January 13, 2026 36: My Date Was Wearing a Diaper
This week on Chris vs. the People, things escalate fast. A caller cuts off her longtime best friend after she kicks her fiancé’s gunshot wound and then demands her cat back out of spite. Another shares how her brother’s wife secretly cheated on him for nearly a decade with her best friend, only to leave him, remarry, and still use his last name. And finally, one listener explains how being too nice led her to giving a stranger a ride home… only to discover he was wearing a diaper as a kink...and yes, there are photos. It’s messy, disturbing, and deeply unserious in the way only Chris vs. the People can be. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there! Stick around for the Patreon after show for even more wild stories.

January 06, 2026 35: My Ex Slept With His Sister
This week on Chris vs. the People, the new year starts off completely unhinged. A caller explains how her 18th birthday party ended in a literal shootout after a hotel party moved to a boxing gym, another shares how her 15th birthday was ruined by the January 6th insurrection (complete with her uncle showing up on live TV mid–Happy Birthday), and one listener drops a jaw-on-the-floor confession about discovering her ex slept with his own sister, ending with an even crazier twist to the story. It’s dark, chaotic, and somehow still funny… a truly deranged way to kick off the year. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there! Stick around for the Patreon after show for even more wild stories.

December 23, 2025 34: My First Date Turned Into a Crime Scene
This week on Chris vs. the People, Chris hears some of the most unhinged relationship stories yet. A caller shares a first date gone terrifyingly wrong when her date offers to show her crime scene photos of his murdered sister. Another explains why she cut off her online best friend after a shocking confession involving her brother and a racist spiral, and one listener reveals how a cousin’s sudden “girlfriend and pregnancy” turned out to be a full-blown scam. It’s disturbing, chaotic, and impossible to forget… basically, a classic Chris vs. the People episode. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

December 16, 2025 33: I Went Off on a MAGA Man
This week on Chris vs. the People, Chris opens the phone lines and asks listeners one question: what’s the worst thing you’ve ever called someone? The answers range from hilariously creative to deeply unhinged. Callers share everything from a brutal roadrage insult that ended with instant karma, to a devastatingly specific roast comparing someone to the original live-action Sonic the Hedgehog. Things take a darker turn with stories involving family blowups, being outed and disowned, and confronting a COVID-denying MAGA conspiracy theorist. To balance it all out, we also get the most unexpectedly wholesome insult of the episode… a mom in traffic snapping back. It’s chaotic, personal, and somehow comforting all at once aka a classic Chris vs. the People episode. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

December 09, 2025 32: My Ex Catfished Me Using My Phone Plan
This week on Chris vs. the People, Chris dives into a web of lies, chaos, and catfishing so elaborate it could be its own Netflix documentary. Every story this week centers on deception…and somehow, each one manages to outdo the last. First, a caller shares how her ex not only cheated, got married, and had a baby immediately after their breakup, but then catfished her for months for reasons of his own. Then, another listener reveals that she grew up believing a man was her dad... until middle school genetics homework exposed that literally her entire family had been lying to her. From fake boyfriends to family secrets and exes who should’ve gone to jail, this episode proves that truth really is stranger than fiction….especially when Chris tries to make sense of it all in real time.

December 02, 2025 31: The FBI Came to My House in 4th Grade
This week, Chris hears from a listener whose mysterious uncle lived a double life full of sugar babies and family chaos, another who had the FBI show up at her house at age twelve thanks to a wildly misbehaving Roblox boyfriend, and a final caller who woke up to flashing lights and officers surrounding her home in what felt like a movie scene. Law enforcement, family drama, childhood panic…it’s all here, and Chris is barely holding it together. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

November 25, 2025 30: Listeners Reveal Their Insane Secrets
For Episode 30, Chris decides to ditch the usual format and crack open the Chris vs. the People phone lines for something he’s always wanted to do: let strangers confess their deepest, juiciest secrets…completely unfiltered. First up, a listener admits she was secretly married AND divorced for over two years, all without her family having a clue. Then a wedding-industry worker reveals her pettiest hidden talent: crop-dusting rude brides and grooms on their big day. Yes. Weaponized wedding-day farts. And just when the chaos seems to peak, a school bus driver calls in mid-route to confess that her best friend has been stuck in a six-year relationship with a man who… isn’t exactly putting in Olympic-level effort in the bedroom. Between the secrets, the life coaching, and the near-fights between bus drivers happening in the background, this is easily one of the most chaotic, hilarious, and unfiltered episodes yet. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there! Stick around for the Patreon after show for even more wild stories. Catch the after show on https://patreon.com/ChrisKlemens.

November 18, 2025 29: I Was Involved With Ted Bundy
Fresh off a flight and running on fumes, Chris still refuses to miss a week, and thank god, because this episode is juicier than a fresh BBL. First, a caller takes us to Portugal for what was supposed to be a dreamy couples’ kayaking trip… until €1 shots, a rocky ocean, and a seasick boyfriend turn the excursion into a full-blown puke parade. Then, we head to the Maryland/West Virginia border for a Christmas night that spirals from strip-club friendships to Waffle House chaos, complete with jukebox twerking, past bathroom feuds, and a staff on their absolute last nerve. And just when you think that’s enough chaos for one episode, we end with someone whose life intersected with Mr. Bundy. Yes…Ted Bundy. It’s messy, it’s unhinged, it’s festive…it’s a typical episode of Chris vs. the People. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there! Stick around for the Patreon after show for even more wild stories.

November 11, 2025 28: My Mom Accidentally Roofied Me
In this chaotic rollercoaster of an episode, Chris dives headfirst into stories that are equal parts horrifying, hilarious, and completely unhinged. We kick things off with a caller whose peeping tom encounter turns into a full-blown true-crime story, complete with cigarette smoke, useless boyfriends, and trauma realizations mid-conversation. Then, things somehow get wilder when another listener reveals how their own mom accidentally roofied them with smuggled painkillers from Mexico (yes, really). From there, the family drama only intensifies when Chris talks to someone whose dad married their mom’s sister… a family feud straight out of a West Virginia soap opera. Between emotional breakdowns, opioid overdoses, and accidental incestuous family trees, Chris somehow keeps it together long enough to laugh through the madness. If you thought last week’s sagas were wild, this one ups the ante with blood, betrayal, and a foursome involving a knife.

November 04, 2025 27: College Threesome Gone Wrong
This week’s episode of Chris vs. the People is one for the books. From a first date that went horribly (and hilariously) wrong to a college night that spiraled into pure chaos, this week’s calls are some of the wildest yet. Chris talks to listeners about bad timing, worse decisions, and those moments that start out innocent and end with the phrase “how did we get here?” One caller relives a date that took a very sudden turn in the parking lot. Another opens up about a “harmless” college night that turned into a tangled web of drama. We even hear from someone who may have delivered one of the most savage insults ever said to a parent and a listener who just needs advice on whether a friendship is worth saving. It’s funny, it’s messy, and somehow still heartfelt, the perfect mix of cringe and comfort that makes Chris vs. the People what it is.
