Creativity Wasted

Idea: A service that delivers you customized candy/rewards inside clear locked boxes which you can't open until you meet your exercise goals, as determined by your Fitbit (or fitness tracker). Or you can choose for the rewards to be "mystery boxes", including possible cash prizes, but if you don't exercise enough to unlock the box within a few weeks, you have to ship it back, not knowing if you would've been a millionaire Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 75 Ken Witzgall (Twitter: @KenWitzgall42) Scott Gaughan (Facebook: @scott.gone) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea (NSFW): A service where the entire cast of a sitcom come to your house and perform the sitcom for you, either as dinner party entertainment, or in your bedroom while you lay in bed and try to sleep Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 75 Ken Witzgall (Twitter: @KenWitzgall42) Scott Gaughan (Facebook: @scott.gone) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: A device called the "Chivalry Device" which holds open your car door and "locks" it in one place, so elderly or disabled people can use the car door to help them stand up, and also hold open the door if you're parked on a hill. Hopefully it doesn't fail so that the car door is stuck open, because you might get pulled over for that Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 75 Ken Witzgall (Twitter: @KenWitzgall42) Scott Gaughan (Facebook: @scott.gone) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: Carrying around a small apple tree could help you relieve stress, and build up your arm muscles. But don't mess with the guy with the Avocado Buddy, because avocados are better throwing weapons Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 75 Ken Witzgall (Twitter: @KenWitzgall42) Scott Gaughan (Facebook: @scott.gone) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

A Freaky-Friday-type bodyswap scenario to help combat racism, and how Tom's futuristic head-in-a-jar scenario could actually make it possible Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 74 Robert Schneider (Facebook: @thecommanderawesome Comedy Show: facebook.com/comedyatthecomicshop) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: An inflatable clown which can be slid either through a mail slot in a front door, or slid under the door, and once inside, inflates like an auto-inflatable raft, to be nearly human-sized, to scare people Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 74 Robert Schneider (Facebook: @thecommanderawesome Comedy Show: facebook.com/comedyatthecomicshop) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: Launching steam created by nuclear power plants straight up into the air in cold areas such as Alaska or Antarctica, to make it snow onto land, to counteract sea rise due to glaciers melting and falling into the ocean Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 74 Robert Schneider (Facebook: @thecommanderawesome Comedy Show: facebook.com/comedyatthecomicshop) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: An app with the supernatural, comic-book-like ability to punch telemarketers through the phone as revenge for annoying you. Since most of them are located overseas and outside the jurisdiction of US criminal courts, there probably wouldn't be any legal ramifications Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 74 Robert Schneider (Facebook: @thecommanderawesome Comedy Show: facebook.com/comedyatthecomicshop) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Tom's idea for a futuristic tiny house where most (or all) of your stuff is wheeled in and out by robots. The idea also solves gerrymandering, makes "universal basic income" feasible, solves the Flint Water Crisis, and gives people the freedom to escape their miserable 9-to-5 office jobs and live nomadic lives of leisure. But everyone opposes it because it involves sharing toilets Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 73 Louis Michael (Twitter: @LouTheSurgeon) Nick Leydorf (Podcast: anchor.fm/free-consultation) Matt Hamilton (Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Tom Walma (Podcast: @thomaswalma) Recorded live at Crossroads Comedy Festival in Indianapolis

Matt wants to "quantum leap" into movies and experience the events of the movie as one of the characters. He also accidentally re-imagines several other plot points of the book "Ready Player One", which he'd never read because he considers it too nerdy. Tom proposes a gruesome, "mad science" way to approximate this idea in the real world Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 73 Louis Michael (Twitter: @LouTheSurgeon) Nick Leydorf (Podcast: anchor.fm/free-consultation) Matt Hamilton (Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Tom Walma (Podcast: @thomaswalma) Recorded live at Crossroads Comedy Festival in Indianapolis
