Summary

In this relaunch episode of Be Here For A While, Rachel sits down with Marston Hefner, son of Hugh Hefner, for a conversation that goes far beyond the headlines. From growing up at the legendary Playboy Mansion — complete with elaborate, custom-built Halloween haunted houses — to becoming a high-level backgammon player wagering thousands of dollars in a single night, Marston opens up about intelligence, probability, risk, and identity. This isn’t a tabloid conversation. It’s a thoughtful, funny, and self-aware deep dive into strategy, psychology, and carving your own path when your last name already carries a legacy. Smart, surprising, and refreshingly honest — this is how Be Here For A While returns.

So I had gotten in my truck because, admittedly, when I was like, oh, the storm took out the Wi-Fi, that was a lie. We don't have Wi-Fi at our house because we live in the middle of fucking nowhere.
1:11.6	I lived in L.A. for like 15 years and lived it well.
