WSD and Doitche Go Storm Chasing, End Up Pulling People From the Rubble

TLDR: What started as a Barstool storm-chasing bit turned into an actual rescue mission in Montrose, Illinois.

  1. And this is where the whole thing pivoted. Big Cat said the quiet part out loud — there's something weird about hyping up a tornado when you know it's about to wreck somebody's house. To their credit, WSD and Doitche didn't just film it and peel off. Once the funnel lifted, they drove toward the damage and started looking for people. Doitche floated a Barstool Fund-style relief idea on camera while standing in front of a flattened building, and Dave was right there with him.

    “I don’t know how we could get like their information to start like a Barstool Fund” -Doitche “That’s exactly what I was just thinking yes yes” -White Sox Dave

    A little after 9 PM local, Dave posted the update that turned this from a wild internet day into something that actually mattered: 2 people pulled out of the rubble alive, broken leg and some scuffs, on the way to the hospital. The dogs were found in the cornfields, fine. Big Cat had already donated by then. The Stoolies Clubhouse summed it up about as well as anyone could — proud of the boys, balls and heart in a manner of moments.

    Day 1 as storm chasers. Bagged a tornado, pulled 2 people out of the wreckage, found the dogs. You can't script that.
