Radiator Furniture

Idea: Furniture designed to be placed in front of a radiator so you can feel the warmth from the radiator. Also: the risk of steampunk dominating the radiator furniture movement; the danger of burning yourself when sitting in front of a radiator makes it sexy, and if you're using hairspray, the danger of your hair erupting into flames makes it even sexier; a furry cat who sells rats

Russian Roulette Diet

Idea: A diet where you'd still eat like a pig, but you'd go on a cycle of cocaine, bulimia, Fen-Phen, and other unhealthy (but effective) ways to lose weight, and an expert would manage your diet cycle to ensure that you don't do any one unhealthy thing for a long enough continuous period of time to get addicted or to cause permanent health problems

Invisibility And Avatar Cloak

Idea: If cameras continuously record what one side of your body sees, and then flexible, clothing-like screens on the other side of your body display the recorded video in real-time (or if you were inside a cylinder of solid, curved monitors), you'd look invisible. But you don't have to just display what was captured by the cameras. You could display the image of another (smaller) person walking and moving in the same way you are, with that person's image surrounded by the video captured by the cameras, so the remainder of your body which is not displaying the other person's image would appear invisible

Self-Driving Delivery Cars Without Human Safety Features

Idea: After you go shopping, you'll leave in a self-driving one-person car which has human safety features, and your purchased items would go into a self-driving delivery car which is cheap because it doesn't need airbags or safety features required for transporting people. The self-driving delivery car might combine multiple deliveries in one trip like Uber carpooling, and might not arrive at your house as quickly as you do

Mosh Fit

Idea: A gym where people exercise by slamming each other around in a mosh pit. It's like Crossfit, only instead of throwing around a truck tire, you're throwing around an a**hole in a Guns 'N Roses T-shirt (which is about the same workout)

Racetrack Tow-Rope Snow Skiing

Idea: Snow skiing on an oval racetrack where a metal bar goes across the track about 8 feet above the ground, and several tow-ropes hang down from it and push skiers around the track. The track can contain little bouncy hills and ramps and such. This allows skiing to be done in small parks in cities

The American Revolution: Angels vs. Demons

Idea: A movie where angels and devils participate in the American Revolutionary War, just for sport. The devils are on the side of the Americans, and win because the devils are good at deception and other war-like activities. Or maybe there were no angels and devils, but the Native-Americans used ergot poisoning to get the white people to hallucinate and start killing each other so that they'd go away

Futuristic Tiny Houses vs. Universal Basic Income

Idea: Tom thinks his futuristic (and cheap) tiny house idea is a better idea than having a "universal basic income", and his futuristic tiny houses would also eliminate house chores, allow you to move instantly without packing your stuff, give you time to pursue your dreams, and even solve infrastructure problems like the Flint Water Crisis. He sees them as giving you true freedom (as opposed to the current system of wage slavery), but his podcast guests see them as a sterile prison

Trench Advice

Idea: A coworker saying goodbye on his last day before quitting a job is a perfect opportunity to share a couple minutes of blunt or awkward advice (which I call "trench advice"), because 1) they know you really well, 2) you'll probably never see them again so you don't have awkward social interactions with them in the future, and 3) they have no incentive to say mean things to you to mess with your head

Boozr

Idea: An app for buying and delivering booze and other items from a local liquor store to your house (or the nearest corner if you're homeless). Or it could be like an ice cream truck for adults, in which case grown men holding dollar bills would be drunkenly chasing the booze truck through the neighborhood in a zig-zag line. Also: A liquor-shaped vehicle similar to the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile

Clothing "Photo Fit" App

Idea: A shopping app that uses photo(s) of you (in your underwear) to calculate and show you what the clothes would look like on your body. Also: hackers stealing semi-nude photos from the app; helping the app determine your body dimensions by standing next to a celebrity mannequin (for example, Seth Rogan) in your photos; having to explain to other people why you have a mannequin of Seth Rogan in his tighty-whities in your house

Wild Animal Home Renovation Show

Idea: A home renovation show for the homes or habitats of wild animals (bears, beavers, birds, etc). Examples of renovations include a recliner for a sloth, salmon on tap for a bear, and an even dirtier toilet for a sewer rat. The TV show could show sad back stories (such as a penguin getting covered with oil during an oil spill) and could give the animals special gifts (like a prosthetic leg). The animals could maul the hosts to death if they don't like the renovations. Also: a more humane zoo; famous attempts to build armor to survive animal attacks; PETA bailing out somebody who burned down an animal testing lab at a university and then returning to the university to recruit new members; Tom got chewed out as a child in the 90s for emailing a nature conservatory asking for funny chimp videos

Poo-pourri Air Horn Prank

Idea: A prank where a very loud air horn is disguised as "poo pouri" toilet spray. If someone has to go to the bathroom really badly, and they try to spray the "toilet spray" before pulling down their pants, the shock of the unexpected air horn might cause them to accidentally "let one loose" in their pants next to the toilet. It could also sound like a fart and/or release a bad smell, letting other people know that you're pooping, which is a fact that you were trying to hide by using the "toilet spray". Also: using sound vibrations from the air horn to dislodge kidney stones; keeping a urine sample in the fridge at work

Vape Lanyard

Idea: A lanyard for a vape pen to prevent other people from wondering away with it after borrowing it, and also to allow other people to identify and avoid "vapists" (because the vape lanyard would stick out of their pocket like the chain of a chain wallet). Also: the risk of a vape pen breaking in your pocket; a weird idea to make vaping cooler

"Ice Baby" Winter Car Cover

Idea: A heated car cover for winter so you don't have to scrape snow and ice off your car. When not in use, it would be kept inside a box in one of the car seats. The box would look like a baby, and would be hollow like a Russian nesting doll. The car cover would be permanently attached to the box, and would have a hole for your car door latch, so you could close your car door with part of the car cover still inside the car (and also connected to the cigarette lighter for electricity to heat the car cover in the rare case that ice freezes it to the outside of the car). Also, keeping part of the car cover attached to the box in the car seat ensures that the car cover is always aligned correctly for quickly and easily wrapping it around the car (i.e. you don't have to fumble with finding the front of the car cover, the car cover blowing away, etc). Also: a parking spot which has an electric car charger could also have some sort of electronic device to keep snow and ice off the car which is parked there; using fire to remove a frozen-on car cover

High-Stakes "Rock, Paper, Scissors"

Idea: A variation of the game "rock, paper, scissors" which involves betting in a way similar to poker and playing in groups instead of 1-on-1, with the intent of being a game of skill like poker. Also: the essence of "rock, paper, scissors"; a game kit which includes 1) sensors to prevent cheaters from changing their choice a split second after the round ends, 2) computerized scorekeeping, and 3) an electronic display of the results of recent rounds of the game to help you formulate a strategy for future rounds; achieving success on Kickstarter by selling a product so stupid that it gains attention (for example, by selling a game that you can play for free)

Scare-eolas

Idea: Holograms of horror movie villains that women can project out of their nipples to scare off creepy guys who stare at their breasts. Also: using the holograms to project clothes to allow you to be nude in public; holograms for men (cree-penis, i.e. "creepiness"); questioning whether "Naked Mile" nude runs still occur at colleges; accidentally training babies to suckle on serial killers' faces

Hollywood Sauce

Idea: A late-night-style comedic talk show about movies, including a comedy monologue and segments such as Hollywood News, Parents Popcorn Pick of the Week, reviews of new release movies, and miscellaneous comedy sketches. Also: streaming services and movie watching parties with your friends as a replacement for movie theaters; crying during the Pixar movie Up in front of your friends; watch Hollywood Sauce on the Salsa Parlor YouTube channel

Virtual-Only Experiences With Real Human Guides

A bunch of ideas for virtual (i.e. Zoom/Skype) entertainment experiences with real human guides, where the experiences would be impossible to do in-person in the real world (as opposed to "Amazon Explore", which is virtual versions of real-world experiences). Examples include virtual tours of historical places and historical disasters, virtual tours of real-world places with "inappropriate" tour guides (such as comedians), video-drone tours of real world places which are off-limits to tourists (the moon, parts of the Grand Canyon, etc.), and real world events/games where the person participating virtually plays a role of a team (for example, being a lookout in a heist)

Wearing An Object Around Your Neck

Idea: For everybody to wear an object around their neck like the rapper Flavor Flav while they're out in public, such as a calculator (so people know that you can be counted on). The object can be used for self-expression and as a non-offensive conversation starter, or the object can be useful, such as a lanyard containing your keys when you're at the gym, extra carrying capacity at the airport, or a condom when you're at Martis Gras. But be careful not to wear something that could impale your neck if you trip and fall. Also: truck nuts, poor object choices for self-expression
