    122: ATP Finals Breakdown, Alcaraz Year-End No. 1 and +1M Streams on Spotify | EP 122
    Sam, Steve, Jack and John break down the ATP Finals group stage with plenty of laughs and hot takes.

    Steve’s bold call came true as Carlos Alcaraz clinched the Year-End No. 1. Sinner cruised through his group without dropping a set or a service game. Is he the real indoor favorite? Can Fritz rebound to finish as top American? Does De Minaur have a shot, or is he just another stepping stone? And can the winner of Zverev versus FAA derail a Sincaraz final? Sam also gives his essential review of Alcaraz’s suit.

    We celebrate crossing one million Spotify streams and our nomination for a major award, then slide into classic Nothing Major territory. Sam shares his yoga class disaster, and we wonder why some guys insist on going shirtless in hot yoga. Ladies, we need your insight.
