What is up, daddy gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy.
Cathy Hilton, welcome to Call Her Daddy.
Thank you. Thank you for having me.
Oh my God. I am like honored to be here with you today. You are iconic. You are. Do you
know that?
Thank you.
You know that. Well, I feel like that word's thrown around so much.
But it's true, it's really true.
Did you tell Paris you were coming today?
Yes, in fact, I was texting with her last night
and then she called this morning and I said,
"'Do you like her?'
She goes, "'I love her.'"
Okay, do you call your daughters
before you agree to do something and like ask them their
opinion usually or no?
Yes, I would say yes.
When it comes to, I don't do a lot of podcasts.
I was in Europe when I got the invitation.
And so do you know Kate Hudson?
Yes.
Kate's one of my best, best friends.
She's the best.
He's like, you are doing this.
Yeah.
And then my friend, Mark Mullet, do you know Mark?
No.
He's like, you're doing this.
And he was on the boat.
I love her, she's great, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So I thought it was fun.
So everyone on the boat is like team Call Her Daddy.
That's good to know.
They loved it.
Thank you guys.
Okay, great.
Okay, so have you ever gone and done something that Nikki and Paris were like, mom,
do not fucking do that. Why are you doing it? And you did it anyways.
Yes. Okay. The housewives of Beverly Hills.
Oh really? They weren't into it. No. Really? No.
But you know, for the last few years, the press would say, oh, I'm doing it when I wasn't.
And so I definitely thought about it, talked about it with my boys, my husband, and they
were like, yeah, what the heck, why not do it?
And why did Paris and Nikki not want you to do it?
I just, I don't know.
I think they just wouldn't want me on a show where there's a lot of drama.
Wait, who, me?
Drama?
You?
No way.
So now they love it and they enjoy it
and they get a kick out of it.
But at first they were a little nervous.
Okay, between Paris and Nikki,
who is more likely to raid your closet?
I would say both.
Now they both have a bigger shoe than I do
and smaller dress size, but as far as accessories,
whatever is there is theirs.
Is there anything in your closet
that you are so particular about
that you're like, you cannot touch this one thing?
You know what, I'm really good like that.
Whatever they want to borrow, I'm great.
I'm okay.
I'm like flattered that they like what I have.
Who is more likely to send drama
and like gossip in the family group chat?
Probably Nikki.
Love it.
No, I mean, Nikki knows what's going on.
Okay.
More than Paris?
She keeps up with everything within the family. She doesn't
gossip about other people. Who is most likely to call you for mom advice? Both. Both. Both. Often?
Not that often, but when they really need it. What do you think is like your best
trait as a grandmother? We were just with my son Baron and daughter-in-law Tessa, the three little
ones in Las Vegas and just we have a good time together. The little girl, Relu and then Caspian,
they're like, we want to go with you. I'm gonna go up with your room." So it was cute. We brought them up there and-
And your baby voice is amazing.
I have lots of voices.
Kathy, wait, pull them out.
Be like, hi, I'm Kathy, and a couple of your voices.
Okay, I have a Labooboo voice.
What?
I was gonna bring you a Labooboo.
No way.
Yes.
But I thought if I dress the Labooboo,
I said, should I bring her a Labooboo
and I can put some jewelry on it and a little handbag?
She goes, Paris goes, she'll love that.
But I figured if I did that,
I'd be another 10 minutes late
because I'm running around.
Wee, how do you know about Labouboos?
How did you get into Labouboos?
Well, I'm a toy collector.
You are?
Mm-hmm.
Wee, what do you collect?
And then we have to go back to your voices.
Dolls, teddy bears, soldiers,
I mean, everything you could think of.
How long have you been doing that?
Since I'm little Barbies.
Does your husband, is he okay with it?
Or is he like, this is bordering on hoarding?
Like what is going on?
No, no, because I have a toy room,
like I have a playroom for the children.
Okay.
But a lot of my things are in it,
like my doll collections in this doll house that lights up.
Oh my God.
And I enjoy it.
So then you got into LeBubu's.
So I got into LeBubu's, I was in the mall in Las Vegas
and I see all these people and I'm like and then they have the
bigger ones which I love that kind of fun pop art. Okay. So do you oh good you
do okay. Water. Water. Is this real water? That's real water. Okay. That's real water.
Okay great. I like this class. That's real water. Thank you. So there are like so many people in this little store
and I'm thinking I can't wait in line,
I've gotta get going.
So I took a picture, took a card,
took a picture of everything
and a couple days later got home and I left a DM
and I got a call back.
Wait, and when you're getting these little booboos
and you said you're DMing,
people do often just slide into people's DMs?
Yes, you do.
Mm-hmm.
Who's the-
I called him and he called me back like two hours later.
Oh.
And he said, I'm in town and I can come meet with you at your house.
And who is this man again?
With Laboobo.
So I'm like, okay.
And so Rick's like, are you sure? I mean, what if it's a crazy nut
you've got coming into the house, whatever, whatever. So I then canceled and we thought,
you know, we'll have them at the party and it'll be the daytime. And they brought all the little
accessories, all the little handbags, little glasses, purses, everything.
Shoes.
I'm dying at you just like sliding into people's DMs,
being like, come on over, and Rick's like,
sweetie, you can't just invite random people on Instagram
over to the house.
You're like, oh, that's kind of fair.
Who's the most random person you've ever DMed?
Or the most famous?
Yeah, I don't, I mean, it wouldn't necessarily have to be
somebody famous, it's if I want something.
You're gonna go for it.
I'm gonna get my hands on it.
Yeah, okay, Kathy, you kind of are known for pranks,
I feel like.
Yes.
Like you're good at these pranks,
which of your daughters is most likely to engage
with you in a prank?
Both.
Paris will get on the phone actually.
Nicky's more the cheerleader in,
here dial this number.
But it's never mean spirited.
No, it's fine.
It's always, and even though it's fun and it's silly,
I always call back within 10 minutes because,
you know, I don't want them up all night wondering
who is this lunatic that called me.
What do you think is personally one of the best pranks that you've ever pulled off?
I would say calling a friend of mine.
And she is a wonderful mother, but she is not the type that's going to remember the
teacher's first name or last name or what grade. So I called up and I said that it was Mrs. Morton calling,
and we noticed that she were not there at drop-off. We were very, very upset. You had
signed up for pizza day. At the beginning of the year, all the parents sign up back to school night. They sign up for pizza day. Oh,
I'll do this. They're gung ho on everything. But of course she doesn't write any of it down or put
it in her calendar. So I said, we had 18 children here today that went hungry and 36 parents that were very upset.
So, I mean, and I do this whole thing.
And she's like mortified.
She's completely mortified and just, you know,
literally losing it.
So then I called it.
So are you using your little like fake voices
on these prank calls? Right.
Or I said you were supposed to show up at the carnival Are you using your little like fake voices? Right. On these prank calls.
Or I said, you were supposed to show up at the carnival and you'd signed up to do the
swing along and we had your name on it and you never showed up.
And she goes, Oh, I didn't realize that.
I said, well, if you'd like, I'd be happy at drop off today to hang hand out flyers to everybody to let them know that you did go ahead
and um uh donate she goes oh no no that's okay no i don't want you to do that i mean just like
silly things and then when you call her your friends back eventually and tell them are like
they like Kathy what the fuck yes that's amazing okay you're also known for that's like a juice
with electrolytes oh we love that we love, that's like a juice with electrolytes.
Oh, we love that.
We love that.
That's my drink, Unwell.
It's really important.
It makes you feel well.
Very important.
Kathy, you know what's up.
I'm very into all of this.
Me too.
And I won't mention names,
but there's one that we have to stay away from.
So.
There you go.
I'm really glad that you have Unwell.
Thank you.
Me too.
And so is the world.
Okay, you're also known for throwing great,
great, great parties.
What it, yeah, smile into the camera.
I hold it like that.
You're like Brandeel coming soon with Unwell.
You're a great sponsor, thanks.
What is a non-negotiable for you when you are hosting one of these big parties?
What do you have to have?
Well, I mean, I have to have...
I don't like making people dress up like, oh, the theme is everybody's a blue party
or a pink party, nothing like that.
But I just like to have a reason to have the party. I like to have
activations. We do a health and wellness twice a year and we get the true niogen does because I
do it every week. We do a drip, so everybody gets to come and have a drip and massage and tie this.
And I have, you name it.
I mean, everything you could think of, the best of the best, the latest, the greatest,
machines for the face.
I want to be friends with you.
Manicures, pedicures, life coaches, dogs, you can adopt a dog.
It's just, and we play folk music
and we've got big blankets out and pillows
and people bring their children, their dogs.
It's just a really cool day, healthy food,
handmade soaps, like beautiful things.
And then do these parties ever then turn into like ragers?
Only Christmas.
Okay, Christmas.
Christmas does.
Have you ever had to throw someone out of a party?
No, I just disappear.
Because I think that's rude.
And I have enough security there that they're watching everything.
So maybe you're gonna like whisper to them, but then you're gonna kind of like leave and
then they'll handle it. Exactly. Well, they're actually having so much fun and they're like,
oh, I'll have some scrambled eggs now. I'll have another glass of chal. Give me a Bellini.
They're there until four in the morning. Okay, but I've heard that you have a members only club
for certain guests after a party.
You keep people at your house.
I keep, I kidnap them.
You kidnap them.
And it's behind closed doors.
It's in the library.
There is a line.
There literally is standing room only.
I have bought like 16 little stools,
like little pull-ups like this.
And it's like, I have like Andy Cohen's,
like I have like the clubhouse.
Oh.
And then I have the big L sofa
and we've got the phones going and then we'll call people.
No, you're prank calling.
Prank calling people, telling stories.
I mean, just lots of fun.
And what does it take to get invited
to the After Members Only Club?
It's just really close friends that are going to participate,
you know, that have some contacts.
Oh, right.
So you're recruiting based on like...
You gotta give me some of your numbers.
But then it's fun because then everybody
in the beginning is like, hmm.
And then it's like the karaoke, nobody wants to do it.
And then before you know, wait, call this person.
And then it starts rolling.
Call this person, exactly.
Now you gotta block my phone number and it's hysterical.
Wait, that is so fun.
Cause I feel like I remember doing star six seven
when I was younger in high school with my friends
and we would do this.
But then I just gave up on it because I don't know.
I guess like I forgot.
I believe that star six nine was invented because of me.
I'm not kidding you.
You've been doing this for a while.
I've been doing this for a long time.
Did you do it with your sisters when you were younger?
Yes.
Okay, so this has been a part of your life forever.
Yes.
But now do you worry that people are gonna catch on to you
because you do it so often?
No.
No. ["Dotter"]
Okay, let's talk about Real Housewives. We gotta circle back.
Yep.
You mentioned that your daughters were like, mother?
No.
And then you ended up doing it.
What made you want to join?
Because if your daughters are like, mom, don't do it.
But you know what, it's okay for them to do things,
but it was during COVID, I was bored
and Kyle and I had been kind of separated.
And let me tell you, she works very hard.
It's a lot of work as a housewife.
You are busy filming for four months,
then you're doing promotion and press for two months,
then you're getting ready for the reunion.
I mean, it's a lot.
So it was fun way to spend time with her.
And also, you know, it's a great platform
to be able to do a lot of things.
Were you hesitant at all about not having control
of people filming you and being on reality TV?
No, because I've been around it so long.
Yeah.
I really have.
So I don't, you don't even think about, like none of the girls even
think about the camera being there. You don't even think about it.
KS How do you think the show impacted you and Kyle's relationship by you doing it?
KS We were like little girls again and having fun and laughing and just, I mean, I pulled some
pranks on her. K. Yes, you did.
And the fake martini and getting into bed with her
and annoying her, because I love to annoy her,
get a rise out of her.
We just laughed and had a really good time.
And I know obviously, I feel like the world has known
just because also of the show
that you guys have had a lot of ups and downs.
Like, what do you think it show that you guys have had a lot of ups and downs.
What do you think it took for you guys to get- I will say that it all gets exaggerated too. I mean, it really... I'll read things
four hours ago. Kathy and Kyle are still not getting along. What?
It's also like sisters. I feel like I have a sister,
so I know how it goes with sisters
and we can fight like no other.
And then, but she's like my person in this world.
She's my best friend.
So it's like, we can, I fight lit with her,
like I wouldn't with a friend.
Right.
But then it's my blood.
So I'm always coming back to her.
You know that we never, we never did. And it's interesting blood. So I'm always coming back to her. You know that we never did.
And it's interesting on this last reunion,
I said to the girls on this side,
I said, all right, wait a second.
I wanna say one thing right now.
And I'm gonna whisper to all of you girls,
how many times we have had a fight in our lives.
And I went like this, you know, three. I said, Kyle, how many times have we had a fight in our lives. And I went like this,
you know, three, I said, Kyle, how many times have we had a disagreement? She said three, you can watch it. So we're not
fighters.
Yeah, I think one of the major issues that everyone saw was
between you and Kyle was really just the tension between your
husband and her ex Mauricio. Do you have any advice
for people listening and watching that have not the most perfect relationship with their sibling's
partner? I think that got taken out of context a little bit too.
I like Maurice, I wish him the best. And we had a lot of good times together.
And he's the father of my nieces and I love my nieces.
All of our children are like siblings. And it's really sweet.
LS Do you think that situation, like would you want Kyle to get back with Marisa ever? Or are
you like happy for her now where she's at? KS I would want whatever she would, you know,
it would make me of course it would put a smile on my face. I don't like change. I like everybody, you know, and I don't
care how old your children are. It hurts. It doesn't matter if they're five or if they're 25.
Do you think you would ever join Real Housewives full time?
No. I've said that and I will. I couldn't.
Why? Because I have my husband,
I have my children, my grandchildren, I have other businesses and I would no way be able to devote
the time. I love the job I have. I can come in. I really, really have a good time with all the girls.
It's like a little girls club. It's a lot of drama though.
time with all the girls. It's like a little girls club. It's a lot of drama though.
You know, when I'm there, I try to make it,
I try to have the parties and the fun.
But are you like that in your normal life? Like you don't want to be a part of drama.
No.
But I feel like you'd be good in drama. Like if someone comes at you,
let me tell you something. If little hunky Dory gets pushed, but I don't want to get pushed. And I try my hardest just to keep the peace. How many times a year do you think you
get pushed? Not that often. And when you get pushed. Don't push me.
I feel like you're someone that's like could be really powerful with her words.
No, I'm joking. I'm really a very sensitive person.
I'm a Pisces.
Okay.
I can cry easily.
Both my girls are that way too.
Oh my God.
I'm obsessed with Hunky Dory.
Okay, you obviously don't have a tagline,
but let's come up with it right now.
What would your real housewives tagline be?
I may be the hostess with the mostess,
but I don't serve drama.
Boom!
Only diamonds and caviar.
Or the boo boo's.
Wait, that's good.
That's good, right?
Kathy.
That's good.
Okay, maybe you have to be full time for two seconds
just so that we can get you spinning
and we see you saying that.
I would be spinning and falling in high heels.
You'd look gorgeous doing it.
Okay, I'm gonna ask you some real Housewives rapid fire
and you're just gonna say whatever comes to your mind.
Okay.
Okay, who gives the best advice?
I think I do, because I have the most experience.
Okay, who's the most high maintenance?
Well, you know, on reality TV,
I don't think you get much of a chance
to be high maintenance.
Really? Yeah.
You're just bringing what's ever in your closet.
I'm bringing whatever fits.
And your fishnets. And your fishnets.
And my fishnets. They look cute, trendy.
Is my, well, Paris wears them. And I got that from her because I don't want to have orange legs.
Oh, is that what she does? And you can do this so that you don't
have to do the spray tan. I am really pale. Me too.
Are you? But I do the spray tan.
And I get hot. Me too. Are you? But I do the spray tan. And I get hot.
Me too.
So these breathe.
Wait.
I just bought an eyelet blazer.
I'm waiting to see, have you heard of Sheen?
Shin?
S-H-I-E-N.
Kathy.
It's like $22.
Kathy.
But it looks good.
And it's got eyelet.
So I'm thinking I'll breathe in this.
Wait, I'm gonna start crying.
First of all, what did you just say you bought?
An eyelet. What is that?
Do you know what eyelet is?
No.
It's like little circle, like a flower cutouts.
And you bought an eyelet blazer from Shein, Kathy Hilton?
You need to call Paris right now.
We need to call her right now and tell her this.
Do you have your phone?
Oh yeah, let's get the phone.
You know who will have it?
Is that my phone?
Okay, call Paris and tell her we're on air
and you need to tell her what you just told me.
Paris. Yeah, say hi. We're recording right now. You need to listen. I'm in the middle of the
interview with your mother and I go, oh, we're talking about something and she
goes, you know what I just do, have you ever heard of Sheen or Shein? And I'm like, yes.
And she goes, I just bought a blazer from there.
And it says, what is it?
What is it, Kathy?
It's eyelet.
It's eyelet.
Well, we were talking about,
I like these because they have holes.
So the fishnets, Paris, that you got me wearing.
Yeah.
So I don't have orange legs
and I can breathe because of the fish nets.
And so I bought an eyelet blazer for $22.
You know what eyelet is don't you?
Paris says that's hot.
Okay we love you Paris. Okay, Real Housewives, who is the most fun to party with?
Sutton, Erica, Dorit's a lot of fun. Rachel Zoe, I love Rachel. She's a great pal. She's like
part of the family. She's coming on. So we're going to Sedona tomorrow.
Oh.
So I'm thinking that could be the worst trip.
Okay.
Because it's going to be boiling.
Right. Are you going to bring your fishnets?
No, I'm not bringing any fishnets.
What are you going to wear?
I don't know.
That I'm really wondering, how am I gonna get around?
We need flowy and we need big hats.
Yes, but then my head gets hot.
What if you did one of those from Amazon
where you clip it so the top of your head is exposed,
but you get a little shade?
Oh, a visor.
The girls get very angry when I wear a visor.
The girls within your daughters or the housewives?
My girls.
Oh, they don't like it.
No.
I could see Paris Hilton being like,
absolutely don't wear a fucking visor, mom.
And Nikki does that too.
She's just, mom, please, that's so beyond.
But maybe, maybe you need to do that in Sedona.
Oh, I live in visors.
You do?
Well, I like it because they're tight right here.
Yeah.
And if you're like, I wear them even all the time,
because like if I'm by myself, I'm shy or whatever,
you don't have to make eye contact.
We're keeping it close.
Yeah.
What is a fashion absolutely no for you?
A fashion no for me would be leggings.
Really?
What about them?
I don't like, I like with a little bit of a,
I don't like the jeans like that look like they're sprayed on.
I like a tight fit.
The new jeans I'm loving are mousy.
Have you seen mousy?
No. Vintage?
No.
I think it's the best jean going right now.
Okay, so we want a little bit off the leg,
not spray paint. Right.
Okay.
Because it gives a good shape to the leg.
Mm-hmm, love that.
Kris Jenner has made some appearances on the show.
Do you think she'd ever join the cast?
I would love it if she did, but I doubt it.
I know.
That would be so iconic. It would be, it would be
iconic. We would have a lot of fun.
Can you explain to me how the Hiltons and the
Kardashians initially met and became friends?
Well, Chris and I were friends.
For how long?
Oh, years. When the girls were little girls.
Oh, okay. How did you guys meet?
We had done some charity things together. And so, Kaitlin and Chris and Rick and I,
we would go on trips together and go to New York and Las Vegas and you name it.
And the four of us and a couple other people would go down to the desert, really very, very close. And the kids
became close. And then they kind of, at a certain age, they go off and do their thing. So I called
Chris one day and I said, Paris is starting this TV show and she needs somebody that can be with her
and organize her. And I thought it would be a great opportunity
for Kim and Paris to have fun together.
But I know that she'll make sure Paris gets here on time.
And I just wanted Paris to have someone.
So we kind of set up this play date and she said,
I love it.
So the girls ran around the world together and had a blast.
Oh, that is like,
cause now you know obviously,
like that's what changed everything for everyone.
Like then it all just became,
and then these two women are like the most famous women
in the world.
Oh my God.
When I interviewed Nicole Richie,
she said that she and Paris were obviously inseparable
growing up.
Oh my God, so cute.
What was the most chaotic situation those girls ever got you into?
Well, we were in Las Vegas and Rick gets a call from the police
department that they had snuck out and they were in Las Vegas on the strip.
And so, I mean, Rick was furious.
How did you feel?
I was like, I mean, they were young, they weren't doing anything wrong.
They were probably like 11, but sneaking out, they just wanted to go and, you know,
they went and bought those big straws and I was like, Oh my God, or bring or going to the pet store.
And I was like, oh my God, or bring, or going to the pet store.
They, what they would do is they'd have lemonade stands. We used to have a house in Malibu in the colony, which is a very safe street.
It's off the Pacific coast highway.
So they'd make cookies and lemonade and ice tea and whatever.
And they'd make these signs and you have to drive very slow in there.
So you have a captive audience and they'd run up to people's cars and of course the people stop.
So they made a lot of money. So they would take their bikes across the highway and go to the pet
store, come back with a cat, a dog. I mean, this is a long time ago.
That's what like Nicole literally at one point had like a snake, like all. I mean, this is a long time ago. That's what like, Nicole literally at one point
had like a snake, like a rat, like they had all the-
Ferrets.
Yes.
Wait, were you wild growing up?
No, no, not at all.
Where do you think the girls got it from?
I don't know.
I was not at all.
I'm picturing you when you get these calls,
because I know eventually-
I mean, I snuck and had a couple cigarettes,
we'd go to Westwood Village,
and I remember going in the alley,
because I used to go to this place called Woody's
to play pinball, because I was a pinball wizard.
Oh, Kathy.
And I was a show off.
And I'd have my little bike and do little wheelies.
And oh yeah, so I'd rub pickles all over my fingers
to get the smell of the cigarette off.
Did that work?
Okay, see you had the awareness.
Like you knew how to get through,
like, okay, I can't have my parents know.
From A to C.
Uh-huh.
But I never wanted to, like, I just wasn't.
Yeah.
I didn't have it in me to want to, I had a lot of fun though.
Obviously there was so much that went on of you getting calls, wondering where
Paris was in moments in the chaos of like her teens and her twenties, but now
that she's a mother, how has your
relationship with her evolved?
I mean, I am so proud of her.
I'm proud of all of my children and she went through a lot and it breaks my heart.
But I have to tell you, I am literally bursting with pride.
And parents out there, you will get through it.
Every cell in her body of all my children, I am
proud of them and I love them.
And they're my everything.
And my grandchildren and my husband feels the same way.
They're our life.
Let's talk about your husband, your relationship.
You guys met when you were 15.
I was 15, he was 19.
What attracted you to him?
He looked like a blonde surfer.
How did you, where did you meet?
We met through a friend,
and he was going to school in Denver,
so he'd kind of go back and forth.
You guys got married when you were 20.
19.
19.
I had parents at 20.
Oh my God.
OK, wait, how did you know you were ready for marriage?
We had gone on this ski vacation to Lake Tahoe.
And when it was time to leave and to go back,
he was going to go to New York to go work for an
investment banking firm. So we are lying in bed watching the Flintstones, okay? And he looks at
me and he goes, you know, we need to pack up and everything. We'd been there for a while. And he
said, we need to go home and tell your
parents and my parents that we're going to be getting married. That's how he told me.
CB Well, what's your reaction?
JG I just remember driving back in this pickup truck to LA with him. And he dropped me at my house
and he said, I'm going to go home and take a shower and
then come back and pick you up. And I remember holding on to him and just like, starting to cry,
I don't want you to leave. Like not even for a minute. And it's been what 45 years of marriage?
How do you think over the 45 years you guys have grown together?
I think it's just I don't have one regret. I don't have one regret. I really believe that God was,
I really have angels there. Because coming from a divorced family, I never wanted that.
And I think that the girls really take that seriously. They really respected and they waited.
They wanted to find the right person. And my boys as well. Because a lot of their friends were their parents were divorced.
And when I was little, there wasn't as much of that. And I
almost felt shameful. Like that might sound strange. But it
bothered me.
I think that's normal. I think a lot of people, if you come from divorced family,
you're like, I want to do it different.
Or if you have parents that stayed together,
then you have the pressure of like, I need to have that too.
You're always kind of comparing yourself to what your parents had or didn't have.
So I can see where Nikki and Paris are probably like, oh my God,
we're looking up to this beautiful 45-year relationship.
Which is so sweet that they see that.
Yeah.
And that they say that to us.
Do you have any advice for people who are
watching that are looking to have a long lasting
relationship?
Like what does it take to have a long relationship
and a marriage?
I think it takes a lot of give and take.
You know, the old cliche, don't ever go to sleep mad. I think try to spend as much quality time together
and to keep the right influences around.
Like you don't want to have a couple around
that's fighting or, you know,
the guys watching the football game
and, oh, look at the cheerleader
she's so cute like if that was done with me that guy would never be in my house again when I was
younger. I love that I love that Cathy like I think I think you're right I do think it's like
sometimes you can look at friends around you and be like oh well at least that's not our relationship
but if you're allowing it to seep into you and you're
And it becomes, it becomes acceptable.
And you have to learn to keep it exciting and little mystery.
Oh, how do we do that?
And men don't want to hear a lot of gossip, complaining.
You really have to, whoever your partner is.
Okay, let's talk about the Cheesecake Factory.
Because-
What? The Cheesecake Factory? Oh my God.
I've heard that you and your husband have been spotted at the Cheesecake Factory and you guys
kind of love to go on date nights there. Is that true? We will go there once a month. Once a month?
Mm-hmm. Well, every couple months. Do you have a membership, like a card? No. You're like,
but can I get one? They should give me one of those things where you snap it. Yeah. They don't even give me a piece of cheesecake.
How did this become like a go to thing? He likes the wings there.
And what do you like there? The buffalo wings. And I like the meatloaf. I like the omelet.
And then they have a Monte Cristo on brunch, for brunch. What is a Monte Cristo?
Monte Cristo is a deep fried, like a croque monsieur
with ham and cheese and like French toast
and then powdered sugar and syrup.
They've got great brunch.
And the best brown bread.
So good.
And my husband loves cheesecake, so we bring our dog. You do.
Our dogs go to dinner with us everywhere. And the one dog, there's something about that place,
the dog wants to go over and sit with the people next to us. And we're on a, you know, bankette.
Right. So the dog will go and sit there and put his little head on their lap.
I love that for your dog, that's fun.
I know, is that cute?
I'm like, come back here, Moda.
Okay, on the show you revealed that you don't sext Rick,
but you have some steamy pictures
locked in your safety deposit box at the bank.
Yes.
What is the story behind these pictures?
He wanted to take those pictures when we were younger
and we were in Miami.
And there was a mirror on the ceiling.
So of course, but it's very tasteful.
I got into a very cute little position and you can't,
you know, just like the little side of my butt showing.
And so they're in the bank. you know, just like the little side of my butt showing.
And so they're in the bank. They're in the bank.
Not your house, say.
No, I moved everything out like five, six years ago.
Just in case.
Just, yeah, why?
Is there any other like interesting things
like that in the box?
No.
No, just those photos.
Exactly. And since they're
in the box, do you think Rick ever goes to the bank to look at the pictures or they just there?
No, I don't think he's over at the bank. Okay.
What is your go-to excuse for getting out of plans?
It's kind of hard to do that.
I don't like saying no. I know. So I'll say to my husband, Rick,
can't you tell them? And he'll go, no, you have to learn to do that. I go, we've been married 45
years. If I haven't learned it by now, it's so easy because he's blunt. He is very blunt and he's very
easy to say no. But for me, it's hard. So I usually don't say no and I go.
You go or use Rick and he'll say no. Exactly. Um, okay, what has
been your biggest slip up on social media?
Okay. When I first remember what it was.
Lots of love, lots of love, yeah.
Something like that, but it was-
It's laugh out loud.
But everybody knew that it was new to me and I was forgiven. Can you imagine? And I by mistake put out my phone
number and put out a text on my story or on my page, something like that. Yeah.
I don't know. I get these, I get into these mix-ups.
And is it like your daughter's calling you be like, mom?
Yes, they get mad. They get mad.
I also page them.
You page them?
I used to page them and people were very helpful.
They didn't get mad at me.
A few people said you use this as a, like it's your answering machine or these are all
your insta secretaries or whatever.
But I would page them and I'd say, please, please help me to get Paris or Nikki to call
me right away.
And so their phones start blowing up.
And who are you paging?
The girls, because they're not answering their phone.
And you're paging people to get the girls
to answer their phones?
On Twitter.
On Twitter?
Yes.
Wait, wait, wait, Kathy, you're on Twitter.
Yes.
That's what you mean by paging.
Yes.
Okay.
And I get all, I put at all little Hiltons.
And there's like millions of little Hiltons.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
So the phones are just blowing up and going off and.
You're tweeting.
Yes.
At all the Hilton's.
Right.
Like Paris' fans.
Yes.
Can you get in touch with my daughter?
And have her call me right away.
And when I lived in New York,
I used to call the, I figured out,
I'd call the New York Post and I'll never forget, I'd to call the, I figured out I'd call the New York Post
and I'll never forget, I'd say, how do I find out? So he'd answer city desk and it would be
1230 at night and say, do you know where Paris Hilton is right now? But I became friends with
him. He said, uh, hold on ma'am. And I think he began to feel sorry for me.
So he said, she just left, what is it?
Bar eight or what is it?
Bungalow eight?
Yeah.
She was seen at 1229 and I believe she just walked
into whatever because they would track them
because of the paparazzi. Oh my god. They'd know exactly. But
how nice that that man, he had your back. He's listening. Yes.
Thank you. And I was like, thank you so much.
I'm dying at you tweeting. And you call it paging. That's
amazing. Paging. tweeting. Same thing. Same thing. Same thing.
Okay, what is the most embarrassing thing you've done after too many martinis?
And I would say probably inviting people to go and do something or go on a trip or go down to
the desert the following week, like that weekend. And then I'm thinking, oh my God, how am I going
to get out of this? Something like that, like you're all excited
and it all sounds good.
Do you do that often?
No, no.
But on your third martini, you're-
Yes.
Hey, you want to go to Palm Springs together?
Right, exactly.
You don't even know their last name.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, what is a story you've tried to get killed
in the media?
Let me tell you something.
What I've learned is there is not one person that could say that I've ever played ball with them. One
person, because once you start, I would never want anyone to have that on me.
I actually, years ago, I met with Richard Johnson.
Who's that?
He was the head guy at Page Six.
And I said, my husband and I would like to meet with you.
And we met at our club doubles at like four o'clock in the afternoon, the Sherry, Netherlands.
And he came down and he was doing his job, whatever.
But it was, I said, this is becoming harassment.
And it's not fair.
One day you'll have children.
And what if this was your daughter?
Because, you know, you would see a story,
some little schmuck promoter, club promoter,
and then they tie it to a model,
then they tie it to the restaurant,
and you'll see five or six names and make up something.
And sometimes the things could be true,
and sometimes the good things that they say aren't true.
But it was a daily, it was every single day.
And I said, this feels like stalking.
This has gotta stop.
I mean, that's pretty commendable that you can sit here and be like, I've never, because I know, obviously, in the heyday of Paris with paparazzi, it probably was easier maybe in someone's mind at some point to be like, can we just pay these people off to stop?
And the fact that you were like-
You don't ever want to do that because then they own you. I came from a place of person to person.
Like this is beyond.
Yeah.
This is not fair.
I have three other children.
My husband and I, we're trying to live our life
and this is.
Do you feel like it worked?
Like, did he let up a little?
I don't know.
But good for your conscience.
It was almost like living in The Wizard of Oz
with the little witch and the broomstick
just following you around.
Like, knowing, like, and coming up with things.
You know, they get calls.
I wish that a source saying, the source, really?
Well, we need to say who the source is.
I agree with that.
If it's a source, then say the name of the source.
Yeah.
That should be a new rule.
Right?
Let's put that into motion.
Yeah, let's go, Kathy.
I'm taking that to Washington.
Let's go.
Okay, who is your celebrity hall pass?
What do you mean?
What do you mean? Hall pass. What do you mean? What do you mean?
What do you mean by that?
Kathy.
A hall pass?
Like a crush?
A hall pass.
If you, in another world, could, you wouldn't actually, like it's fun.
Oh, who is your hall pass?
Who would you sleep with if not your husband?
And not even like that.
Like who's your guy?
You know what I mean?
Like who would be your celebrity hall pass?
Okay.
Okay, a crush.
Let's say you're a crush.
Only one.
Who?
If I didn't know my husband.
If.
Yeah, your husband doesn't even exist.
And you know, I was younger. Yes.
I'm just gonna give an initial. How the fuck am I gonna find that out? Okay, give me an initial.
I'm embarrassed. Don't be. Be. Yes! We sit here for an hour. Yeah. Brad Pitt.
Yeah.
Oh my God, don't be embarrassed.
Okay, have you ever Irish goodbye
your own party to go to bed?
Yes.
How often are you doing that?
If you're having five parties,
how many times are you doing that?
Well, during the holidays, I have five or six.
So I will do it, you know, when it starts getting really late,
because I go up and I change like this.
When people are still there all dressed up,
but I'm, you know, I slide into the members, the library.
You have to come over to the library sometime.
I mean, I'd be honored for the invite.
Wouldn't that be fun?
I promise I'll bring my-
Bring your Rolodex. I'll bring my Rolodex, Kathy. be honored for the invite. Wouldn't that be fun? I promise I'll bring my-
Bring your Rolodex.
I'll bring my Rolodex, Kathy.
Bring your phone with you.
I'll bring it, I'll bring it.
Okay, have you ever texted the wrong person
something shady about them?
Yes.
Oh!
Or said something.
Yes.
And there, well, it happened to me like yesterday.
No, it would happen.
I am saying that we have to tell this girl to move it along and we gotta land the plane.
And I didn't realize, because I was getting my hair washed, that she was standing right
there.
No.
And I love her.
But I'm like, we gotta explain to her, we gotta move this along, we gotta land the plane, you know?
Who are you saying that to?
To my hairdresser.
And the woman was sitting right there.
Right.
Oh my God.
So I was like.
You're like, Patricia.
Then I go, you know Labine?
And she's like, Labine?
I go, yes, Labine.
Cause you're just trying to like,
we, and so did you pretend you weren't talking about her?
Yeah, I get into a whole big thing to mix it up.
Right, we were just talking about how-
You know Labine, remember Labine?
And she's like, I feel like I've heard that a lot.
And I'm like, yeah.
That's who we're talking about.
Exactly. Don't you agree?
And she's like, but you just said my name.
You're like, cause I saw you standing over me
and I wanted you to join the conversation.
Sometimes we will refer to people,
Paris will do the same thing too, like a jewel.
Wait, are you saying like,
so that you give them like a code name?
Like the guy is a jewel.
A jewel.
Like he's not great.
He's not cute.
Okay.
Right?
So we're calling them a,
so you call them what?
A jewel.
Okay.
And that's what you call everyone
that you are talking about?
Yeah, and the girls do too.
So we, and they're friends.
So we know what we're talking.
They know what I mean.
But it's code.
So one person said to me,
I'll never forget.
So what do you mean a jewel?
I go, you are a jewel.
You're a jewel of a person.
I mean, a jewel is,
they're like, I was so embarrassed
because I felt like they kind of got it.
Or Paris and Nikki, like if we're somewhere
and we're getting a service, right?
They'll go, did you talk to Billy?
Like, did you get the bill?
Oh, interesting.
So you have a lingo, so people around you wouldn't know what you're saying.
And then did you talk to Tipper? How long will the party, how many people are going to be at
the party? Like, what do you think we should, you know, we've got to make this a little extra
special because they've given us so much time. How many people do you think should be at the party?
Right?
And did you talk to William or Billy?
That means do you have cash on you?
You guys have actual code language going on.
Well, because I remember in-
I maybe only have $20 in my purse
or I'd have a hundred or something.
So did you talk to Bill?
So then we kind of-
No, I have nothing.
I haven't talked to him at all.
I have nothing for him.
Yeah.
So we have this language that has developed over the years.
Well, on Beverly Hills,
I remember the iconic scene where Kyle is sitting there
and she's like, Kathy speaks in like halves.
She'll be like, and then they obviously said,
cause you know what I'm saying.
You know what I'm saying.
And then we were there, obviously.
Well, my feeling is I think it comes from being on QVC.
I swear to God, every minute is money, every second.
So I am, and so if I do know there's a camera around,
I'm talking really quick because also
there's seven other girls and I won't get anything,
I won't be able to talk because they're all talking.
Have you ever cried over a bad haircut?
Frizzy hair.
If my hair doesn't look good, that's not good.
That's not good.
I'm just like so sad.
Are you putting a lot of work into it?
Straightener.
Straightener.
Like what are you gonna do with your hair
on this trip tomorrow?
Condition, I know that's what I'm worried about.
Did you ever go up?
No.
You know what, I think I'll throw it up,
I'll wear the visor.
Uh-huh.
Throw it up.
And just throw it up.
Like you can look cute with a little claw clip visor.
I live in claw clips.
Okay, and like a little messy,
maybe a couple like pieces down.
Little pieces hanging down.
And a cute earring.
And Rachel will put my lashes on for me.
Okay, boom.
So I feel like I look a little cute that way.
Uh-huh, that's so nice to have friends
that know how to do that.
I don't know how to put fake lashes on.
Well she knows how to do her own makeup. That's so nice to have friends that know how to do that. I don't know how to put fake lashes on. Well, she knows how to do her own makeup.
That's so nice.
So that's really great.
Lashes are hard.
Cause if you get them wrong,
it looks janky.
Right?
It's like, oh, you look like,
you look like you had them on the next floor.
The worst is when I'll say, honey, does this look okay?
I feel like it's kind of, he goes,
well, it's kind of hanging off on the side.
Just take them off.
You're like, okay, nevermind.
Okay, Kathy, we're at the end.
I wanna know, to people that maybe like have seen you on TV
but weren't as familiar with you
and maybe got to know you more today,
like what is one thing you want them
to really know about you?
Miss Kathy Hilton. I think I would want to be remembered or whatever as a kind person fun.
And, you know, I try to do the right thing.
And I just I want people to be nice.
You know? Yeah, that's amazing.
You were so fun.
You have a great energy.
Like I can now see this members club gets so kooky and fun.
Oh yeah.
Thank you so much for coming on.
This was fabulous. It was fabulous. Easy, right?
Fun, yeah. It wasn't too scary and it was light.
I mean, I'm not scared because I have nothing to be scared about. When you think about it,
when you get to the point where I am in my life, I never would have done any of this.
You're like.
But it's like, you know what?
How fun.
Why not?
Because I have nothing.
You have no worries.
I have no worries.
You've got your comfort pillow.
I got my little pillow.
Oh wait, give me a sign off in one of your voices
of just like to say daddy gang.
I had so much fun today.
But you have to, I'm going to say that.
I'm going to say two things
and then I'm going to say daddy gang what?
Just say what their name is daddy gang.
So like whatever, like thanks for having me on.
I love you guys.
But the daddy of these, the fans.
Yeah, these are the fans, but we need your voice.
Okay. First I'm going to tell you,
okay, close your eyes.
I say this to my husband,
but it's my libubu voice.
Okay, I'm closing my eyes.
So close your eyes.
Everyone close your eyes in the room.
I'm kind of shy and embarrassed, okay?
Okay.
All right, I'm gonna do it into the speaker here.
I'm hungry.
Did you understand what I said?
Do it again.
I'm hungry.
Oh my God.
Did you just say me hungry?
Yes.
Now one more. Okay. Do it again. Me hungry. Did you just say me hungry?
Yes.
Now one more.
Okay.
Me tired.
Me tired.
And are you doing this to your husband pretending to be cute?
And are you pretending to be- I'm trying to be cute so that he will take me to a restaurant or that I'm tired tonight.
And then want to go home.
And you do this and you don't make him close his eyes.
No.
You'll just say it to him.
No, he thinks it's great.
Great.
And do you keep it mostly to one word
or would you speak a sentence?
I do sentences.
Okay, give me a sentence.
I really like meeting all the daddy gang.
Kathy Hilton, you really are fucking iconic.
I'm scared.
I'm hungry.
I love it so much.
Kathy, I'm obsessed with you.
Thank you for doing this.
Well, I want you to come over to my house.
Okay.
When should we do it?
We'll figure it out.
We'll do a barbecue.
We'll get Paris.
We'll go-
Well, because we just saw Paris and Carter
and my husband went to school with Carter at Columbia
and they know each other and Paris and I are friends.
So we said, we all have to do something together
but maybe you should host us.
Yes.
We're gonna do something. We're gonna do something.
We're gonna do something big.
Kathy, this is just the beginning.
People don't even know what's coming.
They don't?
No, they're gonna watch for it now.
So now we've got to follow up on this.
Now we've got to follow up.
Okay, when is your birthday?
Don't wait, don't tell.
Hold on.
You're not gonna get it.
All right, hold on.
Okay.
I'm gonna say, but don't give me looks or anything. If I'm wrong, then say, you All right, hold on. Okay. I'm going to say, but don't give me looks or anything.
If I'm wrong, then say, you're wrong, move ahead.
You could be an Aquarius, but you're not.
You could be a Pisces, but you're not.
No, I'm not.
You could be an Aries, but you're not.
Hold on.
Strong.
You could be a Taurus.
You're not.
Leo?
Yes.
You know, it's gonna say Leo before that. But you're strong,
you're generous, but you're not lazy.
I'm not lazy. Well, I guess the, because Leos can be lazy.
I am not, can they?
Oh, I'm not lazy.
Look at the way a lion walks.
Oh, slow.
But they're like this and they sit and they watch
and they wait and then they get you.
Do I remind you of a lion at all?
No.
You remind me of one of the Hilton sisters.
God, I would love to be one of those.
Yeah.
You're very generous with a big heart.
You're so sweet.
We, and you're a what?
Pisces.
Pisces.
The fancy fish and the other fish is very shy and hides.
What?
Yeah, there's two fish.
Is that a Pisces?
Swimming in opposite directions.
Kathy, we have so much to talk about
in the members club, it's really crazy.
We'll get into a night at the members club.
We will get into a night.
Oh my God, and you can bring these.
Oh my God, we'll do a podcast from the members.
Yes.
Don't laugh.
Oh my God, no, no, you wouldn't want a podcast to go live
from the members club.
What happens in the members club stays in the members club?
No?
If we could share things with people
and raise a little money.
Then it's all for a good cause.
It's for a good cause and a good chuckle.
Boom.
Okay, episode finished.
Daddy Gang, I hope you enjoyed it.
Daddy Gang, I wanna meet you.
I don't know the Daddy Gang.
Yeah, but you're gonna meet them one day.
Kathy Hilton, you are the best.
Thank you for a fabulous time.
I had a lot of fun.
Aw, I had a lot of fun.
Okay, good.
It was really cool.
Woo!
