I think Simon is regretting playing with these guys. Uli and Jerm are normally goofy and joking, but in this one they seem like 5 year olds on caffeine and sugar.
Maybe it's some relief from the players that the off-season is almost here because I felt the same way watching the GK Pro skins from Maple Hill. It's usually my favorite mid-week watch, but KJ (which fed the others) were so damn over the top during the front 9 that I couldn't finish it nor could I watch the back 9.
I switched over to R. Dean Odell as soon as Big Jerm started crying.

I also think Simon has a tendency to get low-key pissy when he feels he isn't playing well but others are still having fun/joking around. He's had a similar attitude before on these types of things like the last skins match he was on.
I was thinking he was wanting to be more serious considering he's trying for a USDGC spot.
And not really doing well.

I really enjoyed the first half-dozen or so Mic'd Up Practice Rounds, but I gradually lost interest. The novelty of the trash talk wore off a bit, and it feels like there's more and more talking about random topics, and less talk about hole strategy, throwing tactics, etc. If they were to edit them down to a tight 30 minutes or so, they might be better. I wonder how the viewership has trended.
I'm still all-in on OTB Skins. While there are better and worse weeks due to the players, I think the advantage is that they mix in a variety of players. One of my all time favorites is Calvin and Paul setting up their upshots on hole #4 at the Preserve (Paul, missing the line: "Yeah, I'll go with a distance driver because it cuts through the woods easier." Calvin: "Yeah, that's a good lesson for the kids.")
...I think the Practice Rounds tend to suffer when Sexton is not there to be the parent.

I would much rather have them talking about their disc choices, throw choices, stances, strategy, technique, practice methods......I am fine with goofing around, but the entertain value of nothing but, wears thin. These are probably about building a brand, not really about disc golf.
I've started to really feel this way about their commentary as well. Without Nate, they get out of hand sometimes. It's a bit much. I'm almost ready to pull the plug on Jomez.
