So glad that you ladies decided to do this.

Living my early 2000’s dreams! This is the commentary the show needed

Love you Holly and Bridget!!

I love this podcast! I watched Girls Next Door when it aired back in the day on E and remember thinking there’s so much more to these women and what actually happened behind the scenes than what was being portrayed. It is fascinating hearing the reality of what occurred. Thanks for sharing your stories! BTW- I have a beautiful 9 year old kitty named Tuesday :) Bridget - I know you said you want to name a pet Tuesday. So far - she is the only cat that I’ve ever heard of named Tuesday.

When you guys said: “what’s the watered down version of influencers?” I was thinking podcasters 💀😂😂😂 (kidding, big fan of you guys ❤️)

I went from loving Holly and Bridget and having the best memories of the show to hating it all. Holly is such an entitled, self-centered “victim”and has brainwashed Bridget to be the same. They recap each episode by complaining about the most minuscule, unimportant things people did or said or how something was edited. They question why production pushed for drama and storylines while they are both reaping the benefits of the show’s success. The show was about Playboy life, the mansion, and being Hef’s girlfriend, not an autobiography of Holly and Bridget’s lives. Editing the show in a way that made it entertaining does not mean the audience was being “groomed” They didn’t show you going to bootcamp because no one cares about that. They focused on creating drama because that’s what people want to see. No one is tuning in to watch you go to school and do arts and crafts. The entire podcast can be summarized as “why didn’t they make it more about ME” while bashing Hef and Kendra. Kendra was 12 years younger than Bridget yet they talk about her like an equal. It’s unfair. And they talk about Hef like he’s a monster. Holding a man born in the 1920’s to 2025 standards - it’s unrealistic and ridiculous. Even the smallest sarcastic joke like Hef doing a little hop when B said her sister is naked is blown out of proportion so badly. Did you want him to run out of the room and cover his eyes?! If Hef was such a creep why did you feel so comfortable having your sister live there for free? He’s a creep when feeding into Holly’s delulu rhetoric but not a creep when you’re all freeloading in his mansion? The negativity and completely delusional attitudes toward the show, sharing opinions as if they are fact, make this unbearable to listen to. Such a shame, I was such a fan of them before this train wreck.

Holly speaking about her Christmas haunted living room gave me an idea….Bridget should host one her ghost episodes in Holly’s living room to see what ghostly friends we have among us!

I got sucked into Holly and Bridget’s world after they appeared on the CHD podcast a couple years back! They have a story to tell, but that is just the backdrop for their content. As hosts, their personalities are so complimentary, their friendship is fun to watch, and I find their content very relatable and comforting. They deal with a lot of hate coming at them, and truly they are and always have been two beautiful, strong women. The haters who come on here specifically to rate low need to just click off, it’s not that deep. They are real people, not robot puppet performers. Stop making them self-conscious of their content and general existence. Their podcast career will continue beyond the last episodes of GNL, if they so choose, and I’m here for it.

I truly was a fan of the TV show. Holly was a favorite then. I was looking forward to the podcast but have felt a decline in the content steadily since it’s premiere. I’m time and research it has been revealed Holly is a true mean girl and this podcast is a exhibition of the fact. It’s strange because I couldn’t stand Kendra at all but now find her all the more appealing after all the reveals of Holly and Bridget’s decades long obsession with her. It’s like the Streisand Effect. You ladies need therapy. Holly is the worst. Bridget follows.

As a millennial who was a teen at the time, I was obsessed with Girls Next Door and Playboy and the whole vibe of that time. Later in life, I read Holly’s book and loved her in a whole new way. Now, I am obsessed with this pod and binging it hardcore and feeling so thankful to be able to get a nuanced view which allows for nostalgia/joy and also a closer and more authentic view of what was actually going on bts. I appreciate how candid and open Holly and Bridget and how they don’t shy away from asking guests to do the same (in a non-pushy way). TLDR: 5 stars!

Holly and Bridget do such a great job, I feel like my girlfriends and I are talking about all their episodes!

I love all the behind the scenes truths. What really happened. Holly and Bridget are here to give us all the T.

I am an ‘88 baby. I loved the girls next door, I actually had sneak and watch of my struck parents would kill me. But I wanted to be both of you , the glamor the humbleness. Everything I thought a the perfect women would be . I still were playboy Brandon cutesy shirts/ clothes . And literally today a lady walks up to me and how gross it was that was representing a man that was so cruel to women. And made me think, I have never associated playboy with Hefner I have always thought of the two of you. So weird I thought that it made her think of Hefner. Came all the way here just to share. Thank you for everything you both do you are a symbol of a generation of women who wanted to be hot glamor, sweet and caring. I’m headed over to the girls next level merch site :)

No

I was a fan of both before the podcast. After listening, this has made Holly insufferable to me and dragged Bridgett along with her. The show has become a Kendra bashing session and all they do is speculate and it’s all negative. Awful! Just awful!

I watched The Girls Next Door when it was on, I bought the DVDs, all the issues of playboy when they posed, I was a huge fan. I was so excited for this podcast, however it feels like Holly’s one mission is to make Kendra look like the bad guy. She has to point out all the bad Kendra moments & how she was made to feel less than to her, etc. it’s every single episode! Let it go, it would make the podcast so much better & you wouldn’t have to split the half hour episode reviews into 3 one hour podcasts.

Holly and Bridget, not sure if you see this but, first, I love you!! ❤️ I agree soo much with what you guys say and talk about! Thank you for putting this out! Ahhh!!! So entertaining! P.S. if you ever want to invite a normal person on a ghost adventure, think of me!!🥰

Girls, I’ve always loved Girl’s Next Door, but have never been into re-watches. I just discovered the podcast a few months ago, but you guys are my go-to for a laugh and an easy listen. I’m just now starting the podcast from the beginning and loving it even more now that I understand the back stories! <3

This podcast is not good or insightful anymore. It has turned into complaint sessions and Kendra bullying. Now that I’ve learned about Holly’s political leanings, I simply cannot support this podcast anymore. She’s not a person I would want to listen to or associate with because it’s clear she doesn’t understand or support women’s issues.

Absolutely love the podcast and the show. Holly. I love you and I mean this with all due respect. but I feel like you bring up your spectrum diagnosis so much for everything it’s almost insulting to Bridget who made the same decisions at the mansion as you. I love the podcast just feel it’s become more of a play by play on the episodes vs extras of what we don’t see. Either way I’m still going to listen!

I loved watching Girls Next Door when it was on E!. And also Hollys world! And I always thought Bridget was so cute when I’d see her hosting gigs. I started watching reruns when they put it on free tv and I’m still obsessed. I never was into Kendra or followed her after the show even tho she was entertaining, I always thought Holly and Bridget were the most authentic of the girlfriends. So glad they maintained a life long friendship out of their unique bond through Hef and Playboy. I wish them so much continued success and keep spilling the tea!! My millennial regression is fiendish for this content 💕

I watched the show when it was airing. Love Bridgett’s peppy positive attitude & I could listen to Holly talk all day! 🩷🩷 very interesting on how things really were versus what the producers wanted us to think! Happy you girls get the last word 😁

I, of course, loved Girls Next Door back in the day but it was sort of off my radar until my 25 year old daughter told me about this podcast this summer. I started listening in July and just yesterday caught up to the current episode! I neglected Bill Maher (haha), This American Life, Radiolab, and the rest of my regular podcast rotation for the last 3 months and fully immersed myself in this. I cannot begin to tell you how much I have loved this show. Why do I love it is so much? I could say it’s the inside stories, and they have been tremendously satisfying. I could say it’s the nostalgia—the world of Juicy Couture, Ed Hardy, and Pete Rose signing autographs in Vegas— those little details have been amazing! (I’ve been berating myself for getting rid of my turquoise Primp rabbit tank top ha!) But I think what keeps me enthralled is the banter — the shared memories— like the way it feels like when my friends and I get together—when you can’t finish a story because of the tangents! I love the tangents so much. The evolution of this show is also notable. I think Bridget and Holly are evolving in front of our eyes. I think as they are revisiting, dissecting and interacting with guests they are seeing things even they haven’t seen. Keep it up ladies! Love you guys so much!

Bridget & Holly are amazing and so happy they have made this podcast!

I loved the show and I love getting the chance to rewatch and relive the show with Holly and Bridget. This is a must listen for fans. Thank you ladies for this podcast!

I love listening to Holly and Bridget . They r just so real and there podcasts r really interesting. Crazy the life they lived at the mansion .

Holly and Bridget have always been such an icon and they are FINALLY spilling all the tea but also updating us where they are now. I still love following them. Sometimes it feels like we are on FaceTime with them. Definitely a fun girl podcast. Thank you Holly and Bridget for starting this!!

I loved Holly and Bridget on GND. Enjoy their banter and behind the scenes info! Keep up the great work ladies!

10/10 love this podcast!!!

I love that we get to have Holly and Bridget in our lives, love this pod, love H&B!! ❤️

Keep it coming! I’m loving the stories! The book reviews are my favorite! Even if they aren’t PB specific, I’d love to keep doing those!

I absolutely adore Holly and Bridget! I happen to have a lot in common with them in terms of our interests so when I tune in to an episode, it truly feels like listening to friends have a chat. They brighten every Monday and Thursday for me! I really enjoy hearing their behind the scenes perspectives about the show and learning about how editors can completely change a story line. Really interesting. I also think they are great interviewers and I appreciate that they always come with notes. Fabulous job ladies! I’m so happy you’re sharing your stories with us and congratulations on the success of your podcast! Much love 💕

The podcast is SO GOOD - answering all the questions I’ve had for 20 years. They address all issues head on - don’t shy away from any topic. Highly recommend listening to hear their perspective! I’m the same age as Holly and Bridget, and have been a huge fan from day 1 of Girls Next Door. I am go glad they are giving us more content - I’m also a Higher Level subscriber on their Patreon; I cannot get enough of Holly

As a teen, Kendra was my favorite. As a more traveled and experienced 30something, Holly & Bridget have become my girls! So relatable, genuine, engaging and entertaining. GNL makes my Monday mornings are little easier and gives me something to look forward to with each work week! Hot Tip: Subscribe to their Patreon if you need a little mid-week boost!

I listen to this podcast every day—- new release twice a week and on other days I relisten to older ones. Love to hear about their life now and during the Girls Next Door days. I hope they keep doing it for a long long time.

I was in college during the GND era and this is like catching up with old friends.

I watched gnd as a kid lol and re watched the show a few years ago . Absolutely love the podcast. Holly is great idk why all the other reviews are ripping on her so much . I look forward to the show and makes dreadful Mondays much better . Love you holly and Bridget !

I started watching GND for the first time this summer at my big age of 27. I quickly found the podcast and was thrilled for new content from the girls. I find Bridget so relatable, genuine and down to earth for the sweetheart she is. Holly feels a little distant like she did in the show but i have come to appreciate her for who she is. (I do find it a little funny that Holly tries very hard to be thoughtful of her word choice for certain topics but also freely speaks of her friendship with trisha paytas who is quite controversial for the opposite behavior) Still nothing but love for both Bridget and Holly 💖🎀

After having watched you girls in my 20’s on the “Girls next door” and listening to you now is like wow. To hear what what was really going on because you know when you watch it there is more to it than the show shows. I remember thinking I wonder what it is really like. So glad you made this show! You 2 are such great story tellers!!

I absolutely love watching along! You girls are so sweet!!

Do y’all think Hef didn’t want to divorce his wife until the boys were 18 because that would have meant paying child support, which would expose his finances in court, loosen his control over his wife and children, and likely be far more expensive than whatever he provided for them “out of the goodness of his heart”? I do. Warmly, Dr. NB

I watched the show when I was in college so it’s interesting and nostalgic to hear these stories now.

Only writing this review because of negative reviews about Holly. Holly is awesome. You guys are too critical. Bridget obviously loves her and respects her. Both the girls bring different personalities but that’s what makes it great. Editing is great to me. To say it needs work is too critical. I love that Holly said she still does the editing. That’s insane and so much work. These girls are so fun. It feels like hanging out with friends! Thanks for bringing some joy to my everyday.

It’s entertaining but Holly repeats herself SO much that it’s irritating. Like she will say the same thing 4 times in the same sentence. She also cuts Bridget off & tends to push her negative pov on her- but I’m glad Bridgette stays true to her own experience. The editing and production can use some major help.

5 stars for Bridget but .5stars to holly. Holly please relisten to these episodes and notice how condescending you are to Bridget. And how many times you cut her off to tell your opinion on one of her emotions. I understand her autism but i feel like she could actively work on this by listening to the episode from a non selfish perspective

please don’t ever end this podcast!!!!! My favorite!!!

Loving their perspectives 🌸

I look forward to this show every week. The girls are awesome and I love hearing all the stories from the mansion days

Holly is a professional victim. Bridget, she brings your energy down.

I was in college when this series first aired and I loved it so much, I bought the DVDs! I listen to this on my way to work every day! Glad to see you both are doing well! Keep it up! (P.S. Holly, I read your book and it was awesome! ❤️)
