Original subtitles

It's the old version.

This is the one we need. Barbie!

? Hi Barbie ? Hi Ken

Try not to make a thirst trap there. ? ...sure Ken

Yeah, it's fine. This is a tune, lads.

All singing: ? I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world

? Life is plastic

? It's fantastic

? You can brush for hair, undress me everywhere

? Imagination, life is your creation. Come on, Barbie.

? Let's go party

I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world

? Life in plastic, it's fantastic

? You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere

? Imagination, life is your creation

? Oh, I'm having so much fun

? Well, Barbie, we're just getting started...

What do you think about why... This is a bad song.

Why is it...

Hold on.

Shush, shush, shush.

Just shush, shush, shush for one minute. It's a bit suss.

Let's discuss. Why is it a bad song to you?

It's for girls.

? Fontaines D.C. - "Boys in the Better Land" ?

Toughen up.

Be a man.

? You're not alive until you start kicking

? When the room is spinning and the words aren't sticking

You might have to get your teeth replaced. Imagine that.

New glasses, bro.

Boys, don't cry.

? And the radio's all about a runaway model

? With a face like sin and a heart like a James Joyce novel

(cheering)

? Saying sister, sister how I missed ya, missed ya

? Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister

You don't wanna be soft.

? But the boys in the better land

? You're always talking 'bout the boys in the better land

? The boys in the better land

? But the boys in the better land

? You're always talking about the boys in the better land

? The boys in the better land

Jesus.

??

Man up.

(cheering)

Come on the boy!

So it's Darragh Campbell,

this is the night before the start of a show for RT� that I'm on.

I'm feeling excited.

I'm nervous at the same time.

I'm also excited just to get the experience

and see the other people's outcomes and all,

and their ideas, and just have a good time.

Bye.

What's it like to be a young man in the world these days?

Ten young men from different backgrounds come together

to try and answer that question.

By taking part in different sports, these boys will try and understand

what's important to them as individuals and try to make sense

of their place in the world.

How would I describe myself?

Charlie is a really outgoing person.

Sometimes he's funny, sometimes he's not.

And, em...

Yeah, that's basically it.

??

At the beginning, it was like kinda weird

because none of us are talking to each other.

It was like awkward silence.

??

My name is Asher Hennessy, and I'm 13.

I'd say I'm kind, I'm sporty, I'm intelligent,

and I love to take part in new things.

??

(chatter)

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

What is your name? Jimmar.

Do you like sports?

What? Do you like sport?

Love them. Where are you from?

County Wexford.

I was a tiny bit nervous the night before, but on the way up,

I was just really excited to see what the people are like.

But the minute I came in here,

everything just went away and I was like,

I knew them since I was young, like tiny.

You alright Wexford? Ha? Wexford?

The Purple and Gold.

I've never heard the name Jimmar before.

It's really fun just getting to know different experiences from different

counties and everything

and have fun, make friends, get to meet new people.

Commentary: And now he's looking around for options.

Smith, Smith. Opens them up.

He's isolated, though.

Now the cavalry arrives.

Now they find some space on the outside and Conroy.

Oh, wow.

Does well.

He's got there.

Oh, that's the Jordan we know it loves.

This kid has wheels.

Conroy. Oh, yeah.

Nice to finally meet you, fellas.

Just to introduce myself, my name is Jordan Conray,

and what I do is I play professional sevens rugby,

and I've been playing it for seven years.

I made it to the Olympics in 2020 with Tokyo.

I get to play in the Paris Olympics.

We're going to be doing a lot of different things

with sports and activities.

We're going to actually have a little bit of a goal.

We're going to be playing a game of rounders

against a top team in Ireland.

I know, I know.

We're going to be trying... I see the faces, but don't worry about it.

I've never played rounders in my life either, and neither have ye,

but that's the beauty of it. We're going to learn together.

All right, fellas, since we got the introductions out of the way,

I'm going to send you to the dressing rooms to put on your bibs,

and we're going to get out in the field

and get started with a game of rounders.

You ready? All: Yeah.

Come on, get your bags.

We're on our way.

??

< Why rounders?

I think rounders is a very simple game.

It's a great team sport, and I feel like everyone can get involved

and have a part to play.

He's really nice.

I thought he'd be very awkward, if you get what I mean.

I didn't think he'd be so outgoing with us to start.

He's sound.

??

Let's bring it in here, lads.

We've got your own personalised bibs for the training week,

so find your name, lads.

Go on, put them on, try them on, and let's see how you look.

Good on ya. Yeah. Does it all fit? Yeah.

Not looking too bad, lads.

We're starting to look like a bit of a squad.

Here, what's the age group here, lads?

12 to 14.

12 to 14, right.

My question is to you, over the next two weeks,

what are you looking to get out of it,

or what are you expecting to get out of it?

Just having a bit of craic, really.

Meeting new people, playing around with us.

I mean, that's fun. That's it.

A big emphasis on this, lads, is having a lot of fun.

So there will be serious parts, but all in all, we're here together

to have a bit of craic, a bit of fun, and then just get the most out of it.

Go on, Charlie.

To make new friends and just have a laugh,

make memories that will last.

< I like to talk.

If you come with a big mouth, that's what you're born to do.

Worst case scenario, I don't have any fun.

Best case scenario, have great craic.

I'm gonna make sure you're going to have fun, fella.

And then last but not least, Darragh.

I'd probably just get to know new people, have a bit of fun.

Toughen up.

I was nervous if I just didn't really

like the guys that were on the show,

and mostly that I just make a fool myself.

I don't know why, I just had a feeling I would.

< Why did you think that, Darragh?

I don't know.

I just thought I'd get nervous from the cameras and whatnot

and just do something stupid.

Yeah, I've been showing him around.

I have a big camera, so I have a big bag.

All right, fellas.

So I brought in a little bit of help.

Shane, who's an all-star first-base player,

and he's going to help us to learn the game

and teach us how to play it properly.

It's a great sport for bonding and people coming from a lot

of different sports or different things.

You might not have been very sporty beforehand.

You might have been really into sports.

If you're playing hurling or the like that,

you might be really good at judging the ball,

or you might be good at seeing the ball come towards you at speed.

If you're playing in the infield,

you could be good at sprinting, running fast,

you could be good at hitting the ball.

There's a lot of different roles in a team

that need different skills and different things that help you.

So there's a spot for everybody, really.

We found out that our main sport is going to be rounders,

which is really cool because I actually

like playing rounders at school,

but everyone has different rules,

so everyone just ends up arguing over it anyway.

So it was really good to learn the proper rules off

the rounders coach Shane.

So underarm throw, back and forward with your right-hand starting off.

When we get that done, we're going to move on to our bad hand.

Same thing again, 10 throws back and forth.

< The first impression was so surprising because because I thought

having 10 lads come together, it would be a little bit awkward.

Everyone would be trying to feel each other out,

but they were just all chatting amongst themselves.

So it makes my job so much easier.

Well done, Cathal.

Two hands if you can, though. Nine.

Okay.

I start, the 24th of this month, a new school.

But overall, I'm really excited, but I'm also real nervous.

It's like starting primary school all over again.

Because when I was in sixth class, we were the big kids,

we were kids that could do this, that could do that.

But now when we go into first year,

it's basically like we're the little kids again.

Nice one. Great throw.

Well done, Charlie. Good throw.

Okay, when the ball gets back around, guys,

we're going to stop for a second.

I'm quite open with things.

I'll say anything really that is affecting me

and I'll say it to other people,

but I just have negative thoughts about myself, really.

So all we're focusing on for this one is

I want you to make sure you get yourself

to first base every time, okay?

? He tied the mark at forty-four. July the 1st, you know.

? Since then he's hit a good twelve more. Joltin' Joe DiMaggio...

Well, I live in the countryside in Wexford.

You have a bunch of privacy and everything,

and say if anyone's given you a hassle,

you don't have to worry about them.

Seeing them all the time, say if you live in town or a city,

that you see them around nearly all the time.

But in the countryside, at home, you just have some peace and quiet,

and you don't have to worry about any neighbours

or anything kinda bugging you.

So last one. He's going to run this time.

Go for the guard, let's get ready. Brilliant.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Great try.

He's running.

Home, home, home, home.

Yeah Hugo.

Go to Hugo there.

Well done. Well done.

We got to... Yeah.

So we got to meet everybody there.

They were all very nice.

We did rounders as well, which is really good.

And we found out that you have to beat the best team in Ireland,

which is going to be interesting.

??

??

Hi, my name's Patrick, and I'm 14 years old.

Yeah, I was quite nervous because I wasn't quite sure

what I was going to do or say.

And so I was overthinking it a bit.

At the beginning, you have to start a conversation with somebody.

You have to see, say, if they're drawing, you have to ask them

what they're drawing, and then eventually, that conversation

will lead to a bigger conversation.

And then you're eventually friends by the end of the day or the week.

It has happened very quickly.

It's very good.

There's no real awkward phase of meeting anybody.

< What would you say are the biggest pressures for

a young man of your age today?

To like...

be like... be a man, like...

do sport, like...

be in the popular group of friends,

be as perfect as you can, if you get me.

Grow up.

Sean is me.

Yeah, I don't like the interview.

You don't like the interview? No.

Why is that? Because I don't.

I don't want to be in the interview.

??

So throughout the series, I'm going to be bringing different people from

different sports to try and help inspire the lads to become

a rounders team before they play the all-Ireland champs.

So today, I'm bringing in a guest to show them the importance

of hand-eye coordination.

Yeah.

You are sneaky.

You know that?

Jordan's bad!

(cheering)

Come in around here, the table, lads, let me introduce him.

So this is Colin.

He's a Paralympian, an Olympian like myself,

and his sport is table tennis.

As you can see, lads, he's very good because he's ran me around the place.

And no, he's going to just teach us a bit about his story.

And he's trying to qualify for the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.

So take the stage. Hope I can join you.

We'll be on that plane together. I still have a bit of work to do.

But yeah, so thanks for having me today, lads.

My name is Colin Judge.

I was born with one arm and no legs.

I was the first one born in Ireland with my condition.

When I discovered table tennis, though, the success that I achieved

in table tennis translated directly into other areas in my life.

It made me realise that for all the things that I I couldn't do,

there was a lot that I could do.

It all really started with table tennis.

I started when I was 12.

I chose table tennis because it was the only sport

that I could beat my brother at.

Friendly competition.

Yeah, absolutely.

When you were in school, would you have got slagged for your disability?

It's a good question.

No is the short answer.

I was really, really lucky with being in St. Michael's.

I was in a really nice group, and I wasn't slagged or bullied.

But I suppose back then, in some ways,

I nearly wish that I was slagged a little bit because I felt left out in a way.

There was the banter and the slagging in the classroom, and sometimes

you nearly want to be involved and you want to throw a few deals.

If it comes from a good place, then you know.

If it comes from a good place, yeah, exactly.

There wasn't any bad bullying, to answer your question, but the teenage years

were the hardest times I had dealing with my disability because the only thing

the 13-year-old boy wants us to fit in.

When you've got one arm and no legs, it's a very difficult thing to do,

especially when everybody's playing rugby and you can't play rugby.

When I got involved in sport,

I started to get a lot more confidence in myself.

I was less self-conscious about my disability.

And this was my big goal, really.

When I first started sport,

it was to help me deal with my disability.

I started to train hard at table tennis.

I started to set goals for myself.

I started to reach those goals, and that helped me

boosts the relationship that I had with myself.

I found him very fascinating, if you get what I mean.

I find table tennis hard enough.

I just couldn't think of playing it with one limb.

I really couldn't.

Jimmar, I scored 2 of 60 against him.

??

No, it didn't.

That was good.

That was good.

He destroyed us all in table tennis.

Which like was awesome.

It was great to meet an Olympic athlete.

??

(laughs)

??

It's good.

Back in sixth and fifth class, I was quite bullied for my weight

and my overall appearance.

How did you deal with it?

Well, I just left primary school and never talked to them again, really.

There was not too much I could really do.

I was quite shy and nervous back in primary school, but I've recently

toughened up and gotten more confident about myself.

??

Everybody in the group is extremely different,

so I I'd say the makeup of the group.

I'd say we all have, I'd say, one common interest,

which is talking to each other and making friends,

which I'd say is a very big common interest.

So if you can start with it up like that and swing straight flat across, all right?

Eyes on the ball, fella.

Good hit.

Go, Tom. Good running.

Yeah, yeah. That's it.

Good stuff.

If we tag a base, guys, you don't have to go down with

the ball physically in your hand.

Once you put your foot on the mat and you're in control of the ball,

that's the same as tagging it, okay?

Okay, one second.

So remember what I said, it has to be inside the lines of the base, wasn't it?

So we call that a foul ball, okay?

So it landed in foul ground.

I think you can make it.

Did you hear that, guys, out there? He told me to focus.

Charlie, you heard that one, did you? Yeah.

So if it doesn't land inside the two base lines, it's foul, okay?

Such a messer. Right.

Yeah.

My mum would always say, Never leave anyone out.

And maybe first and second class, I started to be left out a bit more

because I was big into gaming and everything.

And in Wexford, hurling is fairly big.

And then in fourth class, I was like, "Right, I want to do hurling."

And then I just got into hurling and everything.

And now whenever I see anyone else left out,

I always make sure to include them and don't exclude them.

Say if they like different things to me,

I make sure just to forget about that and find things

that we both like instead of things that all of us don't like.

Boys don't cry.

Jacob.

That's it, lads. Brilliant pitch.

Perfect ball.

Sorry, they're just really, really good balls. They're all elite.

Dara, they're brilliant. Well done.

Jimmar is running and Jacob is running.

We don't want to let them in.

Get the ball back here, lads.

Quick.

Charlie, I'm looking at you as well.

There we go.

Brilliant. Go! Go, go, go!

Get it up and get it in here.

Get to the finish.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Charlie, home!

You're all good?

You're all good?

Charlie, you legend.

Well done, lads. Good stuff, brilliant.

Ya alright though?

Let me just check you.. Yeah.

Right, guys. Really good stuff, yeah?

You're all right? You're good?

It's fine. It happens.

That's what happens it.

Come on.

It's just one of the lads pass it to me to get a out

and it came down on my lip. It's grand.

Now you know why you wear helmets. Isn't that right?

Imagine if you're pitching and you're getting that full whack.

Wouldn't be happy with that. (laughs)

You might have to get your teeth replaced. Imagine that.

New glasses, as well.

Yeah, look, the lads overachieved what I was expecting for a first day out.

Darragh there, he was pitching as well as anybody I'd seen

someone come in and play in the air.

He was flying balls in.

Patrick as well was hitting balls out as far as a lot of senior players,

so he was driving it out, massive hits.

And then the rest of the lads, too, lots of them, they're really into it.

They're really keen to learn and they're pushing on really hard.

Good stuff. Well done, boys.

Well done. Good stuff.

(chatter)

Come on, boys.

We did rounders, and we were supposed to play that as an actual sport we're doing.

And we had Shane come in, and he was teaching us how to play rounders.

It's basically like a baseball, but just a little bit different, I think.

I think it went really, really well.

It really was over my expectations anyway.

I couldn't believe how well you got on.

You're doing the basics really well.

And with communication,

it'll come easier the more we get to know each other.

But yeah, I think that'll come naturally itself.

I think if we talk amongst ourselves in other times,

we'll talk on the pitch as well then.

So talk in between the break, saying,

"Right, if you get this ball, hit me that way."

Or just even becoming friends with each other, that type of thing,

to get to know each other.

Building a brotherhood and trust in each other.

That's what the team is about, really.

Three, two, one.

Go team.

This is Asher. Good day.

We got to do two different sports.

I got to meet new people, got make new friends,

and I'm really excited to see

what's going to happen in the next one.

See you guys tomorrow.

So today, I have some completely different planned for them

because I just want to see who thrives or who gives up.

I just want to teach him a little bit about that, that certain things

in your life you just can't get without a bit of practise.

I'm going to challenge him today and see how

do you fare with that one.

Legs first, back and then arms.

Just making sure.

Just look at your oars, Jordan.

Making sure they go in square. That's it.

I could feel myself getting a little bit frustrated with myself.

I know, I know.
