Join Scot Combs and Tony Verkinnes for a jam-packed Mailbag edition of This Is True Really News! In Episode 215, we break down the story of a Florida postal worker who took package protection way too far by running a kid off the road. We also look at the chaos in St. Louis where loose monkeys and AI-generated hoaxes are confusing officials, and laugh at a tennis pro who celebrated his Australian Open win before the match was actually over.

The guys also discuss the supreme irony of a breathalyzer designer getting busted for a DUI, a prudish chatbot at Virgin Money, and the physics of "square tires" in freezing temperatures. Plus, we dive into a heavy dose of pop culture banter covering Firefly, Fallout, Justified, and the cancellation of Moonhaven. Finally, we tease next week's New Music Monday track from The Tipsy T-Cells.
