If you're listening to this broadcast, you're a part of the resistance. Good morning. Nice of you guys to drop by. Who said that? We're not doing who Are You Today? What am I talking about?

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Resistance broadcast.

I'm John.

Thank you so much for joining us on this wonderful Monday.

It is April 11th.

Uh, we are weeks away from Star Wars celebration.

And with that comes announcements. And we're going to talk a lot

about that today and do a little speculating on a news Monday. With me as always is James and Lacey.

James Vans. I see you have a Vans hoodie on. Were you like a van sneaker guy back in the day?

Yeah, I was. Yeah, it kind of one of these things like got to go to the fans factory and meet some of those people, some of the higher ups and stuff. And yeah. And so at one point there was a guy who'd been with the company for a very long time.

And after I was out of the band, I talked to him.

And he was like, he's like, dude, if you ever want shoes or clothing or anything, you just,

you just contact me.

And I was like, yeah, but I'm not in the band.

What's the point of this thing? He goes, once you're in the family, you're always in the family kind of thing.

So I was like, I was like, cool.

Now, that being said, I've never taken him up on that offer.

He should have.

Yeah.

But no, I've always felt because of, you know, what he said to me that day and, you know, just my long history with the stuff.

I've always felt a certain connection with the company and a little loyal to vans in some way or another.
