This is Teddy Tea Pod with Teddy Mill and Kevin. Hi, guys, welcome to this week's Teddy Tea Pod. I am super excited to welcome on Kathy Hilton. She's a proud mother, fashion designer, and passionate philanthropist, not to mention freaking hilarious and a walking meme. So let's bring her on, ask her all of your juicy questions, and uh have a little fun, shall we? Hello? Kathy? Who? Hi? We did it, We did ed. Thank you so much for joining us this week. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to us over here at teddy te Pod. Well, thank you for including me. How's it going? You just got to New York. Just got to New York last night. It was raining and uh so Kyle and I had just a quiet little dinner at seraphine As last night. We had a few good laughs. She was staying downtown and I said, come up here, you know, and so we had a great time. And I walked into my apartment and I forgot that I had sympathy that I said it was okay for my old assistant to stay here. So I walked in and there were shoes, there were closed on the floor. I'm like, somebody's been sleeping in my bed. So anyway, I figured it out. She was supposed to come for the weekend, but she stayed a little longer well, and then she left her clothes out? Does she not know to keep it tidy? I know? Right? Hi? Yeah? Yeah, well all right? So are you on watch What Happens Live tonight? Yes? Is this your first first time? My gosh, well, I just watched the episode referred to Andy Cohen is an Drew or Andy? I say Andy, but a lot of people say daddy. A lot of the housewives will say zaddi and um, yeah, do you know what that means? No, I think you're not well that that would be a Google search for later. But no, I call him Andy. He's of course going to be so excited to have you on because you are hilarious. I was talking to my producer on the tea pod today about the first time that we hung out. When I think you're hosting a birthday for Kyle's for Kyle at your house and we came downstairs and you did prank calls and we listened. Oh my god, we had fun, didn't we? So when did you become okay. So the kind of the background of how the podcast is is listeners send in their questions and then I have to ask everything. You're welcome to answer whatever it is that you want, but it's kind of rapid fire. Are you good to get started? Sure? All right? First off, how do you enjoy being on the Housewives and what made you finally do it? Well, I've had a really well first of all, when the production kept asking and asking and asking and would not let up, and then Kyle got into the mix, and you Kyle does not take no for an answer, so it was really yes, no, no, no, no, no no no. Maybe because I don't like to hurt anybody's feelings or disappoint them. So I was like, well maybe you know, no, no, no, no, no, no no. And it went on for three months, and finally I was so as you know, Kyle and I've had our ups and downs and you know whatever, and so I was very flattered that she wanted me to come on so much. So I thought. I talked to Rick and he said, well, I think it's a great opportunity you can spend some time together. And I just thought, well, it's COVID there's nothing else to do. No, I'm just kidding pretty much, all right, you know what, I'll give it a try. And now that you gave it a try, do you think it was better or worse than you expected? I had a wonderful experience. I could honestly tell you I had a blast. I had a very very good experience. And is there a trip or something that was your most favorite that you could PenPoint are your favorite night of the season. I would say that I really enjoyed like Tahoe because I was so nervous to go without Rick, and I've never gone away for three days like that, and so I was just like a little kid in the candy store, you know the scene where you're in bad with Kyle the fan the chips, the red bull, not knowing it's a red bull. Tears were coming out of my eyes. It was so good. Well, I didn't have my glasses on, and Kyle may a dinner forest and it was burnt salmon, so I really didn't eat that much, and they didn't have lunch meat to make a sandwich or anything like that. So I was looking through the refrigerator and I didn't feel like fruit. So I saw some chips. I grabbed the chips, and I just grabbed what I thought was either a health drink or um. You know, you don't usually walk into the refrigerator which your glasses on, right, So I just grabbed something and I thought it was either a soft drink. I didn't want a Coca cola and UM, so I just grabbed that. And I was scared because they said there were bears around. So I started getting nervous and I thought, I'm going to go in and Kyle knows I sleep with a fan, and I thought she'd be thrilled to have me in there. But she gets very She just gets very annoyed and does not have a lot of patients like that. You know that we got a lot of flak for what for sharing a bed one time when we were in Provence. Everyone was like, that is so weird. Bu But Kathy, I'm glad that you're similar to me, like I've any time that I've done a trip anything. If somebody is like a good friend or my sister, like, I want to be like close to them, right, So are you with me? Then? I mean, as long as they don't snore, as long as they don't snore, true, but my husband snore, so I'm constantly having to like push him to the side, like, go on your side. I've got the best thing for you. What And for airplanes they're called ear Max. Okay, it's like candle wax, and you buy them like at right Aid or any any place. You've got to get the name brand ear Max M A C. S. I think it is, and it really you can't hear a thing. Well, I need it because the struggle is real every night. And then I don't understand why when people snore they say like, oh, I wasn't snoring when you like push them a little, obviously you think I'm just pushing you to for fun now to be being exactly keeping. And then he says it's me and I'm like, no, dear, that was not me because I'm not sleeping yet. Well, husbands also do the same thing when you decided to try to watch something together where they always fall asleep, and then when you tell them that they're asleep, they're like, I'm not sleeping. Well, yes, you actually were, and that's why I'm changing the channel. I don't need to watch this by myself. That's sterical. Did you know that you were going to be a fan favorite like this. Well, I mean, you know, that was the one thing I just thought, Well, I don't, I don't know, I'm you know how people are going to receive me. So um, that was the one thing I thought. But you know what, once those cameras are on and everything, Um, and I have relationships with most of the girls, um, a couple of Erica. I didn't really know. I met her that night at Kyle's birthday at my house that you were up, and I don't think I've ever met her other than that until we started filing, and I did not know Sutton and all the other girls I knew, so I was really comfortable. And I'm a girl's girl. I like to, I love to you know, have fun and all of that. So I was just really excited about the part, you know, to go there and have a little party, have a little action. How I loved your prank. And then aside from Kyle, who do you think was the most welcoming housewife and who was the most stand offish? We need both, we need both. I'm gonna say I would say like real warm and fuzzy everybody, maybe, um, maybe setting a little bit and now I really really like her, but in the beginning, and she was new last year too, so that's understandable. And she didn't know me, so she's not gonna like it's not her place to like try to do enough of the other girls like Lisa and Dory and Garcell and and Kyle. I mean I felt pretty good, you know, and I knew Crystal. I know, how did you meet? Came in dow together. I met Crystal true just mutual friends at different events through the you know, the last few years. And listener question, not mine, what was your first impression of her versus now? And do you think what you're seeing on the show is true to who she is? I have to say. Somebody was asking me about in the car today. We're doing an interview in the car, and I would just say I don't want to answer it, but I truthfully do feel of all the girls, they're all pretty passionate, and I think they're and how they feel and how they act. I don't think that anyone's putting anything on. Yeah, and that's why I think it's been easy for me just to be myself, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, did you ever get in any type of altercation with anybody during your season one, you know I did not, But I'm not a fighter. I'm more of the one that's trying to smooth things out and be the you know, the little psychologist, the therapist. Oh I did notice that. I'm not to give anything away, but the episode that I'm on, it gets heated between me and somebody, and you like look up and you start laughing. You're like you're a little spitfire. And I was like, Cathy, Like immediately I went from feeling like red and heated to like laughing and like thank you. I a pre shaded that comment because like lighten the kind of deflects it. And then it just kind of just like, let's not take anything too too seriously and let's not hurt anybody's feelings or push you know. I understand there's drama and there has to be drama, and these are all very strong ladies with opinions, but I don't like to see anybody get pushed over the edge. Yeah, now I agree. Um, and we've I've lived that breathe that you know, hopefully learned from it. But um, knowing what you know, now, would you do another season well, you know, let's see, there's fifteen more episodes to see, so you know that old saying, oh we got to see how I'm how you're uh edited or whatever. I do believe that what you put out there, you're pretty much responsible for how you're edited. Yet if they're only using you know, if we're up filming in like Tahoe for four days and there's eight girls, seven other girls other than me besides me, um, how much can they really use? Yeah, and I'm just a friend, so you know, well, you're a day good friend. But I think also people don't realize how much they don't actually show. So when people blame the edit, it's all things that you've said and done, so you know, there really is that. But if you're not seeing a full, well rounded person, then yes, you're gonna, you know, notice their faults more than you would if you're seeing more of them. But there's no like, oh it was the edit. It's more just how much of their life are you actually seeing so that you can you know, because each one of the women you can see yourself in at some point like oh you know this, you know I this reminds me of this, or this feels good to me, or this doesn't. But when they really, you know, focus in on the drama, then you miss some of the other stuff. But you know, you say it and it happens, it's out there, it's on camera, and you know you kind of got to live with it, exactly. But speaking of I heard from actually Danielle who runs this podcast, that Paris and Nikki didn't know you were coming on the show until um after you started filming. That's exactly right, they were. They kept hearing and of course every year it says that I'm going to be on the show, you know, every single year for like the last nine years. So when they heard it, they were just like, oh, no, there's no truth to that. There's no truth. Well, they kept hearing it and hearing it. So finally Nicky called and I said no, because I hadn't made a decision yet. And I said no, I said no, I mean, I don't know. I've I've been offered, but you know, I doubt it and whatever. So then the girls were down in Greenwich Village walking around in New York City and they got a phone call that People magazine had gone ahead and said, yes, your mother, I mean Kathy is going to be on the show. So they confirmed it. So all of a sudden, my phone was ringing off the wall. And of course, you know me, I lose my phone a lot too, so I always have that excuse. So I, um, I was avoiding the girls. And then once you actually did speak to them, what was their response? Um, you know, not thrilled, but I mean in the same token like they were very much so in the public eye. They you know, on tons of different television shows, always out there like how was it being in the reverse? Like, now of a sudden, you're on the show. Now they you know, they've gotten used to the idea. What do you think they're thinking? They're okay? Now I think that they're okay. Nikki is actually gonna bark in tonight. She is, yes, And Paris started sending me a lot of the cute memes. So that was her way of kind of saying it's okay. I promised. Somebody said, Look, you don't have to worry. I'm not going to make a fool of myself. I don't curse, and I'm not going to be you know, fighting with people. That's just not who I am. Yeah, So that's they're all of branch unless I get pushed. Well, I was gonna say there has to be some sort of everyone has a little bit of a dark side exactly. Um, everyone wants to know do you think that, Well you've already said that Nikki is gonna do watch what Happens live? But do you think they'll ever be on Real Housewives? I doubt it. I mean unless it was something that was one of my charities or something like that. Yeah, something important to you, right, they would not know. I don't mean you know, they're both really busy. Yeah. Well, one last Housewives question and then we'll switch to more family and a couple lifestyle that people have. So let's take a quick break and we'll come right back. Do you love wy sarcasm and talk fast? And are you longing to return to Stars Hall of for one more trip to Kim's Antiques? So just to pick up a few things at Dosie's Market. Is an overnight stay at a dragon Flame? On your list of plans for a getaway? Is a burger from luke S Diner on the menu for tonight. This is Scott Patterson. I was Luke Dane's for one fifty three episodes and in four Netflix movies I Am all In and I Heart Radio podcast. Come hang with us. We're read watching together, We're visiting with all our favorite cast and crew members. We talked fast. We've got a lot to say. Listen to I Am all In wherever you listen to podcasts. All right, coming back from the break, This question is kind of a doozy, but I can't really be held accountable because I'm just reading from my Instagram. During the earlier seasons, when there was drama between Kim and Kyle, where you team Kim or team Kyle, I stopped watching the show. I was so furious. What part made you furious? That they were fighting or that they were hurting? Like, break it down for me? I mean I just felt that, you know, I was very very angry at that scene in the limousine. That was a yeah, And I didn't I've never really watched the show. I mean, not a big TV person to begin with, because I'm just to a d D and I just just sit still and uh, yeah, that was that was it? Yeah, No, I bet that would be hard to watch. And and also raising kids and daughters in the spotlight, how was that to watch with them? You know all of the everybody's feedback in regards to your sisters, also in regards to your daughters, your family, like being in the public eye, like how do you process that? And then how is your way just kind of you know, like you said you stopped watching, you don't look, or like I sometimes want to not look or pay attention to something and then I go down deep down rabbit holes and can't stop myself right adding yeah, so what do you what do you? What did you do during that? It was very, very difficult, and there were terms I did try to just shut it out, you know, yeah, I know, Well it's I can't even imagine how hard that must be. But going to a lighter note, um, are you excited to sometime probably soon for all of your kids to have like you're gonna have a ton of grand babies? You already have a good amount. And what is your favorite part about being what? What name do you call yourself? Like? What do your grandkids call you? Keep key? See, I had a feeling it wasn't gonna be like Granma or me maa or something like that. So I was like I gotta ask this. I got okay, So Kiki, well you have to go on my latest Instagram and you will see Nikki asking Lily Grace about me, and it's pretty damn funny what she says. Can you give us this? All? Right? Well, everybody gotta go to Cathy's instagram to see and um. Next question regarding family is what is your most favorite quality from both of your sisters. I would say they both have big hearts. Oh I love that. And at the end of the day, whatever I need or whatever support I would need or if I need to, they're there for me. You know that's amazing because at the end of the day, no matter what comes up, you know that they love of each other. They love each other and you always in Um. Now we have a fan caller coming in, Kathy, So that means someone's going to call in and ask probably you a question and then you know, go from there. And her name is Brianna. So Brianna welcome. I am such a big fan of both of you. Thank you. You're absolutely hilarious. Um. But I have a question, and I was wondering if you guys were both asked to do another season of Live what'd you guys? Well, I was just saying earlier, there's fifteen more episodes to watch, so I just want to see how it all plays out. I had a great experience, a great time. I really loved it, and um, if everything goes well, I would love to um. And in regards to me, I never say never about anything, but at the end of the day, this year, it was really important for me to be able to focus on my family and my business and everything with COVID my kids. You know, my kids are little, so like they weren't in school, they were home. I just I and I know how anxious. Perfectly it worked out perfectly for what it is. And you know what, all of the girls, including Kathy that I I know, I have remained close with and so you know, it's like the important relationships are still there. Um. So yeah, uh next scholar is Katherine, Hi, Teddy and Kathy. I was just wondering, what are your favorite characteristics of Paris sing Nikki. Are there any funny moments that you guys share together that you just wanted to let us know about. Well, I mean, I'm very close to both my daughters. Nikki is actually on her way over here and her little girls are coming and we're gonna go at lunch and then know, you know, to the park and just do something fun like that. My daughters are just as close to me as you could imagine. And they both are smart, thoughtful, loving, giving. I'm very proud of the women that they've become. They give back, they're very philanthropic, and I think that that's the most important thing that I instilled, and that that they enjoy giving back, and that is to me the greatest and there are real and I think that they didn't let the success ever change them or jade them, which people especially in this industry, because I have to tell you a lot of people they don't want to be bothered, don't come up and talk to them. They're like you know, and I just am really proud of the people and a good human beings they are. Yeah, that comes from you know, they're charging their kind. Yeah, they've always been so nice and kind every time that I've met them, Like and you know, there's there in your mind you think, wow, they're going to be so intimidating, and then they're just so warm and welcoming. So that's kudos to you, Kathy on that. Thank you. All right, we have just a couple last questions which are just silly. Everyone's obsessed with wanting to know what the lollypops are that you're always eating. Oh, I actually just um left that to them. You know, that was a mistake because we were doing like a press day and I did not realize that it was on. The camera was on, uh, and so I actually was just getting over bronchitis. And Dr Sugarman's my doctor on Bedford Drive and you can call there and find out they are Vitamin Sea little lollipops and he's got a big jar of them, and I always grab a bunch of them and they taste really good and they don't have sugar. Oh I need to get some of that. And there's not a name on it or anything, but if you call there, they will tell you. He's going to be getting a lot of calls after this podcast. He's gonna be like, what did Cassie do? Um? And then what is your typical breakfast? Well, today I thought I need a little protein, So today I had scrambled eggs and cantleloat and coffee. Usually I have a chocolate protein shake that sugar free that Teddy. It is unbelievable. I can't think of the name of it right now, it's garden something. You're gonna have to make it for me. I'm gonna need to give it a track, like a milkshake from like the best. Yeah. And in closing, what is your proudest accomplishment? My marriage and my children? I love? That just made me emotional. And how many years have you been married? Forty one? You met in high school I was fifteen and Rick was nineteen, and then we got married when I'm a nineteen. Wow. Well, I am so grateful that you came on and chatted with us today, and I can't wait to hang with you soon. We gotta go get a chop salad. I know we're gonna have lunch and you're busy, and then oh, I know we have one last thing to discuss, Kathy. I've been getting blown up in my d M s because when Kyle and I were tying one off in Palm Springs are Laquinta and I was dancing and you said, who is that? And everyone's like, oh God, he doesn't know you. I'm she percuted you, But you know what she showed me. What I was seeing was a FI and a peculiar looking sandal. What Kathy, you have to be on my side with these sandals. They're really on trend. I know they are, but I just, I just I was like, who is that? Because all she was showing where's your leg? In the dancing? She didn't the part I saw. I didn't see your face, So I'm like, who, who does she know that's worried these shoes? Honest with you, I was dying. I'm like, I'm getting all these Cathy's shaded you. I'm like, no, she didn't. We get along. I love her. I think she's hilarious. I'm like, and when she came on the when they first and out, she came on the show. I even said she's going to be TV gold, So I mean, now I can be a know it all again because I was right.
