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.
