The boys are BACK and diving headfirst into one of the wildest economic survival stories in modern history — Cuba’s “Special Period.” When the Soviet Union collapsed, Cuba lost its lifeline overnight, and what followed was a full-blown national struggle to survive. Chris and Yanni break down how the Cuban people adapted with insane ingenuity—bikes over cars, blackouts as a lifestyle, and a whole lot of creative hustling just to eat. It’s history, it’s chaos, it’s classic Hyenas.

And just when you think it couldn’t get more unhinged… the legendary Tim Dillon calls in to stir the pot.

It’s laughs, it’s facts, it’s a little bit of “what the hell is going on?” — exactly how you like it.
