I put on 50 pounds last year after my daddy died of pancreatic cancer. It was very sudden he died just a few weeks after his diagnosis and I feel like I ate to fill my sadness
His obsession with bunnies and that whole branding was meant to depict innocence with a promiscuous undertone... people always say f*ck like bunnies; because in nature bunnies have a lot of sex but are also timid, soft and sweet. Goes with the girl next door theme, a girl who is sexual but not in a vixen sort of way.
I never made that connection- thank you for connecting the dots, that totally makes sense- it's sad his secrets were kept under wraps until after he could be held accountable!
Love you Zack! I think Hef hated women deep down. I'd love to know what his mother and father were like. In one of the early episodes, they said he got rejected by a women he was into. Then started the whole playboy, pipe smoking pimp thing.
He seemed to have really been traumatised by his girlfriend cheating while he was in the military. He still married her after she told him . But it seems he thought it gave him free rein to do what he wanted
Thank you so very very much for reviewing this documentary haven't had a chance to watch it it's so long and drawn out glad you're going to give me the juicy Cliff notes thank you XO
I listen to Holly and Bridgets podcast called Girls Next Level and Bridget opens up alot about her experience and its not too bad of a Podcast worth checking out
You kids don’t realise how things were back in those days. Our mothers weren’t allowed to work when they got married or pregnant, depending on the job. Even me, in my 60s, had to leave my career at 7 months pregnant. Sex was the missionary position in seperate single beds for many so along comes Hef & his bunnies and it was considered glamorous & risqué and it coincided with the 1960s when women had access to the Pill so started sexual liberation. Hef might have had some trouble with the feminist back then but he wasn’t out there trolling for women. These were ambitious women who wanted to bag themselves a rich husband. Let make that VERY clear.
At the start sure, it definitely appears that way. But as the rise in Playboy came up, it seems the more he got off on getting away with having power over them
@@justplainzack don’t we see that ALL the time. People get a whiff of power and /or big money and they change & not usually for the better it seems. I guess we just don’t hear about the other ones. I had friends who were air hostesses, called themselves space waitresses back then in the 80s & 90s. If someone was reported as looking a little heavy they were flown across the country to head office to be weighed. Very humiliating. Different times.
Bobby was Hef’s personal assistant and she was also the one that would transport the drugs from where they came from she would fly them back to the mansion… when the cops arrested her she wouldnt say a word to them due to her loyalty to Hef … Bobby killed herself because she wasnt saying a word to the police and they were applying more and more pressure to her to talk and she took her life … she didnt wanna talk or spend time in prison for trafficking drugs and i think they were trying to get her for distribution as well … i dont think Hef had Bobby killed but i do think he threatened her not to open her mouth !! She was extremely loyal to Hef she went were he went business wise , she was always by his side and handled alot of shit for him and u already know she held his secrets they were very close !!! Even people around then would say the same .
He didn't climax because he didn't want any unwanted pregnancies so it might have been more prevention rather than he couldn't physically get there because he wasn't mentally/emotionally into them
Story is that Hef paid for that photo or photos of Marilyn from the photographer .. he never had Marilyn’s permission to publish those first photos !! She wasnt too happy when she saw or was told about being in the magazine …
You are so good at these book reviews I wish I had waited for you instead of watching it because it was damn triggering. you make it lighter as much as you possibly can for this subject. Doing a deep dive into Hefner's childhood and background would be fantastic.. Thank you Zack 🙏✌️💓
Always been fascinated by playboy and def need to see these documentaries on it all. I remember after he died there was stories of tapes he had and wonder how fast they were destroyed. And stories of people at the mansion died. Its scary and as a kid I remember we all wore playboy logo, crazy to think back to
I'm older & remember most of the men's magazines (that's what they were called) came out. Playboy was the classier one, Hustler the slezzyest one. Anything else was in the middle. Playgirl came out much later to equal the market out a bit, "something for the ladies" was the market target back then. Burt Reynolds was in that one. It was actually fairly classy as well. As far as Hef went, he was so afraid of being alone & old age, the girls were his way of escaping reality (as well as his public persona bringing him attention) He had the money to bribe them with. I wouldn't do him on a bet for any vast sum of money or possible fame. I don't put the girls who did down though. Not at all. No doubt a lot of crap went down there, I just wish the girls went out the door they came in - faster! I enjoy your book clubs & interviews, I started watching recently. I'm a fan of all three of the original Girls Next Door. I'm glad most of the really dark stuff eased off before their time & the original crap they dealt with ended. Hef & his PB world had already lost relevance to the point of going out of business, the end of everything was inevitable before his death. Side bar... Considering the subject matter here, Christian church ads. lol
Michelle Michelle : what they found in his room when he passed away was the books he had been working on for years on his life story only books? I thought his last wife found stuff to confirm what Holly has said and ... I can only imagine what else ....
Anna Nicole Smith was in the shadow mansion circuit though and she was obviously an 11 by playboy standards. I know other playmates who were in the lower shadow circuits as well. Just saying it’s deeper. Not just the throw aways or less than 10s.
It seems like Dr. Mark Saginor's trouble with the licensing board (thus his ability to write prescriptions) started about the same time as the quaaludes disappeared. Makes you wonder 🤔
Just came across this channel. Very informative and accurate. I saw the Playboy documentary. What a pig Hefner was. Just an absolute gross and disgusting pervert! Great show Zack!
Ever heard the phrase “bang’in like bunnies?” 😂 Bunnies pro create like CRAZY! that’s why he chose it, it’s a bit of a literal metaphor-if that’s a thing? lol a pun? Idk something like that, and he wanted it to exude class, so he made it a gentlemen rabbit w/the iconic bow tie, since the magazine was clearly geared toward men. That’s what Hef said.
Zack maybe you can help me no one else will answer me!!! I'm Un tech savoy because of some fraud on my acct. I only have that money app. Bur haven't figured out how to join with it??? They all want me to go thru either phone bill or Google I think it is??? I just need some help!!! If you could help me I would appreciate it!!!
I just recently found your channel, even when people are rude in the chat, you handle it with so much class. Thanks for recapping this, I didn’t watch it, but enjoy the recaps. 🫶🏽💕
Most only fans dont make much money I don't trust the woman that waited until he was dead before they said anything Im disgusted by the girlfriends that got more woman for him then after his death after still going to the mansion kissing his ass then came out saying bad things about what he did
Zach, I encourage you to educate yourself about the Commonwealth before you read Revenge. Americans just don’t know what it is but we make up 1/4 of the world’s population, most of whom are black & there are 2.5 BILLION of us.
Zack if you can't help me could you tell me where to go to get help? I'm sorry I hate being needy!!! I'm just at a loss!! Plus with 4th degree burns on my foot I can't walk or drive already have to depend on my family for so much!!! Please 4give me I'm not normally needy in fact...I'm usually the one helping others which this is killing me to have to ask for help!!! Anyway any" help" you can give in this matter would be greatly appreciated!!!! Love you so very much!!!❤️😘🤟🥰💯
The fact that the Shannon Twins now weigh well over 200 lbs speaks to their mental and emotional state. It's like they've put on a protective layer.
This. After my assault I put on 65 pounds
@@blairg8171 me too. :(

Lots of people who used coke and meth blew up after they quit the drugs that caused them starvation

Bunnies are prey animals

He was smart enuf not to use the vixen symbol.
You are so great in reviewing , it's like I am watching the series. Really enjoy your reviews!
Yay, thank you!

Yes, we need a deep dive into his upbringing!
He seemed to have really been traumatised by his girlfriend cheating while he was in the military. He still married her after she told him . But it seems he thought it gave him free rein to do what he wanted
Thank you so very very much for reviewing this documentary haven't had a chance to watch it it's so long and drawn out glad you're going to give me the juicy Cliff notes thank you XO
This was such a great recap, despite the dark topic. Looking forward to next weeks book club! ☺️
Throughout the docuseries they said Hef was a voyeur more than a participant.
I listen to Holly and Bridgets podcast called Girls Next Level and Bridget opens up alot about her experience and its not too bad of a Podcast worth checking out
So gruesome. Thank you for sharing, your story telling is 🔥
Barbie from 60's and 70's was pretty iconic without a show!
Yes yes pls, can you add the bravo book club to the podcast! That would be awesome. Thank you
Great recap Zack. I think the Bunny reference was that phrase of how rabbits procreate all the time--- you know what I mean.
Ah good point!!
I always smash the like button and am subscribed!!!

OK love you Zack thanks for all you do !! ❤️😘🤟🥰💯
Fill in- What about John Travolta at Mansion?
Omg yes food for comfort is a real thing!!! I went thru that!!!
It really is!
I don’t He loved anyone but himself & I think he was a complete narcissist.
Story is that Hef paid for that photo or photos of Marilyn from the photographer .. he never had Marilyn’s permission to publish those first photos !! She wasnt too happy when she saw or was told about being in the magazine …
That is correct

The hefner family sold playboy when hef died on his filthy floor
They all knew what they were getting into and they jumped in both feet
New sub from South Africa and what you are doing is amazing. 💯 support you and you rock
He stuck with his original message
Who is that!!!
Love you Zack which Adam introduced you to me and...he doesn't answer me either????
Most only fans dont make much money

Im disgusted by the girlfriends that got more woman for him then after his death after still going to the mansion kissing his ass then came out saying bad things about what he did
Possible, was he over
compensating because he was gay ?
Omg!!!!
