the bill of rights
From teen diplomat to exhausted president to the “Madman from Massachusetts” in Congress, John Quincy Adams made his entire life a protest against slavery and corruption. He believed public service was a duty—not a grift—and proved it by outworking, outthinking, and outlasting everyone around him. He wasn’t here to charm you. He was here to do the damn work.
Now it's your turn. Stand up. Speak out. Do the work that matters. Tune in now!
buck wild
The Buck Wild Playlist is the rowdy, no-filter bonus corner of The Buck Starts Here where hosts Kyle and Eric ditch the measured analysis for pure, unhinged chaos.
This is presidential history turned up to eleven: savage roasts, brutal scoring systems, wild tangents, and zero-holds-barred takes on America's most forgettable, frustrating, and flat-out bonkers commanders-in-chief. From epic policy fails and personal disasters to the biggest historical cop-outs (looking at you, "states' rights"), Buck Wild episodes crank the humor, crank the side-eye, and deliver the kind of raw, laugh-out-loud commentary that makes even the dullest antebellum drama feel like a roast battle.
Think of it as the after-hours edition—where the economist's spreadsheets get thrown out, the history nerd goes feral, and every president gets judged without mercy or myth-making. Perfect for fans who love the main feed's sharp insights but crave the extra layer of irreverent, high-energy madness.
Part of the The Buck Starts Here family from China Shop Productions, Buck Wild drops sporadically as bonus mayhem. Hit play if you're ready for presidential history served straight-up savage, hilarious, and buck wild.
