It’s episode 58 and we join the boys early on school day. There little time to waste so let’s get after it! We talk Paul vs Tyson, Ngannou vs Joshua and Saint Denis vs Poirier. But don’t worry if all that masculinity is too much for you. There is plenty more of the classic Chris and Jay nonsense. Chris tells us of his near miss during the weeks No gi class, Jay gives us an update on Corporate Fight Club and we take a look at one of the years best pictures. It’s not too much it just Kenough, and guess what? It’s always Better Than Average.

We discuss Jay’s new ‘Corporate Fight Club’. We look forward to UFC’s next big event. We explore how to make Jiujitsu appeal to new students.

Chris and Jay turn on the mics for the 56th time. By now our little Podcast barely needs introduction and that’s fortunate really because we fail to introduce episode 56 at all. 53 minutes and not even a whisper of formally. This is Podcasting in its rawest form, no edits, no endorsements and no clear direction. What can you expect? A deep and meandering conversation which touches on Jiujitsu (a little), MMA (a little more) and Global Politics (a little more than we’d like). Theres updates on Jays BJJ Start Up at Unity Place, an intriguing discussion regarding Chris’ heritage and a confused but well meaning look into what makes a person thrive in Jiujitsu. Episode 56, we can’t guarantee it’s everything you were hoping it would be, but we can guarantee it’s Better Than Average.

Episode 55, a tale as old as time is a tale of two parts. Chris and Jay brave rain of biblical proportions to bring you another feel good story of friendship. What can you expect? You can expect a rough and rugged exterior, try to look past it, there is beauty within. Our story starts with tales from a small provincial JiuJitsu club and ends with a recap of MMAs biggest shows. We talk the Psychology of dressing old, rekindling a love for childhood movies and one of Christianity’s oldest stores. Not sure how those topics tie together? Never fear, as always BTA delivers a classic tale of a blossoming friendship, the greatest tale ever told? Unlikely, but Better Than Average.

Chris and Jay are back with Episode 54 and it’s a special one. We join the boys post Valentines and there is a lot to catch up on. We discuss an aging MMA fighter, Victor Hugo’s big win over Nicky Rod and our favourite thrillers. That’s not all, Jay shares a little too much about his bathroom routine, Chris is left holding the podcast in the wake of another delivery and we talk a look at the shortest podcast interview in history. It’s all in there and it’s a delightful blend vicious Segway and believe it or not there is plenty of Jiujitsu chat. Don’t worry, it’s still Better Than Average.

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.

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?
