A few blokes try to guess the names of things related to sports in a specific time limit. Honestly. That's all it is.

  1. A Keg Of Beer & A Bucket Of KFC aka The Marathon Special

    31/01/2023

    A Keg Of Beer & A Bucket Of KFC aka The Marathon Special

    The Above Average Sports Quiz Thing returns for a special episode to celebrate the fact that Tom finally went to the dentist last summer! True to their word (as can be heard in an episode back in October 2021), following this momentous occasion they're all now running the 2023 TCS London Marathon in support of CardiomyopathyUK alongside friend of the show, Macca, who also joins them for this special episode.  There's no dedications. There's very, very brief (but very, very excellent) feedback. There's no question of the week. But there's still a wheel song. We'll take you through an update on our current training progress and then there is, of course, the matter of a marathon themed quiz from Will.  As we're raising money for charity we would love it if you could spare anything you have towards a great cause. Our donations page is up and running with a bit more information about why we're doing this and why we chose the charity - so if you'd like to find out more and/or donate you can find it on JustGiving. Love to you all! Especially KFC who we'd all love a bucket of at the end of the race please. x p.s. It was also Australia Day when we recorded so cheers to all our aussie listeners! :)

    Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas Everybody! aka Ellen's Festive Finale

    The Above Average (Not) Sports Quiz Thing reaches the end of another season with a tense finale as Tzevai and Will fight it out to see who'll be crowned Season Seven Champion. Tom can still throw a spanner in the works for either of them with a good performance but can he improve enough? For the festive finale there's another guest host making her debut - it's none other than the woman who keeps Will in check on a daily basis, Ellen! If you want to skip straight to the quiz it starts around the 29 minute mark! We hope you've enjoyed the latest season. Don't forget to leave us a rating, review or feedback wherever you can! Enjoy! Many thanks to DAGEM Power Ltd for sponsoring the podcast for another season! And of course, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone who listens and thanks for all your support!

    The Above Average (Not) Sports Quiz Thing continues with another non-sport quiz as our most illustrious guest host, Dan The Man, is back again with another excellent quiz!  Tzevai, Tom and Will go head-to-head again to see who this week's winner is, except we've decided to split it into two weeks so you don't have to listen to it all in one go. There's the usual dedications, a bit feedback, NO wheel song but a Marathon Training update song instead, and of course a quiz! For those of you that don't want to listen to the rambling at the start the quiz starts around the 31:00 mark :) We hope you enjoy the new season.
