Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:39 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 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.
Starting point is 00:01:19 So thanks again to Shore and thank you all for tuning in. Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Restless Football Daily Brightness. I'm Millie Bright. And I'm Rachel Daly. How's life? All good. Back in the UK now.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Got back last night, so... How was Portugal? And where's the frog? Portugal was amazing. It was a much needed break. It was everything I needed and more. It's one of them where it's a bit sad to be back, but also really happy to be home. Yeah, there is something about coming home after a holiday. Yeah, I was ready. Once you get past the flight and you're actually in your house, it's like, yes, I'm home. Yeah. But the frog, Freddie, he, bless him, I kissed him. I gave him a little kiss.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I had him in my hands. I'm surprised you didn't bring him home. Honestly. I thought he was going to make it back. I was thinking, how can we make a pond in the back garden? How am I going to get him home? Sarah, I'm just going to do a new DIY. Basically, what's happening is I'm just going to do a new diy basically what's
Starting point is 00:02:25 happening is i'm just going to dig out a hole and bring freddie back just carry him in like a goldfish bag not sure i'd get him through security to be honest but i might have to get one here while i'm in you have to bring his whole family back as well there's loads of them how are you anyway how's your week been yeah it's been. I had a really good week in rehab. I had some family time, some switch off time. But yeah, it's been a really good week. The weather's been actually really nice back here. So it's been lush, but it's been quite a heavy week.
Starting point is 00:02:57 I think obviously with me not going to camp and the response of that. And yeah, it's been heavy i think emotionally but yeah i feel better i'm feeling like i'm focusing on all the right things and that's all you can do really isn't it 100 i'm glad you're feeling a bit better you look a bit better thanks bestie and on a lighter note you've just signed a two-year deal? Yeah, I did that last week so that was good. I'm buzzing for you. Thank you. Congrats.
Starting point is 00:03:28 It's a nice bit of weight off your shoulders when you get that over the line, isn't it? But no, I'm delighted to be
Starting point is 00:03:33 at Villa again and like I said on the last few episodes, I think coming off the back of how we finished the last season, I think it's something
Starting point is 00:03:41 to be excited about, something to be looking forward to be a part of and, you know, give what I can to the club that I really enjoy
Starting point is 00:03:49 playing for and hopefully kick on into this new season and the next one finishing strong and, yeah, I'm really excited. Yeah, you deserve it
Starting point is 00:03:57 though as well. You've been a massive figure for the team and you're a massive part of the way they play and, yeah, I know you as a player
Starting point is 00:04:04 and a person and your character in that squad. I'm excited to play against you some more. I'm sure we'll have some more gymnastic moves on the pitch sitting on your head and all sorts. No doubt we'll play your first game of the season again and it'll just be an absolute shit show of me and you falling on the floor. I am really, excited to to be back
Starting point is 00:04:25 playing for Villa and yeah it gives me two more years of hard work and kicking on to what I want to achieve and keep trying to break barriers you know within the club and within the football world and yeah hopefully go on and get some success with Villa. RD3, golden boot next season. You've got to change it to RD9 now, I reckon. RD9. It's been nine for like three years now. I know, but RD3 is just iconic. That's you.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I know, it's my little slogan, isn't it? Anyway, let's talk a bit more about you. How have you felt? Obviously, you touched on it a little bit then, but I think it was a difficult week for you last week. And I think really good to see you be so vulnerable and raw about your emotions and you know where you're at and what you need to do and I think maybe it'd be good for you to touch on a little bit more about the response really I think it's been really positive everything I've seen on social media and people that I know and that I'm close to have all sent you know their best wishes to you
Starting point is 00:05:25 and think it's so brave for you to speak up and be open and honest about how you're feeling and where you're at yeah no the response has been incredible um and I think again it's just another eye-opener to to people that life is bigger than football like your mental state your physical state is bigger than anything and as much as we love and as as much as I you know me I would run through a brick wall for anyone and anything and but you do get to a point where you're just like this is not healthy to continue to do that and to take that time but the response has been incredible and obviously an ambassador for young minds and everything they stand for it's a bit hypocritical if I go against what I'm trying to achieve.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And the message that I'm trying to send to everyone is to be vulnerable, to speak out, to be brave, to value your mental state and your physical state and kind of where you're at as a person. So if the easy thing was to go to camp, the hard thing is to say, no, actually, I'm not in a position. So, yeah, like I said the the response has been um quite overwhelming to be honest and so many people have have reached out and also it's in these moments where like touching on like what you said in in the last episode is in your toughest moments and probably your darkest times is when you realize who your people are and who's really there and who actually understands you so um I think, yeah, you learn a lot in every situation,
Starting point is 00:06:47 but the response has been good. And I've had a lot of thank yous. Thank you for showing that it's okay to do this. And I think sometimes when you're a player and you play for your country, you play at the highest level, you're expected to go to everything. You're expected to do everything.
Starting point is 00:07:03 You're expected to kind of be like invincible and I was like that's quite dangerous and it's quite scary that that is kind of what the outside world you know the pressure that they put on you but for me like you know I don't I don't shy away from anything and I think I've done a lot of learning on myself as well probably over the last couple years really and understanding myself a little bit better and my needs and you know at some point I do have to look after myself and yeah I feel like my role in life is always taking care of everyone but I need to take care of me first but I feel good I do feel good I feel you know I know it was the right decision um to not be there and like I said fully supportive of the girls and they went on and smashed it but
Starting point is 00:07:46 also I'd be a hindrance if I was there because I'm not 100% myself and I can't give the best version of me to the team so it'd be selfish to have gone. I probably wouldn't look at it as selfish of you to have gone I think it's more selfish towards yourself like you'd be doing a disservice to yourself and your emotional state and everything like you said that you promote and try and push for if you went and wasn't 100% like you you know that you know that you weren't and I think for people like me and you if we're not 100% we're almost at rock bottom you know I mean it's so visible it's so noticeable we wear our hearts on our sleeves um I'm not saying we used to get that we used to get that on camp yeah 100% like literally you walk down to breakfast and you just a slight bit off and it's so noticeable and I think
Starting point is 00:08:34 for you I think going to this camp and putting yourself through that sort of pressure and that sort of mental strain could have knocked you back so much further than where you are and I think taking that time for yourself I've seen you growing so much in just a week and putting yourself first you know I even have a conversation with your mum and stuff and it's just I'm so I actually really am so proud of you like I know I say it all the time but thanks you've achieved so much in your career and so much in your life and you are at the top of your game.
Starting point is 00:09:09 But I think in this moment now is the most I've ever been proud of you because it's so difficult to do and it's really not an easy thing. And I think for me seeing, my eyes are filling up, for me seeing the responses. I'm too emotional at this moment in time.
Starting point is 00:09:23 The responses from everybody it's just it's probably overwhelming for you because I was a little bit overwhelmed when I read it all but it's such an outpouring message of love and care for you and I think that's so important because like you say there's a lot of negativity in this world
Starting point is 00:09:39 and there's a lot of people that there's probably criticism as to why you've done this but the 99% are the ones are they understand what real life actually is and and what you're suffering with is isn't something to be played around with and it's not a joke so yeah I'm really proud of you thanks bestie I appreciate that and it's I've had so many like parents actually like comment or message and be like thank you for showing my little girl that no matter like what level you play at or how old you are you can also take a break at any time and everyone deserves to take a break sometimes but that's what I think for us
Starting point is 00:10:16 like as athletes like we have a duty to deliver at the highest level every single day and I want to say normal in quotations job if you're struggling you do typically get granted time off and have a bit of a me day and a bit of me time or you know you've got the weekends maybe if you're a nine-to-fiver to sort of decompress and sort of deal with your emotions but because we're so full-on all the time there isn't actually that moment to just breathe and take a step back and say, actually, I can't do it right now. Like I'm at my limits. And I think just having that, even just this week,
Starting point is 00:10:52 for you to just be able to like lift your battery up a little bit and recharge will do the world of good. And yeah, I think you just showed the rest of the world that, you know, me is bigger than we sometimes and including Dexy Dexy clearly agrees with me but um yeah she's like you go mill thanks Dexy and now she's like can you come and see me now please yeah 100% I'm coming Dexy I'm bringing my little sleepover bag don't you worry girl all the girls together but just on that i just wanted to touch just for everyone listening this is the thing like with me and rach as well we're so bubbly and so
Starting point is 00:11:29 like upbeat and we're constantly like on this high probably because i definitely we both probably have adhd but our characters are like we're like bum bum bum bum bum like we're always like come on let's do something like let's go everyone energy. And then the minute we dip a tiny, tiny bit, everyone's like, oh, you're okay. You're all right. What's happened? You two fell out. Isn't any of Rachel all right?
Starting point is 00:11:53 And it had happened to us so often. We'd be like, yeah, we're cool. We're just social batteries are a little bit low or energy is a little bit dipped. Like we just need to reboost ourselves. And I remember all the time we'd look at each other and be like, it's happening again. Everyone thinks we've fallen out.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Maybe it was a sign that like we probably just needed to recharge and we didn't realise. We're like, we're fine, nothing is wrong. Yeah, literally. I was like, stop asking me. I hate that when you're not all right. People are like, are you all right? You're all right, you're all right, you're all right.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I was fine, but now I'm not. I was fine, now you've just pissed me off again. Pissed off again. Oh God, and then me, you just go now I'm not. I was fine. Now you've just pissed me off again. Pissed off again. Oh, God. And then me, you were just going, I'm fuming! Remember, we'd go, we're going back to the room. Should we go back to the room?
Starting point is 00:12:36 See, they don't socialise with anyone. They're just back in the room. Like, why does everyone think we're angry? What's up with us? What's up with us? Is it us? Is it them? We'd look at mirror steam coming out of our ears
Starting point is 00:12:45 oh god but no listen it's part of life everyone has a dip everyone has highs and lows and yeah I'm doing good
Starting point is 00:12:54 I'm doing good navigate your way through it exactly so no it's been I think it's been a big lesson learnt for everyone involved
Starting point is 00:13:01 and the fans and the wider group of people that are involved in sport and just remembering that we are allowed to take breaks and we do exist as humans. And I think we keep saying it, but I don't think it's still understood. But the response I've had has been incredible. So just thank you to everyone that has sent a nice message
Starting point is 00:13:20 and just said either you're proud or you thought it was brave because it's definitely not an easy thing to do. And you're swallowing a lot of pride as well when you I feel like that anyway um but yeah moving on I think that's um a perfect little segue into talking about Mary because yeah she received a lot of negativity which I think is just awful and a little bit ignorant and naive because nobody knows what people, again, okay, so Mary hasn't maybe fully disclosed everything as to what's gone on in her mind,
Starting point is 00:13:55 but gone on to lead to this decision. And I just think it's a little bit disrespectful. Like, again, if somebody, it's obviously not quitting, but if somebody quits their job, they don't get peppered, they don't get slaughtered, they don't get slated, they don't get asked why. And I think for me, when I retired, I got so much love and support. And I look back and I think, why did I,
Starting point is 00:14:20 is it because it wasn't a tournament coming up? Like, there's no right time to retire from your international career career when that moment comes and that moment tells you in your mind each time no person can dictate what you do with that decision and I think and why should why should a player be forced why should you why should you be forced what what what good is it to be in a situation if you're if you feel like you're done and it's the right time to move on? Who in the right mind is in a position to tell you otherwise? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:53 We know Mary very well. Who would give her arm and a leg? This isn't a decision she made the night before announcing her retirement. This will have gone on for a long time. You know me. When I was thinking about this, this was a long process, long before I made that decision. But when that time was right, in my mind, that was it. Like I had given everything to the country,
Starting point is 00:15:15 everything I possibly could have given and some, and so was Mary and so was every other person that has retired internationally. It is not easy. It's the hardest decision to ever make. I think it's disgusting the amount of negativity and almost like it's a disgrace. I just think it's...
Starting point is 00:15:32 I don't understand how you can... And do you know what? She also doesn't have to explain herself. That's exactly my point. I said that. She doesn't have to explain herself. Why should she? She's also reeled off a hell of a lot of points
Starting point is 00:15:43 as to why she's made that decision is that not enough who are you in your right mind to question why somebody has made a decision i'm sorry i don't understand it like that's her life if you take it all the way back and think about her as a human right now that was a difficult decision for her one that she again would have pondered for a long long time after giving everything like breaking so many boundaries for the nation like in that moment have you not just taken a step back and gone oh my god i really feel for her this must be such a difficult decision i really hope she's okay thank you for your services thank you for everything you've done and we can't wait to
Starting point is 00:16:23 see you shine at club level i i can't wrap my head around why she's i don't i don't understand i don't understand it and i think it's i think it's really disrespectful i think it's ignorant as a human being to disrespect another human being for making the decision what they feel is best for them like how dare you like question an individual and how they feel you can't tell someone how they feel when who in the right mind would think to be like oh you know what i'm gonna go and give a shit online i'm gonna say this i'm gonna say this like like you said just thank her for her services and if she feels this is the right time then so be it now there's a new opportunity for a youngster to come in and have their moment, which she stated in her statement, which is you're passing the baton on.
Starting point is 00:17:08 That's how sport works. That's life. I said the same thing in my statement. Like I meant that from the bottom of my heart. Like I knew that it was time. And you look at Aggie Beaver-Jones. She stepped in now and worked her way into that team and is absolutely thriving.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing that happen. No. And the goalkeepers coming through now have got a brilliant opportunity. Like, I can't even, it really, really, really angers me that anyone can question anybody's decision in terms of that. Well, and now she's come off social media as well, which I can only think is because you know if i was in that position and i'd think freaking heck i'd want to
Starting point is 00:17:50 completely wipe my social media as well and and you know you don't want to be dealing with that like it's hard enough for her coming to that decision like like you said it's not an easy decision whether you believe it's right or not it's not an easy decision like and you knowing yourself you're still letting go of something that you've given every ounce of energy you've sacrificed everything to to represent your country and you don't just represent your country one like 10 days a month you represent every single day because it's your club performances it's sacrificing birthdays and family events and time with your friends and holidays and exploring the world. You sacrifice everything for football.
Starting point is 00:18:28 It's not an easy thing and I can only imagine she's come off it because of the amount of shit that she's getting. And to drive a player to feel like they need to do that or drive a person, I just don't understand it. What world do we live in? I don't get it. And you don't have to be happy with the decision. No one's sitting here going you should be over the moon she's retired because there'll be a lot of people
Starting point is 00:18:48 that are gutted because of what she's done for the country but instead of showing it in such a negative nasty way think about her and how she's feeling in this moment because we both know this is not an easy thing for people to do like you've lived it through with me but yeah i think the problem for me is is like retiring is such a strange word for me because most people retire in their 60s, in their 70s, in their normal life. And nobody's judging them for retiring. They're soaking up their pension. They've worked and they've done everything. It's like a fast track for football and sport. It's fast tracked. everything you do on a daily basis it's like you're squeezing it into your 30s and she has given her heart and soul blood sweat and tears to play for her nation to represent a nation to break barriers to fight for things off the pitch give the girl some credit
Starting point is 00:19:38 celebrate her but anyway mary we're proud of you we celebrate you Mary we love you I salute you you've been incredible and for anybody listening just please please please like just think of all the things that that individual has done rather than oh well she's retiring like let's give a shit let's abuse it like no just appreciate it and accept that the baton's being passed on it's an exciting it's an exciting thing the next era of football is literally right here so like just enjoy it and and just just think before you speak like please i just don't understand just yeah and if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say it. Just don't say it. Simple rant over before I start upping people.
Starting point is 00:20:32 I'm fuming. I'm fuming. Right, let's take a quick break on that note. Don't go anywhere. We'll be back in a second. Breaking news. A brand new game is now live at Bet365. Introducing Prize Matcher, a daily game that's never ordinary. We'll be back in a second. How can you match that? Check out Prize Matcher and see why it's never ordinary at Bet365.

Starting point is 00:21:07 Please play responsibly. If you or someone you know has concerns about gambling, visit connexontario.ca. T's and Z's apply. Welcome back, everyone. Me and Rach have just had a little cool off. We are back to our normal state now. We've taken three deep breaths.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Yeah. Right, we're back in the room. But yeah, Rach, I just thought it'd be good to touch on, obviously, the girls, the Lionesses were absolutely on fire. Really good result against Portugal, 6-0. But I think one individual in particular, your little favourite... Little Miss Beaver Jones!
Starting point is 00:21:42 So yeah, our little star girl, I think, obviously, she has done incredible and i think watching that girl come from being a kid at chelsea and watching her growth and come to us go out on loan and you see a lot of players that go out on loan and they never come back she came back and she just soaked everything up kept getting little minutes here and there was really patient stuck it out and now like she's yeah i'm just really really proud of her and to see that growth and there was really patient stuck it out and now like she's yeah i'm just really really proud of her and to see that growth and there has been incredible like incredible but striker to striker what what do you see her as as a player i think she's brilliant i think she's got so much
Starting point is 00:22:15 talent and her potential she's not even anywhere near it yet you know i mean the ceiling is so high for her and i think we're just seeing glimpses of how good she is. But I think how good she's going to be is frightening if she continues at this level. And the season that she's had at Chelsea, again, I mean, she's surrounded by the best players in the world day in, day out, getting coached by incredible coaches. And I think, like you say, her just soaking that up and being a bit of a sponge and learning from the likes of,
Starting point is 00:22:41 you know, you, Lucy, there's big players there that she can learn from. And I've really enjoyed seeing how successful she's been this season. Like you say, just minutes here and there and then getting starts. And, you know, to get a start at Chelsea, it's probably one of the most difficult things to do. So she's, you know, she's... And I'm glad she got her opportunity on Friday.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Obviously, unfortunate to see Alessia pick up a calf injury. But again, it's a little opportunity there for Aggie to show what she can do. And, you know, they've got so many good forwards in that team right now. And I was so pleased. And it puts it into perspective for me, thinking that when obviously when I retired, knowing that she was going to come through, I was so excited to see her thrive.
Starting point is 00:23:20 So, yeah, absolutely delighted for her to get a hat trick. It's not an easy thing to do at any level, never mind international in a major game so massive shout out to little miss Beaver Jones
Starting point is 00:23:29 yeah she's bossed it I honestly I've got a little soft spot for her I see her as like a little sister her and Vika at club
Starting point is 00:23:35 yeah keep it as sisters they're not besties okay yeah no they're little my little sisters but no I give a tough love because I believe in
Starting point is 00:23:43 her as a player and as a person and she does get that toughness from me like she definitely don't get an easy like side I'm probably tougher on her because I care a lot about her and I see her potential but you know she's always asking for advice or support and she always thanks me and but she just listens like she listens and then she delivers and I'm like I told her I said this is you I texted before comes that time shine now she's just smashing it smashing it and it's really nice to see people getting what they deserve and, like you said, getting an opportunity. And obviously we hope Lesley isn't too serious and she's back soon,
Starting point is 00:24:13 but great for the team to have everyone fit and firing and having a pick of those two is incredible. Yeah, it's great competition. I think it's so healthy. And yeah, going into a tournament, that's what you need, isn't it? Like two, three unbelievable strikers to pick from. It'll definitely give Serena a headache, I think. But it is great for, I know as a striker,
Starting point is 00:24:33 when I was with Les all the time, it was so nice to have her there for me. And hopefully she feels the same way. But, you know, just pushing each other every day to be the best you can be. And I think obviously they've got that in Nikita, Agui, Alessio. They've got three unbelievable strikers.
Starting point is 00:24:52 So yeah, it leads to be an exciting prospect for the tournament, having those three on the cards and being able to play at any given time. But big game coming up Tuesday, Spain. Obviously always a difficult game. Always a difficult game in Spain. For sure, for obvious reasons. But, you know, obviously we had a fantastic game against them last time and I think coming
Starting point is 00:25:06 off the back of a 6-0 win clean sheet very good performance by the team collectively I think that'll give the girls a lot of confidence going into it
Starting point is 00:25:15 and I think that's the thing with the Nations League as well is the games are competitive they're not just friendlies and it's everything to play for like the game matters
Starting point is 00:25:22 it means something obviously a friendly you take pride out a bit, but when it's a competitive game and there's something on the line for it, you know as well as I do, it's completely different. 100%. I think that's good leading.
Starting point is 00:25:33 That little bit more. Leading into a tournament, that's what you need, isn't it? You want to be challenged and tested at the top level. So I think it's great for Serena to see what our players are capable of and it's great for the players to show what they can do and obviously going in
Starting point is 00:25:46 with hopefully two wins will be a great boost of confidence for them yeah definitely so yeah excited to watch that one let's get another win and yeah
Starting point is 00:25:54 it's a successful camp hopefully two wins coming out of this week mosh let's talk about gratitude what are you grateful for this week Millie
Starting point is 00:26:01 oh wow did you see my voice oh we lost them what are you grateful for this week Millie? oh wow did you hear my voice? oh wow we've lost the oh my god it keeps what just happened?
Starting point is 00:26:15 I don't know what's happening anyway what I was saying I was going to say do you want to kick us off first this time because I went first last time yeah I can do. Okay. First thing I'm grateful for is the outpouring love that you've received this week.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I think that speaks for itself. But with the world that we live in, I was a little bit nervous with the response you were going to get. Some people are fickle. Some people don't understand. But I think seeing that... Ain't that a sad thing? Very, very much so. But we're not talking about sadness.
Starting point is 00:26:43 We're talking about grateful for those people that gave you that love and support this week well mine's pretty similar i was gonna say i'm very grateful for good people in the world good people and kind words love that because it's meant it's meant a lot and i think it just goes to show that there is still goodness out there and no matter what kind of is going on in society, like it does exist. And social media can be such a horrible, dark place to be around that I'd be lying if I said I weren't nervous for it to come out that I'd, you know, mentally and physically weren't in a position to be there
Starting point is 00:27:15 and I'd taken that decision. I was thinking, oh shit, like I better get ready for the storm ahead. But yeah, I think it just shows that there's still goodness. So thank you to every single person. That is one of my gratitudes. Just remember it's a sign of strength not weakness what you did that it is bestie next one for me is home i'm grateful for my house right because coming home from holiday i walked in the
Starting point is 00:27:36 door and i was just like oh i felt so at peace i'd had it all i cleaned it all before i left it was all nice and tidy my grass is about up to my knees now that I've laid but oh she'll be getting lawnmower out later don't worry guys I've already been to B&Q this morning and bought a lawnmower so that's
Starting point is 00:27:50 yeah there she is that's actually after I do that after I'm playing golf today go on bestie we need to start our lessons I know I'm going to go
Starting point is 00:27:58 for a round with Sarah and Ryan this afternoon and just see what I'm made of yeah we're all going to play today and then go for some lessons, I think, next week.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Oh, shit. I'm grateful for her. I better pull my finger out. I need to get going. That's a nice one. What am I grateful for? Do you know what I am grateful for? And it's right beside me.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I'm grateful for my little mug that Rachel got me because I've been using it every day and when I've been going through this rough ride, every time I look at it, I go, aw your bestie always literally and obviously it's cute as hell looks like a hero so I'm grateful for my little mug that um my bestie got me because every day I've been thinking of you never above you never below you always beside you like that I got that tattoo actually I'm getting booked in for my next one soon anyway um, the last thing I'm grateful for, right, is so silly, but clippers, like hair clippers.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Because Dexy, I picked her up yesterday and she was literally like a fur ball. Her hair was so long. And I was like, is she gained a bit of weight? Which typically she does when she goes on a little holiday because everyone wants to spoil her, which is rightly so. But I was like, oh my God, she's so furry.
Starting point is 00:29:04 So I literally woke up at the crack of dawn this morning and just gave her a little buzz cut i go get a little uh mobile spa a lady comes in a van and you just chuck them in the back and then she does them all on the front i know and i wanted to get that going for dexy but she really doesn't like it i mean she doesn't really like it when i do i'd rather just quickly get it done so she looks i mean i do give her the occasional ball patch by accident, but it's okay. Well, I mean, you are DIY daily,
Starting point is 00:29:27 so you do do it all yourself. Exactly. So keep doing it. Dexy's just on the receiving end of my bodge jobs. Dexy's just got ball patch everywhere, but it's fine.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Just get her, take her to the park and get her to embarrass because all the other dogs are laughing at her. Right, my third one. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Oh, my new Crocs. Do you want to see them? Mm-hmm. Do you remember when we were on camp and we used to. Oh, my new Crocs. Do you want to see them? Mm-hmm. Do you remember on camp when we used to get a new pair of Crocs every camp? Different colour. I'm grateful for my new Crocs because, one, this colour goes with everything. And I don't know if you can see everybody, but I've got them on.
Starting point is 00:30:01 I think I need some new Crocs for the garden as well. See that flexibility then? But they're so... You know, you just put something on your foot and you go, ah, that's comfy. Yeah, but do you remember we used to buy a new pair for every camp and a different colour? Yeah, literally, and we had about 50 pairs of Crocs and that's the only thing we had in our cases.
Starting point is 00:30:17 They were good though, weren't they, Bessie? I do love Crocs. But yeah, they're just like ideal in all situations and I've just needed a lot of comfort this week. It's like putting your foot in a glove. Perfect. But guys, I think that is it for today's episode. Thank you so much for always listening and subscribing. Keep pushing our page out.
