Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast!   In this week's episode, The Sweats recap Super Bowl Sunday and discuss where they watched the game, what food they ate, why they're happy the 49ers lost, what commercials were actually good, and rate Usher's rollerblading skills.

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, The Sweats welcome back the one and only Mike, aka LumberjackSamurai, for another must-watch episode as an honorary Sweat. The guys kick off the episode by asking Mike about what some of his favorite games to play and stream were in 2023 which, unfortunately, didn't include Starfield, but did include indie games like The Expanse and Dave the Diver and old reliables such as Escape from Tarkov, Valorant and Apex Legends. The Sweats then shift the discussion towards games Mike and them are currently playing such as The Finals, Palworld, and Call of Duty Warzone. The guys also look back at the literal scam of a game that was The Day Before, which Mike did purchase but luckily got reimbursed for.  The Sweats end the episode with Mike outlining some plans for his YouTube channel and stream in 2024, which include some ideas for music-related content, long-form YouTube videos and.....a possible Tarkov hot tub stream??? The people sure hope so. The guys also go around and share what they're looking forward to doing in the week ahead in their "Off the Clock" segment.  Catch new episodes every Wednesday morning at 10am EST.

SPOILER WARNING in full effect for anyone who hasn't seen Attack on Titan or the final season!  Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, Ryan and Derick are back with another weeb episode as they provide their long-overdue thoughts on the conclusion of one of anime's greatest shows, Attack on Titan! The Sweats sink their teeth into the show's final episode and whether or not it was a satisfying conclusion to the story. Did it deliver and solidify its place among the best anime ever? Or did it pull a Game of Thrones and stumble across the finish line? The guys also talk about the watch party Ryan hosted, which included "titan serum" polynesian sauce syringes for chicken nuggets and Derick bringing a bag of potatoes to honor one of his favorite characters. Ryan also discusses the interesting difference in fan reaction to the manga ending versus the anime ending.  The Sweats end the episode by listing their three most anticipated anime coming in 2024 which includes shows like Dandadan and Kaiju No. 8!

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, The Sweats are here to provide a free of charge therapy session for Philadelphia Eagles fans everywhere as they embark on a journey of catharsis and vent about the team’s historic collapse this season. Watch and listen as Ryan, Chris and Derick list their biggest frustrations, including the idiotic play calling, questionable coaching changes, inconsistent quarterback play, and the Swiss cheese defense. The guys also go around and try to pinpoint the moment where the season truly started to spiral out of control. Was it the 49ers game? Or was this team doomed from the beginning despite their great, but shaky 10-1 start? One of the answers might surprise you… The Sweats end their Eagles therapy session by asking the question of whether or not they would bring back Nick Sirianni as the head coach, or pursue top candidates such as Bill Belichick or Mike Vrabel. (Keep in mind this episode was recorded before the playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so their opinions are probably a little different now after that disaster of a game.)

In their first episode of 2024, The Sweats conclude their Millennial Nostalgia Saga series with their third installment where they discuss their favorite movies they grew up watching in the 90s and early 2000s! Ryan kicks things off by talking entirely too long about Free Willy, and shamelessly shares a story that involves a young, hopeful Ryan, a dock overlooking the bay, and a harmonica. Chris reminisces on the iconic film, The Sandlot, the impression it made on him growing up, and some of the memorable lines and scenes from the movie. Derick discusses the classic Disney flick, A Goofy Movie, as he details  the moment he rediscovered his love for the movie while watching it with Ryan about five years ago. In addition to these classics, the guys talk about other bangers (including a few "DCOMs") such as Air Bud, The Iron Giant, Space Jam, The Luck of the Irish, Johnny Tsunami, Smart House, Motocrossed, Stepsister from Planet Weird, Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire, and Godzilla (1998). Let us know in the comments of any other gems from the 90s and early 2000s that we missed!  Catch new episodes every Wednesday morning at 10am EST.

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In their final episode of 2023, The Sweats discuss the tradition of New Year’s resolutions as they each go around and share resolutions, or “goals” as Chris would prefer to say, from the past and provide a sneak peek into their resolutions for 2024. Let us know in the comments what your resolutions for 2024 are!  The guys end the episode by each sharing their favorite memory from 2023. Shockingly, the Eagles losing the Super Bowl was not one of them.  The Sweats had a blast starting and delivering this podcast to you in 2023. A huge thank you to everyone who watched, listened, liked and subscribed. Looking forward to staying sweaty in 2024!

Welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast!   In this week's episode, The Sweats catch each other up on what they've been up to and discuss some other things that are on their minds! Ryan elects to rant about his fantasy football team's recent struggles and gushes over the cinematic masterpiece that is Godzilla: Minus One while imploring anyone who will listen to go see it ASAP (seriously, it's THAT good). Chris describes his experience playing Warzone 3 and goes into detail about his thoughts regarding the new map, improved movement, and the overall sandbox. The guys also have a brief discussion on Fortnite's new "Fortnite Festival" mode, which is basically their version of Rock Band, with Ryan sharing how his aging thumbs struggled to keep up on medium difficulty. Derick talks about all the anime he's watched recently, which includes shows like Fruits Basket, K-ON!. Jujutsu Kaisen, and Spy x Family. Derick also talks about successfully completing his Christmas movie homework assignment by discussing his experiences watching Christmas with the Kranks and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Derick closes out the episode by sharing some video games he's been playing recently, and basically admits that the new Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game is too visually stunning for his aging peepers.    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from your friends at 5 O'Clock Sweats!   Catch new episodes every Wednesday morning at 10am EST.
