Creativity Wasted

Idea: An app/service to send social media messages to people on your behalf after you die, so you can get your revenge and/or say constructive things that you don't have the courage to say, and avoid dealing with the consequences. It could make money by charging you if you a) change your mind and don't want to send a message, or b) are on your deathbed and want to see other people's afterlife messages which they targeted to you Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 87 Chris Young (twitter.com/chrisyoungcomic Comedy Special Video: drybarcomedy.com/specials/chris-young-buoyant-mon) Camila Ballario (twitter.com/CamilaBallario Music Album: camilaballario.com/store) Dan Thomas (twitter.com/DanTComedy) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

Idea: A Shazam-like app to identify bird species by listening to them. It could give you info about the birds, including the species name, interesting trivia, how rare they are, whether it is legal to shoot them, and recipes for eating them Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 87 Chris Young (twitter.com/chrisyoungcomic Comedy Special Video: drybarcomedy.com/specials/chris-young-buoyant-mon) Camila Ballario (twitter.com/CamilaBallario Music Album: camilaballario.com/store) Dan Thomas (twitter.com/DanTComedy) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

Idea: "House wraps", which are kind of like car wraps, which would be much cheaper than expensive new siding, and could even look like siding, in which case you could also wear yoga pants that look like jeans and live a total lie Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 87 Chris Young (twitter.com/chrisyoungcomic Comedy Special Video: drybarcomedy.com/specials/chris-young-buoyant-mon) Camila Ballario (twitter.com/CamilaBallario Music Album: camilaballario.com/store) Dan Thomas (twitter.com/DanTComedy) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

Tom's obsession with "black balls" (author Nick Bostrom's metaphor for future technologies that could end humanity)gives him the idea for tiny houses which are built to withstand apocalyptic disasters, such as virus outbreaks or nuclear/meteor firestorms. Since they're mobile, you can drive them into apocalypse testing facilities, such as a "car wash that uses fire instead of water", to make sure they actually work Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 86 Kurt Brown (twitter.com/KurtBrownTown) Justin Siekierka (facebook.com/justin.siekierka) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

Idea: A Jurassic Park parody, where instead of the eccentric billionaire cloning dinosaurs (who run amok in a park and kill people), he clones dead professional wrestlers from the 1980s (who also run amok in a park and start killing people). Yokozuna stomps on the ground and causes the water in the cup to shake, The Ultimate Warrior shakes the fence and breaks loose, Macho Man is the dilophosaurus who spreads his colorful wings, the raptors are a tag team, and the main characters escape when the murderous wrestlers are attacked by an even larger murderous wrestler Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 86 Kurt Brown (twitter.com/KurtBrownTown) Justin Siekierka (facebook.com/justin.siekierka) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

Idea: Canoe-shaped sauce/condiment containers which are wide enough for dipping chicken wings. Also, Tom is mocked for not knowing the color of ranch dressing Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 86 Kurt Brown (twitter.com/KurtBrownTown) Justin Siekierka (facebook.com/justin.siekierka) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

Idea: A repellent spray to keep neighborhood cats out of your yard, so that they don't defecate in your flower pots. Environmentally-friendly alternative solutions are also discussed, such as dogs, and helping the "cat ladies" get dates so they don't try to fill the gaping holes in their souls with cats Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 86 Kurt Brown (twitter.com/KurtBrownTown) Justin Siekierka (facebook.com/justin.siekierka) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

Idea: An app to hire a stand-in if you don't want to go to a funeral, but you feel socially obligated to attend. They could sign your name in the funeral guest book, pretend to be you (except when talking to the handful of other people at the funeral who know you), listen to and/or record other people's conversations to give you info to use in future social situations, etc. Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 85 Mark Sweetman (twitter.com/MarkTSweetman) Nick Leydorf (twitter.com/NickLeydorf Podcast: anchor.fm/free-consultation) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

Idea/prediction: If a company like Tesla or Uber owns all of the cars instead of people owning cars, they will have a financial incentive to own the roads and keep the roads in good shape, because they would have to pay for damage to their massive fleet of cars due to potholes, etc. Also, they could remove "redundant roads" to save costs, because if it takes longer to deliver stuff to a place because the road on the most direct route no longer exists, that extra time doesn't cost much if the cars are all electric and self-driving Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 85 Mark Sweetman (twitter.com/MarkTSweetman) Nick Leydorf (twitter.com/NickLeydorf Podcast: anchor.fm/free-consultation) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)
