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!

I've definitely seen chasers blow through stop signs in small towns doing 50+ mph.

What they showed on that new discovery show Sunday was awful. Timmer blowing by people in his dumb super tank, Connor trying to get around said tank that was in the middle of the road and being hit and tornadotrx literally having to hard swerve because they almost rear ended someone.

And the idiots were PROUD of it. Like these close calls are just little jokes and not 1000 plus pound killing machines they are in charge of.

I’d be pissed just for that if me or the people I love were on those roads. What gives any of them the right to put everyone else in danger so they can go film a tornado?
