All about Tony's COVID adventures

The IRS Demands Refunds From the Dead, Bizarre 911 Calls, and Dorothy Parker's Ashes | This is True Really News Ep. 191

Welcome back to another episode of This is True Really News with Scott Combs and Tony Verkanis, where all the news you’re about to hear is true... really. As far as you know.

In Episode 191, we're diving into the absolute absurdity of the IRS inadvertently sending stimulus checks to deceased individuals—and their bold expectation to get that money back. Plus, we react to some of the most ridiculous non-emergency police calls on record (seriously, who calls the cops over a McDonald's milkshake not being thick enough?).

We also trace the strange, decades-long, cross-country journey of legendary humorist Dorothy Parker’s ashes, and finally uncover the truth about vegan meat substitutes (hint: it's pronounced "Satan").
