"Self Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

I have only ever accidentally seen a couple of this guy's videos which came up in my recommendations and from the moment he opened his mouth he came across as a premium W⚓. The epitome of a narcissist.

Brad, its so easy to tell your a genuine person. Being rough around the edges is a badge of honor amongst all these curated phonies.

Oh man. I've been waiting for you to cover this. 💪

That dude always pissed me off.

Human garbage is exposed as human garbage, imagine my shock...

There's a situation about him being part of Eisbrecher Guitars too, which has just come to light.

Excellent video! Sorry to hear of the passing of your brother-in-law and neighbor. Keep the faith brother. 🙏

The worst part is he doesn't acknowledge what the problem is. He made a post last night about it, saying "it's all a joke" and because the gear he reviewed was so beneath him, the people he was dealing with didn't deserve any respect. He just doesn't understand what the base problem with his unprofessionalism and immaturity actually is. He even replied to me  directly saying because the gear was so bad that being unprofessional about it was somehow justified? It was inexplicable. Not only is it a bad look for him as a youtuber, its bad for all the other youtubers he represents through his management company. Yes, this guy is a sponsorship deal manager for other youtubers and thought trolling a sponsor publicly was a good idea somehow.

For me, it’s how he essentially laughed when he reads that that CEO admits that his video had been very upsetting for them, to the point where they were crying and couldn’t sleep. Just shows that even when he’s presented with his own idiocy, he simply doesn’t see it. No empathy, no humanity. Just an arrogant narcissist.

I always felt that there was something creepy about this guy!
I guess my spider senses are functioning pretty OK.... which is nice to know...

Dude like that has to fall on his face...hard.

Sounds like he's a literal politician,trying to extort and destroy others.

What a satisfying turn of events. I could feel Brads glee… maybe it was just my glee.

it's as unethical as companies telling reviewers what to say

Bring back "Shit Post Friday" please

Brad, you are so right. Our time on Earth is a very limited privilege and in the end very little matters other than how we conduct ourselves within our family and our society.

It all works out in time.  Keep up great work

also just busted for running a secret guitar company that riopped people off. hes a total POS like i said years ago. no QC, thewn tried to manipulate a "friend" into paying for shipping damages. Among other things. i said he was a narcissist from the get go and no one listened

Brad, I’ve watched you for years. The early repair things, SPF, your history videos. You’re an upstanding guy, and that shows through your videos. Keep fighting the good fight. I’m sorry that certain individuals see fit to continue to slander you online. They oughta be ashamed.  I remember the whole Chapman controversy. I became friends and a patron with the folks at Riff City. He’s never apologized for the way he left them.

People remember the way you treat them. That’s what way too many forget today.
