If I punched your ear 11 times,
as hard as I can,
do you think they'd still look cute?
Well, let's see! [LAUGHS]
Can I punch her?
I'm excited!
[SCREAMS]
I'm hungry.
I cut myself
Ugh!
I thought being a grown-up
was like,
buying whatever you wanted
like having a ball pool in your house.
Parking permits,
going to the post office.
I'm over that.
Surely somebody
can do all of this
for me?
[EXPLOSION]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Hi Joe! Rosie!!
[SCREAMS] Rosie!!
How are you?
[SHOUTING] [SHOUTING]
Stop shouting in my ear!
Come on! You can't hear anyway.
Brilliant.
What are you cooking me, come on?
A little ribby-roo.
How have you been?
Can I be honest?
Yeah.
I haven't been good lately.
Why?
I don't know.
Sometimes I have the odd wobble.
Me too.
Wahey! [LAUGHS]
Comedy! Comedy!
How've you been?
Being here on my own
sometimes it's so hard.
Why do I feel like there's something going on here?
No, no! You're looking
extra strong.
Get to the point.
I'm just a little
disabled lady
who needs help
from a big strong guy.
I see what you're doing there.
I see that you're tugging on the heartstrings.
And I've made you
a lovely...
rib.
[GIGGLES] [LAUGHS]
What do you want me to do?
Over here.
I think you're missing some bits,
you must be missing some bits.
I'm not!
Hang on.
Sort yourself out.
Er... [LAUGHS]
How is rugby?
It's all right. I'm getting on a bit now.
How old are you?
31.
No way!
Why'd you say it like that?
'Cause you look way older than me.
I mean, come on!
You look like
you're my dad
from a second marriage [LAUGHS]
I'm so glad I came round.
Most boys are starting to retire about 27, 28 now.
Yeah.
'Cause of all the injuries and the bangs
and the bumps and stuff like that And the ears
And the ears.
[LAUGHS]
That wasn't gonna be my next part of the sentence,
but we'll go with the ears.
I like your ears,
but they're quite
massive.
Massive. Okay.
I'm just checking your ears out.
They're cute.
If I punched your ear 11 times as hard as I can
do you think they'd still look cute?
Well, let's see! [LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS]
Can, can I, can I, can I punch her?
Oh, yeah!
Is that okay? Yeah.
Do I have to sign, does she have to sign a waiver?
No, no, it's okay,
cause I've already got
brain damage.
[LAUGHS] [LAUGHS]
Where do I go from there?
It's a free pass! [LAUGHS]
Just gotta take a call outside,
where's my bag? [CREW LAUGH]
Go on!
Just hit me.
I'm excited [SCREAMS]
Is there any way to speed it up
and then email
it to me?
Chop the carrots
You're not good with chopping, no?
Uh, what do you think?
Would you ever do a nine-to-five?
I think I've been quite lucky
that there isn't really a HR department in rugby.
Yeah.
That's my biggest fear.
You would not
go down well,
with Julie from HR
[LAUGHS]
[HAMMERING]
So you talked about injures.
Yeah.
but you didn't talk about
when you got concussion.
I got a bad one.
I ran into a bloke called Billy Vunipola; huge.
The next thing I know I'm in the physio room.
Kit man came in.
Yeah.
And he went 'alright, Shagger, how are you?'
'You got your kids here as well?'
And I went,
'I've got kids?'
And it was a real moment for me.
I'd completely forgotten that I had kids.
No!
That was a scary, scary moment.
I broke down in tears, right there, and I was like, 'oh my God'.
But sort of, since then,
concussion's being taken more seriously in rugby.
You know, it's scary.
But, at the same time, as long
as you know what you're getting yourself in for.
Yeah.
You can make an informed decision about it.
Yeah, I feel like
there's a lot of
bravado in rugby.
It's a contact sport.
Yeah.
So you have to be like that traditional alpha.
But why can't you be an alpha on the pitch
and talk openly off the pitch Yeah.
about any struggles, Yeah.
whether it's money, whether it's family, relationships,
your mental health? Yeah.
Why can't that be spoken about?
Yeah.
And it was always a stigma and a fear in rugby.
If you open yourself up then it'd be used against you.
Here's old soft,
soft nuts here.
He's a weakness. We can get after him.
The weakness is bottling it up.
Yeah.
And then not having the ability to deal with it.
And then it builds and builds.
[HAMMERING]
Aww!
No! Nothing happened.
I'm in a different world
but I have spent my life
going 'Yeah!
I've got cerebral palsy
but don't worry
I'm mentally fine'.
As if not being
mentally fine
is a problem,
It's only recently,
it's made me go,
'Oh, maybe, I do suffer
from mental health,
I do suffer from anxiety'.
I'm still not there,
I feel like,
bit like a rugby player,
bravado, I need to go,
'Hey, I'm Rosie.
I'm fine,
don't feel sorry for me,
you little prick'.
[LAUGHS]
You know what I mean?
I feel like it may be a weakness
for me to go,
'I've got cerebral palsy,
and sometimes
that makes me
very sad'.
You touched on that
'You're not quite there yet'.
I don't think there has to be a point.
No.
That you get to.
Yeah.
It doesn't need to be. It's a constant thing
that you keep understanding and stay on top of.
Why don't you have some self care and you
you bugger off, sometimes? I go and play golf.
Just I'm get getting away for the day,
I want some time on my own.
Yeah. Yeah.
So that, when I do come back,
I'm in a good spot
for the people I wanna be in a good spot for.
Yeah.
Also, don't get me wrong,
you've still got work on your mental resilience
but you do that by having
conversations openly Yeah
and say 'I'm struggling' Yeah
'I need some help'. Yeah
And could you take my bins out?
Take your bins out?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, no worries.
Thank you.
[EXHALES LOUDLY]
Oh my God.
Yeah, I thought 'I'll wait for Joe'.
Yeah, no, you relax. Don't even look up. Don't worry.
Thank you. Yeah.
Guess who's
gonna wallpaper
that wall?
I'm hungry.
Please, can you feed me?
Here we are!
Why are you sat on the floor?
I went to Japan a couple of years ago.
It really stuck with me and I just really enjoyed it.
Wait!
No, no, you just, you, you just...
Oh come on!!
Come on, Joe!
We'll just have to... Just eat your dinner cautiously
To make it up to me.
I've got
one more job
It's something
a bit fun.
You can tickle some balls.
I want you to make me
a ball pit.
No
Please.
No. I'm done, I'm sorry.
I do have footage of you
punching
a disabled girl.
So either
you assemble me a ball pit
or that video
might find its way online
[WILHELM SCREAM SOUND EFFECT]
But she's smiling mate.
It's obvious I'm not punching her.
Well, no, I don't wanna risk it but...
After we've done that it's deleted?
Sure?
That wasn't, like, convincing in the slightest. [CREW LAUGH]
Couldn't have got an electric one, no?
This is amazing! [SCREAMS]
Get in!
[SHRIEKS WITH DELIGHT]
You need to grow up.
More!
Oh my God, it's gonna pop.
Yeah, all right.
I'll come back.
What a lovely day!
I think we should just get rid of the flat completely.
Yeah.
and just live in a bouncy castle.
Deal!
There you go, lovely.
Yeah!
Is it weird that we're two grown adults
in a bouncy castle full of balls?
What part of this
is weird?
