Cash Grab - Episode 1
Added 2023-07-06 19:44:31 +0000 UTC
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
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)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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*

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

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?

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.

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

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,

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

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

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

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

Great start, Nick won, love the content

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

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.

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.

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

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.

This is the entire business model for our career

this reminds me of jake and amir’s podcast but different because it’s you guys and not jake and amir.
Sean Courtney
2023-07-06 20:48:14 +0000 UTC
We will probably do a whole episode about this

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

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

We love a cash grab, it’s great. Question though: why’s Brian’s name “MARBLES”
Jason
2023-07-06 20:28:35 +0000 UTC
ok so the timing of the patreon launch makes sense

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

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

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

Brian. Totally Brian. Maybe Nick.

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
2023-07-06 19:58:30 +0000 UTC
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

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!

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

Boys I'm all for this cash grab

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

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
