Chris Distefano Presents: Chrissy Chaos

#ChrisDistefano #StandUp #Comedy Chrissy Chaos is back and this time the Reverse Advice Hotline delivers. Chrissy and Vito talk weight loss, weird food habits, David Cross, Jasmin’s birthday, home ownership stress, and then open the lines for fans to tell Chrissy exactly how to fix his life. The callers do not disappoint. Chrissy gets roasted for not knowing tools, told to stop moving, pushed into “man bootcamp,” and somehow ends up in a full debate about confidence, dating, daughters, and whether he can survive adulthood.

#ChrisDistefano #StandUp #Comedy We’re BACK on video… In this episode of Chrissy Chaos, Chris explains why he HAD to bring video back (hint: it involves a house, a wedding, and a LOT of money). Meanwhile, Josephine the dog completely takes over the studio, Vito is barely surviving with duct-taped equipment, and the Reverse Advice Hotline returns with some of the most unhinged callers yet. From real estate advice to vegan weight loss, dating chaos, and even a dog communicator who claims she can read Josephine’s mind… this episode is absolute madness. Plus: Easter drama, family dynamics, and the realization that adulthood might just be one long expensive mistake. Subscribe for new episodes every week.

#chrisdistefano Chris is back with another chaotic episode — and this one has everything. We’re going audio only (deal with it), calling fans for advice instead of giving it, and trying to figure out if Chris is even capable of owning a Siberian Husky. Things spiral fast when a “fox sighting” turns into a full sprint from… a squirrel. Chris calls dog trainer Justin Silver for real advice, but somehow ends up talking peptides, shock collars, and whether you can train a dog like a four-legged child. Then it’s Knicks courtside stories — including Tracy Morgan demanding Vito “lock the f*** in,” plus an all-time awkward celebrity interaction. We also get into: Chris potentially coaching his daughter’s T-ball team (terrifying) A secret bundt cake addiction Saint John’s obsession reaching dangerous levels And whether Chris is about to abandon his family for March Madness PLUS — the debut of the Reverse Advice Hotline. 📞 CALL IN: (929) 266-7934 Leave a voicemail and YOU might get called on the show. 0:00 Audio Only Chaos Begins 1:00 Ceiling Leak + “Actual Men” Fix It 2:00 Starving Before Podcast 3:00 Chris vs Audio-Only Haters 5:00 Reverse Advice Hotline Idea 6:45 Husky Controversy + Fan Comments 8:00 “Fox” vs Squirrel Incident 9:30 Calling Dog Trainer Justin Silver 12:00 How To Train a Husky Properly 15:00 Shock Collar Explanation 18:00 Trainer Hookup Gets Weird 20:00 LA vs NYC Debate 23:00 Peptides, TRT & Dog Injections 27:00 Bundt Cake Obsession 29:00 Courtside Knicks Experience 33:00 Tracy Morgan Interaction 37:00 Awkward Celebrity Moment 41:00 Sitting Courtside Struggles 45:00 Celebrities & Fighting Talk 46:30 Reverse Advice Hotline Plug 47:00 Opening Day + Mets Talk 49:00 T-Ball Coaching Debate 52:00 Saint John’s Madness Obsession #StandUp #Comedy UNCUT WILD CONTENT GO HERE 👉https://www.patreon.com/historyhyenas SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Follow us Muffin Butt! 🙆🏼‍♂️ Chris Distefano Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisdcomedy/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/chrisdcomedy Website - https://www.chrisdcomedy.com/ 🎥 Vito Calise - Producer Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/SweedishFishMafia Twitter - https://twitter.com/vitocalise 🎤More Chris D Comedy Website: https://www.chrisdcomedy.com/ Live Dates: https://www.chrisdcomedy.com/#tickets Learn more about your ad choices.

TODAY WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT THE BERLIN WALL, cute Germany!! 🙆🏼‍♂️ We’re tearing down walls, literally! In this episode of Christories, we dive into the Cold War drama that split Berlin in two, turning neighbors into strangers and the city into a tense playground for the U.S., USSR, and their global squad. The Berlin Wall was built overnight in 1961 to keep East Germans in and capitalist vibes out. JFK came through with his "Ich bin ein Berliner" moment, Checkpoint Charlie became the ultimate showdown spot, and spies were basically running the place. We’ll get into wild escape attempts, epic propaganda battles, and a press conference blunder that accidentally kicked off a revolution. By 1989, it all came crashing down thanks to confusion, courage, and a whole lot of people power. Grab your hammer and get ready to smash some history!!!

Before she became America’s sweetheart, Shirley Temple was a 3-year-old with bouncing curls and unexpected sass, making her screen debut in a risqué pre-Code short that would be unthinkable by today’s standards! By age 6, she was Hollywood’s top box office draw, charming Depression-era audiences with tap numbers, dimples, and her iconic dance with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson—the first interracial dance pairing in film history. While her ringlets became a national obsession (and parent-enforced hairstyle), her real life was far from picture-perfect. Behind the scenes, she faced relentless work schedules, controlling parents, and studio executives who saw her as a brand, not a child. She earned millions before age 12 but was left with little of it, and ironically, she never even liked the ultra-sweet Shirley Temple drink named after her. From child star to U.S. ambassador and breast cancer advocate, her story is one of early fame, industry exploitation, and personal reinvention. In this episode, we peel back the curtain on the real Shirley Temple—the curls, the charm, and the cost of growing up on camera.

THIS WEEK CHRIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE SPANISH INQUISITION! The Spanish Inquisition was one of history’s most infamous religious crackdowns, kicking off in 1478 under Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. Its original goal? To root out heresy and enforce Catholic orthodoxy, but it quickly turned into a powerful tool for social and political control. Jews, Muslims, converted Christians (called conversos), and anyone who didn’t “fit the mold” were often targets. Trials were secretive, evidence was thin, and torture was totally on the table. Even after confessing, people could still be burned at the stake. NO ONE WAS SAFE BABE! WILD crazy ways to torture and get people to confess. LGBTQ individuals and outspoken women were persecuted under vague charges like “sodomy” and “witchcraft.” Over 300 years, the Inquisition left a legacy of fear, paranoia, and thousands dead. It finally ended in 1834, but its shadow still lingers in discussions of religious oppression, systemic abuse, and, let’s be honest, the original Catholic guilt trip!! #ChrisDistefano #history #Podcast #comedy Our Sponsors:BetterHelp - Christories is brought to you by BetterHelp.
