No majority. No chill. And definitely no evidence of a "corrupt bargain.” In this fact-loaded and fire-starting Season 1 finale, Kyle and Eric break down the 1824 presidential election—where Andrew Jackson lost, cried foul, and stomped back to his slave plantation while John Quincy Adams calmly walked into the White House with the receipts.

We’ve got:

🔥Jackson throwing a historic hissy fit
🔥Henry Clay being classier than everyone
🔥JQA flexing a resume that shames your LinkedIn
🔥Populist chaos, press drama, and congressional side-eyes

Seriously—who knew 1824 would read like a messy group chat with powdered wigs?

🎧 If you love U.S. history, political takedowns, myth-busting, and two very opinionated hosts calling out 19th-century nonsense in real time, this one’s for you.
