    Not all superheroes live in comic books. One of them walked the streets of Seattle, in full costume, calling himself Phoenix Jones. While his origin was rooted in protecting the innocent, his story took many unexpected turns. This is the tale of how one man attempted to fight crime and ultimately blurred the line between hero and villain. Phoenix Jones wanted to protect his city. He believed one person could make a difference. But his story serves as a warning: when you blur the line between justice and obsession, even heroes can fall. In the end, Phoenix Jones became a symbol of the complexities inherent in real-life heroism.

    Elmer McCurdy | Real Dead Guy Found on TV Show Set
    Jul 22 2025
    Elmer McCurdy was a failed outlaw whose story didn’t end with his death—it only got weirder. After a string of explosive robbery attempts that went hilariously wrong, McCurdy met his end in a shootout with law enforcement. But instead of being buried and forgotten, his body began a journey stranger than fiction. For decades, McCurdy’s embalmed corpse was mistaken for a wax figure and passed through carnivals, haunted houses, and even a movie set. This bizarre true story of crime, deception, and one unforgettable corpse will leave you questioning where history ends and legend begins.

  • Pepsi Jet | Pepsi’s $37 Million Bet, It Almost Backfired

    Pepsi Jet | Pepsi’s $37 Million Bet, It Almost Backfired
    Jul 15 2025
    In the 1990s, Pepsi ran one of the wildest marketing campaigns ever. The company offered “Pepsi Points” for drinking their soda. People could collect these points and trade them for branded items like T-shirts and sunglasses. But one bold TV commercial took things too far—it ended with a teenager landing a military jet at school. The cost? Seven million Pepsi Points. It was meant as a joke. But not everyone saw it that way. 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.

  • Hitchbot | The Robot That Died Trying to Make Friends

    Hitchbot | The Robot That Died Trying to Make Friends
    Jul 8 2025
    In 2013, two Canadian professors set out to answer a strange question: Can robots trust humans? The result was a robot named Hitchbot. It wasn’t high-tech or futuristic-looking. In reality, it looked more like a child’s craft project. But its mission was serious: to travel across countries using only the kindness of strangers. Hitchbot was a mix of pool noodles, a bucket, rain boots, and a talking head powered by AI. It couldn’t walk or move on its own. Instead, it stuck out its thumb and waited to be picked up by passing drivers. The robot had one goal: to hitchhike across a country from one side to the other. The idea wasn’t just about travel. It was a social experiment to see how people treated a helpless, friendly robot. Hitchbot utilized AI to request rides, engage in small talk, and share updates on social media.
