    Xi’s Batman Origin Story | History Hyenas
    Nov 20 2025
    Chris and Yannis go BALLS DEEP into the wild modern history of China—where ancient dynasties meet Communist chaos and daddy issues shape geopolitics. Strap in and strap on as the boys break down the rise of the CCP, the bloody changing of the guard, and how a young Xi Jinping went from the son of a top official… to a kid watching the Party purge his father, destroy his family, and send him to the countryside to shovel literal Communist doo-doo. But here’s the hyena twist: Instead of rejecting the system that wrecked his childhood, Xi ran toward it, climbed inside it, and wrapped himself in that big red blanket like a trauma-bonded panda. The bros explore the political psychology, the historical insanity, and the generational trauma that may have shaped one of the most influential leaders on Earth. This one’s wild.

    The Rat Pack Fux | History Hyenas
    Nov 13 2025
    The Rat Pack era was absolutely bonkers. These guys could never get away with what they pulled off back then. They drank, partied, womanized, and tore it up like legends. The boys take you through how the Rat Pack formed, the behind-the-scenes drama between the members, and why—when Frank Sinatra called—you better pick up.

  • How Socialism Destroyed Venezuela. The Hyenas go off!

    How Socialism Destroyed Venezuela. The Hyenas go off!
    Nov 6 2025
    Let’s take a wild trip down to Venezuela — from the discovery of its oil, to the rise of socialism, Chávez, Maduro, and the full-blown dumpster fire it’s become. We break down how one of the richest countries on earth turned into chaos, why Maduro and Trump are scrapping, and whether El Presidente is basically a cartel intern. What’s next for “Genezuela”? Only one way to find out: let the boys take you through the madness, the history, and the hyena-crying hilarity.
