#2022DD Thanks so much for the extra effort guys you’re the reason I just subscribed to my first ever Patreon can’t get enough of you please have a safe and happy new year and see you in 2023!

Do not. Do not get a permanent 3rd chair. No disrespect to sacred symbols because I know a lot of people enjoy it, but when they added the third chair it got just so bloated. Y’all have good chemistry. Y’all keep your episodes tight. Keep being y’all! You’re doing great.

longtime listener of matty in particular, follower of Last Stand for (I think) about 2-3 years now. Please Please Please guys just keep doing what ur doing. I would hate for one of you to "pretend to be in favor" of blocking the deal just because some people "dont want you guys to agree." just keep being honest with your opinions. sony's arguments against the deal have been laughable at best (citing Hoeg's materials here too not just my opinion). I don't expect either of you to "pretend" to see logic there when there isn't any.

I found you guys after being incredibly bored with the Kinda funny XCast. DD is exactly what I wanted and I look forward to the shows every week. Keep it up Dukes.

Love my Dukes. Next time you're in the shower pondering the haters, just rub some body wash in your eyes - that will take your mind right off it <3

Just want to say Dukes, I’ve never owned a Xbox console, but I’ve begun listening every week because I loved hearing your opinions on the industry during the crossover episodes with Sacred Symbols. I think your discussions are full of nuance and are not a lovefest or displays of fanboyism, otherwise I wouldn’t be tuning in.

#2022DD - see y'all next year, hope it's a good one. January already looks like it'll make for a splendid start

I don't think there is an issue of there not being enough pushback. I remember this came up on SS a while back, and the point was made, you don't have to argue and bicker to make a podcast interesting, particularly if it is inauthentic. What I would say is I'd like to see a more of a devil's advocate mindset. You don't necessarily have to support the opposite view, but at least bringing it to the table is worthwhile. Often, it will actually reinforce the original point but show awareness of an opposing view, which I think the segment last week was lacking. Does that NEED a third chair to achieve? On reflection, probably not. But it might just naturally provide it. I have a small understanding on how difficult this is, I do a passion project podcast almost every week and can only imagine how much more noise and feedback you guys get every day. It is fair to call out the flybys, but I do think there is a segment of people just want this show to reach its full potential and therefore will let you know if they think its gone off the beaten track. I do my best to drop a comment in each of the show posts if I have enjoyed a particular episode or show. I know Colin reads it as he almost always replies, I hope you guys see that too and know this stuff comes from a good place.

Sure, some are. But I also want the criticism to be heard instead of people pretending actual criticism doesn't exist, which some of the people do in this comment section.

Lets be real here. A lot of the comments are fly bys though. You can tell by the nature of some of the comments.

I just wanted to say that not all of the comments are fly bys to push back on some previous commentors. I have listened to all 102 episodes and all DDU episodes and was put off by the last episode. I really hope 2023 gets us back to a time where we can discuss games and the Xbox ecosystem more. I am against consolidation in the industry in general, and when considering that is the position of a lot of us, you can imagine it isn't an enjoyable listen sometimes. Regardless, I don't want to just be negative. I love your energy Matty and consume all retro rebound content you do, and I love Cogs positivity in general. Have a great holiday season guys.

Tyler Kaminski

Fellas! Just had to respond to the whole "responding to fan feedback" topic. I think your attitude is correct on the inauthentic and "flyby" nature of any negativity that comes your way. Those comments usually stem from suckers that are obviously unkind and just act out and behave like fools. Safe to ignore. Keep doing your thing! No need to get extra surgical on random comments or snippets that may have triggered someone with poor emotional control. Honesty and authenticity is what your show is all about. Don't second guess yourself. And you guys will continue to grow especially next year once the games finally start coming out.

I enjoyed last week's episode, ABK deal got fanboys acting crazy 🤷‍♀️

2023 is going to be awesome for Xbox and the dukes ! Cheers, boys have a great holiday break!
