Creativity Wasted

Idea: To break up from your significant other at a bad unhealthy restaurant, because you don't want to ruin one of your favorite restaurants, they can't take revenge by ordering expensive food, and the other patrons might be too drunk to notice if you're crying. Also: ordering extra food during the break up, getting takeout, and taking it to your next fling's house Khurum Sheikh (facebook.com/khurum.sheikh) Ellie Snyder (twitter.com/EllieIsnt) Charles Fricker (facebook.com/charlie.fricker.9) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Ideas for special considerations for the upcoming US Presidential debates between the very-old Trump and the very-old Biden, including giving them bathroom breaks and not using bells if they go over time (so you don't startle them and give them a heart attack). Also: dementia-based gaffes are the NASCAR car crashes which keep the debates interesting; gambling and drinking games for the debates; questioning whether you prefer a president who's older than you; Michigan cities have more memorable identities than Ohio cities Khurum Sheikh (facebook.com/khurum.sheikh) Ellie Snyder (twitter.com/EllieIsnt) Charles Fricker (facebook.com/charlie.fricker.9) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

A few silly ideas on how to intake caffeine while wearing a Covid mask, including Covid mask coffee filters, caffeine patches, and special glasses that squirt highly-concentrated droplets of caffeine into your ear Jason Gilleran (instagram.com/hardgcomedy) Dave Crumbley (instagram.com/davecrumbley) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Broken Knuckle Studio in Waterford, MI (Facebook: Broken Knuckle Studios)

Idea: To use SpaceX rockets to quickly transport elite rescue teams who specialize in a particular type of disaster (fire, earthquake, riot, etc.) to anywhere in the world to rescue people. They'd parachute out of the rocket to get to the disaster, and when finished, they'd take a normal commercial airplane flight to get back. Also: they could use special state-of-the-art multi-million-dollar rescue equipment (which they'd bring with them); we could reduce the amount of local cops and rescuers; rocket tips that look like klan masks Christian Royce (twitter.com/ChristianRoyce) David Sutherland (twitter.com/skrtskrtsuther1) Travis Tehlirian (YouTube: BlaspheMass Debate youtube.com/channel/UClsd_pJ1TEjst4C5pva1nzQ) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Broken Knuckle Studio in Waterford, MI (Facebook: Broken Knuckle Studios)

Idea: Stencils to help people "line up" or "shape up" their own hair using hair clippers. They would wrap around/over your head so you can't misposition them. They'd be designed to precisely fit your specific head by using a scanned 3D image of your head. Also: misunderstanding the word "hairline", the social consequences of messing up your line up, stencils for shaping your beard Christian Royce (twitter.com/ChristianRoyce) David Sutherland (twitter.com/skrtskrtsuther1) Travis Tehlirian (YouTube: BlaspheMass Debate youtube.com/channel/UClsd_pJ1TEjst4C5pva1nzQ) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Broken Knuckle Studio in Waterford, MI (Facebook: Broken Knuckle Studios)

Idea: Escape rooms with real danger, like the movie Saw, which are possibly televised. Also: a more intense corporate team-building exercise or test of character for engaged couples, white-collar criminals tend to be smarter than regular criminals and thus would be funner to watch in a Saw-like escape room, wondering why there aren't any recreational drugs that are taken using acupuncture needles Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 36 Kurt Brown (twitter.com/KurtBrownTown) Jason Alt (twitter.com/JasonEAlt) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: To create a TV show where the worst repeat-offender unrehabilitatable criminals (murderers, pedophiles, etc.) either compete for their survival, or are left alone to fend for themselves and try to survive. Also: it might accidentally encourage lesser criminals to commit worse crimes to be on TV, movies with a similar premise (Hunger Games, Death Race, The Running Man, etc.), fencing off states to be massive prison colonies like the George Carlin comedy bit, selling the "prisoner inventions" that the prison colonists invent while trying to survive Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 36 Kurt Brown (twitter.com/KurtBrownTown) Jason Alt (twitter.com/JasonEAlt) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: Cars that disable your cell phone while you're driving, so you don't cause a car accident trying to text or use the phone. Also: using a breathalyzer while driving at full speed; if cars blocked cell phones, idiots would try to use their phone by holding it out the window, causing them to lose their arms in car accidents or by hitting tree branches, making the US look like Sierra Leone Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 36 Kurt Brown (twitter.com/KurtBrownTown) Jason Alt (twitter.com/JasonEAlt) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A doorless refrigerator which consists of several standard-sized drawers which can each be plug-and-play gadgets, such as a drone-compatible can dispenser, an eco-friendly super-insulated drawer, a refrigerator-cooled high-speed computer, a body cooling rubber snuggie inflator, etc. Also: the refrigerator door is an enemy of technological progress, you'd only need to pay for the electricity to cool the subset of refrigerator drawers that you're actually using, mini-fridges with fewer drawers for tiny houses and dorms Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 36 Kurt Brown (twitter.com/KurtBrownTown) Jason Alt (twitter.com/JasonEAlt) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: To put fake robot fish in the ocean for scuba-divers and snorkelers to look at to compensate for the real fish that are dying off, and to create underwater theme parks to scuba-dive through such as Atlantis, haunted sunken pirate ship, Little Mermaid, scuba through the human body, etc. Also: mistaking a real shark for a robotic shark, a VR-headset scuba mask in an empty pool, "The best way I can describe the experience of snorkeling is 'a shared unspoken conspiracy of fake positivity' because everybody can see that the ocean is mostly dead" Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 35 Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Funny News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN6nBbMFIE03wqFz5PwAA3w) Gimmy Cipriano (twitter.com/theRealGimmyC, twitter.com/aBitTooMuch1) Austin Gosnell (twitter.com/AustinSGosnell YouTube: ThemBoyzSkittin https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCecjnYpM7fhNHkiQZEKElFw) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)
