1:31Hello everyone, welcome to Daily Brightness before we get into our little check-ins I hope you all enjoyed having Rach back on the pod as much as I did

1:40Rachel Daly:Bestie, are you glad to be back? I'm glad to be back I think when I watched it back last week I got really tired and I was like, hmm, I need to fix up for next week I think it was obviously going back into training and yeah, getting my life back on track again so yeah, I'm ready, back ready again this week Happy to be back, happy to be talking with you and giving the listeners a little bit more insight on us. We love doing it, don't we? Mills, what have you been up to? I saw you were at the Fury fight. How was it? Unreal. I think that's been one of the best nights ever. Do you know what it is?

2:13When you play sport, you don't get to experience anything as a fan. So you don't get to understand, like people always say, oh, the atmosphere. And as a player versus, or as an athlete versus a fan, it's completely different. I mean, I love boxing anyway. I love Tyson. I think he's, well, he is the Gypsy King. He's unbelievable. But I think he's not only a fantastic boxer, but a great entertainer. And honestly, for me, the walkouts are just, I'm just there like this. Oh my God, this is sick. The whole stadium was just bouncing and cheering and everyone was in sync with the songs. But yeah, some incredible fights, to be honest.

2:52Conor Benn's fight was class. Tyson's fight was class. And yeah, I'm really wanting to see AJ Tyson. So get on the dotted line, get it signed. Let's have it. Yeah, it's funny because I don't really like boxing.

3:05Rachel Daly:Like I don't really like fighting. I think it's just what you're doing. Why are you punching the shit off each other? I can appreciate it as a sport, but I just, I can't really get into it. Everyone's like, you're watching the fight. I'm like, no, I'm going to bed. But that being said, I absolutely love Tyson Fury. and I just started his second season, I think his second season of his documentary on Netflix and I absolutely, like that family life is mad. Like it's so funny. So I do really like Tyson. I like all the Fioris to be fair. I like Tommy as well. But I think, yeah, fighting's just not, I just don't, every time someone gets hit, I'm like, ah, don't eat him.

3:44Bestie, I love it. I love UFC as well. I love UFC. The only thing I've never really got into is Bare Knuckle. I've never really got into that, but I love it. it's so sick

3:53Rachel Daly:and I also think most of boxing they all just hug each other and I'm like how do you know wins they just all have a rest and like cuddle up to each other I'm like what's happening oh bestie that's cute stop cuddling that is essentially what they're doing either time wasting or getting a breather but anyway more on to you with the golf bin on the Masters did you watch no I find watching golf really hard I think I don't matter like I like it when they're on the green and you can watch it get to the green and like that's exciting but all the bits in between I find it harder but I love obviously love playing golf I think when the Masters is on you're more like inclined to go and play golf like everyone loves to get out and play golf it's always the way in it World Cup's on everyone's out playing football but yeah another big win for Rory again he's a joke though I actually really really really like him I think he's such a good golfer but no I didn't really watch it I can't lie did you I think I fell asleep.

4:52We had it on, but I've definitely passed out. I don't think it's something that keeps me awake, to be honest. So yeah, like you said, probably prefer playing it to watching it. Yeah, moving on to the sport we actually know a lot more about, football. Obviously, on our last episode, we touched on the call-ups and obviously previewing the World Cup qualifiers coming up. What are your thoughts? What are your feelings?

5:15Rachel Daly:I mean it's a tough one isn't it because I think anytime you're in a group with Spain and you have to top the group to go through automatically you're always in a bit of a tough spot but honestly like I know England Germany over the years has been one of those games it's like historical England Germany but I think in the women's game we've kind of created that with Spain I don't know what you think but I feel like we've created that like rivalry with Spain where it's just like obviously the World Cup final and you know the Yoros and stuff I just feel like it's that kind of like a bit of a rivalry I guess I don't really know any other word but it's a tough tough game really tough game for them to play on Tuesday but I think England I think they'll edge it but I think the group is quite tough considering you have to like finish top to qualify yeah I definitely agree I think that has become the new the new rivalry I think that is the word you know because every time that fixture comes out everyone's discussing it it's all eyes on us but yeah I think just for the viewers as well obviously We are recording this episode on Monday, the night before the Spain game.

6:16We know it will be played, so we will discuss it properly on the next step and we'll do a full debrief on that. But yeah, just previewing and giving our thoughts just to give you a heads up on that. I think it's going to be exciting. I think if you look at individuals as well, I think there's a lot of players that are in probably the best form that they've been in. Let's take Alessia, for example. I personally think she's the best number nine in the world right now. I think there's many players on both teams that are in their peak performance. So I think we're going to probably get the best version of this fixture.

6:47Rachel Daly:I agree with Alessia, I think. Well, I don't agree with Alessia. I agree with you about Alessia. I absolutely agree. I think she's the best number nine in the world. I think she has been for quite a while. Yeah. And she's one of those players that you always knew she was going to get to that point. But it's, you know, she's kind of, I think for me, she's kind of solidified that now. I'm excited to see Jess Park, you know, because I think she's had a really good season for United. And I want to see her play more consistently for England. I want her to grow into the England shirt. I'm excited to see her play.

7:14Rachel Daly:But yeah, I'm excited for the Spain game. Obviously, those of you that don't know, the game against Iceland will mark the Lionesses' 500th international match, which that's crazy when you think about it like that, isn't it? It's mental. That is absolutely... I think whether you're a part of that group at the minute or you've been a Lioness, once you're a Lioness, you're always a Lioness, that is a spectacular achievement and moment. and yeah, I think a lot needs to be spoken about it because it is incredible. Like 500, that is ridiculous. Like it's crazy. Looking back on like your career at England, like apart from the Euro finals, what was your favourite game to play in?

7:51Rachel Daly:Ooh. Do you know which game stands out? I don't know why, it's just come straight to my head. I wonder if you're going to say the same as me. There's two that comes to mind. There's one where you scored and I scored and we celebrated for your dad and that was like the start of me scoring for England. I can't remember what, what was the game? What was the opponent? I can't remember. Oh my God, my memory's terrible. I honestly cannot remember. It was that place, I'll tell you where it was. Wherever it was, it was when we went and had them churros with Zellie. They were banging. And all that chocolate sauce went on, all the shoes.

8:30Shout out to Katie Zellum. She's the only one that wanted to go and get churros with us. She was like, girls, can we go and get some? I need some sweet and sugary. we were like yeah we're down 100 % let's go

8:39Rachel Daly:what would yours be that was obviously one that was in the back of my mind because it was special in terms of like personal reasons but I think do you want to know what game I really really enjoyed Nigeria in World Cup the last World Cup oh my god how hard was that game I've never honestly I've never been more tired after a game of football in my life I was thinking holy shit we're at the start of the tournament oh fuck honestly and obviously that was the game that LJ got sent off weren't it so I think it's historical for me because I'm like we had to fight tooth and nail to win that game literally obviously it went 120 minutes they are so physical like as a defender as well we were sprinting keeping up with them they were so fast so strong it was just exhausting I just remember finishing that game after the penalties and I just laid out I was like I am absolutely toast right now and then we had to play Australia on their home soil.

9:37Yeah, I know. That was incredible though. I know we didn't get the outcome but I think for looking back on the tournament, like some of the best moments, like I think personally and together, I think honestly some of the best, like where we've dug deep, we've got through it and it's like... I feel like we're just epitomised England in that game.

9:56Rachel Daly:Yeah, 100%, 100%. And also like, yeah, just showing character, like being down to 10 men, you know, like... It was hot as well, weren't it? I don't know. I just feel like going to penalties, extra time. I don't know. There was something about that. I just thought that was a really, really hard match. And I always go back to that. It's the hardest game I've ever played in life. A hundred percent. I think it was one of those games as well where normally in games, we were like, yeah, obviously you'd say certain players could get a beating on someone because they're fast or they're stronger than them or whatever.

10:29But that was a team where they were fast in every single position they were strong in every single position and we were looking at each other like, all right, we need to figure out a different way to score. We can't just isolate a full back.

10:41Rachel Daly:No, I remember because I was obviously playing left wing back and then obviously because we was down to 10 men, I think when extra time, I was on the wing and I was like, you're moving me up to the wing now. I'm like, my calf is going to go in a minute. And then I had to take it from there. I remember thinking, walking up to this penalty, I was like, do not cramp, do not cramp, do not cramp. Because honestly, about 10 minutes before, I was like, I can't make that run. done yeah 100 % and we don't get that exposure we don't we don't get to play against you know those opponents on a regular basis so when you play him it like it's your face a little bit and you're like oh we're not used to this like we're not we can normally get the better teams or better positions but yeah they were honestly the hardest game I've ever played in in my life yeah same and I think that's for me why I thought that that stands out for me as like one of my favorite games because it was just like yeah usually when games are like that hard they don't always go your away but I was like we slugged for that win so good but yeah really excited for the Spain game we will be seeing what happens have you been paying attention to the WSL too because it is heating up I feel like if you blink it changes direction of who's going to go where because like yeah Charlton were on top next thing I know Blues were on top I was like what where who's where but it is exciting I think obviously with the top two already going up and then the third team get a chance to go up to the WSL1 it's like that is it's exciting but I also think it's one of those like when you think about it from a WSL1 side like it's a it's a tough place to go like you're going away you've got to play away to play against that team your your defeated mindset because you're like oh we're bottom of this league like we could get relegated then you flip it and then the championship team is going hang on a minute we've got a massive chance to get up here we're at home fired up we've done well to get a third so I'm intrigued I'm very intrigued but I do think that the league is really tight yeah it's super exciting everyone that I spoke to I actually saw something I think I saw a tiktok and it was someone saying like I hope everyone's paying just as much attention to the WSL 2 as they are WSL 1 because and I was looking through all like the stats of it and like how people had interchanged how tight the title race was and I was like oh my god like it is and you always keep one eye on on the league anyway I think it's interesting.

12:57I always want to know what Newcastle are doing. They're a new team. They obviously were wanting promotion. I think it's good to know teams that are coming up, but everyone's in the mix. Crystal Palace, Newcastle back in the mix, Birmingham in there. It's exciting. I think it's really, really good for the game. And I also think that league's developed so much, which is super important.

13:17Rachel Daly:Yeah, and I think you can tell the standard of that league because a lot of players that were in the WSL 1 are more open to go to WSL 2 now. And it's definitely exciting. My take would be, I think Birmingham and Charlton will get automatic promotion. I'd like to see Newcastle edge it, but I feel like Palace will edge it. Just on how it's going at the minute. But do you think it's fair, like a one-off game to get up? It's unusual because it's hard to say yes or no, because we've never known anything different. So it's like, how would you do that then? Because obviously the reason behind it is they're wanting to grow our league, WSL 1, they're wanting to expand.

13:52so my question then would be is how would you do that how would you incorporate an extra team coming into it how how would you do that if it weren't a one-off game like well i would say maybe

14:07Rachel Daly:yeah but like one game do you think i feel like it should be at least maybe two legs venue neutral venue i i completely agree with neutral venue and then i'd possibly say two legs yeah Because I just feel like, like I just said then, the team in the WSL, they're obviously like, oh, we're at the bottom of the league. Obviously, you've got to switch your mindset. But naturally, your mentality is a bit lower. Whereas a championship team coming up, they're fired up. I just think to make it more fair, it should either be two legs or one leg at a neutral venue. I don't see it's fair that someone gets a home game.

14:43Yeah, I don't think there should be a home game. Absolutely not. It has to be a neutral. It's like having a final. Imagine the FA Cup weren't played at Wembley, and it was played at one of the home grounds. That's not fair.

14:54Rachel Daly:Well, that's what I'm saying. It wouldn't happen, would it? I'm all for giving that game. I'm not sure if two legs is... I don't know. I don't know what I would do, but I know that for sure, I don't think it's fair that it's at somebody's home ground. I really don't. I don't either. But right, we're going to take a quick break.

16:47Rachel Daly:Hello and welcome back to the second part of Daily Brightness. We like to talk about our Inspector Gadgets and Gratitude and Block and Delete and I think we can go into a little bit more detail this week. So we're going to start with Inspector Gadget. Last week you didn't really have one Bestie, so please tell me you've come up with something good this time around. Bestie, I do have a gadget actually, thank you very much. It just arrived yesterday, I've got it. But just before that, all I had in my head then was you were like, we can go into something, I was going to like, we like to drink with Rachel, because Rachel is our mate.

17:19Anyway, sorry. Rachel, she does a drink in eight, seven, six, five. Frickin' heck bestie. What's that, a gallon of water? You asked me that last week, it's the same thing. Sorry, it just makes me laugh. Bigger than your bloody head, love. Hydrate kids. My gadget this week... Have you seen these? Do you know what it is?

17:44Rachel Daly:No. This, it sticks on the back of your phone. I can't stick it on the back of my phone because I've not set it up properly. And you can basically slap your phone on any, like, on a wall, on a mirror, on a window. Oh, yeah. I've seen... One of the young girls on my team had one of them. At first, I'm like, I'm never going to use that. Look at it. I tell you what, Kirsty Hansen had one, right? And she was in the gym. and I was like, right, give me that. So I got her phone. I got her phone and I just stuck it on top of something. So she could, like, it was like on top of a locker so she couldn't see it.

18:17Rachel Daly:And she was like, where's my phone? Looking around for ages for a photo. I could see her looking for it. I was thinking, I'm going to have to tell her anyway. She's going to get phased. And I was just like, why, but it doesn't fall down, you know, and you stick them on and you think, oh, what's wrong with her? Not like me to be a prankster bestie. Not like you, Rachel Daly. but yeah I'm you know hopefully might be doing some more content soon can't tell you too much you might see you might not but yeah got my little gadgets why have you not got me one might be in delivery already amazon might be delivering it well you better get on amazon after this because I know you aren't doing it you liar thanks a lot rachel my gadget this week and it's so stupid it's not really a gadget but But you know when it's like you think, oh, like an electronic device or something like that, you're going to think I'm such an absolute loser.

19:09Basically, in my laundry room, I've got someone to come in and put plugs,

19:15Rachel Daly:plug sockets above the counter because the plug sockets were below for the dryer and they can't get to it because the dryer blocks it. So the plug sockets are above it. And now I've got a little mini ironing board. And so when it comes out of the dryer, I can just get it straight on ironing board because we've got plugs there. So I know it's not really a gadget, but the electronic system is just chef's kiss. Honestly. That is a gadget. It makes my life so much easier. God, I love it. I can't even tell you. That is actually a really good gadget. How nice is that when you get a t-shirt or something out of the dryer and then you just quickly give it an iron so you don't have to go, let me get the ironing board out.

19:50Right. Well, I need a picture because I need to know how big the iron is and ironing board. Is it like really cute?

19:55Rachel Daly:No, my iron is my iron, but the ironing board is like, and it sits on the counter. that's dead cute I like that bestie I know it's perfect right I'll send all my ironing up to you then perfect perfect perfect perfect perfect oh there she goes again guzzling do you like ironing? yeah it's therapeutic same so many people hate it I mean don't get me wrong if you've got I would understand if you've got like four kids and your ironings are piled up like here but I find it really therapeutic the only thing that does my head in is bedding do you iron bedding though heading is bedding heading is bedding I'm not ironing bedding oh my god yeah do you not oh that annoys me that's a red flag that is an absolute why is it a red flag to me why is it a red flag because when you walk up to your bed when you walk into your bedroom yeah at night do you not think oh my nice my nice fresh bedding on there all freshly ironed crisp yeah no you don't because if you don't iron it it's not fresh and crisp is it yeah but if you put it in the washer put it in the dry machine take it out and then make sure it's hung over something where it can dry straight.

21:04It's straight. I turn a blind eye to it. It's never the same, Bessie. I can't. I can't. I don't have the patience dealing with those crumped up corners. I can't deal with it. And they're flinging off the ironing board. Do you know what I've been doing, actually,

21:15Rachel Daly:what I did last time? Yeah, see? Life hack. What I did last time. Put it on. Got it out of the dryer. Put the bedding on the bed sheet. Put the duvet in. Put the bed sheet on, right? Put duvet in. And I ironed it on the bed, like with the bed in. I don't think that's not safe. That's not safe. No, it's quick whiz over. Perfect. Trust me, I'll send you a picture if you want. I like that hotel standard. Well, I'm not ironing my damn bed in. My clothes will never be creased, but my bed in, whatever. I'm shocked. I'm actually shocked. I'm actually really disappointed in you. Don't, because you're going to make me want to iron bed in.
