| 0:00.0 | So originally when this Vrabel Diana Rusini thing comes out, |
| 0:04.9 | the athletic is standing by her a couple days ago. |
| 0:09.4 | They changed their stance on that as they have sidelined her |
| 0:14.4 | and they're going to do an investigation into this relationship. |
| 0:20.0 | Now, I guess the question that I have, and yes, I'm going to |
