E068 - The Birds are SO Back
Hello and welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, the boys are back, rocking their favorite football team's colors, and ready to talk everything Philadelphia Eagles as they discuss this "surreal" feeling season and the team's insane ten game winning streak. The Sweats dive into how the Eagles have gotten to this point since their disastrous loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in week four, who or what has been the biggest factor in their turnaround, and the incredible job Nick Sirianni and the rest of the coaching staff have done to prepare the team each week, especially on defense. Oh, and Saquon Barkley may have a little something to do with their success, too. Catch new episodes every Wednesday morning at 10am EST.

E067 - Sweaty Seasonal Anime Episode (Fall 2024)
Hello and welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, Ryan and Derick are back to weeb it up in Chris' absence as they talk all the anime they're currently watching. Ryan discusses the wacky and visually spectacular Dandadan, the cute romance/slice of life anime, Blue Box and the fun nostalgia trip that has been Dragon Ball DAIMA. As per usual, Derick has a much longer list of anime, so he goes full Turbo Granny mode and speed runs his list so he can name, rate and provide his most pickup-able character for each anime. Some of the anime Derick names includes Heavenly Delusion, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Samurai Champloo, Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, and the infamous Blue Lock Season 2.

Hello and welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, Chris and Ryan talk about their latest gaming obsession, Space Marine 2.

Hello and welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, The Sweats are back repping their finest Eagles garb as they talk about the upcoming season for the Philadelphia Eagles. After last year's historic and heartbreaking collapse, the birds head into the 2024 season with new coaches on both offense and defense and a litany of new players looking to make a big impact. The guys try to put last season behind them and get hyped for 2024 as they discuss all the changes, most notably Kellen Moore as the new offensive coordinator, Vic Fangio as the new defensive coordinator and Saquon Barkley as the biggest free agent signing in the NFL this offseason. Will Kellen Moore make the offense dynamic and explosive again? Will Vic Fangio restore order on the defense? Is the locker room strong enough to withstand any adversity that comes this season? The Sweats try to answer these questions and more throughout the episode. The guys cap off the discussion by identifying their biggest question marks heading into the season and predicting who the Eagles' MVP will be. Catch new episodes every Wednesday morning at 10am EST.

Hello and welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, The Sweats are all back again to discuss Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic, 'Alien.' With the recent release and theatrical success of 'Alien: Romulus,' the guys thought it was a good time to watch the original to see how it holds up 45 years later. While Ryan has seen 'Alien' before, both Derick and Chris watched it for the first time in preparation for this discussion. During the episode, The Sweats discuss how the movie has aged, some of the reoccurring themes, how effective the scares still are, their favorite scenes, and what actor almost played the iconic Ripley instead of Sigourney Weaver.

E056 - Looking Ahead | Space Marine 2, Delta Force & Splitgate 2
Hello and welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, all three of The Sweats are reunited as they look ahead and discuss some upcoming games that have caught their eyes recently. Space Marine 2, which is based off the Warhammer 40,000 miniature wargame, is a third person action shooter that reminds Ryan of hit games like Gears of War, Helldivers 2 and Elden Ring. Delta Force: Hawk Ops, which is the latest entry into the Delta Force franchise that was first introduced in the late 90s and early-mid 2000s, is a first person shooter that features a Battlefield-like conquest mode and a Escape from Tarkov-like extraction shooter mode. Gameplay wise, it looks like it can appeal to fans of Call of Duty's fast-paced action and Tarkov's hardcore shooting and gun customization. Finally, Splitgate 2, which is a sequel to the hit indie FPS from 1047 Games, looks to evolve the addicting formula of the original with a faction system and a fresh coat of paint thanks to Unreal Engine 5. Space Marine 2 is scheduled to release on September 9 2024, while Delta Force is rumored for a Q1 2025 release and Splitgate 2 is confirmed for a TBA 2025 release.

Hello and welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast! In this week's episode, Ryan and Chris discuss which of their favorite sports games is better: MLB The Show or Madden. The guys go through a list of pros and cons for each game over a variety of categories such as graphics, presentation, fun factor and overall gameplay. To lead off, the Sweats go over the negatives and positives of The Show, which include graphics that haven't improved since 2010, the euphoric feeling of crushing a home run, the GOD AWFUL "fan cam" feature, the feeling of never being out of a game, and a game-breaking bug that causes the game to freeze at any point. For Madden, Ryan and Chris give the game credit for improved graphics and animations over the years, but criticize the awkward player and coaching models like Mike McCarthy, who is shaped like a bobble head. The guys also get into which game's co-op feature is better, as they praise MLB the Show's rotating batter and pitcher/fielding system and the freedom Madden gives you improvise routes and connect for a clutch TD. Which game will come out on top? Tune in to find out! Catch new episodes every Wednesday morning at 10am EST.
