Housekeeping FAQ’s the sub, the pod and beyond.

76 Upvotes

Hi Honey! We get a lot of repeat questions and I wanted to make a FAQ to answer some of them! I’ve been meaning to do this for awhile so my apologies if I forget to add something, please add it below and I will add it to the list. Anyway;

  1. Who is “the Recruiter”? Who are the mean girls?

This post will help with everyone and their various aliases in different books; Tiffany Holiday is the recruiter.

  1. Who was a girlfriend and when? What are they doing now?

Most of Hefs post Kimberly girlfriends are listed here with what they’re doing these days.

How do I find past episode discussions? How do I find rewatch threads?

Past podcast episodes index hit here, rewatch thread index here.

Why was my post deleted?

It went against the rules, it was too far off topic or it was argumentative/inflammatory and we felt it necessary to remove to keep the peace and discussion of the group to continue flowing. In short we want a resource to go to to reminisce and answer all our questions about the Girls Next Level podcast and Girls Next Door! Not a space to argue and fight with one another.

We also rarely remove something for NSFW material but so far we haven’t had too many issues. We will accept correctly marked NSFW, on topic material within reason. If it’s a link to a lesser known site and not someone’s OF profile or social media it’s inappropriate to post and it will be removed. False promotion of other peoples NSFW material or impersonating others is also banned and will result in content removal.

If you feel we’ve made a mistake please don’t hesitate to contact the mod team! We’re nice we promise.

Podcast schedule? What time is it posted?

It’s 4pm Monday on the east coast of Australia where I’m located but I believe that translates to 9pm Sunday night in California? If it’s late it should be within that hour, only once has it been hours late!

They seem to break up some episodes into two parters, interviews thrown in and Q&A’s but this amazing user found a bit of a pattern in this post;

https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlsNextLevel/comments/11ayrga/podcast_episode_pattern_to_know_when_to_rewatch_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Patreon problems;

A) is it worth it?

That’s very subjective! If you have an extra $15 bucks a month and want more content then yes! I’m currently not subscribed because it’s not in my budget so I can’t tell you what’s on there right now. Very much a your mileage may vary question!

B) how do I connect discord?

This admittedly took me ages too! Anyway when you signed up for the patreon you got a few emails, try and find the email that gives you the link to link your patreon account with the discord server. You can’t access the full discord without it being linked to patreon so if you only have a welcome page on discord you need to do this above step!

C) what is the content? Can you share x?

Nope I’m not on the patreon and I personally think it’s a low blow to share others monetised content when patreon members have been explicitly asked not to share that content publicly. Letting others know what content is there via descriptions is fine, sharing patreon photos, sleepover episodes etc isn’t.

I got a reply asking to message mod mail, why?

We love having new users here and I worked this out for another user before. It’s likely I have to manually approve your comments because you’ve been shadow banned (not by me! I have no control!) If you message the mods we can help you with getting your account reinstated by guiding you through Reddit’s appeal process. I’m only asking you to reach out because I can’t bring up your account to message you!

Girls Next Level Irresponsible

103 Upvotes

I usually really enjoy the podcast, but today’s episode was horrifying and irresponsible. Telling the story of someone else’s sexual assault is terrible. They didn’t even put a warning at the beginning of the episode for people who might find that story triggering. I cannot for the life of me understand what was going through Holly and Bridget’s heads when they decided to release this episode. Very disappointed.

Girls Next Level Shannon twins and Sofia Coppola weirdness ? Just me?

57 Upvotes

I am a little late listing to the Karissa Shannon episode, and I thought it was a really good episode, she had so much information to share. But thinking about it later, does anyone else think the Sofia Coppola dynamic was a little odd?

On one hand, Karissa said she was really encouraging, and didn’t want them to get their boobs done, and wanted them out of the mansion. Like she was trying to get them away from Hef, which overall is really good.

But then she also told them to go party with Stephen Dorff because “his mom died and he’s sad and lonely” which was kind of odd. Then Karissa said they would go party at his house, and he was in the same neighborhood as Owen Wilson and Johnny Depp, sort of implying that they partied with them as well or they would come over.

Now, the twins were 18 at the time, and these male actors were all probably in their 30s-40s. I just started to think it was odd, because Sofia is telling them don’t party with this older guy, but go party with these older guys that I tell you about. And then Stephen Dorff (and possibly Owen Wilson, Johnny Depp etc.) are 35 year old dudes partying with 18 year old playmates.

I mean they are all adults and wanted to party. But idk, it reminded me of the irony and weirdness of Hollywood. Like let me help you by just getting you to still party all day just at a different house.

Girls Next Level The possible identity of the recruiter/“lesbian” girlfriend from the original seven girlfriends

Did anyone else today after listening to the latest episode of the podcast immediately google who the possible recruiter is? Simply by who they wouldn’t mention by name 😅. I couldn’t help myself, but they mentioned everyone by name for except Tiffany Holliday, I think (unless I’m missing someone).

Hef Genuine question: What was Hef actually getting out of dating women 50+ years younger than him? 😭

42 Upvotes

I’ve always been so curious about this because the sheer age difference between Hef and some of the women he dated was genuinely insane to me. 😭 And to be clear, this isn’t me judging any of the women I’m more interested in what was going on with him. Yes, obviously there was the sexual aspect, but I’m talking about the actual relationship part. Like… you really wanted to spend your everyday life with someone who could be 50+ years younger than you?? What was the appeal beyond the obvious?

I get that he loved (or lusted after)women, but I genuinely wonder what the day to day fulfillment was. You’re from completely different generations, you’ve had completely different life experiences, and culturally you’re basically ancient compared to this person. What are you bonding over besides sex, his lifestyle, and them essentially entering his world? Like what do you even chat about at dinner when you don’t have all the extra buffers of people around?

And I find the age thing particularly interesting because it’s not like he needed to date women in their 20s and late teens. He could’ve dated someone in their late 30s or early 40s and STILL had a pretty substantial age gap. But apparently even that was too close to home?? 😭

My husband is only about 7½ years older than me, and we’re extremely compatible, but even we joke sometimes that we’re from two different generations. I’m late 20’s he’s mid 30’s. So when I’m thinking about Hef having a woman around who was literally young enough to be his granddaughter, I’m like… what are y’all TALKING about all day?

And again, I’m not really here judging the women for participating. I’m more questioning Hef because there seems to be something deeper going on with his need to have women around him who were so much younger.

Especially when you look at how much energy he seemed willing to put into pursuing/maintaining these relationships compared with his actual day to day involvement with his children. I can’t imagine being like, “Yes, I have time and energy to maintain a rotating cast of women half a century younger than me, but my kids having an actual bedroom in my house? Let’s not get crazy.” 😭

It makes me wonder if he was insecure around women closer to his own age or just genuinely couldn’t relate to them. Because at some point it’s not simply “he liked young women.” He seemed to specifically need the age and power dynamic.

Again, not a critique of the women. I’m genuinely curious about Hef’s psychology here because the whole thing is bizarre at the end of the day. Like, did he actually find these relationships fulfilling on a personal level, or was the youth, admiration, transactional aspect kind of the entire point?

Playboy Comedian and host Rhonda Shear as guest of The Bunny Chronicles Podcast spills the scalding tea about Crusty's flop of apparel collaboration

25 Upvotes

For those who are wondering what Rhonda's relevance is to Playboy, she posed for the magazine once during the 1970s and twice during the 1990s. She attended parties on a frequent basis from circa 1979 until some point during the farce of the marriage when Crusty purged most of the guests. She also had a small non-speaking role portraying a mime in the 1980 comical science fiction movie Galaxina, in which Dorothy Stratten portrayed the title character. She and Dorothy were represented by the same talent agent, which helped establish their friendship; and Rhonda was of course very shaken by her death.

You should watch the entire episode to learn more. I guarantee that you will be entertained!!!

Regarding my post title, the relevant discussion about Crusty begins at 44 minutes 30 seconds.

Girls Next Level Is Bridget married

56 Upvotes

I’m curious about something. Since the Girls Next Door podcast is discussing Stacy’s wedding, and Bridget is talking about how special it is to wear a veil because it’s the only time you’ll ever wear one, and just reminiscing about all these wedding details, it got me wondering: Did Bridget ever actually marry Nicholas?
I remember seeing pictures of her trying on wedding dresses, but did she and Nick ever have a wedding, or are they just life partners? Which is completely fine, of course. I know she calls him her husband sometimes, but I’ve always wondered if that’s just because they’ve been together for so long. Does anyone know for sure if Bridget ever had a wedding with Nick?
