Creativity Wasted

Idea: restaurant tables containing touchscreens for ordering food, so you don't need menus (or waitresses). Also: bumping the touchscreen while eating, accidentally stabbing the touchscreen with a knife if it looks like food, khakis taking over your wardrobe and the khakiness seeping into your soul Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 11 Dan Turco (twitter.com/Dansplaining) Chris Lazar Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: To intentionally eat uncooked chicken to get sick in order to lose weight. It would be normal uncooked chicken with cooking instructions on the package that leave it undercooked, and these instructions would justify charging twice the normal price. Also: a few other ridiculously unhealthy ideas for losing weight Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 11 Dan Turco (twitter.com/Dansplaining) Chris Lazar Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A professional baseball league where both men and women are equally represented on each team, and cheerleading counts towards the score of the game. Also: which other sports can women successfully compete against men, T-shirt cannons and mascot races between innings, barnstorming, Slamball and other failed sports leagues Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 11 Dan Turco (twitter.com/Dansplaining) Chris Lazar Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Ten (mostly dumb) ideas to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, including smelling bad on purpose to encourage social distancing, four ways to block particles being sneezed out or coughed up from spreading, two gadgets that prevent you from touching your face, an app which uses augmented reality glasses to highlight possibly-infected people to help you avoid them, "no-touch" bathrooms where you never have to touch anything (and risk getting Coronavirus on your hands) until you're finished and ready to wash your hands, and a few thoughts about reducing/preventing the spread of Coronavirus in restaurants Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus, Comedy Special: "Gettin Off Comedy Series" on Amazon Prime) Ahmed Mansour (twitter.com/AMan5our) Tyler Sonnichsen (https://tylersonic.com) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A blog to showcase the ridiculous excuses people give to comics (or other performers) when they don't want to go to their shows. Also: people repeatedly asking when you're performing and then never showing up, catching someone who made a BS excuse in their lie and then exploiting their guilt for free drinks, it probably won't break a performer's heart if you don't want to go to their show Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus, Comedy Special: "Gettin Off Comedy Series" on Amazon Prime) Ahmed Mansour (twitter.com/AMan5our) Tyler Sonnichsen (https://tylersonic.com) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A pill to quickly make you un-high if you have something important to do, like a job interview. Also: a failed attempt to counteract a high using other drugs, "Markus YOLO", speculation on futuristic Neuralink-style ways to get high or un-high Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus, Comedy Special: "Gettin Off Comedy Series" on Amazon Prime) Ahmed Mansour (twitter.com/AMan5our) Tyler Sonnichsen (https://tylersonic.com) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A washer/dryer combo consisting of only one machine, so you don't have to move clothes from the washer to the dryer. Note that these washer/dryer combos exist and are common overseas, but we heard that they don't work very well. Also: the joy of hang drying your clothes outdoors (if the outdoors isn't spoiled by smog), wearing latex so that you can wash and dry your clothes in the dishwasher, a (joke) WWII Coronavirus conspiracy theory Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus, Comedy Special: "Gettin Off Comedy Series" on Amazon Prime) Ahmed Mansour (twitter.com/AMan5our) Tyler Sonnichsen (https://tylersonic.com) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: Shock collars which shock cats when they're attacking birds, to keep pet cats from killing so many birds that the birds go extinct. The shock collars would use cameras and artificial intelligence to figure out when the cat is attacking a bird. The cameras could also provide fun cat-view video footage. The shock collars could also shock a mountain lion if it's eating the pet cat, to deter it from killing and eating future cats Justin Siekierka (facebook.com/justin.siekierka ComedyShow: facebook.com/Liberty-Street-Brewing-Co-116123201742619) Sarah Wooley (facebook.com/sarah.s.wooley.7) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Broken Knuckle Studio in Waterford, MI

Idea: An electric car charging station consisting of dozens of 2-stall garages, where each car is charged indoors in privacy in it's own 2-stall garage. The car being charged is in one side of a garage, and "something to do" for around 40 minutes is in the other side of the garage. Examples of "stuff to do" include private movie theaters, barbers, dentists, Redbox movie rental machines, restaurant tables, hot tubs, etc. The "things to do" could be wheeled in on demand and ordered using a phone app. These 2-stall garage facilities could basically replace entire cities, and could slow down the transmission of the Coronavirus because they reduce or eliminate person-to-person contact, and they can be modified to implement virus protection measures more easily than normal stores/businesses (for example, an airproof plastic sheet could be placed between the customer's side of the garage and the business/service side of the garage). They could also help small businesses financially survive the Coronavirus because these businesses would no longer need a storefront or fixed location building which would require them to pay rent every month. Also, they could be a place for you to watch a sad movie where other people can't see you cry Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Richie McLonis (instagram.com/richiemclonis Podcast: podomatic.com/podcasts/huntingrabbits) Bill Morrison (https://billthecomedian.rocks) Recorded by Broken Knuckle Studios over Skype (Facebook: Broken Knuckle Studios)

Idea: If a movie or TV series was ruined by a bad ending or a poor actor, but was otherwise good, they could replace the bad part and re-release it (instead of remaking the entire thing from scratch). There could be a Netflix series for these "fixed" movies. They could also be re-released to theaters and/or re-submitted for awards Bill Morrison (https://billthecomedian.rocks) Richie McLonis (instagram.com/richiemclonis Podcast: podomatic.com/podcasts/huntingrabbits) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded by Broken Knuckle Studios over Skype (Facebook: Broken Knuckle Studios)
