History Hyenas with Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas

In this WILD episode of History Hyenas, Chris Distefano and Yannis Pappas go deep into the dark, bizarre, and absolutely unhinged history of insane asylums and the early "treatments" for mental illness.

From 18th-century "bedlams" where tourists paid a penny to gawk at patients, to bloodletting, ice baths, insulin shock therapy, and the infamous lobotomy—the boys break down how humanity attempted to treat the mind before modern medicine. It's a wild ride through medical history, bad science, and classic Hyena chaos!

Cuz, you are not ready for this one! In this episode, the boys dive into one of the most unbelievable stories of the American Civil War: Albert Cashier. Born Jennie Hodgers in Ireland, Albert stowed away to America, enlisted in the 95th Illinois Infantry, and fought through some of the bloodiest battles of the war—all while keeping a massive secret hidden for over 50 years!

We talk about Albert’s heroics at Vicksburg, surviving capture, getting a veteran’s pension, and how the fellas in the regiment reacted when the truth finally came out decades later. It’s wild, it’s historical, and it’s pure chaos. Lock in!

In this episode of History Hyenas, Chrissy Chaos and Yanni Punani take a deep dive into the life, mind, and controversial writings of Karl Marx. Known primarily as the father of modern socialism, Marx’s personal life and earlier essays reveal a far more complex—and often contradictory—figure than most history textbooks let on.

The Hyenas break down Marx's famous 1844 essay, On the Jewish Question, exploring his perspective on religion, emancipation, and the economic landscape of 19th-century Europe. Plus, we look closely at his personal life: his family background, his financial struggles, and how his lived experiences shaped the theories that changed the world.

Uncensored, hilarious, and packed with wild historical context—it's a wild one, wild cuz!
