In this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma get nostalgic, heated, and opinionated. They catch up on Kim’s LA trip– which was filled with Hailey Bieber smoothies, business meetings, and beach time with Zach– and Grandma’s recent social outings. 

In the Drama Club, Kim relives her childhood. Although she wishes she went to the recent Jonas Brothers concert, listen to find out which surprise cameo was actually at her bat mitzvah! 

Is talking about your friends just stating facts and getting information, or harmful whispers? If you’re conflicted about gossiping, listen to Kim and Grandma’s breakdown on the issue. It could be better for you and your relationship than you think. Read the UC Riverside study here.

For honest advice and family banter, tune in to Ask Grandma Anything. Grandma has strong opinions about pillows, baby names, and the #1 reason for divorce.

On this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail are joined by the iconic Candace Bushnell—the woman who changed the way we talk about dating with Sex and the City . Kim and Gail catch up on their July 4th weekends (including an unplanned dinner at the same restaurant), then dive into Sex and the City nostalgia: landlines, Manolos, cosmos, and breakups via Post‑it notes.

Later, they’ll ask Candace about her striking, candid essay in The Cut—“Sex After 60 in Sag Harbor”—in which she explores the sometimes bleak, often hilarious realities of dating in your 60s: age gaps, ghosting, male entitlement, and the bittersweet liberty of loving—or not needing—to love again. Read it here: https://www.thecut.com/article/candace-bushnell-dating-after-60-hamptons-love-sex-aging.html

Stay tuned for a conversation about what’s changed—and what hasn’t—when it comes to relationships in your 60s, writing your own story, and finding connection in places like Palm Beach, Manhattan, and beyond.

In this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail are joined by a very special guest: Broadway producer Henry Tisch! Henry is the co-founder of Key to the City Productions and just celebrated a huge win at the 2025 Tony Awards for The Picture of Dorian Gray. Naturally, Kim and Grandma had a lot of questions.

They chat all about Henry’s path to producing, his time at Disney Theatrical, and what it takes to bring a hit to the stage. They also dive into what the Tony Awards are really like behind the scenes, the excitement of awards season, and the making of Dorian Gray, which has quickly become one of the buzziest shows on Broadway.
