Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to Amma 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, Spillers and Happy Monday.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I hope your weekend was as hectically wonderful as the
new Happy Gilmore film like bizarre but oddly satisfying. I'm
a London ready to fill you in on everything that's
happened in the big bad world of celebrity news while
you were getting your beauty sleep.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
By the way, you look amazing, so well done you.
Let's pour the tea.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Destiny's Child have shocked fans by finally reuniting on stage
for the first time in seven years at Beyonce's final
Cowboy Carter tour stop. During Drunken Love, there was a
bit of a breakdown and then neck minute Michelle and
Kelly appeared.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
To rapturous applause.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Queen Bee gave the people what they were asking for.
Also in the crowd was Chris Jenna, Chloe Kardashian, and
Oprah Winfrey, which is pretty much my dream dinner party,
especially if Destiny's Child are the entertainment ten out of
ten no notes, so we were all wondering what Astronomer
we're going to do next. That's the company at the
center of the coldplane cheating scandal. So both the CEO

(01:53):
and the head of HR have now.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Left the company. So I was kind of thinking, well,
what are they going to do?

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Were they going to sweep it all under the rug
and move on or are they going to capitalize on
the attention. Well, they've kind of done both with one
viral video reminding people kind of what they do and
the fact that they're keen to move on and get
back to work. But it's their choice of host for
the video that has everyone talking. The aaddes voice by
none other than Chris Martin's ex Gwyneth Paltrow.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. I've been hired on a very
temporary basis to speak on behalf of the three hundred
plus employees at Astronomer. Astronomer has gotten a lot of
questions over the last few days and they wanted me
to answer the most common ones.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
So then the first question that comes up on the
computer screen is OMG, what the actual f and then
Gwyneth goes on to answer that question.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run apatche airflow,
unifying the experience of running data mL and AI pipelines
at scale. We've been thrilled so many people have a
newfound interest in data workflow automation.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
The second question that comes up on the screen, how
is your social media team holding up?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
And this is Gwyneth's response.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yes, there is still room available and are beyond analytics
event in September. We will now be returning to what
we do best, delivering game changing results for our customers.
Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
That is how it's done.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I mean, I still don't really understand what Astronomer do,
but I think they've absolutely They've hired some creative agency
and they've absolutely nailed it. This is like crisis pr
management one oh one ten out of ten.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
No notes, Hey, stick around.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
We've got an update for one of my favorite celebrity
couples after this, Krishelle Stous and g Flip selling sunsets
are Krishelle Stous and Ossie Singer g Flip already tied
the knot in Vegas back in May twenty twenty three.
The couple met on G's video shoot and they have

(04:00):
been inseparable ever since, but this time they've actually gotten
married again in front.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Of friends and family.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
So the couple rented out a legit castle in Is
and if I'm honest, it kind of looks more like
they're wearing costumes as opposed to outfits. But I'm here
for the drama of it. So Krishelle looks like a
medieval princess and a long, white flowing gown and g
played the role of dashing night kind of like old
medieval prints outfit with the sword on their back.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
It was so wonderful and so fantastic.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Krishelle uploaded a picture of the invitation to her Instagram
account with the caption lots of game merriment to happen
later today, good luck to the newlyweds. I am obsessed
with this couple. I love you guys all the best.
And finally, Ed Sheeran has sat down with Tara Brown
on sixty Minutes ahead of his Loopworl tour, which comes
to OZ early next year, with some very sobering admissions

(04:52):
about the cost of fame when you have a family.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
If it's things that people don't really even like take
into account, like kidnap, threats like that that we've had
attempted breakings and people coming with whatnot that are found
in their current and stuff like that. Like it's it's
way more sinister than fans standing up and wanting selfies.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
So that must change you then, just how you view life,
how you lead your life.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, I mean, we have a level of security that
just probably won't change until I pass away.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Ed went on to say that while he absolutely doesn't
mind having pictures with fans, he draws the lines at
fans taking pictures of his children, which is absolutely fair enough.
Ed married his childhood sweetheart Cherry back in twenty nineteen
and they've got two daughters. I speci to him last
week and he actually mentioned that he does the school runs.
He saves his gigs for the weekend so he can
be a dad during the week, which is so wonderful

(05:46):
And of course we can't wait to see him next year. Well,
