    I Hooked Up in My Teacher's Car During Class

    This week on Chris vs. the People, we're throwing it back to school days that prove everyone was absolutely unwell. First, a caller shares how she was held at harpoon point by a classmate whose bedroom walls were covered in red handprints. Then, we hear from someone who hooked up with a guy in their science teacher's car….while the guy was allegedly also hooking up with said teacher. Finally, we meet the chaos agent who got her librarian "retired" by teaching her to sashay down the hallway (resulting in broken bones) and got her Spanish teacher fired by lying to her parents about what actually happened. Plus, Chris shares his own trauma about getting cast as a gay dad in his high school musical and the time he hid a rotting peach in his desk that attracted an army of fruit flies. It's teenage disasters, questionable decisions, and proof that we were all way too young to be doing any of this. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

    My Brother Set the Cross on Fire During Church...

    This week on Chris vs. the People, we’re diving into church and religious stories that prove Sunday service is never as quiet as it looks. First, a caller shares how her 10‑year‑old brother, acting as an altar server, nearly set the church on fire thanks to a giant paper‑mâché Easter decoration. Then, another caller walks us through her Pentecostal upbringing, her childhood crushes on two church brothers named Paul and Matt, and the full‑circle moment when one of them slid into her DMs years later… but with a classic Chris vs. the People twist. Finally, we hear about a sister‑in‑law who fast‑tracked from Facebook hookup to marriage, baby, intense Christianity, and full on “I can hear God” delusion, all while judging monks who are literally walking for peace. It’s religious guilt, pettiness, repression, and rage‑bait texting, all wrapped in one chaotic, cathartic episode. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

    I Caught My Ex Cheating...on Reddit

    This week on Chris vs. the People, we’re diving headfirst into the world of cheating because apparently, no one knows how to act right. First, a caller is currently tangled up in an office situationship with a married coworker who’s got a wife, kids, and a very questionable cage situation. Then, we meet someone whose cousin slept with their uncle’s girlfriend…and got a little surprise for his trouble. Another caller catches her ex cheating by literally finding his Reddit search history asking if it’s wrong to leave someone for someone “hotter.” And finally, we wrap up with a family saga about two sisters: one takes the other in off the street, and the other repays her by sleeping with her husband. It’s messy, hilarious, and painfully on‑brand for the theme of cheating. Honestly, humanity might be doomed… but at least it’s entertaining. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

    My Bumble Date Tried Kidnapping Me

    It’s the Valentine’s episode of Chris vs. the People, which obviously means love, disaster, and several reasons to stay single. One caller gets stuck on a “double date” from hell that turns into a three‑month saga with a guy who shows wild videos and yells at paintings. Another barely escapes a Bumble date who tries to take her to a remote “family cabin” straight out of Dateline. Then, someone loses her straight‑sex virginity to a man who immediately vomits, and a final caller reveals a truly bizarre run‑in with a masked A‑list celebrity. Dating is terrifying, hilarious, and somehow still legal. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there! Stick around for the Patreon after show for even more wild stories.

    My Date Did Drugs with Prince

    This week on Chris vs. the People, Chris kicks things off with a dose of cold medicine and chaos as callers bring some truly wild stories. First up, a listener exposes her dad’s jaw-dropping affair with his much younger employee…and the family drama that followed. Then, we head to remote Alaska for a threesome gone wrong involving coworkers, a tech bro, and a van-lifer with emotional baggage. Finally, we wrap things up with possibly the worst first date ever, which consists of a man who’s rude to waitresses, shows off unsolicited “pics,” and claims he did coke with Prince. It’s unhinged, hilarious, and a little too real. Just another day at Chris Versus the People. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

    I Catfished My Middle School Bully

    This week on Chris vs. the People, Chris opens the phone lines for secrets and tea… and immediately regrets asking. One caller shares how her ex–best friend accused her of being an unfit mother and threatened CPS only for that same friend’s toddler to later wander outside alone in the snow. Another listener admits to catfishing her middle school bullies just to figure out why they hated her (honestly? valid). And things take a dark turn when a caller reveals that someone who once shamed her online for starting a GoFundMe for her sick dog was later exposed for k*lling their own dog and now trains other people’s pets. It’s petty, disturbing, and deeply chaotic… exactly the kind of episode that makes Chris vs. the People what it is. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

    I Dug Up My Grandfather’s Grave

    This week on Chris vs. the People, things get weird in every possible direction. A caller admits to sexting her married boss for months while also hooking up with a coworker at the same job, another shares the surprisingly normal-in-her-culture story of digging up her grandfather’s bones as part of a traditional second burial, and one listener realizes her college boyfriend, who loved “being a bottom”, was very much closeted and active on Grindr behind her back. It’s messy, shocking, oddly educational, and somehow heartfelt…a classic Chris vs. the People episode where nothing goes the way you expect. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!
