About this episode

Chris and Yannis discuss the Knicks' championship celebrations and explore the Shroud of Turin along with the intersection of sports and politics.

The Hyenas are back! This week, Chris and Yannis break down the Knicks' long-awaited championship, the wild celebrations that followed, and why every sports victory somehow ends with people climbing poles and setting things on fire. Then they revisit the Shroud of Turin, exploring new evidence, fresh theories, and whether history's most famous relic is any closer to being solved. Plus: UFC at the White House. The boys dive into the bizarre collision of politics, sports, and spectacle as Dana White and Donald Trump bring the octagon to America's most famous address. Championship chaos. Ancient mysteries. Cage fights on government property.
