I love how jerm always shouts out the bros who gave him discs, makes the community seem pretty appealing

[@nickas78]

Nice bounce out off the putter at the very end! Love the reaction from Jerm! Haha

[@deankarash4832]

“One of the most important discs...” for all 30 discs

[@timoteimanuto3786]

This is the best "In the Bag" video I have seen, and I have watched more than a few! I can really identify with comfort discs in the bag! Great Job Jerm!

[@tomhorne6172]

Hey, Jerm, thanks so much for sharing. Last week in our monthly meeting (NUDGA) we talked a little about being a Brand Snob. I'm a 71 yo newish player. My up shots are my Shark and Dart. I do throw a River, Prodiscus, Judge. The rest.are Innova. I'm now wanting a few, well at least 2 P2's. Yesterday we had a clinic with Kade. The young man helped me a lot!

[@brandonshukuri6487]

Jerm I want to see you on lead or chase cards again. You're one of my favorite players to watch. Such amazing form!

[@danielrstalter]

Big Perm. Gawd that thing is gorgeous! 🤣

[@wiscgolf2289]

You don’t see many pros throwing an innova orc, not sure why because I think it’s a super underrated disc

[@asherzapata6464]

For real I have 2 in my bag for overstable forehands

[@persiah7779]

because it would serve no purpose to a pro. The orc is a beginner to intermediate disc. The pros are throwing destroyers, nukes, dd3s, etc.

[@bacaw_]

Big Jerm is an absolute LEGEND!

[@mahmoudbahrani1084]

"This is almost uselessly overstable" is hilarious hahaha

[@ajbrown5247]

Mahmoud Bahrani Did you see how hard that thing dumped when he threw it?!

[@SATX_]

Big jerm! Get it this weekend! Cheering for ya and can’t wait for the coverage

[@tavenczechowicz5419]

glad big perm made an appearance

[@nickharn9340]

Thunderbird forehand is by far my favorite disc to throw. I've gotten 2 aces with that bad mamba jamba.

[@whiteavalanche8347]

Luster Thunderbirds are amazing! Gotta love the Luster Firebirds, too!

[@Jamminn555]

Excellent In-The-Bag from Big Jerm. Great other stuff in the bad besides discs and love the final bounce-out!!

[@caseysmith544]

they messed up the line up at the end, the P2 was a ~172 gram not ~175 gram disc, quite a difference by 3--4 grams.

[@mosk11tto]

well noticed! Also he was speaking about the weight when showing the putters.

[@Naesil89]

Jerm is definitely one of my favorite pros to follow, guy is just so amazing and I feel like I really would enjoy just hanging out with him and try to gather as much info as I can about disc golf, he and Sexton are definitely biggest ambassadors of disc golf.. sure McBeast and Ricky and the power double Simon and Eagle are good for the sport but the combined experience and video appeal is what makes Jerm and Sexton stood out for me. And I from finland so Seppo Paju is definitely my favorite player of PROs but still, big sexy is the most important duo of disc golf for beginner like me!

[@whiteopdad4256]

I finally found an in the bag where every single disc wasn’t Innova

[@michaelyahner6695]

I support the Pro Boss (even McBeth rocked one for a minute) and they are good for exactly what you said, wide open smashes. Also have that same run of MD2 and its incredible, good luck at USDGC XX Jerm!

[@cyrus12345]

Isn’t that noodle disc thing what you did with Austin Turner and he aced his in Nantucket last year?

[@TheSalamanteri]

Thanx Jerm and Happy Birthday!

[@fireofhyperion]

It is certainly a joy (as always) to hear from BJ. I have always been a mediocre player, but I love the game and action commentary he provides. Funny and moderately articulate. You have my thanks, Jerm.

[@Steve-hv1bg]

I'm always on the look out for a decent flat and firm firebird. I wish they weren't so difficult to come by.

Great look at your bag Big Jerm. Play well this year brotha

I don't see enough love for AndiDyes from Estonia. Why is that? The dude has such an inexplicably gorgeous "handwriting" when it comes to disc art, may it be spin or whatever shapes/stencils you need.

[@chuckwatkin7462]

Love the very end of the video. Thank you Big Jerm.

[@98kouki123]

Just like barsby. Every disc has a story.

[@gg5115]

You didn't show your minis. Also, yes I did want to see all your snacks. I knew you had a Little Debbie in there.

Where is the mcbeth in the bag? It's probably the same as last year's though.

[@TheSalamanteri]

7 Destroyers and 5 Roc3s?

[@LOYZAA11]

Add couple teebird3's, 169g roadrunner and ofc mcpro aviars and that's about it :D

[@curtisbrumwell84]

Awesome in the bag and nice little bit of insight about the bag itself. I really want to get the pound octothorpe but its expensive to get one here in Canada. I'm going to try the trick you used on Seppo. Hey Big Jerm can I have your octothorpe when you get your new one from pound this year please?

[@fuckyougeorgebush]

It's funny how much discs can vary. I have an Xcal that reminds me of a fast TeeBird, with maybe a touch less fade. But then I've got a Boss that is as over stable as a Max, Ape, or your firetruck.

[@garrettjrussell]

By the time this video was released, I'm sure a lot of these discs have changed.

[@evanwalley]

The aviar is a fun approach disc

[@Dr._Swash_Buckler]

Love that Big Jerm Pound Bag

[@WarmBusch]

Do those pound bags not have any type of frame to them? Looks like the thing was caving in on itself once a few discs were removed.

[@roberthyland9994]

Word up Big Jerm! Love my Pro Boss.

[@skyrimrulez19]

How does it work that he is sponsored by Innova but using other companies' discs? Does it just vary for each sponsored player's contracts if they are allowed to use other companies' discs?

[@daniejohnson90]

Inova and disc mania are sister company's so inova sponsored players can put them in the bag and vise versa

[@dcphil83]

Great video. I know the title is in the bag, but who makes your bag. Anyone recognize it? It looks like it holds a lot of discs and has a lot of pockets.

[@dilapidatedmimba]

I think he said pound octothorpe.

If the firetruck is a little too fast. Did he just say that? 10:00

[@mosk11tto]

ye?

[@mikephaneuf1253]

don't think I have ever seen a disc pop out like that before

[@caseywrightsel4277]

Mike phaneuf that’s why they take their made putts out on tournaments before the next putt is attempted because if you chain down right on top of the top of another putter it bounces up and jumps. If you watch the replay you can see it bounces right off the center portion of the other putter already inside the basket. It happens to me all the time with my mcpros when I’m putting 10 at a time at home you’ll see a lot of bounce outs

[@mikephaneuf1253]

@@caseywrightsel4277 doesn't look like it hits another putter imo

[@kyliodatter]

Innova you had better keep up!

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

I’ve never really understood the allure of the Thunderbird. I don’t see why you can’t just stick with a good trusty seasoned firebird, teebird, or wraith in champ or star.

[@holychiodos]

Not everyone has a seasoned firebird so they are typically too overstable out of the box. Teebirds can be too slow and understable for some faster arms. Wraiths have a bit more high speed turn compared to the thunderbird so they don't fit the same shot either.

[@gg5115]

A Firebird dumps at the end of the flight. Wraith and Teebird are less stable. A Thunderbird has a stability like a Firebird but glides out further on the hyzer finish. It acts very much like a Destroyer. And like a Destroyer, you can throw it as hard as you want.

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

I've been playing a long time and thrown a lot of plastic. I stick by my statement.

[@fr.andygutierrez5356]

I can definitely get more straight distance in a headwind with my Thunderbird than with a seasoned Firebird. They also don’t dump as hard, and so I bag both. In any case, everybody is going to throw whatever works for them :)

[@zanemazon3060]

And what's your rating, danny? Most innova pros bag both thundys and firebirds. They're totally different discs, seasoned or not.

[@mateogalvan]

Is Jeremy known for being scared of brown people?

[@bigjermdg]

Is that a real question?

[@mateogalvan]

Yes. At ledgestone you were extremely weird and awkward towards my arab friend when he politely asked you to sign his big jerm thunderbird. Idk if you were having a bad day but we all thought you were legitimately scared of him. It made the rest of us not bother asking you for an autograph.

[@bigjermdg]

To be quite honest I don't even really know how to respond to this comment. I don't remember this encounter at all so all I can do is speak in terms of generalities. It concerns me that anyone would assume that his ethnicity had anything to do with my interaction with this fan. I am truly sorry for that unfortunate misunderstanding. I have no idea what exactly was going on at the moment your friend approached me for an autograph but I can assure you 100% that my attitude at that moment was not at ALL a reflection of your friend's physical appearance. It feels a bit silly that I'm choosing to get on the defensive here but I think anyone who knows me personally knows that I appreciate and respect people of all genders, backgrounds and nationalities.

[@mateogalvan]

It was weird to us as well because he waited for you to finish your conversation with ricky and the women he was working his booth with. Thanks for the response.
