Excuse My Grandma

This week, Kim and Grandma Gail are joined by television royalty: Chris Harrison!

After nearly two decades of guiding people through televised romance, Chris sits down with Gail and Kim to pull back the curtain on modern romance, reality TV, and life after the rose ceremonies. Chris opens up about treating his departure from The Bachelor like a divorce, why stepping back to focus on his kids and find love with his wife, Lauren, was the best decision he ever made, and how public scrutiny taught him to see past the "villain" edits in both TV and real life.

Plus, Chris gets candid about his new series The Vow, Fox Nation's legal drama with Warner Bros., and why you can’t put a cease-and-desist on finding love.

Happy Halloween, little ghouls, goblins, and kitty cats! In this episode, Kim and Grandma Gail get into the Halloween spirit (complete with animal prints, cat ears, and headband headaches) to break down all the spooky season etiquette.

From whether it’s "very immature" to demand a couples costume from your boyfriend to if you should ever date someone you met dressed as Freddy Krueger, Grandma isn't holding back her honest opinions. Plus, we discuss why adult Halloween feels like New Year's Eve 2.0, fall date ideas, age limits on sexy costumes, and why Grandma thinks Halloween should probably end in middle school.

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.

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.
