I feel the need to leave 2014 on a silly note and poke some fun at myself at the same time. The BSOTS GONE (buck)WILD shows always provide a chance for me to inject some humor back into the podcast. This show unearths some footage from a BSOTS spinoff called *endless shouting matches with yourself*. It ran for 16 episodes (July 2006 - March 2008) and had an "anything goes" type of format. My rants took center stage while the music added some sonic relief. The truth is that *endless shouting matches* laid the foundation for the "buckwild" experience to exist within the BSOTS channel.
The spoken word piece that appears before the opening credits is one that I wrote back in January of 2000. I first recorded it for episode #2 of *endless shouting matches*. A re-recorded version appears on a previous "buckwild" episode (show #86, to be precise). I had fun listening back to some of this footage and hopefully, you will as well. But seeing as how this episode was recorded between a pair of non-indictments for police officers, the audio that opens the show places Eric Garner's demise into proper context regarding American history with a little help from Melissa Harris-Perry.
