Idea: A business where a "smell expert" goes to your house and lets you know, for a small fee, if your house smells bad (because sometimes people who live there get used to the smell and don't notice it)

Idea (NSFW): A single-person electric car whose chassis can switch between horizontal mode (like a motorcycle) and vertical mode (like a Segway). When in vertical mode, it would be thin enough to fit through an ordinary door, so you could drive it inside buildings and up and down elevators. Modular attachments would be available, such as an SUV-like "family compartment" or a quadcopter flying car attachment

Bryan was happiest in his life when he was smoking cigarettes. His plan to become happy again is to start smoking again (no wonder he's depressed)

Idea: An electronic device that digs into your ear like a parasite and broadcasts Matt's voice into your brain. Most people would prefer to READ people's minds, but Matt is a narcissist who wants the exact opposite. And he wants to do it to the entire world. The way to defeat him would be to broadcast his voice back to him with a slight delay like a "speech jammer"

Idea: A service that delivers you customized candy/rewards inside clear locked boxes which you can't open until you meet your exercise goals, as determined by your Fitbit (or fitness tracker). Or you can choose for the rewards to be "mystery boxes", including possible cash prizes, but if you don't exercise enough to unlock the box within a few weeks, you have to ship it back, not knowing if you would've been a millionaire

Idea: A device called the "Chivalry Device" which holds open your car door and "locks" it in one place, so elderly or disabled people can use the car door to help them stand up, and also hold open the door if you're parked on a hill. Hopefully it doesn't fail so that the car door is stuck open, because you might get pulled over for that

Tom's idea for a futuristic tiny house where most (or all) of your stuff is wheeled in and out by robots. The idea also solves gerrymandering, makes "universal basic income" feasible, solves the Flint Water Crisis, and gives people the freedom to escape their miserable 9-to-5 office jobs and live nomadic lives of leisure. But everyone opposes it because it involves sharing toilets

Matt wants to "quantum leap" into movies and experience the events of the movie as one of the characters. He also accidentally re-imagines several other plot points of the book "Ready Player One", which he'd never read because he considers it too nerdy. Tom proposes a gruesome, "mad science" way to approximate this idea in the real world

Louis accidentally locked himself out of his AirBnB. He then used YouTube lockpicking tutorials to break into his AirBnB, which was so easy, he succeeded on his first try. This incident inspired his idea, which is an app to help you find wealthy people in nearby AirBnBs to burglarize

Tom thinks that window blinds are designed wrong, because when they are half open, they expose your groin to your neighbors and block your eyes from seeing out the window. He'd like individually-adjustable window blinds controlled by an app, that way you can choose what you can see (and which body parts to expose)
