Slugs.
The worst of all the garden creatures.
Slimy. Slithery. Leaving gross trails all over the place. Ugh.
This week Corinne has written to us to ask whether we could start up a business to deal with these pests.
And honestly our business proposals couldn't be more politically different.

Thanks Corinne.

The world has had enough of crude graffiti, surely we are better than just covering everything with spray-paint drawn willys? Andrew and Alex are here to help, as they both pitch their own ideas for businesses to make vandalism more unique and less NSFW. Listen and decide for yourself whose idea was better!

Thank you to Hannah who sent in such a crude problem. If you have a problem (not related to graffiti) you want us to solve with an innovative business then please drop us a line at brainsontheoutside@gmail.com

Why can we not Shazam smells? There's Google image search, why not a Google smell search? Alex and Andrew pitch two businesses that will aim to make it possible to really understand what you are smelling. There are wine sommeliers, why aren't there smell smelliers? 

Thank you to Elliott who sent in such a wonderful and smell-focused problem. If you have a problem (not related to smelling) you want us to solve with an innovative business then please drop us a line at brainsontheoutside@gmail.com

When kids are little, parents get to witness so many of their achievements. However, as they grow up, the distance grows. Job interviews, driving tests, exams - parents can’t be in the room as this happens. Or can they? 

This is very special episode! It is the first episode in our NEW NEW format! We're actually gonna stick with this one for a good long time. We promise.
From this moment on we're going to be looking extra hard for listener problems to solve and then we're both going to pitch a business, product or service that will help. 

Thank you to our listener Julie who sent in this heart warming question. We hope our incredibly invasive solutions help. If you have a problem you want us to solve with an innovative business then please drop us a line at brainsontheoutside@gmail.com

Is your significant other pissed with you? 
Do you not know why? 
Have you recently bought (or not bought) a zoo? 

Well, our new consultancy service is here to help. With experts trained at Deloitte, McKinsey and IDEO we'll help you to make better life decisions, to understand why everyone is annoyed with you, and to reconnect with your dad over a shared love of timber.

Your problems may seem insurmountable to you but to somebody else they might be easy-peasy! Our new app lets someone attempt to solve your problem for you, as long as you try to solve theirs. It's Strangers on a Train, but for cleaning your drains or doing your taxes. It's the next step of that neighbourhood group chat where people give away their old stuff, but now they are trying to give away their problems.

What if there was a restaurant you could order takeaway food too? A "Deliveroom", if you will? Why don't Ikea open after hours, using their showroom bedrooms as hotels, and their kitchens and dining rooms as places to eat out? Prepare for a hungry and food-related Brains on the Outside this week, as we plan the future of food.

Metal detecting is such a mixed bag. Finding cool stuff is undoubtedly amazing but having to dig things up all the time is not only a drag it's also inaccessible.
Listener Kat has messaged us this week to ask whether we could dream up a business that brings metal detecting to more of the population while also making the boring bits well... less boring.

Thanks so much Kat!

Some shoes light up, some have wheels in them, and some make you taller. Aside from that, shoes are fairly dull - where's the innovation? What's new? Luckily for Adidas and Nike, Alex has hundreds of ideas on how to improve the shoe - ones to make you shorter, a shoe that makes you sound different, a shoe to brand the ground you walk on!

Andrew had so many great ideas planned for this episode - instead, he pitches the wine flight hat, a classy and portable way of consuming a selection of wine. Increasing the classiness of the episode, we also pitch a reusable strawpedo straw, allowing even the environmentally conscious to get drunk fast.

Paw Patrol, Fireman Sam, and Postman Pat give kids a false and whimsical impression of what grown-up jobs are like. Andrew pitches the chance to try out any job before committing your life to it. We get sidetracked and ask: what if you could become 1/140th of a Doctor? Andrew ranks all the crimes and decides that robbing a train on a horse is the coolest.

Plenty of people are NIMBYs ("not in my backyard!") but what about those of us who are more amenable? What about the YIMBYs? The "yes in my backyard!" people? Do you need to build a wind farm in someone's garden? Open a prison on someone's property? Dispose of weapon's grade nuclear waste? Alex's new app will find the exact place to put it!

Plus, we have a live show on the 22nd of February at the Station House, Durham. Please come along!

Two factor authentication? 
More like EW factor authentication. 
Nobody likes all the hoops you have to jump through in order to log into your bank, your email, your social network of choice or the Warhammer website these days and this week our listener and long time friend of the show, Elliott, has asked us to solve this problem once and for all.  

Thanks so much Elliott!

more balls! more players! more voting! Now that the World Cup is wrapping up, Andrew and Alex wonder what rules will be included in the sequel to football: Football 2.

Elon has made it clear: no idea is bad enough to not be considered included in a future update to Twitter. We are more than happy to help speed up its death spiral by throwing more ideas into the mix. Tackling another type of melt-down, we discuss the Long-term nuclear waste warning message problem: how can you convince people to leave nuclear waste alone, forever.

Andrew done goofed today and accidentally recorded the whole episode without turning his nice mic on. He is very sorry about this - please forgive him 

Aside from just having to live through it, jet lag is something that no one has a solution to. Setting your watch as you get on the plane or rubbing your feet on the carpet, just don't work. Andrew's new app to send a herald in your place and Alex's plane replacement aim to fix that.

We are back with another episode recorded in Brewdog Waterloo's podcast recording studio! The restaurant Dishoom lets loyal customers roll dice to give you free food - can other companies apply this gambling concept to their own business? Then, Alex teaches everyone what a skinner box is, and how the future of everything will be based on them. On top of all this, this episode is unique: we have finally found a real-world business idea as outside-brained as this show. Let us introduce you to Outhorse Your Email!

Recorded in the Brewdog Waterloo recording studio, this episode is all about food. It's an exciting time, but Alex has sadly forgotten all his Greggs' branded clothes! Greggs crossovers are obviously the future - clothing is already been done though, what's next? Perfume? The Royal Family? Finally, we are back with another Industry News Reviews asking the eternal question: can gum recover its pre-covid puff?  Thank you Brewdog for letting us use the space, and being so helpful!

Living your everyday life and running a business is inherently risky, but does it have to be? The new Apple Watch promises to make certain extreme sports safer - we discuss whether the future Apple Watch Ultra 2 will continue to apply this concept to more activities.

Lies and misinformation are rampant on Twitter. There are people making ridiculous claims with zero repercussions. It can't go on, but how can we stop this? In today's episode, we pitch a new business that will begin to set things right, by forcing people who bend the truth to prove it. We'll make normal people compete in the Olympics, that sort of stuff.  We also think about our favourite sandwich shop and wonder if we can apply its fun history to other businesses.

Andrew is in Bruges (like the film but hopefully with fewer murders) this week so we've got another remote episode and because it's Bruges, which is fancy and full of culture, this is an extremely highbrow episode.
We discuss new ways to make money from your bathroom when you're not using it as well as an extremely cutting edge solution to getting caught out when you're desperate. And we also dream up a surprisingly fun app to make sure that you experience a lot of different things when you're on your holidays.

What's better when it's hot than having a lovely, cold ice cream? Well, let me tell you, it's more complicated than it looks to make that delicious treat! This week, we read a The Manufacturer article about the Kendal-based ice cream producer Lakes Ice Cream, and how they are trying to become more efficient.
