1:53Hello everyone and welcome to Daily Brightness, the podcast where me and my bestie talk all things football, but most importantly we talk about life and let you in a little bit on our lives outside of football. So firstly, Rach, how are you? Yeah, I'm alright. Obviously, sidelined for a few weeks, so that's annoying, but yeah, really good. Other than that, how are you? I see that you've had a very, very, very, very, very important week, little Miss Millie Bright OBE. Bessie, I'm having a Cloud 9 week. I can't stop smiling. Yeah, I'm really good though, thank you. And I hope you're okay first and foremost, which, like you said, is a little bit crappy, but these things happen.

2:34So, yeah, but week's been good. It's been a rollercoaster, to be honest. Yeah, I had to come off Cloud 9 pretty quickly and get all eyes on the game. But, yeah, life is good. Life is good. Yeah, talk to us about Windsor, because I absolutely loved it. And I know what you mean. It's like the most surreal moment. It is crazy. Everyone kept asking me and I really couldn't put it into words. I'm not speechless very often. And as you know, gobshite over here. And I was, and I was like, I don't actually know how to explain it. I remember doing an interview straight after and I was like, I don't really know what to tell you or how to tell you what it feels like.

3:16Firstly, I think my nan thought she was getting presented it. She loves the royals. You know what she's like. even like the start of it. So getting hair and makeup done in the morning and then watching like my mom and my gran and my sister get ready and my dad. And we just kept, I just remember like kept looking at my mom and dad and going, we don't belong here. What are we doing? I know. I had imposter syndrome and I went in there. I was like, this is good. I don't feel like I should be here. That was me, but it was super exciting. Like everyone scrubbed up pretty decent to be fair. So that was really special.

3:47And then just like walking over to Windsor Castle and we just kept looking at each other giggling. I feel like all of your pictures that you took or where I took mine, I was like, it's a deja vu flicking through your photos. Like, that's literally what I did. Right at the beginning outside the castle, we kept going, my dad kept going, oh, that's a good spot. Stand there, stand there. Oh, that looks nice there. What a view, what a view. Like, stand there. So anyway, you go in, as you know, we walked in and then you're like walking through Winter Castle and then you're going through all these different rooms.

4:14Yeah, but you know when you go for all them rooms and all them people that you meet that tell you they're how posh are they as well? And I'm like, oh, yes, I'll go through that way and turn right. And yes, I'll go left and sit down. I turned to my dad and I went, dad, I'm going to have to put a different accent on. I'm going to have to change my life. I'm going to have to change what I told you. Do you know who I am? Because I don't belong here. No. And what I will say is every single staff member, like, were super, super, like, amazing. Lovely, aren't they? They made you feel so comfortable. And I felt like our worlds were, like, miles apart.

4:44And we come from completely different worlds. but yeah, I still felt like I belonged there in a way, even though I was like, this is fraud. I should not be here. They made me feel so comfortable. And like it is, it's one of them days where no one can prepare for that. You don't ever go through any walk of life thinking, oh, I'm going to get an OB or an MBA or something else. My mom said to me, she was like, well, are you nervous? She was like, I've never actually seen you like nervous. I'm like, I'm so nervous. I was cacking it. I was absolutely cacking it. And the thing that I was so nervous for was the courtesy.

5:15Did you get scared to do the curtsy? Best thing I was all flustered and I did a little head nod on the way in because the lady when I was there, she was like, honestly, it's your day. Just do whichever feels comfortable. And then I thought, oh, I can't knock curtsy. I've got to. That would be really, really bad. So on the way in, I did a little nod and then when we took our final handshake and I stepped back, then I curtsied then. And then I walked off. I was like, what if I trip? I thought, oh, it was terrible. I thought he's probably going to, William's probably going to look at me and be like, what are you doing?

5:43But it's easy when it's him as well because he's so lovely and we've met him a few times before. Just so genuine. When I was in there, I was like, last time I saw you, playing table football with Millie and Mary. Literally. I think my parents were more like, they were like, where do we go? What if we get it wrong? I said, you won't get it wrong. And I said, and do you know what? If one of you's trips up or you get it wrong, then it's our little thing. I'm not bothered. Yeah, and I'm sure there's many people that have done that before. But the staff, I can't thank them enough. They were absolutely incredible and it went perfect.

6:13It was perfect. So obviously you get, you get your OBE we went through then we had loads of like professional pictures talking again mum, dad and gran are like what the hell we're not used to this like and they like position you and everything I was like it's fine just relax let's just be us but like the build up to it and I said I'm more nervous for that than I was walking out for the World Cup final it's just a different feeling isn't it I was I was bricking it and people are like why, why and I'm like because this is not my world like but it was so surreal like and I could just see like in my mum and dad's eyes and my gran's like just how proud they were.

6:45I think that's the nicest feeling, isn't it? Without them, like, that moment doesn't exist. Like, without them doing what they've done for me, which created my career, I don't get that moment. So it was like an us moment. It was like a family moment. It's like a giving and back moment, isn't it? Yeah. I felt like that. I was like, my mum loves the royal family and, like, loves all that, you know, has followed the royal family since she was a kid. So for her to be there celebrating me was like... I know. It was just, inside Windsor Castle, my God. Almost amazing, isn't it? The seedlings, the paintings, our measurements.

7:17No, but you know that I am obsessed with castles, don't you? So, like, I literally, like, I think it's on my bucket list to, like, go to every castle in the UK. Should we just buy a castle and live there? Honestly, I'd love to, but... That's our dream. I walked in there and I was like... Honestly, I was like, eh. Look at all them swords. Look at that. Look at this. Look at that. I know, it's mad, isn't it? it was crazy honestly it was crazy and it was just yeah it was so so special and no my dad will kill me but he did well up and like he doesn't well up I've seen him well up three times in 32 years and a funny story my sister obviously Amy she's literally due on the 21st of Feb and obviously you can only have so many people inside so she waited outside the castle like right at the front till we were done she literally waited out the whole time I said to one of the guys I said, please, can you just try and get her in for a picture outside the castle with my OBE?

8:15It would just make her. I was like, she's literally six weeks off giving birth. Please, please, please. They managed that. They were nice enough to let her in. So I feel like much better that she managed to get a picture. And then before you know it, mum and Amy are doing interviews on TV. And then Amy went, well, what were that for again? I went, oh, you've just been on ITV, love. She went, well, you didn't tell me that. I said, rule number one, always ask who's interviewing you and why are they interviewing you? So she learned a valuable lesson that day. and then on the way out as soon as I got it dad was like where is it?

8:44shall I carry it? I think I should carry it and then when I got in the car to save I went well wait should I just I think I should take it back with me and keep it in my bedroom so it's safe I said it's my OPA I think I'll take it home thank you very much he's like no I think I should take it he like won't let it out he was like where is it? what are you doing with it? oh bless him yeah incredible incredible super cool and congrats to to everybody else that received theirs. Three years later, but better late than never. Right, let's turn our attention to some football. No WSL weekend. So we've picked up a selection of the FA Cup fourth round fixtures to discuss.

9:21And we're going to start with Millie's game. Another 5-0 casual. Talk to me. You scored. Bagsman. Well, you know, I just thought I'd start contributing. Scored with my foot last time. So I thought I'd just knock on them with my head. But no, listen, it was a really, really good game. And I think we expected a really tough game against Palace and they made it really difficult for us. But I think when you keep playing against teams that are in that lower block and kind of playing more of a counter-attacking game, it's something that we've been working on to break down. And again, lots of different scorers, which was nice.

9:57But I think overall, it was a really, really good team performance. And I think we're in a real good place out of that momentum and improving on. From last game, another clean sheet, which makes me very, very happy. But, yeah, we had a really good time, actually. It was one of those really enjoyable games. And Sam come back and scored too. It's nice. I don't know. I always like to follow when people have had a bit of a rough ride with injuries and come back and fly in. So, I bet she was happy getting two goals as well. Yeah, she was buzzing. And I think also when you've been out for that long as well, you just need a little bit of time to get your feet back underneath you and get your mojo back.

10:36But I think she's definitely in full swing of that now. And again, I think it's just credit to the player that she is and the calibre of player that she is to be able to come back after all those months out and kind of pick up where she left off. It's not easy at all. And really, if you look at it, she's not played that many minutes under her belt since returning. So, yeah, I think it's a great addition for us to have her back. And she definitely gives us something different. You know, a post-up number nine, she runs in behind, she's fast, aerial ability, link-up play. like do you know what I mean she pretty much does it all so and she's a fox in the box she's in the box you know she's scoring when she gets that opportunity but really really nice to have her back but yeah I just love playing in the FA Cup I don't know about you but I love it it's such a such a special trophy and competition to play in I know yeah I hate because I obviously couldn't play on the weekend but and I know you'd have scored I know you'd have scored bestie I just think the FA Cup is amazing I actually love that competition so So obviously I won't now get to playing it this season for the first season.

11:39So that's sad. But yeah, good win for you. Hopefully you get a good draw in the next round. Fingers crossed. What about your game? I know obviously it was 2-0 loss, but it was 0-0 at half-time. Yeah, I travelled down with the team. So I was like just sat behind the bench. So I was quite wanted to be in it a little bit, you know, be there for the girls. But it's never easy as it going to Arsenal away. But I thought we played really well. First half, I thought we had a good first half. Ellie Robrock was all unreal, honestly. Took one for the team, didn't she? No, but listen, she, you know, obviously she's had a very difficult few years.

12:14And obviously she's competing with Sabs at Villa, Sabrina D 'Angelo. And it's, you know, it's two world-class goalkeepers. So she hasn't had a whole lot of playing time. But I know she was coming into this game a little bit nervous. And I was like, mate, like your sound, like, you know what you can do. You're such a good goalkeeper. and she made like it just reminded me of like Ellie Roebuck of old you know like when she was I saw that save I don't know whose header it was off the corner but I saw that save I literally the commentators were behind me and I was in front going Ellie Roebuck I was like gasp for her like you know you're just so so happy for someone and she's worked so hard but then when she I think we're getting the best of her back you know I'm excited for her when she took the hit to the head obviously I'm super protective over her what was it that was it a foot or was it a knee yeah so like so she kicked it a goal kick and she slipped so it like drove across the floor and it went to Steena took I think took a heavy touch and then Ellie came out to collect it and then Steena obviously didn't couldn't stop tried to get over jump over Ellie and a stud caught her eye but instantly because her arm went up I was like shit shit it's ahead yeah please please please no I was so worried I was literally texting her boyfriend like because he was there and I was like don't worry like I'm getting everything back from the physios and the docs like I'll keep updating he's so worried bless him it was his birthday but But, you know, yeah, it was really nice to see her play again and enjoy herself and play really, really well.

13:31We played a really good first half. I think second half, we made a couple of changes and, you know, things change around. And I don't think, I don't know, I don't think we really got going. And Arsenal scored, their first goal was a really nice goal. Was that Steiner's goal? Yeah, they worked that really well. Yeah, it was good play that, to be fair. Really, really good play. And then, yeah, again, it's hard, isn't it? It's hard to come back against a top team. at any point. So, yeah, I think, you know, credit to the girls. They had a great first half, first, I'd say, like 50, 60 minutes. Yeah.

14:02Just obviously everyone's absolutely gutted that we can't obviously advance. Tough draw, though, first game in the FA Cup against Arsenal. Very, very tough draw. But lots of positives to take, though. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. 100%. We've got Man United, so that's a big league game for us at home. So, yeah, I'm obviously out for a little while, so I won't be in again for that one. But just trying to be a good support for the girls and even the staff, just trying to be there, even if it's for good vibes and banter, whatever they need me for. I think just trying to be there and help lead from a different way, which is hard.

14:40Because I've never really missed a game. I've always been healthy and always available. So, yeah. But anyway, we'll look at the rest of the results from the fourth round. So Everton beat West Brom 5-0. I think I just want them to be like an underdog so we'll just wait till we get to the underdog I did think Kevin would win that one West Ham Newcastle 3-0 West Ham I actually thought Newcastle started really well in that game and I thought 3-0 was probably not what I was expecting No I'm going to say I didn't expect I probably would have expected Newcastle to tip that I'm not going to lie I thought that would have been one of the results where it would have been the other way around but well done to West Ham And then Sunderland 0-0 London City 1 I thought there'd be a bit of a higher scoreline in that, can't lie.

15:25But again, it'd be interesting to see London City after this break, new manager and everything. Van der Donk made a debut, didn't she? She's back from injury now, so she came on. That's a really good addition for them. I think lots of experience. But again, when you've been out injured, it's whether you can get back to those levels. But hopefully she can for them. And like I said, I think that'll be a great addition. But I agree, I thought it was going to be a higher one. We have got Hull City 2, Birmingham City 6. they absolutely put the goals away and then we've got the big one Charlton Athletic 10 Swindon Town 0 I always feel bad for them big scorelines me do you know what as well I feel it because I've been I've been that team I've been that team and it's bloody hard like it's really really hard remember when we beat Latvia was it Latvia 20-0 or something yeah 20 this is so sad now it was hard to celebrate the goals after like 10 anyway sorry really hard anyway we've got Brighton 2 Notts Forest 0 I mean you'd expect Brighton to they would have been favourites in that result wouldn't they Liverpool 6 London Bees 0 Bristol City 2 Southampton 1 Man United 5 Burnley 0 and then we've got Chatham Town 3 York City 0 and Chatham Town are the lowest ranked team left in the competition into the 5th round for the first time in their history so amazing it's what we love to see this is what we've won that is the magic of the FA Cup magic hopefully we can see them progress even further I love that competition for that reason I love it, I love results like that obviously you've never got any team to lose but you've just made history, that is incredible this is why I love the FA Cup it's so exciting we've then got Oxford United 3, Middlesbrough 1, Oxford United are the only other FA Women's National League side left standing so congratulations to yourselves, keep on progressing, we've got Ipswich Town 1, Sheffield United 2 Bournemouth 0, City 6 They absolutely stormed that.

17:19But again, would have been the favourites going into that. And then we've got Tottenham 3, Leicester City 0. Which I, again, I probably didn't know which way that was going to go. They played back-to-back. It's hard. Like, both times Leicester travelled to Tottenham. And to be fair, Tottenham are in a really good place. But guys, we are recording on a Monday afternoon and the draw doesn't take place until tonight. So keep an eye out for the big fifth-round ties. That's it for the football.

19:16Welcome back to part two of Daily Brightness. We have seen the 2026 is the new 2016 trend on social media and we've decided to get involved too. So Millie and I have picked out three photos each from 2016 to reminisce about today. Obviously you can head to the Daily Brightness Instagram to look at them while we chat. But Millie, you want to kick us off with your first photo? Yeah, my first photo, I believe Don't quote me on this, I might have to find out the stats But I don't know if this was the first time that I played against Doncaster From when I moved to Chelsea And obviously in that picture it's me and Gilly Flaherty And we were back at the keep mode And that was the first time that I'd been back to the keep mode since leaving Donny And I just thought like 2016 it was still early on in my years at Chelsea and it was a really weird moment going back to Keepmoke Stadium in a different kit and playing against a team that I'd been at for many, many years and was like the start of my journey really in like my professional career.

20:17So I picked that one out because I think it's always good to remember where you come from and what got you to where you are today. And Donny was definitely the foundation of my career and my success. But I can't remember if that was the first time I'd played against him or if I'd played him at home. but it was very early on, maybe like the second game. So it was still really weird for me. But yeah, that was my first picture, a little trip down memory lane. Love that. What about yours? Okay, so my first picture is, 2016 was when I got drafted out of university to Houston and that is the manager and the general manager of the team and it was the coolest, most surreal experience going to the draft.

20:56How young you look. I know, look how long my hair is. Also, what am I wearing? I'm gonna come back to that when you finish yeah so I yeah I went to the draft it was in Baltimore um and that was that's something I've never seen before so that was just a really cool experience in the start of a professional journey in America crazy why was it this has always been a question you know with the drafts you'd always used to see it on like social media and everyone always used to dress up for the drafts like what was a draft like like like physically going there like what Yeah, so like you'd literally just sit in, like you'd sign in or whatever and you sit in like a room.

21:30And like, there's not loads of people because you'd go if you were thinking you were going to get drafted high up. Yeah. I had a feeling that I'd get drafted high up based on conversations that I'd had. I didn't know where I was going to go or whatever. So I'm just sat there like in this convention room waiting. And it's like just surreal, like the trade within the draft. So honestly, I'll tell you about it one day, but it's such a surreal experience. But yeah, I went number six. Number six in the first round to Houston. So that was the start of my professional career in America. Go on, the girl.

21:59Right, second picture. Mine is me and my mum and my dad. God, look how young. All I thought about then was me, my mum, my dad and my gran. We're off to war. Hello. Me and me. We'll tell you about that another time or maybe we won't. Maybe it should stay off the record. Anyway, look how young my dad looks and my mum. I know. Your dad looks amazing. No, your mum does. Aren't they beautiful? I think you'd have it up to unreal. Look at him. I know. Go on the hunk. That was, look how high up we are as well. That was one of my favorite little trips. We went down to Devon. And by the way, Devon is one of the most beautiful places in England to go.

22:41When the sun's out and you get the weather good, it's amazing. And we used to go to this spot, the same spot, every time we went down there. And you could walk down the bottom onto that beach, but we always used to stand at the top just for the view. and I remember being right on the edge like shock, Millie stood right on the edge like an idiot, my dad's got a hold of me so I'm not going to fall and then we could see they were like, I think they were loads of little seals, it was like a little cove and they'd always come down and we were just watching them up there but I love little trips like that with my mum and dad and yeah it was a lovely little get away My next picture is my debut for England, I posted on Instagram the other day, I actually scored on my debut for England, of course she did Ellen White was the most unselfish player ever She should have just shot herself But she cut it back to me for a little tapping Imagine you did that on my debut Shut up, it wasn't a little cutback was it I'm going to get that clip I'm going to get that clip and show you It's not that bad It's funny actually because Ellen messaged me When I posted that saying you're welcome But yeah, just a special memory Again, the start of my England journey It's weird that all these starts of these things were in 2016 So yeah, good times Right, my third and final picture Is your debut Really special moment Obviously in this picture My dad I literally remember that I remember that That exact picture Like I remember it live Well me and you coming on At the same time Was like the highlight of it Completely Obviously representing England But like coming on With your best mate Is pretty sick And both coming on up top Then after the game Families couldn't really like Get down Like to get to family There was like A big drop And I just remember My dad just grabbing me And he just Literally grabbed my arms And yanked me up but it was such a special moment and I love that picture like just he was like there's nothing stopping me getting to her like I'm going to literally pull her up I mean luckily he's super strong and I'm not that heavy I don't think anyway but yeah really cool picture and like you said started my England career same as you and yeah kicking it off in fashion that's cool that we started our career at England in the same year my next picture is my brother's wedding day I think it's just quite fitting really it was such a nice look at you both I know yeah I was a bridesmaid for Annabelle which obviously she was a bridesmaid for me so quite a nice little that's cute mini full circle moment but yeah celebrating my brother and Annabelle on that day was just amazing and obviously adding Annabelle to the family and to bring another daily in was a really nice feeling and just seeing how happy they are and the life that they live together now with a beautiful child so yeah it's a special day I love that well we hope you enjoyed our 2016 pictures I actually love that trend I thought it was really cool everyone like reflecting on memories and seeing all like pictures and stuff I really I really really liked it but we hope you liked our pictures now moving on to our favourite two things block and delete and gratitude but first block and delete should we do the ones from the audience first yeah let's go this is from Amy bullies my poor daughter is really struggling right now I don't even need to think about that I don't even want to I don't even want to Expand on that because I hate bullies.

25:47Block. Block, block, block. Delete, delete, delete. Block, block, block. Do better. And also, if your kid's bullying, do better as a parent because it's coming down to educating. Just do better. Everyone do better. Do better. Next. So massive block and delete for that one. The next one's from Tamsin. Every WSL game kicking off at 12 p.m. on a Sunday. I'm kind of in the middle. Same. I'm on the fence. I like 12 p.m. Because. But I know why people don't. And selfishly, I love it because then I actually get a Sunday afternoon, which doesn't ever exist in my life. So I like to get up and go, get the game done, get home.

26:24I actually get a Sunday evening and it's just quite nice to have a little bit of normality on that day. However, I do understand it's a massive inconvenience for fans. And I always then think on the flip side, if you've got like little boys and girls that are playing on a Sunday morning and then you need to try and get to a kickoff, you're not going to be able to. Yeah, it definitely affects attendance and stuff. I do and also if they're all at the same time if you want to watch a couple you can't so I do get the inconvenience but selfishly I quite like this is from Beth did I send this in or I think I think you must have heard Rachel talk about this before this is from Beth people who chew loudly and gulp when drinking it's a big in capital letters block and delete from me well Beth I can absolutely assure you that we both agree this is one of Rachel's biggest biggest biggest pet peeves it's not even a pet peeve it's just it's like a disease I've got in my mind I can't hear these people I'm not using that as my block and delete because I've got some better ones but that that for me really got me and I was like go on then tell me your block and delete my it's actually public transport because after my appointment I had several things coming off that train that I got really annoyed at people talking loudly on phone on the trains yeah I actually do agree with you like I struggle with public transport darling I don't need to know your mum, your sister, your dad and everything that happened in that day and tomorrow and the day after.

27:49People are literally shouting on, or, oh my God, even worse, they have it on loudspeaker. Why? No, that's out of order. That's out of order. They'll be like, yeah, I'll probably be home in about a half an hour. I'm just coming past Croydon now. Like, you don't need to do it. Just put your headphones in and talk quietly or talk normally. Yeah, I think whenever I go down to London, and I was trying to get in the quiet coach. No, that journey did me and that is exactly why I hate public transport. I'd rather drive into London and I did actually try and attempt to drive to my appointment and I realised I didn't set off early enough so then I was going to be late.

28:25Then I was like, oh, I've got to get the train. Yeah, so there's two blocking deletes in that. There's traffic and then there's public transport. What's yours? Mine for this week is spam phone calls. Do you answer phone calls though and then see who it is and then red button or do you just ignore? no, if it's not a number in my phone, I won't answer it. True. But I'm like, what are you ringing me for? How have you got my number? Have you not gone along with some people, though, sometimes when they're ringing up and they're like, hi, I'm just calling from three, and I'm like, yeah, okay. And I take them through the whole information, then I just put the phone down because I'm like.

29:01Someone rang me the other day, and it was an automated call, and I was like, hello? And they were like, hi, add me on WhatsApp. This is my number. Bye. Hung up. I was like, it's automated. I've got a job for you. Add me on WhatsApp. I was like, piss off. Right, on that note, let's go to gratitude because this is my favorite time of the week. Yes, you go first. Kick us off with a banger. So I'm actually grateful for catching up with people yesterday. So I had such a lovely time. I spoke with Leah, Beth, Jill, Alex Scott, like all like people, Alessia, all like people who have like played a part in my England career.
