The Hyenas head to Renaissance Italy to break down the life, lies, and legendary power plays of Niccolò Machiavelli. The boys dive into *The Prince*, political backstabbing, war, betrayal, and why Machiavelli’s name became synonymous with manipulation centuries later. Was he an evil genius, a realist, or just the first guy honest enough to explain how power actually works?
Chris and Yannis also spiral into modern politics, corrupt rulers, Italian history, psychopath leaders, and how Machiavelli’s ideas still run the world today. From the Medici family to modern media spin — the Hyenas connect the dots in only the way they can.
It’s history, chaos, philosophy, and pure CTE.
