Crystal Hefner welcomed her stepson, Marston Hefner, to the first segment of her YouTube podcast, "Beneath the Surface," where she discusses different topics with various figures that have impacted her life. At the beginning of the episode, which was recorded in 2023, Crystal acknowledged that she hadn't seen Marston in six years. They recalled the last time they were together, which was on a family trip to Disneyland in 2017, following Hugh Hefner's passing. In addition to Marston and Crystal, David, Christie, and Cooper Hefner were also present at the family get-together.

Throughout their conversation, it was clear that Marston and Crystal don't typically stay in touch. At one point, the former Playboy Playmate even shared how she'd heard that Marston got married and had a child, meaning he didn't directly keep her in the loop even on bigger developments. However, despite the apparent lack of regular communication, Crystal and Marston reconnected easily on the podcast. They touched upon Crystal's relationship with Hugh, with the model opening up about how she really felt about the controversial mogul. 

Recalling the first time she saw Hugh, Crystal noted, "He was very nice. He was very magnetic," adding, "I felt like I was in this magnetic pull." The duo also reminisced about the Playboy founder's legacy and even admitted that they would love to still be living with each other in the notorious Playboy Mansion. At the end of their trip down memory lane, Marston and Crystal reaffirmed their love for each other, indicating there's no bad blood between them.
