Dennis “PaymoneyWubby” Richardson and Fiona “Fanfan” Nova found themselves in an unexpected place, a Netflix movie connected to Adam Sandler. Their voices were used in Roommates, released on April 17, 2026. The clip came from one of their old Twitch streams and was later licensed for the film. Both creators were paid $2,000 each for that short audio.The moment was never planned. It was part of a casual stream where they were playing Minecraft and talking freely. That clip later spread online, reached a wider audience, and somehow caught the attention of Sandler’s team. What started as a normal conversation between two streamers slowly turned into a paid feature in a professional film.
Dennis “PaymoneyWubby” Richardson and Fiona “Fanfan” Nova explain how their viral Twitch clip reached Adam Sandler’s Roommates
Dennis noticed the clip while watching the movie with his audience. As the scene played, he quickly reacted after hearing his own voice. He said, “That’s me! ‘I do, but I don’t mind,’ that’s me! Two grand for that.”He then shared what he had been told about how the clip was selected. At the same time, he made it clear that he was not fully sure about every detail. He said, “According to his team, I don’t know what’s true, but according to his team, he saw the clip… because that clip of ours did very well, it got passed around, and, according to Adam Sandler’s team, he saw the clip and thought it was very funny, and wanted it specifically for the scene.”Dennis also spoke about his first reaction when he received the email about the clip being used. He did not believe it at first. He explained, “I don’t know if that’s real. I don’t know what’s true. I don’t know any of it… But, when they sent the email, I sent it to my management people, and I was like, ‘I don’t even think this is real,’ and they were like, ‘Oh, it’s real, we’re going to get you money,’ two grand, each, Fanfan and I, both.”The clip came from a Minecraft stream where both creators were speaking casually. That natural moment ended up being used in the film after proper licensing.
