I got attacked by a skunk Sep 06, 2023

Chris is coming off a very... weird week, and talks about the future of Christory. Plus, a random Tom Colicchio story!

"The Brainstorm" Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

Chris hosts the first ever CHRISTORY Brainstorm, where we vet topics for future episodes. And then the first topic -- Son of Sam -- takes up most of the show. Chris, Carolin, and Nando get into that summer (Caroline lived through it and shares some of her experiences), before we switch gears to the brainstorming of Gary Hart, Clinton vs. Watergate, the Pepsi Army, money popping out of Pepsi cans, and more

Shoutout to Birddogs and Factor -- they're no longer technically sponsoring the show for this one, but they were cool enough to do a few earlier and we still love them.

"Christaurant" Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

Chris has opened up a pizzeria and the crushing hours are why we weren't able to record last week. But we're back with tales of cupped pepperoni, assigning points to garage sale buys, opening two boxes of ripoff "historical" cards, and more.

Big shoutout to BirdDogs.com for letting us skip a week and still sponsor this show. Go to birddogs.com/CHRISTORY for a free Yeti style tumbler with your order.

Who would you put on a second Mt Rushmore? Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

Who would you put on a second Mount Rushmore? We welcome Big Al Manzo to the show to help us sort out which U.S. historical figures are the "next four" to be immortalized in the side of a mountain (in either Syracuse, NY, or Paterson, NJ). We whittle a field of 30-ish finalists down -- and have some strong opinions along the way

"Books" aka That Sherlock Holmes curse episode we've been teasing for a month Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

We've been teasing it for a month — here it is: a super-sized Sherlock Holmes manuscript curse episode! Plus "tsundoku," female Ghostbusters, Chris gets a call mid-show and is very upset about it, does getting a publicist make you unable to act like a misanthropic hermit?, Is Hermione Granger divorced now?, did Nikki Haley ever say anything bad about the Manzos??!! and more.

And hey, if you like the show, give us a rating if you're into that sort of thing -- it helps it get noticed... somehow.

See you next week!

Orange skies, green men and red herrings Jun 08, 2023

Chris has a theory that ties in the Canadian wildfires, aliens, "six days of darkness" in 1966...and more. Orange skies and the small of campfires bring out the best in a man. We go back to 1966, 1953, and even the start of this podcast series in the latest CHRISTORY.
