  • Couture, Controversies & Call-Outs
    May 22 2025

    P and V are back for a between-season bonus episode because, frankly, there’s just too much happening.

    We kick things off with V’s finicky Oilers fandom (P is not letting it slide), then celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with a nod to standout Asian athletes... and, naturally, bidets.

    Next up: the ultimate sports-fashion crossover. P breaks down the Met Gala with a special shoutout to Lewis Hamilton for centering Black women on one of fashion’s biggest nights.

    We also get into the NFL's latest headlines—from White House visits (and snubs) to Saquon Barkley’s gaslight masterclass. Then it's back to the ice for NHL playoff chaos, where we ask: should executives and owners be held to the same conduct standards as players?

    We take a hard look at the sexual assault trial involving Canadian junior hockey players, using it as a lens to question how governing bodies like Hockey Canada handle misconduct and accountability in sport.

    Also in this jam-packed episode: foodie PWHL players, a win for U.S. Olympic athlete retirement funds, why the LPGA deserves a legacy tournament, Eminem’s undying Detroit loyalty, and NIL madness—P’s favorite topic (keep those kids in school… maybe?).

    To wrap things up, we reveal our latest millennial movie obsessions. V brings the spirit finger energy, while P reflects on a film that meant everything to Brown girls growing up.

  • Hot Takes from Tokyo, Politics at the Plate, & Golf Gossip
    Apr 22 2025

    It’s a special hiatus episode, and The Bounce Off is still bouncing. V is officially on maternity leave, and P just got back from Japan with stories to tell—starting with her firsthand account of the MLB Tokyo Series, Ohtani mania, merch madness, and a personal quest for the perfect cap.

    P breaks down the cultural curveballs of attending a pro baseball game in Japan and weighs in on the Dodgers’ recent White House visit. (Spoiler: we’ve got notes, and the Dodgers should probably listen.)

    We then tee off into the world of golf: Tiger Woods’s cringey couples photoshoot has V officially done with her longtime fandom, while Rory McIlroy’s Masters win has us asking—are golf fans finally trying to say something about LIV? Also, what is on that Champions Dinner menu?

    Plus: quick hits on March Madness, UC San Diego shoutouts, and well wishes to all the men healing post-vasectomy season.

    To wrap it up, P and V share this week’s joint obsession: going deep into the world of Jason Derulo. Let’s just say... the girls dem really want this one.

  • White House Woes, WNBA in the North, and Maternity Moves
    Mar 10 2025

    P and V are here to ask the big questions: Should White House invitations still be a thing for sports champions? Will political drama mess with next year’s FIFA World Cup? And is Serena Williams’ WNBA expansion to Canada just a genius business move—or also some lowkey trolling of Drake?

    Meanwhile, P is fired up about the LA Dodgers getting a docuseries (sorry, Yankees fans), and we break down how sports leagues are stepping up on maternity leave—but is there a catch? Plus, if you’ve been keeping track, it’s time to make a Bounce Off BINGO card with must-have squares like Steeplechase, Russian oligarchs, and Saudi Arabia.

    P drops a rapid-fire Oscars take, and to wrap it all up, we share this week’s obsessions: V reflects on why hosting a sports podcast with P just makes sense, and P gives a well-deserved shoutout to aging artists who are still out here crushing it.
