Hey, I see Nikki's locked in on the stream. Let's just do that now. Why take a break? Is that work for everybody? Just make sure she's all good to go. I don't want to have a commitment if she's not ready for it. But I see her on camera, so I figured let's, why make her wait there for five minutes? You know, that'd be silly. And I'm very interested in getting her take on this whole situation with

mike Vrabel and dana russini she's good to go nicky i guess i always say is a gist or gist

kills me nicky is it gist or gist i apologize it's gist but i'm just glad you got my first

name of course so this is Nikki Gist.

She may not know this, but I've been a big fan of hers ever since she was the first

reporter in the country to have the Brian Dable story that he was going to be fired after the

collapse against the Denver Broncos this past year.

And it wasn't until, I guess, the plane right home,

that John Maurer kind of calmed down and said,

all right, we're not going to fire you just yet,

and nobody wanted to give her credit for it.

And congratulations on that story,

and I appreciate you joining us here today.

So let me ask you this.

As a woman who's a sports broadcaster,

and I guess an insider is the best way to describe,

you know, what you do online,

and you're not obviously as well known as, you know,

the gals that work for the major media brands, obviously.

When you first saw the story or the allegations between Mike Vrable and Deanna Rossini,

what was your immediate reaction to it?

And then we'll kind of get into a Q&A with you on it.
