Threw in $10/mo. Haven't been listening as much recently but the massive amount of entertainment these two dudes have provided me with over the years makes it more than worth it. I half-expect to never see this USB stick they're promising me though.

They should be able to get 6k+/month. AFAIK they get around 50k downloads weekly and right around now they have about 550 donations, so a little over 1% of the audience is all they need. All I know is, we need to contact museums across the country to find a home for the Dance.

I'm glad they are going to get all this money but the odds of them splitting up now have increased by an order of magnitude. The uyd set is going to resemble an episode of Dallas with all the gold trimmed glass furniture and fenced in racehorse grazing areas.

More likely, Jonathan is going to manage to get grifted every month and lose all of the podcast money. Can't wait to hear him excitedly talk about his long lost uncle in Nigeria that died and left him a bunch of money

It'll be cool man I thought the part with Jonathan mentioning how much they work was funny. Seth works five days a week and it's gotta be a lot of work rounding up the volume of crazy poo poo they talk about on the podcast, while Jonathan is somehow an adult man living in LA who works three days a week. I guess the residuals he gets for sound work are pretty good.

Added a new goal Jonathan and Seth become fully self employed $10,000 per month This goal has been set due in part to the incredible response we have already received from listeners pledging. As many of you know Seth puts in full time job hours every week researching topics for the show. For almost a decade now he has done so while also maintaining a full time 5 day a week job. It may surprise some of you to know Jonathan also works a day job 3-4 days a week and collects countless parking tickets. This goal being met and kept would free them of having pursue any other jobs outside of UYD. Fully self employed by the show they love, directly made possible by the people who love to listen. After nearly ten years of doing the show under these types of circumstances and time constraints, it is exciting to think what would develop from providing the guys with that kind of space, time, and freedom. nothing is going to change

Honestly I think one big, beneficial change would be to film every episode and have somebody put highlight clips on YouTube regularly. They don't even need to make the full-length videos available, just having a more reliable YouTube presence could get a lot of people interested.

I honestly expect nothing to change at all and I'm fine with that. They still deserve every dollar for the amount of entertainment they have given me.

Do they really need $5000 each to become "self employed"? I mean, more power to them, but they're already at a level where they could both easily be self-employed.

I don't know how other patreons have turned out, but I think it's fair to assume that after a while there's gonna be a dropoff in the amount pledged per month from people who can't afford it anymore / got their USB stick / switch credit cards and don't bother updating payment info / etc. So hopefully they've done the math and can predict that, so $10,000/month now translates to something sustainable down the line.

Depending on how you run your accounting, you're going to have to pay substantial taxes on your Patreon income as well. The pledge number you see doesn't represent how much money they will get each month. You'll lose about 10% off the top to transactions that are declined, making the total more like $9,000. With Patreon's cut, and the credit card processing fees, $9,000 a month will net you about $8,100. Take 20% off the top of that for taxes (conservative), and 30% to reinvest in the business (pay for hosting, legal, accounting, help, travel) and you're looking at $4,050 take-home for the guys, or $2,025 each, in addition to whatever income they get from other sources. That feels somewhere on the low end for living in Los Angeles, especially if you also want to be insured. The above calculations are pure conjecture, based on my own experience running a Patreon campaign. Churn/dropoff isn't as significant as you'd expect it to be. They were smart in not putting physical goods in their reward tiers, though.

I agree, and wonder if a yearly kickstarter would have made more sense. Then its a (series of) one-time payment(s) that people won't be slowly decreasing, and they can tie yearly successes/stretch goals to live shows, videos of shows, etc.

$10,000 should be the UYD momcast teir. Single episode, both moms. Seth leaves them the normal stack of notecards arrayed on a couch and they have to make it work, they have to prove the genetic theorm of why UYD has managed to last.

Can someone explain how Jah is not hosed as a lawsuit target by offering for sale USB drives with 1000 full commercial RIAA-protected songs on them now that he has a proven revenue source and is easily serveable with papers via his own registered ASCAP membership? Are the first seventeen months of donations going to go towards paying back royalties?
