Rules for defining a "vacation", how travel isn't required for a vacation because (unlike migrating birds) location isn't one of our five senses, five ideas for new types of stay-at-home vacations (ranging from realistic to wildly futuristic)

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

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

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

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
