Speaker 2: I went to interview Madonna, she did my makeup.
Speaker 1: This is not interesting, This is not interesting to me.

Speaker 3: Mao was friends with her vaping face in.
Speaker 2: Your vaping face, Why is that pertinent? Because you two
Speaker 2: would vape.

Speaker 3: She was a smoker. She's smoking smoke.
Speaker 1: You know, even back in the day, the Spice Girl songs,
Speaker 1: back back back when you could even tell she was
Speaker 1: a smoker. Back then, Melby always did the logo because
Speaker 1: the voice is like, that was good. You want to
Speaker 1: come to me wedding, the low harmony.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm doing really good her impersonation.
Speaker 1: So you become buddies having puffs, buddies having paths, went
Speaker 1: to the SCG the footy together, my.
Speaker 2: Son and the couple of had a date with her.
Speaker 3: They went to see Hamilton together with her kids and
Speaker 3: our kids.
Speaker 2: Right, But it was who doesn't like Holly? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean everybody loves Holly. But here's the thing. It wasn't
Speaker 2: always smooth sailing, Hugh, because you got to save the
Speaker 2: date for the wedding and then you heard nothing further,
Speaker 2: what nothing.
Speaker 3: Nothing further. She wouldn't answer a message her a couple
Speaker 3: of times, but no response. So the savor day of
Speaker 3: the wedding was unbelievable because we actually were in London
Speaker 3: at that time, like we'd already booked a holiday to London,
Speaker 3: so we didn't come over specifically, and.
Speaker 1: She still wouldn't invite you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you happen to be.
Speaker 3: The invite she had invited. She didn't know we were
Speaker 3: coming to London. She had no idea, so it was
Speaker 3: just synchronicity.
Speaker 2: Did she also not know that you were coming to
Speaker 2: her wedding?
Speaker 3: No? Look, look I went into the jungle thinking I
Speaker 3: haven't had the final invite. I got out of the
Speaker 3: jungle and then I went through my old emails and
Speaker 3: saw the final spam.
Speaker 1: She saw an email and spam. Scary Spice at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com has emailed Wow, there was a wedding.
Speaker 3: Plan, actually her wedding plant saying what's your address? We
Speaker 3: need to send you an invite. Gave the address out,
Speaker 3: invite never turned up, and then we went to London
Speaker 3: thinking we weren't going to the wedding. So you know,
Speaker 3: we might have gone past and watched them. But then
Speaker 3: last week another email turned up. I think they changed
Speaker 3: wedding planners, changed wedding plan and someone can no one
Speaker 3: Well maybe I don't know, maybe, but.
Speaker 2: Whatever, he loves to neg Hey. You the one thing
Speaker 2: you need to know about Valvo he loves He's a
Speaker 2: big negger.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm going to neg husy for going to
Speaker 1: Malby's wedding uninvited.
Speaker 2: I was were on the list so yeah, what list
Speaker 2: They do not allow entry list.
Speaker 3: Now, there was a list of Saint Paul, so we
Speaker 3: could have gone right to the door and been rejected.
Speaker 3: But so there was there. Our name was there.
Speaker 2: But hang on you when we were going together to
Speaker 2: the Project final party, you were leaving the next morning
Speaker 2: for London, but you didn't mention the wedding then because
Speaker 2: you thought it wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. I didn't. I didn't think it was
Speaker 3: going to happen. No one would respond to any of
Speaker 3: our anybody, so it was only like it was only
Speaker 3: three days before the wedding. But an email popped in saying,
Speaker 3: you know, just for final details. And then I emailed
Speaker 3: back and they said, yeah, they never sent any physical
Speaker 3: They didn't send any physical invite.
Speaker 1: So, Hughsy, can I just say this is the difference
Speaker 1: between me and my podcast host. I could not give
Speaker 1: a fuck about this exchange. I want to know what
Speaker 1: spice girls were there. I want to know what celebrities
Speaker 1: were there.
Speaker 2: You don't want to talk.
Speaker 1: About your spam folder. Yeah, and Kate text before, by
Speaker 1: the way, goes what went to his wedding? So anyway, Hughsy,
Speaker 1: who was there, name name name.
Speaker 3: Well, baby Spice actually walked into the into Saint Paul's
Speaker 3: before us. We had no idea who it was, like
Speaker 3: one hundred behind it, one hundred papparaarts like taking photos
Speaker 3: of her. And then I realized, I think I really
Speaker 3: might have realized his baby Spice. And then we went
Speaker 3: past and I was so like, what assholes? All put
Speaker 3: their cameras down, no one talking, really.
Speaker 2: Shat me, not even with your beautiful one wife.
Speaker 3: I know she was a hot stick there anyway.
Speaker 2: Hey, I know, I know Valvo doesn't like the details,
Speaker 2: but how did hollywife pull together such a stunning out fit?
Speaker 2: She had a hat and everything. How did she do that?
Speaker 3: It was last minute, last minute? Yeah, good question. She
Speaker 3: actually got that book that online. She had two dresses,
Speaker 3: one online.
Speaker 2: And got them delivered to the.
Speaker 3: Hotel, delivered a hotel and it didn't and we weren't
Speaker 3: at the hotel, so it got sent away from the hotel.
Speaker 3: And then she went out and bought another grass and
Speaker 3: then it came and then the other one came to
Speaker 3: the hotel and we wanted her to put the yellow
Speaker 3: one on, but he said it was She was worried
Speaker 3: it was yellow, you look.
Speaker 2: Great, stunning.
Speaker 1: We love Holly.

Speaker 3: son and her husband.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about Ginger? Have we got bad blood? Is
Speaker 2: there some bad blood with Ginger?
Speaker 1: Well? I know this Ginger years ago came out and
Speaker 1: Melby said in Appears Morgan interview that he gave that
Speaker 1: had a sexual.
Speaker 2: Affair and I thought they'd made up.
Speaker 1: Apparently.
Speaker 2: Did you ask her about that in your emails in
Speaker 2: your wedding speech?
Speaker 3: I know, No, you're you're and you're getting as much
Speaker 3: information from me from Daily Mail about that, So yeah,
Speaker 3: I agree. She wasn't there. There wasn't that many big
