Before we get into today's episode of Daily Brightness, we just want to say a huge thank you to Shaw for helping bring our podcast to life. Obviously this is something that we've wanted to do for a while, teaming up with Goldhanger was an absolute no-brainer for us, but I think it's more just probably to get our points out there. I think like before Rach, it's about bringing Daily Brightness to life and I think when we first invented it, if you like, it was all about communicating with each other, having that safe space to kind of be a little bit vulnerable and just showing our raw authentic selves and I think for us the podcast is that and that's why I think we're extremely grateful for sure to give us that opportunity and kind of bringing it to life and allowing us to now you know have it on a

wider spectrum and connecting with the fans again but also some of the things in the women's game that really need to be better and the problems and boundaries that we still face and I think as players current players as well we can really touch on that and you know hopefully bring a little bit of attention but ultimately it's just about sharing who we are as people and yeah like I said we're really really grateful that Shora have given us this opportunity and supported us since day one. Obviously it's been been amazing that shore have backed us from the start and all the way through this now but exciting to have them be alongside us for this exciting summer of football and they'll be with us every step of the way so we're grateful for them to be alongside us sharing this journey as well

Rach, take us away. Perfect. So first question we've got from Jenny Johnson, obviously must be American because she says, have y'all. Can you do it in an American accent, please? Please. Not ready for that yet. I will do it one time because you know how good I am at accent. Have you ever taken a vacation together? Not football, just y'all. And a ladycation, she's called it. I'm going on a ladycation. I think we should book a ladycation, to be honest. I think we'd have a right laugh.

I do. We would. Ladycation, I love that. I've never heard of it. I like that. But we actually haven't. We've never been on holiday together, have we? No.

Where would we want to go? I'm not bothered. Somewhere in the sun. Somewhere in the sun. Something where we can explore. We can do like crazy adrenaline shit. Do you know what we want to do? One of those big blow-ups in the sea.

The massive inflatable... Oh, like total wipeout. Playground stuff. That's us. But no, we haven't, Jenny. We haven't taken a ladycation yet, but we will be doing. So keep your eyes peeled. We will be doing so keep your eyes peeled we will be doing we'll document it all right up next we've got rebel what is the best and worst present you've ever received you can take this away because i know you've got strong

thoughts about it i do actually best present i've ever received was my little, my mini motorbike when I was a kid. And my dad hid it behind a curtain. And he did that with my petrol scooter as well. As you can tell, as a kid, I was basically like a little adrenaline junkie. And I loved doing stuff like I wanted to be my dad, like I wanted to be a mini version of him. But I got this little bike. It was orange and blue. And it was like a little monkey bike. It was so cute. And my dad used to sit on the bike. It was orange and blue and it had like a, it was like a little, little monkey bike.

It was so cute. And my dad used to sit on the bike. It had massive chunky tires. It used to take me everywhere, like literally everywhere. I best present, I was like, like I was gobsmacked.

And the worst present, there's been quite a few actually. Do you know what it is? Worst present is one of those where people just buy for the sake of buying. Just don't buy anything. If you're not going to for the sake of buying. Just don't buy anything. If you're not going to put any thought into it, just don't buy anything. It's as simple as that. Yeah, I think I'm a bit like that.

Like if it's, I don't like presents that aren't, like haven't been thought out. And that I don't really need. Like if you want to buy me a present, ask me and I'll give you a suggestion, like some pants or certain body wash or whatever. But it's when people get stuff for the sake of doing it just like oh here's a present and it's a nice gesture but and then feel bad when i don't use it because i know i'm not going to use it yeah it's like people like re-gifters in it like oh i've just had some body wash so i'll give that to you yeah for my birthday i'll pass it on like

pajamas i don't wear pajamas i tell people all the time i don't wear pyjamas. I tell people all the time, I don't wear pyjamas. Don't get me pyjamas. I don't wear them. Stop buying them me. Okay, well, if you get them, can I have them? Because I love pyjamas. Yeah, I'll re-gift. Re-gift. Re-gift. Anyway, yeah, that's it.

That's all I've got to say. I've not been ungrateful. I just don't want you wasting your money when I'm not going to use your present. Sorry. Sorry. I'm going to have to really think about what I got you for your birthday this year.

No, Bessie, you always get the sickest presents. Right, next question. Best TV recommendations to binge watch? Ooh. Recently, I've barely watched anything because it's that period of the year where nothing good comes out. No. I'll tell you things that I have revisited, though.

Have you watched Dynasty? Is that how you say it off Netflixflix yeah that's quite good and i loved power by the way i loved power i loved watching that insane so good so that's one i would go back and watch again if that counts i always forget like i've got um loads i've watched like sabrina d'angelo on our team she has a notes in her phone of like anytime anyone recommends like what to watch. And yeah, like love series. And I've given so many recommendations,

but I can't think now. I can't think now what like I've watched recently. Oh, Emily in Paris. Love that. Definitely watching Clarkson's Farm 4. That's a good question. I've got loads of them, but I just can't think.

I need to like look at my Netflix and like... Okay, Annabelle, up next. If you had to be one animal for the day, what animal would you be? I'd be a fly. Fly? That's the most annoying thing ever. You just get slotted. No.

Hear me out. You get to go in everybody's house. You get to see everything. You can literally go everywhere. That would be the most annoying thing ever. Yeah in everybody's house. You get to see everything. You can literally go everywhere. That would be the most annoying thing ever. Yeah, that's me. I'm annoying. I'm your annoyance for life.

No, you'd be there with that electric bat. And I'd just be like this. I hate flies. Dexy tries to get them all the time. That's Elsa. You can't get them out the house though. So they're stuck. You're just buzzing around

Looking around nosy I want to see what everyone's got in the house What's your layout? What colours you got? Oh god no Just walk in front door I can't just go to the name of them Like

And you see in the videos and they're just like rolling around. Oh, it's so cute. I love that. But I would also love to be a dog as well because they literally live the best life. Like I was thinking about this yesterday. Eat, sleep. Like Dexy has nothing to worry about ever. She gets fed.

She gets watered. She gets walked. She gets so much love. Treats. She gets treats. treats like why wouldn't you want that what life oh i'd like to be an eagle i love being open like soaring above everyone yeah so you're a flyer i'm a flyer yeah i want to be at great heights soaring around that unbelievable eyesight okay then that was quite a good question then yeah that was cheers

Sorry for Millie's pronunciation, but a question from Flo. Go on,

hit me. Apologies, Flo, if I've said it wrong. What should be on a dream roast dinner? Right, I think this is a good question for me and you,

to be honest. We're like the perfect pair. What meat are you choosing? Turkey. Oh. Or beef, but I get funny with beef. That to me is Or beef, but I get funny with beef. That, to me, is the worst meat. I get funny with beef.

I'm scared of choking on it. Okay, well, mine's lamb. I can't do lamb. It stinks. I can't. Any meat apart from turkey I'd pick, to be fair. Right, roast potatoes. Oh, I'm a fatty.

I have roast and mash. Yeah, I know, but I'm getting there. Oh, right, okay. Roasters. Roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding. I'm a fatty I have roast and mash yeah I know I'm getting there oh right okay roasties roast potatoes mashed potatoes Yorkshire pudding how many?

as many as you want I'd have cauliflower cheese in mine yes peas I like peas peas or carrots love peas yeah either or

I'm not really fussed about the veggies don't pack it with loads of veggies I'd rather have the meat in them no stuffing gotta have stuffing yeah and the thickest gravy you can imagine thick gravy and alright do you have mint sauce Just don't pack it with loads of veg. I'd rather have the meat in them. No, stuffing. Got to have stuffing. Yeah.

And the thickest gravy you could imagine. Thick gravy and, all right, do you have mint sauce or do you have cranberry sauce? Well, I'd have mint because I'm having lamb. You'd have cranberry because you have turkey. I have cranberry because I'm having turkey, but also I love cranberry sauce on my roast potatoes. My mouth's watering so bad. I'm starving.

So nice. I'm not starving. That's dramatic. Do either of you have any party tricks? Absolutely. I did it at the Euros final. You have two, to be fair. What?

Your accents are a joke. And I wish I still had that video that I did on Snapchat where you were doing, I was just reeling them off. I was like, Irish, go. Scottish, go. Scouts, go. Da-da-da-da. She was just like, bosh, bosh, bosh, bosh, bosh.

Like, smashed it out of the park. Like, it was so sick. Come on, let me just give you three. Yeah, you love that. Can you just do it real quick? No, not yet. I need to just warm into it. Right.

Well, Rach is sick at doing accents, so I thought you was going to say that. I will do it in the next few podcasts. I'll do it. All right. Well, mine's the worm. I can do the worm. Yeah, you're good at that that what's my other one? your pen

oh the pen thing what you wind me up with and you go just do this it's so simple no it's not I can't do it my pen ends up

every real time with a knife I'd be like can you do this? yeah and then my knife would be flying all over hitting people I'd be like

oh god sorry sorry about that all year is a ding ding ding a million year trying to practice Rachel's trick yeah we have got party tricks actually yes

so we do alright to be fair this is from B if you could only eat food from one country for the rest of your life

which country would it be that's a toughie right I love this question right because obviously I love like

every sort of cuisine, yeah? Like, I like to think strategically with this answer, so I'm going to say British food. Oh, my God. Because. Snap. You can have everything. I think it's so. British food, you can have everything.

Exactly, so you can have full English, you can have eggs, beans on toast for breakfast, lunch, you could have jacket potatoes sandwiches literally a little brunch you know you've got pie shepherd's pie yeah i'm i'm here for it let's just stop all the listeners already getting antsy about it saying english food's not good enough the quality did it yeah listen other countries are a lot better maybe at the quality of food the question, for the rest of your life, what would you have? We would have British because there's more variety and we can survive longer. It's very versatile English food, isn't it?

Right. This one is from Zara. If you could live in a TV show or film, which one would it be? Guess. I've got two. I've got two. I've got two. I've got two that I'd live in.

I'd live in Jurassic World. Because I want to go and see dinosaurs. Oh, for God's sake. Or Aquaman because I'm a water baby and I love the sea. I would pick Friends because... You'd be good on Friends. I love New York City. Every single person in there makes me laugh.

My favourite TV show and just non-stop laughter for me. So that's what it's all about. That's fair enough. Fair enough. And on that note, that is our final question of the day. That is. Thanks, everyone, for your questions. We've absolutely loved it.
