Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges
the traditional owners of land and borders that this podcast
is recorded on.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Good Morning, Spillers and Happy Monday, and can I say
you are looking decidedly fresh that new moisturizer is working wonders.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
While you were sleeping, I.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Was rounding up the latest entertainment news to make sure
you are the lynchpin of today's group chat.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
I got you.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I'm Ash London and today we've got everything from a
possible royal reunion to a Jenner wedding.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
So let's or the tea. First up.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Justin Bieber just dropped a whopping thirty one point five
million dollars to settle with his ex manager, Scooter Braun,
covering a twenty six million dollar tour advance which Scooter
fronted for his Counsel Justice tour and roughly five and
a half million dollars in back commissions. This payout coincided
perfectly with the release of his seventh studio album, Swag,

(01:18):
which surprised all of us wouldn't dropped on Friday, and
which Braun now ironically calls his most authentic and beautiful
raw work. Yet Scoda discovered Justin on YouTube back in
the day, taking him from like relatively unknown pre teen
with a bowl cut well to Justin Bieber. They parted
ways in twenty twenty three, but it's good to see

(01:40):
that the hatchet may officially be buried, and along with
it any speculation on the state of Haley and Justin's marriage.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
It would now.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Appear that perhaps it was all a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Of smoke and mirrors for the album release.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Either way, I'm just glad that Justin is back to
doing what he does best, making music. Next up, a
potential royal reunion may be in progress between Prince Harry
and the Royal family, with senior aides King Charles and
Prince Harry seen meeting in London near Clarence House. Now
we all know that if they didn't want to be seen,
they could pretty well make sure they weren't seen, so

(02:14):
I think the fact that this happened is very telling.
Those pictured included Meredith Mains, who's Harry's chief communications officer,
leeam Maguire, Harry Meghan's ukp irhead and Tobin Andre Very
Shak name King Charleser's communications secretary. The meeting was informal,
reportedly involving casual drinks.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
And no official agenda.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
In his memoir Spare, Harry accused Prince William of physical
aggression and criticized King Charles's behavior. Harry's royal security was
downgraded in twenty twenty after stepping down from royal duties.
He claimed this raised safety concerns. Harry then lost a
legal appeal in May to reinstate his previous security detail.
But look it, we'd seen that, and I would hope

(02:56):
after King Charles's Canter diagnosis perhaps as a bit of
a softening there, or maybe some room to make amends.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I mean, if anything had just proves that your family
isn't the only one dealing with drama, you know what
I mean, It happens to the best of us. Stick around.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
There's been a genuating and yet more proof that Travis
Kelcey continues to kiss the ground upon which his lady
love walks.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Let's get back into it.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
The Hills alum Brody Jenna has tied the knot at
his mum, Linda Thompson's home in Malibu, marrying Tia Blanco,
who is thirteen years he's junior and who he's been
dating since twenty twenty two.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
They have a daughter together, Honey Ray.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Who was born in twenty twenty three, and honeywore matching
outfits with the bride and sweet Lord.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Even if you have no heart, it will melt it now.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Brody and Caitlyn Jenna have had a strained relationship in
the past, after Brody claimed that his sat of the
family were completely sidelined by Caitlin at the height of
keeping up with the Kardashians fame. Caitlyn surprised everyone though,
by attending the wedding, which was their first time together
at a wedding. Brody revealed Caitlyn had apologized for past absences,

(04:03):
leading to some genuine bonding vibes, which we love to see. Now,
just a quick update on Mom and Dad aka Travis
and Taylor so old mate. Travis was playing a golf
tournament in Nevada over the weekend, looking very spiffy, if
I may add in a watermelon colored polo. So he's
about to hit a tricky shot. He's chatting to the caddy.
He's looking.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't know what he's doing, deciding what club to use.
Is that what they do? Anyways?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Even when the man is on course, browing out, trying
to play some golf.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
He can't escape these kind of reminders. You have the
batgirl friend of the world. You got it. Yeah, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
As far as heckling goes, it's the nice kind of heckling.
And Travis replied with a simple good point to choose
from laughs from fans. I mean, you know it, I
know it, we all know it. I'm just glad that
Travis knows it too. And finally, some sweet baby news
to cap off the Morning. Bachelor alumni Mattie j and
media megastar Laura Byrn have revealed the name of their

(05:01):
upcoming third daughter. Now expectations are high, given their six
year old is called Marley May sick name and their
four year old is Lola badass name. Well, what do
we think in Moonbeam, Peaches, Hesephone.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Actually like those names.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I might keep them for my list, bet Alas they're
planning to name their third child Poppy.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Love it ten out of ten.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Not in my opinion matters, but in the case that
it does, well done legends And of course we wish
Laura all the health and happiness in the world for
the rest of her pregnancy. Good on you, Darling, Well,
