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 Ranked Every Tool Storage System
    Jun 12 2026

    In this episode, we’re building the perfect setup for the weekend warrior, the contractor, the tool addict, and the unlimited-budget psychopath—before putting every single brand live on our tier list. We ranked every tool storage system, from Milwaukee Packout and Snap-on toolboxes to a classic coffee can full of mismatched screws. From S-Tier essentials to absolute garbage, let's settle the debate.
