The Average Joes discuss how their weeks have played out both on and off the board.

As usual, they chat about how they got on with the previous week’s chess challenges. They then get a new challenge set by NM Jesse Cohen that will involve Al and Joe taking a good look at themselves.

It's a chess podcast so there’s a bit of chess news about the Chess World Cup.

Finally Joe and Al talk about what they have exceptionally loved over the course of the last week.

Joe decides to record this episode naked in front of an open window, as Joe and Al get hot and sweaty talking chess and other stuff again.

Joe explains how the chess challenge set by Al has helped him to understand and embrace his chess addiction and how his lack of attention to detail has made him miss days of potential chess games. Al talks about how the chess challenge that Joe set him has taught him to warm up his brain before playing chess and helped him to realise that wearing (and taking off) makeup isn't for him. 

New challenges that could leaver Al looking good and Joe looking at his dropping rapid chess rating, are set. 

Joe, who started playing chess in his 20s,  gives his chess tips for getting your chess rapid rating up to 1800. 

The show ends with some wise chess advice from Magnus Carlsen

Joe and Al actually talk quite a bit of chess for once in this interview with National Master Robert Ramirez. The popular YouTuber and chess coach gives the Average Joes advice on how with the right training and commitment to improve, anyone can get better at chess. 

Robert details his chess journey and explains what motivated him to create a YouTube channel jam-packed full of comprehensive chess instructional videos.

Joe asks for tips to help him get his Rapid Chess rating up from 1800 to 2000 and Robert obliges with tonnes of solid advice.

After a highly motivational interview, the Joes are left  inspired to work on getting better at chess whilst having fun just playing the game. Joe however, is frustrated as he is serving a one week chess ban challenge, as a result of him being unpleasant to Al. 

In an attempt to recreate Robert’s home location of Miami, Joe records the introduction to the interview in his sweaty,barely-ventilated loft bedroom/studio on the hottest day of the year.

All of this plus Joe and Al add a humourous spin to their recap of their chess week.
