The Bad Idea Team returns with a story of bizarre science - as well as some quick announcements about No Bad Ideas for the rest of 2020!

Zach hits Sarah and Gabriel with a sampling of bad ideas that have been honored by the Ig Nobels, the long-established spoof price for... let's call it interesting scientific pursuits! The team turns the concept on its head, devising a pitch for a film about the overly intense scientist who gets put in charge of the awards themselves! All of that, plus: off-the-beaten path science, Flat-Earthers, literal fires, the new funder in town, and fake awards for silly science.
