BTA the final frontier, Chris and Jay go boldly into episode 53. Our first stop is a brief but memorable dig at US and U.K. leaders, I know what you are thinking. Chris normally keeps clear of political talk and there are some pretty close calls in this one. Never fear though, there is still the normal MMA, Jiujitsu and general guy chat. We get an update on Jays recent trip to Bratislava. We relive some of our favourite 90s movies and pay tribute to the King of Sting himself. A classic Chris and Jay adventure dedicated to the late Carl Weathers. It’s not perfect, but it is certainly Better Than Average.

Episode 52, one year of the Better Than Average podcast. Chris and Jay are seasoned whitebelts in podcasting now and it really shows. Episode 52 has a plethora of beautify segways and transitions, there’s BJJ news, 90’s TV and a lengthy chat on Conscription. I know what you’re thinking, sounds like a weird mix of topics. Well, that’s how we roll. Even after 52 weeks of BTA there are interruptions, miscommunication and intermissions but the final product is always Better Than Average.

That’s right ladies and gents, this is the second coming of Ross ‘The Boss’ George. So much to talk about with Ross. We discuss the recent BJJ Blue Belt in a white belt scandal, we talk Gladiators and we recap the latest MMA news. There’s Boxing chat, movie chat and general guy chat. So if you’re a fan of Ross’, a fan of ours or even just fanning the smouldering embers of your potential interest in Jiujitsu check it out. We guarantee only one thing, it’s always Better Than Average.

Episode 50, a half century. We join Chris and Jay on a busy morning so it’s an express podcast this week. Don’t worry there are no half measures of BTA Podcast. There is all the usual MMA, BJJ and guy chat. Chris updates us on his car trouble, Jay sets his sights on a Jiujitsu competition and we talk Batmans greatest enemies. That’s right, something for everyone. Give it a shot, we promise it is Better Than Average.

Episode 49, the one that came late. The Boys are joined this week by Napoleon himself, the man with the Guillotine, Andy Leatherland. Andy gives us an update on his BJJ journey Jay fills us in on his big weekend on the mountain and Chris sets his sights on a Half Marathon. What else do we have in store this week? We talk UFC, Boxing and we learn a thing or two about life in China. Is it worth the wait? Hard to say, but it’s definitely Better Than Average.

It’s the first podcast of 2024 and it doesn’t disappoint. This week Jay tells us about the time he tried to steal a snake, Chris learns a little bit about milking donkeys and we get a nice little insight into pyramid schemes. Don’t worry, Jay’s not trying to sell you a Garmin watch this week but if you did need life insurance he’s got you covered. There’s talk on cults, bull fighting and all the normal BJJ, MMA and general guy chat. It’s all washed down with some of uncle Jay’s gold plated ‘Weasel Poop Coffee’ and it’s one hell of a Podcast. Maybe not the best ever, maybe not even our best ever, but 100% Better Than Average.

It’s the final podcast of 2023 and there is a lot to cover. We take a trip down memory lane this week alongside all the normal BJJ, MMA and general guy chat. Need specifics? Don’t worry the specifics are the best part of episode 47. Specifically, we learn about Chris’ gruelling night before Christmas, Jay sets a very specific goal for 2024 and we launch into a very specific debate about BJJ professors. This a podcast that starts with a story about the magic of Christmas and ends with a discussion about BJJ promotions after a brief interlude to discuss 80’s guys, Pearl Harbour and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That’s right, it’s a wild one. Give it a chance, we promise it’s Better Than Average.

Welcome to a festive addition of Better Than Average Podcast. We join Chris and Jay post lunchtime BJJ session and there is a lot to cram into our 50-minute episode so lets get after it. Jay gives us an update on all the new belt promotions, Chris faces the mean aisles of his local toyshop and together the boys treat us to some good-natured Blue Belt Baiting. But wait, there is more. MMA chat is a big feature this week. We talk David Goggins and Tony Ferguson, we talk Uncle Sam and Donald Trump and we talk Strickland vs DuPlessis. It’s absolutely jam packed. It ducks and weaves better than Leon Edwards. Its interrupted not once, not twice, but three times! Jesus, Jay is hard to manage. Don’t worry, we get there in the end and the finished product is still Better Than Average.

Chris and Jay are back with a podcast of Biblical proportions. It’s a take that starts with the Angel of Death and with El Cucuy. Episode 45 really has it all, Chris gets called out, Jay treats us to a little slight of hand and we get a small but interesting glimpse into life in the Swanston House. There is plenty of fun to be had, all the usual MMA, BJJ and…U.K. Politics by combat? That’s right, you know we like to mix it up and if you’re reading this you are already knee deep, no sense turning back now. Sit back, enjoy the ride. It’s always Better Than Average.

Happy Holidays you filthy animals! Jay’s really ready to let that personality shine in Episode 44 and Chris tries in vain to keep him in check. We learn which Disney princess Jay likes the most, we get dragged into another classic thought experiment and we discover that not all Elf on the shelf’s are created equal. There’s MMA chat, BJJ talk and all the normal Chris and Jay antics wrapped up in the a neat little package… don’t be shy, take a peek…It’s unlikely to be the best present you are given this festive period, but is definitely Better Than Average.
