Wish the hosts would let the guests talk

They have amazing guests but the hosts interrupt and just gush over Hef. It’s unfortunate they don’t shut up and let the guests tell their stories. We get it, the hosts love Hefner but we don’t need to hear about it in the middle of a guest’s sentences.

So annoying

Cannot stand how carina and echo talk over literally EVERYONE. it’s so rude and so disrespectful, some of these people have amazing stories but you can’t hear anything because they’re CONSTANTLY being spoken over.

Cierra1013 ,

Could be good

This would be such a great podcast if they didnt talk horrible about people sharing experiences about playboy that MANY women have had over the years and i’m sorry but it’s not all good things sometimes, just because YOU didn’t experience things, does NOT mean others havent.
