   Number 1: #585: Good Good Golf and Callaway did a bad, bad thing

The backlash was swift and fierce, but questions remain, like how did this gross concept even receive approval in the first place? Tune in to hear The GIST of It co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz’s unfiltered thoughts on this *gestures wildly* absolute disaster.Show notes:The GIST:📰 Newsletter: Subscribe to The GIST✉️ Email: [email protected] 📷 Instagram: @thegistusa @ellenatthegist @stephanierotz

   Number 2: #583: Teen girls stand up against hockey culture

   Earlier this year, players on a girls’ team had their privacy repeatedly violated when two members of a U-13 boys’ team entered their dressing room multiple times while the women were changing. A disciplinary panel later raised concerns not only about the incidents themselves, but how adults around the boys responded — including repeatedly characterizing the behaviour as an “unfortunate incident” rather than treating it as an opportunity for accountability and education. Inspired by Rick Westhead’s reporting, today co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz discuss what happened, the troubling “boys will be boys” response, and why changing hockey culture has to start long before players reach the pros.

In today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotzl dive into what LIV’s bankruptcy entails, how much is owed to its players (hint, it’s millions), and what the league’s CEO has in store for the next iteration of LIV Golf. Oh boy. Show notes:The GIST:📰 Newsletter: Subscribe to The GIST✉️ Email: [email protected] 📷 Instagram: @thegistusa @ellenatthegist @stephanierotz
