  • The War of 1812: America's Most Pointless War?

    The War of 1812: America's Most Pointless War?
    Sep 29 2026
    Ever wondered how a war can end a full month before its biggest, bloodiest battle even happens? Welcome to the War of 1812 — history's most confusing "second war for independence." Jaron and Tim go deep on the War of 1812 — the war everybody's heard of and nobody actually understands. This is the "second war for independence," a messy tangle where Great Britain was still throwing its weight around 30 years after the Revolution, kidnapping American sailors right off their ships through a wild policy called impressment, seizing entire trade vessels, and quietly puppeteering a Native American confederacy across the Midwest. Meanwhile Napoleon's going ham across Europe, Britain's fighting the Luddites, and the young United States is getting squeezed from every direction. The guys trace it all from the Louisiana Purchase to the burning of Washington, the New England states nearly breaking away at the Hartford Convention, and the almost comically tragic Battle of New Orleans — a massive American victory fought two weeks after the peace treaty was already signed, because news traveled so slowly nobody knew the war was over. Along the way you'll get the secret unfinished vault behind Abraham Lincoln's head on Mount Rushmore, the real story behind the Star-Spangled Banner, and a heroic amount of accordion, tuba, and Guitar Hero talent-show tangents. It's history, it's chaos, it's why the modern world is so much less stabby than it used to be. Things I Learned Last Night is an educational comedy podcast where best friends Jaron Myers and Tim Stone talk about random topics and have fun all along the way.

  • Trustor | The Man Who Bought a Company With Its Own Money

    Trustor | The Man Who Bought a Company With Its Own Money
    Sep 22 2026
    What if you could buy an entire company without spending a single dollar of your own money — by using the company's own cash to pay for itself? Ever wondered if you could buy a company using that company's own money? In the summer of 1997, a group of European businessmen did exactly that — and it's one of the wildest financial cons you've never heard of. This week the guys dig into the Trustor scandal, a mind-bending corporate takeover masterminded from behind bars by a Danish tax attorney turned convicted fraudster named Joachim Posner, the "ghost" who talked through his cousin so no one would know he was involved. Using a five-day payment gap and a loophole in loosened 90s European regulations, the crew took controlling shares of the investment firm Trustor, funneled the company's own assets through a fresh Barclays account, and paid the previous owner with his own money. Meanwhile two of the conspirators fled to the French Riviera and torched 50 million euros in two months — matching Ferraris (one immediately lost), 408 bottles of champagne, a yacht with a helicopter pad, and buying out an entire Versace store down to the light bulbs. It's absurd, it's insane, and it ends with plastic surgery in Brazil, a decade on the run, and a Netflix documentary confession. If you like learning and laughing a whole lot while you do, this one's a wild ride.

  • Prospera | Rich People Trying to Takeover Honduras

    Prospera | Rich People Trying to Takeover Honduras
    Sep 15 2026
    What if a billionaire could just... buy a chunk of an island, wall it off, and write his own laws? No pesky government, no red tape, no rules. Ever wondered what happens when a Nobel Prize-winning economist, a 16-year-old's sci-fi novel, and a pile of crypto billionaires collide on a beautiful island in Honduras? This week Jaron and Tim dive into Prospera — a real-life "charter city" on Roatan where you don't just move in, you sign an "agreement of coexistence," pay laughably tiny taxes, and literally pick which nation's regulations you want to live under. It sounds like a libertarian dream until you learn how an ancestral village called Crawfish Rock got tricked into signing away their land, why the community fought back and elected a president who campaigned on shutting it down, and how the whole thing survived anyway thanks to buried contract clauses, international investment treaties, and a jaw-dropping $10.7 billion lawsuit — roughly two-thirds of Honduras's entire annual budget. Along the way you'll hear about taser-knife fights, unregulated gene therapies, Bitcoin as legal tender, cartoon-villain investors like Peter Thiel and Roger Stone, and the genuinely unsettling movement to try this on U.S. National Parkland. It's a wild, funny, occasionally rage-inducing look at what "no rules" actually costs — and who ends up paying for it.
