Chad's GoFundMe Comedy Special Budget Blunder Exposed
Chad faces mockery after claiming he didn't factor in GoFundMe fees and taxes for his $8,300 comedy special fundraiser, despite previously stating he 'crunched the numbers.'
The podcast hosts heavily scrutinize Chad's GoFundMe campaign for his upcoming comedy special, pointing out glaring inconsistencies in his budgeting claims. Chad previously stated he 'crunched the numbers' and would pull money out of his own pocket if he didn't reach his $8,300 goal, but is now claiming unexpected expenses have derailed his plans. The hosts specifically call out Chad's excuse that he didn't factor in GoFundMe's 3% processing fee, noting that on $9,000, the fee is only $270. 'So using that as an excuse and his first excuse is nonsense,' one host remarks. They also highlight his failure to account for taxes and behind-the-scenes production costs, with one host noting, 'This is a razor thin budget Chad was trying to work.' The hosts compare Chad's situation to their own Patreon operations, expressing disbelief that someone could launch a major fundraiser without understanding basic platform fees. 'Chad, this isn't good. We're off to a bad start here,' they conclude, while also questioning his consultations with professionals like Florentine and Godfrey.
