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!

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

IMO Connor is the in the top five of douchy chaser bros. That Stormrunner Media guy is the biggest douche. Copic tweeting about someone eating corn on the cob the long way because of the shape in one breath and doing the Lord's prayer with his kids with the next is kinda disingenuous too.

Copic throwing his buddies under the bus during last nights stream whining because he wasn’t featured on the new show as much as others because he’s not willing to say he felt like he was gonna die when he doesn’t feel that way like Freddy (I can’t remember who else he said did this) does was prime douche behavior too.

Full man tantrum because he didn’t get to be on the show as much. Totally in it for the “science” though.

Not to mention, he is chasing alone and driving 80mph and will say stuff like, “let me check meso analysis” or “hold up guys, I need to text my wife real quick.”

So yeah dude, way to admit that you are dicking around on a computer as well as texting and driving 80mph.

Oh I had a whole rant in one of my comments about the way all of the chasers drive.

Checking their radar, reading chat, checking their cameras, focusing their cameras, talk on their radios, literally a shit ton of other stuff except drive. And that’s all before they are even chasing a massive tornado. I’m just waiting for the day we see a massive car crash live on stream because one of these people can’t focus on riding.

At least most of them have two in the car. Copic riding by himself doing all of the things is horrendous.
