Hello, welcome to the history of fun where we explore the hidden backstories behind the things you love to do.

My name is Russ Frustick.

I'm joined by Allegra Frank.

Hey, Legra.

Hey, Russ. Hey! She makes fun of my enthusiasm. And we have another special guest, Abby. Russell is joining us. Hey, Abby. Hello. Hi. I'm so glad to be here. It is a delight to have you. Abby works for a website called giantbomb.com. They cover video games just like Polygon does, but you know what?

They do it with their own special style, and we appreciate that about them.

Yes.

Does that many help is patronizing?

It was just the right amount of patronizing.

That's how everyone should talk about Giant Bomb.

Awesome.

That's what I'm striving for.

Abby is joining us. Chris is still on paternity leave. This will probably be his last week away.

But Abby is swooping in as the expert this week. And this is a very special topic because it's a topic that I know almost nothing about.

I know that it exists and I know what it looks like when people do it, but beyond that,

I know nothing.

And the topic is, take it away, Abby.

Roller Derby.

Roller Derby.

The roller derbs.

So I'm going to speak briefly on what I know about Roller Derby.

Hopefully Allegra can chime in and then the actual expert will take it away.
