* How did the greatest single invention since the Dawn of Man not get included? And by that I mean the snowblower. And also Nutella.
* Here’s an invention that’s worked out pretty good: Social media contests that get lots of clicks and show lots of ads that make their posters lots of money. Now go on X or Instagram and vote!
* PHONE TOPIC: Have listeners call. You rapid-fire down the list, have each caller name the winner between two inventions – one caller, one matchup. After a few breaks, you’ll eventually come down with the Best Invention.
