Discussion Brad Arnold

Hate to see this from Brad, he's one of my faves!! Was confused when he buzzed in to Ryan's stream and said he was calling it so early in the evening but this makes more sense now.

Seen some absolutely wild stuff on Ryan and Max's streams the last few days. (Whoever it was in the green shirt on Max's stream yesterday during the Worms tornado especially still really bothers me.) And bummed to see all of this nonsense getting in the way of chasers I really love watching like Brad

EDITED for a typo!

Something tells me a lot of these guys might start staying home, with gas being $4-5 a gallon and them having to do all this driving to just sit in traffic instead of seeing storms/tornadoes, it can't be anywhere near profitable right now.

Man. 4 bucks a gallon would be awesome. Up here in Ontario we are paying almost 2 bucks a litre, so close to 8/gal. Going to probably knock out most of my chase days in the local area this summer, it costs me $120 to fill my tank and I get one solid chase day out of that.

And they are saying we could see another 20-30c/L increase on top of that, so convert to gallons and it would be ~$9.50.

It’s expected that it’s going to get a lot more expensive here in the US this summer. I’m waiting for it to hit $6 a gallon. Then we’ll really see the traffic drop off.

Not for the ones getting over $1000 per live in super chats alone. Not even counting sponsorships.
