9 drunk ideas that sound stupid (but are secretly genius)

Sam Parr and Shaan Puri, fueled by drinks, brainstorm nine off-the-wall business ideas that sound absurd at first but might just be brilliant. The freewheeling conversation touches on reverse vacations, a rap battle + UFC hybrid event, giant claw machines, butter dispensers, beepers for kids, a Mexican Benihana, bulk custom gifts, a slop detector, and a take-your-roommate-to-work day. It's a classic MFM ideation session full of wild what-ifs.
