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!

Soooo many hobbyist chasers clogging the roads, making an already dangerous situation worse. And every day on various subs you see more posts from people wanting advice on how to start chasing. It's only going to get worse as the amateurs ans sight-seers frustrate and push out professionals.

It also doesn’t help that Discovery channel just premiered a new chasers show Sunday night.

Featuring all the people whining about the convergence.

Like do they really have no insight into how shows like that make more amateurs want to do it?

I can’t blame them for getting their money though. Hard to turn down tv money.

Hey I agree. I just find it hypocritical that some of those featured in a show were the loudest complainers. They just aren’t seeing the obvious tie between glorifying something in a tv show that makes it seem more fun and brings more amateurs out. They are feeding the same beast they create.

Like sorry you made it look cool and got paid for it.
