The mom went as far as to claim it’s one of the “top three” places where she has “no business being.”

Kylie asserted the only magazines she would get involved in are Modern Dog and Modern Cat.
“I would be the stage mom behind the camera for Freddie or Patty, or Freddie and Patty. That’d be cute,” she expressed about her pets.
One fan suggested the podcaster do ADHD Magazine, to which she replied, “Immediately yes.”
“Also, Food to Love’s Simply Bread issue? Also yes,” she added. “I’d be on the cover. You want to fill a pool with loaves of bread and bread items? I’m talking anything that uses a yeast or a sourdough starter? You can catch me doing the backstroke through that pool. I will happily be photographed, again, fully clothed in a pool of bread. How did we get here?”

One of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover models, Hilary Duff, recently appeared on Kylie’s podcast to give the actress her flowers.
“I can't explain to you how cool it is to see a fellow mother-of-four on the cover of a magazine like this,” Kylie told Hilary. “It is this vision of beauty and this s--- ‘I have it'... It is so special to see someone who has four kids … I find it unbelievably empowering to see that you not only said yes to this but you look phenomenal.”
