As a radio host, I listen to a lot of podcasts and tend to be pretty critical about what I hear. That said, I am hooked on Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt's Girls Next Level show. I even bought their sweatshirt. On a recent episode, Madison opened up about where she would most love to live. It's not Detroit, sorry.

Madison is known in Las Vegas, Nevada, for her time headlining the Peepshow at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. She was there from July 2009 to October 2012. But, well after that show ended, she still loves Las Vegas. During a Q&A on her podcast Girls Next Level with Marquardt, the former Playboy ladies were asked, "What are your dream locations in California to live?"

First, Madison talked about where she lives now, which is in the Hollywood Hills. But, she admitted that her dream location isn't in California, of course. "In a way, I kind of feel like I live in my dream location," Holly says on the show. "Ever since I knew what the neighborhood I'm now was, I wanted an original house from that neighborhood."

She adds, "A weird story is that when I was in grade school, I was outside playing with friends, and we were talking...like, where do you want to live when you grow up?" So, she said she wanted to live in the Hollywood Hills. "And I didn't even know what that was, except that I read somewhere that Madonna lived in the Hollywood Hills, and I loved Madonna. And I never thought about it again. But, I was on a walk one day and realized that I live really close to the house Madonna lived in at that time. I was like, woah, I kind of manifested this a long time ago."

That's when she admits to her love for Vegas above anywhere else. "But to be honest, I would not mind being in Vegas more full-time than I even am now," she says. "I just really love Vegas. I know that's not in California. That doesn't count!" We wish it was Michigan! Listen to Holly's podcast here, where they also talk about Bench Warmer Cards.
