Hello everyone, welcome to Daily Brightness, mine and Rachel's favourite episode. It is the Q&A, Rach, kick us off. Right, first question, what was your favourite event at the Winter Olympics? I've been well into the Winter Olympics. I've been dipping in and out, to be honest, but all I think of when I think of that is, oh, do you know, I have been seeing a lot of the, I don't know what it's called, but when they do the skiing and it's like really bubbling and they go up on a thing and I've seen that dude that went over the finish line backwards.

I don't think I saw that. On the skis, I don't know what it's called. There's loads of skiing ones. I watch the ones and they go all the way down that thing. I was going to have a massive half-pipe. And they go off and it's like... Oh my God. Yeah, but the girl, I find it hard to watch after she had that bad fall and then...

Yeah, that was bad. Did you see that one, a girl... We were watching, the girl, it's not funny. But the girl landed and as she's landed and knees have bent and her face had gone down and just gone straight up, I was like, oh, that looks sore. But do you know what I like? Well, I love ice hockey. Yes.

I love watching the ice hockey. And I love, I find the skeleton so interesting. How they go so streamlined around that narrow little... It's crazy. Isn't it refreshing at Winter Olympics? Like it's so like, it's sports,

like you just, you see him do certain things and I'm like, I didn't even know that existed. I like the curling, my mum hates it. She's like watching paint dry. E! That one that was cheating! It's a Canadian? His finger pushed it over and he was like, what, what?

I'm like, don't you know these going to be cameras? like, what you're cheating for? Oh, I know. That, that, see me doing that, that would completely piss me off. That would send me... If someone bashing to my thing and they all went out.

It's like a shuffleboard. I'm going home. Good question. We're here for it at Winter Olympics. This episode is powered by British Gas with Peek Save helping you get more out of your Sundays. Sundays are our favourite day of the week.

they are really cute but don't you think sloths are really cute in a weird way? Yeah, but what's the point? I just think of like pingu mhm, m'n, I love penguins. For anyone I raise it who's like,

mech, mech, mech, wik, wik, this little mouth. I do think sloths are cute though. Hey, have you seen new emoji? on iPhone. No. Sloth. There's a sloth on,

I'm going with sloth. There was for ages. Well, they? I'll have a massive bea wood in my house and sloth can just hang from it. Oh no, I'd imagine just being in kitchen making a cup of tea

and penguins is just waddling in. That's so cute. Right, you have a sloth, I love a penguin. What is your favourite go-to karaoke song when you're forced to do it? Go on, do a bit of Lady Marmalade. Go on.

Firstly, I can't, I'm getting shy. Go on. Do it for it for pod. Can't I've got a cough as well. I'll tell you what I will do. I'll do a TikTok singing Lady Marmalade and I will send it in I'll send you my vocals

but I've got a bit of a tickle of a cough at minute Right Mine would be Lady Marmalade 100% What would mine be? River Deep Mountain High probably It's got to be Already done it mate Got that T-shirt a long time ago

Yeah, Chafalgo Square Can't get much bigger than that can it? Basically like performing at a live concert If you ask me It is right this is a really good question If you could only wear one colour For the rest of the year What would it be?

Black I mean everything matches. I mean, obviously in the summer it would be a bit rough but equally, you just can't go wrong. Yeah. And you can wear an all black outfit

and it's still look nice. Yeah, and it's slimming. Oh yeah, because you're really Rachel wearing out. I don't know, because like, it's like one of those things, you're not in the winter, you're not going to wear white. But I love, like, my brown creams and your neutral.

Yeah, but you can't wear white shorts and a white t-shirt all year round. No. that's what I mean. It'd have to be black, you know. Well, you could wear black jeans in a black t-shirt. Exactly. They actually wore all black other day, to be honest.

Went out for food and wore all black. I always know all black. It's going to have to be black because it's like everything matches. Right, good question. Would you rather have to sing everything you say or dance everywhere you go? Dance everywhere you go. It'd be so funny. Dance everywhere you go.

Yeah, literally be doing it worm in the street. That would be so funny. Going across roads like that. You know that thing? You know that thing? Or like AI or whatever and they're like make people like. like wobble about, that'd be us walking around the street. Yeah, I'd dance everywhere just purely because I think I would

annoy so many people singing and I can't sing. Yeah, I'd dance because it's entertaining people's can't do it. Yeah, and it made people laugh because they know we'd like being silly. Oh, this is a hard one. I don't know any facts, but what's the most ridiculous facts, do you know? Oh, I do know one, actually. Ridiculous fact? Go on then, say you are. I just need to proof-check this, actually.

It's facts, but I've actually just made it up. No, it is true It's something about butterflies And butterflies don't fly in the rain Because it either damages their wings Or they can't fly I can't think which one it is Oh yes, butterflies can fly in light rain

But most of the time they avoid flying When it comes to raining Why they avoid rain, delicate wings Butterfly wings are thin And covered in tiny scales, heavy rain drops Can damage them, see? A new part of the fact While we're on butterflies Here's a fact

they can see more colours than humans. But what other colours could exist? Maybe like they could see like magenta. What's magenta? And like turquoise. Oh but we can see that. That might be dumbest thing you've ever said and I love it because normally it's me.

What did I say last week? Rotate about. It's because we're doing it later. Right, next question. If your life was a TV show, what would the theme tune be? Mine would be something like Jurassic Park. Sing the theme tune, write the theme. Or it would be the Keenan and Kel one

because it's like upbeat and I'm walking on sunshine. Oh, that's nice. I don't like this next question. This next one's a little bit iffy. I'm not sure which way it's going. Would you rather be permanently slightly sticky or permanently slightly dusty?

Oh, I don't want to be sticky, so dusty. Oh, but imagine, imagine. Imagine having dust on you though, you'd be like, ah. You're like, it's... Yeah, but I grew up on farm, so I'm used to dusty hay and straw and brushing horses, so I'd rather that. Imagine being sticking, everything's sticking. No.

No, because you know what, in the summer when it's hot, and you're all clammy and things are sticking to you, and you're just like, oh my God, I need to... No, it's like when you have an ice lullet in the summer and your hands are all sticky. Hate that, I hate it, don't like. Yeah, dusty. I'd rather be dusty. Would you rather have the ability to speak to birds or fish?

Birds. Birds, probably. Like, why have you just shit on it? Oh, I don't know, because I feel like I'm a water baby and I've always said I'd love to be Aquaman growing up. So I'd love to be the ocean when he goes like out and all... Just talking to all ocean, that'd be sick.

Right, guys, we are going to take a quick break. Great questions so far, but there's plenty more to come. Welcome back to the second part of David Brightness, Q&A. We've had some great questions like Millie said and kick off of the second half. You want to go, Mill? Oh, what's your ultimate comfort food meal after a rubbish day? Well, we've had quite a few last year, so.

How long have you got? I would have, I would be like shepherd's pie, peas, loads of gravy. Oh, yeah, that'd be nice. Ooh, ultimate comfort meal. Honestly, something that reminds me of back home, a stew, slow cooker, sausage casserole, dumplings. Did you? Yeah.

We had brazen steak at a day that we're banging. Yeah, I'd probably say a stew, dumplings, massive Yorkshire pudding, chuck everything inside, loads of endos relish on top. He's thinking about, oh, shouldn't have got that cabbage, I should have got stew. Right.

You can't bring back around going, very soon, baby. If you were a contestant on Bake Off, what would your signature bake be? I'm not very good at baking, I can't lie. I think I'm better at, see, my middle sister, Amy,

she's always been best baker. I've been the better chef. Honestly, I think my bake, I'd do a lemon meringue. Oh, that's hard. Yeah, I've made one lemon meringue before, though. In lockdown, I did it, my nan took me through step by step. I actually did complete it, and it was lovely.

I'd probably do, like, brownies of summer. I'd do a lemon meringue. I'm backing myself. Or like a bicky sponge. Oh, yeah, it can't be a sticky toffee pudding, though. I'm not making that. Also, talking about cake, how good was my wedding cake that Sue made? Banging.

Unreal. I just, if I could be a food, I would be cake. Hey, you know that bait king, the guy? Yeah, he's insane. No, that's such a weird timing because this morning I woke up at like 6 o'clock and I was like, right, went on Instagram, saw his post and then I was on a spiral.

Like, I literally just went down the rabbit hole and I watched everything. Have you seen any stranger things that he's done? It's crazy. It's all insane. It's insane. Ridiculous. Shout out to the bait king. Right, go on.

If you could invent any useless gadget, what would it do? There's no such thing as a useless gadget, everything has its purpose. I love gadgets. Maybe I'd just get it to just like, if you could just click your fingers and it gives you back massage. Yeah, but do you know what it is? I always lose my wallet and my keys,

so I'd love something that I could just go... Yeah, why don't you just get an air tag? Yeah, but then you have to put it in things and... Yeah, but I've got... What if I lose my phone? Well, that's just stupidity. So I'd like a gadget that I have. I'd like something on my watch that I just click and it's like,

Bing. Here's where you're writing. Have you got an Apple Watch? No, I don't wear it. I give it to kids. Well, and you could do that. Anyway, mine would be a massager. Actually, just like, I could just be like, oh, I want podcast.

Giz a massage. Hey, there's actually one on TikTok and you put it on your neck and it's got mini-hand. I've got it. I've got it. Have you bought it? Yeah. If you had to describe your personality as a biscuit, which would you be? It's definitely not a hobnobnob because I ain't safe it.

My personality is, well, we're not rich teas because they're plain as hell and boring. They're worst biscuits in the world. It should be illegal. I would be, I'd be a custard cream, you know. I love custard creams, but only with coffee, not tea. I always peel one side off, eat the middle bit, I thought you would. Now I want some custard creams.

I'd even be a custard cream, I think that... No, I don't think you would be, because that's very, really vanilla, like, boring, playing. All right, well, the biscuit's not boring, but if you were to look at the biscuit. I would say we're like... I was going to say, like, a chocolate digest is, but that's not true, because everyone loves them and not everyone loves us. Hmm. Hmm.

Tricky. What are the biscuits is there? No, we don't like hobnobbs. No, they're too flaky. Jammy Dodger. An old school classic. Not everyone likes them. Yeah, let's go with Jammy Dodger.

And my mum's doing this signet background because they have a love art and that's us. So, there you go. Jammy Dodger, it is. Jammy Dodger. Well done, that was a good one. Good question. Right, would you want,

Wother? Oh, no, let me just put my teeth back in. Would you round? always have brilliantly sunny weather well that don't exist in England or always have a cozy rainy autumn day sunny weather 100 but I love it's hard because I do love a cozy autumn day

because we've had so many wet days recently I would go an autumn day because then it makes going on holiday even more exciting because you're getting away from something true but I feel like we have that all year round so it's like yeah but I just love I'm a sun worshipper I love the song I know I'm paying

as hell right now as well. Same, it's awful. Yeah, I would pick sun. But I'm not, I do really like a rainy day when you're at home. But I only like it when you're like cozy tucked up like that said. But the other day, it was the first sunny day ever this year.

And everyone was out and it just was so nice. I just see people walking. To be fair, today's been well nice. The first day we've had like, horses have been out, no rugs on a little rolling and the great time. Crazy. Anyway, I've got a question for you.

What is the best film you've watched recently? And if you've watched one recently, what's your review on it? I have literally just been to the cinema last night. How was it? What did you watch? So I saw Crime 101. Crime 101.

Chris Hemsworth in it. Come on then, give us your verdict. And he is just beautiful. Beautiful man. Anyway, really good... Get him on the pod. Excuse me. Chris, get on the pod.

Imagine. He could come on pod. It was... We'll do that one in person though, shall we? Yeah. Oh, he's so good looking. So good looking. I sat there the whole film

I was like oh, he's smart. Anyway, back to the film. But it was good, like, it was one of them films where, like, I like action films but I like a bit of, like, niceness. I don't like it all like killing and that. So, I don't want to ruin it,

but it had a really good ending, like a really happy ending for me anyway. I loved it. I think you'd really like it. I did fall asleep because, as you know, I cannot go to the cinema. We can't. It's impossible for us.

So if I could, if I was trying up at nap the other day, right? and lawn mower, someone with lawn mowing, right? Mow at lawn. I couldn't shut my eyes. I was like, oh! That noise is so annoying. Like, why I can't sleep?

Meanwhile, I'm into dinner. It's like, and I'm just like... But best it, that is an ADHD thing. You know what I've also learned, which I think we should do an episode on this, to be honest, because we both definitely have it. They say, obviously, you know, in your sleep people coming in, like, don't go on your phones before bed, don't watch TV.

But if you have ADHD, going, doing those things, actually sends you to sleep. Like it does, I have. to have the TV on like and if I can't get to sleep I'll go on my phone watch TikTok for like 10 minutes I'll be out like a lie. To be fair when I'm in the night if I wake up I do go up but I won't go on my phone to like I used to read the news just because it like bores me. Yeah when you're in the cinema though do you do that this is maybe a little bit of a toxic trait when you wake up from falling asleep in the cinema and they go oh how was the

film I'm like oh my god it was amazing they go watch your favourite part and I'm like oh that at the beginning it really got me. Sarah went oh are you asleep no No, no. No. Or you make yourself jump and then they're like, were you asleep? No, no. I actually just pay money to go for a nap now. It's crazy.

Honestly, I do that all the time. We went off on a bit of a tangent there, but... We did. But guys, thank you so much for the questions. A blast, as always. Don't forget to keep sending them in and we'll be back very soon.
