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 (00:30):
The Good Morning Spillers and Happy Tuesday. How are you feeling,
How you doing? How did you sleep? What did you
dream about? Was it a sexy dream about?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Who? Really love to hear it? My name is Ashlandon
and I am so.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Ready to pure some tea with your baby while you
were getting that beauty sleep. I have in truly the
Internet to get every little morsel of celebrity news and
information for you.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Let's get into it.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
First up, congratulations are in order of one of the
biggest DJs on the planet, and of course I have
to mention it miss Taylor Swift X. Calvin Harris and
his wife vic Hope have given birth to their first child, a.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Little boy called Micah.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
He brought a gorgeous photo up on Insta with the
caption twentieth of July our boy arrived. Micah is here,
he said. My wife is a superhero and I am
in complete awe of her primal wisdom. Just so grateful.
We love you so much, Micah.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
So beautiful. Congrats to the new mom and Dad.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Next up, Beyonce fans are speculating the release of Act
three of Our album following her latest Levi's campaign and
the end of the Cowboy Carter tour. Now this is
going to sound a little complicated, but try and stay
with me, because online sleuth members of the Beehive have
sniffed out some clues within the Levi's campaign. So she's

(01:49):
uploaded three parts to the video. The first two show
previous Levi's campaigns, and the latest one begins with the
words the smoke with a time card reading nine oh
four that flashes before Beyonce kind of goes into this poolhole.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Now, this is why it's meaningful.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
The date September four holds a big significance to Beyonce
is it's also her forty fourth birthday. Then she rides
off on a motorbike and in previous Installmancy rode off
on a horse. So the solict to saying, maybe this
means we're getting a rock album or a rock and
roll album as opposed in what country, which is what
we've had in this Beyonce era.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
And maybe she's.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Dropping it on her birthday, or maybe we're all reading
too much into it and none of it's true.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
As always, time will tell.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
But stick around in my love as Because another big
star has weighed in on the Sydney Sweeney good jeans controversy.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I'll tell you about it when we're back.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
If you're not across the Sydney Sweeney controversy, well, she's
appeared in an American Eagle denim campaign with a caption
Sydney Sweeney has good genes, which a lot of people
interpreted as well, it's a little bit racist.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
So a lot has happened since then.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
First of all, it's come out that Sydney Sweeney is
a registered.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Republican, which is of course her prerogative.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Well, Donald Trump has now publicly announced that funny enough,
Funnily enough, he loved the campaign since learning that she's
a member of his party. And look, in the current climate,
I'm not sure any kind of famous celebrity wants to
have Donald Trump as a fan of theirs.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
But hey, it doesn't end there.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Lizzo is now having a bit of a loll She's
now uploaded a picture of herself in double denim with
the caption if the Democrats had won the election, and
the logies may have just happened, but another prestigious award
was handed out last night.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I'm talking about the winner.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Of Dancing with the Stars Australia, which has just been
crowned Kyle Shilling, who you probably know from playing Miley
Hudson on Home and Away. He actually made history playing
the show's first ever indigenous male character.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well now Kyle has.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Taken home the coveted mirror Ball Trophy with dance partner
Lily Cornish after a performance that included him playing the didgeridoo.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Live judge Helen called.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
It one of the best performances she's ever seen on
any series of the show.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
He's beaten out the likes.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Of Sean macrla fhe listening ward at, Trent Kotchen, Michael
Usher and Brittany Hockley to shimmy his way to the top.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Good one, your Kyle.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
My big question now is where he's going to keep
the trophy because you know, like oscars are small, people
could put them in the bathroom, but the old mirror.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Balls is a bit big. Who knows.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
