We haven't done one of these for a while because we've had a couple of special guests, which like Millie touched on in our previous episode, but there will be more to come.

But we thought we'd break it up this week and dive into a Q&A. So let's get straight into it. The first one is from Lottie, and she said, what's your favourite meal to have in your off-season? I think you'd have to say something like unhealthy because you don't always have it during the season. Yeah, but I'm not going to sit here and lie

and say I don't have cheat days because I do. No, of course not. And to be honest, actually, I actually genuinely think I'm more healthy. Like, I like healthy in the off-season. Because in the summer. So it's more like salad season and stuff like that and you want like fruit in the sun

Yes You know I'd say Just a good barbecue Like I love barbecue food Like I love a lot of meat Like I just want meat meat meat meat Last summer I did so many barbecues Honestly

Yeah And I don't even think that's like I'd have that in season No it's not unhealthy It's not really possible But in the summer Yeah give me a big fat juice And barbecue

Barbecue Come to 9 for barbecue this summer please Right Would you rather Oh, I've missed these best it. Would you rather be chased by a lion or a bear? God. Chance of survival?

2%. I reckon a lion would be quicker. I'm going to say a bear because if it's a big bear, I don't think they climb trees that high and I'd just be whipping up there like Tarzan. I don't think they'll run as fast, but I don't know. I've never actually seen a bear run. I don't know.

I did see a video earlier though on Instagram of a bear and this lady were like, it was scratching its neck against the side of their, like, house. I think they're obviously like, I don't know where it were. And then it stood up and when it were like on all fours, it didn't look that big. And Bessie, this bear stood up and now, she went, holy shit. Yeah, but I see stuff like this yet, and I'm like,

I don't know what's real and what's not anymore with bloody AI. I think bears are pretty big. But I'd back myself against a bear, not a lion. Yeah, I'm probably, I'm picking a bear every lion. Yeah, bear, let's go for a bear. I mean, probably still getting slashed to pieces of them. I know, I think it's like the best of a bad bunch really. lesser of two evil on that one

Cheers for that Hannah We're not to survive either Next one When it's a packed stadium Can you actually hear the manager shouting? Nope Nope Nope

Didn't think so Moving on Do you believe in love at first sight No Best the X band Like how Right How could you

Like if you just look at someone Go Oh yeah That is the love of my life. How do you know? You don't know anything about them? Do you know what's really sad is I thought you were my best friend when I looked at you and you didn't even say that about me?

Yeah, but that's different. I'm talking about being in love with somebody. I'm joking. How can you quantify the amount of love that you're going to have for a person? I don't believe in love at first sight. Oh yeah, you're a bit of all right. I'm going to fall in love with you. I think it's a load of crap.

I honestly don't believe it because I just think to be able to truly love something, you've got to know them inside and out. You've got to know the deep. Right, I've got a question for you. A spin-off. Love is blind, yeah? What do you think about it? Like, what do you think?

Listen, I do think it forces people to get to know people and develop an emotional connection. But, but I still think you need to be paired to someone that is your type. Because if you're not sexually attracted to someone, it's game over, mate. You know, when you're watching it,

do you know, I think like, ooh, I don't think they're going to like each other. Like, it's so bad. I do. I do because also people have types. That's a fact that you have. have a time. I don't know. Okay, spit off on this then. Do you agree with people that say, oh, I'm all about personalities? Come on. You've got to look at someone and be like, oh,

I 100% agree with you. Like, I think you have to be attracted to someone. However, what I would say about love is blind is obviously they're on there for a reason. They've gone for their usual type all the time and it's not but. So it's like, try something different. But I just find it like, how could you talk to a wall and fall in love? I'm just, it baffles me. I don't know. I think... Maybe you could. Like, I don't know. Maybe you could. Like, I guess it's one of those things that you don't knock it until you try it, but... All right, which couples that have come off of love blind have lasted? Yeah, I don't know.

If anyone's got the statistics, please let me know. But I think that's equally because, like, what you're doing getting married after like two weeks. Yeah. Weird. Anyway, we could go on about these TVs for ages. But yeah, anyway, love at first, like, meh. No. All right, next question from Meg's.

What is the thing you're looking forward to most this? year. Spending some goddamn time with my best friend in off-season. Yeah, boy. Honestly, I'm looking forward to some sleepovers and actually just, like, just doing non-footbally things. I think, like, having a proper off-season for you

because, obviously, last year... I ain't had one. I've not been on holiday in three years. Please. No, like, last year, you spent a lot of time, like, rehabbing, you were injured. It was obviously your first year out of England set up. Like, I think this is your first proper, like...

Too much. I'm looking forward to a milly summer. Nice. That's what I'm looking forward to. What about you? Hot girl summer. Hot girl summer, baby. God, it's only just bloody started, I don't know.

Yeah, probably, yeah, I think. You getting your extension finished. I can't wait to see these transformation pictures. Yeah, true. That's something that I am looking forward to. Let's go with a short term one. That. Ava, if you lived together, what would be the first thing you'd do?

We'd probably push our beds together and just mess around. Probably buy a mute button for you. Yeah. No. Excuse me. I'm joking. We'd probably be doing like a TikTok dance or playing. What was that thing we used to play?

Just dance. Yeah, probably just do something stupid or have a beer. Oh, we'd definitely be having good food. You might have a little Guinness and a pie and a chips. Yeah. I don't know, actually, not really thought about that, but yeah, it'd probably be something like most people would think we wouldn't do. Something stupid.

All right, I'm flipping it to the fans. If me and Rachel live together, list five things you think we'd do straight away in the first day. get back to us. Right. Next question. If you were in the supermarket together and you got split up,

which are you look for them first? Sweets for you. You'd be in the sweets aisle. For you, I'd probably go cleaning aisle. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Or we don't actually do that.

We just go, Raid! Bestie! You know, when I was younger yet, I lost my dad in ASDA. I couldn't find him and I was like panicking because I was at that age where you were like young

that you, if you can't find them, you're in a panic. And he used to sneeze so loud, my dad, like, really loud. And I found him because he sneezed in. I was like, there he is, I heard him. I was telling him, I was like, I've lost my dad, I've lost my dad, I've lost my dad, I've lost. Oh, that's such a good memory to have.

A little secret, this is an embarrassing mom. When we were kids, me and my sister's, mom used to drag us every Monday now. You used to have to go to Morrison and freaking hate it. Hold on to the trolley. And we used to then come up with this game that we'd, we'd, certainly the way I'd go. I used to make a pick me up. It were always toilet aisle, and we'd sit there and we'd pretend to be stuff like you'd buy off at the shelf. I'd be like, pick me, mom, pick me, buy me.

And she'd come over and drag you out, like, yep, put her in a basket then. That's what we used to do the whole way around. Like, we'd just get on the shelves. Like, we like, the kids like sitting on the shelf. I'm sitting in the toilet rolls on the shelf like this. Like, mom, pick me. Idiot. What is wrong with us? Oh, next question. Oh, I like this. This could be a, this is a possibility as well. Your bestie calls and says they've been arrested. what would you assume it was for?

And equally, can I just say, we're both likely to be arrested? We're the same when it comes and stuff like this. All right, I've been arrested. Bestie, I've been arrested. Help. I'd say you got into like a bar fight. Yeah, I'm not backing down to no one.

No, but like I think like you'd do it in defence with like, your family or your friends, like you'd be. Do you remember your 30th? Yeah. Should you tell the story? We were talking about that the other day. Should you tell it? Yeah, go on.

Right. And listen, I'm not a hooligan. I just want to put that out there. But if you harm my friends or my family, I'm coming for you. I'm not, I don't fear no one. So it's Middle 30th. We've got this nice little surprise, 30th party. We're down, like we're in this bar.

We've got like the lower section. You have to like walk, like a slight decline, I'd say, to the lower section. And anyway, I'm, imagine the bar's here. Rachel's facing me and I'm looking up towards the bar. And I'm stood there. and I see this fellow and his missus and he keeps looking down all the time and so I'm like, you're looking at

like, keep staring. And I don't like people that stare because I'm like, hi, like, do you want anything? And then he came down and I said, sorry, mate, it's a private function, you're going to have to leave. He did it again and I said, sorry, mate, I've told you twice now, you're going to have to leave, like, it's a private function. Thank God for AJ on this night

by the way, that's my best friend. Thank God for a lot of people. Anyway, out of nowhere, me and Rachel chatting, this glass just smashes literally right beside raked right in front of me glass shatters everywhere I better tell you my dad rough like a whip it luckily he had his as he says look he had my party shoes and I slipped I remember your sister running after him and just like jumped on him like grabbed him like a bear to try and pull him back and he just didn't move literally but I just think one totally unnecessary behaviour like you just launched a glass at two women that

literally could have hit me in the face and it shattered right beside you. So what I'm pissed at... I was like... Yeah, it's smashed next to you so I'm fuming and secondly I knew you're trying to cause trouble because you've come down twice.

Anyway, everyone just were off like whip it it's like nearly pulled the damn hamstring but yeah, that was people just love to try and get reactions but yeah, I'm not... That actually sounded like the glass smashing at my throat yeah, that was literally an example but I don't like stuff like that

but equally if you put my first, friends and family in danger then Mike Tyson's coming out well what do you think I'd get arrested for oh I'm a good citizen me and Rachel like fire and ice yeah I'm the fire Rachel's the ice and she like sometimes I heat her up

and sometimes she soos me to be fair though I can be very fiery so I don't actually yeah I was gonna say there's probably only me that's seen that fiery side remember that night out in Leeds I'm not telling that story right on that note I'm gonna take quick break and we'll be back shortly.

Welcome back guys. Second part of the questions. Here we go. But before we start the questions, Millie, what did you think of the Super Bowl and the halftime show? Yeah, I did watch the Super Bowl. I watched the whole thing actually.

That's nuts. It sounds so late. I know. Well, I only had three hours late in. Do you know what yesterday? You want to know why? I didn't sleep because I was in so much pain. Well, if I actually wore my

Bill's hoodie yesterday just because I was like angry that we weren't in it. It didn't feel right. Chief's not been in it though. I didn't want to stay up because I wasn't right a fuss about Seahawks

against Patriots. It was a bit of a different a bit of a different Super Bowl to be honest because Seahawks were just dead defensive and I think it's something that they've been amazing at like super defensive just completely

shut teams down and that is literally what they did like it's such a low scoring like Super Bowl it wasn't really it was pretty much one-sided but it was still good to watch like atmosphere sick

we have to go to Super Bowl it's on our list I have to go. I can't afford one. It's so expensive. Best thing we'll figure it out. I'll start to go for me. If it's the last thing we do, we have to go to Super Bowl. Half-time performance.

The next one, we are going. Yeah, maybe it's, maybe, if there is ever a moment when it's Bill's v. Chiefs, we're going. Chiefs, baby. No, you just suck this year. Right, anyway, back into the questions. Let's go. Ooh, one pillow or two pillows when you sleep. One, two, and I have it in a shift.

shape of V. Oh, you're weird, man. Excuse me? I start with two pillows while I'm watching Telly and I'm drifting off and then I slide the bottom one out. No, see, I can't sleep flat and everyone says, oh it's bad for your neck.

No, it's bad for my sleep if I don't have two. I have to put them like this and then I just go right in the middle. Do you know I used to do that as a kid though when I was really poorly with my asthma and my hooping cough? That's why it's always like, maybe it's like a comfort thing. Maybe it's not even anything to do with sleep.

I just like it. My mum bought me this like V-shaped pillar. I think you can get it for like when you're pregnant that as well. I think I know what you mean. Do you know what I mean? But yeah, I had that as a kid when I was really poorly. But yeah, two pillars all day. What's a weird food combo you like?

I don't know if it's weird, but if I'm ever going back home to my nans, I like a ham sandwich and I like it with ketchup and chrisson. That is weird, but I would be very open to try it. Soil and vinegar. It has to be walkers already salted. Salt and vinegar already salted. Ham, butter. on both sides of the bread, ketchup, banging.

I'll have to try it when I come up to your nand. Yeah. Granny Margaret, Rachel's coming up. She wants a ham sandwich. Neckos her ham buttery, granny. What's my weird food combo? I think, like, I could come back to you next week and think of loads because I do have, like, a lot of them, but I just can't think right now.

You can tag us, you can do a post whenever you feel like you're going to have one of their moments, tag us. You know, like, when people say chips and gravy, could you have cheesy chips and gravy? Yeah. Yeah. I think people think that's weird, but banging. I do cheesy mashed potatoes sometimes. Yeah, banging. When I'm, like, whisking it, I'll put cheese in the potato.

It's cheesy mash. Banging. And then I'd still put gravy on for that. So good. Absolutely. I'll have a thing, but there is loads, because I always think to myself, like, I bet people think I'm weird.

Okay, next question. Oh, I've just seen one that's giving me the ick. Was it about a dog? No, do you wear shoes in your house? Oh. Get them off. Put your slippers on. No, yeah.

I mean, I am. I am guilty of if I'm quickly rushing in and need to grab something. Yeah, but if it's my house, I can do what I want, but I don't want anyone else doing it. No. So no, the answer is. But, okay. My dog has an issue with pumping people's legs, do you know how I can stop it? Now, I'm not a qualified dog trainer because, and equally, if you know anything about Louis, the other day, right, he went through like a mad humping phase where he was just like, it had to be every night. Like, every night it came out.

and he was up in time of his life to anything. But the other night, I was lying in bed, right? I was on my own, and Dexie this side, Louis this side, and he wouldn't settle, he was up, he was down, he was up, he was down, he was crying at the end of the bed, he wanted to get out the door. I was like, what is wrong with you? Like, usually he gets in bed, falls asleep. So I went, he come close to me, I'm stroking his head.

As soon as I've put my hand on his head, he's jumped and clawed around my arm. No! I was like, get off! Disclose, he just wouldn't touch him. I was like, get off me now, son. So no, if anyone does have an idea of how to stop it, please tell me. But I think it's just normal. I think it's different from bitches to dogs as well

because hera does it when she's about to come in season. Sweet, Dexy, Dexie humped the air. She'll just start doing me there. The other day she tried to get him, but he's never done it to her. So I'm like, wrong way around, guys. Wrong way around. Right, last couple questions, guys. Do your dogs sleep on your bed at night?

No, mine have the whole of the living room. Mine only don't though because it's bad for my sausage dogs to be going up two flights of stairs for the back so for health reasons they stay downstairs and they have the whole of the city and their bed. Dexie has always stayed in my bed because when I lived alone and stuff like I just wanted that comfort

and like I wanted it there and then when I got Louie I tried to keep him downstairs and it was just like mayhem it was howling all night and I was just like I don't actually want him to be down there like I love him I want to cuddle him so let's bring him up he's actually really they're both

really good but the problem is that they've both got beds in my room but they want to be that they both want to touch you so they actually physically have to be like pressed against your legs so you can't move but the problem I've got is that if Louis even moves a smidge Dexie's like err in the middle of night I'm like there's a fight at four o'clock in the oh my god so but Dexie's good like I can tell Dexie like getting your bed and she'll go in a bed all night happily but Louis won't Louis has to be mine like it when I have random nights like last night I slept downstairs like Elsa has to be like

here Oh that's really cute she's like breathing on me but it's so cute because she's like she nozzles like a head right into my neck that's really really sweet right best aid

do you want to do the final question yeah the last question is from Bella and it said if you're a sweet what would you be and why and that's just reminding me in Love Island Sean yeah and he's winding me off the clock

him and Lucinda no get off the show get off get off get off You know if they were sweets they'd be them sour ones because that's how they've been acting

I just but I just it's good TV though I didn't want them to go because it's quite good TV Great TV Right anyway Back to the question

If you were a sweet What would you be I think I'd be like a bonbon Because I'm a bit stubborn But once you break through my walls I'm soft And I can be quite sweet I would say

A My favourite sweet Like the strawberry Fat strawberry pencils With sugar on the outside banging I'll just say that Because I like them the best
