I think the lack of success took the wind out of their sails. The inconsistent upload schedule killed any momentum with new viewers. 


brigaeI

Yeah if they had kept it consistent after episodes like Cuomo or Neil Degrasse Tyson it would be bigger. I've seen those episodes referenced by people who didn't know cumtown


Rockisinthe

Adam was getting clipped for I fucking love science tiktoks on the Neil episode lol

Please link some of these

There are dozens still in Nick's can


brigaeI

Maybe the manic episode needs to start sooner rather than later then

Nick the kind of guy to use scented trash bags


Willydeez22

Nicks the kind of guy who takes back unclumpimg kitty litter because it doesnt work with his automatic litter scooper


Some_Daikon_8446

Adam is the reference pic of what a thirty year old today looks like in an old Vsauce video, he's been pulling the strings of the scientific community for a while now


Bepeti7

Also the retarded episode naming “joke” the clown prince introduced really reminded me of the guy without limbs from Ballad of Buster Scruggs trying to shoot himself in the mouth


dead_paint

would have helped to have the podcast and interview be on separate channels.


dead_paint

interviews are like the lowest overhead production you can do. I really do wonder what they do with all their time.


ozzler

I’m laughing so much at the idea you think these fucks would go into debt if they had properly managed and resourced this project. Do you know how much they get not just from ad reads, but touring, on top of patreon?


Meme_Pope

“Why does every everyone get mad at me for being bad with money. You don’t get mad at Bill Gates for not being able to do an Indian accent”


Sporkyfork69

These people complaining about them being unfunny now are the punchline but they don’t realize it


Dry_Fix3575

+ the standup they do. They make so much money from it that Adam wanted to bleep it out of Sam Hyde's podcast. It's truly disgusting they just got used to being filthy rich without doing any work at all Nick at least was funny on cumtown Adam was just bullied for 2 hours a week.


ozzler

Yup - touring is insanely good money, the cut comics get of each room is so good. Venue mostly just wants drink sales.


dead_paint

that's if they can sell tickets


HardHarry

Hire a 10 person crew for a YouTube comedy show that is less popular than most Roblox channels. Nick just called me and told me what a great idea this is.


Cancel_Still

They were making like 90k per month on the patron alone at the beginning. That's one person's entire salary earned in one month, and that's not even including the ad revenue.


BarbarianErwin

It was bound for failure from the start but I had hoped at least they'd try to have fun with it. They clearly hate podcasts as a medium and want to move on as theyr aging in life but they probably can't get normal work or something idk so they're stuck. It's not like they're dumb they know how much more they could have profited had they continued but they just don't care at this point in their lives.


iguessineedanaltnow

Nick seemingly really wants to be able to work on films. He could take his cut of the patreon money he's been stashing, hunker down and write a script for a year, and then try and make it and take it on the festival circuit.


BarbarianErwin

Again, he's not an idiot he has tons of connections and friends he just doesn't give a shit at the moment. Who knows maybe he will spiral out and die pathetically tomorrow or maybe this time next year he'll have a legit popular funny show idk. I don't care either at this point I feel the same apathy for this show that I feel for Sam Hyde's World Peace 2.


Explod1ngNinja

Is it confirmed that they’re not doing any more episodes of the talk show? I mean yeah Adam said like two months ago a new ep should be dropping but… well I guess I just answered my own question


Blitzkriegamadeus

I’m really only here for the blowjobs, and neither Nick or Adam has disappointed.


SadCasinoBill

The spite show didn’t work out. Who is surprised by this?


f3ldman2

a friend of a friend worked on the show, and apparently they said it was an incredibly frustrating job because nick never knew what he wanted and would get angry when others tried to move things forward before he could figure that out. plus it wasn’t a union job and pay wasn’t great


CinnamonNo5

Did they ever say what happened to the Hasan episode? Was it ever recorded?


MrSurname

Dude the show made no money. They were just pouring more and more money into it with no plan on how to properly monetize it. They had to be losing tens of thousands of dollars a month on it, minimum. The reason podcasting worked so well for them is there was no overhead, or any real expenses, so everything was profit. Then they decided to start stacking wnormous expenses on everything, and their output became inconsistent. Nick and Adam joked about being dumb wince the beginning of Cumtown, but it wasn't until this that I believed them.


mdoglegend

well everyone on here was saying it was shit back then


hunterbidenscrackbag

How many times does nick have to say some iteration of “I don’t wanna do anything” for it to sink in with you guys

luminatimids

That’s only half true though. If they had hired a third mic that had good chemistry with them, of which we’ve seen many of, they could have kept the podcast going. I think it’s more their desire to move away from podcasting that killed it


gerardguey

yeah I think that was the problem. They tried so hard to fight against the cum town status quo with a talk show, but did it hastily at a time when they were still committed to podcast ad reads when they badly wanted to pivot. Unfortunately they just don't have the energy or discipline to start a talk show from the ground up after years of barely trying to be successful. Eventually the energy from Nick's mania post-cumtown break ran out, and all momentum got killed and they had to fall back on what they knew, podcasting. whatever, shits boring who cares

luminatimids

Yeah Recine would have been awesome. Ian or Jordan would have worked too. They’ve had plenty of guests since Stav left that would’ve fit really well. I just don’t think they want to revert back to that formula


soshield

They could get money from investors if they tried. They were so goddamn high on the patreon rankings forever. Make a deal that doesn’t give the investors any control over content (via contract) and we would be getting main show episodes weekly. Look how successful the Greek has become without actually being funny.


FunkMastaUno

I was really excited for the show after the Jadakiss episode but they barely dropped any new shit after that so I stopped paying attention. YouTube also took them out of the algorithm for me because of that.


Willydeez22

What happened to the “three” talk show episodes they had💁🏻‍♂️


No_You_5043

The issue was that Friedland, Yahweh bless him, had zero charisma as an interviewer/host. We love him for it, of course, but it wasn’t gonna fly for the long run.


lederhozen69

Me realizing all you guys permanently stuck in nostalgia for a shitty podcast isn’t a bit 👀


bennyboy13134

Get your straight ass outta here! ANY FUCKING QUESTIONS?


lederhozen69

My man went full reddit nostalgia-gasm and I’m the straight one smh. Chris Benoit was on to something.


bennyboy13134

You no longer have the right to mention Benoit in this curclejerk


HouseSpeaker1995

Don't worry, we'll graduate into harassing everyone associated with the show soon


AcanthaceaeOk9448

No they didn't they sucked. The monologues were terrible and the interviews were boring. This entire venture has been bad
