About this episode

The episode discusses Chris' wedding planning, a celebrity encounter with Kit Harington, and the cultural significance of food in celebrations.

This week on History Hyenas, the boys tackle the most important historical event of 2026: Chris' wedding. From planning the big day to debating what makes a perfect wedding, Yannis and Chris break down the chaos, traditions, and inevitable family drama. Chris also recounts a chance encounter with Game of Thrones star Kit Harington that left him questioning his own attractiveness. Was it admiration, intimidation, or both? Plus, the Hyenas explore the deep connection Greeks and Italians have to food, family, and community. Why do some of life's biggest moments happen around a dinner table? The boys discuss how meals become the centerpiece of celebrations, weddings, holidays, and everyday life—and why breaking bread together remains one of the strongest bonds in any culture. Wedding planning, celebrity encounters, and a deep dive into the social power of food—it's a classic Hyenas episode. #HistoryHyenas #ChrisDistefano #YannisPappas #KitHarington #GameOfThrones #GreekCulture #ItalianCulture #FoodAndFamily #ComedyPodcast Join our Patreon at 👇 https://www.patreon.com/historyhyenas/ Subscribe to the poddy woddy Our YouTube!: https://bit.ly/2ARdDOz HH Clips:https://bit.ly/2YaK2Z8…
