Show Notes

We’re going back to school this week on Chris vs. The People because callers are sharing stories (or trauma) from their days in academia. First we hear from a caller whose dad turned her drive to school into a scene from a Mission Impossible movie. Afterwards, a caller comes clean about plagiarizing a song from a major movie, and another reveals that she got a call from prison…from her old middle school teacher. The episode is closed out with a tale of summer camp and an absolutely unhinged live action recreation of the Underground Railroad. And yes, you read that correctly.

It’s time for a house meeting because this week on Chris vs. The People, we are diving in to callers’ craziest roommate experiences. The episode starts with a caller sharing the time her selfish roommate ate her grad school science project and then is followed by a caller telling us about her dog-owning roommate that had left little “treats” for her and her roommate to find after being forced to move out. The episode’s third caller recounts a classic tale of roommates - that being the time her roommate was slowly conning the rest of the house out of rent money. Finally, the last caller reveals that his self-proclaimed “sociopath” roommate created a hostage situation with the other roommate. It’s a rollercoaster of an episode but one that will leave you feeling grateful for the roommates you might have. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

This week on Chris vs. The People, singer/songwriter Ashe stopped by as a special guest. Fresh off of opening for Benson Boone on his Wanted Man Tour, Ashe shares all her lore, like the time she would run away from home to her neighbors house as a baby. She also discusses heartbreak and divorce, which led to her current hit song Stop the Wedding. Ashe also recounts the time she drunkenly went up to Margot Robbie at a Halloween party with friend, Finneas, to let the movie star know that they are doppelgängers. The singer later reveals some spooky supernatural activity in her Nashville home, as well as how she met her now husband while touring and being in a different relationship. The episode is as heartwarming and wholesome as it is funny and chaotic as Chris and Ashe banter with ease. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!
