Welcome to Episode 18 of the Breaks-down powered by 528 Collectibles. This episode kicks off with a bang as we recount Tom’s Bahamas experience, including his hilarious encounter with sports giant Shaquille O’Neal and his less hilarious encounter with Scott Van Pelt. You’ll love hearing about one of Tom’s most embarrassing moments.
After that, we transition into some insightful sports talk, covering James Harden, Julio Rodriguez’s insane hot streak, Nolan Schanuel getting called up to the bigs 40 days after he was drafted, Pep Guardiola, the Women’s World Cup, and so much more!
After some housekeeping, and for the first time ever, Producer Rew graced us with his presence on camera to deliver his new UFC segment. Which covered Weilli Zhang beating Amanda Lemos, Sugar Sean O’Malley’s big win, and Rew’s lovely interaction with Aljamain Sterling (big fans of his, even if he lost).
For the meat of this episode, we delve into Adam’s favorite world, the world of college football. We get into Georgia’s 3-Peat chances, Caleb Williams’ Heisman campaign, Coach Prime and the Pac-12, as well as Alabama and Clemson returning to form. Not to mention, the potential QB controversy over at Texas with Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning.
You can count on Tom to bring in his Yankees and Knicks because he simply can’t help himself and don’t worry we also talk about the latest Hobby drama with Panini, Fanatics, and the NFLPA. As always, we finish up with Awards and Last Take Worst Take. Tune in for another episode packed with riveting sports analysis, engaging discussions, and our signature silliness mixed in.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
