Cash Grab - Episode 1

In which we discuss lip-syncing and our questionable motives for doing this whole thing. 

Hey Patreon members! Thanks so much for subscribing! So this is episode 1 of our weird talk show. Just a heads up the first 3 episodes will also be posted a day later on youtube for free, just to get people addicted to the sweet sweet heroin of our heavily edited conversations and then after that the vast majority will all be behind ye ol' paywall. Enjoy!

Love,

Brian and Nick

Cash Grab - Episode 1

Comments

To Brian’s point: either a trumpeter is trumpeting music someone else wrote, or it’s music they wrote/improvised. In terms of lip-syncing, many people lip-sync other peoples music, but some of the most famous lip-syncers ever were lip-syncing their own tracks, mouthing along to their own voices (Britney Spears, Beyoncé, RuPaul)

Ata

HOWEVER... lip synching is commonly used in an art form. A concert, a movie, or acting of some sort. So the line is blurred a bit but still (in concept) distinct. The acting as a whole may be art but the lip synching would be only a supporting skill like enunciation or hitting one's mark.

Peter C.

To hopefully resolve the disagreement (if that's even possible), simply lip synching is a skill and not an art. You can get better at it with practice and study but it is not fundamentally an expression of self or emotion. Not an art.

Peter C.

First Smosh, and now you!

Christopher Ryan

I've always enjoyed your skits. I saw Nick in Dropouts when he was outing Grant and it gave me nostalgia for all your skits. I can't wait to see more of your content. Hope you guys are doing well!

Neminem

I finally have a chance to tell you two how incredible you are. So I (cash) grabbed the opportunity. You are legit two of the funniest guys ever.

Myra Bronstein

Nick's final comment sums it up perfectly. This is a terrible idea. You already have my money. I CAN'T WAIT until the next episode. Hmm, does more money equal more frequent content? *winky blinky*

Thomas Sutton

Nothing wrong with a cash grab. You guys need to eat and have money for ginger ale.

Dwreck Johnson

Cash Deposited! Have loved your videos since 2008. Keep on keepin' on

LBarto

Hi, sorry but I think I'm lost. I thought this was the Cash Cab Patreon? Would love some more episodes of that. Who are the two unshaven guys?

BertNotBurt

Wait, this is a cash grab? If I knew that I would've paid so much more. Definitely a tie on the lipsync competition boys.

sweenyshaq

I don’t know why.. but this is feeling like some sort of cash grab..

QuickBits

I feel like half the challenge of lip syncing is dancing along so...I kinda think we need a better test. No pressure. :)

Erin

Cash Grab? Fine. I'm cool with that. I get to see more of you guys and you get paid. Plus, I respect is the honesty,

Me, I Was The Turkey All Along

coulda watched an extra 20 seconds of the show!

Jon Bass

Honestly? Loved it. Been a fan for yeeeears and I'm fully on board with this cash grab

TimShaw19284163519

Go union! Also, if i pay more can i be in a video?

Rod Lindsey

Grab that cash. Please. Stay writers as long as you can; we're all the better for it.

Peter C.

It is absolutely bad, and I absolutely love it. <- One of those is a lie.

Phillip Thomas

Great start, Nick won, love the content

Brian Coari

I'm 30% sure they are in two separate locations... but I also think they are on opposite sides of the same room.

Arianna Jarvis

You guys are writers at a time when writers are striking (solidarity, btw). What else are you supposed to do? Get jobs? You have jobs! You just can’t do them right now. This is fine. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Alexander

Make it Rain! Get the cash and survive man. You have given so much happiness you deserve some compensation. Also since you are making more content I can now inflict it on my family.

Michael Rubin

MAAAARRRBBBLLLESSS

Jack J

This is somehow worth the $15 CAD a month. Glad you two are back!

Jane Louise

I was psyched to discover the playback speed control, but I couldn't decide whether I wanted to prolong it or get it over with. Such is life.

Ron Moses

This is the entire business model for our career

Nick Kocher

this reminds me of jake and amir’s podcast but different because it’s you guys and not jake and amir.

Sean Courtney

We will probably do a whole episode about this

Nick Kocher

Cash Grab is the most honestly named Patreon content ever, and I love it.

Jordan Tucker

Can't believe I'm paying $5 a month for THIS. Better upgrade to 10.

Aidan M.

We love a cash grab, it’s great. Question though: why’s Brian’s name “MARBLES”

Jason

ok so the timing of the patreon launch makes sense

Linh Hoang

Lip Synching is definitely an art, it's basically reverse ventriloquism.

Neil P

This whole cash grab thing seems pretty appealing. Maybe I should become a beloved Internet comedy icon and launch a Patreon?

David McClelland

I need money too, where can I get some money?

Genatossio3000

Brian. Totally Brian. Maybe Nick.

Justin Clark

As someone who's never been near any of your live shows, I'm 100% for this cash grab. Take my money and give me comedy.

Dominic Moreno

I think it's a tie, because the slowdown fake out felt like it was planned by both of you! 🤣🤣

Nicholas

Hope you get those 4 25,000 patreons

DrFate

Love you boys

DrFate

Honestly, I think saying "we're doing this because we need money" is some welcome honesty on this platform. I mean, that's what Patreon is for!

Brian Lamoureux

At first, I was inclined to agree that lip-syncing wasn't art. Then I remembered Tom Holland exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Brq-exSvB7Q

Sean FitzGerald

Boys I'm all for this cash grab

BeskarBoi

And the paywall is way cheaper than the cost to get everything converted to super-8

Tessa

This is so much easier than trying to make my own Britanick talk show by splicing together bits of your old sketches on my old kodak presstape
