• The Founding Father’s Secrets: What You DIDN’T KNOW About George Washington

  WE’RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON, THE MYTH, THE MAN, AND THE MESSY TRUTH. He’s on the dollar bill, praised as the father of our country, but how well do we really know him? In this episode of Christories, we dig into the real George Washington: war hero, enslaver, and symbol of a young nation’s contradictions. From his violent campaigns against Native Americans to the legendary (but fake) cherry tree story, we uncover the hidden layers of his legacy. You’ll hear the daring escape of Ona Judge, the truth about his famous teeth, and why he reluctantly became president. He shaped America—but not without flaws that still echo today.

• The Depressing Truth about THE BERLIN WALL- Chrissy Chaos Presents - Christories History Lessons - ep 41

  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!!!  SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS BetterHelp - Chrissy Chaos Presents: Christories is brought to you by BetterHelp.

• Chrissy Chaos Presents - Christories: The Dark Truth Behind Shirley Temple

  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.

• The Horrifying Truth About the Spanish Inquisition - Christories | History Lessons - ep 39

  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.
