About this listen

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

    Feb 27 2026

    We canceled cable to save money, but now we’re paying more for streaming than we ever did for TV. In this episode, we rank the biggest streaming services, expose the "password sharing" bait-and-switch, and figure out which subscriptions are actually worth keeping.

    Our Dads Were Right About Everything

    In this episode, we finally admit it: our dads were right about everything (even the thermostat). We’re also debating if an average guy could actually medal in the Winter Olympics and mourning how McDonald’s just doesn’t hit the same as it did in the 90s.
