The Rest Is Football: Daly Brightness - A New Xbox Obsession And “A Would Rather” Special

Episode Date: December 4, 2025

Millie and Rach have begun their gaming journey. After a slow start on the tech side they’re up and running, but the question is, will they become the next big thing in streaming? Also in today���s episode, the listeners have sent in some mad “would you rathers…”. Would Millie and Rach prefer to live on the moon or under water? Would they rather be a living room or a kitchen? And how would they cope never winning a football match again? The “would you rathers” get even more challenging - would you rather not be able to taste or not be able to see colours? And would you prefer to know how you die, or when? Thanks Amelia… British Gas is proud partner of the Barclays Women’s Super League and The Rest Is Football Daily Brightness.

It is Would You Rather? Our favourites. Before we go on, we're going to have a little chat about mine and Millie's current hobby, which is gaming. We have actually started the process. You'll be pleased to know. The one thing I will say is I'm glad that my microphone and headset work better on the podcast than it does on my Xbox because that was a palaver.

I actually was talking to the television yesterday because Millie was talking and I thought, oh, she's there. So I went close to the telly and started talking to the telly, not realizing that you couldn't do that. Then she's like, well, I can hear you, but I need to put. my headset on so she's voice noting me whilst I'm told so she can hear everything and she's like I can hear you just talking to your Xbox oh my god it was so funny and it took 20 minutes to get her headset set up by the way it's not the easiest thing in a world anyone out there that says it is

it's not do a tutorial then help huds please and then i couldn't do the settings could have the volume so i was cool i could hear it was like pukukkvoo kuhk could hear milly telling me where the baddies were louis like it's saying like whatever red dot you see in front of you above the person that's what you need to kill then she was like Like, I need to sit, I think, I think that's it. I need to sit closer to the TV. Apologies to our teammates. Don't know where you were in the world, but.

Luca 5317, I'm sorry. Yeah, Luca, I've spawned on you about 50,000 times, mate. So cheers for that. But yeah, we have begun our gaming journey. We have. It's going to be exciting. You're going to be streaming soon. You watch.

Black Angry Ginge. Anyway, first question we've got. Let's go. It's from Paul. And he says, would you rather live in a city on the moon? or a city deep underwater. You know my answer and I know your answer. I'm deep underwater me.

I knew you would be and I'd be on me. I'm a lot of baby. I'm basically Aquaman. I've always said that if I could play one role in the movie I'd play Aquaman. I love the sea, I love water. I want to be on the moon, high on life, above everyone. Oh yeah, you're above everyone all right.

Yeah, you're below everyone. I don't think our headset would read from the moon under the water, but... Right, so yeah, we're a little bit... bit opposite on that one, but I'm definitely a water baby. On holiday, you won't catch me anywhere else. I'm always in the water. I also love the moon. Right. Next, Ava, would you rather be a living room or a kitchen? Now I'm sure how I'd want to spin this one. That's hard because I'm thinking, in a kitchen, I love food. So I'd love the joy of, like, people like making good meals. But then

flip it, the living room is where all your family get together and your friends and you have cozy nights and then I think a Christmas and doing presents I think I'd rather be a living room with the way

Rachel's living room looks I want to be hers specifically but I'd be getting moved around every week yeah

there's only so much moving around you can do in a kitchen so I think I'd rather be a living room yeah living room right

next question would you rather lose every game you play or never play football again never play football again

I don't like losing I don't like losing it's depressing I'm a sore loser yeah I don't want anyone to talk to me and my family know exactly what to do. Don't even, just don't look at me. Just leave me alone. It doesn't happen too often for you though, does it?

Yeah, but when it does, bestie, they're big ones. I hate losing. I hate losing anything. Anything. When I was younger, you know, remember the game, frustration? No. You do. You've all got a colour. So there's like four people that can play like red, blue, yellow, green. And you've got to work your way around and then get home. Well, you pop the dice in the middle.

As soon as my brother or my mum or anyone was going to win, I took the border up. I'd flip table, monopoly. I'd flip the board up. If I'm not winning, then you're not. Right, next one. Would you rather have gloves on your feet all the time or shoes on your hands all the time? Gloves on my feet?

I'd love that. Keep my feet warm. I'd absolutely love gloves on my feet. Oye, did you ever used to wear them socks? My mum used to buy me all the time where it's individual on your toes. No, Lucy Parker wears them. Maya, our player from Japan, she has them as well.

And I always look at them and I think they look so funny. But I used to have them as a kid. My mum used to get in me. Yeah, I've never had them. They make my, they squeak and that, uh, that gives me goosebumps. Can't do that. They're playing theirs. I couldn't, I couldn't do it.

But I would rather have gloves on my feet than shoes on my hands. Would you rather speak every language in the whole world or speak to animals? Speak to animals. I mean, to be fair, I do speak to animals. They just talk to speak back. Bood, actually. Yeah, and it talk up a little bit. But I do think it'd be pretty cool to, I've always said this, it fascinates me when people can speak like multiple languages, but nothing can come above.

If I could communicate my animals, my God, my life would be a lot easier. How good would it be like, oh, Louis, why have you just been sick? What's the matter? Yeah, imagine the last week I've just had with Zeus. I could have just asked him years ago. I always go, tell Mummy, what's wrong? What's wrong? Give me a sign. Point to where the pain is, darling. Also, you could have like just such good chats. Right, what's next? Would you rather be able to shoot jelly beans out of your hands? I thought I was going to say something else then, or tiny footballs.

I just had visions of someone like farting jelly beans. I thought it said out your belly button because it said jelly beans. I actually don't know how to answer this question. I think I'd probably say jelly beans so that like you can just be like when someone's start over there, you'd be like, catch it. Oh, it gives one. Oh, but football's be quite cool, go ahead and eat. Yeah, but at least you can eat jelly beans.

Yeah, I think jelly beans. Oh, a random question. Who thinks of these? That's a good, would you rather, um, jelly beans, because if you need a snack, you could just bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, blah. Right. Would you rather sneeze glitter or cough bubbles? Cough bubbles would be so funny.

Oh, not with, wait, I've been coughing lately. Bubbles, darling. I'd rather sneeze glitter because I think you're sniff, sneeze less than your cough. Like, even if you have a bit of food, stuck your cough. Yeah, good. Bubbles.

We should come flying out. Be right now? Is that not annoy you? No, it'd be fun. I'd sneeze clear. Right, guys, we're going to take a quick break so far. They have been amazing. We'll be right back.

Especially when they've helped make it the giant it is today. Don't forget, they ended up being the biggest ever commercial investors in UK women's sport when they start sponsoring the Barclays Women's Super League. But it's not all about the big leagues because there's no football without grassroots football. let's talk about how important the support of grassroots football is. How does it help young stars develop? Oh, I think having the right facilities, I think having the right investment, I don't think you should have to wait to be a professional or at a certain age to experience proper facilities, safe environments. Not only is it just football, it

creates a community, it creates a safe space for kids to play football and want to start. You know, everyone starts at a certain level and without grassroots football, there'd be no chance of even going pro. It's why Barclays has invested millions into grassroots programs and community initiatives to give opportunities in football to those who need it most. Search Barclays football to find out more. We are back. Second part of the Would You Rather's? Here we go. Would you rather not be able to taste or not be able to see colours? Oh my God, that is extremely difficult. That's not a very nice question That's not very nice at all

Amelia That's horrible actually That's extremely difficult I really like colours And imagine at Christmas You're doing your tree You don't even know what's on it Yeah

But I also couldn't imagine Not been able to taste But colours make me quite happy Colours do make me happy But I think Not been able to taste Sounds awful Like you know when you had COVID

You couldn't taste I hated that My guilty pleasure is After a game Having a can of phanta that first tape. Oh my God. I'd rather not be able to see colours.

Well, I wouldn't, but I'm going to have to choose it, aren't I? Yeah, I would choose that just because I just, the thought of not be able to taste. Oh, that's miserable. Either one's miserable. Good one, Amelia. Good one. It's quite good that you actually don't have to really pick in real life. Thank God.

Right. One for Millie, would you rather never see Rachel again or play for Arsenal? Well, nothing competes with my best, so I'd have to suck it up, on I? But as all the Arsenal fans say, we won't want you anywhere? Don't worry, pal. I'm not coming. I'd do anything to keep Rachel in my life. Cute. Would you rather know how you die or when you die? Oh my God, we just took a real turn. Amelia again. She's nasty. What's she doing?

I think I'd rather know when, yeah. Because why if someone said, oh, you're going to die in a car crash? We'd be scared to get in a car. I'd rather just know when, and then you can live life at max. Like, just do what you want. Yeah, like if it's tomorrow, at least I know. Yeah, I'd rather know when. If it's like a really gruesome death, you're like eating alive by like snakes or something or like a plane crash or something like that. I don't want to talk about that anyway. Moving on. Next one.

Would you rather eat a whole jar of mayonnaise or eat a whole loaf of dry bread in one sitting? Oh, a whole loaf of dry bread. I love dry bread. Who the hell is eating a jar of mayonnaise? It is spooed in out, mayo. I couldn't even do a spoonful. Vile. Would you rather have to over? Only listen to Christmas songs or only watch Christmas films.

I think I'd say only listen to Christmas songs. I've been listening to them since like the first week in November. That I love them. I think like they're like quite nostalgic. Like they always take like each Christmas song takes me back to a place of somewhere when I was a kid. Yeah, music all day. Would you rather always have to sing everything you say or always have to speak by rhyming? Sing everything I say.

I'd tell you, it would be well hard. Yeah, I'm not really good at rhyming. It takes too long for me. to think about it so I'd sing well I'd try anyway well then uh read the next question out singing oh I'm getting a bit shy now ha jokes all right I'm getting stage right would you rather give up your phone for a year or give up eating sugar for a year see that a little bit of singing a little bit of rap Thanks, bestie. And bear in mind, I am ill, guys. Round of applause for Lady Marmalade.

Yeah. If you want me to sing, I'll do Lady Lama, Lady Lama. That's the new one. I'd say it in sugar just because my phone, like, it's how I keep in contact with my people, you know? I was just about to say when we've come off social media for, and only used our phones to, like, contact home, it's been the best thing ever. So, yeah, this day and age, I'd freaking throw it in the river. get away from me, but I would only give up my phone if my family and friends were in one house. Maybe we should, maybe we should just get like a Nokia.

Oh, the snake game. Remember the snake game? We're sick. Nokia 3210. This is a good debate. I think phones have become a real problem these days and I've seen it because so much disconnect. Like you're in like you go out for a meal and people just sit on the phones or you're sitting in your house. Everyone's just on the phones or you go out and people are on the phones and I'm like, hello? I definitely used to do this, especially when I was younger,

because it's like, but now I think back to it, why all those times that I wasn't present? Because I was like engaging in something else. And also now it's so unnecessary. Like social media and you get down that rabbit hole. Well, these are just strangers. They're literally people like spending time and being present with the people

that you meant to love and care about and that are there or scrolling on TikTok and Instagram and that. And it is like a guilty pleasure and I know people say it helps them switch off. But for me, phones are like the biggest disconnect like relationships, friendships, friendships, family situations. It is hard because when you think about it, right,

my car is controlled by my phone. Yeah. So like if my phone's dead and I don't have my key, I can't get in. Yeah. When I've like left my phone sometimes before, I'm like, oh, it's so nice. And I'm like, I feel lost.

I do get it and it is just this day and age, but I just think it's such, it's so refreshing just to like reset and be like, okay, next time I do this, like I'm going to be present, I'm going to leave my phone in my bag. I'm not going to take it out. Take a couple of pictures or whatever

because I love having memories to look back on. But I do think when you just sat there and then you look around and I'm like, holy shit, everyone's just on their phones. Like, what are we doing? Then before you know what you're saying goodbye and... Let's get a knock here. All right.

I'm game for that. So, but the answer to that, I think I still would give up eating sugar because that's a good thing to give up. Yeah, I need to be able to ring Mama B every day. I need to speak to family. Yeah, exactly. Right, last question.

Sing it then. No. Would you rather be an amazing singer? Would you rather be an amazing singer but only when you're alone or a terrible singer but have the confidence to perform on stage any time? That's literally me. I was just going to say the second one's us anyway. So terrible singing, I have the confidence to perform on stage any time. Not bothered. Trafalgar Square, 2022, baby. We've already performed on a big stage in front of thousands of people. Like, we've got our concerts coming out soon. Tour dates coming to you soon. 2026, DB on tour. But I would like to be able to sing on my own really well. I think, the thing is, I think I can. So, yeah.

Not being funny, Christina, but watch it. Yeah, guys, thank you so much for your Woodgeravours. They have been amazing. God, you just keep setting the bar higher and higher, but we absolutely love these episodes. They're our favourites. Keep sending you questions, and we will see you very soon. Bye.

Bye. Thank you.
