00:00I would like to welcome to the stage, Peter, the plum, love.
00:07Thanks for coming.
00:10All hail the king of granola.
00:12Cheers.
00:13Shaggy, shaggy, shaggy.
00:15He needs to finish school.
00:17Says who?
00:18Oli, me.
00:19Oliver is Gavin's stepdad and he's a doctor.
00:22And I am Gavin's dad-dad and just like me, the kid's going to play football.
00:25Here's to Gavin's big final tomorrow.
00:28Right now, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
00:31Mum, are you alright?
00:33Mum!
00:35Have you told her about your seizure?
00:37No.
00:38Because that's what you had?
00:39I had a moment and I haven't had one since.
00:40Do you think it's okay?
00:42No.
00:43I don't want to meet new people or do new things because I might not remember stuff.
00:48You've probably got friends out there with the same kind of symptoms and no one is admitting to it.
00:53What's happening to these men in their 50s is a direct result of all the concussions they had in their 20s.
00:58The evidence is inconclusive.
01:00If Plum has CTE, he needs to be addressing it.
01:03He's not your patient.
01:04He doesn't even like you.
01:06Oh yeah, I'm Plum. I'm the big man. Oh yeah.
01:09How are you, Charmaine? Good? Yeah.
01:12One, two, hook right in.
01:15Won't you win, Gavin? Okay.
01:19I've learnt that we are one big, bloody family.
01:24All this shit swirling around, I know it's got to be hard, so I feel for you.
01:27I enjoy these man-to-mans we have sometimes.
01:30It is not a death sentence, Plum. It's just 50% of the hands you've been dealt.
01:34I've been writing things down. My brain likes it.
01:38Tell your brain what to do.
01:39Plum!
01:40Tell it to win.
01:41See you, Plum.
01:42Drink our first ever beer in that ditch, warm as piss.
01:46My brain is on fire.
