 Slightly Above Average is a weekly 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

    We Built Our Dream Garages With $25,000

    Cook Unity - To get 50% off your first order of CookUnity meals, go to https://cookunity.yt.link/4GlpmLb and use ABOVEAVERAGE50. CookUnity connects you with top chefs from across the US, delivering their signature dishes fresh to your door. With hundreds of meals to choose from, there's something for everyone! Every guy thinks he could build the perfect garage if someone handed him an empty room and a stack of cash. Then he spends ten grand on a toolbox, forgets outlets, and parks his truck in the driveway. Today we each get the same empty 24x24 shell and the same $25,000 — and we're drafting the whole build, one pick at a time, until somebody runs out of money. Once a pick is gone, it's gone. One of us is building a shop, one of us is building a man cave, and one of us is going to forget the floor.

    We Ranked Every Shark Tank Tool

    Over the past three years, we've dropped thousands of dollars on Shark Tank tools, gadgets, and garage gear — the brilliant, the useless, and the stuff we genuinely can't believe we bought. Today we're pulling all of it onto the table, but first we're yanking the curtain back on the show itself: how the deals actually work, why half of them are fake, and how a guy giving up 20% of a sponge built a billion-dollar empire.  WIN THIS 2026 RANGER RAPTOR  👉  Enter here: https://bit.ly/JM01-TruckGiveaway No purchase necessary.
