OPTIMUS GRIME Special Guest! - 074 - Elemental Roller Derby, Becoming an AVATAR, the Vagus Nerve (and Pancake!)

Optimus Grime LOVES roller derby and Avatar the Last Airbender! In this episode, we talk about elemental roller derby. Are you an Air Jammer? Fire? Earth? Water? How to you combat the different elements? Grime also teaches me some science about taking control of the Vagus nerve in your body to CALM DOWN when you are freaking out during a game or real life situation. And of course, we talk about Pancake, the adorable corgi! Optimus Grime skates for Manchester New Wheeled Order and Team Scotland, teaches classes at RollerCon, and coaches all over the world with Rosie Peacock. Also proud puppy parent to Pancake.
