    these guys r unacquainted w the term "common era@
    i understand it's a program intended to amuse first, any edifying value a secondry feature, but these guys litter their language w intentionally racially charged, totally pointless articulations and r unabashed about having had no exposure to the term common era as middleaged guys self-described s history buffs, how they cud make such a claim & yet have never stumbled across accounts making ample use of the secarian alternate to christian conventions is beyond me. their verbal quirks r also unlistenable after a while, the "cuz" "make no mistake" fillers at every turn is riduculous. a pair of literal baboons

    Funniest podcast ever.
    I listen to a good but of comedian hosted pods. This is by far the funniest podcast I’ve ever heard. IT’S WHAT IT IS. Always a good day where there is a new episode. Check their patreon too. Hilarious.

    Bad podcast Feed!!!!!
    Fix the Apple podcast feed . Will not let me follow!!!! Hello. Love the podcast and have followed before but every time I try to follow the podcast in apple podcast it shuts the app down and doesn’t remember my follow. Maybe that’ll help your numbers because I forget when I’m not subscribed. Again will not let me “follow”. Shuts the app down every single time I try

    Too much
    Sort of funny but are these guys coked out every episode? Nonstop yelling and rambling gets annoying. I know both of them are funny but here it seems like they’re trying too hard.
  • allen salkic
    Cuz! The Bosnian War (1990s) is WILD!
    Cuzzies, the Bosnian war is WILD because there is catholic kids who love their mothers and some MUZZIES involved; as well as Bill Clinton the ultimate pervert! And Bosnia is just wild in general. Would be a pretty good episode. Just sayin.

    WILD
    “History Hyenas” is a wild, hilarious, and refreshingly unique podcast that seamlessly blends history, comedy, and a dose of unfiltered chaos. Hosted by Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas, the show takes listeners on a whirlwind tour through history’s most fascinating, bizarre, and often overlooked stories, all while serving up relentless laughter and chemistry that feels like hanging out with your funniest (and most irreverent) friends. What sets “History Hyenas” apart is its ability to make history accessible and entertaining. Chris and Yannis have an unmatched knack for turning even the most niche historical topics into comedic gold. Whether they’re diving into ancient civilizations, revolutionary figures, or obscure cultural quirks, their high-energy banter and off-the-cuff tangents keep you hooked from start to finish. The podcast doesn’t shy away from being bold and unfiltered, which only adds to its charm. The hosts’ ability to mix deep dives into historical content with modern commentary and personal anecdotes makes every episode feel like a lively conversation rather than a lecture. Their genuine passion for storytelling shines through, and their ability to laugh at themselves adds an endearing quality to the often outrageous humor. For those who love to learn while laughing uncontrollably, “History Hyenas” delivers in spades. It’s a perfect blend of education and entertainment, brought to life by two hosts who clearly love what they do. Whether you’re a history buff or just in it for the laughs, this podcast is a must-listen. History has never been this wild—or this fun.

    Episode 119
    Entirely too much banter which takes away from the topic at hand. Also, horrible research and fact checking! Marvin was in fact 17 years younger than 1st wife Anna.
