Creativity Wasted episodes

  • Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks (Alex Plotkowski)

    Idea: To inject various foods into deep-fried mozzarella sticks to give them a custom flavor, such as ground beef, pizza sauce, basil, garlic, or pepperoni. Also: inverting the jalapeno popper; nacho cheese inside of mozzarella cheese; hiding veggies in the mozzarella sticks, like in Jerry Seinfeld's wife's book, which we can't remember whether or not was plagiarized

  • Doppelganger Finder App (Allie Goodwich)

    Idea: An app to help you search for a doppelganger (i.e. someone who looks exactly like you) on the Internet, and if it finds someone (or if you see one, such as in an advertisement), it helps you get in contact with them, so you can meet up and do pranks and other fun stuff together. Also: sharing a job and health insurance with your doppelganger; seeing a doppelganger in a photo and wondering if it was actually you in the photo and that maybe you have undiagnosed amnesia or DID (dissociative identity disorder); Liberace and using plastic surgery to create a doppelganger; a similar app that finds your "psychic soulmate" from a psychic's sketch

  • Bug Zapper Earrings (Chris Young)

    Idea: Earrings which also function as bug zappers, to be worn while camping to keep the bugs away. Also: the risk of electrocuting your head if you dive into a lake; using them as a mini-grill for tiny diet-sized pieces of chicken; shoving your wife's head towards a spider; if her ears start smoking, either she just killed a bug or she's really mad

  • Dead Man's Switch App (Tom Walma)

    Idea: An app that you launch before doing a mildly dangerous activity, and if sensors in your electronic devices (phone, Apple Watch, FitBit, AirTags, etc.) indicate that an emergency has occurred (examples: losing Bluetooth contact with an AirTag hidden in the clothes of a kid that you're babysitting might mean that he wandered out of the yard; a sudden downward acceleration detected on an Apple Watch while you're climbing on a ladder might mean that you fell off), or if you fail to confirm that a dangerous activity has safely completed within a certain period of time (example: while walking to your car at night, if you don't press an "I'm safe" button on your phone within 5 minutes, you might have gotten mugged), an emergency protocol (such as contacting the police or a kid's parents) is automatically performed. The app does NOT use AI and therefore you have to tell the app what activity you're doing so that it knows, for example, if a sudden acceleration of an Apple Watch is an emergency. The app would be pre-programmed with a list of common dangerous activities, and, for each one, ways to use sensors in electronic devices (emphasizing the electronic devices that you own) to detect emergencies. Also, you could customize the app by adding new dangerous activities and new ways to detect emergencies. Also: the police might get sick of false alarms from the app; a possible AI extension of the app which monitors what you're doing and interjects before the emergency occurs (by alerting you or shocking you with a shock collar); describing a person as "cookable and lovable"

  • Anti-Bucket List (Stefanie Ann)

    Idea: A "bucket list" of things that you've done and you definitely never want to do again, such as getting married, drinking, embarrassing or unpleasant experiences, etc. Also: a coworker who farts all day; unpleasant public bathrooms; putting an activity on your anti-bucket list while it's still in progress

  • Soapstone VR Comedy Club (Aaron Sorrels)

    Idea: A comedy club in virtual reality, which Aaron created and runs in Facebook/Meta's Horizon Worlds. The comedy club has scheduled shows and also 24-7 open mic(s) (open mic rooms are dynamically created as existing rooms fill up). Also: if a comic starts telling racist jokes, Aaron might stab their VR avatar with a sword; the synergy of virtual reality and the NBA; the comforting effect of having a force-field that blocks the audience from the stage

  • Cultural Translator App (JD The Smile Hustler)

    Idea: An app to help you communicate better with other cultures, including translating what other people are saying to you, translating what you want to say (with settings for emotions i.e. calm/passive-aggressive/aggressive, whether you want to appear "cool" or professional, etc.), and listening to what you're saying and warning you in real-time if you're starting to say something stupid or offensive. Also: you could type or speak into the translator; the app would take your identity (race, gender, age, geographic region, etc.) into account when deciding what you should say; a walkthrough of a culturally-translated scenario

  • Casual Dating vs Violent Family Opposition (Blaine Drews)

    A bizarre scenario where a casual relationship with someone who's incredibly attractive has a strange, violent downside, which is that their brother periodically beats you up. Also: questioning whether you'd be willing to endure this scenario, and for how long; brainstorming about whether this scenario can be monetized, such as by substituting the brother with a violent contractor for hire or by selling T-shirts with padding to help you endure the violence (i.e. the opposite of a "wife beater" T-shirt); questioning whether the scenario is real and whether Blaine (the guy who brought up this topic) is in immediate danger

  • Outdoor Concert Survival Bunkers (Tom Walma)

    Idea: An outdoor concert venue where each set of 4 or so seats has a bunker underneath, where you can use the restroom, take a shower, sleep, etc. People would own the bunkers, and they could rent them out during concerts to help pay for them, and also use them as survival bunkers during nuclear wars, floods, hurricanes, etc. Also: you could go down into the bunker for peace and quiet and to check your phone during the boring parts of a concert; bums might want to live in the bunkers full time; there might be chaos if a disaster occurs during a concert and both the people who own the bunker and the people to whom they rented it out for the concert want to use it

  • Robot Sports Companion (Evan Sasiela)

    Idea: A robot to play sports with, to shoot hoops or play catch if you're alone, to help you practice or train better, or to fill an empty spot on a team. Also: the robot could help a non-athletic kid advance to a skill level where the other kids would want to play with them; using a robot to teach you to dance; the robot could be hollow to allow you to wear it like an exoskeleton and violate the non-violent robotic software rules
