Creativity Wasted

Idea: Strip clubs which keep prices low by using old men wearing sweaters as strippers. Also: "lemon party", the smell of incontinent old men wearing sweaters and profusely sweating, giving the old men poor tips as revenge because they don't understand money and only gave you 25 cents to mow their lawn Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 20 Joel Fragomeni (Podcast: https://joelradio.net) Branden Milsk (twitter.com/BrandenMilsk) Sophia Spagnuolo (twitter.com/SophiaZada) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded live at Podcast Detroit (https://www.PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A presidential election where the candidates aren't announced until the day before the election. Also: debates don't matter because they aren't really debates anyway. Alternate idea: giving voters drugs that temporarily impair their memories on election day to force them to take a fresh look at the candidates Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 20 Joel Fragomeni (Podcast: https://joelradio.net) Branden Milsk (twitter.com/BrandenMilsk) Sophia Spagnuolo (twitter.com/SophiaZada) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded live at Podcast Detroit (https://www.PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A service for ordering and purchasing healthy fresh foods in convenience stores and gas stations where there are no nearby grocery stores (i.e. in "food deserts"). Customers pre-ordering via a phone app, intelligent predictive demand algorithms, and order sniping would allow this to be financially plausible. Also: solving a major world problem as a form of revenge to steal the glory from another person trying to solve the same problem Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 19 Alan Black (twitter.com/alanblah) Diego Attanasio (twitter.com/DiegoComedy) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A roll-on butter stick which looks like a stick of deodorant for buttering food without a knife. Also: confusing a roll-on butter stick with deodorant, accidentally putting bleach in the dishwasher instead of dishwasher detergent, squishing the bread Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 19 Alan Black (twitter.com/alanblah) Diego Attanasio (twitter.com/DiegoComedy) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A wide-tipped pencil to making it easier to fill in multiple choice circles on scholastic tests. Also: the most boring idea ever on this podcast, using giant novelty pencils to take the SATs, do scantrons still exist?

Idea (NSFW): A web site or app for crowdfunding cosmetic surgeries (primarily breast implants) in exchange for adult pictures and paraphernalia. Also: men not donating because "she's not hot yet", using post-surgery or botched surgery photos to gross out your friends, getting breast cancer on purpose to get insurance to pay for your breast implants Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 19 Alan Black (twitter.com/alanblah) Diego Attanasio (twitter.com/DiegoComedy) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A soccer-like sport played in a cylindrical court in the weightlessness of space (inside a spacecraft). The goals would be on each side of the cylindrical court, and players would bounce off the walls like pinballs and try to push a heavy medicine ball into the goal. A team would consist of a diverse group of people, including big strong people and tiny gymnastic people which can be easily tossed around by their teammates. Also: early NFL team purchase prices vs. current value, it could maybe be played in the "vomit comet" airplanes Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 18 Seth Resler (twitter.com/SethResler) Mike Rich (facebook.com/IAmNumbr4) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A person to set you up with an escort, and whose name shows up in the escort service's "books". Also: escort services calling your employer to verify your identity to help ensure the escort's safety Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 18 Seth Resler (twitter.com/SethResler) Mike Rich (facebook.com/IAmNumbr4) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: a scavenger hunt for foodies that showcases the signature foods of a city, such as Coney Island Dogs and Slows's BBQ in Detroit and crayfish in New Orleans. Also: cheating in scavenger hunts Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 18 Seth Resler (twitter.com/SethResler) Mike Rich (facebook.com/IAmNumbr4) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)
