Official Average Boy Podcast #93
October 25, 2024
Getting picked on in gym class is no fun, and so is getting picked last for a team. Average Boy experiences both of those things when the gym teacher has the students play a wild game called, "Crab Soccer." At first this makes AB crabby, but then he makes a goal in a way you might expect—proving that everyone has different talents. Bob and Jesse also play a joke and questions from listeners, which leads Jesse to sharing a recent journey he took in the footsteps of the apostle Paul.

Average Boy is super excited about the release of his new book, Average Boy's Above Average Summer. Not only is it funny, but it has so many uses, such as breaking lawn ornaments and propping open windows. AB shares how he met his neighbor, Mr. Polvado, who has become a mentor in his life. Mr. Polvado also played a big part in the new book, so Bob really wants to know what he thinks of it. Bob and Jesse end by answering a listener question about their favorite disciple and book of the Bible. Click here to see the new Average Boy book title and cover!

Average Boy gets a birdie! No, he's not golfing; he's birdwatching with his grandfather. Of course, they are riding in a golf cart because that's how you birdwatch in Texas. Speaking of Texas, they get attacked by Texas-sized mosquitos before actually seeing a goshawk! It's a crazy adventure that ends with questions from listeners on how to get more into the Bible every day and whether a friend can be trusted with a secret.
