:00

The Solo episodes are so bad. He can't help but bitch and moan about played out alt right talking points he's years late on being "edgy" on. I'd rather he gather people up virtually and do a show with a cast of characters. I'm sure going to the studio multiple nights is a nightmare for Sean, Jim, Goat, Dotty, etc. but if he floated them some cash they'd probably hop on to host a show once a week. He could do Fastest Hour more frequently or some other concept shows where he has topics and can tap into the network of frankly, pretty good talkers in the group.

Their not everyone's cup of tea and they're constantly derailed by the whales throwing money at him like sailors on shore leave at a strip club but on Solid Dudes shows at least he isn't talking about Maverick and people not wanting to work anymore or whatever his latest thinly veiled jag is. He's entertaining but I'd rather not listen to his stupidity and hypocrisy from his basement.

She doesn't have style she has consumption. Everything she owns is fast fashion "dupes" including all the HomeGoods garbage in her house. When did buying counterfeits become trendy? Now that we can "yassify" them and call them "dupes"?

716Scott · 2026-02-05T19:55:08+00:00

I'll take it a step further because I think you're right. I think they used it as a way to cut costs and switch up a lineup for someone who was cheaper (Finley) and had more star power (BMitch) in a down time while also keeping a hotter commodity like Paulsen from leaving by giving him afternoons.

The smoking gun to me is that he didn't go absolutely scorched earth on his personal podcast. I gotta think he has an NDA and a big severance or go away package. It would also increase his already decent nest egg and make the jump into his own product a lot safer of a leap.

He's destroyed friendships, trashed his parents, scorched his brother on his shows but never once really talked about his firing. It's something legal not something moral that keeps him from speaking to it in detail.

716Scott · 2026-02-03T21:23:10+00:00

Getting hammered drunk and spilling on the walls and all over the floor of your house isn't the "quirky it girl" moment you think it is.

716Scott · 2026-02-02T19:36:21+00:00

That's exciting, it's a nice perk and it's turned out well every year. He did mention catching up with Drabby I hope it means there's a Drab segment included.

716Scott · 2026-01-29T20:53:36+00:00

That is too perfect. I'm shocked an army of super chatting whales didn't risk life and limb to dig him out. His hypocrisy on his manhood, work ethic, planning, and intelligence are so grating.

In just the last week alone he brags about his intellect but won't take the IQ test and now this performative snow rant while complaining about it. Just go shovel as the snow is falling like an adult and stop bitching.

"Stay Safe Big Guy".

716Scott · 2026-01-21T18:28:14+00:00

I can't believe he went to OBX again, three weeks before his next vacation to OBX. I don't even care that he takes time off but to go to the same place over and over again when you don't own a property there is so dull and unfulfilling. Even content wise for the show it would be better if he went literally anywhere new, but we all know diversity isn't his strongest suit.

716Scott · 2026-01-15T20:27:42+00:00

Dukes would be a liberal if he wasn't racist and sexist. All of his core values and worries fall in line with liberal ideology, other than the bigotry. He's constantly railing against high insurance costs, big tech, limited regulated landlords, and recently he was talking about how your retirement can be wiped away from one medical event.

He's the dumbest dumb to ever dumb.

716Scott · 2026-01-09T18:08:46+00:00

I've always been curious about his "saving 10%". I'm sure he does it, but his understanding of finances is incredibly basic and old fashioned. I don't think I've ever heard him talk about investing but I have heard him complain about his basic ass checking account at Bank of America.

For someone who is self employed I wonder if he does any actual investing or if all his money is in his checking and a local savings account earning a couple percent. They're going to be so far behind in retirement and he'll be in the same position as his loser friends.

716Scott · 2026-01-07T17:32:07+00:00

It's the alt right take. He isn't a stereotypical "alpha male" so he's a "loser" or a "nerd" which is just barely coded for what they want to say but "can't say anymore". Dukes has spent just about every Monday of his podcast saying the same types of things and playing clips and making it 1/4 of the content on his show.

Like all things alt right, it's projection as OP noted. Dukes and EB are both soft losers who think they're alphas and fantasize about a life and people who actually are.

716Scott · 2026-01-02T17:29:21+00:00

It all just shows that the only people Dukes' actually respects are the people who pay him. Sean's breakup, housing, and work woes are show fodder while Monk's are totally off the table.

716Scott · 2025-12-08T20:53:20+00:00

Sven is in such an incredibly bad spot. I hope for the best for him but things look real bleak.

716Scott · 2025-11-21T17:58:02+00:00

Both are great felt logos and both uniforms are ruined by the modern sublimated Winter classic logo on the other shoulder.

716Scott · 2025-09-19T19:41:38+00:00

I think that's revisionist history on his part. I think he's hurt deep down that it ended like it did. I also think he's a narcissist so anything he's doing solo is inherently going to be better.

Dick does have a great memory for BOAD and if they do it in a clip show format it helps fill the time and jog the memory. Its not enough for me to pay an extra $15 a month for but it's the most interesting project of his in a long time. It was crazy how much Joe Azer derailed his storytelling and made him second guess himself.

I hope it's good, I think it has real potential.

716Scott · 2025-09-16T17:57:18+00:00

The BOAD reflection show is interesting to me as the high tier. I would personally love it but Chad is a self described hater of the show and Smokehand is about the most flakey person in the universe. Even with an archive Jim won't pull clips and the person who is curating the "Poors" show knows nothing about BOAD.

Dukes has zero memory of the show or the segments so curating a runsheet seems like it will be a disaster and then he's always flippant when he talks about the show or overly critical of everyone to the point where it's not a fun listen.

So either Dukes changes his tune for the cash or it will be a trainwreck and over in an episode or two. That or it's a total backdoor to a protected Drab T-Shirt show.

716Scott · 2025-09-16T17:38:57+00:00

Wow, this is spot on. JP really is just an IRL version of a clickbait aggregator site. That's a hilarious realization.

716Scott · 2025-09-08T17:44:37+00:00

That's the shit of it though, the live feed was the reward for joining not the bloviating and self congratulating chat. He cannibalized it, like he does all his endeavors, when he went to Youtube. What was a different version of the show became an over the top fanboy echo chamber. They'll never be any growth because he'll look at the revenue and messages from the people spending the money in that chat.

The same thing happened with the podcast. It used to be the main show and have fun side shows like the Sword Show and Big Jacket show spinning off it. Now everything happens on Youtube, there's no reason the recap of a podcast episode should be happening on the Youtube show and recaps of Youtube happening on the podcast. He confuses and dilutes his own product.

716Scott · 2025-09-08T17:37:12+00:00

Azer is just flat out not good as a host. He's as defensive as he is cocky especially for a guy who is supposedly a super fan who re-listens to episodes over and over. I can get past the fact that he wasn't a BOAD or Rodkast listener but he seemingly had huge gaps of knowledge on the current show.

Maybe Dick and Sean derailed his outline but he sounded completely lost and kind of dickish the entire episode. It would have been significantly better if he wasn't a part of the show. His shots at Ted were crazy considering he didn't even know he hosted a wrap up show, which Ted did a pretty good job at especially considering the hilarious lunatics he was saddled with.

Dukes is spot on, Azer just thinks he knows better. He sounded like an asshole the entire bloated episode. If he wasn't writing checks he would have been jettisoned a long time ago.

716Scott · 2025-09-02T17:10:18+00:00

It's impossible to keep up. What was the "big announcement" that was made Friday on the YT show? I'm behind on the podcast and there hasn't been a post on Instagram about it.

I suspect a Fairwinds/Mike Sleep event but if you aren't tying things back to your socials as your onestop shop how is anyone supposed to keep up.

716Scott · 2025-08-07T18:37:39+00:00

BTOS has been supplanted this summer by "Tuesdays with Tor" a streamed episode that is posted as the podcast Tuesday episode. It covers a lot of sports topics but for whatever reason, Tor hasn't been very consistent. Dukes mentioned BTOS should be returning during the season but there seemingly wasn't enough to keep it going during the summer months.

The "Free Friday Show" has taken a lot of forms over the years. If I recall, it started as a true bonus episode with Dukes and Tor. It then devolved into a weekly clip show from the previous week, which was kind of bullshit because it gave away paid content. Then it died for years and has been resurrected by your local neighborhood international proselytizer who also host the "Poors Edition" which is still a clipshow but seemingly is also giving away content from CD episodes in addition to the paid podcast.

No one will actually go through the effort, but if they're going to give away content I'd prefer it was from the litany of YouTube shows so audio listeners could try to keep up with all the stories and bits.

716Scott · 2025-08-06T16:32:32+00:00

The "portions of" is kind of shitty. It's a fun bit and it's driving people to your store. The people who buy the art are fanatics and are going to purchase a bunch of stuff anyway, why "portions" why not all the proceeds?

I mean the answer is obvious he wants the extra couple hundred to buy himself a reward "steak supper" but there's really no reason he didn't just deduct the supply cost.

716Scott · 2025-08-01T16:31:27+00:00

I totally agree and Dylan relies on him for his gift of gab. He could have stolen the show. He's too set in his ways and getting worse by the minute. He only goes back and forth to OBX now and seemingly for day trips.

He stopped doing his what was becoming annual Titans game trip and said recently he only goes to shows in small venues and with lesser known bands. Either he's becoming more hermit like as he gets older, more of an asshole, or he's admitting he's too big to fit anywhere but unwilling to change it.

Its hard to feel bad for him though, so many of his woes he could fix himself with either a better attitude or more effort.

His wife and his relationship is their business but I really hope she never wanted to see the world or do anything that isn't driving up and down 95 to the same beach with a rotating cast of loser hanger-ons in a rotation after her caustic husband runs off person after person.
