Idea: A recreational fake kidnapping service (as inspired by "escape rooms") where you have to solve puzzles to escape. Also: a fake kidnapping "promposal" and how it could go wrong, PTSD, staging a heroic escape (as a couple) from fake kidnappers and then never telling your girl/boyfriend that it was fake

Idea: To write and record fantasy/sci-fi audio stories, and release them either as audiobooks or a podcast. Also: standup comedy, how the "Dungeons & Dragons" game works and how being a "dungeon master" is great training for being a fantasy/sci-fi author,

Idea: To legalize prostitution (as recommended by a retired police officer). Also: legalizing it for "medicinal purposes", a possible Christian-right feminist reaction, 30 minute marriages, sex robots, hypocrisy and repressed sexuality in Pakistan vs. the US

Idea: a toy-sized drone to be used to fly drugs out of your car window if you get pulled over by the cops. Also: a retired police officer's thoughts on the idea, police falcons to chase the drones

Idea: restaurant tables containing touchscreens for ordering food, so you don't need menus (or waitresses). Also: bumping the touchscreen while eating, accidentally stabbing the touchscreen with a knife if it looks like food, khakis taking over your wardrobe and the khakiness seeping into your soul

Idea: To intentionally eat uncooked chicken to get sick in order to lose weight. It would be normal uncooked chicken with cooking instructions on the package that leave it undercooked, and these instructions would justify charging twice the normal price. Also: a few other ridiculously unhealthy ideas for losing weight

Idea: A professional baseball league where both men and women are equally represented on each team, and cheerleading counts towards the score of the game. Also: which other sports can women successfully compete against men, T-shirt cannons and mascot races between innings, barnstorming, Slamball and other failed sports leagues

Idea: A comedic zombie movie where the dead come back to life, in the order of the most recently dead (or most well preserved) first. The zombies act exactly like normal people (i.e. they don't eat brains), but they hold their old prejudices (racism, Puritanism, etc.), poor hygiene habits, etc. In the end, people slay hoards of zombies just because they're so annoying

A rant about poorly designed and/or pointless technology, such as voice recognition and smart homes. Also: smart light switches which fail to turn off the light, the smartest people in our society are working on dumb tech instead of important life-saving tech, an anecdote about a strobe light at a poker game

Idea: An implantable medical device that detects when your heart stops, alerts a hospital, and then, instead of restarting your heart like a defibrillator/pacemaker, creates a cooling reaction in a cooling pad inside your body to cool nearby blood, and then the cooled blood is pumped through the body. This cooling slows cell death and gives you a few hours to be revived (like people who've drowned in Arctic ice water and then were revived a few hours later)

Idea: A daily affirmation mirror, which, when you look at yourself, makes you feel better about your disappointing appearance by saying "it's not your fault" (because hearing someone else say it is more convincing than just saying it to yourself). Also discussed: hacking the mirror to play mind games on a spouse, massage devices as "plausible deniability adult toys"

Idea: A TV show where people wear a brain altering helmet (as covered on the Radiolab episode "Nine-Volt Nirvana") which can temporarily induce terror, relaxation, enhanced learning ability, disabled morality, etc. Then, they'd be put in a scenario, such as putting someone in a haunted house and modifying their brain to induce terror, or testing a religious person by putting them in a stressful situation and shutting off their sense of morality, just to see what will happen

Idea: An app to "peacock" your charitable acts/donations and other good deeds, to peer pressure other people into also doing good things. The app would display a peacock avatar on your social media which would be more or less flamboyant depending on how much good you do
