Drunk Business Ideas That Could Make You Millions

About this video

Sam pitches several unconventional business ideas he calls “drunk ideas,” including a text-based virtual boyfriend/girlfriend service, a luxury oversized bed company, an HOA dispute resolution show, and a tech industry hackathon competition modeled after sports all-star games. The hosts discuss the merits and drawbacks of each concept while exploring broader themes about opportunity, luck, and how success depends on era and circumstances.

Key takeaways

• Sam’s “Very Long Distance Girlfriend” concept explores monetizing the emotional benefits of relationships without physical commitment, though Ben argues it’s ethically questionable while Sam sees potential in the text-based friendship model already proven by services like The Hustle
• The “Big Ass Beds” idea targets wealthy niches (athletes, biohackers) willing to pay $20k+ for luxury, but the hosts debate whether size genuinely improves sleep or if it’s purely psychological appeal
• Sam’s Tech All-Star Game hackathon concept aims to entertainment-ize business like sports, but the hosts question whether today’s mega-founders can still code and build—and whether that matters given outsourcing options
• The conversation reveals a tension: knowing how to build yourself (code, write, create) offers creative flow and reduces information loss versus delegation, even if both paths achieve results
• Opportunity and era matter more than raw talent; the hosts argue successful founders benefit from luck and timing as much as skill, using examples like David Karp (Tumblr) and Scott Heiferman (Meetup) who were brilliant but picked smaller opportunities
