He's not funny or witty at all. Just listen to any segment with Shannon where they're not debating. Shannon will come up with something funny to say or at least use a funny southernism that makes you smile a bit. Skip has none of that. I don't think he's told a single joke in his entire life. And when he's trying to tell a joke (usually a pun that mocks a player's name or nickname) he does it in this lip-curly old mean man way. That's okay if you're trying to play the curmudgeon character, but he constantly does and says shit that says, "Look at me! I'm cool! I'm hip!!!" and tries to distance himself from being old and curmudgeonly.
All that could be forgivable if he would just speak succinctly and make his points, but he never does that. He always resorts to telling the entire history. Far too often to explain something about a modern player, he'll go back to some stupid pointless ****ing story about him as a reporter in the 80s that nobody cares about or asked for.
And just watch him on that Charles Barkley video I posted below. I guess that's his podcast? Holy shit is he terrible. He's literally a gummed up old man bitterly ranting about the world in the most slow, tired, and lifeless way. That's just how he talks? He's about the worst podcaster I think I've ever heard.
I still can't ****ing believe this guy ever got on TV in the first place. He has zero good qualities for command of a camera frame or talking to an audience. The only thing he's good at it is saying crazy shit and repeating himself.
That Frank Grimes episode of the Simpsons is all too true. There are hundreds of local sports talk jockeys across this country currently hustling their asses off doing shitty local high school sports, working tirelessly to make unpopular internet content in the hopes of getting noticed, and living in closets above bowling alleys, which are below other bowling alleys. And yet stupid shitty LYING douche Skip got lucky in spite of being completely incompetent, has a great job and a career, and does everything these miserable ****s could only dream of one day reaching but never will.

What’s really weird is Skips brother is awesome. He is a chef and has a YouTube channel about cooking Mexican food. Dude is happy, humble, and a goddamn enjoyable watch (in addition to making exquisite food). Other than looking very much like him, he’s the diametric opposite of Skip.
