Idea (NSFW): A web site or app for crowdfunding cosmetic surgeries (primarily breast implants) in exchange for adult pictures and paraphernalia. Also: men not donating because "she's not hot yet", using post-surgery or botched surgery photos to gross out your friends, getting breast cancer on purpose to get insurance to pay for your breast implants

Space Soccer

Idea: A soccer-like sport played in a cylindrical court in the weightlessness of space (inside a spacecraft). The goals would be on each side of the cylindrical court, and players would bounce off the walls like pinballs and try to push a heavy medicine ball into the goal. A team would consist of a diverse group of people, including big strong people and tiny gymnastic people which can be easily tossed around by their teammates. Also: early NFL team purchase prices vs. current value, it could maybe be played in the "vomit comet" airplanes

Detroit Pyramid

Idea: To use ancient/low-tech building techniques and (well-paid) manual labor to build a giant pyramid in Detroit out of the waste material of torn down buildings. Also: Flint Stonehenge, watching people move the 10+ ton blocks is more entertaining than viewing a completed pyramid, building a pyramid for exercise

Note: This episode was recorded in a Subway restaurant (because our recording venue was unexpectedly closed when we arrived)

50 Shades of Rainbow

Idea (NSFW): a TV show like Reading Rainbow but for fan-fiction. Also: it would drive LeVar Burton insane, maybe the authors of the creepy perverted fan fiction were on Reading Rainbow as kids and it somehow corrupted them

Bondage Gear For Coronavirus Prevention

Idea: To use leather bondage masks for Coronavirus prevention, because leather masks with shiny silver zippers are stronger (and therefore better) than paper masks and cloth masks. Also: whips to encourage social distancing, "breath play", questioning whether Canadians are too polite for BDSM

Tsunami Machine

Idea: Scientists predict that a landslide on a tiny island off the coast of Africa could create a mega-tsunami across the entire East Coast of the US. Since such a small thing (a landslide on a tiny island) can create a tsunami, it should also be possible to design a giant machine to create a tsunami. Also: maybe a tsunami machine could create a tsunami to cancel out another tsunami

Slamchat

Idea: An app which detects that you've thrown your phone and simulates an old school angry phone slam to the person on the other end of the call. Also: maybe automatically delete the person on the other end of the call from your contacts, maybe use a custom angry hangup message instead of a "phone slam" sound
