The Slightly Above Average Podcast is a weekly audio and video Podcast built for all guys everywhere. Hosted by John Malecki, Sam Poola, and Joe Meinert, we bring you unfiltered takes on sports, viral culture, content creation, and everyday guy life.
Think of it as the loud banter you’d have with your buddies but filmed, funny, and unapologetically entertaining. Whether we’re diving into NFL hot takes, debating the latest memes, or sharing outrageous headlines, our goal is to build a community that feels like sitting in the garage or around a fire pit with your crew, beers in hand.
We aren’t experts; we’re just real dudes with strong takes on the topics that matter to the "slightly above average" guy.
New episodes drop every Friday on YouTube and all major podcast platforms
