Creativity Wasted episodes

  • Cat-A-Comb (Chris Karpinski)
    Idea: A pyramid or box-shaped structure that you put over a cat litterbox, which has an opening on the side for the cat to climb through to get to the litterbox. The opening contains a system of brushes to comb loose hairs (and dingleberries) off the cat as it leaves the litterbox. Hopefully the cat doesn't enjoy it so much that it brushes itself until it goes bald, or decides it doesn't need you to pet it anymore Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 61 Chris Karpinski (Twitter: @ComedyDadKzoo) Jay Stapes (Twitter: @jstapes_says) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

  • Media Holdup Podcast (Tom Walma)

    Idea: A podcast where a group of people of a variety of ages rate and discuss old movies, music, etc., and only discuss whether it "holds up", i.e. whether they enjoyed it when watching/listening the week before the podcast was recorded. Any discussion which isn't relevant to how much they enjoyed it (such as historical importance, critical accolades, etc.) would be interrupted. Unlike virtually all media review web sites, podcasts, etc., we wouldn't care about how groundbreaking a movie was or other snobby bulls***. The goal would be to help people find movies or other media that they'd enjoy consuming, which would likely be outside of the era where they would've seen it or heard of it based on their age, and therefore probably wouldn't have been recommended to them by software "recommendation engines" such as on Netflix Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 61 Chris Karpinski (Twitter: @ComedyDadKzoo) Jay Stapes (Twitter: @jstapes_says) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

  • Hologram-Projecting Watch (Jay Stapes)
    Idea: A watch which can project a holographic image above it (like in Star Wars). Attaching a small glass pyramid above the watch can simulate a hologram, but be careful not to forget that it's there and puncture yourself while wiping Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 61 Chris Karpinski (Twitter: @ComedyDadKzoo) Jay Stapes (Twitter: @jstapes_says) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

  • Boom-B-Gone (Chris Karpinski)
    Idea: A device to cancel out loud, vibrating bass from nearby cars when you're at a stoplight or stuck in a traffic jam. And maybe also wirelessly lock the person's car doors so they don't get out and attack you if they figure out that you silenced their music Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 61 Chris Karpinski (Twitter: @ComedyDadKzoo) Jay Stapes (Twitter: @jstapes_says) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

  • PredictionNet (Tom Walma)
    Idea: A web site to allow professionals (scientists, engineers, business leaders) or groups of professionals to make and share predictions about the future, including prediction algorithms (which are based on other predictions and where the predicted outcome changes week to week as new information is received). There would be snapshots of the prediction algorithms, so you can see how the prediction has evolved over time. You'd be able to see the past performance of somebody's predictions. Regular "unverified" people would be able to make predictions as well. And psychic abilities would be disproven (or proven) Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 60 Robert Jenkins (Twitter: @RobJComedy) Brent Von Kalamazoo(Twitter: @brentvonkzoo) Patrick Fowler (Twitter: @DontCallMePat) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

  • Educational Lifecasting (Patrick Fowler)
    Idea: "Truman Show"-like television shows, each of which follows somebody throughout their entire life without their knowledge, but for educational purposes, such as to show obese people how thin people shop for groceries Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 60 Robert Jenkins (Twitter: @RobJComedy) Brent Von Kalamazoo(Twitter: @brentvonkzoo) Patrick Fowler (Twitter: @DontCallMePat) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit
    8 min
  • Trump Distraction Parade (Brent Von Kalamazoo)
    Idea: An epic 3-year-long nationwide military parade led by Trump, who'd be in a luxury, platinum zeppelin, which would occupy Trump's attention until his presidency is over Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 60 Robert Jenkins (Twitter: @RobJComedy) Brent Von Kalamazoo(Twitter: @brentvonkzoo) Patrick Fowler (Twitter: @DontCallMePat) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit
    5 min
  • School Shooting Prevention Plan (Robert Jenkins)
    Idea: A 3-part plan to prevent school shootings: a) early childhood therapy, b) a "school shooter exchange program" which puts bullied white high-school boys in inner-city schools to "show them what real bullying is like", and c) legalized prostitution. Also: teachers using fake names when doing standup comedy, maybe the only people who should have guns are the people who don't want guns, why the best way to rid the country of guns might be to just do nothing Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 60 Robert Jenkins (Twitter: @RobJComedy) Brent Von Kalamazoo(Twitter: @brentvonkzoo) Patrick Fowler (Twitter: @DontCallMePat) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit
    14 min
  • Dead Parades (Tom Walma)
    Parades where you create a parade float for a semi-random dead person from your family or your community, intended to be a better way than graveyards to ensure that everyone gets remembered; could either be done yearly, or when removing the graveyard that the person is buried in (because of global warming sea rise, for example). Also: the crazy plot of the movie "How High", flooded graveyard zombies, "Day of the Dead" and "Coco" Aaron White (Facebook and IG: @aaaronwhite) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma IG: @tomwalma Web: creativitywasted.com) Recorded at Broken Knuckle Studio in Pontiac, MI (Facebook: Broken Knuckle Studios)

  • Mobile Farms (Tom Walma)
    Urban farms in shipping-container sized flower pots which fit in semi-trucks/trains/etc. That way, you can transport them to "farming factories" in both the spring to plant the crops and the fall to harvest them, so you don't have to farm inefficiently with human hands. You could also transport them into buildings to protect them from crop-destroying weather, and put them in suburban yards instead of lawns Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 59 Ryan Allen (Twitter: @ryanallen92) Chris Young (Twitter: @chrisyoungcomic) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma)
