This Is True Really News Mailbag Episode 198 brings you the strangest stories that didn't make the main show! Hosts Scot Combs and Tony Verkinnes dive into AI robots getting too smart for their own good, bizarre historical deaths that will make you question everything, and Ghana's incredible fantasy coffins that are almost too wild to believe.

From a screaming goat mistaken for a woman in distress to inventors who really should have tested their parachutes more thoroughly, this mailbag episode delivers the perfect mix of weird news and genuine laughs. Plus, hear about the guy who married a stranger after yelling at him in a parking lot - because sometimes the best love stories start with a good argument!

The hosts also share their ongoing battles with aging, lost keys, and why Constitution Day matters more than you think. It's 30 minutes of pure entertainment that proves truth really is stranger than fiction.
