1
00:00:10,614 --> 00:00:15,254
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges

2
00:00:15,334 --> 00:00:18,134
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast

3
00:00:18,214 --> 00:00:19,054
Speaker 1: is recorded on.

4
00:00:22,574 --> 00:00:22,774
Speaker 2: Hi.

5
00:00:22,894 --> 00:00:26,254
Speaker 1: I'm Claire Murphy. This is Mumma MIA's twice daily news podcast,

6
00:00:26,254 --> 00:00:29,614
Speaker 1: The Quikie. Last year, we heard the Jeff Bezos and

7
00:00:29,614 --> 00:00:32,334
Speaker 1: his fiance Lawrence Sanchez were planning to tie the Knot

8
00:00:32,334 --> 00:00:35,454
Speaker 1: in Venice, Italy. The price tag back then it was

9
00:00:35,494 --> 00:00:39,094
Speaker 1: reported to be costing them six hundred million dollars US. Now,

10
00:00:39,134 --> 00:00:41,294
Speaker 1: those sky high claims have since been refuted by the

11
00:00:41,334 --> 00:00:44,614
Speaker 1: Amazon founder himself, but that doesn't mean this won't be

12
00:00:44,894 --> 00:00:48,254
Speaker 1: a very expensive party. Today we'll find out all the

13
00:00:48,294 --> 00:00:50,654
Speaker 1: details about one of the biggest weddings of the year

14
00:00:50,854 --> 00:00:53,254
Speaker 1: as the rest of us scrambled to afford rent this week.

15
00:00:53,614 --> 00:00:56,014
Speaker 1: But first, here's the letters from the Quikie newsroom. Wednesday,

16
00:00:56,094 --> 00:00:59,974
Speaker 1: June twenty five, US President Donald Trump expressed his frustration

17
00:01:00,054 --> 00:01:03,334
Speaker 1: with both Israel and Iran breaking the ceasefire agreement. He

18
00:01:03,454 --> 00:01:06,934
Speaker 1: broke it, even dropping their word while speaking with reporters.

19
00:01:07,534 --> 00:01:11,254
Speaker 1: You know what, we basically have two crews have been

20
00:01:11,294 --> 00:01:14,334
Speaker 1: fighting so long and so hard that they don't know

21
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:17,734
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Do you understand that Israel accused Iran

22
00:01:17,774 --> 00:01:21,094
Speaker 1: of launching missiles into its airspace. After both sides confirmed

23
00:01:21,134 --> 00:01:23,334
Speaker 1: they had agreed to the yet to be revealed terms

24
00:01:23,334 --> 00:01:27,694
Speaker 1: of the truce and accusation, Iranian authorities deny. Israeli Prime

25
00:01:27,734 --> 00:01:30,814
Speaker 1: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later said that a talk with President

26
00:01:30,854 --> 00:01:35,254
Speaker 1: Trump stopped them from undertaking tougher strikes on Iran in retaliation.

27
00:01:35,694 --> 00:01:38,694
Speaker 1: Trump also told Netanyahu there would be no further US

28
00:01:38,814 --> 00:01:42,134
Speaker 1: military action in Iran after they sent stealth bombers to

29
00:01:42,174 --> 00:01:46,294
Speaker 1: attack three Iranian nuclear weapons facilities over the weekend. Despite

30
00:01:46,334 --> 00:01:50,334
Speaker 1: both sides reportedly violating the Seasfire Agreement, Trump claims it

31
00:01:50,374 --> 00:01:54,934
Speaker 1: remains in effect. Australia's online watchdog is pushing for YouTube

32
00:01:54,974 --> 00:01:57,974
Speaker 1: to be included in the Landmarks social media band for children,

33
00:01:58,174 --> 00:02:01,494
Speaker 1: accusing the platform of spin in their safety claims. The

34
00:02:01,574 --> 00:02:04,854
Speaker 1: e Safety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant said the video streaming

35
00:02:04,894 --> 00:02:07,694
Speaker 1: giant should be captured in the laws to restrict access

36
00:02:07,734 --> 00:02:10,334
Speaker 1: for people under the age of sixteen, which will come

37
00:02:10,374 --> 00:02:13,614
Speaker 1: into effect from December. YouTube has so far received an

38
00:02:13,614 --> 00:02:17,334
Speaker 1: exemption from being included in the legislation that involves other

39
00:02:17,374 --> 00:02:21,894
Speaker 1: platforms like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok YouTube, denying their site

40
00:02:21,974 --> 00:02:25,294
Speaker 1: is harmful for young users. Miss Inman Grant says research

41
00:02:25,374 --> 00:02:28,294
Speaker 1: shows seven to ten children aged between ten and fifteen

42
00:02:28,334 --> 00:02:31,974
Speaker 1: had encountered harmful content on the Internet and that YouTube

43
00:02:32,014 --> 00:02:35,094
Speaker 1: was the most cited platform for young people viewing that material.

44
00:02:35,454 --> 00:02:38,214
Speaker 1: She claims that any platform that says they are absolutely

45
00:02:38,254 --> 00:02:41,534
Speaker 1: safe for children is spinning their words. YouTube claims the

46
00:02:41,574 --> 00:02:44,974
Speaker 1: e Safety Commission has ignored other advice showing the platform

47
00:02:45,134 --> 00:02:48,534
Speaker 1: was suitable for young people. Bruce Lehman has sought to

48
00:02:48,574 --> 00:02:51,654
Speaker 1: halt a rape case against him, claiming the police illegally

49
00:02:51,654 --> 00:02:55,134
Speaker 1: obtained his lawyer's phone calls. Lehman is accused of raping

50
00:02:55,134 --> 00:02:57,934
Speaker 1: a woman twice during the morning of October ten, twenty

51
00:02:57,974 --> 00:03:00,454
Speaker 1: twenty one, after they met at a strip club the

52
00:03:00,494 --> 00:03:04,214
Speaker 1: previous night into Woomba, West of Brisbane. Defense lawyer Zalie

53
00:03:04,214 --> 00:03:07,454
Speaker 1: Burrows filed an application into Womber District Court on Monday

54
00:03:07,734 --> 00:03:11,454
Speaker 1: seeking a permanent stay in lem pending trial. The application

55
00:03:11,614 --> 00:03:14,614
Speaker 1: was in response to an affidavid by Peter Blake Segovia,

56
00:03:14,934 --> 00:03:17,374
Speaker 1: a practice manager at the Office of the Director of

57
00:03:17,414 --> 00:03:21,534
Speaker 1: Public Prosecutions, to Warmber Chambers. The Affidavid stated police had

58
00:03:21,574 --> 00:03:25,014
Speaker 1: possession of four audio recordings of calls between a detective

59
00:03:25,294 --> 00:03:29,334
Speaker 1: and Lehman's previous lawyers. In Queensland, it's generally lawful for

60
00:03:29,374 --> 00:03:32,014
Speaker 1: a person to record a phone conversation without the consent

61
00:03:32,054 --> 00:03:34,854
Speaker 1: of the other people on the call. However, Lehman, a

62
00:03:34,894 --> 00:03:38,334
Speaker 1: former ministerial staff at a liberal senator Linda Reynolds, has

63
00:03:38,414 --> 00:03:41,934
Speaker 1: ongoing legal matters in New South Wales and Tasmania, where

64
00:03:41,974 --> 00:03:45,494
Speaker 1: it's generally illegal to record a phone conversation without consent.

65
00:03:46,014 --> 00:03:48,614
Speaker 1: Lherman has not formally entered a plea in this case,

66
00:03:48,654 --> 00:03:51,174
Speaker 1: but his lawyers have previously indicated that he intends to

67
00:03:51,214 --> 00:03:55,534
Speaker 1: fight the chargers. Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed which

68
00:03:55,574 --> 00:03:57,734
Speaker 1: movie made him the most money, and it's not the

69
00:03:57,774 --> 00:04:00,574
Speaker 1: one you think. Schwarzenegger is best known for his role

70
00:04:00,614 --> 00:04:03,494
Speaker 1: as the terminator in the same name franchise, but he

71
00:04:03,534 --> 00:04:05,734
Speaker 1: says those movies were not the ones that made him

72
00:04:05,734 --> 00:04:08,734
Speaker 1: the most cash. Instead, he says it was the comedy

73
00:04:08,774 --> 00:04:11,174
Speaker 1: with Danny de Vito Twins that took them all the

74
00:04:11,174 --> 00:04:14,094
Speaker 1: way to the bank. Schwarzenegger told Andy Cohen on Watch

75
00:04:14,134 --> 00:04:17,414
Speaker 1: What Happens Live that while filming Twins, a movie about

76
00:04:17,414 --> 00:04:20,334
Speaker 1: genetically engineered twins who are separated at birth to be

77
00:04:20,454 --> 00:04:23,734
Speaker 1: reunited as adults who could not look more different. They

78
00:04:23,814 --> 00:04:26,654
Speaker 1: got no money and no salary, but they got a

79
00:04:26,694 --> 00:04:28,894
Speaker 1: piece of the back end. He said. The movie was

80
00:04:28,934 --> 00:04:31,374
Speaker 1: so successful there was a sequel in the works back

81
00:04:31,414 --> 00:04:33,694
Speaker 1: in the day, which was supposed to have Eddie Murphy

82
00:04:33,734 --> 00:04:36,574
Speaker 1: play a third brother, making them triplets, but it never

83
00:04:36,614 --> 00:04:39,574
Speaker 1: got off the ground because director Ivan Reitman passed away

84
00:04:39,694 --> 00:04:42,534
Speaker 1: just before shooting was scheduled to begin. That's what's happening

85
00:04:42,534 --> 00:04:45,534
Speaker 1: in the world today. Next the Bezos Bash, making all

86
00:04:45,574 --> 00:04:55,894
Speaker 1: our wedding invoices pale in comparison. If you're getting married

87
00:04:55,894 --> 00:04:59,654
Speaker 1: this weekend, congrats You'll forever share a wedding anniversary with

88
00:04:59,774 --> 00:05:03,574
Speaker 1: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and fiance former TV News presenter

89
00:05:03,734 --> 00:05:07,734
Speaker 1: Lauren Sanchez. It's already been a pretty big year for

90
00:05:07,774 --> 00:05:11,134
Speaker 1: the pair. Back in January, the inauguration of US President

91
00:05:11,174 --> 00:05:14,974
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, whose campaign Bezos donated one million US dollars

92
00:05:15,054 --> 00:05:17,974
Speaker 1: to Sanchez, wore a white blazer with a white lacey

93
00:05:18,014 --> 00:05:21,494
Speaker 1: bra picking out from underneath. The Internet was sent into

94
00:05:21,574 --> 00:05:24,734
Speaker 1: quite the tizzy when Metaboss Mark Zuckerberg was caught on

95
00:05:24,814 --> 00:05:28,294
Speaker 1: video taking a few glances in her cleavage's direction. Now,

96
00:05:28,374 --> 00:05:30,654
Speaker 1: the couple who met in twenty sixteen when both were

97
00:05:30,654 --> 00:05:33,774
Speaker 1: still married Attying the Knot. Here's a brief history of

98
00:05:33,814 --> 00:05:38,134
Speaker 1: their scandalous relationship. They first came across each other at

99
00:05:38,174 --> 00:05:40,974
Speaker 1: the Amazon Studios party for Manchester by the Sea, the

100
00:05:41,014 --> 00:05:44,654
Speaker 1: movie starring Michelle Williams and Casey Affleck. Two years later,

101
00:05:44,814 --> 00:05:48,694
Speaker 1: Bezos hired Sanchez's company, Black Ops Aviation to help him

102
00:05:48,734 --> 00:05:51,894
Speaker 1: film some promo for his rocket company, the one Sanchez

103
00:05:51,894 --> 00:05:54,694
Speaker 1: would famously jump on board along with Katie Perry earlier

104
00:05:54,734 --> 00:05:58,334
Speaker 1: this year to head into space Blue Origin. Bezos and

105
00:05:58,454 --> 00:06:01,814
Speaker 1: his now ex wife Mackenzie Scott issued a joint statement

106
00:06:01,894 --> 00:06:05,214
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen announcing their divorce after being married for

107
00:06:05,294 --> 00:06:10,174
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Just hours later, people reported them Bezos

108
00:06:10,214 --> 00:06:14,174
Speaker 1: was dating Sanchez. Bezos and Scott's divorce was finalized in

109
00:06:14,214 --> 00:06:17,774
Speaker 1: April twenty nineteen. Sanchez followed for divorce from her husband,

110
00:06:17,854 --> 00:06:22,214
Speaker 1: Patrick Whitesell not long after. Now, they didn't speak publicly

111
00:06:22,254 --> 00:06:25,414
Speaker 1: about each other until twenty twenty three, when Sanchez spoke

112
00:06:25,454 --> 00:06:27,814
Speaker 1: to The Wall Street Journal talking about her life with

113
00:06:27,854 --> 00:06:28,494
Speaker 1: her new man.

114
00:06:28,854 --> 00:06:31,694
Speaker 2: It's the greatest experience I've ever had. I've always had

115
00:06:31,694 --> 00:06:34,174
Speaker 2: a career very separate from my partner. We love to

116
00:06:34,174 --> 00:06:37,214
Speaker 2: be together and we love to work together. He's helping

117
00:06:37,254 --> 00:06:39,974
Speaker 2: me with the book. We fly together, we work out together.

118
00:06:40,214 --> 00:06:41,334
Speaker 2: We're together all the time.

119
00:06:41,774 --> 00:06:44,014
Speaker 1: Then, on a souper yacht parked off the coast of

120
00:06:44,014 --> 00:06:46,254
Speaker 1: the cann Film Festival in the south of France in

121
00:06:46,294 --> 00:06:50,054
Speaker 1: May twenty twenty three, Bezos popped the question and Sanchez

122
00:06:50,094 --> 00:06:52,054
Speaker 1: said yes, She told Vogue.

123
00:06:52,254 --> 00:06:54,214
Speaker 2: When he opened the box, I think I blacked out

124
00:06:54,254 --> 00:06:54,494
Speaker 2: a bit.

125
00:06:54,734 --> 00:06:58,014
Speaker 1: He'd slipped a thirty carrot pink diamond ring, estimated to

126
00:06:58,014 --> 00:07:01,134
Speaker 1: be worth between three and five million dollars on her finger. Girl,

127
00:07:01,374 --> 00:07:03,254
Speaker 1: do not leave that on the sink when you're washing

128
00:07:03,254 --> 00:07:06,814
Speaker 1: your hands. Their engagement party was held on Jeff Bezos's yacht,

129
00:07:06,894 --> 00:07:10,134
Speaker 1: the Coro in August twenty twenty three, with mates Spillgates,

130
00:07:10,254 --> 00:07:13,454
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Jenna and more on board. They had

131
00:07:13,454 --> 00:07:16,374
Speaker 1: a second engagement party in Beverly Hills in November that year.

132
00:07:16,894 --> 00:07:19,534
Speaker 1: Sanchez then threw herself a Hans bash in Paris back

133
00:07:19,534 --> 00:07:22,374
Speaker 1: in May, Kim Kardashi and Chris Jenna, Katy Perry, and

134
00:07:22,374 --> 00:07:25,414
Speaker 1: Eva Longoria helped her celebrate. She posted a pick of

135
00:07:25,414 --> 00:07:27,494
Speaker 1: her girls on Instagram with this caption.

136
00:07:27,694 --> 00:07:30,814
Speaker 2: Forever starts with friendship, surrounded by the women who've lifted

137
00:07:30,854 --> 00:07:34,134
Speaker 2: me up, illuminated my path in dark times, and shaped

138
00:07:34,134 --> 00:07:35,174
Speaker 2: my heart along the way.

139
00:07:35,814 --> 00:07:38,294
Speaker 1: According to reports, the wedding, which is said to happen

140
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:41,054
Speaker 1: any time between tomorrow and Sunday in Venice, has been

141
00:07:41,094 --> 00:07:43,534
Speaker 1: planned by the same team who threw the Clooney's wedding

142
00:07:43,574 --> 00:07:47,654
Speaker 1: bash in twenty fourteen. The nuptials haven't been welcomed by

143
00:07:47,694 --> 00:07:50,454
Speaker 1: all the locals, with many protesters calling for people to

144
00:07:50,494 --> 00:07:53,974
Speaker 1: block the celebrations. Posters are being plastered up around the

145
00:07:54,014 --> 00:07:57,054
Speaker 1: city saying things like no space for bezos and Venice

146
00:07:57,094 --> 00:08:00,334
Speaker 1: is not a playground for oligarchs. One reads, if you

147
00:08:00,374 --> 00:08:02,974
Speaker 1: can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.

148
00:08:03,894 --> 00:08:06,174
Speaker 1: The couple has tried to offset the anger at their

149
00:08:06,254 --> 00:08:09,934
Speaker 1: lavish nuptials by using mostly local vendors and wissing to

150
00:08:09,934 --> 00:08:13,334
Speaker 1: minimize any disruption to the city, but this hasn't put

151
00:08:13,374 --> 00:08:17,094
Speaker 1: hardline anti bezos protesters off the scent, many promising to

152
00:08:17,134 --> 00:08:20,694
Speaker 1: pick at any reception venue they choose. So far, the

153
00:08:20,734 --> 00:08:24,014
Speaker 1: celebrations have been kept to Bezos's yacht, where he's reportedly

154
00:08:24,254 --> 00:08:28,174
Speaker 1: held a foam party for the early arrivals, while details

155
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:30,694
Speaker 1: of the ceremony in reception have been kept very private.

156
00:08:31,014 --> 00:08:33,374
Speaker 1: There are reports that the reception would be held at

157
00:08:33,414 --> 00:08:38,014
Speaker 1: a century's old waterfront building called the Scala Grande della Misracordia,
