In this episode, V introduces Berto, her husband and lifelong Chargers fan, as we continue our fan series. Berto takes us through the emotional journey of the Chargers’ move from San Diego to LA, exploring the ripple effects of a team’s relocation on its community and how the NFL’s business decisions often clash with fan loyalty.

We also dive into pressing issues in sports today: V highlights the lack of research behind injuries and rehabilitation in women’s sports, and we bring you a Bounce Off first—a fan guide to the PWHL. Meanwhile, we begrudgingly discuss underwhelming sports documentaries, the WWE, and, yes, Tom Brady (again).

Finally, we share our weekly obsessions: the nostalgic comeback of the ‘90s Christmas experience and the arrival of Spotify Wrapped season.

Joining us is Dr. Ronald Kimmons, Vice President of Player Wellness for the Utah Jazz (NBA), to talk about what it takes for players to hit peak performance, the dark motivators that drive them, and how social media and betting are messing with the game. Plus, a special shout-out to youth athletics and the unsung heroes—gym teachers!

We wrap things up with a debrief and our weekly obsessions, featuring a trip down memory lane to the 90s… and a few thoughts on bodies (and, yep, body parts).

The Inaugural Episode of The Bounce Off!

Pallavi & Vaneeta discuss the relevance of the Tournament of Roses, the groundbreaking new NHL assistant coach, hockey goalie deals, and the chilling sports connection to the Menendez Brothers story (and not the one you think).

We chat with legendary figure skater Patrick Chan about growing up male in a mostly female sport, what mainstream sports can do to win over the figure skating audience, and how he got set up for life as a retired athlete. Vaneeta spills the tea on her blind date with Patrick, while Pallavi leaves her pole-dancing costume (yes, that kind of pole!) up to your imagination. 

We wrap every episode with our debrief and what we’re currently obsessed with.

The Bounce Off was born in a Lyft in Vegas when our driver (if this was you in the white Tesla, thank you!) listened to our absurd but entertaining conversation and said: "You girls are so fun to listen to. You bounce off each other really well."

The Bounce Off Podcast is a fun chat between two Brown girls, Vaneeta and Pallavi, plus amazing guests, about thrilling moments in sports.
