This week hosts Ben and Norah are talking about the word roll.  As a verb and as a noun it conjures up a wide variety of phrases and concepts.  Along with the conversational riffing, additional topics include: ball bearings, inline skates, some mild Physics, RollerGames, and the 1975 movie Rollerball.  Then it’s on to video games!  Ben talks about Roller Champions, Mega Man, Katamari Damacy, and Bouldy from Hades.

00:02:23 - The Ann Sather incident of every time Norah goes, and cinnamon rolls
00:04:19 - Number 2 on the “Norah roll list…” rock n’ roll!

00:22:53 - The coefficients of sliding, static friction (angle of repose) and more on ball bearings

00:29:45 - Ben remembers the only season of RollerGames, and licensed arcade machines
