Summary

The podcast tells the story of Kevin McCallister, a young boy who gets accidentally left behind when his family goes on a Christmas trip to France. While home alone, Kevin has to fend off two burglars called the “Wet Bandits,” who are trying to rob his house. Kevin sets up creative booby traps like heating doorknobs, putting ornaments by windows, and greasing the stairs to stop the bandits. The bandits keep trying to break in despite getting injured by the traps. Eventually, Kevin leads them to his treehouse and cuts the zip line, causing them to fall. His neighbor rescues him, and the police arrest the bandits. Meanwhile, Kevin’s mom is desperately trying to get back home to him. In the end, she arrives home just as Kevin has cleaned up the traps and decorated them for Christmas. Kevin managed to cleverly defend his home and catch the notorious burglars through his resourcefulness. 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.
