[6] Bois worked at RadioShack sometime in the early to mid 2000s, later publishing multiple articles detailing his personal experiences as an employee.
[7][8][9] Bois started blogging in 2003 on the website ProgressiveBoink.com, which he co-founded along with a group of other writers,[10] and first rose to online prominence co-writing the baseball-themed webcomic The Dugout with Brandon Stroud and Nick Dallamora.
[17] These episodes have covered, among other things, the movie Independence Day, the football career of Kadarius Toney, and the history of people slipping on banana peels.
In 2016, Bois began another documentary video series called "Chart Party," in which he used statistical analysis to explore and understand sports stories.
[18] The video led one viewer to create a website to track new scorigami instances, and the term has seen usage in other sports publications.
[19][20][21] The series has also discussed topics such as the saddest punt in the world, how Barry Bonds’ 2004 season would have looked like if he had played without a bat, the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, and the career of Jeff Francoeur, who Bois describes as his “favorite worst baseball player”.
[22] In July 2017, Bois published a serialized multimedia narrative called 17776, a work of speculative fiction describing unusual forms of American football played in the distant future.
In 2020, Bois and Rubenstein released a 6-part special mini-series of Dorktown chronicling the history of the Seattle Mariners baseball franchise.
[3] In August and September 2023, Bois and Rubenstein released a 7-part documentary on the history of the NFL's Minnesota Vikings,[36][37] similar to the prior series on the Mariners and Falcons.
On December 29, 2020, a supercut edition of Fighting in the Age of Loneliness was released to YouTube to commemorate the Secret Base channel accumulating 1 million subscribers.
[43] Similar to Bois's earlier "Breaking Madden", it consists of using in-game mechanics of sports video games to create unusual scenarios, usually with fan input.
[44][45] Bois has a very distinctive audiovisual style, heavily utilizing Google Earth as a medium in which to place various visuals, making heavy use of newspaper articles, charts, and timelines to create a collage that builds over the runtime of a video.
