In this episode of the Things I Learned Last Night Podcast, Tim and Jaron talk about the alleged Kersey Time Slip incident, where a group of British teenage boys in 1957 got lost while on a training exercise in the woods and stumbled upon what seemed to be a ghost town version of the village Kersey. The town appeared abandoned, the church bell tower was missing, and the boys looked through the windows of some buildings and saw disturbing things like decaying pig carcasses.

Feeling ill, the boys quickly left and seemed to return back to their normal time when they heard the church bells ringing again. The story wasn't taken seriously at the time, but years later, one of the boys told his account to an author researching paranormal events. The author corroborated some of the details and theorized the boys may have briefly traveled back to the 14th century during the time of the plague, which would explain the abandoned town and their sickness. The incident has been used to support ideas around time travel and Einstein's block universe theory, which states that the past, present, and future all exist concurrently.

This comedy podcast episode covers the tragic 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders, where seven people died after taking cyanide-laced Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules. In September 1982, 12-year-old Mary Kellerman died after taking Tylenol for a cold. That same day, Adam Janus died after taking Tylenol. His family members also took Tylenol and died. In total, seven people across Chicago died after ingesting the tainted capsules. The police warned people over bullhorns not to take Tylenol. Johnson & Johnson recalled over 30 million bottles and stopped production. They introduced new safety packaging to prevent tampering. The FBI investigated suspects like James Lewis, who sent an extortion letter, and Roger Arnold, who bragged about having cyanide. But they never found the perpetrator. It led to significant changes in packaging and safety seals for all consumable products. The case remains unsolved after 40 years.

In the mid-1800s, paleontology was a new and exciting field. Only a handful of dinosaur species had been discovered, offering tantalizing clues about these ancient beasts. Two ambitious paleontologists, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, raced to uncover new fossils and name new species, igniting a bitter rivalry known as the “Bone Wars.”

Rudolf Diesel invented an efficient new engine that revolutionized transportation and industry. But his life ended abruptly under mysterious circumstances. Diesel was born in 1858 in Paris to German parents. As a young man, he studied engineering against his family's wishes. After working on refrigeration systems, Diesel became fascinated with engines and their inefficiency. At the time, steam engines were only about 10% efficient and wasted most of their fuel's energy. However, Diesel's mysterious death has fueled much speculation. In 1913, Diesel was traveling by ship to England to meet with a company interested in producing his engines. But his cabin was found empty in the morning, and his hat and coat were found neatly folded near a railing.

Danny Casolaro was a writer and poet who took on freelance technology news columns to pay the bills. In the 1980s, he was assigned to investigate a lawsuit between a small company called Casolaro and the U.S. Department of Justice. Casolaro had created a database software called PROMIS that was licensed to the DOJ. But somehow the software ended up being sold to intelligence agencies in Canada and Israel, with Casolaro seeing none of the profits. Casolaro sued, claiming the DOJ had stolen their software.

About this Episode

Dan Burisch supposedly worked on Project Looking Glass at the secretive Area 51 base in Nevada. According to him, Burisch was tasked with studying an alien artifact called the Looking Glass, which could allegedly see into the past, present and future. The key to operating it? Mysterious ancient Sumerian cylinder seals that the government had acquired. As Burisch and his colleagues used the Looking Glass, they noticed something startling - all possible future timelines appeared to converge on December 21, 2012. This matched theories about the Mayan calendar predicting the end of the world on that day.

About this Episode

Beaches are disappearing around the world at an alarming rate. But this is no natural phenomenon - these sandy shorelines are being deliberately stolen in the dead of night by ruthless sand cartels. I recently listened to a podcast that shed light on this disturbing trend, uncovering some shocking revelations in the process. In 2008 at Coral Sands Beach in Jamaica, when locals arrived one morning to find their beloved beach almost completely devoid of sand. All that remained were tire tracks from heavy construction vehicles, indicating that around 500 truckloads of sand had been pilfered overnight.

Andre Stander had an unusual career path. He grew up wanting to be a police officer like his father and achieved that goal quickly, rising to the rank of captain by age 26. However, Stander soon grew bored with his job and started robbing banks in the 1970s as a way to get an adrenaline rush. Stander would fly to other cities in South Africa over his lunch break, put on a disguise of a fake mustache and wig, calmly rob a bank, then return to work and even help investigate the very robberies he had just committed! He managed to pull off a string of these lunchtime bank jobs for years without getting caught.

The history of alcohol consumption in America is a fascinating one, full of cultural shifts, criminal enterprises, and larger-than-life characters. In the early days of America, alcohol was an integral part of daily life and work. People drank constantly throughout the day, and it was totally normal and accepted to drink on the job. This started to raise concerns among some groups, especially conservative Christian women. They formed temperance movements protesting alcohol consumption, with the famous axe-wielding Carrie Nation leading raids on saloons to destroy liquor supplies. Despite their efforts, most people thought nationwide prohibition would never actually happen.

Billy Mitchell was once the undisputed king of arcade gaming. Back in the 1980s and 90s, he held world records in classic games like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Centipede. With his signature mullet and American flag tie, Mitchell was the face of competitive gaming before e-sports was even a thing. But in recent years, Mitchell's legacy has come under scrutiny. There are allegations that some of his high scores were faked using emulators rather than achieved on original arcade hardware. The controversy has sparked lawsuits and debate about whether Mitchell is still worthy of his "King of Kong" title.
