Benefits of Implantable Microchips

The three things men need to carry are phone, wallet, and keys. A sub-dermal microchip could eliminate 2 of those 3 things, and could also do other cool stuff, like store your customized settings for smart appliances. And security issues don't really matter because you're always carrying a cell phone anyway. The biggest downside is that somebody might cut it out of your body to steal it

Comedy Bracket Challenge

A standup comedy contest where comics compete one-on-one in a tournament bracket. Each night, 8 comics compete in 3 rounds, until a winner for the night is declared. After 8 shows, the 8 past winners compete in the same fashion to declare an ultimate winner. The first two rounds of the night are decided by overall audience applause immediately after the two competing comics perform. The last round of the night is decided by 7 pseudo-random audience members, who are chosen to be voters because they do not appear to be brought to the show by either of the two comics who made it to the final round, thus ensuring a more honest vote

Bad Omen Cookies

Fortune cookies which give you a bad fortune (for the sake of humor), such as "someone you love is gonna die soon", "you'll meet the woman of your dreams, but nightmares are also dreams", or a creepy picture of Bill Cosby's smiling face

Comedy Night Videogame Livestream

A standup comedy show on the Internet using the standup comedy videogame "Comedy Night" and the videogame livestreaming website Twitch. The show (which will probably be called "Nerdy and Dirty") will have a lineup of real standup comics. The comics will appear as avatars in the "Comedy Night" videogame. On Twitch, they'll also appear as avatars, possibly with additional video of their real faces as a picture-in-picture, and possibly with an additional pre-show interview. The audience will be real people, either the audience from the "Comedy Night" videogame (who can heckle), or, if the comics are performing in a real comedy venue in real life, the audience from that venue

Juggalo Sitcom

A sitcom about a group of young juggalos (fans of the band "Insane Clown Posse", aka "ICP") growing up in the mid to late '90s. It would include things the wild and chaotic "Gathering of the Juggalos" concerts, backyard wrestling, and the political and pop culture context of ICP and the 1990s, such as music censorship, Columbine, and a feud with Eminem

Cat-A-Comb

A pyramid or box-shaped structure that you put over a cat litterbox, which has an opening on the side for the cat to climb through to get to the litterbox. The opening contains a system of brushes to comb loose hairs (and dingleberries) off the cat as it leaves the litterbox. Hopefully the cat doesn't enjoy it so much that it brushes itself until it goes bald, or decides it doesn't need you to pet it anymore

Media Hold-Up Podcast

A podcast where a group of people of a variety of ages rate and discuss old movies, music, etc., and only discuss whether it "holds up", i.e. whether they enjoyed it when watching/listening the week before the podcast was recorded. Any discussion which isn't relevant to how much they enjoyed it (such as historical importance, critical accolades, etc.) would be interrupted. Unlike virtually all media review web sites, podcasts, etc., we wouldn't care about how groundbreaking a movie was or other snobby bulls***. The goal would be to help people find movies or other media that they'd enjoy consuming, which would likely be outside of the era where they would've seen it or heard of it based on their age, and therefore probably wouldn't have been recommended to them by software "recommendation engines" such as on Netflix

Hologram-Projecting Watch

A watch which can project a holographic image above it (like in Star Wars). Attaching a small glass pyramid above the watch can simulate a hologram, but be careful not to forget that it's there and puncture yourself while wiping

Boom-B-Gone

A device to cancel out loud, vibrating bass from nearby cars when you're at a stoplight or stuck in a traffic jam. And maybe also wirelessly lock the person's car doors so they don't get out and attack you if they figure out that you silenced their music

PredictionNET

A web site to allow professionals (scientists, engineers, business leaders) or groups of professionals to make and share predictions about the future, including prediction algorithms (which are based on other predictions and where the predicted outcome changes week to week as new information is received). There would be snapshots of the prediction algorithms, so you can see how the prediction has evolved over time. You'd be able to see the past performance of somebody's predictions. Regular "unverified" people would be able to make predictions as well. And psychic abilities would be disproven (or proven)

"Truman Show"-like television shows, each of which follows somebody throughout their entire life without their knowledge, but for educational purposes, such as to show obese people how thin people shop for groceries

School Shooting Prevention Plan

A 3-part plan to prevent school shootings: a) early childhood therapy, b) a "school shooter exchange program" which puts bullied white high-school boys in inner-city schools to "show them what real bullying is like", and c) legalized prostitution. Also: teachers using fake names when doing standup comedy, maybe the only people who should have guns are the people who don't want guns, why the best way to rid the country of guns might be to just do nothing

Dead Parades

Parades where you create a parade float for a semi-random dead person from your family or your community, intended to be a better way than graveyards to ensure that everyone gets remembered; could either be done yearly, or when removing the graveyard that the person is buried in (because of global warming sea rise, for example). Also: the crazy plot of the movie “How High”, flooded graveyard zombies, “Day of the Dead” and “Coco”

Mobile Farms

Urban farms in shipping-container sized flower pots which fit in semi-trucks/trains/etc. That way, you can transport them to "farming factories" in both the spring to plant the crops and the fall to harvest them, so you don't have to farm inefficiently with human hands. You could also transport them into buildings to protect them from crop-destroying weather, and put them in suburban yards instead of lawns

A service for homeowners to rent a device which helps match small household items like Tupperware containers and pairs of socks, and also contains a 3-D printer to print or repair missing or broken items. It also can shame you for wanting to create matching items for gross old stuff

Bulls###bot

A little Jetsons-style robot which follows you around and loudly reports lies which it detects based on facial expressions, tone of voice, and also Internet data. However, you can't configure it to ignore your lies, and people could hack it to falsely report lies and destroy people's relationships. And psychopaths can use it to improve their lying skills

Smell-O-Vision

The futuristic tiny house idea from previous podcast episodes which uses robots to wheel in and out all of your stuff on demand could also wheel in Glade Plug-in-style scents and release them into the air in sync with your television. That way you could have "Smell-O-Vision" without the nuisance of having to constantly buy and replace dozens of scent plugins/cartridges

Where You From? App

An app for strangers standing near each other to announce to each other where they consider themselves as "being from", to avoid awkward situations, such as accidentally speaking Japanese to a Korean person, or to help spark a conversation with a stranger, who might be from the same US state, for example. Although there's a risk it could get corrupted by seethingly racist trolls
