Plus, they chat about what they’re currently watching on TV, react to some wild current events, and unpack a recent Vogue article about dating preferences, including what’s changed and what still surprises them.

In this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail say goodbye to Palm Beach for the season. They’ll miss the sunshine, easy access to Gail’s closet, and the beach. However, they’re excited to head back to NYC for spring, where they’ll celebrate back-to-back birthdays, see their friends, and eat at their favorite restaurants.

In The Drama Club, Kim and Grandma discuss how musical festivals have evolved since Woodstock. Where that was a social rebellion, Coachella is more of a branded event where concert-goers pay for their tickets in payment plans. Not Grandma-Approved. 

The hosts then break down the TIME article, “The Silver Lining of Dating in a Recession” in The Grandma Report. Could this be a good thing? Kim thinks so! With more budget-conscious daters, people will go on or create more creative dates, which will be more meaningful. Grandma’s tip: Go for pizza and put some money away for a rainy day. Read it here!

Catch up on Kim’s current shows in The Rewind! She just finished "Love Is Blind” and is watching “Dying For Sex” and “Your Friends and Neighbors.”

Grandma Gail’s Hotline rings next. How should a caller feel about a man she’s been on 11 dates with and isn't showing as much interest as she’d like? Grandma has thoughts. They also give their opinions on therapy. Leave a voicemail at Grandma Gail’s Voicemail, DM us on Instagram, or email [email protected] for advice!

In a game of Should We Bring It Back: Things To Do in Florida Edition, Kim and Gail vote on what deserves a comeback. They also answer a round of Ask Grandma Anything about ghosting (which Gail says always happened in the past but now there’s a name for it), favorite vacation destinations, dealing with the loss of a mother, and where to meet people in your late 30s. 

To end the episode, Kim and Grandma reflect on what they learned this season.

In this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail get comfortable. 

Always interested in fashion and vintage style, Kim and Grandma Gail break down how women’s clothing has changed over the decades. From corsets to oversized hoodies, the times have changed. But Grandma still lounges in her slacks. 

For an expert take on comfortable fashion, Excuse My Grandma welcomes Sarah Fiszel –owner of Brave Pudding, a cashmere footwear brand. (Shop Kim and Grandma’s favorite pieces here!) Sarah explains how comfort has evolved, especially due to the pandemic. She wanted to create a shoe that’s practical for busy and stylish people. Sarah and Grandma Gail bond over starting a business after raising a family; Grandma wants every woman to know they can do something and be good at something at any age! 

In The Grandma Report, they discuss the pros and cons of using AI in fashion. Their takes are shocking! Can you guess who is team tech and who is more traditional? Read about how H&M is implementing AI in place of human models here! 

Kim, Grandma, and Sarah then play a game of Should We Bring It Back: 1950s Fashion Edition. Do you agree that matching sets are here to stay? Do you want peplum to make a comeback? In the Ask Grandma Anything segment, Kim and Gail answer your questions! For the best restaurants in Florida, Grandma is your guide. For how to build close friendships, Kim shares her words of wisdom.

To finish the episode, Grandma answers the guest’s question regarding working in your 80s –which she’s LOVING.

On this week's episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail are soaking up the sun in Palm Beach. The season is coming to an end, so they’re enjoying the Florida weather as much as possible before packing up for NYC this Spring! They get into a conversation about etiquette and manners and all of the generational differences.

In The Drama Club, they discuss child stardom and the consequences in light of Drake Bell’s recent appearance on Josh Peck’s podcast, “Good Guys,” and the Quiet on Set documentary that came out in 2024. Next, Kim and Grandma Gail explore age gap relationships and tips to make them work in The Grandma Report. Read the advice here!

In Grandma Gail’s Voicemail, a listener writes in wondering how she can fix her long-term boyfriend’s table manners and politeness. Grandma has lots of opinions on the matter, and the incoming guest can offer lots of advice.

Alison Cheperdak joins the podcast to discuss all things etiquette – from leaving a party early to who should pay for the first date. The three ladies debate the biggest etiquette questions and finish with a much-needed demo on table manners (which might help this episode’s listener who wrote in!) 

To finish the episode, Grandma and Kim discuss which old-school etiquette trends should be brought back, then move on to a quick round of Ask Grandma Anything. From advice to first-time Palm Beach visitors to Grandma’s favorite memories of Kim, this AGA segment proves what we’ve always known: Grandma is always right!

On this week's episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail enjoy the last weeks of Palm Beach, Season 2025. From dressing up for dinner to honking at horrible drivers, they'll miss a lot about Florida. Once Kim and Grandma get back to New York, they have a list of new restaurants to try and social clubs to hit up including San Vicente Bungalows. 

They unpack the latest NYC influencer drama, celebrity gossip, and new couple alerts in The Drama Club. While Kim finds these lifestyle influencers entertaining, Grandma is more impressed with the elephant reserves coming up on her feed. 

In The Grandma Report, they read an article about how women over 30 met their partners. Grandma agrees going places of common interest, whether you’re 20, 30, 40, or 50, is a good way to find someone! Read about it here!

Kim and Grandma Gail give a program update in The Rewind, with Grandma watching her usual mix of Amazon shows. However, she binged a new period piece (Il Gattopardo) set in Italy on Netflix. Kim’s TV lineup includes the latest season of The White Lotus and Southern Hospitality. Who else is watching?

To finish the episode, Grandma and Kim agree that 90% of 1950s hairstyles should NOT be brought back. Grandma also answers questions in a round of Ask Grandma Anything. She gives her expert fashion advice on leggings, tells listeners where to have a ladies lunch in PB, and gives the hard yet needed truth about dealing with hardship. Listen to Grandma, she’s always right!

In this solo episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim takes the mic to reflect on the New York City she grew up in and the New York City she continues to love. From Broadway shows and school field trips to the Natural History Museum to trendy bars as a 20-something, Kim is diving into how NYC has evolved—what’s been lost, what’s changed for the better, and what she still holds onto as a New Yorker at heart. Whether you’re a lifelong New Yorker or just someone who loves the magic of the city, this episode is a nostalgic ride through the streets, stories, and spirit of Old New York.

NYC jewelry designer and influencer Stephanie Gottlieb joins Excuse My Grandma to share her thoughts on business, jewelry trends, and how to elevate the every day. Stephanie tells Kim and Grandma Gail how her obsession with rainbow back in 2013 got her noticed. While she leans more subtle now, there are still colorful nods in her pieces.

From Jackie Kennedy to Ariana Grande, Stephanie agrees this trend is here to stay. Read about it here!

The women then give some tough love to an emailer in Grandma Gail’s Hotline. Would you tell your friend she’s wasting her time with a guy who’s never going to be aligned with her goals? DM us on Instagram or email [email protected] for advice!

They then play a game of Should We Bring It Back?, all voting ‘YES’ to 1950s jewelry trends. Kim, Grandma, and Stephanie then answer all your ring and diamond questions in Ask Grandma Anything. To finish the episode, Stephanie plays the Old Fashioned Dating quiz, shocking Grandma with the results.
