Summary

Ron Jones was a fun and popular history teacher at Cubberley High School. One day, a student asked him how people in Germany could follow someone like Hitler. Ron wanted to answer that question through a Social Experiment. He set simple rules. Students had to greet him in a special way, sit quietly, and ask questions using three words or fewer. Jones promised good grades if they followed his rules. The students quickly obeyed, and as quickly as they obeyed, the experiment got out of hand. 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.
