The boys are back — and this time, they're joined by an iconic voice from Seattle's breaking scene.

In this episode, Wooty and Garrett sit down with Rage (aka Nollan), a standout member of the legendary Massive Monkees crew, to explore the rich history of breaking in Seattle. From his early influences to the origins of his unique style, Rage offers a personal and powerful lens into the city’s dance and hip-hop culture.

The conversation flows through the formation of Massive Monkees, Rage’s philosophy on style, and his reflections on where the local breaking scene is headed. It’s a deep dive into both the legacy and the future of Seattle’s dance movement.

The story continues past the cypher, as Rage also shares his journey from wrenching as a professional mechanic to becoming an EV educator at Rivian, where he now helps shape the next generation of electric vehicle technicians through cutting-edge training and innovation.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Brakes on Breaks without some car talk the crew reminisces about their first rides, Wooty breaks down his next track-day ambitions (still chasing that sub-2:00 at The Ridge), and they wrap things up with a spirited convo on F1, racing classes, and what it’ll take to make EV sports cars truly cool.
