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.

This week, Kim and Grandma Gail bring it back to their early days of the podcast via video call. After a few hours of technical difficulties, they caught up on Kim’s birthday celebrations, the hottest things coming to Palm Beach, how it’s impossible to eat in NYC (let Kim and Gail know how to score a reservation at Chez Fifi), and fake Hermes bags. In honor of International Women’s Day, the female founders of Excuse My Grandma give advice and recognition to all the amazing women pursuing their dreams!
In the Drama Club, Kim recaps the Oscars. Grandma was in it for the fashion and red carpet, while Kim was there for the awards and the “Defying Gravity” performance (which she watches on repeat). In the Grandma Report, they discuss a recent Nature Medicine study (read the article here) about what really ages you. From loneliness to lifestyle habits, certain factors are in your control. Grandma recommends eating healthy, staying active, and enjoying life! Based on “The Kardashians,” biohacking and a vampire lifestyle might be the answer to longevity. Kim’s latest obsession in The Rewind is “The White Lotus” (on Max). She’s three episodes into Season 3, and already loving the drama. It’s a murder mystery based in Thailand –what’s not to like?!
The women answer a listener's email, who is still thinking about a kiss she had 50 years ago! Would you tell your twin sister her boyfriend “accidentally” kissed you? Grandma and Kim give their honest thoughts. Do you have family drama you need opinions on? Write to [email protected] or DM us with a voicemail!
To finish the episode, they play Should We Bring It Back: 1950s Slang Edition. Who else is calling their new crush a dreamboat instead of a smokeshow? They also answer your questions about snowbirding, fashion, and staying positive about dating in a round of Ask Grandma Anything.
