The Greek General That Ended the Ottoman Empire with his Glue Gun Jan 16, 2025

Show notes

Georgios Karaiskakis might just be one of the wildest figures in history. A Greek mountain rebel and the illegitimate son of a nun, he lived his life with zero concern for conventions. Known for his sharp wit, charismatic presence, self-deprecating humor, and fearless bravery, he was also, by all accounts, a bit unhinged in the best way possible.

Karaiskakis played a pivotal role in the Greek Revolution, helping to dismantle Ottoman rule in Greece. His legendary trash talk and audacious personality made him as unforgettable off the battlefield as he was on it. A true national hero, Karaiskakis embodied the spirit of resilience and rebellion. Simply put, he was a human hyena—wild, unpredictable, and undeniably iconic.

Menendez Sisters do the Menedez Bros Dec 26, 2024

Show notes

The Hyenas dive deep into the story of the Menendez brothers—two seemingly innocent kids raised in a bizarre mix of indulgence and harsh discipline. Their father was a controlling, abusive figure, while their mother struggled with weakness and passivity. After hearing their full story, it’s hard not to wonder: should the Menendez brothers have gone to prison at all? When you consider the environment they endured, you might even question whether their parents’ demise was a tragedy or an inevitable outcome.

Winston Churchill Keep Calm & Cackle on Dec 19, 2024

Show notes

Winston Churchill was overweight and a cigar smoker, but the man lived a long life because he loved to paint and didn’t take everything too seriously—except for Hitler trying to take over the world. The boys uncover some wild fects about him. They also tease Operation Unthinkable, an absolutely insane idea Churchill came up with, but you can only hear about that at Patreon.com/historyhyenas.

The Secret Life of Da Vinci Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

Was Leonardo da Vinci the most brilliant person ever? Was he the first true gay icon? How was he so brilliant? Most people know him for the Mona Lisa, but painting was his least favorite passion. He was an inventor, scientist, and architect. He was the ultimate Renaissance man and was way ahead of his time! He predicted and conceptualized ideas so advanced that they could only be realized long after his life. He lived freely, like a bird, following his curiosity wherever it led. The only thing he didn’t seem curious about was sex with women!

Yanni & Chris go wild discussing Leonardo da Vinci and how he put the PIECE in masterpiece. They uncover how he was most definitely a three-dollar bill and reveal the intense rivalry with Michelangelo, who absolutely hated him! Lt. Lollipop and Sgt. Snuggle even suggest that Da Vinci might have hidden Satanic symbols in his paintings—wild stuff!

John D. Rockefeller Good or Evil? Nov 28, 2024

Show notes

The Conspiracy Cuties have a wild one for you today, all about John D. Rockefeller and how he was a bad, bad, bad boy! Sgt. Snuggles and Lt. Lollipop make an appearance as well. Keep your kids home from school for this one!

John D. Rockefeller was a highly motivated individual from a young age. He was driven by a desire for wealth and dominance, but equally by a devotion to his faith and a longing to secure a place in heaven. This duality made him an intriguing paradox. Join the debate: Was Rockefeller a force for good, a symbol of exploitation, or a blend of both? Was he an angel, a devil, or something in between? His legacy continues to spark questions about ambition, morality, and the impact of great power.

Alexander The Great Gay? Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

Alexander the Great was a fully charged conqueror who had no chill. He was also a lover of men, women, and anything else available. History calls him “the Great,” but many in his own time considered him a tyrant.

If he had lived into his 80s, would we still call him “the Great”? If he lived today, would he be dismissed as a “three-dollar bill”?

He was undoubtedly a brilliant military leader—arguably the greatest of all time—but he didn’t seem to have much of a five-year plan beyond conquest.
