Creativity Wasted

Idea: To sell de-shelled (but not beaten) eggs in a small plastic or glass bottle (like a Sunny D or Snapple bottle) so people don't have to worry about accidentally cracking the shell while making eggs. Also: people are lazy enough to buy de-shelled eggs and might even start associating "shelled eggs" with poor people; putting real eggs in toy plastic egg shells and then ruining a kid's Easter; breaking glass bottles containing eggs and recreating the movie "Die Hard" but with eggs; why Cheryl's mind is blown by chickens Eric Wilson (facebook.com/eric.wilson.712 instagram.com/ericwilsonlive) James River (facebook.com/jamesrivercomedy instagram.com/cesarspubcomedy) Cheryl Stoner (facebook.com/cheryl.stoner.comedian instagram.com/cherylstonercomedian) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A vocal voicemail-like program that uses AI to determine whether an incoming call (from a phone number that isn't whitelisted) can cause your phone to ring and/or leave a message. Also: using the AI prank a telemarketer or make them do a "Shark Tank"-style pitch; if a friend calls you at 2 AM for no good reason, the AI could block their call and revenge-call them the next night at 2 AM; an AI call interacting with your AI gatekeeper; Eric and Cheryl receiving weird AI/spam voicemails and messages that pretend to be a friend with a fake name Eric Wilson (facebook.com/eric.wilson.712 instagram.com/ericwilsonlive) James River (facebook.com/jamesrivercomedy instagram.com/cesarspubcomedy) Cheryl Stoner (facebook.com/cheryl.stoner.comedian instagram.com/cherylstonercomedian) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A mini-vacuum that could vacuum up cocaine spilled on the floor and/or cocaine residue off dollar bills and other things, and also maybe filter out the dust/debris and/or test for Fentanyl. Also: disrupting the drug-sniffing dog market; paying carpet cleaners in the cocaine that they obtained from vacuuming the carpet; similar inventions for sifting crack called the "Rock Tumbler" and for psychedelics that filters them out of urine Eric Wilson (facebook.com/eric.wilson.712 instagram.com/ericwilsonlive) James River (facebook.com/jamesrivercomedy instagram.com/cesarspubcomedy) Cheryl Stoner (facebook.com/cheryl.stoner.comedian instagram.com/cherylstonercomedian) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A lifestyle where you party on the weekend and go into an intentional coma during the week (or longer if necessary), during which you're weened off drugs, you lose weight (if necessary), basic and cosmetic hygiene (such as getting a tattoo) is performed on you, etc. and you afford the "coma punk" lifestyle by being an influencer, letting scientists experiment on your body, and/or by saving money by not needing an apartment. Also: you could do it temporarily during a flight, to recover from a bachelor party, or to lose weight instead of making it a lifestyle; if you were a "coma punk" during summer break in college, maybe you wouldn't be conscious long enough to forget your studies; the risk of waking up in a bad state hooked up to machines in a drawer, or waking up at the correct time but having floppy weak muscles like in "Kill Bill"; maybe this isn't plausible in real life but it would make a great movie plot Tyler Beans (facebook.com/tyler.warmbein.3) Emeka Nriagu (facebook.com/emeka.nriagu instagram.com/emurkadurk) Ben Champion (instagram.com/_champ_is.here facebook.com/ben.champion.39) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: An app that warns you if people you know are nearby in a public place (such as a grocery store) so you can avoid bumping into and having unwanted 10+ minute conversations with them. Also: ways to avoid people, such as wearing Mrs. Doubtfire masks, hiding behind bulk toilet paper, and running through the grocery store aisles like Pac-Man; maybe we should invent a hand gesture for "hi but let's not talk very long" (or just use the middle finger); some occupations (dentist, handyman, etc.) cause you to meet so many people in your neighborhood that running errands without getting trapped in unwanted conversations is difficult Tyler Beans (facebook.com/tyler.warmbein.3) Emeka Nriagu (facebook.com/emeka.nriagu instagram.com/emurkadurk) Ben Champion (instagram.com/_champ_is.here facebook.com/ben.champion.39) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: AI in a chatbot and/or in videogames that teaches you a foreign language. Also: being immersed in a conversation with a chatbot or in a videogame is more effective than learning in a classroom, and also AI could customize the language teaching to you; existing videogames that teach in clever ways such as "Typing of the Dead"; you could learn ancient Sumerian or Egyptian hieroglyphics from language teaching AI in a videogame and then show up at a real-life historical site and outshine the scholars/historians; AI that monitors you while you're watching foreign language TV and shows subtitles and/or replays sentences if you look confused Tyler Beans (facebook.com/tyler.warmbein.3) Emeka Nriagu (facebook.com/emeka.nriagu instagram.com/emurkadurk) Ben Champion (instagram.com/_champ_is.here facebook.com/ben.champion.39) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

A loose conversation about ideas for crazy movie sequels and spinoffs, including an idea for a sequel of the movie "Liar, Liar" where the kid uses his lie-preventing superpower to force mobsters and villains to tell the truth to their peril. Also: under-the-radar superheroes in movies such as the kid from "Liar Liar" and Mary Poppins; dirty (and not dirty) fan fiction and creepypastas; the movie Avatar and getting obsessed with movie worlds; future AI creating a VR world based on a side character in a movie so you can "live with them" Tyler Beans (facebook.com/tyler.warmbein.3) Emeka Nriagu (facebook.com/emeka.nriagu instagram.com/emurkadurk) Ben Champion (instagram.com/_champ_is.here facebook.com/ben.champion.39) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A TV show or web series which highlights tourist places and events that are going to disappear (or are at risk of disappearing), and also explains why and predicts how much time is left for the viewer to go there. Also: reasons for sites to disappear could be environmental, economic, physical deterioration, etc.; last-chance events such as the "Gathering of the Juggalos", "Burning Man", and "Running With the Bulls"; Carl's ironic obsession with the "Tower of History" in Sault St. Marie; highlighting at-risk tourist sites could cause people to rally to save them and thus make the last-chance video obsolete and angering the viewers Lucky Lee (instagram.com/luckyleecomedy chelsealuckyleewoudstra.weebly.com) David Carson (Email Newsletter: david-carson.com Blog: dumbify.beehiiv.com) Carl Sobel (linktr.ee/Carl_Sobel_Comedy facebook.com/ComedyNightAtRiverCitySaloon) Krinker (facebook.com/ryan.krinker) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A dating/hookup app combined with a food delivery app where one party (usually the male) arrives at their date's house with their date's food order for an at-home dinner date with the expectation of likely hooking up afterwards. Also: a more wholesome version ("Chef's Kiss") where the date brings a home-cooked meal; it would be good for guys who have body odor, because the food smell would mask the B.O.; Carl's app prototype called "Taco Meet" to help friends collect taco orders for a group order; multiple guys competing to deliver "Five Guys" to one woman, which would be "so many guys" Lucky Lee (instagram.com/luckyleecomedy chelsealuckyleewoudstra.weebly.com) David Carson (Email Newsletter: david-carson.com Blog: dumbify.beehiiv.com) Carl Sobel (linktr.ee/Carl_Sobel_Comedy facebook.com/ComedyNightAtRiverCitySaloon) Krinker (facebook.com/ryan.krinker) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A comedy/horror sitcom about a salon and spa which is run by a friendly ghost and markets itself as haunted. Also: a salon mirror showing a customer giving an evil smile instead of their reflection; scared customers jumping and causing the stylist to cut a bald spot in their hair; claiming your ghost boss Ratatouille'd you in order to blame her for screwing up a haircut Lucky Lee (instagram.com/luckyleecomedy chelsealuckyleewoudstra.weebly.com) David Carson (Email Newsletter: david-carson.com Blog: dumbify.beehiiv.com) Carl Sobel (linktr.ee/Carl_Sobel_Comedy facebook.com/ComedyNightAtRiverCitySaloon) Krinker (facebook.com/ryan.krinker) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A 1980s-themed fitness center/camp, including Rocky/Rambo/Schwarzenegger movies on all of the TVs and inspirational "Eye of the Tiger"-style songs for all of the music, old-school karate and martial-art classes which have been made obsolete by MMA, Footloose-"Dirty Dancing" themed dance classes and dance-offs, etc. Also: a "Point Break"-themed pool, a Deathsport-style underground fighting tournament, breakdancing, instructors wearing blue jeans and smoking cigars, etc.; a real-life roller derby "running of the bulls" bar crawl where the derby girls smack people with pool noodles Lucky Lee (instagram.com/luckyleecomedy chelsealuckyleewoudstra.weebly.com) David Carson (Email Newsletter: david-carson.com Blog: dumbify.beehiiv.com) Carl Sobel (linktr.ee/Carl_Sobel_Comedy facebook.com/ComedyNightAtRiverCitySaloon) Krinker (facebook.com/ryan.krinker) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: Taxidermied animals as emotional support animals for situations where you can't have a living emotional support animal, such as if you can't get a doctor's note, you're allergic, or you just can't handle the upkeep of a living pet. Also: it's like the evil "blood diamond" version of a stuffed animal; the horror of seeing someone on a plane having a panic attack while intensely squeezing a dead animal; a Tamagotchi taxidermied animal that you have to care for, or a robotic one which is controlled remotely by a real pet so you can "mute" or disable it on a plane if it's causing trouble; other clever and/or practical uses of taxidermied animals, such as a cup, a fire extinguisher, or a literal drug mule Lucky Lee (instagram.com/luckyleecomedy chelsealuckyleewoudstra.weebly.com) David Carson (Email Newsletter: david-carson.com Blog: dumbify.beehiiv.com) Carl Sobel (linktr.ee/Carl_Sobel_Comedy facebook.com/ComedyNightAtRiverCitySaloon) Krinker (facebook.com/ryan.krinker) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: For ski resorts to use self-driving snowmobiles or golf carts (on an enclosed paved path) instead of ski lifts. Also: ski lifts are an unnecessary fear endurance challenge that must be completed before doing the sport of skiing, and how similarly dumb it would be if a baseball stadium made you walk through a hall of spiders before you could play baseball; shooting archery targets while riding on a ski lift; practicing your comedy set verbally while floating in a public sensory deprivation tank Kim Cook (https://kimcookcomedy.com) Tommy Cook (instagram.com/tommycooklol https://tommycooklol.carrd.co/) Brian Atkinson (https://brianacomedian.com facebook.com/BrianAcomedian) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: An app that recommends movies for couples based on their overlapping interests for them to watch together. Also: modes such as "compromise mode" for when you're feeling generous and willing to watch a movie more aligned to your partner's interests; using AI and data from many sources (watch history, you social media, etc) to better understand your movie preferences; using AI to generate, combine, or modify movies (examples: "Kill Bill The Musical"; a war movie with a small romantic subplot where the "happily ever after" seamlessly transitions into a full-on romantic comedy); magnetic helmets that temporarily shut off or amplify parts of your brains to better align your movie preferences Kim Cook (https://kimcookcomedy.com) Tommy Cook (instagram.com/tommycooklol https://tommycooklol.carrd.co/) Brian Atkinson (https://brianacomedian.com facebook.com/BrianAcomedian) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A deposit (such as $5.00) similar to a bottle deposit which you pay when you buy electronics and you get back when you recycle them. Also: electronics that get up and leave if you're not worthy of their time or they are due to be recycled; 1970s recycling mascots and Kim's hatred of "hatless owls"; Apple has a good recycling program but arguably misleads you about the possibility of a trade-in refund/discount; maybe you could get paid to recycle your electronics if you don't wipe your data off of them and you allow the recycling company to sell your data Kim Cook (https://kimcookcomedy.com) Tommy Cook (instagram.com/tommycooklol https://tommycooklol.carrd.co/) Brian Atkinson (https://brianacomedian.com facebook.com/BrianAcomedian) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: Replacing teeth or part of your jaw with a vibrator to enhance (or automate) your oral pleasuring skills. Also: swapping between normal dentures and softer vibrating teeth or having teeth that can deflate to soft pleasure mode and inflate to hard chewing mode; questioning the need to do oral if you've got a vibrating device; if bone conduction headphones cause headaches, imagine the headaches from a vibrator built into your mouth Josiah Garcia (instagram.com/the_not_so_good_wrestler linktr.ee/AllendaleComedyOpenMic) Tyler "T-Dog the Unfathomable" Caldwell (instagram.com/thetac32 x.com/TheTAC32) Dylan "The Autistic Spitfire" Farr (instagram.com/autisticspitfirecomedy, facebook.com/dylan.p.farr, Spitfire Comedy at Sticks in Ypsilanti) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A dark comedy heist movie where five nerds decide to rob an armored truck full of cash by driving it into a sinkhole in Florida and then swimming through unmapped underground rivers in scuba gear to make their escape. Also: a documentary where scuba drivers in Florida were swimming in an underground river underneath a Walmart and then come to the surface in what looks like a large puddle in a suburban backyard; nerds trying to commit a real robbery (i.e. not hacking) to increase their "manliness" or "toughness" at the same time they get rich; how the heist which was planned to be nonviolent could go wrong in extremely disturbing ways; the podcast guests hyper-fixating on a small non-essential part of the movie plot to the embarrassment of the host Abbie Lemke (facebook.com/abbie.lemke facebook.com/garagebaropenmic) Jeffrey Scott (facebook.com/JeffreyScottComedy) The Beaveman (facebook.com/Beavemancomedy facebook.com/slaptail.squad Podcast: https://theslaptailsquad.buzzsprout.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: An action movie where an inept Trump-like leader stumbles incompetently into a sci-fi futuristic war and drafts young people into the military, but their ex-military parents strike a deal to go to war in their place. Also: an electromagnetic pulse could render tech obsolete and leave young tech-dependent fighters reliant on older people with more practical skills; questioning the morality of manipulating naive impressionable young men into joining the military; going to war twice for the sake of protecting your adult children could make them feel like it's impossible to earn their parents' respect Abbie Lemke (facebook.com/abbie.lemke facebook.com/garagebaropenmic) Jeffrey Scott (facebook.com/JeffreyScottComedy) The Beaveman (facebook.com/Beavemancomedy facebook.com/slaptail.squad Podcast: https://theslaptailsquad.buzzsprout.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: Movies that are only shown in one physical dimension (1D) e.g. width. Also: instead of watching 3D movies by wearing 3D glasses, you'd watch 1D movies by wearing an eye patch; 3D schlock horror movies from the 1970s where it looks like the axe is flying towards you; storing 1D movies on cylindrical discs; remaking 2D movies in 1D; using wormholes and time travel to show movies in 4D Abbie Lemke (facebook.com/abbie.lemke facebook.com/garagebaropenmic) Jeffrey Scott (facebook.com/JeffreyScottComedy) The Beaveman (facebook.com/Beavemancomedy facebook.com/slaptail.squad Podcast: https://theslaptailsquad.buzzsprout.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A device that allows you to interpret the language/feelings of animals and also maybe speak their languages. Also: the risk of such a device turning people into "crazy cat ladies" who no longer talk to people; our "innocent" pets might actually be disgusting perverts; being bitterly jealous of the main character of the cartoon "The Wild Thornberrys" because she can communicate with animals and you can't Abbie Lemke (facebook.com/abbie.lemke facebook.com/garagebaropenmic) Jeffrey Scott (facebook.com/JeffreyScottComedy) The Beaveman (facebook.com/Beavemancomedy facebook.com/slaptail.squad Podcast: https://theslaptailsquad.buzzsprout.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: To mix weed with something (like Ozempic) to keep it from giving you the munchies and causing you to gain weight. Also: obesity from weed is the actual gateway to harder drugs (because the harder drugs don't make you gain weight like weed does); caffeine or stimulants in the weed to get you up and moving to burn calories would ruin the weed; a joint that glues your mouth shut for a couple hours so you can't eat; using "smart devices" such as a timed lockbox that locks your weed or a weed-smelling lockbox that locks your Doritos if you're high and have the munchies (but then a hacker could hold your weed hostage in your lockbox until you send him Google Play gift cards) Josiah Garcia (instagram.com/the_not_so_good_wrestler linktr.ee/AllendaleComedyOpenMic) Tyler "T-Dog the Unfathomable" Caldwell (instagram.com/thetac32 x.com/TheTAC32) Dylan "The Autistic Spitfire" Farr (instagram.com/autisticspitfirecomedy, facebook.com/dylan.p.farr, Spitfire Comedy at Sticks in Ypsilanti) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea (satire): An AI assistant that validates everything you think and helps you do anything you want, including evil or unhealthy things. Also: recommending things for you that it determines you'd enjoy but that you're not emotionally ready to accept; validating your crazy thoughts and making your mental illness worse; using the AI as an alibi if you get in trouble with the cops; other scary futuristic tech, such as "drive-by-wire" computerized car steering and RFID chip implants Josiah Garcia (instagram.com/the_not_so_good_wrestler linktr.ee/AllendaleComedyOpenMic) Tyler "T-Dog the Unfathomable" Caldwell (instagram.com/thetac32 x.com/TheTAC32) Dylan "The Autistic Spitfire" Farr (instagram.com/autisticspitfirecomedy, facebook.com/dylan.p.farr, Spitfire Comedy at Sticks in Ypsilanti) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 Donte Lillard (linktr.ee/dontelillard facebook.com/DogComicProductions) JT Motley (youtube.com/@JTMotley facebook.com/jamie.kidmoten) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 (linktr.ee/dontelillard facebook.com/DogComicProductions) JT Motley (youtube.com/@JTMotley facebook.com/jamie.kidmoten) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 Donte Lillard (linktr.ee/dontelillard facebook.com/DogComicProductions) JT Motley (youtube.com/@JTMotley facebook.com/jamie.kidmoten) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 Josiah Garcia (instagram.com/the_not_so_good_wrestler linktr.ee/AllendaleComedyOpenMic) Tyler "T-Dog the Unfathomable" Caldwell (instagram.com/thetac32 x.com/TheTAC32) Dylan "The Autistic Spitfire" Farr (instagram.com/autisticspitfirecomedy, facebook.com/dylan.p.farr, Spitfire Comedy at Sticks in Ypsilanti) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 lovemaking 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 Josiah Garcia (instagram.com/the_not_so_good_wrestler linktr.ee/AllendaleComedyOpenMic) Tyler "T-Dog the Unfathomable" Caldwell (instagram.com/thetac32 x.com/TheTAC32) Dylan "The Autistic Spitfire" Farr (instagram.com/autisticspitfirecomedy, facebook.com/dylan.p.farr, Spitfire Comedy at Sticks in Ypsilanti) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A new dating app for autistic people. Also: planning dates at Lego stores, Comic-Con, or a train station; creating 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" Josiah Garcia (instagram.com/the_not_so_good_wrestler linktr.ee/AllendaleComedyOpenMic) Tyler "T-Dog the Unfathomable" Caldwell (instagram.com/thetac32 x.com/TheTAC32) Dylan "The Autistic Spitfire" Farr (instagram.com/autisticspitfirecomedy, facebook.com/dylan.p.farr, Spitfire Comedy at Sticks in Ypsilanti) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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) Josiah Garcia (instagram.com/the_not_so_good_wrestler linktr.ee/AllendaleComedyOpenMic) Tyler "T-Dog the Unfathomable" Caldwell (instagram.com/thetac32 x.com/TheTAC32) Dylan "The Autistic Spitfire" Farr (instagram.com/autisticspitfirecomedy, facebook.com/dylan.p.farr, Spitfire Comedy at Sticks in Ypsilanti) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 Fat Steve (instagram.com/fatstevecomedy) Emmanuel Lechuga (instagram.com/emmanuel_lechuga_comedy) Ryan Brown (https://linktr.ee/brownryancomedy instagram.com/brownryancomedy) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 Jay Eoff (facebook.com/jay.eoff.3) Nicole Melnyk (linktr.ee/nicooldude420 instagram.com/mcfancyvonpants tiktok.com/@nicolemelnyk) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 Jay Eoff (facebook.com/jay.eoff.3) Nicole Melnyk (linktr.ee/nicooldude420 instagram.com/mcfancyvonpants tiktok.com/@nicolemelnyk) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 Jay Eoff (facebook.com/jay.eoff.3) Nicole Melnyk (linktr.ee/nicooldude420 instagram.com/mcfancyvonpants tiktok.com/@nicolemelnyk) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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. Lisa Green (facebook.com/lisa.green.8 https://linktr.ee/depottowncomedy) Shelly Smith (facebook.com/shelly.smith.9210 Podcast: https://www.readsandweeds.com) Matthew Ryan (facebook.com/matthew.ryan.911) Mike Geeter (facebook.com/michaelgeeter1969 https://samroseent.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

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 anal 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 Chris Young (http://www.chrisyoungcomic.com Comedy Special Video: https://www.drybarcomedy.com/chrisy) Jae Gonzalez (instagram.com/comedyxjae) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: To expand the forklift driving championship into a multi-city touring competition/festival, and also expand it to include a variety of forklift and warehouse-related events. Also: forklift events could include obstacle courses (difficult turns, uneven and wet floors, mannequins or robots in the way, etc.), box stacking (speed, height, perfect box alignment), picking up and moving things without knocking over nearby things (kind of like Jenga or a puzzle), team events, racing against auto-pickers (robotic forklifts), etc.; non-forklift events could involve cranes, semi trucks, Amazon warehouse-style manually gathering of items from shelves, etc.; a tour could involve traveling pros competing against each other, amateur events, and possibly allowing amateurs to compete against the pros (like a pro-am); maybe WWE-ify it with foam boxes that are almost guaranteed to tumble down and forklifts that are modified to safely crash Chris Young (http://www.chrisyoungcomic.com Comedy Special Video: https://www.drybarcomedy.com/chrisy) Jae Gonzalez (instagram.com/comedyxjae) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: An AI-based app which runs on nearby people's (primarily teenagers) phones/Airpods and/or augmented reality glasses that filters (in real-time) how they hear and/or see you in order to make them perceive you as "cool". Also: making it appear like you're saying cool Gen Z/Alpha slang, and a list of recent slang words/expressions and whether we think they're funny; it could be customized based on the age of the person wearing the Airpods/glasses to make a middle-aged person seem cool to their elderly parents and vice-versa; it could also translate slang so you can understand what the kids are saying and/or tell you if a song or product is "cool"; if 50 year old celebs like Kenny Chesney and Snoop Dogg can be perceived by kids as cool, why can't their parents and teachers (with the help of this app)?

A loose conversation and brainstorming session about pranks, many performed by EMTs in an ambulance, and an idea to turn an old ambulance into a prank/flashmob entry/getaway vehicle. Also: a prank involving stealing pizzas and/or spoiling them by putting pineapple on them; using "Oh Danny Boy" from the Chumbawumba song "Tubthumping" as the siren for the prankulance; a heist movie parody with five pranksters and the prankulance, involving stealing extra food from parties and (like Robin Hood) redistributing it to needy broke comedians, and also handing babies live chickens (as a distraction during the food theft, and also because Shelly thinks babies holding chickens are really cute) Lisa Green (facebook.com/lisa.green.8 https://linktr.ee/depottowncomedy) Shelly Smith (facebook.com/shelly.smith.9210 Podcast: https://www.readsandweeds.com) Matthew Ryan (facebook.com/matthew.ryan.911) Mike Geeter (facebook.com/michaelgeeter1969 https://samroseent.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: An app that keeps track of all of your food orders from all apps and allows you to quickly search through them to find a meal to order again. Also: it shouldn't take 300 clicks and a memory puzzle to find a specific dish in food delivery app(s); the hilariousness of kids using apps to order crazy things like 1000 popsicles; combining the food history app with Spotify to recommend foods based on your mood; the creepiness of predictive/AI apps and privacy-violating apps, such as when social media apps figure out women are pregnant before they do; ranting about social media pet peeves Lisa Green (facebook.com/lisa.green.8 https://linktr.ee/depottowncomedy) Shelly Smith (facebook.com/shelly.smith.9210 Podcast: https://www.readsandweeds.com) Matthew Ryan (facebook.com/matthew.ryan.911) Mike Geeter (facebook.com/michaelgeeter1969 https://samroseent.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A comedic performance (either on stage or on TikTok) in an over-the-top costume representing one of the seven chakras which shows both love for and criticism of gurus and the culture of yoga, meditation, and "New Age"/"Eastern" religion/spirituality. Also: Shelly walking through the audience of a comedy club spreading sage and blessing hecklers while dressed as a "root chakra" in a brown root-like skirt with megaphones sticking out of her neck; brainstorming the performance style (Colbert Report-style embodiment of a crazy guru, speaking in deep lingo that the audience won't understand, comedic jumps between deep new-age spiritual concepts and broad topics i.e. "when I'm embodying my highest self I don't eat donuts"), the artistic ideal of focusing exclusively on your artistic vision and not worrying about or even finding out (in the case of social media) what the audience thinks; the risk of failing to live up to that artistic ideal and bombing painfully and becoming the crying girl in a flower costume in the Blind Melon "No Rain" music video Lisa Green (facebook.com/lisa.green.8 https://linktr.ee/depottowncomedy) Shelly Smith (facebook.com/shelly.smith.9210 Podcast: https://www.readsandweeds.com) Matthew Ryan (facebook.com/matthew.ryan.911) Mike Geeter (facebook.com/michaelgeeter1969 https://samroseent.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A sci-fi teleportation device built into showers (because "Dr. Who"-style phone booths don't really exist anymore, and therefore the shower is the most common pod-shaped location to use for teleportation). Also: keeping your shower cleaner because people will be teleporting in and out of it; using it to escape from bad dates; always teleporting to remote toilet facilities instead of having a toilet in your house; kids teleporting between bathrooms in their house to confuse their parents (like a chase scene in Scooby Doo); burning yourself with hot water in the shower and then accidentally pressing the teleport knob and getting teleported to a random house Lisa Green (facebook.com/lisa.green.8 https://linktr.ee/depottowncomedy) Shelly Smith (facebook.com/shelly.smith.9210 Podcast: https://www.readsandweeds.com) Matthew Ryan (facebook.com/matthew.ryan.911) Mike Geeter (facebook.com/michaelgeeter1969 https://samroseent.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A movie musical where the deceased lead singer of Linkin Park (Chester Bennington) is contacted via seance by his grieving children. Then, in order to solve their financial woes and to help them emotionally, he performs a new music album from beyond the grave. His voice would be generated for the movie using AI. Also: AI voice replication is getting really, really good; in the movie, he can only communicate from beyond the grave "in song"; it doesn't make sense that AI gets the artsy jobs and we have to pour over numbers; getting plastic surgery to look like a deceased singer and then getting an AI-based vocal implant to sound like them Pam Palmieri (facebook.com/pam.palmieri instagram.com/pampalmiericomedy Comedy Shows: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561507017993) Alex Wilson (facebook.com/mralexwilson youtube.com/@thedropoutprofessor https://the-dropout-professor.medium.com) Bryan Deuchler (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084687192997 https://cartoontonic.buzzsprout.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A TV show where people air grievances against engineers of bad and/or needlessly difficult to repair products, and the engineer responsible either immediately faces severe consequences (decided by the audience), or they have a chance to repair a broken product, and if they designed it so poorly that they fail to quickly repair it, then they (and possibly even their family) face the severe consequences. Also: debating whether Pam's grievance was actually the fault of an engineer; expanding the idea to punish other people who screw you over (either intentionally or through incompetence), such as mechanics, service workers, and realtors; customer service reps would either be immediately put on the chopping block for angering consumers, or would have immense power in deciding who's fault the problem was to put them on the chopping block instead Pam Palmieri (facebook.com/pam.palmieri instagram.com/pampalmiericomedy Comedy Shows: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561507017993) Alex Wilson (facebook.com/mralexwilson youtube.com/@thedropoutprofessor https://the-dropout-professor.medium.com) Bryan Deuchler (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084687192997 https://cartoontonic.buzzsprout.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A TV show where real-life disputes are resolved via boxing matches and comedians commentate and then roast the winner (because roasting the loser would be too cruel). Also: providing a healthier outlet for male rage than gun violence; offering the bully free therapy instead of roasting them (because the US will do anything to avoid universal health care); comparing the idea to the TV show "Bully Beatdown" and discussing whether bullies are a fundamental aspect of this show (and deciding that they are not); having themed episodes, such as teachers vs. grown-up disruptive students, IT workers vs. annoying tech-illiterate office workers, Karens, etc. Pam Palmieri (facebook.com/pam.palmieri instagram.com/pampalmiericomedy Comedy Shows: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561507017993) Alex Wilson (facebook.com/mralexwilson youtube.com/@thedropoutprofessor https://the-dropout-professor.medium.com) Bryan Deuchler (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084687192997 https://cartoontonic.buzzsprout.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A semi-satirical DNA-analyzing and family tree investigation service that only tells you negative aspects of your family tree, such as ancestors who did evil things, parents who aren't actually your biological parents, and inherited diseases that will probably kill you. Also: it could "unite everyone in hating where we come from"; maybe everyone should be forced to use this service in order to "air out everyone's dirty laundry" all at once; it might backfire if teenage boys find it "metal" and exciting to be related to a historical villain; this service could also solve historical crimes "for evil reasons" i.e. to bum out the murderer's descendants Pam Palmieri (facebook.com/pam.palmieri instagram.com/pampalmiericomedy Comedy Shows: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561507017993) Alex Wilson (facebook.com/mralexwilson youtube.com/@thedropoutprofessor https://the-dropout-professor.medium.com) Bryan Deuchler (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084687192997 https://cartoontonic.buzzsprout.com) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A mount on a lawnmower for a weedwacker, so you can use the weedwacker while mowing instead of having to walk around the yard twice (once while mowing and once while weedwacking). Also, maybe weedwacker(s) could mount in front of the lawnmower wheels and run while you mow to widen the mowing width. Also: getting rid of the mower blade and just making a lawnmower out of a bunch of weedwackers; robotic Roomba-style lawnmowers exist now; Roombas and how often a house should be vacuumed (and other home/hygiene things); a burner attachment to burn yard waste so you don't have to keep emptying the bag Jen Frissina (facebook.com/jen.frissina) Steve Smargon (facebook.com/steve.smargon instagram.com/bipolarmarine) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A videogame-style "damage meter" and/or list of worst physical/mental/criminal attributes that nearby people can view about you (and you can view about them) on your phones. Also: it'd be useful during dating because it'd contain the stuff that people leave off their dating profile; it could alert you if someone's damage meter indicates they're a threat; evil people hurting you to see your damage meter increase in real-time; life-threatening health issues causing you to be less patient with other people Jen Frissina (facebook.com/jen.frissina) Steve Smargon (facebook.com/steve.smargon instagram.com/bipolarmarine) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: A standup comedy show in a "corgi cafe" where comedians have to compete with corgis for the audience's attention. The corgi may be on stage and there may be a vote or a penalty (such as reduced stage time) for losing against the corgi. Also: corgi vs. doge; the corgi and the comic must abide by the same rules (ex: if the dog barks, the comic can bark); unusual and nightmare comedy shows, such as a show where they shock the comic, a show in an insane asylum, and a show where a baby threw a diaper at the comic Jen Frissina (facebook.com/jen.frissina) Steve Smargon (facebook.com/steve.smargon instagram.com/bipolarmarine) Bruce Umpstead (facebook.com/umpstead instagram.com/bruceumpstead) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: Underwear with sports team logos or colors on them to be worn on game nights for luck. Also: making your friend wear your team's underwear on the outside of his pants as a penalty for losing a bet; giving yourself a wedgie to show your team spirit; complementary undies for couples; questioning whether "undy" is a real word or whether it's always plural, i.e. a "pair of undies" Jen Frissina (facebook.com/jen.frissina) Steve Smargon (facebook.com/steve.smargon instagram.com/bipolarmarine) Bruce Umpstead (facebook.com/umpstead instagram.com/bruceumpstead) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: An "exophone" containing a metal box in which you put your Apple/Android phone to block its WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and microphone. The metal box has one USB/lightning cable sticking out, through which all data is passed between the Apple/Android phone and the exophone, including screen output, touch screen input, mic input, speaker output, Bluetooth, wired Ethernet (with location info stripped), etc. The exophone would contain it's own screen/mic/speaker/WiFi/cellular whose data is sent through the USB/lightning cable to the Apple/Android phone. There would be several physical switches on the exophone to enable/disable sending different types of data (such as GPS, Bluetooth, microphone) into the Apple/Android phone. That way, you have physical/hardware control over your privacy (because Apple, Google, and software in general cannot be trusted) Emmanuel Lechuga (instagram.com/emmanuel_lechuga_comedy) Ryan Brown (https://linktr.ee/brownryancomedy instagram.com/brownryancomedy) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idea: For map apps to warn you if there are no available parking spots near your destination, and to give you real-time info to help you park. Also: if pizza places allow you to track a pizza in real-time, why can't map apps keep track of parking in real-time; the app could tell you to hurry up to get the last spot before another car; helping you avoid red lights or cops in real-time Fat Steve (instagram.com/fatstevecomedy) Emmanuel Lechuga (instagram.com/emmanuel_lechuga_comedy) Ryan Brown (https://linktr.ee/brownryancomedy instagram.com/brownryancomedy) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com twitter.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
