In this week's episode, The Sweats tackle the depressing topic of finding time to enjoy hobbies as a full-fledged adult. Chris vents to the guys about his struggle to find time to play games, such as Diablo, due to work and day-to-day responsibilities, and asks Ryan and Derick if they share the same problem. Ryan, unintentionally, brags about not having the same level of responsibility as Chris and talks about how making time for his hobbies has really helped his mental health, especially in the post-pandemic world. He also talks about his toxic obsession with Apex Legends during the pandemic and how it made him realize the importance of finding active hobbies, such as pickleball and disc golf outside of video games for the sake of his mental and physical health. Chris emphasizes the importance of hobbies that allow him to turn his brain off such as watching The Office for the 10th time. Derick admits he usually avoids new games and shows because he knows he can't dedicate the time to them. The conversation pivots to the concept of free time. Derick talks about his complicated relationship with free time since the pandemic and how he approaches it with a productive mindset. Ryan talks about how he approaches free time when he works from home versus when he's in the office and rambles too long about his nerdy coworker. Chris says he will stay up late to play video games as his way of "taking back" his free time from his work. The Sweats then dive into a variety of topics such as how much sleep they each need to function, the minimum amount of free time each needs to boot up a video game, the ratchet texts Chris receives from Ryan and Ryan's obsession with the Pitch Perfect franchise (better known as the "acca-verse"). The episode concludes with Derick and Chris admitting the discussion was basically a cathartic experience, Derick making a Pitch Perfect reference that fills Ryan's heart with joy and the boys struggling to sync up their consistent and never-changing sign off.
