POPULARITY
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.

Presented by Planet Ant Podcasts (planetant.com) & Offshelf (offshelf.net)
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.
“This podcast makes me happy.” In this episode, Luke discusses music being a comfort in crazy times, art as escapism and Harrison Ford's Jeep Commercial. All this while playing some amazing new songs from incredible artists. Plus, he shares the music he's been loving and the #NewMusicFriday releases he's looking forward to.

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.
“You wanna run through a wall listening to it.” In this episode, Kevin emerges from 3 months in his basement as him and Luke catch up about their holidays and count down their Top 10 Albums of 2024. They discuss the year in music, share the honorable mentions that didn't make their lists and Luke's baby boy makes a surprise appearance.

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.

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.
