Hello, there!

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-host Steph Rotz and guest host Lauren Tuiskula highlight two baseball barrier breakers: (now former) Miami Marlins general manager Kim Ng, who knew her worth and stepped away from the role on Monday, and San Francisco Giants assistant coach Alyssa Nakken, who recently made history as the first woman to interview for an MLB manager job. Watch your step — there’s some shattered glass on the dirt.

Then for part two, Steph and Lauren tackle the gridiron for a midseason NCAA football check-in. From the top contenders to the hardware favorites, they’ll catch you up to speed before the second half of the season kicks off this weekend. Hut, hut, here we go.

Hello!

If only we could wish you a happy hockey season. While we’re celebrating the puck dropping on the regular season earlier this week, the on-ice action was sadly overshadowed by news that the NHL has reportedly banned players from using Pride Tape this year.

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz discuss the details of the league’s WTF move, the controversy that came before, and how the sports world is responding to this bullsh!t. Thanks, as always, for tuning in.
