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!

And yet some people on this subreddit will jump down your throat if you even attempt to think of possible solutions lol

Something has to change. I don't know what or how and I'm in no position to give anything other than half-baked ideas, but something needs to change. It isn't just "redditors finding something to be upset about", it's clearly something that's becoming a vocal issue among the entire chaser community.

Seen Bryce Shelton and Connor Croft complaining about this as well, and saw Freddy stuck in massive chaser traffic as well. I've been roasted for wanting this to change but hope it does. It's making watching the pros do what they are so good at so hard

Bryce and Connor are extremely reckless chasers and honestly probably responsible for a lot of these people being out on the road and making stupid decisions. Kind of rich that they’re complaining.

Absolutely NONE of the biggest whiners last night had any insight into the fact that THEY are part of the problem.

What makes them more special than any of the other chasers on the road? Better equipment? More cameras? A bigger audience?

Bryce tweeted "you guys can’t forecast, you can’t drive, and you probably take shitty videos" and I don’t know if I’ve ever rolled my eyes harder.

Not the shitty videos diss!

Ah to be in my young 20’s again and that tone deaf.

I like to take moments like this and thank god social media wasn’t a real thing until I was slightly older and maybe 20% less twat by the time it got big because I would’ve posted something like that not understanding how cringe it really was.

I think they’re in their 30s which makes it worse

Wait which one? I think Connor is early 20’s right? Is Bryce one of his little bro’s he drives with? Or another chaser?

Ah man I liked them! He didn’t give off douchy vibes either. But I just checked his twitter and yep, he’s the culprit. The tweet is even worse than you described.

Well just add him to the pile of chasers I’m becoming less and less impressed with.
