History Hyenas with Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas

Argentina's **Dirty War** remains one of the darkest chapters in modern history. This week on **History Hyenas**, Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas dive into the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976–1983, the thousands of *desaparecidos* ("the disappeared"), the infamous death flights, Cold War politics, and how fear became a tool of government.

The Hyenas break down the history with their signature mix of laughs, outrage, and wild tangents, exploring how a nation descended into state terror—and why the legacy of the Dirty War still shapes Argentina today.

⚽ The biggest sporting event on Earth gets the Hyenas treatment.

This week, the boys dive into the incredible history of the FIFA World Cup—from its unlikely beginnings to the moments that turned soccer into a global obsession. They break down the greatest goals ever scored, the legends who became immortal, and ask the ultimate sports debate: **What if America's greatest athletes grew up chasing the World Cup instead of the NFL or NBA?**

Then things take a darker turn as they examine the controversy surrounding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the migrant labor system that built the tournament, and the debate over whether global scrutiny led to meaningful labor reforms—or simply exposed deeper human rights problems.

History, sports, politics, hot takes, and absolute chaos—just the way the Hyenas like it.

Step back in time with the Hyenas as the boys wander through **Colonial Williamsburg**, debate the magic of a **2AM Burger King run**, explore the gloriously chaotic decay of **Atlantic City**, and gush over the postcard-perfect charm of **Spring Lake** on the Jersey Shore.

From America's colonial roots to late-night fast food, abandoned casinos, and one of the East Coast's prettiest beach towns, no topic is safe when the Hyenas are riffing.

This week on History Hyenas, the boys tackle the most important historical event of 2026: Chris' wedding. From planning the big day to debating what makes a perfect wedding, Yannis and Chris break down the chaos, traditions, and inevitable family drama.

Chris also recounts a chance encounter with Game of Thrones star Kit Harington that left him questioning his own attractiveness. Was it admiration, intimidation, or both?

Plus, the Hyenas explore the deep connection Greeks and Italians have to food, family, and community. Why do some of life's biggest moments happen around a dinner table? The boys discuss how meals become the centerpiece of celebrations, weddings, holidays, and everyday life—and why breaking bread together remains one of the strongest bonds in any culture.

Wedding planning, celebrity encounters, and a deep dive into the social power of food—it's a classic Hyenas episode.

The Hyenas are back!

This week, Chris and Yannis break down the Knicks' long-awaited championship, the wild celebrations that followed, and why every sports victory somehow ends with people climbing poles and setting things on fire.

Then they revisit the Shroud of Turin, exploring new evidence, fresh theories, and whether history's most famous relic is any closer to being solved.

Plus: UFC at the White House. The boys dive into the bizarre collision of politics, sports, and spectacle as Dana White and Donald Trump bring the octagon to America's most famous address.
Championship chaos. Ancient mysteries. Cage fights on government property. Classic Hyenas.
