The level of the show just keeps rising (or sinking, depending on who you ask). Welcome to Episode 1049 of This is True Really News with Scot Combs and Tony Verkinnes!

This week, we dive into the "Age of Disclosure"—where government officials are ready to admit aliens are here, provided it doesn't mess with their pensions. But forget the "buried leads" in the documentaries; our investigative team found the real evidence where it matters most: Yelp.

Inside this episode:

• Extraterrestrial Yelp Reviews: From the "sentient fungus" at the Golden Corral Chocolate Wonderfall to the Great Hive Mind’s gastrointestinal uprising at Taco Bell, the aliens are here, and they are not impressed with our bean water.

• History’s Deadliest & Oddest Queens: We look back at the "monstrous" Margaret of Anjou, the exercise-obsessed (and incorrectly height-documented) Empress Elisabeth of Austria, and the truly terrifying Ranavalona I of Madagascar, who cut her population in half just for the "fear" of it.

• Puppy Seatbelts & Physics: A Louisiana man gets slapped with a ticket because his dog wasn't buckled in. Is it a safety issue or just a new frontier for municipal revenue? Either way, good luck buckling in a Great Pyrenees.

Slink into the satin-lined mailbag with us for Episode #224 of This is True Really News! This week, things get feather-ruffling, legally questionable, and a little bit gassy.

First, we debut our newest (and perhaps most necessary) satirical sponsor: The Pickleball Peace Treaty Mediator. If your local kitchen line has become a suburban battleground, 1-800-PPBM is here to help you conciliate before you call your lawyer.

In this episode:

• The Flamingo Heist: A shirtless, drunken Canadian on vacation in Las Vegas takes "loving wildlife" way too far. From chasing birds for selfies to "humiliating" a flamingo in his hotel room, Mitchell Grant Fairbarn is finding out that what happens in Vegas... leads to animal abuse charges.

• Paperwork Judo: How does a Liberian national on a terminated student visa enlist in the National Guard, go AWOL, and then get hired as a Minnesota Corrections Officer? We explore the baffling case of Morris Brown.

• Mailbag Gains: We revisit the infamous "American Airlines Fart Incident." Is Janet afraid of flying, or is she just afraid of gaseous humans in a pressurized tube? (We’re betting on the latter.)

"Think of it as a tactical investigation... for your tailbone." Welcome to This is True Really News EP 1048, the podcast where the headlines are 100% real and the common sense is 100% optional. Today, Scott Combs and Tony Vercanez dive into the world of Oklahoma's new anti-furry legislation, where the penalty for "purporting to be an imaginary species" at school might just involve a trip to Animal Control.

We also head to Stoughton, Wisconsin, for a masterclass in high-tech surveillance. Forget organ transplants and Amazon packages—drones are finally being used for their true purpose: catching 4K high-definition footage of a serial park pooper.

On today’s menu of madness:

• Oklahoma HB 3084: Leave the cat ears at home, kids. The state is ready to call the pound on your "furry offspring."

• The Stoughton Poopstigator: How a 46-year-old woman’s daily ritual turned into a tactical drone mission. Big Brother isn't just watching—he's establishment a "dumping timeline."

• Exercise Obtundity: Why York, England is putting up signs that basically tell the public to be "dull and unaware." (Finally, a government program Tony can get behind!)

• Newton, Iowa’s Ego Trip: A mayor decides that criticizing city council is "defamatory" and hands out handcuffs like party favors.

• Qualified Immunity vs. The Constitution: A federal judge reminds local officials that "because I said so" doesn't actually trump the First Amendment.

"19 men arrived at the airport for what could have been a normal day of flying..." Welcome to This is True Really News EP 1047, where we prove that sometimes the mainstream media is more satirical than we are. Today, Scott Combs and Tony Vercanez dissect a masterclass in "creative framing" from CNN, who recently described a pair of nail-bomb enthusiasts like they were the stars of a Disney coming-of-age indie flick.

But wait, there's more! We’re diving into the high-stakes world of horse breeding, where the only thing faster than the colts are the terrible puns owners use to ruin an announcer's day. From "Naysayer" to the legendary "Odor in the Court," we’ve got the full pedigree of comedy.

Highlights of today’s descent into the ridiculous:

• The CNN Fan Fiction Award: How a "Mother of Satan" nail bomb became a "change in life circumstances" in a deleted social post. It turns out "freelance explosive technician" doesn't look great on a LinkedIn algorithm.

• The Horse Name Hall of Fame: Why you should never let a psychologist (or a pun-enthusiast) name a foal. Meet the horses named "Ha Ha Ha," "Why Kick a Moo Cow," and the unfortunately birthed "Odor in the Court."

• California’s Runaway Train: The High-Speed Rail project is now $80 billion over budget, a decade late, and trying to pass a law making it illegal to look at its "weaknesses." It's a bold new era of transparency: if you can't see the records, you can't be mad!

• The Great Wife-Carrying Race: Inspired by 19th-century Finnish village pillaging—now with more spandex, Hawaiian shorts, and rucksacks filled with flour to meet the minimum weight requirements.

• Alfred E. Neuman for President: Why the Mad Magazine mascot is looking better than the current options. What, us worry?

"Carpet for your ONLY hole?" We aren't making it up—we're just reading the signs.

Welcome to This is True Really News Mailbag #223, the only podcast where the news is weird, the commentary is questionable, and the hosts are only three cups of coffee away from total insanity.

In this episode, we dive into the deep end of the Florida news pool where a woman was ticketed for using her cell phone while driving... despite not having a right hand to hold it with. We also tackle the mystery of the "Meat Bird," explore why you should never microwave your children (even if they're acting like nuggets), and try to decipher the most confusing grocery store signs in history.

Highlights of today’s descent into madness:

• The Florida "No-Handed" Ticket: A deputy with "eagle eyes" sees a phone in a hand that doesn't exist.

• Graphic Design Fails: Why you should read your window signs before you paste them up—unless you’re selling hole-carpeting services.

• The Produce Paradox: Is it an onion? A potato? Or a watermelon? The box says yes.

• Culinary Confusion: Identifying the elusive "Meat Bird" and why "Porn and Beans" was a very unfortunate typo.

• Stripper Stories & Shuffle Dancing: From interview flashbacks to neighborhood dance groups with questionable names.

• International Injustice: Why Australia’s judicial system is just as wonderfully "jacked up" as ours.

A 75-year-old man in Georgia tried to open a bag of chips with a lighter. The result? 75% of his body burned and a lesson in snack-food flammability. 🔥

Welcome to Episode 1046 of This is True Really News with Scott Combs and Tony Verkanis. Today, we’re covering the stories that make you question the survival of the species, from pressurized cabins turned into gas chambers to the most "dignified" genital impact event in Scottish history.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The American Airlines "Fart Man": A flight from Phoenix to Austin was forced back to the gate after a passenger decided to stage an olfactory protest. We discuss the limits of cabin air circulation and the bravery of flight attendants.

• The "Poopy Police" of Guelph: Jonathan Puddle took his daughter to coffee in Ontario, only to become the face of a provincial manhunt after a "keen" stranger suspected human trafficking. 🇨🇦

• The Flammable Chip Crisis: Why you should always reach for the scissors instead of the Bic lighter when snack time rolls around. (Hint: Potatoes are basically fuel).

• The Grand Finale in Glasgow: A local resident invited 100 people to Queens Park to watch them receive a full-force boot to the "gentlemen bits" as a farewell to their anatomy—complete with a live flute performance of The Last Post. 🎺

• Firefly & The Legacy of Ron Glass: A brief moment of sanity discussing why some TV magic shouldn't be rebooted.

What happens when a police AI watches too much Disney? You get a report claiming a Sergeant magically transformed into a frog. 🐸

Welcome to Episode 1045 of This is True Really News with Scott Combs and Tony Verkanis. Today, we’re unraveling the most bizarre headlines of the week, from "Vibe-based" law enforcement in Tennessee to a corporate stalking scandal involving funeral wreaths and bloody pig masks.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Ghost DUI Pioneer: Former Trooper Aza Pearl and the 41 cases dismissed after "drunk" drivers blew a perfect 0.00. Apparently, in Tennessee, being too sober is just suspicious.

• AI vs. The Princess and the Frog: A Utah police department’s new AI report-writer gets confused by background TV noise and files a report about a biological metamorphosis mid-investigation.

• The Birds (Gregg’s Edition): Hungry crows in Southwest London are terrorizing bakery patrons for their sausage rolls. Is it time to call in the falconers? 🦅

• Days of Yore: A brief, confusing detour into the Lone Ranger, the Green Hornet, and why "made-up pandemics" were a vibe.

Whether you're here for the well-thought-out snark or just to find out if being a "charming swamp prince" helps you get out of a ticket, we've got you covered.
