Speaker 1: from house Stuff Works dot com. Hey, and welcome to

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: the podcast. This is Josh Clark. Charles W. Bryant is

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: clearing his nose out across from me. I was laughing

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: up boogers because you were singing Dolly Parton before we

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: went on air. Yeah, I was. I Love Dolly. I'm

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: hoping that was never recorded by Jerry secretly surreptitiously. We

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: had a little out takes in a while. It's been

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: a while, Jared get on that we haven't said anything

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: funny in a really long time. I think that's the problem. Hey, Chuck,

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: Hey dude, did you know that we are smack dab

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: in the middle of roller derby playoff season? Yeah? Oh

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: you did? Did you know that prior to nine? In

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: this more now? But I would say we're smack dab

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of a roller derby revolution. Yeah. Yeah,

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: We're smack dab in the in the middle of a

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: roller derby playoffs season that is situated within a larger

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: roller derby revolution. Can we agree to that one? Okay? Yeah?

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. Um, roller derby it's kind of everywhere.

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: If you are not into it, I'm sure you've at

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: least seen some cool posters or stickers on cars supporting

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: roller derby leagues all of a sudden. Um, and if

24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: you notice that there really weren't any prior to two

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: thousand one, you're a pretty sharp person, I would say. So. Um,

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: we have our own roller derby league here in Atlanta.

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: The Atlanta roller Girls have been I have not. I've

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: seen him on cable access though, is that your Tuesday

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: night just watching? I know, I actually don't remember where

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: I would have seen him because I don't even have

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: cable access or cable or anything. Right now, we need

32
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: to go. We need to make a point to go.

33
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: It's like right down from my house. It's on Ponds right, Yeah,

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: the europe shriner Um Temple. Yeah, oddly, all right, we'll

35
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: go Kauds, you know, Saturday, September twenty, which is probably

36
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: before this will come out. Um, that's the that's the

37
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: next playoff. I bet if we took Jerry, she'd know

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: like a third of the people there, you know, the Yeah,

39
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: so Chuck. The Atlanta roller Girls are one of UM

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: sanctioned leagues. Yeah, because when did Tracy write this article,

41
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: Like maybe two thousand six. Yeah, I think that the

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: the w f t d A, the Woman's Flat Track

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Derby Association, has been around since two thousand four. She

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: did not acknowledge that in this so it was probably

45
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: two thousand three. Okay, So since two thousand three h

46
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: Tracy cited there's about thirty leagues. Now there's ninety eight

47
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: sanctioned and another forty three that are apprentice leagues. They're

48
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: up and coming. Yeah, right, so there's a boatload of

49
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: roller derby going on around this country. I was looking

50
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: on the UM Flat Track Derby Association site and they

51
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: have like the you know, links to all the different

52
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: teams pages, so they have the logos of each one,

53
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: and I found the best one, which one my favorite

54
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: was the Dutch land Rollers out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They

55
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: have like an Irish woman with the head kerchief on

56
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: with a black eye Amish or Irish amishka. Did I

57
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: say Irish? Yeah? She might have been Irish too. Did

58
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: I say Irish? He did? Stinks because I really meant Amish.

59
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: That's right? So is that their whole get up they

60
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: all wear amish gear. I don't know, I just saw

61
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: the logo. They probably do because they go with the

62
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: themes generally. Yeah, but that's that's for later, right, So Chuck,

63
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about this. Let's talk about roller derby and

64
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: by let's talk about it. Let's talk about its history. Yeah,

65
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: from what I can tell, Josh, Um, in the mid

66
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: nineteen thirties, there was a sports promoter named Leo Seltzo.

67
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: Sounds very like sports promoter from the thirties, dedn'ty. Yeah,

68
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: we need a roller derby c and that's basically what

69
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: he said. But initially it was um, you know, they

70
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: used to have all these endurance competitions back in the day,

71
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: like the dance fons and all those silly things you

72
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: did before television. His was initially a roller skating endurance competition.

73
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: It was called the Transcontinental Roller Derby. Yeah it was.

74
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: And the idea was to do fifty seven thousand laps,

75
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: which is about the distance across the US. It's about

76
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: three thousand miles. It's a long way to scape. But

77
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: they all kind of realized this kind of stinks and

78
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: it's not very fun. It does. Plus, skaters were skating

79
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: about eleven and a half hours a day. Yeah, it's

80
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: not fun, right, And I'm sure there's a pretty sizeable

81
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: cash processes during the depression, so you could make people

82
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: like wrestle bears and tutus and all sorts of crazy

83
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: stuff to you know, feed their family. Um, so I'm

84
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: sure that's why people skated eleven and a half hours

85
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: a day for these things. Um. The problem wasn't that

86
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: it was is too much for human constitution. It was

87
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: that it was boring. It's just people going around the

88
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: track again and again and again, and then ultimately it's like, Wow,

89
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: they just skated across the US. But in the meantime

90
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: it's boring. And there was a sports writer, a very

91
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: famous sportswriter named Damon Runyon, who in nineteen thirty seven

92
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: came to sell term. Was like, look, dude, this is

93
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: a good idea. But the coolest part is when people

94
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: run into each other. Why don't you make something like

95
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: that really emphasizes that. And apparently Selter was like, I

96
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: don't know, it seems kind of rough, and we'll give

97
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: it a shot. And all of a sudden, the next

98
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: thing you know, you have like nineteen thirties ladies just

99
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: beating the tar out of each other. And have you

100
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: seen footage of it? It's pretty awesome, it is. I

101
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: mean back in the thirties too, I think of everyone

102
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: is so genteel and everything. No, it was just as

103
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: rough and tumble as it is. And he only had

104
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: the endurance version for a couple of years. I think

105
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: before he was like, you know, you may be onto something,

106
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: right and and from that point on that's roller Derby, yes, Josh.

107
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: And it grew, uh, you know, it was very popular

108
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: during the forties and fifties and uh, clearly if you remember,

109
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: like Happy Days, I think there was a roller Derby

110
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: Unhappy Days. At what point didn't Pinky Tesscadera participate. I

111
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I was wondering that earlier. See it seems

112
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: like she'd be too cool for that, but she would

113
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: like beat up the girls after the match. Maybe that's

114
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I don't know. Well, we'll have to look

115
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: that up. Leather tuscan Arra wouldn't or was that her sister? There?

116
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Two of them was Leather nickname I don't know that off,

117
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: but they they It did grow in popularity up until

118
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: about the seventies. I think a lot of things declined

119
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: in the seventies because of this stinking economy in the

120
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: gas crisis, and so people weren't going out and spending

121
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: money on things like roller Derby anymore or skateboards. Skateboarding.

122
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: It went. It had an opposite effect, that didn't it. Yeah,

123
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: it boomed, I think because that awesome documentary, The dog

124
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: Lords of Dogtown. Is that a doc Well, there was

125
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: a documentary and then a feature film based on the documentary.

126
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: But the documentary is better. But yeah, swims, they couldn't have.

127
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: People couldn't afford to like fill up their pools to

128
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: the polls right out. They skated skateboards in the pools,

129
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: and that Stacy Perelta was one of those who would

130
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: go on to phone how Pelta Skateboards a skateboard company

131
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: of all time? Who would sponsor the greatest group of

132
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: skaters of all time? The Bones Brigade. Yeah, yeah, but

133
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with roller Derby except for

134
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: the wheels. Well, it does actually have something to do

135
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: with roller Derby in this case. That the dock is

136
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: always better than the feature film. You just hang onto

137
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: that one. Sure, put that on your back pocket. Well,

138
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: it's interesting though, and that roller Derby did decline in

139
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: the seventies, but that's when it was actually probably most

140
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: visible because they had those televised I remember when I

141
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: was a kid. Oh yeah, they televised it on like

142
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: a year old kids with five and nights seventy five

143
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: And um, I sent you the link earlier and we

144
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: watched a little bit of his clips. If you YouTube

145
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: like nineteen seventies roller Derby, you can see some of

146
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: this stuff, you can, and you can hear the commentators. Um.

147
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: When when they tried to revive it in the seventies

148
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: after its decline, Uh, there was kind of an artificial

149
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: revival where roller Derbut toured the country in civic centers

150
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: and small towns like an exhibition, right, But there was

151
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: like different there are different teams, but like the the

152
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: announcers were the same, and the announcers used a lot

153
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: of colorful language, Like there was one womansoyn. There was

154
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: a woman who was like I think they cited or

155
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: waited about two hundred pounds. She's like a big blocker, um,

156
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: and she the announcer said that she was roughly the

157
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: size of the state of Rhode Island. And it was

158
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: just kind of like even on the YouTube club, the

159
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: person who posted it said, I apologize for the announcer

160
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: saying that one of the skaters is the size of

161
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. It was anything went back there in the

162
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: seventies pretty much. But um, even that didn't didn't keep

163
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: er Derby into the eighties. Like that kind of um

164
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: fantastic misogyny and the kind of um world wrestling look

165
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: and feel that it had to it. Yeah, they took

166
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: it sort of over the edge to where they would

167
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: like fake hit each other and stuff like that. Right, Um,

168
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: but that that that didn't that didn't keep it alive. Right,

169
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: And we should say also that that revival is significant

170
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: and that it foreshadows the century revival because it was

171
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: all women prior to that in their forties, the fifties

172
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: and the sixties win Like during the heyday of roller Derby,

173
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: it was co ed. Yeah, well not co ed on

174
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: the same team they would have like them. The teams

175
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: were co ed. I think periods were not co ed.

176
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: Oh see, I thought it was women competed in the

177
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: same night as men, but only against each other. I

178
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: think teams were originally co ed, which is which uh

179
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: has grown from the the first roller Derby where they

180
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: were twenty five teams of one man and one woman,

181
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: and then that carried on. So I think the teams

182
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: are coed, but different periods it would be the male

183
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: team or the women's gotcha, I think, but the men

184
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of went away for the most part, and now

185
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: the modern revival is all ladies. Right in Austin, Texas

186
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one, a group of women got

187
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: together and basically single handedly revived roller Derby into this

188
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: really huge incarnation that we're seeing now right. Well, yeah,

189
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: and like we said in two thousand and four, just

190
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: a few years later, the Women's Flat Track Derby Association

191
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: was formed and they pretty much run the show. And

192
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: we should mention that, you know, flat track means that well,

193
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: it's clearly not a roller rank at the Shriner's Auditorium

194
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, but a lot of them use roller ranks.

195
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: And uh, instead of the curved bowls, the banked, Yeah,

196
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: the bank bowls that they used to use, but they

197
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: still have those in some places. And I get the

198
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: impression that flat track and banked kind of go head

199
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: to head. Well, yeah, the one lady they interviewed some

200
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: women trace she did for this article, and she said

201
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: that they'll they'll debate that, of course, but it's really

202
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: all in the spirit of the sport. They're still like sisters.

203
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: And there's a I should say, there's a documentary about

204
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: that UM formation in two thousand one in Austin called

205
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Hell on Wheels. Huh, And that's that's where I saw

206
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: footage of UM, the old timey nineteen thirties roller derby

207
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: people just beating the cramp out of each other. Yeah,

208
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: it's pretty awesome. But then there's a feature film based

209
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, that Chuck. I don't know if you remember,

210
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: but on the way back from Guatemala, you were watching it,

211
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: and I was watching you watch it and like every

212
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: once and I will just be like, yeah, Ellen, Paige

213
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: Andrew Barrymore in the same movie It's that's a rough one.

214
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore directed that, I believe, and produced it and

215
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: basically paid for it. Yeah. It was called Whippet and

216
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: it was said in Austin and um oh, I hesitate

217
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: to say I didn't like it very much because you

218
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: never know Drew Barrymore as a listener. But I thought

219
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: about that too. It was good, true. I think it

220
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: put it on the map Fox Show. Definitely, it brought

221
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: it into the mainstream. How about that? Yes? Okay, and

222
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon was just terrific as the announcer, and isn't

223
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: he always Future Man was the coach Class Act. So

224
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: that was whip it. Let's talk about the spirit of

225
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: roller Derby, Chuck. Okay, Um it is fishnet stockings and

226
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: two twos and knee socks and black eyes, big elbows. Um,

227
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: all kinds of costumes, awesome names. Oh yeah, right, so

228
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: just in this article alone, Atlanta roller girls. Um, Susan

229
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: b Agony, that's my favorite. It's pretty good. Um, let's

230
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: see who else is there, Chuck, While I saw Jackie Daniels,

231
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: which is kind of good. Some of them play off

232
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: the tough like liquor bottle thing like our friend. Well,

233
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: we should also say to our friend Debbie freak Girl.

234
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: Freak Girl dot com is her blog and she's a

235
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: freelance writer. She did not write this, but she is

236
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: new to Roller Derby and I post some questions for

237
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: her and we'll get to those throughout. But her name Tobe.

238
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: We can't have her doing voice whatever it would be cool.

239
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: Her name is Molotov cupcake and she makes she's really

240
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: good cupcake baker. So she's incorporating her love of liquor

241
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: and explosives and cupcakes into one. And I should also

242
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: mention too, my favorite name of all time. This is

243
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: from a listener about a year ago, wrote in and

244
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: her name was sudden Beth. I thought, just sometimes the

245
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: simplicity of a name like that, Sudden Beth. There was

246
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: in the um Helen Wheels doc one of the original

247
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: roller girls was um Betty Ragette. I like that one too. Yeah, yeah,

248
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:51,119
Speaker 1: apparently beyond According to Molotov, cop Cupcake is uh the

249
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: worst biggest blocker you've ever heard of. Yes, history of

250
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: big girl, and she is uh like size. That's one

251
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: of the cool things about roller Derby that Debbie points

252
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: out and that the league points out, is that physique

253
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: does not matter you you have a skill set you

254
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: can bring whether you are a two and fifty pound

255
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: blocker or you're like Juno and you can just zip

256
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: through people real fast. Page I know, Okay, sorry, you

257
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: look stupefied. No, I know, but it's you know, that's

258
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: part of the fun of it all. It's picking out

259
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: your name and and designing your uniform and your look

260
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: as a team. The one from New York is they

261
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: have one that's really cool. They're all have like a

262
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: checker cab theme, so they have like checkered hose on

263
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: and like a yellow cab skirts and shirts like bowling shirts.

264
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: It's cool. I think that the one the common theme. Uh.

265
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: If not, it's not physique like you said, It's basically

266
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: just cheer, guts and and an ability to stand up

267
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: to torture, including self torture, right, which is um, pretty

268
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: much the basis of training. Yeah. Like Debbie was telling

269
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: you in in that little mini interview you conduct did

270
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: with her that, Um, she had to do plank positions, squats,

271
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: push ups, what else? Um, well all of this is

272
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: in skates, by the way. Well I was going to

273
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: add that at the end that's like the sucker. Okay,

274
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: you can't put the kicker in the middle. She did.

275
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: They cover basic she said, it was boot camp on

276
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: wheels and squats and all sorts of like physical training,

277
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: all on skates. There you go. Which, Um, she's in

278
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: the new in the on the New Jersey Hell Razors

279
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: with a Z team and they practiced two hours twice

280
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: a week, and she's been training for four and a

281
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: half months and just finished her basic skills tests, right,

282
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: And so when you're when you're training, like she was

283
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: just talking about basically um calisthenics, but there's like training

284
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: as well, like you throw yourself on the ground to

285
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: learn how to roll and get up really quick. Because

286
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: it's not just getting up, like you're getting up with

287
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: four wheels on each foot and people zipping by you.

288
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: That you have to learn how to jump over people.

289
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. I have ever tried to jump

290
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: in skates? And have you ever done any disco boogie

291
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: in or anything? Like I was an ice skater? Okay,

292
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: role bouncing? No, all right, did you see that movie?

293
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I saw parts of it. Yeah, it looked pretty cool.

294
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: They still do that in New York. Some in the

295
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: seventies like Disgust skating and do everything in New York.

296
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Now that's off New York. Um. You also have to

297
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: skate at high speeds, Chuck, I understand. Yes, there's a

298
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: actually bullet in this Tracy Wilson article it says skate

299
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: at high speeds. There's also one that says you need

300
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,359
Speaker 1: to stretch out beforehand. Yeah, that's a big one too, um.

301
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: And you have to start and stop in skates, it's

302
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: what Yeah, but I think to be fair, I think

303
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: that means like you need to start and stop on

304
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: a dime precision, high speed skating, dodging, jumping, balance control,

305
00:16:53,640 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: all on four wheels, eight wheels, just alright to check.

306
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: That's the training part and apparently it's not. Um. There's

307
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: a a very um delineated process to it, and you

308
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: keep the newer people away from the more experienced people

309
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: according to Debbie fresh Meat. And then you actually have

310
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: to pass a test to be calm, like in a

311
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: sanctioned UM flat track derby association UM participant you know, yeah,

312
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: like you, I guess you can't actually participating about until

313
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: you're cleared by them, right, yeah, because it's dangerous. You know,

314
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: they don't want you out there getting hurt. Um, although

315
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: people do get hurt all the time, clearly, Uh should

316
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: we talk about that and now we'll talk about that later. Well,

317
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about how to play. Yeah, Like, because even

318
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: after reading this and understanding the rules, unless you really

319
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: I think it's probably one of those ones where unless

320
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: you're there or you're very familiar with the two teams,

321
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: so you know who's who. It's tough to it just

322
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: looks like a muddle of like elbows and fists and stuff.

323
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: And in the More movie they handle that kind of

324
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: clumsily just by having a segment where they explain the rules.

325
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Do that? That's like, did Ellen Page to explain the rules?

326
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: Because that's what she did an Inception two. Remember like

327
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: every every like thirty minute, she'd stop and look at

328
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: the camera and be like, okay, everybody, it's refresher. She

329
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: didn't explain the rules. I think Jimmy Fallon did. But

330
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: it's necessary in a movie like that because when you

331
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: look at a roller derby match, if you don't know

332
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: what's going on, you might just think it's mayhem out

333
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: there because it looks like mayhem. But there's actually, uh,

334
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: not just rules, but there's also strategy to this as well,

335
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: which makes it even more awesome. Right, let's hear it, Josh, Okay, Well, Chuck.

336
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: First of all, let's talk about the different kinds of

337
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: players on the team. You have two teams, and to

338
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: these teams are going to play about five players each. Right,

339
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: um about is a series of shorter races two minutes tops,

340
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: but they can be shorter than that. They're called jams. Jams. Right.

341
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: So you have a jammer and this person is delineated

342
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: by a star on her helmet, right, the jammer. Uh,

343
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: there's a jammer on each team, and the jammer is

344
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: the only person on these teams who can actually score

345
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: a point, right, right, So here's the deal. You've got

346
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: a jammer on each team. You have three blockers on

347
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: each team, and the blockers don't have anything on their helmets.

348
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: And then you have pivots on each team. So if

349
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: you're looking at the starting line going back, you have

350
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: the two pivots have stripes on their helmets. Yes, thank you, Chuck.

351
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: And the pivots act is kind of like the you know,

352
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: like a catcher in Major League Baseball is kind of

353
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: managing what's going on on the field, same thing. Uh.

354
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Tracy also compared the pivots to like NASCAR NASCAR pace cars. Yeah,

355
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: they set the pace of the of the game base

356
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: but they're also like calling moves out to the rest

357
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: of the team. There they actually plays. Okay, thank you right, um, So, Chuck,

358
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: going from the front back is the pivots, the blockers,

359
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: and then the jammers and the pivots and the blockers

360
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: all take off when the ref um blows his whistle

361
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: the first time, and then after about twenty ft actually

362
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: after exactly the ref blows his whistle again, and then

363
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: the jammers take off, right, So their whole point is

364
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: to sneak through the crowd and get ahead of them

365
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: and come all the way back around, lap them and

366
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: go through again. Yeah. I get the idea that the

367
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: jammer is clearly the speediest and and probably most skilled

368
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: skater and probably the most velt slinkiest person who can

369
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: just kind of like get through. I would think so, yeah,

370
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: but I would think you'd have to be extremely um

371
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: skilled because you're you're probably having to jump the most. Like,

372
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: your whole job is to go forward as fast as possible.

373
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: There's many trying to keep you from going forward, right,

374
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: So you get a point for every player as long

375
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: as everything is above the boards an inbound and we'll

376
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: get to some of the the um the rules and

377
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: penalties in a second. But um, for every player the

378
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: jammer passes after the first lap. Yeah, the first lap,

379
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: there's no points, right, No, but that establishes the lead

380
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: jammer and we'll get to why that's important in a second,

381
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: but for every every opposing player the jammer passes that

382
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: their team gets a point. Right, So the lead jammer

383
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: is the one who comes out of the pack first

384
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: through the first lap, no points are scored, but the

385
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: lead jammer has the ability to actually stop the jam

386
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: when you act that out right by and by putting

387
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: her hands on her hips or touching her helmet and

388
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: touching her hips a couple of times I've seen as well,

389
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: and that means the jam is over and there's a

390
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: break in between, and then you start another jam, which

391
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: is a part of the overall about Is that right?

392
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: That's right? And we were wondering, I wonder if Debi

393
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: emailed me back, why you would call a jam before

394
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: the period is over, the two minute period, And we

395
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: both surmise that it's probably a strategy thing if you

396
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: feel like like they're calling out the points. I believe

397
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: if you're up on points, you can just go ahead

398
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: and call the jam and you've won that jam. Right,

399
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: You're you're locking the other team out of a comeback

400
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: from that jam, right. I think that's probably why they

401
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: would do it. Why else would they do it? So

402
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: that's pretty much like a standard jam. Yeah, that's how

403
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: it's scored. And there's actually there's a cool um flash

404
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: animation on our site. Did you check it out? Now?

405
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: I watched a YouTube thing in the article. It's um.

406
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: You can just click and you make all these little

407
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: people that you're seeing from overhead go around and yeah,

408
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty nat. It's fun. It gets the point across

409
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: very well. So Josh, there are some other rules, uh,

410
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: specific rules, um, because it's not just a free for all,

411
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: like you can't trip and stuff like that. So we'll

412
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: read a few of these. Off. You have to be

413
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: in bound. You can't go out of bounds to pass

414
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: an opponent in order to score your point. UM, like

415
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: you set, I believe you can pass the jam or

416
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: responsibility over to your pivot. Is that right? You can

417
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: match Apparently there's something on the helmet that you can

418
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: I guess the star comes off, um, and you can

419
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: pass it during the match, but the lead jammer status

420
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: doesn't transfer. Oh, so you can't call the match or

421
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: the jam. Sorry, it's more complex. In college football, UM,

422
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: you do not receive additional points if you fall all

423
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: to the back of the pack and then pass the

424
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: same player. So you can't ZiT by everybody, then hang

425
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: back and do it all over again. Once you pass

426
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: that player, that's your point for that player, right, you

427
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: have to come all the way around again and lap them, right,

428
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: And if you actually lap the other jammer, that's more points.

429
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: That's called the grand slam. That's called money in the bank,

430
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: my friend. That's the big daddy move of all time. Okay,

431
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: and I imagine that's pretty hard. I would say a

432
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: jammer probably has to go down for that to happen. Yeah,

433
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: or your jammer just has to stink. Yeah, it could

434
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: be a poor, poor jammer. So what what's the deal

435
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: with the blocking, because obviously you're not just skating through

436
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: each other. Your purpose as a blocker is to keep

437
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: them from going by you. Okay, So I think the

438
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: rules are the rules slightly very a little bit here

439
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: there league the League. I get the impression, but some

440
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: of the very common ones are you can't block with

441
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: your armfully extended. Definitely, no clothes line. Yeah, that's stuff

442
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: you've seen in the movies when they hook up together

443
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: and clothesline. That's just that's not that's not right. Or

444
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: they might do that to timid hand. You can I

445
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: think you can hold hands, but neither person's arm can

446
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: be um fully extended. Okay, um, you can't throw. You

447
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: can throw elbows, but you can't throw elbows above the shoulder.

448
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: Generally you can't throw block um actually blow mid thigh

449
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: was at mid thy Now you can't fall on purpose

450
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: in front of somebody, as awesome as that move is,

451
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: especially to fall and the person jumps over you, because

452
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: it's like burn. Uh And what happens if you break

453
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: these rules? As you go to a penalty box just

454
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: called the sinbin the sinbin, so like an ice hockey,

455
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: you can spend like thirty seconds to a minute in there,

456
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: which is you know, that's like half a jam. Or

457
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: you can if you commit a major you can be

458
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: completely uh like removed from the scene, like fighting, removed

459
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: from the scene. The police come like you the you know,

460
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: any kind of ding or I think deliberate falling is

461
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: a major infraction unless the person jumps over and goes

462
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: not true, or if you foul a skater while they're down,

463
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: or if you give the referee too much guff, I

464
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: think they can throw you out. Dramatic and subordination Yeah, um,

465
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: I know the roller girl's um sin been is a

466
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: waiting pool and at least Circuit two thousand four, I

467
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: just say, right, there's a there's a picture of m

468
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: one of the roller girls in a in a waiting pool,

469
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: and there's like a wheel of fortune that you spend

470
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: to find out what your penalty is. I got a

471
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: few more things here from Debbie. Okay, Chuck. She said

472
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: that she had not been on roller skates since she

473
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: was fifteen. Yeah, because that's a big deal. I don't

474
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: think roller skating is like riding a bike necessarily. Uh No,

475
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: it's like riding roller skates. And she is she's about

476
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: my age now, which I'm not gonna say how old

477
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: Debbie is because I just want to be nice. So um.

478
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: She said that there are there are women that have

479
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: never been on skates before though in her training. And

480
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: I asked her about the bonding aspect of it, because

481
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: I think Debbie did it because she was looking for

482
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: something fun to do and an activity, a physical activity

483
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: to you know, help her keep in shape and stuff

484
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: like that and stuff. Well, she said it's the hardest

485
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: thing she's ever had to do physically, but she said

486
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: the bonding has been the most surprising and best part

487
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: about it, she said that after feeling sort of awkward

488
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: initially as being the new girl, she's all of a

489
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: sudden has eighteen new girlfriends and they're real supportive of

490
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: each other. I think, she said, one of the girls

491
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: is in a band and they'll go and see her play.

492
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sure some of these uh ladies probably eat

493
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: her cupcakes. You know, I'm sure too, So it's a

494
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: it's a good you know, uh, it's a good supportive

495
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: scene there. And I think part of it has to

496
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: do with the fact that men aren't allowed and so

497
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: it's uh women feel empowered to have a sport to

498
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: call their own that's rough and tumble. And her niece

499
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: even remarked she thought it was cool that there's a

500
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: sport that boys aren't allowed to play. Yeah, it's very cute.

501
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: And and another factor that Debbie likes, and I know

502
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,239
Speaker 1: that most of the women probably like, is that, you know,

503
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: you it's fun. You get to dress up. She says,

504
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: she gets to wear cute skirts and knee high socks

505
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: and then go beat the crap onto somebody and then

506
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: have a beer with her later on. So the sex

507
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: and violence, I'll rolled into one. You gotta chuck. But

508
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's as American as it get. I think

509
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: you just came up with the new slogan we should

510
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: pitch that. Yeah. Uh, And there is tons of violence.

511
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of injury, although from what I've seen

512
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: of century roller derby compared to nineteen seventies roller derby,

513
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: there's far far less violence, but I think it's um

514
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: more frequently real. Um. Yeah, there's a lot of injury,

515
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot of soft tissue injury, contusions. One of the

516
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: roller girls interviewed in this article broker tailbone twice. Have

517
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: you ever fallen on your tailbone? You're just yeah, you've

518
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: come nowhere near breaking it, but it's just like it's

519
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: really jarring pain. It's awful breaking it twice. I can't

520
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: so it happens. You couldn't catch me out there. Man,

521
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: they're way tougher than I am. Yeah. What's the fish

522
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: net injury? What's that called? Uh? It's called fish net burn.

523
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: It's where you fall and slide while you're wearing fishnets

524
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: and at least like the stippled burn on your on

525
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: your leg. I got hit and I gotta tell you

526
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: it's not nice. It's not nice. I got hit in

527
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: the face with a baseball when I was a kid,

528
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: and I had like the baseball stitches embedded in my face.

529
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: I don't know why I felt they need to tell

530
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: you that, but it's swoll shut dude. I got hit

531
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: in the face and dropped to the ground and pick

532
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: my head up and my eye was already swollen. Shut.

533
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: It looked like an Amish woman. I did, chuck, Josh.

534
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's about it, right, Well, we we should

535
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: say if you want to support UM, we are coming

536
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: into playoff season. Oh wait, hold on, let's talk about that.

537
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: These leagues are. There's like pretty much no paid professional

538
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: rollers roller girls. They're all They pay for their own equipment,

539
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: They pay dues for the league, right, um. And a

540
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: lot of times these leagues are pretty much de facto

541
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: charitable organizations. Yeah, it's awesome, like they donate to um

542
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: local charities in the community. UM. And even better, there's

543
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: some corporate sponsors like PBR is a big corporate sponsor,

544
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: which means that they just funnel money right to charities

545
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: for these groups. So if you go pay to see

546
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: a roller derby, you're going to um be helping people.

547
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: Probably they have raffles and stuff and they sell swag,

548
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: and I think there's comic books. Yeah, they sell swag,

549
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: they have the it's just um. So, like I said,

Speaker 1: people vote, he will throw it away. That's really cool,

610
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,400

Speaker 1: a guide for the recently turned creature of the Night,

614
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,440

620
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,560

621
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,760
