on this episode

00:00:01

it's the strangest sport ever and it's

00:00:04

bigger than ever that's a freaking

00:00:06

pileup and when it comes to Roller Derby

00:00:08

Derby dolls just gotta do it oh we've

00:00:12

gone down

00:00:13

but why do I you have got to be kidding

00:00:17

me

00:00:18

[Music]

00:00:23

I participated in a number of activities

00:00:25

on this program that some might call

00:00:29

dangerous

00:00:31

and occasionally

00:00:34

ill-advised

00:00:36

but this one I believe is best described

00:00:39

as painful now let's go with humbling

00:00:44

because these women make it look so darn

00:00:47

easy

00:00:49

[Music] [Applause]

00:00:52

I'm not one to say no to a challenge to

00:00:55

find out why the decidedly female sport

00:00:57

of roller derby is still with us I've

00:00:59

come to meet the San Diego Derby Dolls

00:01:01

and their general manager a woman who

00:01:04

calls herself Isabel ringer

00:01:09

roller derby and an undisclosed location

00:01:13

and by an undisclosed location I think

00:01:15

they mean extremely well hidden and

00:01:18

impossible to find I'm sure my cameraman

00:01:20

knows exactly where to go but I hate to

00:01:22

ask for directions

00:01:24

don't tell me I'm Keen to guess

00:01:34

it looks like he's a little lost

00:01:37

hey Mike you looking for me I'm looking

00:01:40

for somebody

00:01:42

holy smokes what a great place to break

00:01:44

your neck how's it going good how are

00:01:46

you Isabel ringer Mike Rowe welcome to

00:01:48

the dollhouse there's no way your name's

00:01:50

Isabel ringer really that's one of my

00:01:52

names yeah my name is Neely Goldfarb I'm

00:01:55

the general manager of San Diego to

00:01:57

redials everybody calls me ringer around

00:01:59

here all right

00:02:03

I don't know what are you doing what is

00:02:05

this you're part of a league yeah so San

00:02:08

Diego Derby dolls were a league here we

00:02:10

played bag track roller derby that's

00:02:11

this big old thing you see right here

00:02:14

so uh we're gonna get you up and running

00:02:17

today we're going to teach you a little

00:02:18

bit of that Athletics without any skates

00:02:20

on really then we're gonna put some

00:02:22

skates on I don't know how to skate

00:02:24

really did you get some gear for you

00:02:25

you're not really co-ed are you well so

00:02:27

there are men involved in what we do but

00:02:30

we run all women's athletic teams yeah

00:02:32

is this part of the warm-up by any

00:02:34

chance

00:02:35

we're pretty family friendly

00:02:37

organization so there's a lot of kids

00:02:38

that hang out here uh-huh

00:02:40

what's the average age of the women so

00:02:43

the adult program starts at 18 and goes

00:02:46

anywhere on up our oldest member is 50.

00:02:48

I'd say the average is probably like 29

00:02:51

for our adults yeah

00:02:53

I'm older than that we're pretty

00:02:55

accepting groups so we'll make it work

00:02:56

all right you're not gonna hurt me are

00:02:58

you we're definitely gonna hurt you

00:03:02

let's gear up

00:03:04

the Derby dolls Army so again is it just

00:03:08

the Derby dolls that are the army or the

00:03:09

whole league anyone that works with us

00:03:11

is in the Army so the skaters are the

00:03:13

army drafts are the army people that

00:03:15

really like to hang out with us they're

00:03:17

in the Army too that's very confusing so

00:03:19

this is an army of the 21st century this

00:03:21

is an all this is a very inclusive Army

00:03:23

it's a very inclusive organization

00:03:25

so with the exception say of half

00:03:28

the species everyone's welcome

00:03:32

um we have almost

00:03:33

a male referees some women but a lot of

00:03:36

men how does that work

00:03:39

appreciate the games I know I know how

00:03:40

it works but why why why did you bring

00:03:43

in a man to ultimately make the decision

00:03:46

there's no gender rules on that

00:03:48

so a lot of men want to be involved and

00:03:50

it's an awesome way for them to get

00:03:51

involved I bet it's fun yeah all right

00:03:54

while I gear up to become part of the

00:03:56

Derby doll Army I might as well tell you

00:03:58

everything I know about the strange

00:04:00

history of roller derby and the depths

00:04:03

of the Great Depression down on his luck

00:04:04

movie theater owner named Leo Seltzer

00:04:07

found a way to capitalize on The Craze

00:04:09

for dance marathons and long distance

00:04:11

endurance Races by holding the very

00:04:14

first indoor transcontinental roller

00:04:16

derby the idea was the teams of men and

00:04:19

women would escape the distance of the

00:04:21

continental United States on an oval

00:04:23

track in a contest that lasted over a

00:04:26

month what audiences really seem to

00:04:28

respond to though was that competitors

00:04:30

accidental collisions as they attempted

00:04:32

to pass each other the writer Damon

00:04:35

Runyon encouraged Seltzer to make the

00:04:37

Rough and Tumble stuff a major aspect of

00:04:39

the sport and naturally the fans went

00:04:42

wild from those humble Origins came to

00:04:45

Derby as it exists today

00:04:49

now that I'm properly tired for

00:04:50

humiliation it's time to meet some of

00:04:52

the other Derby dolls who like Isabelle

00:04:54

ringer have some interesting names

00:04:57

hi hi Mike boo

00:05:02

[Music]

00:05:20

yeah is that politically correct is that

00:05:22

cool to do yeah okay

00:05:26

great

00:05:28

I've been dropped spun stabbed drowned

00:05:33

and blown up

00:05:34

but I have never before been trampled by

00:05:38

a gang of wheeled women personally I

00:05:40

don't think I've got the skills to even

00:05:42

skate around the bank by myself but

00:05:44

there is an incredible and undeniable

00:05:47

optimism in the air and optimism I do

00:05:50

not share how is this possible how is it

00:05:53

possible that I can go on this bank and

00:05:55

do this this is I mean you really you

00:05:58

pick it up quick better than I would

00:05:59

have done Ringer's misplaced Hope Has

00:06:01

infected my producer he too is now

00:06:04

utterly deluded I think we should give

00:06:06

it a try our best shot see how it goes

00:06:08

what's with the pronouns we I mean why

00:06:11

do you always get with let's let's us

00:06:13

give it a try I need like 30 permissions

00:06:16

to get in a monster truck that goes

00:06:17

three miles an hour but these guys will

00:06:19

let me skate around here in the Death

00:06:20

Race 2000

00:06:23

okay so the centrifugal force of this

00:06:25

works that if you skate a little lower

00:06:26

in the turn and a little higher in the

00:06:29

straightaway the track almost like cups

00:06:31

you and you start getting kicked out of

00:06:34

those churns and you just pick up speed

00:06:36

without a lot of extra effort because

00:06:38

the track is actually built for that

00:06:48

it's just a snow way this is like a

00:06:51

magician explaining how a trick works

00:06:54

you know you just cut her in half and

00:06:56

then when you pull the curtain back

00:06:58

she's together and you're like I don't

00:07:00

understand we're trying to break it down

00:07:02

into little tiny parts and if you can

00:07:04

get all the little tiny Parts we'll put

00:07:05

it together to make one big thing you

00:07:07

ready to try to do a couple laps see

00:07:09

what you can do and if you feel like

00:07:10

you're gonna fall you're gonna go

00:07:11

forward onto the pads that you have okay

00:07:13

let's do it okay

00:07:16

put all that weight on the inside of

00:07:18

that left foot

00:07:20

as I've said often I'm not paid to

00:07:22

succeed I'm paid to try

00:07:25

my ego Will Survive even if I don't

00:07:27

besides I've learned how to fall gonna

00:07:30

try and roll a little bit are you ready

00:07:31

yeah same thing let's go

00:07:34

yeah

00:07:35

it's just

00:07:38

oh geez

00:07:40

[Applause]

00:07:42

I know I know it hurts a lot less

00:07:44

falling on the bank track than it does

00:07:46

on the flat track though there's

00:07:47

actually getting on this there's a Paris

00:07:49

Instagram is there did you feel the

00:07:51

bounce yeah in my teeth most people when

00:07:54

they start out with us they don't get a

00:07:56

private coach in a private session you

00:07:58

have like all the tools we can possibly

00:08:00

give you to succeed at this today you

00:08:03

are a feel-good upbeat Lady

00:08:05

it's a goal of today's Crucible is to

00:08:08

fill me with respect for the skill

00:08:09

endurance and raw courage these women

00:08:11

possess mission accomplished if on the

00:08:14

other hand we're here to explore the

00:08:16

depths of my humiliation by all means

00:08:18

let's continue okay perfect you smell

00:08:21

good though you feel right and here's

00:08:23

what my humiliation looks like from my

00:08:26

point of view

00:08:31

all right here's the deal you're gonna

00:08:33

get up and get going and you're gonna

00:08:35

get into that really good stance we

00:08:36

practice and Bo's gonna do all the rest

00:08:38

of the work Wonderful right now you're

00:08:41

getting a little bit of speed

00:08:43

stick with it stay in that position that

00:08:46

was good

00:08:49

all I wanted to do was not fall back

00:08:51

everybody's still Falls I don't want to

00:08:52

fall back me neither

00:08:57

you did that on purpose I totally didn't

00:09:00

do that on purpose seriously yeah

00:09:02

seriously let's talk about basic

00:09:05

insurance for a minute all right what

00:09:07

kind of waivers do you have to sign to

00:09:08

do this a lot okay you know our founder

00:09:11

once said Bonnie she said we sacrifice

00:09:14

our bodies to save our soul and I think

00:09:16

that's how a lot of us feel in roller

00:09:18

derby that it's just something that

00:09:20

important to us and we get a little beat

00:09:21

up and we're bruised here and there and

00:09:23

then we heal we learn and we come back

00:09:25

stronger you know yeah mental yes it's

00:09:29

mental we don't say can't here

00:09:31

can I say won't nope not why I'm

00:09:34

coaching you what are the Hallmarks of

00:09:36

any great humiliation is the willingness

00:09:38

to put Comfort before dignity I rarely

00:09:41

get to that point my rear end though was

00:09:44

there about a half hour ago

00:09:46

I can't believe they're gonna let them

00:09:48

humiliate you like this

00:09:49

what you've been humiliating me all day

00:09:52

it's a different kind of humiliation

00:09:54

really can't hurt

00:10:03

have you no Pride no

00:10:06

no I don't

00:10:08

good sit your butt down low and let's

00:10:10

like gradually come in toward the

00:10:11

infield nice and slow nice and slow if

00:10:14

you're gonna fall go down your knees

00:10:16

perfect

00:10:20

after a moment of such singular Triumph

00:10:23

do I have the good sense to quit while

00:10:25

I'm ahead you bet I do but that doesn't

00:10:27

mean Ringer's gonna let me so you were

00:10:29

in the army

00:10:31

your Derby doll we're going to give you

00:10:32

a proper name yeah Skid Row lucky number

00:10:36

13. okay it looks as though I've been

00:10:38

drafted into the blue shirts who will be

00:10:41

scrimmaging against the black shirts

00:10:43

here's how it works each team is

00:10:45

comprised of five players skating in One

00:10:47

Direction around an oval track games are

00:10:51

divided into four quarters each quarter

00:10:53

consists of several short matches called

00:10:55

jams each team has a designated Jammer

00:10:58

whose job it is to score points by

00:11:00

lapping members of the opposing team

00:11:02

each time the Jammer passes an opposing

00:11:05

player their team scores a point so the

00:11:08

rest of the players do everything they

00:11:09

can to assist their Jammer and hinder

00:11:12

the opposing Jammer in order to do this

00:11:15

thing that I clearly should not do I'll

00:11:17

have to become first in the art of

00:11:19

obstructive and destructive blocking

00:11:21

what's low right because you're ready

00:11:23

because you might fall over here we go

00:11:25

I'm coming around I'm gonna put a lot of

00:11:27

surface area on you I'm gonna fall

00:11:29

perfect that was perfect that's just

00:11:33

what roller derby looks like lots of

00:11:34

falling

00:11:36

huh I didn't realize everybody falls all

00:11:38

the time I don't when I told you I was

00:11:39

gonna fall today I mean like I'm gonna

00:11:41

fall many times today right all right

00:11:43

I'm gonna do it to you one more time 99

00:11:45

of the time helmets are a nuisance one

00:11:48

percent of the time oh they keep you

00:11:50

alive

00:11:52

I am so tired of falling on my back

00:11:55

getting out alive has now become my

00:11:57

prime directive but still these women

00:11:59

are here because they love it that's

00:12:01

undeniable

00:12:03

how long you been at this dirty birdie

00:12:05

um I've been playing roller derby since

00:12:07

I was 12.

00:12:08

[Music]

00:12:13

for girls before this was the first

00:12:14

place that I ever did how long did it

00:12:17

take you to feel confident before you

00:12:18

got on this thing oh maybe like six

00:12:20

months six months part of it is like

00:12:22

your mind knows what you want to do and

00:12:24

it's so frustrating when your body is

00:12:26

not cooperating that is very much what

00:12:28

I'm experiencing right now if I thought

00:12:30

for a moment that I had a prayer of

00:12:33

surviving a single Loop I'd be out there

00:12:35

in a second honest but in the words of

00:12:38

King Lear I smell of mortality look

00:12:42

I'm gonna die up there

00:12:47

I'm telling you I saw it I'm gonna be

00:12:50

the first I saw the bright light at the

00:12:52

end of a tunnel and the tunnel was

00:12:54

shaped like a silver ring

00:12:56

with a hill on it are you just telling

00:12:58

me that you're done for today I'm not

00:13:00

saying I'm done I'm gonna stay here I

00:13:02

want to watch leave your gear on yeah

00:13:04

yeah okay and if we get into the moment

00:13:07

and you're like you know what coach yeah

00:13:08

put me out there I think I can do it

00:13:10

right probably not gonna I'll be right

00:13:12

there next to you that sounds great not

00:13:14

right good no yes yes yes everything

00:13:17

else you're gonna be with your team

00:13:18

right

00:13:19

a spirited roller derby match is

00:13:21

underway at an undisclosed location

00:13:23

between the blue shirted San Diego Derby

00:13:25

dolls and the black shirt at San Diego

00:13:27

Derby dolls it's a freaking pile up

00:13:29

right now I'm happily warming the bench

00:13:31

for the Blues

00:13:34

okay when she comes around she's gonna

00:13:36

get one point for every turquoise player

00:13:38

she passes

00:13:44

does that look kind of brutal

00:13:46

gotta be kidding me

00:13:51

look at him look at her this one

00:13:55

oh unbelievable

00:13:58

the more I watch the more certain I

00:14:00

become that some sort of Calamity would

00:14:02

absolutely positively result in any

00:14:05

attempt on my part to circumnavigate

00:14:07

this track I shall remain fenced

00:14:14

our Jammer is smoke

00:14:17

it is there it is

00:14:25

wow wow

00:14:28

that was unbelievable although I saw you

00:14:31

at the end do a nice little uh a little

00:14:33

little no it's a little torture it was

00:14:36

nice A little pirouette and in fact

00:14:37

let's play that back in slow motion

00:14:39

right now just to embarrass him

00:14:41

[Music]

00:14:52

foreign

00:14:56

[Music]

00:15:01

my team is awesome and as a good team

00:15:05

player I'm committed to doing my part to

00:15:07

ensure Victory by staying out of the way

00:15:10

but maybe in the spirit of Newt Rockne I

00:15:13

can keep their Spirits high with a

00:15:15

rousing halftime speech ladies if I

00:15:18

could let me just say based on what I've

00:15:20

seen clearly what we have here is a team

00:15:23

effort and yet I would challenge all of

00:15:25

you to find the thing that makes you

00:15:27

special and makes you connected not just

00:15:30

to who you are or who you think you are

00:15:32

but to that person who's skating next to

00:15:34

you that person who's blocking for you
