Refrigerator Outdoor Exhaust Vent

In the winter, a fridge takes warm air from inside the house which has been warmed by your heater, and cools it off again.

In the summer, a fridge vents hot air into a house which you're trying to cool down with air conditioning.

Why not position your fridge next to an outside wall, and use a vent/duct leading outdoors to either take in or vent out air (depending on the season) to save electricity? Or you could have a 2nd, tiny refrigerator door which leads outside, so Amazon grocery delivery can place food directly into the fridge. This could also allow you to sit in the fridge with the tiny door open to cool yourself off

Mind-Control Haunted House Security

A psychic or spiritual way to control your house with your mind, to make blood seep through the walls to scare away burglars, and to do mundane things like run the coffee maker and detect leaky pipes. Also: Neuralink brain implants which only work for a specific company and have themes such as “goth”

Bad Driver Hunger Games Lottery

If someone is at fault in a car accident, almost causes an accident, or is just being a jerk on the road, their car's AI computer (which all cars will be required to have installed) will detect that this occurred, and then, when they park, the car will release knockout gas. Then the person will be put in a lottery with like 100 other bad drivers, and the person whose name gets drawn will be punished. The punishment will be that they'll be killed, or they'll be given drugs that cause them to poop their pants in their car

The Party Ship Sci-Fi Movie

A sci-fi movie, where, in the near future, an eccentric billionaire adventurer like Elon Musk leads the first mission to colonize a planet of a nearby star. They've figured out how to slow down aging via drugs and hibernation, so they age like 1/10 as fast as usual. So they can survive the entire 200-year journey, and still be young enough to have kids when they get there. But they can only hibernate for 90 days at a time. So every 90 days, they wake up, do a day of work, have an intense drug-fueled party, and then go back into hibernation before the hangover kicks in. So instead of space travel being logical and business-like and boring, it's the exact opposite, overflowing with fun and emotion and intense experiences. But will the people who signed up for a party be able to cope when things start to go wrong?

Crime-Erasing Time Machine

Idea: Time machines that allow people to go back in time and prevent horrible crimes which would've occurred by peacefully interfering and preventing the crimes. But there might be some unexpected downsides... (Note: NSFW)

Shapeshifting Tech

Idea: A belt or suit that you can wear to allow yourself to temporarily change into any shape you want, like another person, an animal, an animated company logo, or a literal "fly on the wall". Also: a discussion on "invisibility cloaks" (Note: NSFW)

Benefits of Implantable Microchips

The three things men need to carry are phone, wallet, and keys. A sub-dermal microchip could eliminate 2 of those 3 things, and could also do other cool stuff, like store your customized settings for smart appliances. And security issues don't really matter because you're always carrying a cell phone anyway. The biggest downside is that somebody might cut it out of your body to steal it

Hologram-Projecting Watch

A watch which can project a holographic image above it (like in Star Wars). Attaching a small glass pyramid above the watch can simulate a hologram, but be careful not to forget that it's there and puncture yourself while wiping

Boom-B-Gone

A device to cancel out loud, vibrating bass from nearby cars when you're at a stoplight or stuck in a traffic jam. And maybe also wirelessly lock the person's car doors so they don't get out and attack you if they figure out that you silenced their music

PredictionNET

A web site to allow professionals (scientists, engineers, business leaders) or groups of professionals to make and share predictions about the future, including prediction algorithms (which are based on other predictions and where the predicted outcome changes week to week as new information is received). There would be snapshots of the prediction algorithms, so you can see how the prediction has evolved over time. You'd be able to see the past performance of somebody's predictions. Regular "unverified" people would be able to make predictions as well. And psychic abilities would be disproven (or proven)

Mobile Farms

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

Household Item Matching and 3D-Printing Service

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

Bulls###bot

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

Smell-O-Vision

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

Where You From? App

An app for strangers standing near each other to announce to each other where they consider themselves as "being from", to avoid awkward situations, such as accidentally speaking Japanese to a Korean person, or to help spark a conversation with a stranger, who might be from the same US state, for example. Although there's a risk it could get corrupted by seethingly racist trolls

Revolving Door Electricity Generator

A device to generate electricity from pushing a revolving door when entering or exiting a building. Although this might cause companies to encourage their employees to smoke so that they generate electricity walking outside for their cigarette break. And "big oil" might murder people in the revolving door Godfather-style to discourage people from generating clean energy

When you're bored, get on board the "bored app", and it’ll give you a list of stuff to do (outside of your house) near your current location at the current time, which is tailored to your interests. Also: "baby on bored" for stuff you can do with your kids, "over bored", opening businesses off-hours on-demand through the app, and creepy work bathroom stories

An extremely lightweight skyscraper shaped like a giant beehive that hangs down from giant "St. Louis Arch"-sized arch(es), above existing skyscrapers, where the people and all of their stuff are flown in and out on drones which look like giant bees.

Also: rotating them around a city through a series of arches on a suspended cable, tea-bagging the Trump tower, beehive-dweller bullying, an idea for the biggest business of all time

A sci-fi shoe or a plastic surgery to make a tall person shorter (because it's not fair that short people can wear shoes to make them look taller, but not vice-versa). Also: tall people who aren't good at sports, giant guitar players, silly things we'd do if we were tall
