Creativity Wasted

Tom didn't floss. He bought a water pik, and he still didn't floss. He bought a water pik to go into his shower, and he still doesn't floss. So he thinks there should be an app to detect that you use the shower water pik, and if you don't use it, it blocks you from having hot water in the shower. That way, maybe he'll finally floss Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 70 Derek Brand (Instagram: @brand9470) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: A change is needed to the criminal justice system to prevent the "Twinkie Defense" and other ridiculous criminal defenses, because sometimes they succeed. Or maybe it's a good thing that criminals try to use dumb excuses Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 70 Derek Brand (Instagram: @brand9470) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: A baseball-width air hose to attach to the back of an oscillating fan, where the air hose leads to a cool basement or to cool night-time outdoor air (possibly using the same hole on the side of your house as the "bug disposal hole" from the previous idea) Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: A small hole in the side of your house or in a window to use to conveniently and humanely eject bugs from your house which you catch using a handheld "bug sucker" device Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: Comedian-vigilante service where comedians perform acts of revenge at night, possibly while wearing superhero costumes, between open-mic nights (of course) Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Brian wants community-run public shaming of people who do minor (legal) bad things like cutting someone off in public or insulting someone. Tom hates the idea, gets on his soapbox, and makes it awkward Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: A "baby translator" should be possible by now. Or at least a giant mother-scaring helmet that can analyze the baby's brain waves and figure out why it's crying, including where on its body a pain signal is coming from. Although this would lead to social pressure to use the brain-scanning helmet whenever out with the baby in public, such as on an airplane Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: Franchising of standup comedy open mics (and possibly other types of shows, like burlesque) by selling promotional templates, merch, and maybe even audio equipment as a package to people who want to run shows in other towns Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: Shock collars or "shock ankle bracelets" for unruly children, comedians who're bombing on stage, or people who're trying to quit smoking. Also, if in public, is it more humane (or less in-humane) to discretely shock someone's ankle or visibly spray them in the face with a spray bottle?

If they invented a device to allow dogs and cats to talk, they'd be better pets. Or they'd use their cuteness to steal jobs from beautiful people, and vote Republican Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next-level-jeff-horste-season-2-ep-204) Gimmy Cipriano (Twitter: @theRealGimmyC) Jacob Barr (Twitter: @kidwiththehands) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit
