Summary
Come back to Chicago with Holly and Bridget as they discuss the word "bimbo" and how the meaning of the word has changed over the years, as well as how bimbo culture was at once fostered and rewarded at the mansion but also made fun of on the show. The girls get into the "backdoor pilot" that's hidden in the episode, who was thrown under the bus, performative sexuality, the football player who did NOT want to be on their show, an Al Capone Mandela effect, which of the mansion's dogs was the most difficult, and why Hef reminds Holly of Kylie Jenner.
The girls recount visiting the original Playboy mansion in Chicago, why makeup artists weren't allowed in their rooms and if the show believed women could be smart and funny at the same time.
