Brainstorming and sharing ideas is the funnest part of the creative process. We decided to skip the boring part of actually making stuff, and just do the fun part

    Meat Gum (Greag Brown)

    Idea: Gum that tastes like meat or a savory, meat-based meal, to help you lose weight, eat foods you'd otherwise be allergic to, etc. Also: brainstorming silly flavors and product names, such as "Gum-A-Petit" and "Bluekake"; combining tomato gum, lettuce gum, and beef gum to create a burger taste; the risk of blowing bubbles with your meat gum and getting attacked by a dog or a bear; using toddlers to manufacture the gum because they don't have the teeth to chew (i.e. steal) the gum; you can leave the gum on a park bench and a deer will come take it (and later die) so you don't have to clean the bench Greag Brown (facebook.com/gbcherub https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gregs-of-society/id1826617913) Rye Grae (instagram.com/ryegrae81) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    What Happened Here App (Tom Walma)

    Idea: An app where you mark your location if you observe (or drive by) a local incident (such as a police incident), and later, when public info is released, it sends you a notification telling you what happened. Also: Tom's anecdote of driving past an unconscious lady laying on the sidewalk shortly before the ambulance arrived and then never finding out what happened; the absurdity of having so much tech and still not being able to conveniently and reliably find out what's going on locally; the possibility of using this feature to "save local news" and/or partially fund the police department Matt TerBurgh (instagram.com/terburghmatt youtube.com/@mattterburghcomedy facebook.com/mattterburgh) Eileen Nolton (instagram.com/evnoltoncomedy facebook.com/enolton) Chris Young (https://chrisyoungcomic.com instagram.com/chrisyoungcomic) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Sappy The Sales Assistant Parrot (Matt TerBurgh)

    Idea: An AI-based parrot that would observe communications between a salesperson or customer service person and a client and help "grease the wheels" of communication. For example, by repeating ("parroting") what the salesperson just said but with less jargon, by being a language/culture translator, by interjecting humor if the interaction is becoming toxic, by interpreting body language to detect if someone is confused, etc. Also: it could have a "talk out loud mode" where the salesperson and client can both hear it, and a "whispering mode" where it speaks into an earpiece of the salesman (example: "Psst, I don't think he knows what a car wrap is"); it could learn from sales mistakes and remind you later (if a similar client shows up or a similar situation arises) to not repeat the same mistake, and also pass that learned knowledge onto other salespeople (especially rookies); it could have a "lie offload mode" for situations such as when your boss is encouraging you to up-sell to clients who don't really need it but you're morally opposed to ripping them off yourself (in which case, the parrot would do it instead) Matt TerBurgh (instagram.com/terburghmatt youtube.com/@mattterburghcomedy facebook.com/mattterburgh) Eileen Nolton (instagram.com/evnoltoncomedy facebook.com/enolton) Chris Young (https://chrisyoungcomic.com instagram.com/chrisyoungcomic) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Comedian Talent Show Improv Festival (Eileen Nolton)

    Idea: A standup comedy festival where the performers do one normal standup performance and also participate in at least one comedic improv/game/activity which showcases another one of their other talents, such as art, singing, magic, etc. Also: the talent shows wouldn't be competitions, and would often pair together comics with complimentary talents, such as singers, musicians, and dancers, who would have a few hours to collaborate to come up with a group performance; questioning whether puppetry would be allowed Matt TerBurgh (instagram.com/terburghmatt youtube.com/@mattterburghcomedy facebook.com/mattterburgh) Eileen Nolton (instagram.com/evnoltoncomedy facebook.com/enolton) Chris Young (https://chrisyoungcomic.com instagram.com/chrisyoungcomic) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Electronic Teaching Assistant App (Chris Young)

    Idea: An app used mostly by teachers (but also other types of public speakers, business presenters, etc.) that observes and understands the flow of information to people and provides (displays on smart glasses, speaks into an earpiece, etc.) on-the fly support for that information flow, such as highlighting/correcting errors, providing links to more detailed info or explanations, etc. Also: it would use AI to be able to follow along what you're reading, you're speaking, or you're listening to (including listening to students asking follow-up questions); it would use a lesson plan that you can quickly load into it (as opposed to using general AI data, which could cause it to go off the rails); it would know the context of the data flow (such as whether you're a person learning something new, a teacher refreshing prior-learned knowledge before giving a lesson, a teacher currently giving a lesson, a teacher listening to a student asking a question, etc.) and it would act differently accordingly to that context (for example, if you're a teacher giving a presentation, it wouldn't overload you with so much info that it'd break the flow of your lecture, or if you're learning something new by yourself for the first time, it might let you stew on an incorrect answer for a while to think it through before correcting you); it could maybe use tricks from scam psychics to feed you information in such a way that your audience can't tell that you're getting help Matt TerBurgh (instagram.com/terburghmatt youtube.com/@mattterburghcomedy facebook.com/mattterburgh) Eileen Nolton (instagram.com/evnoltoncomedy facebook.com/enolton) Chris Young (https://chrisyoungcomic.com instagram.com/chrisyoungcomic) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Cat and Sun Tent aka "Catio" (Tom Walma)

    Idea: A tent-like semi-portable structure for a suburban yard in which you can sunbathe (especially in the winter) and where you can take your indoor cat who wants to go outside. Also: it'd be designed so you can get into the tent and close it while holding the cat against your chest with one hand and without bending over (because if you bent over the cat could squirm away); it would use thick fabric and thick clear greenhouse plastic to keep heat in; it could be tinted to allow you to sunbathe in privacy (possibly even in the nude) and maybe also be used as an outdoor shower; you could maybe connect a "cat tube" to your house so the cat can come and go as they please Chris Barnwood (facebook.com/chris.barnwood instagram.com/chrisbarnwood) Alex Wilson (youtube.com/@thedropoutprofessor instagram.com/thedropoutprofessor Email: alexwilsoncomedy@gmail.com) Wes Allen (facebook.com/wes.allen.264240 instagram.com/wesallencomedy Email: wesallencomedy@gmail.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    S__cide Discouragement AI (Alex Wilson)

    Idea: Futurama-style "s__cide booths" that don't actually kill you but instead use AI and brain scans to convince you NOT to commit s__cide. Also: it could generate a "It's A Wonderful Life" or "A Christmas Carol" movie on-the-fly which is customized to your life; if it made people feel too good they'd want to stay in the booth forever; you could inject a timed poison in their body which can easily be removed so they have lots of time to back out if they regret their decision; crazy sci-fi future tech could eliminate many of the reasons for s__cide Chris Barnwood (facebook.com/chris.barnwood instagram.com/chrisbarnwood) Alex Wilson (youtube.com/@thedropoutprofessor instagram.com/thedropoutprofessor Email: alexwilsoncomedy@gmail.com) Wes Allen (facebook.com/wes.allen.264240 instagram.com/wesallencomedy Email: wesallencomedy@gmail.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Delivery Person Yard Obstacle Course TV Show (Chris Barnwood)

    Idea: A TV show where ordinary people build obstacle courses in their yards that delivery people have to traverse to get to the porch to drop off the package. If the delivery person succeeds (they don't drop it or give up or exceed a time limit), they get a reward (such as getting to pee in the house instead of into a bottle in the delivery truck), and if they fail, the homeowner who created the obstacle course gets a reward (such as choosing an additional package from the delivery truck). Also: examples of obstacles could include water or foam pits, tennis ball shooters, dogs, snakes, slides, and mousetraps; the employer would need to give the delivery person a break from their strict driving schedule to enable them to do an obstacle course; the obstacle course could double-up as yard decoration for an existing holiday, or "Prime Day" could be made into a new holiday where these obstacle courses are part of the festivities; an obstacle course could serve as a deterrent against package thieves Chris Barnwood (facebook.com/chris.barnwood instagram.com/chrisbarnwood) Alex Wilson (youtube.com/@thedropoutprofessor instagram.com/thedropoutprofessor Email: alexwilsoncomedy@gmail.com) Wes Allen (facebook.com/wes.allen.264240 instagram.com/wesallencomedy Email: wesallencomedy@gmail.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
