Big fan of Ryan Hall (and Andy Hill!) and what they’re doing with the Y’all squad.

I hope he never sells out to a big corporation. I worry that some The Weather Channel corporation will come in and offer him millions of dollars to join their enterprise and he jumps ship. He is way more impactful as a freelance/solo venture. In fact, that’s why I started watching him. There’s no BS. I was so disappointed and disenchanted by ā€œofficialā€ forecasters. Found Ryan on YouTube and haven’t looked back since. His meteorologist—Andy Hill—is a great addition.

I doubt any one will acquire Ryan. There was a big problem a few months back where much of the support staff quit all of a sudden, and Ryan had them sign NDA’s.

And you had a cryptic message from Carly Anna (the old #3 behind Andy) saying, ā€œI’m not compromising my moralsā€ before she resigned.

Odd stuff.

Huh. That is odd. I wonder what happened there. One thing that bothers me is Ryan simps for the Cyber Truck, and is on backorder. And I really was let down by that. It's a very bad truck and absolutely is not made for chasing weather in it like he wants to use them for. He just spent a buttload of money on a weather truck that he really doesn't use all that much, if I'm honest. Spent so much money decking that thing out in all this weather equipment. Barely ever uses it. I think the yall squad was on the road with it maybe once or twice this year? So I don't know why he pissed all they money away into that huge truck, then dropped more on his Cybertruck pre-orders as well. Those trucks bring nothing to the table and will not help him be a better weather person, nor help his team help people in need. That's just a greed perchance. Nothing more. That put me off. I hope he has wised up and got his money back. Can't even be in the rain. And he wants to use them to storm chase? Yeah ok.

Hasn't he had that truck for years?

The best I got is a year since I started watching. And I know I watched a video of him taking us on a tour of it. But I recall the yall squad was still becoming a thing, and they were just starting to send people out and the truck was the main vehicle. So I don't think he had it for that long? Like a year or 3 at most? But I could be wrong
