Creativity Wasted

Creativity Wasted is a podcast for sharing and joking about unpursued (wasted) ideas: invention ideas, futuristic sci-fi movie ideas, evil prank ideas, etc

Comedy writers and other creative professionals usually say that brainstorming and pitching ideas is the funnest part of the creative process. I decided to skip the boring parts and just do the fun part.

Tom Walma's idea: Two concepts of heat vent accessories that you can add to your car to blow warm air on you in a more satisfying way than the ones built into the dash (which only directly warm your hands and face and dry out your eyeballs). Also: heat vents as a zen meditation spot; Tom didn't realize that "air scarfs" already exist in some luxury car seats; Bluetooth-speaker-sized space heaters (without metal surfaces that could burn you) with rechargeable batteries that can attach to the headrest or a suit hanger; an air blower machine located below the car seat with an air nozzle near your seat belt that you can pull up to blow warm air inside your shirt

Also featuring Donte Lillard and JT Motley

JT Motley's idea: A roast-like award show where each comic is introduced by giving them an insulting award (such as "the comic with the most hit-with-a-brick mouth"), and their set/"acceptance speech" is a roast of the host, the other comics, and possibly also celebrities and/or random people in the audience. Also: it's loosely based on a "Chappelle's Show" sketch called "Playa Haters' Ball"; it's roast-like humor, but there's no "dais", everyone is the target of the insults, and there's no respectful "I roast you because I love you" backtracking at the end; comics are well-dressed but in an over-the-top pimp-like way (possibly also in a jokey persona like a pirate or a "Silicon Valley pimp") to make it easy for other comics to insult them; the show would also include games, sketches, and other comedic activities

Donte Lillard's idea: A service that provides multiple mall Santas of different races, genders, cultures, etc. Also: unique characteristics of the different flavors of Santa, such as an Irish Santa with a red beard and a thick accent that the kids can't understand; kids choosing a race of Santa that they think will give them the most presents or switching Santas if they didn't get the present they wanted the previous Christmas; a SantaBot controlled remotely by someone of the desired race from a call center; this idea must be implemented quickly before DEI goes away

Tom Walma's idea: A movie based loosely on the viral creepy clown fad of 2016, when, in real life, creepy clowns would wander around outside at night, and in response, mobs of people hunted for (and in a couple cases murdered) creepy clowns. In the movie, a creepy clown is murdered by a teenager who falsely claims self-defense, clowns take him and his family hostage in an attempt to demand he go to trial, and then chaos ensues in a Waco-style police standoff/siege. Also: the corrupt media would portray the clowns only as villains and wouldn't mention that innocent clowns were murdered (just like in real life); the clowns would do clown antics during the standoff/siege, like get shot and then pull a long rainbow handkerchief out of their pocket which then pulls out their intestines; the police/FBI leader, a man whos makeup artist used to do clown makeup and sympathizes with the clowns, is constantly pranked by her, such as having his microphone squeak like a clown nose when he bumps it during a press conference, and secretly putting clown makeup on him underneath his normal makeup so he looks like a clown when he sweats off his normal makeup

Also featuring Tyler Caldwell ("T-Dog The Unfathomable"), Dylan Farr ("The Autistic Spitfire"), and Josiah Garcia

Josiah Garcia's idea: Pop songs for middle-aged people which discuss middle-aged issues, such as erectile dysfunction and health issues, not getting along with your kids, wanting to buy a motorcycle, rigidly-scheduled lo******ng sessions, and partying because your kids finally moved out. Also: the songs could be performed either by middle-aged artists or by popular young artists; questioning whether young adults still listen to FM radio; using AI to tweak songs by popular artists to make them directly apply to your life situation

Also featuring Tyler Caldwell ("T-Dog The Unfathomable"), Dylan Farr ("The Autistic Spitfire"), and Tom Walma

14/11/2024

Dylan Farr ("The Autistic Spitfire")'s idea: A new dating app for autistic people. Also: facilitating dates at Lego stores, Comic-Con, or a train station; autistic-specific categories of interests, such as Adventure Time, WWE wrestling, Rubic's Cubes, etc. with a spectrum of how interested you are in the topic (because "no posers"); questioning the gender balance of people with autism, and the differences between autistic men and autistic women; using absurd tricks to help autistic men focus on pleasuring their partner; brainstorming names for the app, such as "Rizzm Tism"

Tyler Caldwell ("T-Dog The Unfathomable")'s idea: A road lane with barriers on both sides (like bumper bowling or a Hot Wheels track or a Boring Company tunnel) where it's legal to drive drunk. Also: instead of trying and failing to use police and strict penalties to prevent drunk driving, maybe it'd be safer (for other people) to allow people to drive drunk if they're a safe distance away; people paying to watch entertaining videos and livestreams of the drunk drivers crashing would help fund the drunk driving lane; maybe we could even "gamify" it like Mario-Kart and let people pay to drop obstacles or give the the drivers inventory (i.e. more beer)

Fat Steve's idea: Wind chimes that hang from the rear-view mirror of your car, which was a business idea his mom had when he was a kid. Also: questioning whether a wind chime clanging every time you use the brakes would be annoying; worrying that your mom's bad business idea will bankrupt the family

Also featuring Comedian Ryan Brown, Emmanuel Lechuga, and Tom Walma

21/10/2024

Tom Walma's idea: A high school class where you independently browse video and info of former students to see how they did in college, career, and life, to encourage you to relate that back to you to help you plan your academics, career, and life. Also: the video would include the former student sitting in class, socializing in the lunchroom and at school events, giving MTV-Real World style confessionals about their thoughts on their life/school/career, opinions about the student by their teachers/parents/friends/spouses, etc.; AI would help you quickly jump to interesting/relevant data/video about a student who you're curious about, such as whether they got a job in their chosen career and what they say about it; teachers would make you write reports comparing yourself to former student(s) and (for example) describing what you could do to achieve the same positive outcomes or avoid the negative outcomes; the AI/data could be corrupted by overprotective teachers and/or the browsing history of students in the class could be used to spot and punish future criminals

Nicole Melnyk's idea: An absurd brainstorming session on how to create T-shirts that you can wear for a week or more (because you're too lazy to pick out and/or change your clothes), including making T-shirts out of human skin so you can wear them and wash them while you shower. Also: multi-layered T-shirts where you can remove (or dissolve) the innermost layer which collects sweat before it starts to smell bad; tattooing someone else's skin and then grafting it onto your body (as an additional layer of skin) so you can remove it later and so you don't have to experience the pain of getting a tattoo; a failed prediction on what Nicole's podcast idea would be

08/10/2024

Jay Eoff's idea (satire): A college to be attended by only rich kids where they won't be annoyed by "poors" complaining about high tuition, and they learn rich people skills like white collar crime, avoiding taxes, condescension, etc. Also: majoring in crypto and minoring in convincing other people to invest their life savings into crypto; owning teams of poors who compete for them in sporting events (because the rich don't wanna get sweaty) and who perform in dog-show-like competitions; it would be located on an artificial island in the sky so they can drop trash down onto the poors; discussing loosely related topics, such as public speaking courses, fat camps for adults, Emma Stone, rich people doing risky things, man-made disasters caused by a single person's mistake, and Zeppelins

02/10/2024

Shelly Smith's idea: An improv show format which is an absurdist parody of a rigid agenda-based speech of a Toastmaster public speaking course. The name "toady mustard" is based on a funny autocorrect re-spelling of the word "Toastmaster". Also: the rigid agenda would give the improv performers clear roles and make the longform show feel like a series of distinct shortform games and bits (each agenda topic would be a different bit/game); absurdist agenda items could include dance breaks, giving the audience foot rubs, calling out the jerk of the room, etc.

Also featuring Lisa Green, Mike Geeter, Matthew Ryan, and Tom Walma

24/09/2024

Tom Walma's idea: A satirical weight loss program where you strategically jump between (mostly) unhealthy weight loss techniques to ensure you don't do any of them long enough to cause permanent bodily damage. Examples of weight loss techniques included in the program could be fasting, tapeworm, stimulants, medically-induced coma, Fen-Fen (a banned diet pill cocktail), Wim Hof ice hikes, a jug of pre-colonoscopy laxative, Alli (a drug which blocks fat absorption and can give you oily a**l leakage), getting flu/Covid on purpose, eating blowfish to fill up your stomach to prevent hunger, etc. Also: a medical professional would monitor you and pull you off an unhealthy weight loss technique early if necessary, and also, for example, make sure you don't do two things that are harmful to your liver in a row; it could be made into a competition show like The Biggest Loser with a spinning wheel for choosing the next technique or a Bride Wars-type show where people try to lose weight before getting married; questioning assumptions and laws concerning the level of harm of drugs

Also featuring Chris Young and Jae Gonzalez
