Creativity Wasted

Sci-Fi Idea (NSFW): A portable CRISPR DNA-editing device which connects to a cell phone and allows you to design changes to your body using an app, such as growing a tail or becoming taller. Also: you'd be trusting a company like Apple to edit your genes (think about all of the update errors that might happen to your body); using the device to make yourself look exactly like another person; questioning whether you want to change your body so badly that you'd be willing to endure intense pain or eat the body part being improved or replaced Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 50 "Spruce Rice" (twitter.com/LordBluntsWorth) Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Funny News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN6nBbMFIE03wqFz5PwAA3w) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea (NSFW): An alarm to shake your bed or shock you to wake you up. It could also defibrillate you, scare you during horror movies, and pleasure you. But don't use it if you're pregnant (wink wink). Also: it would hurt coffee sales; gradually shaking you more intensely until you wake up; hacking it to strengthen the shock Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 50 "Spruce Rice" (twitter.com/LordBluntsWorth) Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Funny News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN6nBbMFIE03wqFz5PwAA3w) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A healthy fast food restaurant which proudly proclaims that its food is not natural and its veggie and/or lab-grown meat doesn't taste as good as real meat. But it's the same price, is humane to animals, is half the calories, and (unlike normal fast food) is reheatable. And the taste is constantly improving (multiple times per year), encouraging people to come back and try it again. Also: encouraging people to cook their own food is a poor design for society; healthy food snobs contribute to the obesity crisis by refusing to eat healthy food at fast food restaurants and thus disincentivize fast food restaurants from offering healthy food at all

Idea (NSFW): A government service to pay for prostitutes for young men to improve their mental health and reduce the amount of sexual assault. Also: On the downside, men might lose ambition and just "live off the government tit"; this service might be politically viable in Alaska because the population is like 70% male Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 49 Seth Addison (instagram.com/sexaddictson) Pat Sievert (twitter.com/patsievert) Josh Courtnay (twitter.com/JoshCourtnay) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A service to help you get rid of an unhealthy or unwanted fandom. In other words, make you hate what you don't want to love anymore. Also: The service is not reversible, but it can make you dislike everything else more, so you're more depressed overall, but you feel like the fandom has returned; using your rabid fandom to annoy less rabid fans out of their fandom and then collecting their fan memorabilia in victory; inducing food allergies to discourage unhealthy eating Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 49 Seth Addison (instagram.com/sexaddictson) Pat Sievert (twitter.com/patsievert) Josh Courtnay (twitter.com/JoshCourtnay) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: Seth looks like a guy who would be in a metal band. He got so sick of trying to convince people he's not in a band, he started telling people he was in a fake band so they'd walk away happy. His idea is a mockumentary about an aspiring metal vocalist with no talent who lies and says that he started a metal band, but, unlike the real Seth, he books gigs and hypes up the band on the Internet and with killer fliers, but then keeps coming up with excuses to cancel the gigs (such as "the room is too dark to play") and never actually performs. Also: blurring the line between yourself and a character like Andrew "Dice" Clay; bands saying they're like nothing you've ever heard before and then immediately following that up with "we sound like band X mixed with band Y" Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 49 Seth Addison (instagram.com/sexaddictson) Pat Sievert (twitter.com/patsievert) Josh Courtnay (twitter.com/JoshCourtnay) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: An office chair with privacy attachments, such as an umbrella above your head and curtains that loop around the umbrella and possibly also loop around your monitor. Also: low walls in cubicles are torture because tall people lack privacy and can be constantly distracted by movement in the corner of their eyes Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 48 Nick Pizzuti (facebook.com/nick.pizzuti.73) Kyle Forsyth (twitter.com/IAmKyleForsyth) Ashley Stommen (instagram.com/ashleystommen) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A Black-Mirror-like sci-fi movie where a tech genius with the goal of "ending grief" creates robots for people to use specifically (and only) for replacing loved ones, such as after a death or a divorce. But parents use the robots to replace their living children who are disappointments with idealized versions of their children, neglecting their real children, and then chaos ensues. Also: A Russian robot in real life that tried to escape the lab; humanoid robot parents replace their humaniod robot children who are disappointments with idealized versions of their humanoid robot children Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 48 Nick Pizzuti (facebook.com/nick.pizzuti.73) Kyle Forsyth (twitter.com/IAmKyleForsyth) Ashley Stommen (instagram.com/ashleystommen) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A strip club for couples which has both male strippers and female strippers. They could be in different rooms, in the same room but on different stages, or together on the same stage. Also, instead of having gross strip club food, it'd contain a bakery with adult-themed cakes. Also: donut glaze/sprinkles instead of glitter; stripper songs Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 48 Nick Pizzuti (facebook.com/nick.pizzuti.73) Kyle Forsyth (twitter.com/IAmKyleForsyth) Ashley Stommen (instagram.com/ashleystommen) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: "XBox Live" without kids, so you don't have to deal with kids screaming into microphones, acting like jerks for no reason, ruining teams by being not good or too good, and otherwise being annoying. Also: longing for the "Children of Men" movie to be real; racist slurs being rampant in online first-person shooter games Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 48 Nick Pizzuti (facebook.com/nick.pizzuti.73) Kyle Forsyth (twitter.com/IAmKyleForsyth) Ashley Stommen (instagram.com/ashleystommen) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)
