The following podcast is a dear media production. She's a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire. Fantastic. And he's a serial entrepreneur. A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to the skinny confidential, him and her.

She said you're going to get a job. I'm like, Mom, I'm 12. She's like, no, you got to get a job. First job was they would ride their bikes to ride aid by a big bag of combs, gum, lifesavers. Then they'd make lemonade, iced tea, and cookies, and they'd bag everything. And it was Nikki, Paris, and Chloe Cardhousian. They were there for the summer. Our lemonade's den in the Hamptons, yes, that's true.

I wish that I'd kept the poster. But I think that that is so important. For whoever likes a detailed conversation, this one, has you covered. Kathy Hilton and Nikki Hilton Rothschild are on the show today. We are going to talk about Hilton Beauty Hacks. We're going to talk about fac-max, N-A-D, how to curate a home, how to spice things up, motherhood, publicity in the 90s, opinions on celebrity life, and even prank calling.

I have to tell you, out of all the episodes that I've done, this one was really fun. You know how you can tell Lauren's excited is when she changes her intro voice, and this is her changing her intro voice. What do I do? I don't know. You sound like a presenter from the 1950s. No, I just like tap dancing. This one is such a good one, you guys. I just love the whole, the whole curation, the whole cozy home life. Kathy is so multifaceted. So is Nikki. They're entrepreneurs. And I just think there's so much more to what you see. I think there's so much depth to them. And I wanted to get to that depth. And I think we really did. This felt like you were out to dinner with me and Michael and Kathy and Nikki. It felt very effortless and fun. And I would go to dinner with these three women anytime.

So, Kathy, Nikki invite me to dinner. Call him. Or I'll invite you guys. With that guys, Kathy Hilton, Nikki Hilton Rothschild. Welcome to the skinny confidential, him and her show. This is the skinny confidential, him and her. Kathy and Nikki Hilton are on the show. I have followed you both forever. So this is very full circle. Wait, I have something for you. Look at this. Can you believe this? Is that a pure nightclub?

Can you believe this? This is vintage. Shut up. That really isn't pure. I think I'm 21. Oh, my goodness. In the bathroom. Look at that vintage.

That's me. Oh, you're blonde. Are you a natural blonde? No. To me, you look like a brunette for sure. I'm not naturally blonde. But the picture, just to give the audience context, is me and my friend Stephanie, Nikki and Paris, we harassed you guys to take a photo of us.

That is so cute. What year is this? I was 21. I don't know, Michael. Don't do the math. So we're in the Jeremy to office here in L.A., but we have the other one in Texas, and the girls keep this on the desk. Yeah, they love it.

We brought it all right. But first, before we get into it, I have to know what the brand of the pillow is that you travel with and why you travel with that pillow. Lena. Okay. It's my favorite, favorite, favorite. I just, I'm a pillow nut.

Okay. I need a pillow line. I sleep with about six pillows. But I sleep on baby pillows. Linya's my favorite, but then I sometimes put the little covers of the porto over it. But then I take it off, and I've got my silky, it's just luscious. Why baby pillows? I don't know.

The dogs have them, too. The dogs have them, too. I have a crib at the end of our bed, and they have this beautiful white little crib with the little pillows and the little, what is it? The bumper? The bumper. Yes, they're my children. So I saw you with the pillow. So I thought they were, how do you say it, Port Halt? Porto. Porto. But now I'm really into the lenia. I cannot. Chris Jenner, I spent the night, we had a, what do you call it, a slumber party.

And so I went up into the room and I have never slept in a bed like this in my life. The sheets. The sheets. The comforter. I did not want to get out of bed in the morning. What are the sheets? Do you know the brand? Lina. They're all the same. It's all the same. No, it's separate.

Okay. I get it at Pioneer Lennon. Have you heard of it in Palm Beach? No. Oh, Pioneer Lennon has everything that you can think of. Okay. And I am a tabletop person, but I feel like I spend a lot of time in the bed, too. I'm women for the sheets, not for the streets.

You like to rock the rock. You know that one? Have you heard that? No. I've heard it, yeah, of course. It's very funny. Yeah, it's very funny. Right?

It's funny. I said, I'm one for the sheets, not for the streets. It's funny or hearing you say it than others. Really? Well, I'm funny. One of the questions that my girlfriend had is she wants to understand how you guys got so good at the edit and the curation. Like, did your mother and your grandmother instill this in you guys? How did you guys get so good at just making things look so beautiful?

Mother and my grandmother lived with us. Well, my mother obviously did, but my grandmother lived with us. So it was always about beautiful tea cups and china and porcelain and crystal and silver. And my mother bought us for our wedding gift a silver punch bowl. I'm like, Mom, what am I going to do with this punch bowl? Do you use it now? I use it and I put crushed ice for champagne. Of course I do.

I can remember every wedding gift. And I was actually excited. I really liked it because, I mean, some people grew up with that and they go the other way. And I was always afraid all the effort I made in the home, whether it be a holiday or whatever to make it warm and cozy and celebrations, I believe, in celebrating life and making everything as wonderful as you can. And the kids, I thought, maybe took it for granted. And then when I'd get a little lazy and say, oh, well, we're going out of town. and we're not going to be here the whole month. Oh, you didn't do this?

So they really do like it. Yeah, when I think of the moments with my mother, it's like whenever the holidays, she put so much effort into it. And those are the things I remember now as an adult. Well, it's fun to see my daughters both doing that now, especially this one. It's inspiring.

It's like she romanticizes everything. But you have been like this since you were a little girl. And I didn't believe her. And I asked Kyle, and she said they would be at home. home, she would make her lunch in the kitchen, 10, 11, 12 years old. She would set the table with all the linens, the silverware, the proper glasses, and close the door.

Sit down for her meal and peace. And you've been doing this since you're a child. And then they came in and once it was a, I know. I need some privacy right now. And I would enjoy. And I started entertaining. A 10. 10 years old and tea parties and I mean I just loved it.

It's like Martha Stewart but on steroids. It's a different, it's a different, like there's a luxurious, like a feminine thing about it. But it's also, I do, I have, I'm just as happy on the seventh floor at Bergdorf Goodman as when we're out in Southampton there is, there was a Kmart or a Target. You can go and find. I'll be in there and like I've got my basket or home goods and I'm running around. And of course, I've got like four baskets. And then I say at the end, wait a minute, do I need this? Do I need this?

And I end up, you know, putting a few things back. I think that's what's so fascinating is just a position of it. It's like I've heard like you'll say you go to cheesecake factory. And I'm like, that's so cool. It's just like it's unexpected. Do you know what I mean? Like you're eating a baked potato with caviar and then you're. you're like, I love Cheesecake Factory.

And I'm like, fuck, I'm craving cheese. Well, my husband really likes it and I like it, but he loves the buffalo wings. And he loves the cheesecake. So we do that because you can go in there and just be casual. And you're not going to see anybody you know. And it's really charming. It's old Beverly Hills, the one we go to on Beverly Drive. And it's easy in and out.

And it's open light. Tell them how I tried to recreate Cheesecake Factory in Austin because I heard her say that. Yeah, it was maybe not. The one in Austin was maybe not the one in old Beverly Hills. He wouldn't go in. It was a little different. Oh, this is like Tiffany lamps and the whole vibe in there and the lighting. And they've got the TV on.

It's really, I'm very cozy. When you look back on your childhood, what are the core memories that you have? My core memories were leaving in Santa Claus till I was 13. Okay. Being the oldest of three of us girls. and, you know, growing up in a fantasy world. How so? Playing dolls, playing store.

You still play with dolls. I still play with dolls. I'm a collector. You didn't tell the story about what I used to do. My mother used to say, I'm a merchandiser. You look like you're setting your room up like it's a store. And I ended up having a store for nine and a half years on Sunset Boulevard. So you've always liked curating.

love, love, love. And then I'm a crafter as well. Nikki now is getting into it. And we make things that are really beautiful, beautiful wreaths for Mother's Day with vintage ribbon and vintage flowers. And I'm constantly on eBay and at these auctions or when I go to London or Paris, you'll find me looking at the vintage ribbon and flowers and little ornaments. And I just, I love it. To me, it gives me such happiness. Nikki, what are the things that you feel like that you're doing now that you're a mom that your mom did for you? The holidays were such and still are a huge thing in our family. And I'm talking every holiday from Valentine's Day to St. Patrick's Day, Easter. So, I mean, I don't have your collection.

She's got like a poolhouse full. But the holidays, that is what I remember most about my childhood. And I try and recreate it, but she was just so damn good. And you have so much stuff, like decades of stuff. I have a collection. I have ornaments, trees, bunnies, Easter eggs, like. Everything you could think of. How do you keep track of all of it?

Well, that's the problem. I have 2,000 square feet under my pool of storage. It is taken over the entire garage, four-car garage, just a little space for my husband's car. And then I have separate rooms like storage rooms. And I have a silver room that's all lined in the felt to keep it nice and clean. And then I have a crystal in China room. I took two offices downstairs and Christmas there. And then I have in our big ballroom where I have the parties, it looks like a showroom like at the Javitt Center.

There are trees. There are elves. There are cinderella's. There are everything you can think of. You still have Christmas trees up right now down there, right? They're all down there right now because that way I don't have to fluff them all. I mean, I'll be getting ready again end of September. Is it all organized in systems or is it more chaotic?

Pretty much. Right now I'm getting ready to get rid of a lot. lot of things. You are? Yes. Well, I have some. Well, yes. No, I donate a lot of things and I'm going to be doing something. You know, we always do something during the holidays for, you know, Animal Haven and Children's Hospital and the Mission. So we are going to be doing a little sale. I got very inspired. Martha Stewart did a tag sale. I just was reading that Jenna Lyons is having one. She? Yes. That'll be some cute stuff.

It's really fun. Jenna's got an eye. She's got a lot of things. She does have an eye. People love going through things like you can't believe. Which one of your children is getting all the stuff? Do you guys figure that out yet? I think she'll enjoy it the most.

Paris likes her taste is a little different than ours. Yeah. Stay close. Show that enthusiasm, make you just. Right. How do you guys work together? What does that look like? Are you guys on the phone every single day?

Yes. My husband is like, how many. times a day do you need to talk to your mother? Like, what, like, I talk to my mother once a month. Like, why do you need to speak to your mother on the phone for 20 times a day? I mean, I would say 100 reasons. We talk a million times a day. We have a shared Pinterest board, so we're like constantly sharing different pottery, art, China, fabric, ceramic, tabletop, holiday. Vacation ideas, everything. It's like our, it's our manifestation mood board thing.

And then we're texting, we're DMing, face-timing with the kids. We're in constant contact. If someone is listening at home and they want to do like the Hilton curation of their own home, what are some things that you would tell them to start with? Like, do they need to inspect their salt and pepper? Like, what are little things that they could just make their home a little, give it a little judge, like you said? I always believe that having some throws, just like during spring, summer, fall, I like to mix it up and change it a little bit. And I have a pillow closet.

I'm obsessed with pillows. So I'll have the velvet or the plaid. My library is beautiful. Medium wood, kind of like this here, cream. Mom, this would have been the perfect opportunity to play. plug our rug line, not talk about pillows. I know you guys did a pillow line. Our whole house is going to get filled up with pillows now.

I just know it. You need a pillow line. That's your next. I know. I know. Okay, so the rugs, the rugs I need because I have a lot of entertaining and grandchildren and dogs. So constantly, I have been spending a fortune redoing rugs, especially upstairs and in the library. because where I hold the meetings in the library

and the after party is a member's only club and it's kind of famous the library. What? Tell me about that. The most interesting people, the most interesting conversations, that rug I will never give up. And I've had that rug in there for 18 years. It's rolled up.

And if that rug could talk, whoa. I mean, it's really amazing. Wait, hold on. What does a member's only club look like? I joke because everybody at our parties. The people that we really, you know, you let your hair down at the end of the night. These are the people that stay. The people that stay and we'll have eggs in there, champagne, cake, somebody's eating leftover turkey.

Everybody, like, all of us put our robes on and slippers. We'll make prank phone calls. We are there. We're discussing everything you can think of, laughing, crying until five or six in the morning. And in the beginning, there are people lining up. So I had to go and buy these cheap little cubicle red leather, what do you call them? To sit on stools. People are lined up around.

Then the second tier is other chairs that we bring in dining chairs. Just to get into this library. Yes. I was thinking about this with you two before you came on. And you've met so many people over the years and have seen so many interesting people. Who are the kind of people Or what are the kind of traits you're looking for That peak your interest at this point

Because I feel like both of you have seen So much and so many different kinds of people I am always interested in people I like fun people People because it takes a lot for you to laugh When this one giggles and laughs She was very as a child She'd be on the merry ground

But like this And didn't want to show That she was having a good time She was very like Like a poodle Like a poodle A standard Poodles do?

They're just very like Alloo You know what? I just noticed that With my poodle I said this poodle's moody I got two new dogs And there's times

I'll walk in and I'll go Boo Boo and she'll go like this Tell them your dog's names Boo Boo Boo and Tiff Well they're They're adopted And they were a year old When I got them

So they already had those names Tiffany and Boo Boo. Wow. I mean, I would not have picked those names. They're in our rugable campaign. They're so adorable. But the old classic poodle, they're not McDoodled or da-doodled or doodles. There's all these different poodles.

Golden doodle. Right. These are like when I was a little girl. And what was Nikki like as a little girl? She was like a poodle. She was like the standard. We called her mother was her nickname. Why?

In the carriage. Why mother? She was strict. She was strict. Like you were strict with yourself or strict with us? She was just very, her energy was extremely, what would you say? Stern? Stern?

To get her to smile or laugh, I'd have to. Make her like tickler. Yes, she was just very reserved. And what about the other three? So different than Nikki. Right. Would she go to the park and it would be like the sand? Didn't like, Michael doesn't like sand either.

You sound like Michael. sand. Michael doesn't like sand. No, I don't get. Explain your theory. Be really honest. I like quality sand in nice places, but I don't like sand just for the sake of sand. Oh, he likes white sand in certain areas of the country.

Yeah, I don't like dirty sand. He's like, I don't like sand. He likes the Bahamas, the pink beach. Yeah, he wants specific sand. Well, I don't want sand unless there's like a good reason to have the sand. Let's not worry about me. I have a lot of issues I got to work through. So when you, when you meet someone, who are the people that are getting in the

members-only club? What are the traits that are coming in? There could be somebody new and interesting. In fact, I thought it was strange the last Christmas party we had because there was this man sitting and they're very good looking. And I didn't invite him. My husband didn't invite him. And none of them knew who he was.

So I asked my security. I said, because it's now like two in the morning. And he's sitting up against the wall. Was I there? You were there. Dylan, Bejou, Elliot, a group of us. There was like maybe 10 of us. And I'm thinking, why is he here?

And he goes, no, he's cool. He's, you know, at all the charity. I think Andy was there too. No, I know of him, whatever. And I'm thinking, is there a girl in here that he's maybe interested and he's very good looking? So we'll have the characters, somebody that brings somebody, and then we end up falling in love with them. So we invite them into the library.

One of your fun ones recently-ish was when you hosted that DirecTV Christmas party. So we ended up late night with, and I don't watch these shows, but my friends who were with me were like super excited. The Vanderpump Rules people. I watch it. I didn't even know they were there. I know the names because they're unusual names. But I don't know what they do or wild stories. Meaning people, the characters, like the cast was there.

Some of them, yeah. Some of them. Yeah. I bet that you're right if those walls could talk. That's nothing. I mean, I don't even know those people, but they were. They were, they were characters. They had this nice girl.

That'll be a clip. Fly in from New York, who I love and adore. She's from New York. I don't know if I should mention because you have a podcast. She has a podcast. Yes. Everyone has a podcast. Okay. Yeah, a lot of people have podcasts. Oh, okay. But you can let it rip. This show is let it rip. This show is all over the place. You can let it rip. It's all been said on here. Yeah. I text Mark Moulet, who is a mutual friend of ours. And I said, Kathy is coming on the show. Her daughter, Nikki, is coming on the show. What should we ask them? And he said about how smart both of you are. He said, with you, you're very smart in real estate. And I think that I would love to hear how. how you guys think about real estate and business. I don't think people have talked to you guys about that enough.

I don't think people have given you both enough credit for what it has taken to build the entities that you have. No, and we had Carter on the show and Courtney, and we were talking about you and your family and the things that you guys have built. And I don't think people realize how much you all pioneered for future generations and how savvy you've all been in your career. years. And I don't think people talk to you about it enough and give you all of you as much credit as they should. Right. Well, I just think that we have done a lot and there's a lot of businesses and a lot of things that we've done that I don't even feel that I was very involved with herbal life and help putting them back on the map when they were not doing well. And it's something I don't discuss, but I'm very proud of that.

just doing my store and then going on QBC and HSN, because you cannot have a store and not be there. And we moved to the East Coast. My husband said, when I had driven by the store that it was for sale, I called him, I said, Rick, you've got to get here. It's like 5 o'clock. It was getting dark. It was like October.

You've got to get here. And he said, all right, I'll do it. He said, I'm thinking to myself, she's going to be tired of this. a year, but it'll keep her out of Neiman's and sacks and so whatever. I loved it. It was nine and a half years. It was some of the happiest time to my life. And we traveled all over the world, all over the country, to Europe, to shows. So I had a mixture of everything. One for me, one for the store, one for me, one for the store. And it really was a jewel box. It was about 2,500 square feet and it had an upstairs and a downstairs and it had the staircase from the movie the

staircase which is a famous old movie and it already had an incredible clientele I stocked that that store and had everything up in two or three weeks and I had more Christopher Radcoe I was so afraid of the money I was spending on Radco and you guys know what Radcoe no what Christopher Radcoe like. I need the details. I'm trying to curate my own home. They're very expensive ornaments back then. We're talking $30 an ornament wholesale. Your mom likes those. I know what they are. They're those that they're kind of like not glass, but they're like an ornament. They are glass. Well, they're colored, you know, pulling, they're very fancy. They're beautiful. My mom's a big ornament person.

And I could not believe that we were selling them, selling, I'm selling, I'm selling. Then people come, I need Mr. Moon. I need more. Anyway, I had that store up and running. I loved it. And I would be there until nine. o'clock at night during the holidays, missing parties, and it was all home. So the girls would come. And I had a manager and I had people working there, but everybody has to have a break. So I didn't have to do the cash register. I knew how to do everything else. Harris and Nikki knew how to do American Express Visa MasterCard. You would leave us there.

I ran over to Chinchin. Chinese chicken salad. And they would need to be. doing the register. Chinese chickens have it. Right across the street to get my lunch. It's still there? I haven't had that. It is?

Oh, you gotta have it. So when you were a little girl. There was a gift wrapper in the back room. It's not like I left you completely. But they were running the store. And they're this big. You're a little girl surrounded by a lot of business at a young age. Do you feel like that that's helped you?

You had a, I remember your purse line. I bought your purse when I was like, I remember, I've seen you do all these businesses. Because do you think that's... 15. 15. Yeah. I think that... Do you think your child had shaped how you are as a businesswoman today?

I think so. I mean... Yeah. I mean, we started working super young. I got my first job when I was like 13 or 12 years old at Hampton's Magazine. Remember me and Amanda Hurst? She said, you're going to get a job. I'm like, Mom, I'm 12.

She's like, no, you got to get a job. On the weekends or a few days a week. Yeah, a few days a week. I was an intern and I took everyone's lunch orders. I took the trash out. I would send all the advertisers like if they were in the party pictures, you know, put a little... Drop magazines off in front of the stores that have them on the ground, you know, outside. But I think that that is so important to have your kids working at a young age.

You forgot your first job. What? The first job was they would. ride their bikes to ride aid by a big bag of combs, you know, plastic combs, like 39 cents each comb. Gum, lifesavers. Then they'd make lemonade, iced tea, and cookies, and they'd bag everything. And it was Nikki, Harris, Francesca, and Chloe Kardashian. And they were there for the summer.

Our lemonade stand in the Hamptons, yes, that's true. I wish that I'd kept the poster. and they would run and it was colorful and beautiful and they'd have popsicles and, you know, they drew all these things, all in these bright colors and rainbows. They would run out on the street. We would really water down the lemonade, I remember.

Right, to make it last. And we were on Main Street, so everybody was on Main Street. And people drive pretty slow. And who could resist these four adorable girls? So they'd pull over and, um, buy all of our crap. You kept everything but the poster. Well, they sold everything, but that was the beginning and fun.

And then I said, they're going to get bored. They went to camp. And then they didn't really like the camp. So I said, then fine. You know, you're going to get a job. So if someone has two children, aka us, do you... Hold are your children. They're two and four.

They should start working soon. Oh, I think so, too. I already have Zaza scrubbing the table with the magic eraser. She colors on it. She shows her. Absolutely. 100%. Do you recommend two more, to round it out?

Because you have four. Part of me wishes I did have more. Because I started so young. Oh, my God. I had Paris at 20. I got married at 19. My husband at 15. Got married four years later.

Had Paris at 20. Nikki at hair before I was 23. And then the two boys were like a second family. But truthfully, honestly, you have two? Yeah. In today's world, I think that's enough. Oh my gosh. You're like the first person that's ever said that.

I know I thought you were going to say no, have four. Why in today's world? I'm curious about that. I'm afraid. You're afraid of what's going on in the world. I think that kids are exposed to so much. And, you know, no one's feeling 100% safe. I hate to be a downer, but.

Yeah, no, I was thinking, Lauren and I didn't get smartphones until we got out of college. So we had that whole experience without... You didn't have smartphones until out of college? Meaning like we didn't have... Yeah, it was just like the... It was like a Nokia. It was like a Nokia or like a blackberry. Pagers, right? Yes. And we didn't get Instagram until we were well graduated. But that came out later. So we went through our whole childhood just as kids, right? Right. And I think about that now because we have

siblings that are a decade younger than each of us, both of us do. Right. And it's been interesting to watch them. Nothing that's really wrong, but they just, they They have to navigate it differently than we all did, include you at that. Have you seen the book, Anxious Generation? I want to get the author on the show. Yes. Guys, we talk about so many different things to enhance your health, your well-being, your hormone regulations. But really, there is one thing that all of us could be doing better to drive the most impact

for our mental health, our physical health, our general well-being. And that is sleeping better, which is why I'm so excited to talk about eight sleep. At this point, I'm sure you've heard about eight sleep. their buzzworthy sleeping technology called the pod can be added to your existing mattress like a fitted sheet to automatically cool down or warm up each side of your bed and in turn improve your sleep quality dramatically. We've had so many experts on this show and one of the biggest takeaways that we've learned is getting your sleep under control. Since Lauren and I have moved to Austin, Texas, this has become a priority and getting the sleep dialed in has been the biggest mover when it comes

to our health and well-being. Sleeping in a cold room is great, but sleeping on a mattress. that stays cold and has a temperature regulator all night is even better, which is why the 8th sleep is such an incredible product. Pod 4 Ultra also includes an adjustable base that fits between your mattress and your bed frame to add reading and sleeping positions for the best unwinding experience.

I have my red light, my Kindle, my weighted neck pillow. It's really habit stacked. I got the chimes going and I have magnesium. I do not go to bed without taking magnesium. So many of us are deficient in magnesium. So many people have come on this podcast and said it's like the number one thing people are deficient in. The one that I take is by J.S. Health Vitamins. And I like this one particularly because it contains different forms of bioavailable magnesium.

So they really designed this magnesium to support muscle relaxation and recovery and nervous system function. And I don't know if I'm crazy. I don't know if it's because it's one of the highest quality magnesiums on the market, but I can really see the effects. I like JS Health vitamins too because it's designed in Australia. It was formulated by an expert nutritionist. She really knows her stuff when it comes to vitamins and minerals and everything is very science-backed, which I appreciate. She also sources the highest quality ingredients. And I think that's really important when you're taking a supplement.

a vanilla coating on it. So there's no fishy aftertaste. But you got to grab the magnesium, especially if you're not already taking it at night.

How do you think about both of you, I guess, motherhood in the public eye? Like, how do you know when to shield your kids, know when to, like, bring them? How do you think about it? There has to be some kind of strategy around it. I kind of just keep them away from all of it. Yeah. It's been working so far. It's kind of funny what Teddy said because Nikki is very low-key and doesn't, you know, she's,

she knows where to go, when to go, when not to go somewhere with the children. But when we're in, when they're here in L.A., she said something about Paris, which I thought was funny to Nikki. And Nikki doesn't talk about it. She goes, isn't Auntie Paris really famous? I don't know who's told her that. Like, how would she know that? Oh, like what you're saying is she. And she's really rich.

I was like, Nikki goes, what? She goes, well, she's got a lot of stuff. Cars. Maybe she just sees like when you're FaceTimey. Yeah. No, she visits when they're here. Yeah, she probably just sees like all the stuff. So what do you do?

I mean, you raise children sort of in the limelight, I guess not until they were older. Right. What's the tip? What's the takeaway? What's the hack to raise children? Because you've raised children that have their head on straight. And that doesn't always happen. I think just being, having good values and trying to instill that in the children.

And, you know, my husband and I, he has a very famous last name. And it can open doors, but can also close doors. Yeah. Right in your face. And people can be judgmental. So we are, we are self-made. And I'm really proud of that. I had a job when we first got married.

and I was making $160 a week. And then I had Paris. So I took off for a little bit. But I would take the bus. I furnished our first apartment for $750. I'll use furniture with art pieces all the way up almost by the molding. I mean, it was hysterical. A fish tank, a few like silk flowers.

It was very, very funny. No, but I think it's very important to have. have that relationship with your family and have a good head on your shoulders. Because I grew up in LA with lots of the wild childs. And what they all had in common was sort of like dysfunctional family at home. The parents would drop them off at the mall. And they would, my kids would come home and they'd have on like a new t-shirt or that. What is that? Oh, well, the parents gave us each $50. I'm like, So I finally, Rick had business to do in New York and he was working and we wanted to be closer to London and Paris because he was doing deals there. So we're like, you know what, we're out of here.

We moved to Texas recently. Obviously, we come here. But it was part of that where I feel like you could be, and I don't want to shit on L.A. at all. But there's so much here that we wanted to kind of get him out of it a little bit. Right? And I don't, and again, I don't want to shit on L.A. No, I love L.A. I just think I didn't want to be in a pool of parents where the nether.

nannies and the people are dropping the kids off. Like, you know, we take our kids to school. We pick up out. I think it's important. And even just hearing you talk about how long you've been with your husband, those are really impressive numbers. Yeah, that is impressive. You don't hear that in Illinois.

It's not so common anymore. I mean, that's a long time. And I think, 43 years. That's amazing. But I think with our family, having both the boys and the girls get that East Coast background was really. What age were they? The girls, we moved out.

there when they were 12 and Paris is about 14 but they were Paris was a young 14 more like 11 or 12 you know she was wearing guess when she came out there and then all the sudden you know grow up fast in New York what are some of you guys is like beauty and wellness secrets is there anything you do on a daily basis that we need to know about that we need to go by I'm using the masks okay I have a couple of friends that are Chinese they said that in the their culture, it's every day. Yeah. Every day.

Yeah. So I keep them in my refrigerator. And I have a mini refrigerator in my room. And I, you know, I really try to take good care of my skin. And we do those massages. Lymphatic massage. I had one this morning right when I landed. That's great tip after the airplane.

It's like so good for drainage. It came in all the way this morning. What time did you get in? Early. I was actually getting an NAD drip. I take shots of NAD every day. NAD? Does it hurt your stomach?

In my stomach, yes. But does it hurt your stomach when you do it? No, she does the shots. Oh, you do the shots. It does. It does, because the needle's a little long. You don't do the IV? I did the IV this morning.

And then I take the true niacin two tablets. You're doing all this stuff. And she said to me today, I have to be honest, I do have one little extension here to be a little dressy for you and one here but without her so shoes like your hair is getting thicker and better and I have a lot of energy but you feel sharper too with the NAD? I feel like in the mind

I did it for a while it started bothering my stomach though it was it did but I did a lot of it there's something about it that gives me like the hebie-jeebies I can't do it I don't know what shot no I just don't I don't want something that hurts my stomach like that then maybe you need to eat something or get used to it because it is so healthy Really? Yes. Like a piece of toast?

I can suck it up for beauty. You need to. I mean, if I knew what I'm, all I do is read up on all of this stuff. And you think it's great. It sounds like you're somebody that's just like to the people in your life. Kind of like toughened up and grit through it. You get to a certain point and you say, you know what? I want to do everything I can to be as healthy and have energy to enjoy my family, my children and my business.

and my friends and be able to travel and we got to get on the ball. Keep on the bowl and focus. Yeah, I love it. Because I never stop. I can tell. I love it. Do I ever stop? Sometimes. You like your bed, though, you said.

Yeah, she loves her bed. But I work sometimes in the bed. Okay. Because I get hot. What time do you wake up? I wake up early. I'll be on the phone with Stacy texting back and forth. I know, but what time do you wake up?

637. Okay. stay up and I'll have a coffee and I can go back to bed at about nine o'clock as I figure well I don't have anything to do today until 10 30 or 11 I love it though so I will then go back into bed I got my niacin my no my true no I got the NAD today the nurse came in at 9 a.m. She was done in I guess 45 minutes I felt like I'd slept 15 minutes it was 1120 Why? Because you just sleep during it? You felt like you needed... Oh, Paris used to do it for four hours.

The old shots. I mean, she is dedicated to... NAD? Yes. For four hours? For four hours. Because the drip hurts your stomach if you go fast and... You have to do it slow is what I've heard. The fastest I've ever done it. He's doing it like a half an hour. Yeah, I just...

But it's hard. Just do a shot. I know. That's what I was thinking about doing. But you know, I... Or take the true niacin. I will send you some. Okay. All right, Kathy, I trust you. remind me. Yeah. I'm not kidding. I love it because the way it made me feel, but when I was,

I just want to get it done. I'm kind of like you. I'm like, let's just get this. I can't, I don't have four hours to sit around with the IV. God, it's never ending. I'm telling you. The older you get between the hair color, the teeth, the dentist, the cleaning, the booby check, the personal check down here. I mean, the leg waxing. I don't have the leg waxing issue. No, he has no idea. It's like a mathematical equation. For me to look semi-decent, I go through the car wash. The eyebrows. I look like Schmeagle from the rings. I come here. I go through the whole car wash. It's like brows, hair, color, nails. Like, it's so much shit. He rolls out of bed, slicks his hair back. He's ready to go. And he looks great. It's so annoying. I actually find it like really annoying.

You know, I do. Maybe it's the NAD one. Maybe I just, that's what it is. No, he does do stuff. He does, he has this 10-step skincare routine. He's a little bit different. because he's a fourth Japanese, so he's very, like, meticulous with his shit. You can't tell? Wow. Yeah, my mom's half. My grandma's full. Wow.

Yeah, so you're a little bit, like, into the stuff. Well, I get to speak to so many educated people on this show that talk about all of these things. And when I learned, like, about skin health, I'm like, well, why would you not take care? You know, you got to carry it with you forever. Right, right. I'm doing a wellness day at my house. I hope that you'll, we'll do it. around when you can be there. I mean, there was a period. I looked like an old weathered saddle.

And I was like, I got to get it together. We got to get it together. I got to be around for my kids. What's the wellness day? Like, what does one do? I've done it before. And we bring in and friends can bring in the best of the best of the best. And we have people come in and talk and do little demonstrations and healthy food and, you know. Like a beauty boot camp? Kind of a beauty boot camp. Sarah Howard and I were talking about it. So I'll get her involved and several of my friends. And I did it one. I did it one. in Aspen with a group of 30 ladies, and we were at the Little Nell in that private dining room, and everybody came prepared to share four or five things. Cute.

And there was a secretary to take notes, and everybody got a copy, and it was very useful and very helpful and interesting. Have you ever heard of Brian Johnson? Have you seen Brian? No. He's the guy. He built and sold Venmo, and now he's trying to solve the aging. crisis for humans. He's trying to defy aging. He's been on this show. He's the one that measures his

erections when he's sleeping. Because I guess erections are a sign of youth. A lot of times that happens in the middle of the night. That's good though. That means that the, the, yeah, I get woken up by my husband. I told Lauren, I wake up and tell him whenever I'm having, I said, listen, I'm aging in reverse. Now he's waking up and like, I'm like, I can, he has to tell me about his dreams. I can't, I can't go down that road. Well, the reason I mentioned it to, we just did a dinner with him where it was like a Jeffersonian-style dinner. I want to meet him. Oh, you would love him. You were going to find him fascinating. So his whole thing is he's trying to literally use all his own personal funding to stop aging for humans. He's like he wants to,

that's what he's, how old is he? He's 40 something right. But after this, I'm going to show you a link, Brian, hello. And there's all these articles of what he's doing. He's doing all these blood transfusions and NADs and all this. He took his son's blood and like put it in his body. He took his own blood, put in his father's body. It's like, it's how old is his son? son's 20. Yeah. Wow.

You will find him fascinating. We did this whole dinner was Jeffersonian style. You could only, you had to share an idea and he started the question

like if there was an algorithm that existed that could help you live forever, would you take it or not? We had to follow it. And it went, this whole group of interesting people around the table.

We'll introduce you. I would love that. Dr. Diamond was there. You would like it. And Dr. Diamond was there. Yeah. And he,

I mean, I said no. Michael said yes. He would take the algorithm. If someone gave you an algorithm to how not to age, would you take it? So you have to go to bed at a certain time. You have to eat at a certain time. I can do it.

Too many rules. That would be hard. Yeah, you sometimes want a caviar baked potato at 8 p.m. on a Saturday. But he said something interesting. He said most people say no. But then if you think about it, if you would have said five years ago, hey, there's a shot you can take and it'll suppress your appetite and lower your weight. Like, would you do it?

Most people say no. Now there's the ozempic. And they're saying, what if an ozempic type thing exists for dementia or, or for depression or for heart health, would you take it? That's essentially like an algorithm. So medical technology is moving further and further in that direction. Incredible. Nikki and I do a lot of charity work and working.

I've worked with Alzheimer's for 35 years. My friend's mother had it. And so I've been involved with that. And I hear the updates. It's just incredible how close we're coming. And breast cancer, It's not a death sentence anymore. Yeah.

How do you both look at charity? Like, is there, is there, I mean, I know you guys are such big philanthropist, and I feel like you, it's like you just love to do it. How do you look at it? Do you look at it? Like, is it in your day to day every day? What is there a tip to finding the right charity? It can be overwhelming.

Well, I started with the girls because I just think it's good to instill that. And it selfishly, it gives you great joy. Yeah. And so we started out at the Ronald McDonald's house, which was in New York, which, which, was actually very sad. And I would bring them there at Christmas time. And I thought to myself, maybe that's a little heavy for them. I mean, these kids are very sick.

So then we would do things at our house and at my father-in-law's house because he had a big park ground. And we would do, we made T-shirts, which is a lot of fun. Make a Wish Foundation. Make a Wish Foundation. And we sold them. Well, we didn't. Dave them.

And they sold them all over the place. and it was so cute. And then they'd come and they'd come with their family. No press was there. We'd have somebody taking a Polaroid picture if they wanted it with the girls. We'd play Duck, Duck, Duck Goose, which is a game I love. Bring Red Rover, Red Rover.

All of these things, we'd have coloring stations and just spend time with them. And we left and we felt so good about it and just see the happiness on their face. So I think showing them at a young age. Yeah, I remember just growing up, you guys taking us down to the Union Rescue mission and serving Thanksgiving lunch or Christmas dinner. No, the best was we would go by ourselves.

We don't go down there on the day where everybody's down there with KTLA filming them and, oh, look at them, making the turkey. Please, no, no. We would go. there you can ask him. He said, you guys are the only people I know that come here quietly, on your own. And what we would do is bring gifts, but we would set up for the children to go shopping for their parents. Okay. So one room would be for the children to go in and pick things. So I collect slippers from every hotel that I'm at. I mean, I must spend a lot of extra money

at the end of summer being away three. Yes, exactly. Exactly. And so it was so funny watching the girls, Flaeridge's Hotel, The Ritz in Paris. I mean, all of these slippers, and you'd see the kids giving it to their parents and they're trying it on. And with their serious faces, we weren't think at the Beverly Hills Hotel. We lived at the Beller Hotel for two and a half years. So I had so much of the soap with the swans on it. And these are things they need. Why, you were renovating or something? Or you just wanted to be.

We were renovating. And yes, these are really the things that they need. Someone told me like the best thing to do is instead of helping people to help people, help people. And what is that saying? Teach a person to. A fish, no fish for a day. Right. Give them a fish, you'll fish for a day.

Teach them to fish. It's true. That's what you did. It seems like that's what you did for the kids. What is like when you say that like Hollywood is like, you didn't say this, but I'll say it. It can be performative. How have you guys both gone against the grain with that? Because I feel like your whole entire family does go against the grain.

Well, I have somebody to say about that. Yeah, please. I am involved, and Nikki's involved, and I am so proud of all of my children for what they do that you don't read or hear about. I'm involved with, you know, several different organizations. And here we're living in Los Angeles. there is all the talent and the celebrity. And it's very, very hard to get them to show up. You know what?

Even if you show up on a red carpet, on your way to dinner, you know, everybody wants you to buy tickets to their movie, watch their TV show, like their stuff on Instagram, buy this, sell all this stuff. But it's really hard to get them to show up at these events. What do their names rhyme with? It's a lot of people and it's really wrong

and I don't ever want my I don't want my children. I want them, you know, I really point that out because I think everybody's got to do their part especially when it's right down the street. You can walk into the Beverly Hilton for 10 minutes. Go to the Beverly Hills Hotel. Go to the hangar in Santa Monica.

You don't have to stay the whole time but just show up because it helps. It's inspiring to me as a mother, especially of a little girl to hear it. Like it's, it is important to instill and it does, it's values. Absolutely. Yeah. Is there any other wellness and beauty tips that we need to know that you guys do? Like, is there anything that?

But you do sculpting stuff, right? I do sculpting stuff. I have some sculptors for you. I'm very into sculpting in the morning. Taking, I don't, I have this one that's 24. Did they work? Omni, Raya. We're going to give you something that work after.

Really? De puffing. Yeah. The depuffing is, I can't. Can you see that I have a bruise? No. You can't see one thing. I was on my phone and I dropped my phone on my face the other day.

Were you talking to your mom? No. We are product junkries. If you came to my house, it's like a counter at Bergdorf's or Bloomingdale's. Have you ever done like a YouTube video where it's like what's in my house? my bathroom? Well, I do what's in my bag because I'm asked that a lot. What's in your bag? What is in your bag? Well, today, let's see. I don't have a big bag. I have some bubble yum. Bubble yum, the classic bubble yum. She loves bubble yum. Wait, she has bubble yum.

I have bubble yum. I have, let me see, $60. And I have a lipstick, a tissue, and a half piece of bubble yum. Here. Usually I have everything socks, a roller, some rollers, extra hair, mints, you name it. Thongs, not thongs. No, the things you were in your feet. I was like, oh, it's going to go a different direction. Well, the one, aren't those thongs? You used to call them thongs, didn't you? Flip flops.

What do you guys wish that people knew about you that they don't know? Nothing. I wish. Yeah, what do they not know about you at this point? I wish they knew about all the wonderful work that the Hilton Foundation does. I feel like that does not get enough credit. The Hilton Foundation was started by my great-grandfather in 1944. He left his whole fortune to it.

And to date, they have given away over $3 billion in grants to nonprofit organizations. All over the world. I didn't know that your grandfather left his inseminable. entire estate. That's crazy. So, I mean, some of their focus areas are foster youth, early child development, homelessness in Los Angeles. I mean, what they're doing downtown LA is unbelievable. What are they doing? Well, they're building homes. Oh, the foundation is doing this. Right. Got it. And we all get involved too and put our time and put up money as well. But what is the prize? It's bigger than the Nobel.

Peace Prize. It's the biggest prize. The Hilton Prize. It's the largest annual humanitarian award in the world. And it's awarded every year to an organization that is... People send in. ...allegating human suffering. Is that so many submissions? Frustrating for you guys at times when the press runs so far out of what you guys are actually doing and just talks about all this. I'm sure Jack's sitting over there,

so he's going to, he's working overtime. But is that... Do you find that to be challenging or fresh? I mean, or you've seen so much at this point that it's kind of like doesn't phase anymore. I think people get it now. And, I mean, we don't advertise it. But I think people, and it's not cool to be beating people up so much. It's kind of not okay.

Thank God. Right. I mean, what they did in the 90s, in the early 2000s to people, was so horrific that if that happened today, you know, the person doing it, would be canceled. Yeah, you know, it's interesting, even when we have, sometimes we'll have guests on the show, and it'll be like a great interview and even the headlines that get written just to get that click.

I can't believe it. I know. I can't believe. I'm like, this is like literally like one second. Not fair. Yeah. And then we'll get a call from someone like Jack and they're like, what the hell is this? That's what they do, though, is they just, they take something and they go, how do I get the clicks?

How do I get the people? I imagine that's so frustrating to be on the other end of it. They just lose credibility. I see that. And then I don't even click. Yeah. You know, I just know. It's fake.

Back in the day, it would be in, I won't mention a newspaper. And it would be a complete lie because I was there. And it mentions the restaurant. It mentions the chef. It mentions a new model. It mentions a designer that was wearing. Who was there? Like they get five or six things in there.

It's like an ad. It's an ad. But they got the click because they threw someone under the bus. They threw somebody under the bus. By the way, some things they'll say, are nicer and better than it really is. But that's not so much anymore. I have to say, I feel like I've been pretty lucky

and I think I'm a nice person, a good person. And I don't feel that I'm pretty happy. I was listening to Kid Rock on an interview of all people. I know it's a strange name, but he was saying for people that have that kind of attention, if you really want to get away from it, there's places you can go and things you could do to get away from it. Like, if you don't, if you want, people that say they don't want it,

they're curating that and calling it, and there's ways to get away. I mean, listen, we go to Texas and there's, there's no, but there's, there's, no way. Yeah, and so I always find it interesting when people are saying, oh, it's so hard. There's, there's things you can do. Look, what I, what cracks me up is when I see people, like Craigs, you go to Craigs, you know there's going to be somebody there. If you're dressed up and you look cute and people invite you and you have something to promote,

you know what you're dressed you're ready you have makeup on you say hi do your thing what i don't like is when these famous people go running in like like there is a back door okay there is a back door yeah you're saying i'm not going to say who but during the met gala a particular well like i commented on it uh was staying at a hotel i think he's he's a rapper and he came in out and he's got a big thing with iced tea with a straw. There's a little like rope here with maybe 10 fans and another rope here with 10 or 12 fans. Three people that work from go out first, two on each side and then two behind. Now, you can't just wave or smile. So, and they all, even the people working are meaner than he was.

I don't know. Just talking about. Get into this big car showing off. So I said, oh, really nice to the fans, huh? That's great. I said,

I know that hotel. There's a back door. Oh, my God. I would not want to get dressed down by you, Kathy. No, you don't. But you know, we had a, Michelle Piper came in here one time. And the reason I tell this story

is because I walked out and there was like huge bodyguards in the lobby here. And I'm like, oh, geez. Like, I guess it's Michelle Piper. And I didn't think anything. ran to the bathroom. And then she pops out the elevator, just glasses, casual, normal. And I realized those, they weren't there further. It was somebody that absolutely did not need bodyguards.

Right. So it was like a huge six foot four guy with like, you know, abs in a pecan. It's just so funny when you see that just a just position. Like she's myself by her. She comes in just by herself, casual and normal. The other guy has bodyguards that he doesn't need in an office full of women. All you need to do is just, you know, Michael Jackson, there's never going to be anybody as famous as him ever, ever, ever, ever. That is a superstar. That's done. Yeah, those days are done. And you know what? He would make eye contact and smile and get in his car. You don't have to put on some big show like you hated or you don't like it. Then stay home. I was first introduced to this

brand by my facialist, Stacey Christie. She is in San Diego and I attack her every time I'm there with 100 texts that I'm coming. She just really knows her stuff when it comes to skin. She introduced me to Alastin skincare. It's one of the fastest growing physician dispensed skincare brands. Everything is scientifically proven, which she loves, and I also love. Like, I don't want to waste my time with products that don't work. A lot of their products are designed to protect against free radicals. They're designed to help brighten your skin, reduce fine lines, wrinkles. What I noticed the most when I use their products, though, is it really helps with hyperpigmentation. You can go on their site and see all the different products they have, but my favorite product,

just personally, and Stacey's, is the C Radical Serum. It's absolutely amazing. It's like a vitamin C, and it has 14 vital antioxidants to help protect against stressors. So I have been told by a lot of doctors, dermatologists, skincare experts who have come on the show that a vitamin C in the routine is so important. And Alastin's C-Radical Defense antioxidant serum does not disappoint. I think you guys will like it if you're looking for a good vitamin C. If you're looking to support your skin, check them out.

Michael and I recently stopped drinking coffee after 9.30 a.m. And how I get through the day is with tea. I love tea specifically for podcasting. I'm always talking on a mic, so I like to have a cup of hot green tea next to me all the time. The one that I'm drinking right now is lipped in green tea. But don't sleep on it iced. I also will make a big picture of iced tea. I'll add raw honey from the farmer's market, fresh mint from my garden. some Meyer lemon and it is so good. Michael was like sneaking his dirty paws in my iced tea. So

iced or hot, Lipton Green Tea is amazing. For people that I'm looking for a mild pick me up, don't want to go straight down the coffee route. Like I said, maybe want to curb some of that coffee drinking. We love green tea. We love it during the podcast. We love it when we're in meetings. We love it throughout the day. It doesn't give you that cracked out feeling that coffee can sometimes do. And like I said, it gives you that slow, consistent energy pick me up. Fun fact, Lipton Green Tea has 75 milligrams of flavonoids, zero sugar, and zero calories. So it's perfect. It's also one of America's most beloved tea brands since 1891, which is crazy.

So they know what they're talking about when it comes to tea. They have the classic green tea flavor and the peach ginger. Don't sleep on the peach ginger lipped and green tea. That one is also fire. If you're looking to cut back your coffee or you just want something warm on your throat, maybe you're sick or you're podcasting talking on a mic or on social media, you have to try a hot cup of Lipton's green tea. And I'm telling you, try it iced. Try some of this delicious Lipton green tea today. Cheers.

The kiss isn't the typical first kiss. It's carnal and dirty and makes me excited for more. Oop, hold on, Kindlevella. What do we have here? What's all this about? Okay, wait.

What you guys should do, you should take your rugs. You should roll it out in front of Craig's and then you should walk down your carpet. That's so cute.

And let them shoot it. What a great idea. The only thing is they need better lighting there. Bring lighting. Truthfully, I will say this. I don't like, I always feel like, isn't that terrible? I'm going to call Craig and tell him we've got to get better lighting. Why don't you bring the lighting?

Craig's been on the show. We love Craig. Bring the lighting. Craig. We'll just tell Craig get some better lighting, man. You know what? That's actually really funny. We'll get those big, you know, when we have the makeup done, those big stand-up things.

ring lights. And we are going to do a carpet. Take the carpet and have someone shake it in front of you and then you just walk down it. Just be shameless and shameful and a long one. Use the shamelessness of how it is to walk in there and just like you're already walking down the Craig's red carpet. Like make it your rug. Do you know what I mean? A really long one. Like that we have to design it so it's like super, super long. I feel like that would crush it. Like 10 feet, 12 feet. We do have runners. We do have runners. Exactly. What makes a good prank? call. Somebody that can keep a straight face that has a good phone book. I always laugh and I ruin it. A good phone book. Let's have a good. Remember my friend? She was 85, 90 years old. We would go and have dinner with her once a week with the children, Mrs. Lampert. Yes. She was a character and she would love to have her martini and we would watch Jeopardy with her and who wants to be a millionaire and have dinner and we loved her.

So then she'd take her shoes off, twist her toes a little bit. And she'd say, girls, do the girls. Go into my room and get my phone book. It's right by my bed. We're going to make some calls. Is that right? Do you remember that? No.

Maybe you were in a sleepover. A couple times we did that. We'd invite people over for bridge games and tell them to bring this and bring that. Can we make a prank call? I heard you have a left foot charity. Oh, no, I'm starting a new... You probably heard about the new business that I'm starting. What?

I'm looking for funding and it's called One Damn Shoe. Yeah, that's right. Do you ever lose shoes? No, what do? I do. Like a good expensive shoe. But this is a prank call you make, though, yes or no? Well, I could, but if you lose that once you left it somewhere in a hotel.

But think about it. If you spray in your ankle... You want to donate that shoe or you could sell it because why if somebody's going to a wedding if they have a cast, then they have, but they need a shoe for the other foot. Okay. So it's kind of clever. Just kidding. You're nuts. Can we make a prank call?

We should. Okay. What about Howard Stern? Well, I don't know Howard Stern on speed dial. I don't have Howard Stern. I don't have my phone with me. Why do you want to prank call him? Just, I don't know.

I think it'd be funny. Who could we call? Can we call someone funny? Wait, do we have to press Star 6? No, you know what? She knows all that. I believe that Star 69 was canceled because of me. I swear to you.

Meaning like the callback? I believe that they put that out there because of me. And I believe I'm part of the reason there is no more 411 information. Because you actually believe this? Kind of, because I harassed them so much. Because you would do prank calls to 411. Yes. And I would start talking with them.

They loved it actually. They loved it actually. I used to have an Arnold Schwarzenegger switchboard when I was a kid. Right. 14, 15. And it had all these random sayings that the person pulled from his movies. And so it would be like, hello, goodbye, whatever it is. And you could have full on convert.

You have to click all the, this is vintage days back when you could put, what was the number where you could block your numbers? number, star six seven. Star six seven. Do you have to do that if you do a prank call? I don't think it works anymore. Oh, it still does? Oh, okay. I've been out of the game too long. Call one of my friends. Sure. That's actually better. Say something like, what is the person's name? Gillian. Gillian. Okay, what does she do? Where does she live? Like, what's her deal? She lives in San Diego. Okay, does she have any children? She has two. How long has she been married? She's been married for about 20 years. Oh, okay. Maybe 10. And is she fun? No longer than that.

Does she do anything? Does she do anything? Does she have 10? She's obsessed that both of you guys are on the podcast right now. She's like freaking out sending me. Her question, by the way, was how is it to be in the doubles club? Oh, doubles. Oh, doubles. Oh, it's the best. If you're in New York, it'll take you. It's a holiday club. It is every cookie, every candy, every fudge. It's like Wonka chocolate factory. The best food. It's the greatest. You can't, to get into the doubles club, you have to like know 15 people. But I'm like, how am I supposed to know 15 people? I'll get you in. I'll get you in. I'll I've got a member there since I'm like forever. Okay, so Gillian's obsessed with both of you. She knows you're coming on the podcast. So then she's gonna know. No, she may not know.

She's got a life, hopefully. And she'll watch it later. No, but should I say, does she play tennis or something? Yeah, she plays tennis. So I'm gonna call her right now. Gillian. Okay, Michael, can you tell me your number? When did she grow up?

She grew up in Coronado. In Coronado. Yeah. God damn. No one picks up their phone anymore. Hello, Mrs. Corriette. I'm calling from the school and you had promised that you were going to be sending some cupcakes for Coco's class at the beginning of the year. And I just wanted to remind you because one of the parents was very negligent and were very, very upset.

And we want to make sure that you've got the cupcakes and bring Dixie cups because they like juice and no peanuts. Peanuts, some of the children, they're allergic to peanut oil. Please get back to me. You know, I'm just sick of these parents signing up for everything. And then they don't show up. I will be waiting to hear from, thank you so much. Bye-bye. What a child that you have.

You signed up for Kim. Do you want the, I'm up early bird. I'm bringing the 6 a.m. bags and bacon. Or do you want, I'm a lazy little sleeper? I'm not going to. You're really showing. I'm going a different side of you on this podcast.

I think people love it. Oh, I don't care. You know what? People, the colorfulness of your personality is, it's unique. It is. It's amazing. I just think, what a fun childhood. No wonder she was so strict.

No, I was, I have a very. Is it making sense? I have a very, let me tell you something. Very boring side too. Okay. There's times I think to myself, oh my God, Rick will be driving home from a, General's, I am...

So boring. I feel so sorry for that man that I was sitting next to. I had no personality. All the gas was out of my tank. And, you know, he must just think, God, poor wreck, who's he married to? Well, I imagine it depends in the atmosphere that you're in.

You kind of make... And you have to excite me. Yeah, you have to feed off... Yeah, I get that. You need entertainment. You need that stimulation. That's why you and Mark, you hit the ball.

Yeah, whenever we see... I get that too, because if I'm in a room, if Lauren brings me in, there's a bunch of duds around. I can't fake it. I can't do it. Same. I need fun people. Oh, you. You guys are the same like that. I feel like you two are the same. He will not fake it. No, I don't have the energy to fake it. What sign are you at Libra? Aries. Ooh. Ooh. What a response? What sign are you? Gemini.

Ooh! I have actually several people that I love that are Aries and Gemini's, I had a boyfriend that was Gemini and one of my best friends. Nikki sent me something funny. the other day. And I tell her a lot. Some Aries, okay, go on. What? Remember I said how some Aries women are off? Why? They can be very intimidating. You know that girl that you walk up at the party? I don't care if you're 18, 40, 50, whatever. And you walk up to a group of girls because you know some of them and you're standing there and the person just doesn't even include you. That's, I feel like, that's an energy thing. Yeah. Yeah. Like I would say, Nick, this is. This is Nikki, everybody.

We're just talking about it. And I would bring her in and I would, can, you know, go on with my conversation. But there's a few of these Aries women that are really like that. So I said, think of just a couple bitchy people and look them up and see when they're born. And she goes, you're right. Wow. They're Aries. No, not all of them.

But she sent me something about a club. What? Where they check your ID. Oh, yes. And they say you can't come in. Ares women or men? They look. Both.

Both. Because they're known to fight. Ah. Did you believe it? I can believe it. When I first met him, he was known to fight. I had to spiff that right up. By the way, she met me when I was 12.

Right, right. I didn't meet him at 12. You've straightened down a little bit. I figured out last week. You did. You would. I think sometimes in my younger days, I ran a little hot. Did you guys meet in L.A.?

No, San Diego. In elementary school. In Rancho Santa Fe. Wow. He thought I was the substitute teacher because I was this tall with big boobs. She came in, fully developed. He was like four one. And I said, whoa.

He was really cute, though, but like really short. I didn't even hit puberty. I was a literal child. So we've known each other through all iterations. We haven't been together that long. It's well, I relate to you and Rick in the sense where I really look up to your relationship with what you guys have done with your family. It's so incredible.

It's so opposite of Hollywood. Right, right. Well, we keep, we really have our own little crew and we love everybody, but we keep a very close, you know, our real. Yeah, at the end of the day, we all, like, I think that's what, that resonates with us for sure because we're very tight. We know we've been together since we were 20. We've known each other since we were 12. Like sometimes we rib each other and people that listen are like, oh, I can't believe. But I was like, imagine being. And you work together, which is great. Yeah, I mean, but imagine like having that with someone since you were 12. And so, of course, the dynamic is, we know each other so well, that's what I'm saying, you know. It's so lovely. What's the tip from both of you for a healthy marriage? I would say, always keeping it exciting, leave a little to the imagination, open communication,

men don't like to be bored with gossip and nonsense. always make the home a really pretty inviting, warm, safe place if you have to go out and pick one flower in the garden or I've been known to do it out of neighbors. Light a little candle, have some music on, have the TV on. I mean, just make it cozy and nice. And don't be a nag and try to look presentable. His mom told me that there's always got to be like talking points. I love when they talk.

Yeah. And then also, Patricia from Southern Charm. I don't know if you watch Southern Charm. It's, you got to watch the show. Oh, you know what? We know her from New York. I feel like you guys would love her. Mrs. Etchel.

Yeah. That's her. Remember? Yes, she do. I'm going to show you a picture of her. Because she lived up there for a while. She's beautiful. She told me she goes,

I go, how have you been married for so long? She's like, you do the Nancy Reagan stare. You stare. Like, it's the most interesting thing that they've ever said they could be talking about their hairdo and you just stare at the man and you just shake the head like it's so captivating and interesting and you've never heard anything better that's cute so sometimes he'll be talking i have no idea what he's saying and i'm like just honey you're so small nobody knows what you know it's 100% you just keep telling him that what's your tip for a healthy marriage something you told me

when i got married was to never stop having fun together and whether that's that's going on a, you know, a little last minute vacation or just out to dinner, just having that special alone time and laughing and having fun. How can you not be laughing with everyone that you have around? I mean, it's like, you've got some characters. You've had some characters. Yeah, imagine with you guys you have to be careful. Yeah, you have to be careful.

Well, especially for you because there's a lot of people that will see kind of the outside. And they're like, oh, that's interesting. Maybe I can get something. How do you kind of curate and watch for that? Well, I don't think I ever talked about that. I don't want to ever make my kids feel like that. But you just have to be, I think, good influences, like, to make sure that you have happy couples around.

Yeah. That's a good tip. And not some, you know, playboy that's going to be like, oh, let's go out and have beers and, you know, look at the chicks. Look at her. The voices, I can't believe these voices. Like, you're kind of like an actress. Yeah, I am.

Tell us about your rug collaboration before you go and what you're both working on. And can we get a pillow line? This collaboration took a long, it's, you know, a big corporation. I did not realize. I could not believe that we, you know, when I looked at the rugs in person, because Nikki had ordered them for her house in Belport, I'm like, you could actually put these in the washing machine. That's cool.

And so I started talking to other people. I'm like, oh, yeah, we have ruggables. We have ruggables. Like, I'm the only person that didn't know about this. I was just in shock at how beautiful they were. And they look so expensive. What's your favorite each? Which one is your favorite one?

I would say that I like the Chrysler. I like the Bryant. The Diana Trellis. The Diana Trellis. I have them an. every room in my house. And I'm not just saying that. I literally do. I have them in the kitchen, the runners in the kitchen. I have them down all my halls, in the girls' room, the living room. I need to get one. Can I see them right now? Can I see? Do you have any pictures that I can see?

I need to get one in the playroom because after six or eight months of the kids in there playing, oh my God, there's silly putty that's ground in, there's finger paints. It's really, and I go and I buy these rugs. I like the layering of a rug anyway. And it can get very expensive, especially the wall to wall down the hall. Yeah, that's a lot. I changed.

We just watched it before you arrived. For some reason, I feel like this episode is going to cost me a lot. It's like there's rugs and there's clothes. No, the rugs are affordable. Ornaments. China. What's the baked potato?

The caviar dish. The caviar and the baked potato. Yeah, but what caviar do I need? Um, you know. Good caviar. Okay, which kind? Well, it's hard to get beluga. Okay.

I think it's illegal, mom. Oh, it is? I think so. Well, when we travel, I get it. I think in America, it's illegal. Saruga. Magoot. Magoot is really good.

Magut. Okay, and could it be any old baked potato? Well, I like a nice, hard recipe. I always say make sure it's firm. This conversation is almost gone and food. I don't like it. I don't like it with those little things. No, limped dick potato.

No, you know the ones with like that looks like there's little radishes with warts with like hair growing out of them? None of that. Fresh. A big firm baked potato. If people want to shop the rugs, where can they shop them? And is there anything else that you both are working on that we need to talk about? The rugs will be online. Okay.

Yeah, the rugs are out. They're online right now. We did 10 styles. They are fabulous, inspired by our. homes, hotels we have lived in. They're really versatile. I feel like there's something for everybody. That the Diana Trellis is in my, which I haven't seen that yet. I saw a picture she showed me. In the girls' room, they share a room. Yet I have it in my dining room, which is, you know, in her room it's bunk beds and dolls and stuffed animals and it's really cute. I have it in a very

probably the most modern It's versatile. Dining room. It's all like white florists like Chanel with the black border with a big loose side table. He loves this.

He loves this. He loves this. I like a good curator. Let me tell you something about details. No, no. He told me when we started dating,

he's like, you need a tailor. I have a tailor for you. I would love a tailor just drove through your entire gate. She comes in, she goes, I ripped the gate off. She goes, I made a boo-boo.

I said, well, don't worry about it. I said, don't worry. Thank God that you're okay. Well, you're going to think I'm exaggerating. When I tell you, swear on my life, we probably have a picture, which I'll send you, the entire wood gate down on the floor. How did she do that, Mom? I think she must have thought she was driving.

I don't know what she, and then she went rammed, but like perfectly cut it off. And then my son comes in, he goes, Mom, what happened to the gate? I'm like, why is it that bad? He goes, you better come out here. And she smashed Dad's car. And he just got a new car. He's not driving a Honda. Well, I'm thinking there's something wrong with this picture.

The lady that's taking the hem up on my, has got the same car as my husband, you know, maybe I'm paying her too much. How often is she coming over to Taylor? But I thought it was the same car. And I'm like, oh, my God. And then I realized, no, it's a little different. I'm not a car person.

Do you think it's weird that my straight husband said I need a good tailor? Well, she had her clothes. It was all fucked up and not feeling right. He's very detailed. No, I can, I have a. I changed a T-shirt by having tailoring done. Just like, yes. Completely changed it.

Yes. No, it's important. No, he's right. Where can everyone find both of you? I'm sure they already follow you. What's your social media? What's the link to Ruggable? Tell us all the things.

Kathy Hilton. with K-A-T-H-Y-H-I-L-N-D. You don't even know how to spell your name. Kathy Hilton. I'm sure that we're going to find it. Kathy and Nikki Hilton. I also have a new jewelry line. Oh, tell us about that.

And it's very exciting. And they made a lot of sales. No, this is not. I see you in QVC. You guys should go on QVC. I did that, and it is so much fun. But I am so hyper as it is that I get so jacked up that I feel after an hour show that I'm ready to,

and then I got to do it all over again in three hours. It's a lot. I love it. Anyway, but we sold to a bunch of department stores, and it's Kathy Hilton, Anna Zuckerman. Cute. Anna Zuckerman, Jules. And it's on my, on my Instagram.

But we're excited about the rugs. This is kind of our way into home because our dream is to have all at home, everything. I am telling you everything beautiful for the home. I copied the pillow. I put it in my handbag. Which pillow? What is this pillow you're talking about?

Mark text me like this pillow that you have and I bought this pillow. I'm going to show it to you. The next time we do this, we're going to sit down, Mark and Keith, and we're going to get Brian Johnson. You guys should come to my house. Oh, I love it. Would you ever want to do in the library? Do you want to do something in the library? If I could record a podcast with you guys in the library, my life would be made.

We're going to get Brian to teach us how to learn. We don't even have to record a podcast in the library. No, I'm, because I'm eventually going to be doing one anyway, so I'd like to prepare. You guys need a podcast. Call. Call, I mean, they would crush it. Here's the phone. You have a prank call segment, how they used to do on the Stern show. Yeah, that's what made me think of Howard Stern.

Yeah, good Lord. And you know what? In a person, he's a very polite, very tall, shy, man, he's a neighbor. Doesn't he live near us in the Hamptons? And Nikki does a lot of things with his wife. No, I don't. They used to do the best prank phone calls. Sal and Richard were doing.

I copied you on the pillow. Oh, my God. Wait a second. That is hysterical. I know. I love it. I love it. That's the pillow.

Where did you get it? I found it on Port-House. I'm like Port-Toh. I had to lug this pillow around all over the pillow. That's what I'm saying. I think that you should do that like a mini baby pillow line. I love them. But the funny thing is I sleep with them.

I know. I'm just, I didn't know. why I was carrying it. It feels so good. Okay. And I like it when I'm carrying it around. Yeah, I just was carrying it.

Not on the flight? Yeah, I carried. I used it on the flight, kind of. And you got to get my fan. You, what's the fan? The fan is one word fans that it just won two awards. And they are gorgeous. I have them in like a...

You use it more of the sound machine. I use it as a sound machine. I use it as a sound machine. Not like to be cool. But also it's relaxing. It's a hum. It's like I feel relaxed. Mouth tape.

I'm going to give both. of you. Oh my God, I saw this on your Instagram. I tape my mouth shut. Every night. Why? Because it automatically relaxes your nervous system. You will never have a better sleep with your pillows and your fan and your mouth tape. I'm going to do it tonight. You can lose weight with this. How does that make sense? Because if you breathe through your mouth, it's really bad to breathe through your mouth. Like people are not understand. It's better for your oil health too, because you're clothes and you don't get bad. And you also get bloated, right? Yeah. You get better abs if you breathe through your nose. I'm going through all these bloating de bloat.

Try, I bet you, try taping your mouth shut. I'm going to, I need to do that anyway. Okay. I'm going to give you much stuff. I'm going to use it during the day. During your NAD. Right. You can come back anytime we could have talked to you about a hundred things. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Thank you both for doing this. You guys were so much fun and I love it. I think it's a different, it's a different look at you guys. I think there's so many different things. You guys are like onions. We learned a lot. Peel. Peel the onion. Thank you. Thank you.
