Speaker 2 (02:13):
Next up. Jesse Jay has genuinely remained pretty hush hush
about her past relationship with Channing Tatum. I mean, if
it was me, I'd be telling anyone who'd listened. Jesse
revealed the savage new song threw it away, so she
opened up hat the lyrics in a recent listening party
in West London, making it pretty clear it's about Channing,
who she dated between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty. She said,

(02:33):
this next song I wrote in twenty twenty with Ryan Tedda,
and you could figure out who I was dating. She
then proceeded to sing about her relationship becoming uncomfortable after
she put her heart on the table. She crooned, but oh,
that karma is going to come one day because they
gave you my love and you threw it away, stick
Around Darling's coming up. All the actions for the Tiktog Awards,

The big winner of the night, Creator of the Year

Speaker 2 (03:45):
And one of the big moments of the night came
when so If You Monk welcomed the one and only
Jonathan Bailey to the stage for a cheeky surprise.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Oh my goodness, everybody, Johanna Bailey, please give him another
round of the walls.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Everyone's obsessed.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
How are you feeling that Wicked?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
The journey's like coming to a little bit of anam Now,
it's it's.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
A sweet but it's it's good to return back to
where it all started. Richard Sidney, Oh he did so. Yeah,
it feels good and it's amazing to be here something.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah, I bet.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
And speaking of Wicked, if you're deep in your Wicked
era and I've already seen a new movie, head on
over to our watch party feed for the episode our
in house superfans have made about it. It's packed with
inside and nuggets and behind the scenes gems. Every oz
obsessed listener needs the links In the show notes, he's
a snippet where the hosts unpack a casting choice that
sparked a surprising amount of buzz for a character who's

(04:38):
barely even in the film.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
There was one casting decision people were talking about so
much in the lead up to this, and that was
who was going to play Dorothy in the film. Not
that it ended up mattering, because you know, they keep
her face hidden, we don't actually get to see her,
but there was so much speculation, so people thought it
could be Alicia Wair Dove Cameron, Mattie Ziegler. People were
saying Taylor Swift like I was like, as if Taylor

(05:00):
Swift's going to come and be Dorothy and Wicked. There
was so much being thrown around about it. Did you, guys,
were you thinking about going to be Dorothy?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
No, definitely not. And I think anyone who loves and
knows Wicked knows that actually Dorothy doesn't really matter. She
is not the central character here, and I know she's
the reference point for the whole of the Wizard of
Oz universe, of which Wicked is a part of. But
if we hark back to the original tagline of Wicked,
a lot happened before Dorothy dropped in.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
That is it for me, darlings. Thanks for hanging out today.
My name is Ashe, London, host and producer of Morning Tea.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of the land.

Speaker 1 (05:53):

and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and
