In this episode, Holly and Bridget recap their Thanksgiving and the body issues that arose with it. They dive back into The Girls Next Door Season 2 Episode 5 "San Diego or Busts" and what Holly feels is the cringiest scene in the entire series. The uncomfortable age gap between Hef and his girls is called into question during this episode as we see prom pictures, Hef's grandfather peers, and a little too much attention placed on some childhood videos. They talk justifying the age gap to themselves and the brainwashing people will do in order to make excuses for it. The girls discuss the different ways they feel about these scenes, what exactly a "gentleman" is and a teary-eyed farewell.

I've been waiting for this episode! This is the first episode where I saw the veil lifted from Hugh and Holly's relationship because I thought he was just so mean to her for no reason. I could tell by Holly's behavior after that she was crushed by his comments.
what was the documentary on max about hefs friend?
how would Lodi, California be the wine grape capital of the world? Wouldn't it be sonewhere like France? 🤔😂
I've ALWAYS loved Arnie he was always a light and enthused! His speaking voice is the best!

ladies the girls next door is on tubi! I love hearing your experiences at the playboy mansion I always had a feeling it was a fun place to go, but I also had a feeling it wasn't a dream place
omg holly is going to cry until she runs people away
love this podcast. one of the only ones where the hosts actually stick to the subject matter and don't go off on ridiculous tangents!!
I JUST found this show! I absolutely love you girls! So awesome to hear all the tea and get an insight on who you have become. Keep up the fabulous work! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
omg, Bridget asking Holly if pumpkins were hard to find... lol
Nothing against Skagway but you don't even need to go on a haunted tour for it to be kinda creepy there. Being there in the tourism off-season is weird. idk, it just has that feel to it. lol
Audra came out in the Bunny The Bunny Chronicles podcast and said she took the present and she regrets never telling Hef you should REALLY check out a couple of the podcasts on there they talk about you ladies on there
my favorite part of Sunday night!
Another great episode but I'm so ready for the longer ones they just never seem long enough lol 💜👯👯
Loving this podcast. 🥰
Her is a true narcissist. I’ve been in a narcissist relationship, and it’s very difficult on so many fronts. The love bombing is on purpose. The gas lighting, the isolation. This is just on a larger scale.
I really wish Holly would stop pulling the victim card over and over and over and over. Girl you were there and you could had left but you wanted something out of it so it's just aggravating to hear you keep pulling it. Yeah it was negative for you because you were negative about it.
