The 2022 Ig-Nobel Prize Winners
Established in 1991, the Ig Nobels are a good-natured parody of the Nobel Prizes; they honor "achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think" - a designation that Jeff and Anthony think applies to We Have Concerns as well. So each year, the guys take a look at their favorite award winners. This year, scorpion constipation, frustrating legal jargon, ancient Mayan enemas, and more!
