EP. 112 A Descent Into Madness

from Better Than Average Hosted by Chris and Jay

This week, Chris and Jay explore the fine line between control and chaos. They kick things off with a raw and real conversation about parenting styles—how different approaches shape kids, the pressure of doing it “right,” and the madness that sometimes comes with the territory. Then, they revisit the psychological horror classic The Shining, unpacking Jack Torrance’s spiral, Stanley Kubrick’s unsettling direction, and what makes this film a timeless descent into darkness. To close things out, the boys reflect on Bo Nickal’s shocking UFC loss and how even the most dominant athletes can find themselves lost in the storm. This one is a little hectic, but is still Better Than Average.
