Excuse My Grandma

What do you keep, what do you toss, and when does sentimental turn into clutter?

This week, Kim and Grandma Gail are talking all things closet editing, from the clothes you swear you’ll wear again to the memories you can’t quite let go of. They get into what’s actually worth saving, why some things are harder to part with than others, and how our phones may have become the new junk drawer.

Plus, Kim shares stories from the Hamptons film festival, Grandma weighs in on holding grudges, and they answer listener questions about exes, old letters, family belongings, and knowing when it’s finally time to let something go.

This week on Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail sit down with fashion designer Ramy Brook and her mom, Helene, for a conversation about reinvention, friendship, style, and the wisdom that comes with experience.

Ramy shares how she launched her brand at 42, why her friendships and community played such a major role in building her business, and what she’s learned about taking the first step before you feel completely ready. The group also gets into personal style, why we somehow always feel like we have nothing to wear, building friendships that actually last, and the difference between following trends and knowing what works for you.

Plus, plenty of generational opinions, Grandma Gail’s signature honesty, and a few stories that prove some of the best advice really does come from your mom or grandma.

This week on Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail sit down with Serena Kerrigan and her mom, Lily, for a conversation all about modern dating, confidence, relationships, and knowing when not to settle. Serena's new book, Let’s F*cking Date: Become the Prize, Enjoy the Ride, and Never Settle Again, releases September 22nd. 

Serena shares what she’s learned from building a career around dating advice, how her relationship with Felix changed her perspective on love, and why marriage should never be treated like the finish line.

How do you actually become an interesting person, and do you need a “personal brand” to know who you are? Kim and Grandma Gail compare how their generations developed a sense of self, from social media and endless choices to strong opinions, lifelong interests, and knowing when not to care what other people think. They talk confidence, hobbies, dinner party etiquette, finding clues in your childhood, and why Grandma Gail thinks having nothing to bring to the conversation makes you a boring guest. Plus, the very important debate over whether open-toed shoes belong on the streets of New York City.

Summer is officially winding down, and Kim is having a full-blown existential crisis about it—while Grandma Gail is already moving on to Halloween pumpkins, Palm Beach restaurants, and Frank Sinatra on Broadway.

In this episode, Kim and Gail break down the art of surviving family dynamics. From predicting who's going to show up late to family dinner (spoiler: it's Kim) to debating the fine line between loving family closeness and total intrusion, they get real about what it actually takes to keep a family connected across generations.

Kim and Grandma Gail are talking weddings, relationship timelines, and why every generation seems to have a very different idea of when you should move in, get engaged, get married, and start a family. From influencer weddings and social media pressure to living with a partner, comparing yourself to your friends, and Grandma’s very direct take on “wasting time,” they unpack how much you can actually plan when it comes to love. Plus, a few interruptions from cameras, leaf blowers, and an unexpected exterminator.

This week, Kim and Grandma Gail are getting into what actually makes someone attractive, and why being “hot” might matter a lot less than you think. From Love Island and first-date chemistry to money, ambition, confidence, and what really matters once the honeymoon phase wears off, they debate whether attraction can grow over time and how much lifestyle compatibility should factor into who you choose.

They also talk AI, influencers, and Grandma’s less-than-glamorous week dealing with healthcare in the Hamptons.

Heather Dubrow joins Kim and Grandma Gail for a candid conversation about family, marriage, aging, and life in the spotlight. Heather reflects on 20 seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County, raising four children on camera, maintaining a nearly 30-year marriage, and embracing new stages of parenthood as her family approaches the empty-nest years.

She also opens up about her evolving relationship with her mother, processing grief after the loss of her father, navigating beauty standards in Hollywood, and taking chances even when others question your path. Together, the three generations discuss what makes family relationships meaningful, why there is no single right timeline for life, and the importance of saying yes to opportunities that feel right.
