Chad Zumach Raises $10K for Comedy Special, Hosts Cry Scam

Podcast hosts doubt Chad Zumach will deliver on his $10,000 crowdfunded comedy special, comparing it to a scam and noting he lacks an hour of new material.

The podcast hosts discussed Chad Zumach's recent fundraising success, where he raised $10,000 to produce a comedy special. The hosts expressed deep skepticism, with one comparing the situation to a scam: "it was 100% a scam and he just kept the money... I kind of think that's what Chad's headed for with this." They noted that while people didn't think he'd be able to pull it off, he actually reached his goal with contributions from other comics. Now that he has the money, the hosts debated whether he would actually produce the special. One host put him on the record, stating, "he definitely does not have an hour of new material. So, do not expect that 0%." They also discussed how cheaply a special could be produced, suggesting he could shoot it for as little as three grand with rented cameras and good lighting, even jokingly offering up Anthony's house as a venue to save on costs.
