This Is True Really News Mailbag Episode 200 is here! Hosts Scot Combs and Tony Verkinnes celebrate this milestone episode with bizarre news stories from around the globe. New Zealand's fierce bird election crowns an unexpected winner - the Maori Falcon takes Bird of the Year in a contest complete with campaign managers, meme battles, and dance routines. Meanwhile, UK police demand social media apologies without explaining the offense, and a wallaby is hopping loose through the streets of Berlin.
The guys also dive into listener mail about airplane airbags (spoiler: engineers have concerns), discuss why hemorrhoids should be called asteroids, debate Florence Pugh's acting talents, and share hilarious kangaroo encounter stories. Plus, deep thoughts on Aristotle's views on courage, and multiple interpretations of what "MIB" really stands for.
