This week, 2 Ideas, 2 Furious (at idiots who don’t think things through) and some news!

We’re changing up the format of the show so that you get two episodes of NBI every week, on Mondays and on Thursdays; and each episode we’ll have just five (5!) minutes to turn a couple ideas into good stories. We think this will give you more ideas for your metaphorical buck - four instead of three per week - allow episodes to be a more manageable, commute-friendly 20-30 minutes in length, and lead to more hilarity as we scramble to turn the most ill-advised thoughts humanity’s ever had into good stories.

Case in point, we start this episode off with Sarah, who issues us an Israeli court case that spirals into a feel-good short film about misunderstandings and language barriers, about to take the festival circuit by 🌩️. Then, Gabriel brings us an extreme vision of natural law, which leads to an action movie with a Cabin In The Woods-style twist.

Plus: wars of random attrition, the emoji code, the reappearance of Gritty McDark, up to 1,000 crocodiles, and 💃💃🍾?

The No Bad Ideas Podcast is the creation of Gabriel Urbina, Sarah Shachat, and Zach Valenti, three writer and artist-types who, in order to stay fresh creatively, have an excuse to hang out with each other once a week, and check in on what they're working on, take a terrible idea they found on the Internet each week and turn it into a compelling narrative. Or as close as they can get in 30 minutes.

If you're someone trying to be creative yourself or even if you just appreciate a good story, you'll enjoy listening to Zach, Sarah, and Gabriel figure out how to make sense of the best (or worst?) absurdities the internet has to offer. We guarantee there have definitely been worse ideas.
