This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan, Real United Airlines customers.
Chris Stefano
We were returning home and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Kath and Andrew. I got to sit in the driver's seat.
Giannis Pappas
I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me.
Chris Stefano
Of myself when I was that age.
Giannis Pappas
That's Andrew, a real United pilot.
Chris Stefano
These small interactions can shape a kid's future. It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever. That's how good leads the way.

Chris Stefano
What'S up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of History Hyenas. Chris Stefano and Giannis Pappas. I'm off the beam today. I feel tired, I feel hungover, I feel fat, I feel bloated. I'm a girl, so I'm wearing oversized sweater and I. Please, if you don't. If you think that I look fat on camera, please don't write in the comments because my heart and brain can't take it.
Giannis Pappas
I'm 2:20. We're the 2:20 twins right now.
Chris Stefano
That's what we are.
Giannis Pappas
We're twinning right now. You know, like some girls cycle up with their periods. We're cycling up with our weights. We're both to 20. I got on the scale this morning and it was post shit.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
And I'm 220. Well, you also have that into context. I think some of the biggest heavyweights fight at 220. What it is, so. But I'm not muscular like that, so you could just assume right now my gut's big. My penis is small.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. Gut big, penis small. And you got banged up last night with your neighbor and you fell at 1 o' clock in the morning in your driveway at 50 years old. And then you walked into your house drunk and ate some sandwiches.
Giannis Pappas
I fell on his driveway and I.
Chris Stefano
You could sue him for that.
Giannis Pappas
I was so drunk. This how I know I'm getting old. I fell flat on my face forward.
Chris Stefano
Right.
Giannis Pappas
I didn't get injured, though, because God was looking out for me because I technically should. These should be ripped up. Right. Because I fell on concrete and I just have a low scratch in there.
Chris Stefano
Right.
Giannis Pappas
What happens is, what's good is when you get fat. Gives you a little cushion.
Chris Stefano
A little cushion, yeah.
Giannis Pappas
So you fall and you're like, inflatable.
Chris Stefano
You fell exactly like your toddler would fall.
Giannis Pappas
I would. Felt like my toddler. Forward.
Chris Stefano
Forward. Yeah, forward.
Giannis Pappas
And it was. It's good to be banged up on bourbon because I didn't feel anything. I think I'm a little more injured than I think.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. And I think that one of those things where that visual of you getting thrown out of your bed by your wife because you were snoring and probably trying to have sex when she didn't want to have sex is just funny to me. And then going into the basement with a sandwich that you put too much mustard on.
Giannis Pappas
I was squeezing mustard on there. And I did not try to have sex with my wife.
Chris Stefano
You did. I did not. No. Okay.
Giannis Pappas
I told you, I just wanted to go to sleep.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
She was just angry at me. And. And that's. I think it's understandable. But you know what? I didn't care.
Chris Stefano
You didn't care?
Giannis Pappas
I didn't care at all because I was in a good state of mind and I had a good time.
Chris Stefano
Is she still mad at you?
Giannis Pappas
I had a good country night. I sat by the fire and talked to a white guy with a beard.
Chris Stefano
It's country. Yeah. You know, country. Live, having a country night. And I like country music. Country music's not. There's no profanity in it.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, country music is just good.
Chris Stefano
They're singing about, you know, just like wholesome things.
Giannis Pappas
You're on a big. No profanity.
Chris Stefano
And they're not cursing and they just sing about the good old days.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
When things were just a little different.
Giannis Pappas
It's just a little simpler, a little different. It's just what's going on my car radio, what's going on my beer? There's always jeans involved.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
And that's what it is. It's a car. It's jeans and a girl. That's it.
Chris Stefano
What it is. Now, do you think that it would be a nice touch if this Zach Brown band was playing outside ICE detention facilities?
Giannis Pappas
I think it would be nice. I think it would be nice.
Chris Stefano
I think that.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, I think that would be nice.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Are there any liberal country singers?
Chris Stefano
No.
Giannis Pappas
Is that like an Oxyboron?
Chris Stefano
No.
Giannis Pappas
Nobody goes like, I'm coming back from voting for Hillary. And things got weird when climate change hit me. God damn. Going on a flotilla to protect the Palestinian people just to be ready to talk about freedom for Palestine. It's just not going to happen. Right. Happen. It's just all red, white and blue.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
It's all about get out of my country. Yeah.
Chris Stefano
It's all it's all about because. Because what? Country music is usually played by actual men.
Giannis Pappas
Right?
Chris Stefano
That's the thing.
Giannis Pappas
Right.
Chris Stefano
So liberal guys just aren't real guys. No, I'm kidding. I don't even know if I'm liberal or republic Republican. I'm in the middle.
Giannis Pappas
We're soy boys.
Chris Stefano
We are soy boys. Make fun of both sides. We are soy boys. And I will tell you that I am proud to say that today. I ordered breakfast for our group in here today. And when they asked me what was the name for the order, I said Zoran. And then she yelled out Zoran in front of everyone and people clapped.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, Zoran. He's on the national stage. People outside of New York know who he is. Cuz he's the future of the Democratic Party.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
It's the only. I mean, these tend to be the only Democratic candidates who are getting any footing and following, you know, what's his name from California's trying. He's cursing.
Chris Stefano
He's Gavin Newsom.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, yeah. Like him because he's cursing.
Chris Stefano
Well, no, I do like him because he's handsome.
Giannis Pappas
You do like that.
Chris Stefano
I am a little bit of a girl here because I am very, very, very depressed. Like I just as soon as my feet hit the floor today and I felt fatter than usual, I put on a huge comfy sweater and sweatpants and I just sat down. I swear I sat down and I made myself a tea and I sat in my room and I watch like I was having my period.
Giannis Pappas
And you also, like a girl, love autumn the best. And you like the fall.
Chris Stefano
I love autumn the best. And I'm telling you today I was literally put on my sweatshirt and I was, even though I don't have long enough hair, I was going to put my hair up in a ponytail. I went like that.
Giannis Pappas
I know you're off the beam today because whenever you wear those old New Balance. I know you just threw them on.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
And you have, you have a bed head spot.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Do I know you didn't shower this morning?
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. You have a bed.
Chris Stefano
These crusty, these ones.
Giannis Pappas
When you throw in those crusty ones.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
When you don't.
Chris Stefano
Are they cute though or. No, they're cute.
Giannis Pappas
Although the color is a little.
Chris Stefano
Not my style.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, it's like shit brown.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
But I know when you're, when you're feeling cute, you're going to, you're going to put on some of the free stuff you got from Kiff.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
So on a cute day, you're going to put on those Adidas.
Chris Stefano
Right.
Giannis Pappas
And, and you, when you have a cute day, you've showered, but you didn't shower this morning, did you? I didn't shower because you have a bed head spot.
Chris Stefano
I got a bed spot. What I did is I tried to shower very well. I took what, a half shower? You're depressed. Yeah, I tried, I tried to take. I. What I did is I rinsed off. Yeah, I rinsed off because the construction guys. I noticed that the construction gu were coming up the driveway, so I had to go up and rinse off because I don't like to open the door. I don't like them to see me like this. I want the construction guys to see.
Giannis Pappas
Me ready to go.
Chris Stefano
Ready at least kind of cute. I know I can't be super cute today, but I at least want it to be relatively cute for the construction guys.
Giannis Pappas
There's one question to know, I think, you know, when it comes to if a man's man is how they wear their towel after they get out of the shower. Now, do you wear your towel above your chest?
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Down to your waist or do you tie it around your waist?
Chris Stefano
Well, what I do is I, first of all, I wrap it around my head.
Giannis Pappas
That's what you gotta get your hair.
Chris Stefano
I gotta dry my hair. And then I, Yeah, I wear it above my. I wear it like that. That's how a girl does it. Right.
Giannis Pappas
Think guys who are voting for Zo Ron get out of the shower and they wrap the Towel under their armpits.
Chris Stefano
100%. Just put the eyes above his own rug. Put the towel under their armpits. 100%. Could somebody make that a visual? Somebody make that meme one of our fans, Please just. I voted for Zorat and have them have it be a guy with the towel on their head and under their armpits and voted for Zora.
Giannis Pappas
So Zoran right now is completely blowing out Silwa and Andrew, who is Jim Walden. It's just he's taking 2% of the vote.
Chris Stefano
Was what in it?
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
The narcissism. Right. Of, like, Silhouette, Sliwa and Walden. I understand Sliwa. You know, they say it's tough on crime. I get that. But it's like, dude, you know, you guys aren't going to win.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
Cuomo has the best chance. So it's like you don't actually care about the city.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. I was in Tulsa this weekend.
Chris Stefano
It's.
Giannis Pappas
It might be nice to live in a city right now where you can afford a house and know that your mayor race doesn't matter. Right. The mayor race in New York State, it really matters.
Chris Stefano
Right, Right.
Giannis Pappas
All the international business comes through. We have the UN Here. I mean, the mayor of New York is one of the most powerful positions in the country. The mayor of Tulsa is not.
Chris Stefano
It's not.
Giannis Pappas
No. The mayor. Tulsa can just be a guy named Steve. I don't even think you need to submit your last name when you run for mayor. No, I think the mayor, you just go, david.
Chris Stefano
David. Yeah. I think the mayor of Tulsa was actually the general manager of the comedy club you were doing.
Giannis Pappas
Prob. He's just running two things, by the way, a great comedy club, great owner. I love that spot, the loony bin. Everyone should do it if they're the Tulsa Looney. Ben Tulsi Luna is a great club. The owner is awesome. We hung out. He gets panic attacks, which made me like the guy. Yeah. Yeah.
Chris Stefano
I did the loony bin on Staten Island. It was in the back of a bowling alley.
Giannis Pappas
The only other loony bin I knew.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
The one in Staten island that actually had real barbed wire. Yes. Remember, it had real barbed wire. You know. You know how fucking franks and beans you have to be to put real barbed wire on a stage where black people perform.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
They could get injured.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
And I say black people because they like to move around.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
You know, they don't just. They perform and they're very. They act out actual real fucking barbed wire on stage.
Chris Stefano
I remember that was a Place that I used to do all the time. A young Pete Davidson always used to do that. Shout out the owner, Vic. Member Vic. He might be at Soul Joel's wedding.
Giannis Pappas
He might be at Soldier. Soldier's wedding is going to be. There will be people from my brother's.
Chris Stefano
School at Soldier's wedding.
Giannis Pappas
His best man may be special.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, it's what it is on one of our good.
Giannis Pappas
But it's going to be good to see Scott Chamberlain there.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Soldier.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. We're getting very inside baseball now, but you'll see, you'll see. In March, we will post pictures of the wedding that we are going to in Pennsylvania.
Giannis Pappas

Chris Stefano
And make absolutely no mistake, Giannis and I were invited to the wedding and we will be asked the day before to do a show.
Giannis Pappas
We'll be doing a show and it should do a skit. And I am going because Soldier's wedding is going to be fudgeing fun.
Chris Stefano

This is a real text I sent to Sergio. I said, because I was. We was up this morning, him and I were talking and I go, I go, where was it?

Giannis Pappas
We should not be beating the fans.
Chris Stefano
I want to do it. Come on. I want to meet you.
Giannis Pappas
You're always big, you know, that was more of a safe play, I think five to seven years ago now, since COVID everyone's roof's a little leaky.
Chris Stefano
I want to meet.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Kids have gotten. The kids have gotten leaky.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. So I don't want to meet any. You fucking leaked out. Kids.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. So tell. What. Yeah. Because you had a nice freaking beam kiss. Can you find it?
Giannis Pappas
Still looking for the beam.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. My brain doesn't work the same. And I'm starting to get a little nervous that I can't recall the words that I'm thinking of, like, quickly anymore. Does that happen to you?
Giannis Pappas
It happens to me all the time.
Chris Stefano
You boys, too. Happens. You can't think of the word. So what is it? Is it just being. Getting older? Are we tired? What do I.
Giannis Pappas
What do I think with you? It's depression. You're depressed today.
Chris Stefano
I'm depressed. I really am. I'm depressed and I got. Can I just be honest with you?
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris Stefano
I want. What I've been saying from the beginning, since we started this podcast. I want two words. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Best part about this podcast now is you get really comfortable saying things that are going to get you in trouble.
Chris Stefano
What it is. Yeah. So maybe let's just. Whatever. I'll just talk about something else that.
Giannis Pappas
Why don't you hand me the keys and let me back this one out of the driveway? Yeah. Can you please?
Chris Stefano
Because I'm still actively drunk right now.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
And I just feel tired.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
And I just feel depressed.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
And I really just don't like where things have turned out for me the last few days and.
Giannis Pappas
Guys, you need a gumata.
Chris Stefano
I need a gumade. And I wanted to take a stroll with you. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
I want to stroll with you, too. But let's be honest. The Italians figured it out, you know? And I like the Italians because they. They have principles. Right. They go God first.
Chris Stefano
Right.
Giannis Pappas
Country second, family third or family before country. And then gumade right after that. Yeah. And then after that, it's sauce.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Can you make a sauce? But gumare is fourth on the list.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Those are their principles.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. Wait, and here I. I know the. I know the beamcast you. We were talking about with you. Hold on. I know I could get. I could get us there.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. And while he finds it, I'm going to tell you what we're going to be talking about today. We're going to be talking about something very, very interesting for a lot of you conspiracy nuts out there. The Internet loves conspiracy. And what we're going to find out, we're going to talk about a little guy named Yitzhak Bentoff. A guy with a real big, big Big Jew brain. Yeah. He's talking one of those special Ashkenazi Jews, self taught, kind of inventor and mystic who is just brilliant and also really thought that through meditation you could expand your consciousness. All you had to do was get into the vibration, which I think was 40 Hz is the magic number where you tune into the hum of the universe. And then you could time travel and things like that. And then the CIA used some of his findings from his book and started doing a program where they were trying to get these people to meditate in remote view. Yeah. They could see where Russian submarines were going.
Chris Stefano
Right.
Giannis Pappas
And now. But now it's antiquated because we have satellites so we don't need it. So it was called the Stargate project. But me and Chris were talking, we're going to get into a big. And what we could use remote viewing for is when you can see things in other places is it'd be nice to see Sydney Sweeney. I used to take a peek of that at night. Yeah, who gives a shit about Russian submarines? I want to see her feet in her bed.
Chris Stefano
It's just what it is, cuz.
Giannis Pappas
So if you could meditate, you could pull that up for me. That'd be great. Because I want to slurp or poop.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is, it's what it is. Sometimes I have to do that big.
Giannis Pappas
You want to see Sydney Sweeney's feet big, right? Big, big, big.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. So I asked last week, I asked Giannis, I texted him and just out of Nowhere, it was 9:30 in the morning. I said, what's going on, cuz? How you doing? And he wrote, this was his response. He goes, we got brains wired for survival and we are social animals. So we have biological need for psyche to develop normally. These are chemically based. Those need to be turned on by safety of tribal caregivers. And then I wrote, oh, wow. Oh wow. And then it. And then he goes, you could see funny people what the subtext of their personality is. It's accept me, love me, it's maladaptive. But when alchemist for art works great.
Giannis Pappas
When alchemized.
Chris Stefano
When alchemized for art works great. Like all pain, which is a part of our condition, art is an outlet to alchemize pain and connect with others and bond. That feels safe. I wrote, wowee. Then he goes, laughter at comedy is defined as disarming fear. So that's the stew. Like grass grows some shit. It's an antidote for fear and is born for fear. That's why Somebody isn't funny because he's not fearful. Underneath is just cognitive pattern reading for jokes. Because through understanding and accepting, we find peace in the equality of our living organism and realize all material competitive needs are just mirage reflections of the fears of the ego in a dissenting reality that barely even exists. Beyond constantly changing energies. The only thing that exists is the moment, which is infinitely small. Everything else behind and in front only exists in mind, which does not exist beyond being energy waves. So existence is just an infinity, an infinitely small moment. Everything else is created by the mind and doesn't really exist. As we define existence. The funniest people that make you laugh have fear underneath the timing and delivery. Ever notice that? And I wrote beam cast.
Giannis Pappas
So have you ever thought about how infinitely small existence actually is? This is something that actually Aristotle like contemplated, right?
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
So I don't know if we could pull it up, but what Aristotle said about the moment.
Chris Stefano
So he goes, you think Aristotle was super cute? I think super cute.
Giannis Pappas
But he did like slaves. That was one thing he did.
Chris Stefano
But slaves weren't black back then, they were white. So it's okay.
Giannis Pappas
They were all flavors. It was Benetton back then. But yeah, he would take whatever is just. He was big time believer in slavery, right? So he just thought it was right, you know, and, you know. Okay, so that was one thing that I think he got wrong, but he got a lot right. But what he said is like, yeah, we're talking about existence is this is the moment. The only thing that actually exists is the moment. And the moment is infinitely quick, right. It goes by so quick. I mean, it's like it's not even a second, like, and then moment's over. And then also all of this morning that all the things we talked about that all doesn't exist anymore. And then the future in front of you doesn't exist. So the only. You're. You're traveling through this infinite infinitely small moment. And so that's existence is this infinitely small moment. So we mostly don't exist, Right. Just like when you think about how the body's made up of mostly water, right. But you can see it as a form. We're mostly water, which makes you go like, we're, We're.
Chris Stefano
Is that why I'm mostly not a form? Is that why I'm always hard in the winter?
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. So Aristotle, it was called the paradox of now. So he acknowledged a puzzle related to the nature of time. It appears to consist of three parts. The past, the present, the future. He identified a problem with Each of these components, the past no longer exists. The future does not exist yet. And the present of now is a boundary between the non existent past and future. And now and now is instantaneous and vanishes. So it also seems to be nothing. So he was basically saying like he's basically saying existence is so much closer to non existence existence that it's almost.
Chris Stefano
Supposed now you get so fat you can see your nipples. Yeah. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
So that's a really good thing also when you're. When you need to calm down is just think about.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, just grab your chance.
Giannis Pappas
It's just when you need to. First of all, self soothing is really nice.
Chris Stefano
Self soothing when you're jacked at the top, by the way. You are jacked at the top. Hey kid, you're mad.
Giannis Pappas
I'm 220. I will fucking throw you straight into a pipe.
Chris Stefano
You hear that you mom Donnies?
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, I'll fucking pick you up and throw you. I'm a 220 kid. I'm 6 foot. I'm 220. I'm not a small guy. I'm not scared of ghosts anymore.
Chris Stefano
Not anymore. You're young, Yanis.
Giannis Pappas
6, 1 2, 20. Why do you need to pee with the water running?
Chris Stefano
I do. And I can't go in my basement this weekend. I got scared again.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, because you're too big to be scared. You need to roof cleaner and find out what's going on and what tried to attack you while you were taking a shit.
Chris Stefano
So. And I got. And I got really sad last night. So what really makes me feel comfy and good is I go on goldbelly.com which sends can send you sweets from all over the world. And I go to Savannah's candy kitchen and I order German chocolate cake, large. And it's coming off Wednesday and it makes me happy.
Giannis Pappas
You have so you're way off the beam.
Chris Stefano
I'm way off.
Giannis Pappas
So we're not talking about eating Mediterranean food every day. Right now. Right now you're doing dessert first. Your dessert first, Chrissy.
Chris Stefano
Well, we are going to go get Mediterranean food. After you get your roof clean.
Giannis Pappas
We're going to go to. We're going to get some chocolate croissants.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. So Creek, know what we're going to do?
Giannis Pappas
Want to go to Van Leeuwen?
Chris Stefano
Yeah. What I. What we do? What we do is we're going to go get Greek food and. And then at the end for dessert I'm going to have yogurt and I'm going to get a little baklava. So I'll find a. To get Greek desserts that have honey.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
And then we're going to get a little Van Lewing.
Giannis Pappas
Do you think your blood pressure is going right back up to 300? Where are you? Probably.
Chris Stefano
I probably. Well, the blood pressure is probably okay, but the cholesterol has definitely ticked up and the weight has definitely ticked up.
Giannis Pappas
Right.
Chris Stefano
But it's interesting because Jasmine, when she sees me with my shirt off last night, she thinks beefier is better. Women like beef.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
But I don't like that because I know the other guys in my group chat don't want to see that. Yeah. Because that's what I really like to do is I like to, to get myself into a good shape and I like to send guys pictures of me with no shirt on. And I like to do it at 3 o' clock in the morning so when they wake up, it's the first thing they see.
Giannis Pappas
But what I've learned, I've learned that the women say that, our women say that they're lying. Right. I had an ex girlfriend and I figured it out because she admitted it to me.
Chris Stefano
What she say? She.
Giannis Pappas
Because I would always go, I'm way fat. And obviously I was way fat and disgusting. You can look at old pictures.
Chris Stefano
I mean, let's pull up some old pictures. Disgusting, but we throw some up right here. Jeff.
Giannis Pappas
Jesse knows my ex girlfriend, the one I had for eight years, is she would always say, I like you better like that. And then she admitted to me that the reason she liked me better like that is because she wanted me unattractive for other people.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
So when our wives say that we look good, because my wife says that to me, I always say that to her too. I was like, I look fat. And she's like, you look great. What she wants is for me to be disgusting outside the house.
Chris Stefano
Got him.
Giannis Pappas
So they're just saying that to trick us. They're going, oh, you look great, but really I'm a fat piece of shit.
Chris Stefano
But then how but then, but isn't it but then, then doesn't it not, Isn't it not good for our wives because then we're ugly and fat for them?
Giannis Pappas
No, because they like us. They don't care. Women don't think of us. Women aren't visual like we are, right? They don't mind, they don't give a sweaty on top of them. They just, they want us contained.
Chris Stefano
They just want stability.
Giannis Pappas
They're just like, you know what, they're prison guards.
Chris Stefano
That's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
It's just control. It's my.
Chris Stefano
In a prison. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, yeah, that's. And my wife would say I look great, and she enjoyed that.
Chris Stefano
That's what she wants.
Giannis Pappas
I look like a white load. I like a pasty white load.
Chris Stefano
Because that looks like a picture in the newspaper of someone who just got arrested. Child porn.
Giannis Pappas
I look like yogurt with hair in it.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
I look like a fucking faji and somebody sprinkled hair on top.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, it's what it is. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
I'm just a disgusting pig with a really horrible tattoo.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Because I got drunk and I got that tattoo.
Chris Stefano
It was 50 bucks. Yeah, it's 50 bucks.
Giannis Pappas
I made some bad decisions, too, because.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. Now scroll down a little bit. Jesse, from our. In our conversation. If you can see, I want you. I want to play the Limbaugh Laws. I just want to play it real quick, and I want us to zoom in on Nick's face.
Giannis Pappas
What's the Limbaugh Laws?
Chris Stefano

Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
Historic St. Anne's Catholic Cathedral in Buffalo, New York, was sold for 250,000. Will now be converted to a mosque. Yeah. An Islamic center. That's okay. I'm okay.
Giannis Pappas
If you get the date and time of that, you could know that that was Chrissy studying how he had to take back Christendom. Because I got to tell you right now, people don't think about this. But let me tell you something. You need to have insurance. You need to have life insurance, because.
Chris Stefano
Life insurance is the only way. And you know me. If I trust anything, I trust Greeks. Yeah. And Ethos is a trustworthy company that disrupts the traditional life insurance industry. I'm not saying they're a Greek company, but it is a Greek name.
Giannis Pappas
It's a Greek name. It is A Greek name. Now listen, if you're the breadwinner of your family, you will make sure.
Chris Stefano
Which you definitely are.
Giannis Pappas
I am that as well.
Chris Stefano
Am I as.
Giannis Pappas
So are you.
Chris Stefano
I am the breadwinner.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. And if you're the breadwinner, you want to make sure your loss of income is covered, like keeping up with your mortgage, tuition, other bills. Like you just need to make sure your family's.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, you got to just make sure you know everything. You got to just. If you're the breadwinner, you got to have insurance. You got to. To think of this. You're the only one who's thinking of this. So you absolutely have to do it. Even though, you know, even. But you'll be told that your job isn't as important as, you know, making breakfast for the kids.
Giannis Pappas
And we recorded and we recorded New York City. And if you believe that the city's going to get a lot more dangerous and there's a better chance of something happening to you, you definitely want to get a little insurance.
Chris Stefano
Now if you've applied for life insurance before without mentioning specific companies. Oh, that's. Sorry, that's something that they told us to say as hosts, but I'm just going to finish reading it. So talk about how confusing, annoying or tedious process was and what you wish went differently. So let me tell you how tedious, annoying and confusing the process was of when I mentioned, when I tried to apply for another life insurance policy, I got to tell you, baby gorgeous, it was tedious, annoying and confused.
Giannis Pappas
Well, that's the good thing about Ethos is it's not tedious, annoying and confusing. It's very easy. There's no complicated process. It's 100% online, no medical exam required.

He got chewable kind, he got the serums, and I think he may have even gotten sprays. I don't know. But his hair looks amazing. Amazing.

Giannis Pappas
That's what he's doing.
Chris Stefano

Giannis Pappas
What were you using?
Chris Stefano
Were you using the chewables?
Giannis Pappas
What were you using? The syrups?
Chris Stefano
Yeah. The chewables. Yeah. Because the kid Jesse likes chewables. That's how he likes his Flintstone vitamins. Like me, I like them chewable. Sometimes I chew the kids gummies. You ever do that?
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes I'll take their vitamins because they're delicious.

Chris Stefano
Yeah, me either. But I just thought it was funny.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, I mean, you know, that's.
Chris Stefano
That is wild that those are laws in Mexico. I actually don't even believe that that's true.
Giannis Pappas
Well, you know, that's what it comes down to when people get upset about immigration, illegal immigration. And then you look further into it. You go, all these other countries have immigration laws and they don't Allow people to sneak in. So why should we be the only one that. That does that? But the limbo laws. Yeah, no, that. That's against freedom. People should be able to say and do whatever they want. That's what I.
Chris Stefano
You can't do it in Mexico.
Giannis Pappas
You can't do it in Mexico. But Mexico's a fucking shithole.
Chris Stefano
It really is.
Giannis Pappas
That's why they come here, is because they want to get away from fucking Mexico.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. It's just fun. It was just funny to me. I don't know why we. Wow. Because we were going through our group chat.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. I mean, listen, you know, immigrants are great. There's nothing wrong with immigrants as long as they abide law by the law.
Chris Stefano
We're immigrants, cuz we're immigrants. Me and you are immigrants.
Giannis Pappas
The whole country. We know. Nick is definitely an immigrant.
Chris Stefano
Well, no, Nick looks closest to a Native American, so he might be the only one who's not an immigrant. Yeah, Nick looks like, you know.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, Nick. Nick looks like he can't handle his alcohol.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, Nick. Nick is not.
Giannis Pappas
There's another way you can call someone an Indian.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, it's just what it is. He's a Native American. Nick is like, you know, he'd have like a modern Native American name. Like what would it. Running Edit.
Giannis Pappas

Chris Stefano
Or whisper clips.
Giannis Pappas
Watches wrestling.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. Watches wrestling.
Giannis Pappas
Watches wrestling.

Giannis Pappas
So here's the situation too.
Chris Stefano
What situation? You.
Giannis Pappas
Let that fly on the base. No, you can't.
Chris Stefano
No, you can't allowed to say it.
Giannis Pappas
I can't say it cuz your daughters are those.
Chris Stefano
It's a slur.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, but all the.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, but I just wanted to say it just to get one out. We can edit it out and you could just edit it out. Justin, put something fun over my mouth.
Giannis Pappas
Is it not the best slur you've heard for Greeks to. So, yeah, I think it's the number one Greek slur. Yeah.
Chris Stefano
Cause it's what you guys are.
Giannis Pappas
Here's the situation though.
Chris Stefano
Tell me, cuz.
Giannis Pappas
Christopher Columbus, right. Would have loved this podcast, I think. I think he would have been a big history hyenas fan because he just called Native Americans Indians.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
It's what? It's just something funny where he goes, you know what? You know how we just go. They go, hey, I'm Pakistani, I'm Indian. We go, cuz you. It's just you Sandra Dees, right? Yeah. You're just a sandstorm. You just. You're just dandy. He just went and he looked at the natives and he said, guess what? You guys are now Indians.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, he named them.
Giannis Pappas
How funny is it that he named them other people?
Chris Stefano
Because he thought he was in India.
Giannis Pappas
Well, he thought he was in the West. When they knew that he wasn't, he still just went. You know what?
Chris Stefano
You guys, you look sandy. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
You got. You're a little brown. You're all Indians.
Chris Stefano
You're all Indians. And do you know that Christopher Columbus was sailing to not necessarily find a new world. He was sailing to defend Christendom to find new crusaders to beat back Islam.
Giannis Pappas
Is that true?
Chris Stefano
That is what we call a truth Bader, Ginsburg. You can look it up. Up. The historians don't want you to know it, but a little man named Raymond Ibrahim.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
Who's a jacked theologian.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
Who's a defender of Christendom, who's a Coptic Christian from Egypt. Said it. So it's true.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
He's like the Joe Rogan of theology.
Giannis Pappas
Is he really?
Chris Stefano
He's Google. Raymond Ibrahim.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. I want to start listening to his podcast, Crusades.
Chris Stefano
It was all everybody who went to try to circumnavigate the world or find new lands. It was really just. We got to find more crusaders because Islam's. The Seljuk Turks are just killing everybody.
Giannis Pappas
Right.
Chris Stefano
And boiling babies alive.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
But this kid Raymond, even just. She's just a jacked hottie.
Giannis Pappas
The thing is, I think a lot of people on the Internet just have forgotten that a lot this. A lot of these guys are entertainment. They start believing. Guys just like, listen, these guys are entertainment. Just be entertained by these guys.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. The truth about the Crusades.
Giannis Pappas
Now, here's the thing. Here's the funny thing about Raymond Abraham is he looks like a guy the crusaders would kill first.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. 100%.
Giannis Pappas
That's the irony of it, is he looks like a big Arab. Big.
Chris Stefano
Well, and he's big on. He's big on that. Guys like Mom, Donnie, you know, that are committing a little thing called takiya. Do you know what a little thing called takiya is?
Giannis Pappas
Tell me, because you know a little bit too much about this.
Chris Stefano
So. A little bit. So what happens is sometimes. What happens is because sometimes you get a little banged up on the weekend, and you have a weekend, and you sit up in your room that's been designated as your room and your space, and you just look into a little thing called the Crusades because you feel like maybe you have some invasions in your own household, so you Start to say, how did we do this historically? And then you look into a little thing called taqiyah. And what taqiyah is is in the islamic faith or Muslims. What you can do is you are allowed to denounce your religion, and you are allowed to basically secretly say that you're not a muzzy when you actually are a muzzy. If it's to push the muslim agenda forward, which is what a little thing, which is what people think maybe a little man named zoran mamdani could be doing. He's saying, like, I don't. I support gays, and blah, blah, blah, blah. He's doing a little thing called taqiyah, which is loud in Islam. And it was actually, you know, a lot of people say back to the Spanish inquisition and, like, how come so many muslims all of a sudden renounced their faith and became Christians? That must have been a good thing, right? It's like, well, the answer is taqia. That's why they did it, is because they did that, they will basically go undercover to push Islam forward. It is a. Okay.
Giannis Pappas
Holy shit.
Chris Stefano
So this whole time, I could be doing takia. I could. I could be an undercover muzzi presenting as a catholic.
Giannis Pappas
Because you know what's great about the kid, too?
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Great black girl's name.
Chris Stefano
Great black girl's name.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Do you want to go to bbqs and go on a date with takiya Johnson?
Chris Stefano
And in my head, I'm going be beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, Takiya. Yeah, that's what I've been doing.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. It sounds like you're drunk on taquiya, Trying to tell people what you drank. I had too many tequilas.
Chris Stefano
Taquilla and is. That's what it sounds like in my house this weekend. I'm having so much tequila, yo, put me too much.
Giannis Pappas
Put me two more tequilas.
Chris Stefano
So in taqiyah in Islam, the practice of concealing one's belief and foregoing ordinary religious duties when under threat of death or injury. Derived from the arabic word waqa, taqiyah defined, taqiyah defies easy translation. English renderings such as precautionary dissimulation or prudent fear partly convey the term's meaning of self protection in the face of danger to oneself, or by extension and depending upon the circumstances, to one's fellow muslims. Thus, taqiyah may be used for either the protection of an individual or the protection of a community. Moreover, it is not used or even interpreted in the same way by every sect of Islam. Taqiyah has been employed by the Shia ites, the largest minority sect of Islam, because of their historical persecution and political defeats, not only by non Muslims, but also at the hands of the majority Sunni sect.
Giannis Pappas
Right. But the. The key thing here is that you have to believe that you're under threat of death or injury. So.
Chris Stefano
But they can make. They could bend the rules.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
They could say that they're under threat or injury and make up many different things. To me, it's just interesting how you'll just get. You got, you know, if you were sitting in. In, you know, anatolia in the 1400s and the Seljuk Turks came and they said, you have two choices right now. Either we cut your head off and either you convert to Islam or and we cut off and we circumcise you right here, or we cut your head off. And that was the only choice where if it was the other way around, Muslims can just say, I'm under taqiyah and they could just be a Christian when they're really not.
Giannis Pappas
Right.
Chris Stefano
So how come Christians don't have taqiyah? I want to have taqiyah.
Giannis Pappas
Right, right, right. Well, I think a lot of Christians just converted. A lot of them just converted.
Chris Stefano
Right. Like I would convert.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. I mean, tons of them just. They didn't even do takiya. They just did a. They. They did it to come over. Yeah. And they just came over to. They went over. Yeah. And they just went over to the dark side.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Basically it's, you know, Luke Skywalker is the Christian and Darth Vader is the Muslim.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Ladder 14, just. So it's just how it happened. Yeah. That's how Schmitty told me it was supposed to go.
Chris Stefano
Just what it is.
Giannis Pappas
He goes, look, it's all in the fucking Star wars movies. He goes, it's all an allegory for what happened back then. It's what? Luke Skywalker, he's a fucking savior.
Chris Stefano
He's Jes.
Giannis Pappas
Jesus Christ and Darth Vader, Satan, because he's wearing black. Yeah. It's what it is. Those are the Muslims, and they came in, they tried to convert, and all the Albanians fucking went to the docks. I'm just kidding. I don't want the Albanians to be mad at me.
Chris Stefano
That's what it is. Yeah. And a lot of. And what happens is, is here's the interesting truth is when Mamdani becomes mayor, you know, Muslim, Muslims, you have to pay. You basically have to pay a tax. Anytime Islam takes over, you have to pay a tax. Giza, it's called a giza jizya. They spelled J I Z Y A and know how to do that because I pay a little thing.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, it's.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
You know, I know we haven't gotten to the topic of the day yet.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
But we will.
Chris Stefano
Because I'm off the beat. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
And we're having a good time.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
But yeah, I mean, you know, just we gotta. You gotta be. What you're basically saying is you gotta be.
Chris Stefano
No, I'm not saying that.
Giannis Pappas
Where of Takia, just beware taew of Taquia. But that's it. I mean, that's synonymous. So you call Muslims sneaky.
Chris Stefano
Well, I'm just saying they have a part of their religion that could be all. Sneak attack. Yeah, yeah. And I'm just saying. I'm not saying Christianity is the answer, but I'm just saying trust and put your faith in Jesus and everything will be okay.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, that's it. Now, between me and Stavros, do you think which one of us would work for the Turks?
Chris Stefano
I think Stavros already worked for the Turks. Yeah, I think. Yeah. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
I just think maybe. Yeah. Between the two of us, who do you think would just turn into a Janissary?
Chris Stefano
Yeah, I think probably. I think. Well, it depends. I would say that you.
Giannis Pappas
I would. I would. I defend Christendom more than him or what would happen.
Chris Stefano
I think you would. I think you would go, but I think you would defend Christendom. But the problem, the thing is with you is I think you're just a kid. No matter what, you just like to throw on wigs. Yeah. So I think you would just throw on one of their head that they have. Just because you like something on your head. But I do. I can see this kid with a scimitar in his head. Big cause. Tell me about Lucy.

Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
So Jen Bagacus.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
And where's Ronfield Deluke? He went to Harvard and then used to make beats for us on the show.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. We used to call him disappointment to his parents.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. And then maybe that's Harvard.
Giannis Pappas
And then he was a dj.
Chris Stefano
Well, that's probably the reason he stopped listening. Yeah, That' we would just constantly call him a disappointment to our parents. Now, let's talk about this funk. Yeah, I'm just kidding around, you know, I'm just having fun.
Giannis Pappas
It's not even me.
Chris Stefano
It's Patty Mulrooney. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
So we're gonna talk a little bit today. 36 minutes in.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, let's talk about this.
Giannis Pappas
36 minutes in and we can talk. Well, at least she, you know, we're gonna. We'll talk a little bit about it and then we'll get more into the detail@patreon.com history hyenas. Listen.
Chris Stefano
Well, I'm just gonna let it fly today.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, today, you know, Chris is gonna go wild today.
Chris Stefano
I've just had enough. Chris. Italian's fat. We're getting a new studio.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. So listen, if you're not. If you're not. If you're a toot, you're not. You need to Join our patreon patreon.comhistoryhyenas. you need to become a part of the community over there. Those guys have fun on the Community Community board where they talk about us and they make. They make Photoshop photos.
Chris Stefano
So much fun. And the bottom line is this. If you're listening to this podcast and you're not on the Patreon, then you wear your towel under your armpits. That's what you do. That's what you do.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
And somebody needs to make that. That's a 10 out of 10 thing. Janice said, Mom Donnie. Men who vote for Mom Donnie wear their towels under their armpits. Yeah, that's a 10 out of 10 thing that they do.
Giannis Pappas
What they do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're going to start talking about a what, you know, one of these geniuses Right? Now, the Ashkenazi did just. They have a high iq.
Chris Stefano
They do.
Giannis Pappas
They got big brains, very smart. You know, they got those Levantine. Levantine genes, and they mix them with the euro, you know, and you just came. It came up with a nice stew. A smart. I mean, when you look at the percentage of people who've won, like, science, Nobel Peace Prizes, the Ashkenazi Jews are just fucking overrepresented.
Chris Stefano
They are.
Giannis Pappas
They're just smart kids. I like to call them the white Chinese.
Chris Stefano
That's what they are.
Giannis Pappas
They're white Chinese kids.
Chris Stefano
They're white Chinese kids. The Ashkenazi Jews.
Giannis Pappas
Yes. So how can you explain this kid? This kid's got no formal education. He's a self Taught kid. Much like some of the other geniuses. Leonardo da Vinci and whatever. Which I bet you Leonardo Vinci had to have. Samash Kanazi.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. 100 or remember he was sodomized as a kid? So maybe got it banged into him.
Giannis Pappas
He got it banged into him, yeah. Which is how the Greeks used to think you. The knowledge was transferred.
Chris Stefano
Is that an actual fact?
Giannis Pappas
I think they thought, yeah, they would have, like, mentor program.
Chris Stefano
It looks like I'm practicing a little Greek history.
Giannis Pappas
Tim Dillon would love Ancient Greece.
Chris Stefano
Big. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
He could walk around with as many tweaks as you want. Nobody would judge him.
Chris Stefano
Put your ideas at me. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
So it's Zach Bentoff. He was a mechanical engineer, inventor. But most importantly. And what he's known for mostly is that he was like a mystic. He was. He wrote this book about consciousness. And he believed that if you meditate, you could sync up with the universe. Universe. You could get the rhythm, your heartbeat, you could slow it down to the rhythm of the universe, and then it would open you up where you could, like, time travel, right? You could. You could remote view. You could. You could, like, feel the universe.
Chris Stefano
Well, you're the one that told me, you've told me that we're just conductors. Like, we're. We're here. Our bodies are just conductors, like the. All the universe. Everything's happening, the ideas, the life. We're just conducting it. Is that from him? Is that where you learned that?
Giannis Pappas
That was one of the things he want. He felt that consciousness was something you could tune into. Your brain was more like a radio antenna. And that consciousness is just there, like.
Chris Stefano
It'S happening above us. And you're just getting.
Giannis Pappas
You tune into it.
Chris Stefano
Got it.
Giannis Pappas
So it's platonic in the sense that, you know, perfect circle analogy, right? Perfect circle exists. We've said it before. It exists. It exists. Whether we exist, ideas exist. Did we create them or we just to cover them? Now, neuroscientists would all say, bullshit, we create the consciousness. It's all chemical. It's all. All based on our. Our meat flat. Our, you know, our meat package. And it's all about this squish up here. But I think a big reason they would say that is because then that's where their funding comes from.
Chris Stefano
That's what it is. Where's the. Follow the money, baby girl, money.
Giannis Pappas
Because, like, yeah, they go, oh, it's all chemical. It starts here. That's why you need to take a little Ritalin. That's why you need to take a little bit of this. Yeah. Fix the chemicals. And if you fix the chemicals, then you'll be happy. Yeah, but what if happiness is not that? What if it's just meditating and attuning yourself to the mother universe?
Chris Stefano
That's what I think it is.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Getting impregnated in the moment and meeting the powerful. The all powerful. Yahweh. Yahweh.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Allah. Inshallah. Allah's a good kid.
Chris Stefano
Now, mind now. Now he has a book called Stalking the Wild Pendulum. Did you ever read that one?
Giannis Pappas
I haven't read it, but I did read the synopsis of it.
Chris Stefano
Well, he talks about basically what this.
Giannis Pappas
Podcast consists of his synopses with a chatgpt sluts.
Chris Stefano
And remember that they have a holographic. He said that there's a holographic nature to this universe. Like the whole thing's just a holographic hologram, which goes into what you said. Now, the real fun in this episode is what the CIA did with this kid's research.
Giannis Pappas
And you know what? What I think, because we're already at 41 minutes, what we're going to do is we will talk about the Stargate CIA program based on this dude's book. We will talk about that on the bonus episode this week.
Chris Stefano
You're saying you want to talk about that@patreon.com history hyenas.
Giannis Pappas
That's what I want to say. So I want to change it.
Chris Stefano
So you did a little thing. Where's that yarmulke? Yeah, I put it on. You just pulled an Oshko Ashkenazi because you got a little peanut head, but you got an Ashkenazi brain in that little. You have a little mini Ashkenazi brain.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, I just got screwed in and said, we're gonna do a little teaser. We want you to cough up five shekels.
Chris Stefano
What it is.
Giannis Pappas
Give us the money. Because if you got a teaser from the geezer.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Cause if you can't afford five shekels, then maybe you got to go listen to another podcast.
Chris Stefano
What it is. Cuz if you can't afford five shekels. And then that's probably why you think it's a good idea to vote for Mom Donnie. Just know it's a bad idea.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris Stefano
If you.
Giannis Pappas
If you don't cough up five shekels, you got no telling anybody what fucking countries they should go to.
Chris Stefano
Because I hope Mom Donnie just becomes all the candidates in one. And I hope day one, he has a red beret on and he goes and kills elderly people like Silwa Yeah, that's what I hope happened.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. You think you.
Chris Stefano
And then he kills elderly people like Cuomo. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
So we'll just talk about this kid today to warm you up for the Patreon, because the CIA did use what this guy was saying in the book and what he was stuck studying, and they tried to use it during the Cold War to see if remote viewing was possible. And actually there was a bunch of people in that. In that program that the CIA program that had like, crazy hits, meaning they actually did see things that it would be impossible to know.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. Now we're going to talk about all that@patreon.com history hyenas. And then we're also going to talk about. I've just thought this. We're also going to talk about the Chronovisor, which is what the. Is in the Vatican right now. It's in the base of the Vatican.
Giannis Pappas
And they think that they.
Chris Stefano
They can look back in time and see when Jesus actually existed. So we are just going to make it about the Crusades.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Haven't you. Are you starting to, like, figure, like, now? A lot of things people used to think were, like, quacky ideas. We're starting to find, like, yeah, hey, maybe a lot of this shit is true. Right?
Chris Stefano
Well, like even when they say, you know in ancient aliens, when they would talk about how the ancient Egyptians use vibration therapy to move the stones or vibration technology to move the stones and this and that and Easter island, there's no other way they could do it other than vibration. I'm starting to believe, like, it probably was true.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
Because they didn't have any. They. All they were doing was conducting to the higher energy. They had nothing else to distract them.
Giannis Pappas
That is a great point. Yeah, that is a great point. They were sitting around all day. They didn't have books to read. They didn't have porn to jerk off, nothing. They didn't have the Internet to scroll. They didn't have professional wrestling to become a fan when you're an adult of.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
They didn't have comic books.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
They didn't have sneakers to buy. I'm sorry, Nick.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Giannis Pappas
They didn't. You didn't have figurines to collect?
Chris Stefano
Nothing.
Giannis Pappas
All the finger sneakers, different stuff. Like there was nobody even collecting coins because there was no history yet to go, wow, this is.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. They also were eating vegetables all day and good raw meat. They had no preservatives in the food. They had nothing slowing them down.
Giannis Pappas
So that I believe it because you're actually right. That's probably how the pyramids were built, was they were able to like move with their mind. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense.
Chris Stefano
Well, that's what they say. People who go into that deep, deep, deep meditation nowadays, like the Buddhist monks, they say they can do all that stuff.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Because here's the thing too. They say that Jewish slaves built the pyramids.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
But like, what Jew do you know that's fit enough to carry a boulder? 0 out of 14.
Chris Stefano
I don't know.
Giannis Pappas
I mean, there's none even in professional sports. How are they going to carry a boulder? I'm supposed to believe that fucking Yitzhak Rabin.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Was picking up a boulder.
Chris Stefano
He did not.
Giannis Pappas
That's just not true.
Chris Stefano
And now when I was meditating, I thought of a new game that we could play and then we could all play this@patreon.comhistory.it gameplay two by two, presumably straight males, where each player, what we'll do is we're going to pull out our penis and stare at the other player. The one whose penis moves first is declared the loser and thus ridiculed and called gay for a minimum of two hours.
Giannis Pappas
And you wrote that down?
Chris Stefano
Well, it's a meme called dick chicken.
Giannis Pappas
Okay. Dick chicken. I like that. Yeah. Yeah, I like dick chicken. Yeah.
Chris Stefano
What do you think of that?
Giannis Pappas
I like it.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. So that's. We're going to play also@patreon.com history and we're going to talk about Gateway and we're just going to talk about this guy Bentov.
Giannis Pappas
Yes. So Bentov, like, I want to have a brew.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
I want to have a brute.
Chris Stefano
If there were bruises, if they had. If they had a fucking keg in there in the new studio.
Giannis Pappas
We should get a keg. Yeah, let's get a keg. Yeah. Yeah. You like beer?
Chris Stefano
I want to drink Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Big and bad. So this kid, right? So he started, I thought we're talking about. On Patreon, we're going to talk about the CIA program. So we're going to tell you a little bit about him. So he was this kid, right? And I think he was from Czechoslovakia.
Chris Stefano
But he was Israeli. It says Israeli born.
Giannis Pappas
No, he was. Oh, so was. No, he wasn't Israeli, but born. He moved to Israel. No.
Chris Stefano
Where was the kid born?
Giannis Pappas
He was born in Czechoslovakia.
Chris Stefano
Sure.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. And then he moved to Israel and during the war for independence, he. He went to Israel and he designed a rocket for them. Sick. So the kid was just One of these smart kids, he designs a rocket, then he moves to the States and he just. He gets all.
Chris Stefano
He actually invented the catheter, the cardiac catheter.
Giannis Pappas
Cardiac catheter. He invented that. Which was huge. That's huge.
Chris Stefano
Huge, Right.
Giannis Pappas
So you could just tell, like his genius ran the gamut. Right. Guys invented rockets. He's inventing a catheter that we still use today. And then he starts to get into breath work and meditation.
Chris Stefano
Right.
Giannis Pappas
And he starts to really believe how consciousness works. And he. He believes that consciousness connects to the universe and he believes it's more of a self transformation than having one's individual mind manipulated by another. He believes that. That, you know, these things are possible. That you can get answers by not learning more things, but by quieting your mind and tapping into knowledge. Yeah. So his work really bridged engineering, physics, psychology, and he married it with mysticism and spiritualism. And this kid just spent a lot of his time just meditating, and then he died like Richie Valens in a crash.
Chris Stefano
But on a commercial airline.
Giannis Pappas
Yes, commercial airline. A lot of conspiracy theorists think the CIA just killed them.
Chris Stefano
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They brought down a whole commercial airline to kill one guy.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Now people say his book is crazy.
Chris Stefano
That's why you. That's it. That should actually be. That should actually be the calling card for airlines like Spirit Airlines. Say no one will ever take down this commercial airline because no one important enough ever flies on.
Giannis Pappas
That's a good way to.
Chris Stefano
That's how Spirit should try to get more people. If you, you know, Delta, American, United States. Yeah, important people are flying that. But Spirit, nobody's flying on that. That's important.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, it's like, listen, you're basically on a Greyhound in the sky.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is. So we're not going to take it down.
Giannis Pappas
I mean, it's a bus that flies is what it is. I mean, the tickets are as cost of a bus ticket.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
It's really. It's like taking the MTA in the sky. Yeah, it really is there. You're not going to. You'll never get blown up, but there is a chance that you will get stabbed and get your Walkman stolen. If you fall asleep, it's just one. And I just call the phone a Walkman because I'm from the 80s.
Chris Stefano
You're from the 80s, and you're just. You're still hungover. Your brain's going a little slow. Ye. A little slow.
Giannis Pappas
I just said you get your Walkman because.
Chris Stefano
And I knew. I knew that you were having a fat date because you're wearing sweatpants, and you're wearing the sweatpants really high, high up on your ass.
Giannis Pappas
Because I got robbed once for a kid took my jacket and my Walkman, and then he gave me his jacket. It was a trade.
Chris Stefano
It was a trade off he did.
Giannis Pappas
He made it feel like it wasn't a robbery, but it was.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. And that's just what. Growing up in Brooklyn.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is. I was riding my bike once with a book bag, and in my book bag, I had a Nintendo 64. I was, like, 14. And my dad's child support cash.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
And. And some kid pushed me off my bike and stole my GT Performer, and I just started running away. And he didn't get the Nintendo 64 or the cash.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
But he did get my bike.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
And then I ran into the park, and I told my friends who were in the park that a kid just pushed me off the bike. Then we all went looking for him and beat up the wrong black kids.
Giannis Pappas
Ladder 14, it's just what you call a tale for Brooklyn.
Chris Stefano
It's just what it is. Just called Ridgewood in the 90s.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. That just was a different thing.
Chris Stefano
It was just a joke.
Giannis Pappas
So we'd like to this time to apologize to the random black kid who got wrongly profiled.
Chris Stefano
Sorry about that. If you listen to this.
Giannis Pappas
Sorry about that. Sorry about that. Wrong place, wrong time. Mistakes happen.
Chris Stefano
Mistakes happen.
Giannis Pappas
And in. In.
Chris Stefano
In defense, this was the 90s. This wasn't my choice. And for the five kids who beat you up did go on to become NYPD offices, but they were just 16 at the time. And actually, I think that's when the NYPD started recruiting them. Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
They said, these kids are good.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. We're not saying it was a good thing or bad thing. It's just something that happened, and it was unfortunate.
Chris Stefano
Unfortunate.
Giannis Pappas
And we just want to take this time to apologize to whoever that teenager was.
Chris Stefano
So sorry about that.
Giannis Pappas
Sorry about that. What we say is sorry about that. Yeah. It was a case of mistaken identification.
Chris Stefano
It was just a Ridgewood mishap.
Giannis Pappas
It's just something that goes wrong. Just like when the officers were in Times Square and they slammed James Blake, the tennis player, to the ground.
Chris Stefano
I remember that.
Giannis Pappas
You remember that?
Chris Stefano
Yes, I do. I remember that cop.
Giannis Pappas
They just threw him on the ground.
Chris Stefano
Yep.
Giannis Pappas
And he just goes, I'm James Blake, the tennis player. And they said, you fit the profile of the suspect. We're looking to yeah. Okay.
Chris Stefano
And he said, and the cops.
Giannis Pappas
You're gonna have cackle that.
Chris Stefano
And the cop said to me, goes, I don't watch tennis. I'm not.
Giannis Pappas
14. So there's a lot of cackling that's going to happen.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
It's what it is. But we are in tune.
Chris Stefano
We are in tune with the universe oscillating. We are just little oscillating devices. That's all we are. These meat vessels are oscillating off the conscious vibration happening above us.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Now, what was the name of this kid's book so you could go read it if you really want to get into it.
Chris Stefano
Had a book called Stalking the Wild Pendulum.
Giannis Pappas
Yes.
Chris Stefano
Mechanics of consciousness in 1960. 77, which is probably a good year now.
Giannis Pappas
I've read people who've read this book said they're blown away by this book.
Chris Stefano
So let's get it.
Giannis Pappas
I want to read it.
Chris Stefano
I want to read it. Should we start reading books on the Patreon?
Giannis Pappas
We should.
Chris Stefano
Every. Every, every. Let's read books.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. So this was.
Chris Stefano
Read a page from the Bible every episode.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah, this was. This was a book that.
Chris Stefano
This is.
Giannis Pappas
The CIA got really interested in this guy because of this book. And he argued that the body acts like an oscillator. And during certain states, like deep meditation, internal resonance aligns with the 7Hz r rhythm matching brain alpha rhythms and Earth's magnetic geo magnetic pulsations sync up.
Chris Stefano
It does. Meditation does work when you just meditate. It really does like recharge you or like, even if it's temporary. Absolutely. You really do get like every time after you meditate for 15, 20 minutes, you usually get 30, at least 30 good minutes.
Giannis Pappas
It's. It's the best.
Chris Stefano
Do you meditate before shows?
Giannis Pappas
I meditate. See, the thing about meditation, I learned the most about it from Novak Djokovic. That's with the guy that. Because he's big on that and you know, he's the greatest tennis player that ever lived. And tennis is such a mental game. I used to think meditation was something like you had to do, but it's not. It's just a way you have to be. So sometimes I'll do it for 30 seconds. Sometimes I do it when I'm driving. Sometimes I'll do it when I'm taking a shit. I do it like whenever. And all it is is just conscious breathing, just returning to your breath.
Chris Stefano
Right.
Giannis Pappas
Watching your thoughts. You don't have to sit in a room and meditate. Like it's like Yabrin used to do, right? What's his name? Yakov Shahirov.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
Whatever Yakov Smirnoff used to do, I don't think you have to do. You don't have to be like a pro. You just got to do a little conscious breathing, which means just think about your breath. Take a second to just focus on your breath. Do some deep breathing, and that's all you got to do.
Chris Stefano
We're all recycling cans. Yeah. Blue recycling cans.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. We're all fucking good for the environment.
Chris Stefano
That's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
That's what we are. Yeah. Yeah. So go read that book. It's very cool.
Chris Stefano
And we're going to get into the gateway experiments and the CIA stuff, which is really mind blowing at patreon.com history.
Giannis Pappas
Hyenas because the program is called Seagate. They spent $20 million to see if they could use people's brains to find out where the fucking ruskies were.
Chris Stefano
It's what it is.
Giannis Pappas
Where are these commie bastards?
Chris Stefano
And we found them. And as always, at the end of every episode, we like to read off the newest members of the Patreon who are over there having fun, who have just. Who are little oscillating devices who are connected to the conscious universe because they went to patreon.com history hyenas and they do not wear their towels under their armpits.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
They wear their towels around their waist or on their heads.
Giannis Pappas
Now let me ask you this question from a previous episode. The big fans out there have we discovered a way to open the portal to the universe's consciousness by taking a. And having dirty ass and having your asshole licked so you can feel those two emotions at the same time. Complete horror and a complete ecstasy at the same moment. Maybe that opens a portal to meet Jesus Christ himself.
Chris Stefano
It's possible. So here are the newest members of the matriarchy. We will of course pick a lucky winner. Beam balance and big part time program participant.
Giannis Pappas
I like that kid and I'm going to give him a drexer. Right off the bat he goes.
Chris Stefano
Beam balance and big.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah.
Chris Stefano
Part time program participant.
Giannis Pappas
That's a really good one. Like, you got to give that a.
Chris Stefano
Drexer now, Derek the Honduran.
Giannis Pappas
By the way, the fans, for some reason hate when we do a list reading with a guest, and I don't understand why.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. All right, so we won't have seen that.
Giannis Pappas
Why do they hate it so much?
Chris Stefano
I guess because the guest typically doesn't. They don't get the lingo get the lingo. So that. Yeah. Derek the Honduran.
Giannis Pappas
Then we got Eric the Honduran is cute. He's identifying himself for Ice.
Chris Stefano
Appreciate that. Is.
Giannis Pappas
That's a cooperative guy.
Chris Stefano
Yeah.
Giannis Pappas
I like I'm giving a chicken finger. Just because he's making. Making Ice's job easy.
Chris Stefano
Then we got syrup monkey too. Just trying to get Chrissy's glue off my face.
Giannis Pappas
Syrup monkey for to do a Canadian.
Chris Stefano
Yeah. So I guess. Yeah. He's saying I came on a Canadian kid's face.
Giannis Pappas
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris Stefano
Diego Sosa. Joe Pena. Come to Sweden. Butt plugs are on me.
Giannis Pappas
Put them on the list. Yeah.
Chris Stefano

Giannis Pappas
That's very nice. The Swedish kid who's got a. He's got a little business and he'll give us one. You on the.
Chris Stefano

Podcast: History Hyenas
Hosts: Chris Distefano & Yannis Pappas
Date: October 30, 2025
This episode is classic, "off the beam" History Hyenas, with Chris and Yannis in rare form—riffing as much about their personal misadventures, existential malaise, and fan shout-outs as their (eventually reached) historical topic. After meandering through tales of drunken escapades, weight gain camaraderie, masculinity self-doubt, and the hierarchy of Italian values, the boys ultimately deep-dived into the wild story of Yitzhak Bentov—a self-taught genius whose work inspired the CIA's Stargate remote viewing program and whose philosophies about consciousness get the Hyenas waxing philosophical.
The tone is fast, irreverent, and as always, the line between history and standup is thin and blurry. This is one for fans who love the blend of personal oversharing, running gags, and a side of mind-bending historical science.
Timeframe: 02:02–09:00
"We're twinning right now. Like some girls cycle up with their periods, we're cycling up with our weights."
– Yannis, 02:20
Timeframe: 07:54–08:41
"Guys who are voting for Zoran get out of the shower and they wrap the towel under their armpits."
– Yannis, 08:17
Timeframe: 14:38–19:28
“Laughter at comedy is defined as disarming fear. It’s an antidote for fear and is born from fear.”
– Yannis, reading his text to Chris, 18:18
Timeframe: 12:57–15:01 & 43:41–44:34
Timeframe: Interspersed (26:44–37:37)
“So what happens is … in the Islamic faith … what you can do is you’re allowed to denounce your religion … if it’s to push the Muslim agenda forward… which is what some people think maybe Zoran Mamdani could be doing.”
– Chris, 35:13
Timeframe: 46:08–54:45
"He felt that consciousness was something you could tune into. Your brain was more like a radio antenna … consciousness is just there.”
– Yannis, 47:58
Timeframe: 41:36–51:50
Timeframe: 59:16–61:04
“Meditation is not something you do, it’s a way you have to be. Sometimes I’ll do it for 30 seconds … All it is is just conscious breathing, returning to your breath.”
– Yannis, 60:16
| Timestamp | Segment | |---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 02:02–09:00 | Off the Beam: Fat, Old, and Relatable—Physical and Mental States | | 07:54–08:41 | Masculinity and the Towel Test (Plus Political Jabs) | | 14:38–19:28 | Depression, Brain Fog, and Comedy as Pain Alchemy | | 19:28–21:25 | Aristotle’s Paradox and the Smallness of Existence | | 26:44–37:37 | Zoran Mamdani, 'Taqiya', and Identity Politics | | 41:36–51:50 | Yitzhak Bentov, Ashkenazi Genius, and the CIA Stargate Project | | 59:16–61:04 | Meditation Practice and Mindfulness Advice | | 61:44–73:00 | Extended Patreon Name Read (Fan Shoutouts & Community Banter) |
This episode is quintessential Hyenas: erratic, brutally honest, and packed with both smart and sophomoric humor. The promised “wild science” makes a somewhat late entrance but pays off for conspiracy and speculative science fans, especially with the Bentov/Stargate/CIA narrative. Throughout, the personal banter and nostalgia for the show's OG fanbase shine, asking listeners to join the community (and to wear their towels properly, like real men).
For hardcore history? Hit the Patreon for the Stargate deep dive.
For character-driven, hysterical hangout pod? This one is a riotous, messy must-listen.
“If you’re listening to this podcast and you’re not on the Patreon, then you wear your towel under your armpits.”
— Chris, 45:40
