In 5 Hours Energy

Idea: A delayed-release pill or drink to give you energy in 5 hours so (for example) you can wake up with full energy instead of having to make coffee and wait for it to kick in. Also: it could also contain instant-release Melatonin to both help you sleep now and help you wake up later; springing up when you wake up like Bruce Willis in "Pulp Fiction" and sending the pet who was sleeping on your chest flying across the room; using it on your shared-custody kids so their energy kicks in shortly after you drop them off; similar products called "In 5 Hours Alcohol" to mellow you out during an early afternoon work meeting and "In 5 Hours Nicotine" to help you cope with the stress of a visit to the in-laws

AI Robot Probation Supervisor and Caretaker

Idea: To give prisoners the option to get out early if we amputate their arms (or put them in arm-locking exoskeletons) and give them AI robots to monitor them and care for them. Because if these robots of the near-future can do everything, not having arms would no longer be debilitating. Also: robots or exoskeletons with cameras and AI could monitor you while you're on probation, and detect, for example, if a white collar criminal tries to violate the terms of their probation by using a computer; the risk of the family members of armless prisoners on probation taunting them mercilessly because they can no longer fight back; using AI robots to monitor and care for those with mental disabilities; a previous idea on this podcast that offended people on social media (like this idea might do)

Idea: To allow prisoners to get out early if we amputate their arms & give them AI robots to monitor & care for them (if these robots do everything for you, lacking arms isn't debilitating)
Also: risk of armless criminals' family taunting them mercilessly bc they can't fight back pic.twitter.com/IFbcyj70S1

Funeral 'Cause of Death' Guessing Games

Idea: To withhold announcing the cause of someone's death until their funeral so people can try to guess the cause of death and win prize(s) (maybe even the inheritance). Also: 'cause of death' reveal presentations; the family could take a percentage of the bets to help pay for the funeral; a back-and-forth discussion on whether this would lead to less or more murder; being peer-pressured into having an interesting death; Tom's guess of Justin's cause of death almost already happened in a close call

Bathroom "Night Light" Footprints and Toilet Light

Idea: "Night lights" to help you go to the bathroom at night without turning on bright lights and fully waking you up, including both glow-in-the-dark footprints leading to the toilet and a glow-in-the-dark ring around the inside of the toilet. Also: questioning whether toilet night lights already exist in some form, possibly as a bidet with a light on it; the risk of an assassin moving the glow-in-the-dark footprints in order to lead someone to their doom

Everything on Hangers

Idea: A tiny house where almost everything in the house (even furniture) is on hangers, and robots move the stuff on hangers across a series of interconnected racks/rods (including power lines that also function as hanger rods), so it can easily be stored in the ceiling or sent to a neighborhood warehouse to be stored and/or cleaned. Also: keeping bugs and pets on the ground from reaching your stuff; transporting stuff on power lines would prevent package thieves from stealing it; since everything is on hangers you could lift up the top of the tiny house and slide in a themed bottom part; curing the modern epidemic of stubbed and mangled toes

Foul-Smelling Scented Candles

Idea: Scented candles with scents that most people would find bad, but which you enjoy, such as gasoline, lawn clippings, Newports (which smell like home), etc. Also: a prank candle that smells like natural gas; using a foul-smelling scented candle to intentionally end a bad Netflix-and-Chill session; a scented candle made from belly button lint that sparkles when the small hairs ignite

The Sound of Mooses

Idea: A movie about evil mooses (sic), possibly a zombie-moose-infused remake of the movie The Sound of Music. Also: Cocaine Bear but with moose and pot; evil moose attacking a mall during Christmas; using AI to recreate old movies scenes but then having evil moose kill everybody; why Tom thinks that almost every movie made before 1984 sucks

Sexy Promiscuous 60-Year-Old Woman TV Series

Idea: A TV show like Californication starring a senior-aged but still attractive and promiscuous protagonist, only in this case, it's a woman. Also: there should more female equivalents of a "silver fox" who's "still in the game" and "all the dudes still drool over"; an awkwardly long conversation about older actresses we find attractive and whether they'd be a good fits for the role, such as Jennifer Coolidge, Emma Thompson, Annette Bening, and Andie MacDowell; brainstorming a plot, such as a sex addiction counselor who has to hide her own sex addition, a show similar to "Poker Face" where a woman uses her attraction to bad men to help her solves crimes, and a show about a conservative female politician's embarrassingly wild mother who's actions repeatedly put her daughter's political career at risk

Phlegm Flavorizer

Idea: A product (Mucinex pill, nasal spray, etc.) that gives your phlegm a delicious flavor of your choosing when you have a cold. Also: causing Amanda to get more and more grossed out by the idea; romantic partners using complementary flavors before getting intimate; "hocking a loogie" and how dogs would want to lick it up if it was flavored

Trojan Horse Battering Ram

Idea: A large battering ram for police to use to conduct raids where their body is safely inside the bulletproof battering ram. Also: a dog-like or centipede-like battering ram with robotic legs where one cop lays down inside of it; a multi-person parade-dragon-style battering ram where their upper bodies are inside of it and their lower bodies are protected by bulletproof boots and bulletproof hoop skirts; it could also be used for animal control, firefighters, or for camping inside of it; it's kind of like an above-ground version of that ill-fated deep-water submarine if it was powered by the Flintstones

Karaoke Social Media App

Idea: A social media app to show off and/or request karaoke or lip-syncing videos from your friends or from celebs. Also: paying people to help them overcome their shyness to do karaoke for you; the app could only allow the recipient to see the video once or only allow the singer to attempt the song once; wanting to see other people sing badly but not wanting to do it yourself

(Meno)Pause Pal

Idea: A smart watch that monitors a menopausal woman's body and alerts her (and optionally her husband on his "Man-On-Pause" device) if her mood or body temperature is about to change. Also: things that bring on hot flashes; the device could include controls for (or it could automatically adjust) the temperature of a room or matress, play calming music, etc.; a menopause-themed party game; a horror movie where social media accidentally causes the menstrual cycles of all the women of the world to sync up

Popcorn Straw

Idea: A straw to use to suck up popcorn so you don't get butter or salt on your hands. Also: A romantic popcorn straw for two, which might accidentally create a competition for the popcorn that harms the relationship; accessories such as a popcorn shovel, a filter so you don't choke on the popcorn when sucking it through the straw, etc.; a popcorn straw helmet, which might cause the people sitting behind you to steal your popcorn

Abolish The Nickel But Keep The Penny

Idea: For the US to save money by no longer making nickels, but to keep making pennies, because prices ending in .99 are cool, and you can just use five pennies instead of a nickel. Also: keeping pennies because Lincoln (who's on the penny) is better than Jefferson (who's on the nickel); getting annoyed by parking meters which require apps or don't take pennies; destroying Scott's pep by not agreeing with him about the nickel thing

Themed Boy-Girl Scouts

Idea: To combine Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and then divide it into themes, such as apocalypse survival scouts, videogame/music/art/sport scouts, space scouts, mechanic scouts, etc. Also: an embarrassing childhood scout-related incident; teaching things in school vs. in scouts; laundering money and/or unloading counterfeit money by buying Girl Scout cookies

Loophole Finder App

Idea: An app to help you find loopholes to bypass rules, save money, commit crimes and avoid going to prison, etc. Also: you could either actively search for loopholes, or it could always run and use AI to be like a "devil on your shoulder" and suggest loopholes as you go about your day; letting you know if a loophole has been "closed" i.e. will no longer work; using loopholes to obtain medicinal THC for Crohn's disease; preparing to perform in possibly the worst idea for a standup comedy show of all time

"I Get It" Augmented Reality Relationship Assistant

Idea: An augmented-reality app that develops a personality model of your partner and constantly listens to and watches them, and uses AI to predict how to you should respond to their questions and to their emotional needs in order to keep them happy. Also: displaying a list of options of what you should do, along with percentage certainties of each option, and reasons why; your partner's AR glasses could be measuring their vitals (heart rate, hormones, etc.) all day and transmitting it to your AR glasses for them to show you a gauge of their estimated level of anger before you interact with them; parents and teenagers using the AR relationship assistant app, and why it might not work; if you get used to the peace and understanding that the AR relationship assistant provides and then the software crashes, you might immediately go at each other in chaotic rage like two rabid squirrels trapped in a sack

Remote Buffet

Idea: A buffet where you order your food by watching a live video feed (while you're at a drive-thru or using an app) and telling a worker who's at the buffet what foods to grab. Also: using robots to scoop the food and/or deliver the food; having it count calories as they scoop, and using the remote buffet for all of your meals to ensure portion control to lose weight; drive-thru liquor stores using "growlers" and other refillable containers to buy the exact quantity of alcohol that you want; an embarrassing childhood buffet incident at Ponderosa Steakhouse

Brainstorming How To Clean Up A Dirty Joke

A brainstorming session on how to clean up a specific adult-themed bit/joke, and a discussion on whether it's even possible. Also: dirty metaphors/innuendo such as "the grand finale" and "the product of the interaction"; "seagulling" and dirty urban legends being made real; using Adam Sandler movies as a barometer of acceptable PG-13 dirtiness
