Idea: An Anthony Bourdain-style travel show where the host goes to grand openings of dollar stores, reviews them, explores the nearby community, and interviews interesting customers. Also: the show could include segments such as taking different types of people (nuns, comedians, etc.) to dollar stores for the first time, comparing generic dollar store brands to name-brand equivalents, taste-testing rare discontinued/experimental foods (such as Monster Energy Cold Brew coffee-flavored energy drink); discussing the major dollar store chains, Buc-ee's, food outlets (which sell nearly expired meats), Wall Drug, Factor meal delivery, grocery pickup/delivery, etc.; YouTuber Andrew Callahan ("All Gas No Brakes" and "Channel 5") and interviewing oddball people

Idea (dark humor): A short-term puppy rental service where the puppy is put down and made into soap (or other things) if the renter doesn't pay a large amount of money to buy it when the rental period expires. Also: calculating how much emotional attachment the renter has with the puppy to determine how much money you can squeeze out of them to save their puppy's life; renting a new puppy each season or to match your outfits; accidentally crushing pets and coming up with inventions to prevent that from happening; when a vegan Buddhist hippie thought this idea was real

Idea: Vendors that roam around the stands at a summer baseball game (or at other summer events) carrying a fan and a large battery (to power the fan) in a backpack that charge people money to cool them down. Also: brainstorming names for the business (Mr. Blow, etc.), the vendors ("Joe Blow", etc.), and things the vendors say ("get your fan jobs here..."); the risk of accidentally blowing sweat onto nearby people; questioning whether global warming will make summer sports like baseball die off because it's just too hot out

Idea: To make a career out of being a paid guest on various podcasts. Also: faking expertise or ailments (or whatever else) to be a relevant guest for a themed podcast (such as Mormonism, alien abduction, or 18th-century cookery) with or without the podcast hosts knowing that you're a fake; creating a podcast feed out of links to your appearances on other podcasts; becoming a charismatic "character actor" who has fans that watch whatever they do, but in the venue of podcasting; making small appearances in movies as a podcaster, such as being the guy who says "Lex Luther is right, we do need to stop Superman"

Idea: An app to translate/interpret the grammar, slang, and acronyms of text (primarily social media) based on your age. Also: writing conventions that other generations find annoying such as "boomer ellipses" and excessive "LOLs" or "bruhs"; translating a text message from an old person to a zoomer and having it say "no cap" might not be necessary for understanding but would be hilarious; an in-app purchase to translate to 1800s or early 1900s slang such as "the cat's pajamas"; if a kid sends you a cryptic text full of emojis, you can respond with Egyptian hieroglyphs as a form of revenge

Idea: A business that you can hire to perform a prank on someone (like in the Norm MacDonald movie "Dirty Work"). Also: prank examples such as fish in cars, "Zoombombing", faking charitable donations on someone's behalf, tricking a public figure like in the movie "Borat", etc.; brainstorming a business name, such as "Leach's Pranks For Hire: For People Who Suck"; using leverage to break the law when pranking people to avoid getting ratted out; the risk of giving overly vague instructions to employees (like "take care of this guy") and accidentally causing a mob-style hit

Idea: Trophies to be given as a gag gift to commemorate humiliating (but not traumatic) incidents (falls, saying dumb things, coming in last place in fantasy football, etc.) for which you would get amusement out of being reminded of years later. Also: the risk of them being given out after traumatically humiliating events and pouring salt on the wound; pre-ordering the trophy before a contest so it can be given to the loser immediately as part of the event; brainstorming both good (non-traumatic) and bad scenarios for giving out humiliation trophies

Idea: A screen that shows a thermal/infrared image of your food so you can see how hot it is and whether it's still too cold (or it's too hot). Also: using microwaves, ovens, and fridges to survive a nuclear explosion; maybe the microwave could use the thermal/infrared info to redirect the microwave "rays" toward the cold spots on the food; maybe it could be a phone app or a gadget that connects to your phone instead of building it into the microwave, and then you could use the "heat map" for other purposes, such as to see if your partner laying in bed is cold
