Here's the first question. If your career was a movie, which actor would you want to play you and what would the film's title be?

Ooh. I'd want the rock to play me and I'd want to be called Mighty Brighty. Oh, you've thought about that before. And I'd be like this crazy superhero and just like rescuing people and that'd be me, Mighty Brighty.

Love that. I'd watch it. I think it'd be pretty sick, wouldn't it? Have you actually thought about that before? Did you just come up with that? No, I just came up with that. Mighty Brady. That's so weird because I've literally just come up with mine

and I would want Adam Sandler to play me. I know he's a man. But he's like my favourite actor of all time. I think he's absolutely hilarious. Happy Gilmore's the best. My favourite movie in the world. The best. My favourite movie at the whole time.

Stepbrothers is incredible. No, Haffir Gilmore, I know every word off my heart. I could literally, I could literally be... Go on, give us a line. Give us a line. You boys are going to pay for that. Oh. The galsis, you crap and finish up on you.

Anyway. Anyway, that's a new career for us, move. Adam Sandler playing me, and I think I'd call it life's a movie. And what would it be about? Because I just think my life has been a bit of a movie. I've, like, dreamed about the life that I've lived. And I've had ups, I've had downs. I've had highs.

I've had lows. I've had funnies. I've had hard times. And I think, like, that's a movie, in it? That is a movie. So it'd be a bit of funny, a bit of rom-com, a bit of, of laugh, a bit of dark times, like a bit of it in your feels.

Talking about movies, have you seen the film? I swear. No. Right, if you do anything in the next week, go to the cinema and watch, I swear. It is the most amazing film. So it's about, it's a true story,

based on a true story, about a guy who has Tourette's. But it's like in, like, the olden days when Tourette's wasn't really a thing and, like, no one really knew how to, like, diagnose it and people just thought it was taking the piss and something that was wrong with him but they didn't know what

and he plays it so well he's a good actor he plays it so well but it has everything like it makes you laugh you've got like a laugh feel but yeah so so heartwarming

like it like I cried I laughed I was like oh I was like ha like it had everything but like so like the best film I've seen in a long long time

go see 100% I will watch that I will 100% recommend but anyway yeah million Rachel's movies coming out soon Keep your eyes.

Brighty and life's a movie. Right. Next question. If there was a blooper reel from your career, what's one moment that would definitely be in it? Stupid question. What am I going to say? Oh, the Euros.

The Euros against Spain. Del Castillo. Is that when you never got whiplas? Literally ended my career. Well played. Well played. And I'm watching her tonight. I've got two moments

when I lifted the FA cup and it dropped on my head and cut my eyebrow and when we beat Arsenal in the Conti Cup final when it was the Conti Cup and no one I can't believe there was no video of it

Bestie I was sprinting over to Beth in England to try and celebrate after she'd just scored like the last minute winner I tripped I tripped and I was scrolling on the floor

like scrambling to my feet and I looked around thinking I hope no one's seen you're in a fucking full stadium love of course somebody seen. Well, they weren't no video. It's me crawling like some freaking animal and

I like fully tripped and then I was just pissing myself like laughing. You're just laughing on your own. I was like, what a saddo? I looked ridiculous. I was so embarrassed. I'll pay if anyone can find me that clip. Yeah, if anyone can find it, honestly, I was so embarrassed. Good question. If you could

instantly master any skill that has nothing to do with football, what would it be and why? I just always want to do splits. and I've been trying to do it I've been trying to do it I don't think you'll ever be able to do it watch watch me if I have to break my pelvis to do it

I'll do it I'd just love to be able to do splits when people are dancing and they're like doing that and then they're just drop into splits and I'm like oh that I'd snap my legs yeah and it just looks so easy as well yeah I just want to be able to do splits

fair enough I would be in the trade industry like I'd want to like build a house or like I just want to learn You can do that go work with my dad for a week. Yeah, but instantly, I'm like, I have ideas in my head that I want to do and I'm like,

oh, I can't do it. Yeah. So, yeah, it'll be that. Yeah, it splits or dance. I'd love to be able to dance like Chris Brown. I would love to be able to dancing. Wow. Incredible.

Oh, God, he's unbelievable. Anyway, if you were forced to listen to one album on repeat for a 10-hour road trip, which one would you choose for survival? That's really hard because it depends on mood you're in, doesn't it? Do you know what? I don't think I'd have an album. I think I'd just put a... like 80s essentials.

Yeah, like, now that's what I call 80s. Yeah, now that's what I call 80s. Yeah, because I think you've got a little bit of everything. You can have a little bit of like, a little bit of a pop. How good was now? Like now 2000s or, yeah. I think that's what I'd pick. Now 2000s.

I love 80s, but I just think the 2000s will be like nostalgic. It'll just take me back to like my childhood. Right, this isn't a question on the thing, yeah. I'm just going to ask you it because I just thought about it. All right. What is your favourite Christmas? film. Elf.

I knew you were going to say that. Elf, I can't. I must have known that because I knew you were going to say that. Because, do you know what? I can picture myself dancing like when he's in mail room. That's me. That's me. I do like Elf.

But there's something about like cartoons or like non-reality that I just can't get on board with. Like you know how I don't watch like Disney films and stuff like that? Like the new Grinch, you know the Grinch? New one, no. The original Grinch is banging. The Grinch I just, I struggle with because I'm just a bit like... What, even the original one? Yeah, because it's just so cartoon-y. Oh, I love it. Watch that, Max.

That's it, I'm not going. Why do you think mine is? I'd say home alone. Which one? Oh, I don't know. So the first one is when he's lost at her. The first one. Come on! Come on!

Come on! Keep the chair of the animal. I love the first one, but I think the second one lost in New York because I was in New York and, like, just seeing the poor kid get stranded in New York, yeah, I just love the whole, like, story behind it. But I think three and four, what's the point? Don't do it. One and two is like gold dust. Every Christmas, every Christmas Eve, I watch Home Alone.

Right, guys, that is it for the first part. We will be back very soon. Don't go anywhere. Welcome back to Daily Brightness, Q&A episode. Right, I'm going first because I've got this one and it's really good. Yeah, I know exactly what you're going to ask. I know it. What's the most overrated and underrated biscuit?

Biscuit. I knew you're going to think that one. I'll be, wait, rich tea, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful. Yeah, but I don't think it's overrated. No, but I don't think it, though. I don't think it is. Hobnobbs. Overrated.

I agree. Two crumbullery. Overrated, people are other best biscuits. Hobbs of shit. All right, each to their own, each to their own, sure biscuit, but it's overrated. What I will say, underrated, chocolate malted milk. Do you know what I'm also going to say, though, just the original digestives. Yeah.

Fucking bang! No, but the chocolate, a chocolate malted milk is underrated, right? Because they're just the perfect size, like two bites. But I don't know, it's not perfect size because I'm about 10. I could eat whole digestion in one. I just, I, yeah, they're like up there with my favourite. I can't wait for the comments on this one

because I know all the hobnob lovers are going to be straight in on us. I don't like it. I'll tell you what I think is underrated. Custard cream. Yes. How do you eat it? No, but a custard cream in your coffee.

Dip that in your coffee, it's a game changer, not tea. How do you eat your custard cream? I just eat it normal. I bet you any money, you take a biscuit off. Eat the cream, eat the next biscuit. I knew it. She knows me too well. I just eat.

Bye, bye. it all the way down like a sarnie. If I were dipping it, I'd shove it all in but if I'm not dipping it, I bite it off. Yeah, of course the cream's... Do you know, I eat a jaffa cake as well? No, I bet you it's the same as me. I eat the biscuit, like the base off.

No, I nibble round the jelly peas, I bite the biscuit off, and then I suck the chocolate off. Okay, do you know how I eat it? Do you want to know why I eat it? I hold it like that, right? Chocolate in. I bite the biscuit off from my bottom teeth. Bight up through the biscuit base.

Right, so I've got the jelly and the chocolate and then I like peel each bit of chocolate off and I'm just left for the orange and then I'll suck the orange bit. But do you leave it on your tongue the orange bit and I'm like that? Yeah. Well, you were around, we were talking about this in the day, but you were around when Jaffa Cake, the advert. What's the Jaffircate advert? Let me see if you can think about what I'm thinking about. But I can't think of it.

Half moon. Half moon. Half moon. Total eclipse. Yeah. Now, when that advert was out, that's, that's... how I used to eat the Jaff cake and then when that disappeared then I started No but I've only ever eaten it that way

Oh I've just shoved it all in That's like a Kit Kat A Kit Kat I'll chew all the chocolate off the outside of the biscuit Break it now And then I'll go Who the hell has got time for that

Clearly me because you take a break Have a Kit Kat, take a break I agree though to be fair I don't know why I'm saying that Because I do that with Jaff Cake But anyway Exactly Right next question

What's a historical period You'd love to time travel to for a week and what's the first thing you'd do? I think I'd go back to, like, the war and, like, see what it was like in, like, air raid shelters. That's very, very good. They were, like, proper survival of the fitness. Like, they lived on rations.

Yeah. Nothing. Absolutely nothing but survived and got through it at, like, the darkest times, like, bombs, living underground. Like, I don't know. Yeah, I'd like to go in an air raid shelter. Like, knowing that I'd come out alive, obviously. But I'd like to go and, like, witness what they went through

because I think that's not talked about enough for me. I've always said I'm not for this generation. I've always said I would love to have been born when it's cobbly streets on the cobbles with the horse and cart. That's like Victorian times. I love the houses. Yeah, see, that's a very positive one. I think I went in like,

I just want to see how hard it was for people. But I'd also like to go back to the Roman times and I'd like to fight like a Roman. Yeah, and also... I'd be in my element best. that horse back, get me on it. No problem. I'd be swinging for days. I'd like to know how people live. And I think I'd love to know, like, go back to the time where people created roads and built roads. Yeah, like, it's fascinating. Yeah, I don't think I've gone in this area

of me. No, I should have been on the cobblestries with the horse and cart, or I should have been Roman fighting. I think we're just really old souls, aren't we? Yeah, I love it, though. I'm here for it. All right, go on. Last question, Besty. If you could have a magic remote control that could pause, rewind or fast forward time in your own life, which button would be most tempted to press and why? I've been most tempted to press fast forward. Really? But I never would. I think that's probably based on current events, isn't it? Yeah, I'd like to know what's coming. But then on the flip side, I'm like, I'd like to go back, but then I'd be scared to go back in case I change the future. I know if you could rewind 10 years, your next 10 years would

look different. But then that's scary. It's, yeah. It's... It's scary. If you had that opportunity, it's like crossroads, in it? Do you, don't you? I don't know. It's hard on that.

It feels this one, isn't it? Ooh! Yeah, because I know for a fact there's things that I'd change so I'm like, I'd definitely be rewinding but then I'd be like, holy shit,

I can do it, like. Rewind and you know why. If I had one opportunity to rewind to, I'd give you my rewind. Oh, that's cute. I would give anything to rewind and have some more moments

with my dad. And then I'd press pause forever. Just leave us in that place. Yeah, it's probably a good way to end the podcast there, isn't it? It is. Let's leave while we've got a lot of warmness in our hearts and souls. But guys, thank you for your question. They've been amazing. Yeah, really good ones.

Yeah, we hope you're loving the pod just as much as we are. We will see you soon. Take care of your people. Be kind. Send your love. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
