About this episode

Simon Rex joins the History Hyenas to discuss his career and share a surprising history fact.

Simon Rex pulls up to the History Hyenas studio and it’s pure chaos. The certified hottie with a body breaks down his wild early days at MTV, his unexpected music career, and how he made the jump into legit serious acting. Plus—plot twist—Simon flips the script and actually schools Chris and Yanni with a history fact the boys somehow never knew (yes, it gets WILD). It’s laughs, glow-ups, and a little education (don’t get used to it). #HistoryHyenas #SimonRex #ComedyPodcast #MTV #Acting #StandUpComedy #ChrisDistefano #YannisPappas #PodcastLife #Funny Support our sponsors: Use Discount Code “HYENAS” to claim your FREE JumpStart Trial Bag at https://RuffGreens.com Download the Ava app, and when you join using MY promo code HYENAS, you’ll get 20% off your first year—monthly or annual, your choice.
