Creativity Wasted

Idea: A restaurant which would serve ordinary people's leftovers to pretentious rich people. The fact that they serve leftovers is not a secret, it is it's selling point Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 72 Alwin Sheriff (Twitter: @AlwinTheSheriff YouTube: @jerk4eternity) Ted Moss (Twitter: @TedMossComedy) Justin Siekierka (Facebook: @justin.siekierka) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Rec...

An idea for a type of futuristic house which would inadvertently solve the Flint Water Crisis Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 72 Alwin Sheriff (Twitter: @AlwinTheSheriff YouTube: @jerk4eternity) Ted Moss (Twitter: @TedMossComedy) Justin Siekierka (Facebook: @justin.siekierka) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: A bracelet (or a hologram of a bracelet projected by a smart watch) which, when you shake someone's hand, (optionally) shows them your personality quiz results, and (mandatory, by law) shows them your criminal record. That way, when you meet new people, they instantly know if you're a good person or a bad person Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 72 Alwin Sheriff (Twitter: @AlwinTheSh...

Idea: A dating app where people who previously dated someone provide feedback and rating(s) that you can see in the dating app before you date them. The app will match people up based on these ratings provided by their previous dates Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 72 Alwin Sheriff (Twitter: @AlwinTheSheriff YouTube: @jerk4eternity) Ted Moss (Twitter: @TedMossComedy) Justin Siekierka (Fa...

A simple community-based technological innovation to help people lose weight, stop drinking, or resist other temptations that they don't otherwise have enough willpower to resist Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 71 Kevin Smith (Twitter: @CrassHeart Podcast: soundcloud.com/user-66991264) Jason Patterson (Facebook: @jason.patterson.77964) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcas...

Idea: A special pillowcase which contains a pouch to hold a condom, to use as a backup if you forgot to carry one in your wallet or keep one elsewhere in your house. Also, a great gift to awkwardly give your child on the day they move out of the house when starting college Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 71 Kevin Smith (Twitter: @CrassHeart Podcast: soundcloud.com/user-66991264) Jason Pa...

Idea: A sci-fi device and Netflix-like video streaming service to allow you to watch video of the past, anywhere and any time throughout history. Although, maybe it should be limited to stuff that happened more than 200 years ago, so you don't need to live in Stepford-like tyrannical politeness because people could catch you lying and/or watching pornography Originally from Creativity Wasted episo...

Window blinds are designed wrong, because when they are half open, they expose your groin to your neighbors and block your eyes from seeing out the window. There should be individually-adjustable window blinds controlled by an app, that way you can choose what you can see (and which body parts to expose) Brandon Ponke (IG: @bponke Twitter: @BPonke) Adam Walsh (Knuckleheads Comedy: IG: @khcomedy313...

Idea: Cars don't need batteries. Brakelights can be LED lights with batteries built into the bulb. The speedometer and console (except the fuel gauge) can be a phone app. The electricity needed to start the car (i.e. ignition) can be obtained by electric car charging stations which are being added to parking spots.

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 (Instagra...

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: moi...

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: @tho...

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) Reco...

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...

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 epi...

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 D...

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 Bar...

Idea: You should be able to steal pets if they like you more than their current owners 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 Podc...

Idea: If a you get a call from a telemarketer or a wrong number, you should be allowed to scam them, and they should be legally required to give you whatever you manage to scam from them, including money, a kidney, or a small child Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next-level-jeff-horste-se...

Idea: An app or electronic device (Street Justice) to help you humiliate or take revenge upon rude or reckless drivers. Also, should we have different car horns for different emotions, and/or eliminate the car horn?

Idea: An electronic device (LitBit) to help you keep track of your alcohol consumption. Not for health reasons.

Idea: A fan which is curved to always hit the entire room with air, instead of oscillating and annoying/teasing you with intermittent comfort 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: @kidwiththeha...

Idea; An app to tell you the best places (private, safe from cops and criminals) to hook up in your car, which you might want to do because you don't want to show your partner how gross your apartment is. Plus, a beneficial role for perverts in society Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next...
