On this episode we’re joined by a die-hard Star Wars fan who happens to also be the the play-by-play announcer for the New York Yankees, ESPN, NBA, and WNBA, Ryan Ruocco! This is one of our most prequel-heavy episodes in some time, which includes a fun discussion on all things Star Wars and a can’t miss round of One With The Force which includes the question, Who is the biggest cheater: Qui-Gon in chance cubes, Lando in Sabacc, or the Houston Astros?
Ryan also answers several of your questions and gives his thoughts on the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance! The Resistance base is open to all, so spread the word about TRB and join us!
