Being Grandparents

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, Stevie & Deanne share how differently they were raised when it comes to family gatherings. Stevie grew up visiting Grandma and Grandpa every weekend—no special reason needed—just food, fun, and togetherness. Deanne’s family saved get-togethers mostly for holidays and special occasions.

They talk about how those traditions shaped their marriage, how they plan family events now, and the secret to bringing everyone together (hint: favorite foods help!). If you’ve ever wondered why some families gather constantly while others rarely do, this episode will feel very familiar.

Perfect for parents, grandparents, and anyone who loves family stories, laughter, and practical ideas for keeping relatives connected.

In this out-of-this-world episode, Stevie asks Deanne, “Where were you in 1982?” (Spoiler: She was 9 years younger and possibly still playing with Barbies). What starts as a nostalgic trip back to E.T. turns into a surprisingly deep dive into divorce, blended families, friendship, and what it really means to “phone home.”

From flying bikes to emotional goodbyes, the grandparents unpack the emotional core of Spielberg’s sci-fi classic—and yes, they do get teary-eyed (but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of laughter and a few jokes about glowing fingers).

Perfect for grandparents, film lovers, and anyone trying to explain to their grandkid why this movie made them cry... again.
