- Geri Halliwell-Horner (Ginger Spice herself!) discusses what drew her to the Spice Girls from the very beginning, her foray into literature and writing, and the life lessons she has learned from American culture. She shares her thoughts on what it has meant to be Ginger Spice, the connotations associated with being a redhead, and how her intuition guided her to stand up for Spice Girls’ biggest hit, “Wannabe.” Mayim serenades Geri with Yiddish songs and Geri explains how she incorporates songwriting into her books, why she resonates with Sylvester Stallone, how becoming a mom changed her persona and why self-worth can be our best defense.

I was working at the Four Seasons Hotel ,Toronto, during 2001, 2002 in Room Service midnight shift.
Ms. Halliwell stayed with us when she was the MC for the famous Fashion Cares Foundation during that time.
When she came back to the hotel around 2:00 am, I got an order of tea for her suite. I got there , her assistant opened the door and I went in. I could see from the corner of my eyes ms. Holliwell standing in the living room sorting out some clothes.
After I set the tea on a desk, and I was leaving. She said "Sir". I turned towards her and said "yes ma'am".
Then she asked me
"Do you have a daughter?"
I replied "yes ma'am, I do".
Then holding a dress in her hands, she asked me"
" Do you think your she like this?"
I said: " I think she'll love it"
And she gave me the dress.
I always tell this story when I have the chance.
Ms. Gerry Halliwell was so nice, gracious, humble and kind.
I encountered many celebrities during my days working there, and I have to say she was the best.
Ay que bella historia,eso muestra la grandeza en el corazón de la gente. Yo conocí a Emma y a Melanie C y me trataron tan hermoso,son humildes de corazón y por eso grandes.
Gracias por compartir Sr José y me imagino cuando llegó con el vestido que lindo momento.
@Mayim Bialek. This episode made me grateful that I visited Ellis Island and processed the history of immigrants and ALL of us. One of OUR ancestors took the brave journey of America. Until Geri mentioned how America is still inspirational. Bc right now we are so embarrassed of our country. This brought a rememberence of American pride. Which we ALL need. Thank you Geri and thank you Mayim.
"When you write a song, it's like the perfume version of a story". I love the way she expressed that. I can attest that writing a song and writing a novel is completely different. Both works wonders on some people yet creates a different world of imagination on someone's mind. I'm not a writer myself but I read a lot to the point where I forget some of my house chores and that flips my Mom's mood to 360°.
Never knew Ginger Spice wrote novels...such a great fast moving episode with an old friend ❤
“When you stand in truth your words have power” ❤ LOVE listening to Geri speak!
not only i get to listen to this episode, but i get to watch geri as well🩷❤️🧡💛💚
#GirlPower✌🏽
The lessons Geri learned I got from the British, especially The Beatles. They taught me you weren't confined to your corner of the world.
I love Geri Halliwell. She's a fighter. Love when you have the Spice Girls come on 'Break it down' they were an inspiration for me to be able to achieve anything I want
My favourite Spice Girl 😻😻😻 How great would be to speak to all the ladies and have their perspective on life? What a dream....
I loved part of mother to mother talk 💞
All I saw on my feed was "Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell-Horner: Death" and I about broke down. Thank the gods I clicked the video to see the full title. *breathes deep sigh of relief*
Hi, Mayim. As a life long Spice Girls fan, I love that you have interviewed two of them. I hope the rest of the girls can get to be on the show as well.
Wow in so happy to see geri on the podcast love her since I was a kid the spice girls were my favorite girl group 🙂💚💚💚💚
I just listened to the mel C episode. It was really good.
She's so well spoken and intelligent. Fantastic interview!
This is such a great episode with Geri Halliwell-Horner. Thank you so much for having this great podcast, Mayim! ❤
Geri is well-read, she was the main songwritter in the Spice Girls. She exudes Power as a whole. Such a smart and lovely woman. She remains my favourite Spice Girl. She even scored 4 No.1s of her own and has written many children books.
I love this interview! Now, Geri's cheekiness still serves her! I LOVE that!
Damn, Geri is doing some heavy promo for her new book.. She's all over the place. Not that I'm complaining. Always enjoy listening to Geri... :-)
What an Amazing chat.
She is so Smart and warm person .
I love these 4 rules
Geri has ALWAYS been my favourite Spice Girl -- I just love her to bits! Thanks for this episode, Mayim. It was such a treat to see you both on-screen and talking about such great topics.
Yes mayim this episode made me think
I love Geri ❤❤
LOVE Geri!
I loved this interview!!! I liked it When Geri asked about the grandma’s & how things move in life 😊
Such a good episode I love ginger spice ❤️🫶🫶x
My favourite Spice Girl ! She's simply adorable ❤ Great interview Mayim! Thanks!
Just watched Mayim on Bill Maher's Pod and may I just throw this out there, Mayim 2024?!?!, pls, tks, your friendly neighbour to the north
Can we give this woman an honorary U.S. citizenship! She's great, and I didn't know anything about the Spice Girls back story until I watched the interviews with her and Mel C. on your channel. I'm very impressed with them.
This was an exciting episode! And I love you say you have interviewed 2 spices! Viva La Geri. The Yiddish song translates to "What is lost, is lost forever."
Awww I love Geri! Ginger Spice was always my favorite Spice Girl! I just love her energy and her voice! I never knew that she was a writer! I'm going to have to get her novel! I hope that she continues writing
I get so many good things from this podcast. It’s really helped me figure out what I really really want out of life.
Inspiring, incredible Geri H.H.❤
What a lovely episode. Checking out Geri’s book!
Fantastic! She's awesome. So good to watch & listen to Geri. ♡♡♡
I’m so glad. 2 Spice Girls in!! Woohoooo!!! Loved this. I love my girls.
My favourite Spice Girl !
thank you for a wonderful interview!
Loved this episode! Ginger has always and will always be my favorite SPICE
Mayim thank you for another amazing episode! This is the highlight of my week! Also, my thoughts are with you during the tragedy of what is going on in Israel. Sending love.
❤
William Boyd ✅ book suggestion. Thanks Geri
(Want to read Geri's books of course!)
What a great episode! What a fascinating woman! So positive & grounded.
I LOVED this episode. Thank you Mayim!❤
I'm kind of a fan of Spice Girls too Mayim. Geri is along Emma one of my favorites. Keep your good job Mayim! You're my favorite actress ever! Please return as Amy in the future Big Bang Theory spin-off!
Spice up your life.... 😘
She is so refreshing and thoughtful👍
Wow! Watching you two was entertaining! 😊 The Spice Girls are cool ❤ I also love how Mayim tells a story about her children, i admire Mayim so much.
Thank you for this another great episode Miss Mayim 😃 I learn something new. I really enjoyed listening to this before bed.
I'm excited for the upcoming episode, and Jonathan is missed! We genuinely miss his insightful ideas 😁
Btw, I just want to take this moment to ask everyone to pray about the ongoing situation in Israel and that it will soon come to an end. Pray for everyone and for peace ❤🙏🏻 Take Care!
🙏 daily
Red heads? Omg, you both forgot Lucille Ball! She was 'in her own lane' for sure. Loved this conversation. Geri's so inspiring! Her passion for American 'I can do anything' values is the best. And spot on.
Geri is BRILLIANT
Great episode! I don't want to take away from it at all, but singing in Yiddish, I love it!
Wow I had know idea that geri became a writer 📚📖 I might check out her books 🤔
Geri is such a wonderful personality. She has such passion for her pursuits and for creativity in general. I also think that she has a beautiful speaking voice.
To me Geri was the Spice Girls and brought that "girl power" concept to the band. Everyone now thinks that Victoria is the big name from the band because she married Beckham. But, I think it is and always was Geri who made the band.
I'm going to buy her book. I feel inspired!
Victoria is the big name definitely only because of David Beckham. That's not to say that she didn't bring anything to the table but she's just not faded into the background like everyone else. It's refreshing to see them come back on podcasts and stuff. I think that Geri was the glue and had a lot of ideas they put to use.
I like Geri's it just truthfulness being said ! .. But Im Always A True Brit At Heart. Sent from the UK
This certainly was a nice program
Excellent!!!! Many thanks
GERI forever
She’s so cute ❤
Oh I love Geri!
I was just about to say "first" lol, ya being a writer is harder then one would think. You have to give her credit.
The only constant is change.
Theme of the penultimate episode of TBBT
A Very Spicy Episode! 🤔😒😊😆👍👌🎃🍁🎃
10:59 that's the laugh at the start of Wannabe
The *Udmurts* of Udmurtia are the most red-haired people on earth. The Udmurts are a *Uralic* people, who dwell in Russia. Udmurtia is near these provinces: Komi and Mari. Great video. 👍
❤
Porte.=Porr-T, cut it off there, , cochère is on the nose..bravo Mayim! really enjoy your breakdowns⚛︎
Can you do an episode talking about the war from a Jewish perspective?
✌️ 💙
Less sick days
Did Geri say she's cousins with Mayim in the intro?
no she's saying that Brits and Americans are like cousins
For the algorithm 👍
Rabbit air 😊
Why have you been “flying solo” in so many podcasts?
The American dream..i do think, it's not available anymore.
It is still here but Americans really do take it forgranted..just my humble opinion.
You’re not allowed to have the American dream anymore or you’ll be canceled
You need a Saviour the rest is temporary.
Miles can be shortened to "Miley""
shorten to 1/2 mile
Not watched as yet but would like to know…why the constant white clothing?! And how how how does she keep it so clean?!😮😮😮😮
That's how you prove you are rich
She has said that for her it's easier to wear white because she doesn't have to worry about combining colors.
@@peterpinsent9028 yes, she has said it multiple times.
@@jeniestra. easier wow! White it literally the i easiest colour to where. Black I understand. I don’t believe her. The makeup, grubby marks from cooking cleaning driving walking talking would send me into a panic attack 🤣
@@darnitthelma4247 I don't know how she keeps it clean 😂.
Love Geri, but I feel like more recently, the podcast isn't as deep, or maybe it's just the people being interviewed? I miss learning about people's upbringing, deep, supressed topics, hence " breakdown". No offense at all, I love your show, but I feel like maybe some of the shows true meaning is missing, or it's essence is slightly missing? You usually always touch on everyone's childhood, family, where they're from, but I'm missing deeper context, connections that I feel like your podcast was heavy on even just a year ago . Just my take on recent episodes. ❤
Agreed! Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way
Myam and her “uh huhs” doesn’t want to hear someone lauding America.
Warning about the Stephen King book ‘on writing’ it has some really graphic scenes in it. Brilliant resource but truly not suitable for children.
Qué curioso que ella haya Sido la más gordita y ahora se vea tan delgada y acabada
