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 3 (00:32):
Happy Monday.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
You absolute ten out of ten? Are you ready to
show this week who's boss? I'm cheering you on, baby,
Let's do it. Ash London here and I am ready
to spill some morning tea with you. On today's episode,
we've got Liam Paynes what would have been Liam Payne's
thirty second birthday, a cancer update from one of our
most beloved Ossie actresses, and an apology from Snoop Dogg. So,

(00:55):
without further ado, let's get into it first up. I mean,
we all saw it coming, but now that Naked Gun
has hit cinemas and had its box office debut making
double its budget back in revenue already, a source close
to the film has said the romance between Liam Neeson
and Pamela Anderson that we saw all over red carpets

(01:16):
and junkets was actually a pr fomance. I am personally devastated.
I feel robbed, I feel cheated, but I feel absolutely unsurprised.
Let's be honest, but here's what I'm thinking now that
the pressure is off and we're not all watching. Maybe
a romance will blossom, or maybe that's just wishful thinking. Anyway,
some sad news and next up. So Liam Payne's girlfriend

(01:38):
Kate Cassidy has commemorated what would have been Liam's thirty
second birthday by baking him a cake. She captured the
emotional clip set to Massi's Stars Fade into You. Happy Birthday, Liam,
I know you still have the sweetest tooth in heaven.
I tried my best here, but it's the thought that
counts enjoy and it does look like a very delicious

(01:59):
birthday cake. Next month will be a year since Liam
passed away at a hotel in Buenos Aires, loved and
missed by so many fans around the world, who will
no doubt be celebrating his birthday today. Maga Zamadski has
shared an update on her cancer buttle, sending a video
of thanks to an eleven year old girl who shared
her best Sharon Stressley impersonation with the stuff Oh there.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, this is a special shout out to the little
ten year old Annabella Willis in Adelaide. I just wanted
to say, darling, thank you so much for your impressionation
of Sharon's Trizliki. I'm in here having chemo and it
really cheered me up and I'm very touched and that

(02:41):
was a beautiful thing to do. Thank you, my sweet.
Lots of love to you Byner and lots of love
to you all.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Bye. Magda was diagnosed with cancer after a routine breast
check in May five and no doubt every Australian is
cheering her on as she undertakes her chemo and as
always a sober reminder to all of us to get
our breast check regularly, to take care of our health.
If something's up, if something's not quite right, make sure

(03:08):
you have to get doctor. We love you, Sharon stick
around and coming up with snoop issues and apology and
Taylor's new bestie It's not me Unfortunately. Taylor Swift has
made a star studded appearance at Brittany Mahomes cowboy themed
thirtieth birthday celebration in Nashville on August twenty nine, Just

(03:28):
Dave's after announcing her engagement to Travis. Now, Brittany is
married to Travis's teammate Patrick Mahomes, easily one of the
most famous footballers on the planet and my gut tells
me we might be seeing a whole lot more of
Taylor and Brittany as their friendship blossoms. The extravagant weekend
began with Britney boarding a private jet adorned with Neon
pink and orange balloons. Taylor joined her at an outdoor restaurant,

(03:50):
casually dressed and sitting beside Brittany for the birthday lunch.
What a Vibe And Finally. Snoop Dogg recently caused outrage
on a podcast when he told the following story about
being caught off guard watching the New light Year film
with his grandchild.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I took my grandsign to see or.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Not that one, but the new buzz The light Year.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
I think Kiky Palmers in that movie. She plays like
the daughter.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
So we're watching.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
It and the lady, which is Kiky's mama, they move
on into the space. Hears they moved down the line.
They're like, then she had a baby? What a woman?
Or my grandson in the middle of the movie, like,
Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman?
She a woman? Oh shit, I didn't come in for

(04:42):
this show. I just came and watching goddamn movie. Hey,
man watch the movie. Uh uh, they just said she
and she had a baby. They both women. How does
she have a baby? Movie and over, So it's like this,
fuck me, I'm scared to go to the movies. Then
like y'all throwing me in the middle of shit that
I don't have an answer for. Well.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Unsurprisingly, the backlash was swift and now Snooper has offered
the following comment on his socials. He said, I was
just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons.
All my gay friends know what's up. They've been calling
me with love. My bad for not knowing the answers
for a six year old. Teach me how to learn.
I'm not perfect. Well, that is your Morning Tea for now.

your feeds at three pm with the spill for an
entertainment deep dive. Now, don't forget. The first episode of
