In this episode, P and V kick things off with a hot tip—listen closely to The Bounce Off, and you might just win some cash (hint: steeplechase fans, this one’s for you).

P shares her formula for what makes a sports documentary actually good—and explains why Full Swing completely misses the mark. Speaking of golf, we both agree it’s time for the PGA Tour to rethink its whole brand if they want to survive.

We also finally wade into the drama of the 4 Nations Face Off final and the controversies it stirred up. V proudly renounces her fandom for Wayne Gretzky (yep, you read that right), and crowns Team USA as the official villains heading into the next Olympics.

That leads us to a bigger question—why doesn’t everyone know the name of the WNBA’s GOAT? And in a more serious turn, we talk about how our growing awareness of CTE has fundamentally changed how we watch sports. Can you still cheer for a big hit when you know what comes next? Or is this just a reflection of our larger cultural obsession with violence and how we treat workers?

On the lighter side, V cheers on Red Foo (yes, from LMFAO) for launching a pro tennis career in his 40s, which inspires us to ask: What sport would we pick up in our 40s?

To wrap it all up, V shares an all-time favorite fan moment involving Conan O’Brien and, well, removing her shirt—and P gives props to athletes like Chris Kluwe, who use their platform for real change.
