Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and borders
that this podcast is recorded on.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Good morning, darlings, have you Tuesday, the sixteenth of September,
Ash London here with you and I'm ready to spill
some tea, get you up to date with everything that's
been going down now. The Girls and the Spill are
going to be doing an Emmy's Deep dive a little
later in the day in your feeds around three pm.
But I'm going to give you some of my favorite
historical Emmys moments from the past, plus I tink give

(00:53):
it of what's been going on around the world for
your entertainment news. Let's get into it first up. Calvin Harris,
the Scottish DJ and music producer, has accused his longtime
financial advisor, Thomas Saint John that sounds like a fancy
count name, of stealing twenty two point five million dollars
to fund a failed real estate project in Hollywood. Now,

(01:13):
the development was supposed to have recording studios off of
Spakes Landers for artists, but now the twenty two mill
is gone and there's no development. Awkward Now it is
Prince Harry's forty first birthday today. I cannot believe he's
forty one. In my mind, he's still like eighteen years old.
But I digress. For his birthday, his wife, Megan, the

(01:35):
Duchess of Sussex, has put a pretty relatable post up
on Instagram. So she's put a photo of him in
his army combat outfit from when he's been flying planes
in the sky, and she's written the simple caption, oh
high birth, dear boy with a fire emoji. Now it's
not very royal or fancied or but it is very
relatable because he does look I mean, damn good. Next up,

(01:57):
Sophia for Gara is always a red cup at highlight
at any award show. She's the highest paided potentially the
hottest woman I've ever seen on TV. At the Emmys,
and there was some head scratching as to where she
was yesterday. Well, she took her Instagram to an hour
due to a medical emergency. She actually ended up in
the er. She put a pickup of her in full
hair and makeup with a swollen eye. Turned out she'd

(02:18):
had an allergic reaction. But she's okay. Now stick around.
I'm going to exeg a look back at some of
our favorite Emmys moments from the past when we return,
as we get ourselves ready for the spills deep dive
of yesterday's awards. First up, the twenty eleven Emmys for

(02:38):
Best Actress in a Comedy Series. One of the greatest
comedic bits of all time happened on stage as soon
as they announced Amy Pohl as the first nominee. Now,
usually everyone stays in their chairs and they clap nicely,
but in this particular instance, Amy gets up, walks onto
the stage and kind of stands there as if it
was Miss America up nervously. She was then joined by
Melissa McCarthy Edie Falco, and then before we knew it,

(02:59):
all six nominees were standing there arm in arm, waiting
for the winner to be announced. Robblo, who was presenting
the award, even joined in on the bit.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
You want to say, girls, everyone is a winner, and
I know that you're going to go on to serve
this body with distinction, and the anny goes to Melissa McCarthy.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I'm hilarious too. Sad, there wasn't a dry eye in
the house. Back in twenty fourteen, as Billy Crystal took
to the stage at the end of the in Memorium
segment to pay tribute to his friend, the incredible Robin Williams.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Because they float in the heavens so far away from
us now, the beautiful light will continue to shine on
us forever, and the glow will be so bright it'll
warm your heart, it'll make your eyes glisten, and you'll
think to yourselves, Robin Williams, What a concept.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
In twenty twenty three, Christi the Adprogate took to the
stage after her multiple sclerosis diagnosis. Receiving a standing ovation
from the adoring crowd. She took the opportunity to have
a bit of a lull at her own expense. Thank
you so much.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh my god, you're totally shaming me. Just believe by
standing up. It's fine, okay it.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Speaking of favorite lolls, Ricky Gervais on stage, poking fun
at Steve Carrell, who just sat there deadpan every time
at Ricky referred to him.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's where is he? Where is he? Oh? There the
front row.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
It's just just in case you have to make a
dash for it.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Have you got it on you?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I've heard you carry around with you to get in
restaurants and stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
I made you what. Don't look me? I'm gone off road.
Everyone's getting nervous now there's nothing on your Oku. I
could do anything. This is live.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well that's it for me. My laves with the gals
going to be in your feeds at three pm with
the spill for your entertainment. Deep Dive Morning Tea is
hosted and produced by me Ash London with you executive
