Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, no, it's a beautiful train. Train. Beautiful train. Well, these designers, you know, take a year. I don't know what this guy is doing. He definitely looks like he's at a Hamilton. Maybe it's on purpose. He's holding up a ring. Well, we're not getting that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Like, yeah. Maybe like, what's the program that we love to watch that was a series? Oh, come on. With the different girlfriends. No, no, no. Oh, my gosh. It was three seasons when they all got, each one got a different groom. Bridgerton?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
All right, Kim, give everybody the theme tonight because I can see it starting already.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
This reminds me of like an African material, which is beautifully draped. You know, this I think is quite outstanding. Yeah, it's very pretty. Very beautiful. Oh, just over a red blazer. I mean, he's made the look.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Let's see some of the jewelry.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I like this woman's jewelry, I have to say. I think it's quite fascinating.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah. Well, white and black, somehow, no matter where you go, white, black, and red, those three colors always work. Yeah. No matter what, it works on everybody. And you can sort of take that look and tone it down to just a white long jacket, and it looks great. You know, I mean, you can't wear the woman with the feathers. You're not going to take that look off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
But, you know, so much of this is how creative people can be with just the same tailoring, but they take it over the top.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, I saw. That's a rumor?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That she was covering her tummy? Probably.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You're absolutely right. I'm going to tell somebody they don't look good. That's not a good thing on the red carpet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't think if I was on the actual carpet, I would say it. See, now look how handsome he looks, just in a plain black tuxedo. Oh, now wait a minute. Oh, I don't know who it is, but this is a heck of a dress. This is a... Wow. This is a wow. This is feathers. This is sparkles.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Do I like it? Grandma Gail is going to, I don't know what she's doing there. Well, the feathers, the train is beautiful. Oh, the workmanship on the train is magnificent. See, this is the whole thing. You know, this is something that's just so... I can't see her face. I don't know who it is either. Could be Diana Ross.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yes. Is it? It's Diana Ross's daughter.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's her. That's not Tracy. That's Diana Ross. Oh, it's... You know what? She's my... She is my idol.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She looks amazing. Look at how unbelievable.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She's the same age as me. She looks... Is she? Yeah. She looks so young. Look how well... She was one of the great entertainers of my time. But look at that. See, that's a statement.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
you know, go out with a bang. I was at a party about a year or so ago where she sang. That's cool. And her voice is still... You have cool friends. Well, I think that was the last party that I had any cool friends at. But look how hard it is to get up those steps. Can you imagine us going up those steps? I can't even get out the front step of my building. So now these people are just...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, she's just in a pretty white suit, that one that they just flashed on.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And when she takes that off, she still has a gorgeous body, by the way.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, I don't think they're, I think.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think they're waiting to get on the carpet. It'll take her two hours to go up the steps.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That was definitely Diana Ross when she turned around.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I'm telling you, this is... These outfits are so... She's wearing heels, too.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Okay, she's almost to the top of the steps. Wow. That's a pretty black dress, whoever that is with the blonde hair.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah. Yeah, but how tall is she?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Look how fabulous she looks. It's like... Well, it's the bell bottoms. The jacket's got the shoulder pads. Very chic. And the man's suit, the tie, with the white shirt underneath it. She can carry it off. Totally. What's she got on the collars? Also little diamond pins? Let me wait until she turns around. Well, you notice that we're wearing two white outfits in a row, which is very interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's very chic. I love the hat. Maybe she's going to unbutton.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's a three-piece. But look at the pants. I mean, you have to really, really be tall to wear that. It's tailored really well. Oh, yeah. Well, if she can't get it perfectly tailored, who can? No, wait a minute. There's another person in white behind her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yes, but I don't think they send you up right away. So those people must be with her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
All right. It's very pretty. Very pretty. Very glamorous.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Those must all be her publicists that are walking with her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I think you get invited to go on this part than the regular people. People are paying, I have a feeling the tickets are like $50,000 to go to this thing. It's not a tremendous amount.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
But I don't know where that hat is from. Well, he's wearing some kind of hat. I don't know. It's weird.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's like a long trench coat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know. I can't quite get that. Now, who's that?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, it's relatively a new thing, a new addition to the museum the last maybe 10 years. And it was her brainchild. Do you remember the first one? Like, were you watching or? No, I think I just went over and looked at it at the museum itself.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, so if you want to go on, please watch it with us. He looks like he's wearing the same suit as she was wearing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
So it's like... That's like her dickie.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
My grandma Gail and Kim love the dickies.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She looks adorable. And what a body she has. I would so love to watch her. She's like a delight. Now, is this her boyfriend?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, she got married? They didn't invite me to the wedding. When did she get married? Good question. Let's look it up. I didn't realize she got married. I knew she had a fiance, but I didn't realize she... April 2023. Oh, well, she's been married for three years.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, he's awfully good looking and she's a, what a couple. Can you imagine the athletic prowess that their children all have? So true. My gosh. I think his name's Jonathan Owens. I have no idea, but he's very handsome. I think she had a baby, by the way. Oh, I can't keep up. Nobody is telling me these things. When did she have a baby?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, I think she might have had a baby when she retired for a year or so. Yeah. Yeah, I think when she... I think. You might be right. Wait, is that true? Well, let's not spread any rumors. So if we don't know definitely... Oh, maybe not.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, she didn't have a baby.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
This is very pretty. This looks like Chanel. This is definitely Chanel couture. And I love the hat. The hat is like a nod to Melania's hat from the inauguration.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
From the 40s, during the war, I guess. This is a Chanel pin. It's beautiful. What's underneath the long, see again, the long skirt, the long train, and I think it might be pants underneath it, actually. But Chanel always does the right thing. You've got the pearls, you've got the chameleon, you know. I mean, it has to be, right?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, I don't think I ever watched it on TV.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
We don't have to look it up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know who, the yellow and white.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
We're getting a commercial. So what do we think so far of the guests? What's our opinion from all of you out there?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, in the beginning, I think it did. I don't get Diana Ross's thing. Wasn't she wearing... She was wearing the long white cape. Yeah, that's part of the theme.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
We're getting somebody now in the most gorgeous... That's cool. This is gorgeous. See, this is what I thought everything was going to look like.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Because this is really all beaded, all, you know, with the big shoulder pads, which was very reminiscent of the 40s and the 50s. And in the men in Harlem, you know, that really were the dandies.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And the Carlisle and that whole 78th Street. It's a mess in the city right now. Between the rain and the crowds coming here, they've been coming in the last couple of days. And, you know, they really, the paparazzi are out there. I don't even know who half the people are, but they're certainly taking a lot of pictures.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Only he's taken it to the next level because it's all beaded and crusted. Right. And I think he's got a cane as well.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, some of them look like royal.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
All right. I don't know. We see a bunch of people. Oh, we just missed something. Look at the necklaces on some of these. And the accessories are fabulous. Yeah. And this is just, I don't know who this is, but she's quite beautiful. Oh, now this is your sailor hat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, I think this would not be of choice. And she's probably, oh, there's Diana Ross without the cape. They're interviewing her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, no, no, she took it off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
They're laughing about it. They're laughing. And she's so hot. She can't look. She's perspiring, the poor woman. That cape must have weighed 400 pounds.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think her daughter is coming because I saw something in one of the papers. Probably.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And that cape had to weigh an awful lot.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
The hat is really cool. She's cool.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
let's face it diana ross is cool and it's so funny for those who remember and probably most of you don't she performed in central park on a night like tonight where it was raining and they had to stop it and they had to start and she kept singing she sang through the rain and it was one of the great uh free performances in central park many years ago now do we think that her daughter is going to do something similar different like do you think their stylists talk
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I'm sure they talk, but I don't know if they're going to. I would doubt they would do something the same. I don't think the daughter's going to take away from the mom.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think it looks better without the light.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Either way, we'll see if it goes off again. Okay. We'll look at Simone again. Oh, look at her train. We didn't notice that when she was on the red carpet. Yeah. Simone Biles. That's cute.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, it was one of the greatest concerts. One of the great nights of New York. We used to have all those free concerts, which we still have. But, you know, because of security and so many other issues now, they have less of them. But unfortunately, because they were made the quality of life so terrific in the city.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Here she's trying to figure out how to get her up the aisle. But hers doesn't look as heavy. Simone's looks like it'll be fine.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think you can leave the light off. Don't get upset with it. It's probably getting overheated.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
um, All right, here comes another one with a little bit of a train.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, that's new. Oh, here's the one I liked, the Chanel one.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, definitely, definitely love it. I mean, not for me, but for some young, gorgeous girl, I think it's divine, and she looks beautiful in it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I like the little shirt reference. You see that underneath the thing? It makes it look like a little collar.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And then I think it's pants, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't think the celebrities do it. I think the designers or their stylists come with suggestions.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Now we're getting suiting in the next one, the picture that's there. See, that's the typical, like you were talking about, Kim, the pinstripe with the pin. Right. This pin is a feather pin, which is beautiful. And the necktie, the little skinny necktie, which was very 40s. I don't know why that went off. I like that. Now, this is very the sweater. Two black and white sweaters. Look very Missoni.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know who they are.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, here's a coat again. Oh, that's a coat. This must be a Japanese-inspired.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
But the thing is with the podcast, how are they going to see it?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, now we're getting another white. I think this is a gentleman. I can't wait. Yeah. No. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, who was the gold dress by, I wonder? Does it say? Because I can't read that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, they're probably diamond. They're not silver. Oh. I'm guaranteed some jeweler gave her the long diamonds. I can't see who that is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Jimmy, I wasn't there in the late 40s. I was in a diaper. But I'm sure, you know, a lot of these must be.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Look at this, how pretty this is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I don't think she's risky. I think that's something somebody could wear. I actually think it's quite beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know. No, I think just like... I think she's off. I don't think she's really got the theme. How do you like that? I think she's like expressing something. I don't know what she's expressing. It's very pretty, but I'm not. It's glamorous. It's glamorous.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, but she got wet. She was wearing her raincoat. Oh, look at his. Oh, look at the bib.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
This is a bandeau and a bottom. See, this is very much like a Vogue costume. Like a couple of Vogue. But I think she's also naked. I think that's just strictly covering the bust.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Not the back. It's backless.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, you have to wear it with the jacket. Oh, look at this beautiful jacket.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And she's wearing the pants. That's actually quite... That's really... Well, that I can see. I'd wear that, actually.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think green has taken over.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's very... Well, they're all tiny. This suit thing, I'm not quite getting yet. But maybe when she puts the jacket on... Yeah, it's completely nothing in the back. I think it's cool. Well, it is cool. I mean, you know, it is cool.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yes. And that's fashion that it's suiting. You know, it's a suit, but yet it's an inversion that you'd never imagine a suit to look like. Well, here now, this is three gentlemen. One is wearing the... I'm telling you, one goes back to... The 1800s. Then a lot of long coats. A lot of long coats over the jackets.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, that's the suit suitor look again.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Again, the brooch. Brooch is, I'm telling you, we've got to go to the flea market, Kim. That's going to be on 6th Avenue and go over and see what they've got. All the costume jewelry that we can take out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, I mean, maybe he's a royal traveler.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And what's his claim to musician?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, this looks like a royal theme. the couple coming up now. And I gather they're together. He's in a beautiful long white tails and she's in a black and white long dress, which is quite elegant. And again, with this very long white train in the back. But this fellow looks very handsome, very dapper.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And look at his vest is all, vest is all diamonds. Yeah. For those who can't, I have to lean forward to see it, but it's all encrusted.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Black and white seems to have won the day so far. Oh, we were saying that. Now there's a crimson dress, which is very pretty. I happen to like that neckline. I don't know what the bottom is. That's almost Bridgerton-y also. I think a lot of this looks like Bridgerton.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I think some of them were ugly. There was a white outfit that was sort of futuristic that I thought could have, I've seen a lot better. It's not that they're ugly. I think some of them try too hard.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That's my problem with these things. But then like you don't want to underdo it and like nobody's talking about you. Well, that's the whole thing. Are they doing it because it's beautiful or that it's cutting edge or that it's the theme or is it just to be talked about?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Now, what are they doing now?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
He's got the walking stick. It's not called a cane. It's a walking stick.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, and Kev Calloway used to do it all the time, and he used to tap with it on during his dance routines.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
So he used to tap, then catch it. I mean, it was a whole deal.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I can honestly say I think they're a little too hip for me. Yeah. I need somebody conservative. The night is young. Maybe somebody more conservative will walk in. What do you mean? Well, just in a regular nice suit that I don't have, that I can feel like we're not in showbiz. I don't think it's going to happen tonight.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I definitely think the trains seem to be very big this year. Now, who is this?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, well, his shirt goes with his hat. He's got a look. And it goes with the bag. Maybe he's a traveler. Maybe he's a traveler going through time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Everything goes. I think, I'm telling you, he's traveling through time. Grandma could describe that whole thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
He's going through time. Oh. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
So now look how pretty she looks. She's not wearing a men's. She's looking wearing a beautiful blue coat. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't think anybody in Puerto Rico is wearing that hat. It's 100 degrees there all the time. It's hot there all year round. I don't think he's... I don't know. Maybe it's when somebody from Puerto Rico came to New York. Maybe they wore this outfit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't think too many people wear that hat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
The hat. I can't see. I can't see it. It looks like...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's like straw. It's like basket weave. Oh, you're right. So maybe it's to keep the sun out. You know what? There's a story here. There's a story here that we're not getting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Right. Well, he probably is and we're not listening. Maybe. See, now this is tailored. The next outfit, this gentleman. Who is that? Tyler Perry?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, he looks... Grandma knows someone.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I love his movies. I would go on his arm. See, but he's also wearing the long cape. Let's wait a second because we want to be... Okay, you're still on this.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know what I'm thinking, to tell you the truth. Who's this handsome devil? Showing the guy with the black jacket.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
A lot of... No, he's wearing a... I think it's an umbrella. No, it's not an umbrella. No, I think it is. He's got a walking stick.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, this is now, here's the suiting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I feel like you would just be like... These guys, they're all wearing sunglasses. Anybody who knows they're in New York now, you don't need sunglasses. You need windshield wipers on your eyes. It's raining so hard. From the cameras, the light of the cameras. Oh, maybe. Now, who is this?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I have to tell you, I wouldn't pay $50,000 to go up on those.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
They should have a little faster movement. They've got a million people online waiting to go in there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You think each person goes in the room and talks to them? Wait, guys, this is exciting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Let's see what she's wearing. A white shirt, which I love.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Like, I wear that. Yes. And it's all slipped up the back. It's perfect. But what is the reference to this?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think they're all doing- Maybe a good plastic surgeon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think that basically the cosmetic surgeons are very busy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I like her hair pulled back. She's very pretty.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Ah, no wonder. We like her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And I think I wore a white shirt.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Why don't she walk up the carpet? She's already upstairs.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, look at this one. Who is that? The top is beautiful. The lace top is beautiful. The buttons are beautiful. And she's basically wearing just nothing on the bottom. She's wearing underwear.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, you're going to see in a minute.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, they didn't even take a shot of her going up the stairs because there was a... Are you not talking about this? No.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I mean, it was created with a man in mind. I mean, how they're going to adapt it to women is going to be interesting. But I think it really was based on men.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Big cape. Big cape is a theme. Big cape is a theme. Beaded sleeves, which are beautiful. And she's not wearing a big necklace, you see. That's good because she's got... Oh, she is too?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, the chains of diamonds. Very pretty. Here goes again with that long thing where we need six or eight people. It looks like scary a little, but like pretty. I don't know. But I don't get this as suiting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I don't know the person, so I don't want her to take it personally. By the way, I think Rihanna might be... See, she just took it off. So interesting. Because they can't walk up that stair. Or just they want the opportunity to show too low. They just wear it to come in and then that's it because it's very difficult.
Excuse My Grandma

But a short jacket and like a beret type of hat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, they are hanging. You are hanging out with us. We're sort of got a million screens here. You should see the setup. We've got a camera here. We've got a camera there. We've got an iPod over here. Not an iPod. iPad. iPad. My iPad.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
This is an Apple commercial. And It's not so easy. Kimmy was terrific. And our little mics. We've got little mics on our lapel, which I hope you can hear perfectly with. The only failure we had was the light. The light burnt out. I don't think those lights last more than maybe 50. I think they get too hot and they turn off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
All right. We don't need it. Everybody can see us.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I think they're just talking now. I think the museum offers so many things for people to come in to see. The Children's Museum at the Met, the Old Wing, the Sculpture Gardens. There are so many wonderful things. The Pyramid, the Temple of Dender. So for those who don't live in New York,
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You could probably look at the different collections online that they have and just visit the museum through your video because it is beautiful. There's so many different parts. Each time, every month, they try different shows. And it takes years in preparation to do these things. So it's very exciting. It's really, I'm privileged because I live very close and I try to go often to the museum.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And there's never the same show. There's always a standard, they're a permanent collection, but they always have a rotating shows at the museum, as all the museums do. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, I'm telling you, I think Bridgerton had a very big... I'm not getting Bridgerton from that. You're not? Well, let me look at it again. With her fitted waist and the full skirt. The very 1800s. I don't know. It looks like Jane Austen did all these outfits.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I'm sure all the people love that. I still haven't seen it. Well, this is now a long coat. He's wearing a long caftan. Now, she's wearing a long skirt. Look at this outfit, Kim. That's the one. All right, what's Walton doing? Three different tiers. He's got a long black coat. He's going to show it to you. A long skirt.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's not a suit. He's showing you a twirl skirt. It's like a pleated long skirt. Also, I love how he's being fun on the carpet. That's what makes the show.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
We have a lot of thoughts and we want your thoughts. So you'll have to feed it back into our, with us too and say whatever comments you want.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, he's showing a New York hat, which is good for him. Back to Walton. Right. Well, they like his outfit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Do you think anybody ever is going to buy that and will never get into the stores?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't think Walmart is ever going to buy that outfit. I don't know. Is that his wife, Spike Lee's wife? I guess. Who is his? I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
He's having the best time, this guy. They're trying to get him off the runway. Somebody, they're trying to move him along.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Whoever it is is very tall. Again, with a long white thing. Oh, this is too many white capes. And she's, oh, and look underneath. Okay. Who is that?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Don't look at me. I have no idea who that is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
When really we didn't have black men being represented, so he was really a first.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Except nobody looks like Marilyn Monroe.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That sort of looks like a Cleopatra look.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No. I feel like it doesn't go. Well, I think they haven't quite got her breasts in the dress. That could be on purpose. I'm sure it's on purpose. But I feel like at any given moment, walking up the stairs, one of them is going to come out. We're going to see a little too much of something. And wouldn't that be good TV?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, that's the issue. Now you've got a lot of these long white coats.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And once Diana Ross walked up with the first one, it's almost... And I'm so glad she had that first moment. Well, I'm sure they did it on purpose.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She's wearing, like, shorts with a long white jacket, like, with tails and boots. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And you know what? And she's fun looking. She's cute. And it looks cute on her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, that's the look of all over the world. So that's what the whole thing references. I think we're seeing a lot of things that were created. Oh, wait a minute. They're just showing her look from the Grammys.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's just underwear. It's kind of her vibe. But I saw there was somebody else that went on with a look like that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't really know. I'm not quite sure how they're going to go do this. But I'm sure it'll be all very creative. As always, the Met things are. None of these, most of these things that you're going to see tonight, you never can wear. It's art. It's really a form of art. That's really what it is. And some of them are going to be fabulous. And most of them are done by the very famous designers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She's wearing a Louis Vuitton, the trunk bag. Oh, yeah. See, the woman's holding it for her. That's a very cool bag. And she has the same white collar detail. Which refers back to the suiting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
What is that? That's sort of fun. I like it. This looks like something I wore in the 50s. Oh, she's not getting much press on that. But again, a long white. See, that's where the, I feel.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Now here's a lot of backless dresses too. Backless.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think the younger ones, like Simone and like this girl, some of the younger ones are keeping it quiet. They're not going as over the top. Because they know what looks, first of all, if you're short, they know what looks good on them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't think she was wearing something earlier.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, well, that is quite a difference. Well, maybe when she's working.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She's wearing a long black dress.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Right. But you know what? If she's working, if she's working, it's hard. Now, who is this? Nobody. And who is that? Oh, in a mustard colored suit. See, this is more of what I thought was going to be on. More of men in tailored suits that are funky looking. Because that's really what it was.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It was a takeoff on the styles of traditional men's suits that men in Harlem made much more extravagant and added color that was really more of their feelings.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Expressing their own emotions and feelings. So it was much more alive looking than the standard man who went to work in a black suit or a navy suit. Now I don't know who this is. Ashley Graham. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She looks nice. She's not in a suiting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Again with the long train. I'm kind of bored.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She wants to go to the Met Gala.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She's in Louis Vuitton, obviously. Body suits. Not bathing suits. They're body suits.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You know what? I didn't have the right wording. They're body suits. They're dressed up body suits. Yeah, with no pants. Exactly. And really high shoes. Right. They look like they belong at Radio City Music Hall, like part of the Rockettes. You know, this is very, very much that kind of look. Even with the white collar. Yeah. I don't know how fashionable it is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, no. This top is very interesting, the structured top.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah. She knows what she's doing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Is that Miley Cyrus? Yep. Doesn't look the same. Now, is she attached to the gentleman? No. I think they are. I think their capes are attached. Well, let's see. Wait a minute.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's an awful lot of stuff. I like a slick back. She doesn't look the way I remember her looking. It's so interesting. She's had different eras, for sure. But this is very much... what I would imagine they would be wearing. Yes. Is it two on the nose? No, I think this is fabulous. Yeah, that's fabulous. You know, for the night, for the costume, I mean, for the theme of the evening.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
This is just a very pretty outfit. And he's wearing Bermudas. Yeah. With a tux type of long tail jacket. She's boring. I don't know who that is. I don't know. She looks very pretty. Well, you know what? You know, it's hard to... No, I think she looks quite glorious, actually. She's a very pretty woman. Oh, look at this outfit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I'm wearing one. You told me that's the theme, and I went into the drawer, I found an old spider, actually in Armani, which from about 20 years ago, and it's quite beautiful, actually. I think that's become very in vogue, and it started with men wearing them, and now everybody's sort of putting them on their lapels. Great looking. And I think the more, the merrier.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know. I'm really not sure. It's quite interesting with a leather outer coat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I'm still not the other one with the hat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Especially when you're doing interviews, maybe it's too much.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Right. Exactly, Kim. She has a similar hair comb to Simone Biles. So I don't know who did that little girl in the front. It almost looks like Betty Boo.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, but that's because that was a period of time when they wore their hair like that in the 40s. Probably, yeah. People had that little curl.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That's a gorgeous, gorgeous beaded top. She can really do no wrong. Well, she has the most beautiful figure in fashion sense of really anybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, it's back with the train. Oh, and she also is wearing a very short, I don't know if it's just short or this is also a bodysuit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I wonder if this is Armani. I wonder who this is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Tiny short black boots. Black boots.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's hard to see these things. You know, after a while, they all seem to blend in. I mean, you begin... You get jaded. And...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That's what the- Oh yeah, a bunch of different ones. Yeah, a bunch of them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
They're not very great, Kim. I don't think we should dwell on our outfits because they're not too terrific.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Mom doesn't like it. I actually think it looks very chic, especially if you're wearing a very intricate outfit. Yeah. Because then it's too much between hair and the thing. Something has to be simple. Totally. Now let's, who are those people on the staircase? There are a whole group of people there taking photos.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Now this, I'm telling you, this is out of Bridgerton.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, burgundy is very big. The color of It was very big for the spring, which is unusual. It's usually a very big fall color. A lot of burgundy accessories. That hat is right out of Bridgerton. And look at the waists. I mean, is that a normal waist on somebody, really?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
He kept himself traditional. He's got to keep himself true to himself.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, it sort of looks out of place for the night.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah. No, I love it. But it's not like, again, with the brooch on the lapel.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh. Is that what it's called? Yeah, that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Now, see here, this is red and black, which is sort of pretty. I don't know who these people are.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, it's just, that was just, I think, like you're saying, it was an actual prop.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That's an accessory. He's really a beautiful man.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, he's in a red and black, well, whoever that was, they got cut him off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Which is really what the look was that they were trying to show, the dandy look. Like this, you wouldn't have gone to work in the 50s, 60s, and 70s in those suits if you worked on Wall Street or if you went to an advertising company. This is strictly a made-up look that they would wear to go out in Harlem.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's really an overdress. It's an excitement. It's men dressing up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, look at his platform shoes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I certainly would need two canes. Those shoes. I defy these people to walk in those shoes. I don't know how they do it. But they're all talking about the shoes. It's impossible.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yes, there are loads of people do when they eat the hot dogs from the stands outside. Absolutely. Absolutely. And now they have the water fountains and people can sit around the water fountains. Yeah. I think the Koch family donated all the water fountains recently and it's such a beautiful thing because for a while they lay dormant and they didn't work. Now they all work and it's beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You have to really take a tour of New York, everybody. You've got to come into the city, go to MoMA, go to the Whitney, which you and I did in the meatpacking last week. You take a little museum trip.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And there'll be lines. It's always big lines. Remember the one that was a show recently they did a couple of years ago that I think I had to go back two or three times till I got it. Even, you know, it's even early in the morning. It's very hard because people love to come to see this.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You loved it, so you can talk about it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh. Well, you know, they have to exaggerate it to make it fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Because we're on all the time, everybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You're going to have to point that out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Grandma couldn't go because all I have is a white shirt. I could wear a white shirt with a beaded skirt.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, I think I would have, well, one of my favorite designers is probably Chanel. And I love Pierre Cardin from Paris. But I don't think I'm going to go to this at all. So we don't have to worry about it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think it's a great experience. Everybody should do it. They can all do it. You don't have to... There's so many different places to live in the city and in the outer boroughs. You can live in Jersey City. You can live in Brooklyn. You can live in Staten Island. There's all mass transit and... And it's a wonderful place for when you really want to experience life. There's so much to do here.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You might not want to stay here when you have a family or later on, you might want to move someplace else. But as a start, I think it's a wonderful experience for young people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think the only, well, the only two that I, maybe three. I think Marilyn Monroe, definitely, because she always, she was more glamorous than all these people put together. She would just walk out and she would be a showstopper.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
He's not feeling well. I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't have backed out on purpose.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And she's cool. That's Diana Ross's daughter. And she's cool. I mean, look at it. You know, they just have a style, these women in this family. It's terrific. Yeah. The big hat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Big, like, I don't know what those pants are because she's not heavy. So it's, they make them look like that. And then she's got a balloon bow in the back. It's just cool. That's almost Marilyn Monroe, actually, the big bow. Well, that from A Gentleman Preferred Blondes. Remember when they came out of that? Yeah, that's right. So I think it would be Marilyn Monroe.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
My second would be Elizabeth Taylor, who was equally gorgeous and magnificent in whatever she wore and whatever stock, whatever period. Because we, unfortunately, Marilyn Monroe, we only had till she was in her early 30s and then she died. But Elizabeth Taylor, all different stages of her life from when she began in... in when she was 14 or 15 as a great actress and then stayed till her very end.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, there's the reference to dandyism with the chain. You know, this was very much at the 40s and 50s, the zoot suiters. We used to call them zoot suiters.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
So she was wonderful. And then I think maybe Audrey Hepburn. Those were the iconic figures of my time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Totally. She totally does. And she deserves it. She deserves it. She's one of our great talents. Look at this beautiful necklace, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
A lot of necklaces. Where do you even get something like that? Well, you get it, but where do you wear it? I mean, I'd like to know where you wear this. I guess really just galas. Just if you're going to this Met Gala. Right. Again, with a very short skirt in the front, or short, and then these long trains. Mm-hmm. So it's really staging. It's really staging for the steps, to go up on the steps.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, yeah, she's wearing the same black shoe. It's actually very beautiful. Very pretty.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
This, I'm telling you, looks just like one of Pride and Prejudice. And look, these are very much like the costumes that come out of the movies of this period. I think a lot of the designers go back and they look at period pieces of the time and then they adapt it to the star or who they're dressing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, now he's wearing exactly what I thought was going to be the style of the night because he's wearing like a zoot suit outfit. But he's wearing a modern day, I don't know, the thing from the thing covering his head, which people wore in the 70s and 80s. Um...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She's not wearing a puffer.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That just looks like Montclair or something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, I don't, but I would like it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know what she's wearing. No, I don't. Is that Chanel? I don't think so.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh my gosh. He's the heartthrob of every young person now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Please shout things out to us because for Grandma Gail, there's nobody here that I know. Somebody asked how it's living in New York City right now with the Met. Well, it's it's not easy. It's not easy. And as soon as tomorrow or they'll take all those tents down, it'll be very perfect because they've got some wonderful shows, which I went to last week. They're right now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And he's in a yellow shirt.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think he's very highly styled. I mean, I like the way, I mean, he's captured the moment.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Like, is it weird? I don't think he typically looks like this, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I don't think the whole thing is his vibe, but I think he looks very cool. He's done a very dapper look. Yeah. And I like the little.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know. She's smart. At least she's comfortable.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Were they in the show together? I feel like they don't look good together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
This is a costume. We saw something else that was structural like that. Yeah, the white outfit that I didn't like, but I do like this. Why? I just think that black and white frames are, and I think it's just great looking. I mean, she's going to take that. Is that to me?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, I didn't see who that was. But she's also got the long, long train. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, they can't walk up. It's terrible to walk up. They can't walk up the stairs, these poor people. I feel sorry for them, actually. I don't. I do. Look at that cute little girl in the black dress. That's perfect.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't like anything about it. I hate the colors.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't like the outfits at all. And you know what? He's not tall enough or he's not something enough to carry it off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
The Sargent show just opened at the museum and it's fabulous. But it's very difficult the last couple of days here because they're all setting it up for this gala. And of course, now it's all blocked off. You cannot go down Fifth Avenue from, I think, about 84th down to, I don't know, maybe 78th.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, some of the other guys could carry it off with the wide lapels.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, Betty Boop, see, it's the same hair on the thing. Oh, yeah, and his hair, right. Betty Boop is here. I like the glam. I mean, that's on Broadway now. And so the influence is definitely there from the 50s.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
The... I don't like the print.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know. I don't love it either. Or something. He's trying... This, to me, he's trying a little too hard.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, this is something, Kim, I could see in you, that top.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I like it. She's beautiful. Look how beautiful she looks. What is she showing the jewelry?
Excuse My Grandma

Where do you see lavender? It's yellow.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Really? But I don't know. This is too tricky.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I actually think it's very, very pretty. Now that I'm looking at it. And I like the lace top. It's a reveal, but you don't see. That's fair. I thought that was a pretty look.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I mean, I don't know who he is, but I'm in love. I know. That's Jeremy Pope. And he's got the belly boob hair also.
Excuse My Grandma

Well, we're certainly seeing his arms, which are magnificent.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And... He grew up in Harlem.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
How old do you think he is? I don't know. Late 20s? Probably. He's a young, handsome devil. I'd have to Google it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know any of these people, so you can join me. Sure, Grandma Gale. I don't know one person. After Diana Ross, it was over for me. Well, that's why I'm here to tell you. I know that. That's why I need you. Who is this tall person with the gray hair? I should know him.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
So it's all, and they have, the real distraction are the stars that are coming because they bring along with them the SUVs and the paparazzi and all that kind of stuff. So you've got everybody looking at these people.
Excuse My Grandma

Thank you, guys. Why couldn't I find that? Look how tall he is on the red carpet. He's tall. He is very tall. Well, I don't know, but he's a dandy. See, he's looking like a dandy, and this guy looks like a dandy. Mm-hmm.

Well, he didn't do her dress.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, I still don't love it. It didn't cover her enough. I mean, I like a décolleté, but this is pushing it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know how many people are going to walk out looking like that at all times.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It is glamorous. It's very, very glamorous. It's very Hollywood. Right. Or Vegas. No, I shouldn't even say it's Vegas. It's Las Vegas. It's like if you're coming out on a stage in Vegas, I could see that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And she would be fabulous.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I mean, they're all beautiful women, so it's pretty hard not to look beautiful. Now, this gentleman is wearing a very interesting beaded top. Yeah, that's cool.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, that is cool. I don't know what it refers back to, but it must have some kind of significance with the little short bolero jacket.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It sort of reminds me of Michael Jackson.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know. Or like a sarong. Almost like he was wearing a sarong, but it's done out of beads.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's kind of interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Who's that handsome devil? Patrick Schwarzenegger again. Oh, no wonder. I liked him the first time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I like young, handsome guys.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Doesn't matter. As long as they're showing me some arms and some good bodies, I like them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, he has turquoise teeth? Maybe. We'll have to see. He must have put caps on.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No. I think it's, again, almost looks... To me, this looks like a feminine look. I don't love that. I kind of like the bag situation. Well, a lot of bags will like that with the hand in it. I'm sure that's about $10,000, $20,000, that pig that he's carrying. Forget it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, they all are very skinny, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
They all are skinny. They all are too skinny, actually. I didn't recognize her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
But he's definitely the prettier of the two.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Now that I'm really looking at it. She's not wearing any suiting. She's wearing a beautiful... But it's bold. It's over the top. Well, it's beautiful. It's a blue coat because it's quite chilly right now in New York.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know. I don't think you can walk around in a bodysuit in too many places.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, that's the look. But I don't think you should wear that. I think I could. That's good for Halloween.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Mark Jacobs? I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know. I can't read, sweetheart. So I have no idea who did this design.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think I need different glasses.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think grandma's going to come to an end soon. Because they have to go in for dinner. Or they go in for cocktails. Oh, look at this pretty outfit. I like this. See, some of them I really think are quite beautiful. But those are not the ones they're going to show.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She's wearing a... I don't know. Does she follow the theme? That's a suit. That's a suit jacket. Well, she's wearing a, she's wearing, definitely wearing a pin. So I think everybody out there, get your pins out, get your grandmother or your mother to give you her, their costume jewelry and start putting it on your clothes. They're both wearing Virgil, by the way, Virgil Abloh. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I'm going home and having cold cereal.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Because my husband probably ate already. You don't think he ordered something for you? He might have, but I really told him not to, so I hope he didn't, because I'm... Watching this, I better not eat for the next two weeks because everybody is so thin I can't stand it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, maybe they're not coming.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know if I can make it, guys.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, there's so much traffic on Fifth Avenue. They probably can't get around. It's so hard to get around the rocks. But guaranteed, they've got black SUVs pulling them into the tent area. For sure, of course. Oh, look at this guy. He's got a lot of pins.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, and that was very big, pocket watches that you wore. Yeah, really cool.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, this is such a pretty dress.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Look at how pretty she looks. Yeah. And that's not an easy thing to put on. Why? To get backless. No bra in the front. So you have to be very tiny in your chest area. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Now, wait a minute. This looks like the cast of Wicked.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, that's Tommy Hilfiger and his wife. If they're over 70, I trust you to know. Tommy Hilfiger and his wife, and he's also wearing the pins on his lapel. I'm telling you, Kimberly, the first thing we do Saturday, this weekend, we're going to the flea market and buying all that stuff. You have it. Yeah, I have some, but this is lots of little things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I love this. I love the dress that she's wearing, Anna's wearing. Yeah. And she always wears her own jewelry and always is quite color coordinated naturally with the outfits.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think my mother had some of this, and I think I threw them out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, because I see them often in Florida.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
um oh i wish you don't see too many ralph lauren's walking up the uh and by the way um he's probably the most classic of all of them so i'm surprised he isn't doing something here i'm not that surprised i don't know um wouldn't it be so fun to be there no i'm glad i'm not there
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Are you asking me, sweetheart? Who else am I sitting with? I don't think you're talking to these people. I don't think I want to be there for anything. I like sitting in my house doing just what we're doing, commenting and forgetting about it. I'd like to be on the carpet. Who is this that she's interviewing?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, she wrote the book. So this is a star of the evening, or one of them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
that it would have carried her to this point.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Her career is made. Yeah. These costumes, many of which will be in the Met forever. And, you know, inspired by her work. So that's pretty fabulous. Totally. Oh, Kim, I'm telling you, one brooch.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah. Well, you know what? I guess men are stealing the show now. I mean, really, in many things, women's clothes are taking a... You know, Armani did this 40 years ago where he put women in men's suits and... And they look beautifully tailored and they were neat. And it wasn't necessarily a look that was meant to go to the office.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. With the co-chairs.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
If there's anything good on Netflix, please tell us. Put it on anything new that you've watched, because I'm running out of stuff to watch. See, I think that they could move this a little faster. Like walk up faster? Yeah. I mean, you know, they seem to be slowing. We've just seen these people. They keep showing the same group again. They evidently like this trio.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, I'm sure they're not watching the stream. They'll see four pictures in the paper tomorrow.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, I guess it was owned by a public company and they wanted to go in a different direction. You know, because, well, we're getting another. See, these to me are very, it's interesting. I find some of these outfits very Latin inspired rather than black inspired. So maybe I'm missing some of it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, it blocked away in the rain. It's been a mess over on Fifth Avenue. You know, they blocked off Fifth Avenue for the last two days. It's been with all the trucks and the equipment and all the tents. So it's a happening here in the city.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And everybody has to go look in their closets and their grandma's and their mom's closet for the lapel pins. Inspiration. Inspiration pins. From tonight's show. Well, nobody's wearing a long train. So that inspiration is getting lost in the next hour and a half after this show is off. But I think definitely everybody can wear a little pin either on a sweater or on a dress or embellishments.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Actually, we were doing something for a sneaker company and they had embellishments all over it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It was meant to go wherever you were going because it was very chic. And he's still doing it. And many of the younger designers are copying him or copying others or being creative themselves. So...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, but it's very interesting. Everybody is putting a little bit of something on their different attire.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Exactly. And then you can take it off and wear it a different way. I'm like... A lot of red shoes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Because I'm telling you, the cane was very Cab Calloway. Yeah. For people who want to go back and look at dancing, one of the great dancers of, you know, tap dancers of the time was Cab Calloway. And he would dance with his group and he would tap the cane and catch the cane. So that was, you know, part of his entertainment. And that look was carried on by many people in Hollywood.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Harlem and other black areas that wanted to emulate Camp Calloway.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
They think you were a big dandy, which is what they want them to show.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
But why? Who is this? I don't know. Well, how do we know? He's got a mask on. But it looks like, or an Olympic player, something. Yeah, Formula One. What does it say? I don't know. It has like... Oh, maybe it is. Maybe he is a driver.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's like wearing your uniform to the carpet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I have a feeling he's not one of the race drivers. I think he's just wearing it because he loves it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Maybe he's going into outer space. Oh, wait a minute. He's going to take the jacket off, Kim. One, two, three. Here we go.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
They're going to pull it off. Yay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Cool. All right. He stole the show. Take your helmet off. Tell us who you are. What young, handsome guy are you?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, but he really epitomizes the style of the time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
He's the dandy style. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Down to his bell-bottom pants, which were very much the 70s.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, I don't know. Is there a purpose to that?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, so that's your answer.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, you can't know all these actors, Kim. I could. This is father, son, and mother? Or father, son, and daughter? Is that Stevie Wonder? Yeah. Ah! How much do I love him? He looks great. Totally. I mean, he really looks good. And they all kind of coordinate. I don't think those are his children. I think it's just his helpers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yes, I think, you know, when I was a young person, or even when we were in our 50s and 60s, men wore beautifully tailored suits. You know, there were always people in the entertainment business or in the music business that were a little outlandish in their outfits. But most men wore ties and jackets to their office, no matter where they went to work.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Because he's, you know, he's blind.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, I just wanted to tell you that. Now I want to go, because I wonder if he, see, if this talent would play the piano and sing, what a night that would be.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
But I don't think it came from this movement. I think Dapper Dan just came from it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
But people used to be called Dapper Dan.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
But they called him Dapper Dan? Okay. He's in the white tail jacket with... Now, that looks like Vuitton also, Kim, but I can't see the writing on that jacket.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, that's... I don't see... Is that MC? I can't read it, but it's on his hat as well. And he's wearing spats. That used to be the white shoes with the black thing with the little high thing. That was cool. He is cool. He is cool. If you walked down the street with him, somebody would arrest you and say, where the heck are you going? What? What do you mean?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Can you imagine walking, seriously, any place with an outfit like this? Well, you know, he's 80. He is? Yeah. He looks fabulous. What's he eating? But, like, he's a fashion designer. Well, for 80 years old, he looks fabulous. I never saw his clothes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
No, he's probably wearing his own design. Don't you think? I have no idea. This is a red something. Too much chest. See, that is chest sticking out. Oh, yeah, you're right. Unless it's cool. I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I'm so sick of these trains.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Are you sure that What's-Her-Name isn't there already?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Now I would say fashion has completely become more casual. I don't think men even have ties anymore. Maybe they have one that they save for a special occasion. But, you know, everything has become much more casual. Don't you think, Kim?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That dress is getting better and better now that I'm watching her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She looks very pretty in the top. I like it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
They're all showing the jewelry off. I don't know how these jewelry designers lend it to them for them to wear on the thing. The security must be unbelievable at the museum because it's millions and millions of dollars. This is a perfect heist for a great jewel heist movie.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, nobody that's watching us is going to go rob these people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Correct. But after a while, it's not fast enough.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, we liked both of them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And Simone had a great train.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I like this guy's jacket. I would wear that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think I have that. I really like it a lot. Very chic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, it's not that they get invited.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, the stars get invited, but you could pay. If you buy a ticket, you could go.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And she's painfully thin. Yes. She's almost, that's almost, she's too old to wear this dress. How do you like that? Oh, wow. Yeah, I don't like that back on her. See, that's, that I'm surprised.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
From the front, she looks great. From the back, she doesn't. And I'm surprised her stylist doesn't drape some kind of, something. Wait, why do you have to cover up? Because it's not a flattering look on her anymore. Yeah. I think I just see like her bones. Okay. Nope. Okay. Very disappointed in that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's a beautiful dress. And she's a beautiful woman.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
She cut her hair real short. Very pretty. Very chic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, my favorite look so far? I don't think I have a favorite yet. I think Diana Ross was my favorite just because I liked the white cape that you told me they wrote the children's names on and the grandchildren. Totally. That was my favorite.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And I think... Since COVID also, don't forget, a lot of people didn't go to the office for a few years. So they got adapted to the leisure wear and they got spoiled. So now when they had to go back to the office, they didn't want to necessarily be in restrictive clothing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Very strong women, all of them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I knew even last year, I think it was $50,000. So like a table for 10 can go up to $350,000. Yeah. At the beginning, it was $50 and around $1,000 in the 70s.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, but that was a lot. Right. In the 70s, $1,000 a ticket was astronomical. So, you know, anything, coffee used to be five cents. So, you know, you have to, inflation.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
We're talking about the brooches. I think the brooches, basically. Because I think the style, really, you wouldn't wear any of these things around Manhattan.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
A blazer and jeans or a blazer and a pair of black pants and white man-tailored shirt. that Demi Moore was wearing. And then any of those little, any of those little pins and accessories and brooches on the lapels would be terrific.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
And then you put two little things on it from the flea market. It's going to be perfect. Very vintage inspired. And then flared pants. A lot of, you know, 70 bell bottoms. That was definitely... Oh, look how dapper he looks. He looks like he's at the wrong party.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Where was I? Not last night.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, last week. Well, you never have to be shy. Everybody comes up and says hi to me. I love to hear from people who watch us. It's my pleasure.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Absolutely. Everybody should have a white button-down. This guy is still on the runway.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, it'll line, so you can wait. It's there forever now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, no, wait a minute. Oh, my gosh. Here we go. Whose outfit is this? I want to see her face before I... I'm telling you. Breasts hanging out is very big on this staircase today. Are they hanging out? Like, I don't know. They're just out. They're out. They're not hanging. They're out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I have no idea who that is. Maybe it is, but is she pretending to sing or is she smoking a cigarette?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
All right, somebody help us.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Black and white again, Kim. Yeah. So on trend, if you really must know what's going on, small little pins on the lapel, black and white definitely. Definitely. A lot of hats. I don't know where you'd go in these hats.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Kim will tell you one day, you have to look back on all our different podcasts and you'll get a whole story.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Correct. Now we comment on every walk of life. It doesn't matter. We have an opinion.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't think anybody declines unless they're not well. Because this is basically geared for people who like fashion. You're not going to go if you're an electrical engineer trying to discover something, a new app. It wouldn't appeal to them. I mean, to be very truthful, it doesn't appeal to most people. You have to be into high fashion.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think we get that all the time when everybody's on Instagram. We're all looking at everybody's beautiful outfits. But I do think this is a strictly fashion-oriented audience who really loves this and supports the museum for showing the costumes throughout the ages. And, you know, it's not meant to be serious. It really isn't. So... I think it's a good thing that happens.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think the fashion industry gets behind it. It's good for that. And it's a night that's fun. Can't take it too seriously unless you're on the carpet. Yeah, it's like escapism, people are saying.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
This is going back to the 50s and 60s now, what you're seeing, and where men always wore hats and women always wore hats. I mean, you know, when I remember growing up, if I went to a movie, we would be dressed. So crazy. And this is what a lot of these dandies took that from. And they, of course, took the style and went way overboard.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Absolutely. This is the last year, though. It's closing? Yeah. So if you didn't get your pancakes and milkshakes, I had the most delicious chocolate milkshake. That's so sad. Two weeks ago.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's the greatest. Yeah, I think that, you know, the original people. are gone, long gone. And I think they're going to, I think they're putting a very, actually I heard, I'm not sure if this rumor is correct, that White's Pharmacy from East Hampton and South Hampton are moving there. So which is really what we need. We need a really good pharmacy there. Interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
So that's what I heard, but I don't know if that's true. Okay, what do we think of these?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, this is a dandy. Yeah. I mean, this is what they were supposed to look like. This is what I thought. Oh, look at this pretty outfit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Bridgerton look. Everything is Bridgerton in this whole thing. I feel like every... He's a zoot suitor. He's like a, this is the way they look with the baggy pants. The oversized. The oversized jacket and the black shirt. So typical.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
The whole thing. That is what I remember being. This woman is so gorgeous. I can't even believe it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
They have drinks. I guess. They're having cocktails inside. Okay, we're seeing Nicole Kidman.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Find out who did the dress. Okay. Because you're reading something that I can't see. She looks beautiful. Really pretty.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Okay, but we don't know who did the dress. She hasn't said yet. Okay, she might not say it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know either. I'm sure the designer would love her to say something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Okay, because these are all couture. I mean, they're all custom made for them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
All right, Kim, I think our night is going to end soon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
You've been terrific. You've been terrific fans of us, and we're so happy you all shared the evening with us. And come listen to us regularly, please.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I think she looks very feminine and pretty. But don't end on that. We'll wait one more. I think she looks awfully sweet and pretty. I think they're telling them to move on a little faster.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Because... Or, yeah, I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That's a pretty necklace, too. Pearls with a beautiful pink stone in it to go with the dress. I think she looks beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, look at the train on that, Kim. Wow. It fascinates me. These things must weigh a ton. I'm sure she takes that bottom part off. It's like a wedding dress. You take the bottom part off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
So much paparazzi. Well, that's what's been going on all over the Upper East Side.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, it's been really like a lunatics out there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I've got six or eight people walking her up. All right, Kim, I think we can say goodbye to everybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It looks like, yes, it looks like Prince Philip could wear this when he's crowned. Yeah, you know, he's wearing a long, what is that, a long blue coat? A long blue, it's almost like a cape. It looks like a graduation gown. It's a very beautiful color.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
It's something unlike any other ball that we have because it's outdoors and they, you know, people have to walk through this glorious tent up the steps of the map.
Excuse My Grandma

Well, this is going back to a slavery issue here now?

And who's the woman, did you say, in the red outfit here? Who is the woman in the red? Well, I think she's the emcee from television.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I don't know who that is. All right, it's not important. I don't recognize her. We'll figure it out. She'll never call me to go on the red carpet, so it doesn't matter.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
See, I love that. See, that's where he is in the cover of Vogue with the red pants. It's almost like a Toreador look. But, you know, the very decorated brass buttons on the short jacket. I don't, and I'm going to be truthful, I don't remember anybody wearing those things. They did wear the longer jackets, the men with the chains. It's Teyana Taylor, by the way, in the red. And who is she? Um...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Am I supposed to know her? I don't think you're going to know anyone.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Oh, all right. Okay. Yeah. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That looks like a very pretty white dress with spiderwebs.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
So now for those who don't realize, this is all outdoors, and they've tented it up the steps of the museum. So it's very, very interesting how they do it. And if you come to the Met another time when you are in New York, don't expect it to look like this. It's a regular cement steps going up into the center of the museum.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yeah, well, it's perfect. It's perfect that they have the tents. But these people have long tents that they have to go through and then up the stairs to the entrance. And we don't see them after they enter. They usually cut that off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I'm excited to see Kim Kardashian because I saw her children going into the hotel. So I know she's coming.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Yes. I'm not a lover of this drape on this other dress. You know, this shawl. Oh, you mean on Lala.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
I'm looking at her and I'm thinking to myself, it takes away from her beautiful face and it sort of looks like she's got a sheet thrown or a blanket thrown over her shoulder.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
That looks like Hamilton. Costume out of Hamilton.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Met Gala Commentary (BONUS EPISODE)
Well, this is very costumey. Right, there's Heidi. Oh, that's a pretty, I like that dress.

Now it's a major cost for a family to go to the movies.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
But you just wait for it to hit streaming.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Yeah, but you lose the quality of not seeing it on a big screen and not going. That's why... The big movies that make a lot of money in the theaters are the ones like Gladiator and Spider-Man and all those that really don't show well on the small screen. So, you know, is Hollywood dead? No, they're making money again. Are the theaters almost gone? Yes. And I think that's sad.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Oh, Wicked made, yeah. Well, those will be seen. You know, I was listening to somebody on the news the other day. Wait, did you watch it yet? No, no. They were talking about it. He's already taken his children three times. How have you not watched it? I'm going to say something that's not going to be good. I don't want it to spoil my feeling about the show on Broadway.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I love the show so much on Broadway that I didn't want to see it in the theater. And I'm going to eventually because these stars are wonderful and everybody says it's great. But I had such fond memories of Wicked when it first came out that, you know, certain things I like to just see the way they were. It's like The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I never wanted to see anybody else redo her role.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
You know, nobody watches what I watch. But they want to know. They want to know. Then you have to go to Amazon. And I watch all the Brit Box murder mysteries. Vera, which is a detective who's been on for 17 seasons, retired.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
So last night I watched, thank heavens my TV went back on so I could watch again. They did all the talk with her as the actual actress, who's so much prettier than, of course, she played a role of a very stodgy old detective who solved everything. So she talked about the show and the different seasons and the different actors that went along. They all talked about it. I loved it. I love that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
The main center was. We kept unplugging the TV, putting it back. Nothing happened. So the next day he came up at 830. I think I called with an emergency call.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I love...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
murders in which is it takes place in all different areas in france so every every monday or tuesday it drops a new one and they must have a million of them because every tuesday they come up with another one so i sort of like the beautiful scenery i like the mystery part and i watch them in all with the subtitles even the english ones now i watch with the dubbing on the bottom because you even their accents are so tricky that sometimes i miss some of the dialogue so i sort of like it and um
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
It's very entertaining. I don't watch any reality, as you know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Right, so what's in your profile this week?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I don't care. I couldn't do without my television. I had to have it on. So, I mean, a day without Squawk Box in the morning, it just upsets me. So the man came in, he opened up the hall closet, he said, The plug went out of the Wi-Fi receptacle.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Just fabulous. Well, everybody needs a matchmaker now. It was very hard, especially during COVID. Yeah. Very hard during COVID. That was, that was really, I think when your series really had a reason to take off, people were lonely.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, I think families used to match me more than an individual. It depends what community, of course, you live in. But I really think even in the 50s and 60s when I was growing up, families always put their fingers in. Maybe you'll like my nephew. Maybe I'll like my grandson. And I think it still happens. At least in my family. It's a network. It's a network. And you're doing it on a...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
more independent scale. You don't have to know the families that, you know, that you're putting together. And I think there's a need for it. And I think you're filling that void.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, we can go back to Fiddler on the Roof. I was going to say, I think that's what everyone thinks of, right? That's the matchmaker we always think of. Right. You know, which, you know, out of necessity you needed to have in a community.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
That's what I thought.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I just didn't know where to look. It was just out. So we found out when you took out the umbrella to go, because the weather has been so dreadful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
No.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
In every society, in every tradition. It's all over the world, that particular film and that, you know, the message that they share. But, you know, with the phone, which is the major obstacle today, you need somebody to put people together because the phones are a disaster.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
That's right. And we've had a lot of them on our podcast, that's for sure. Yes. And they give, you know, they've been modifying their format.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
To pick somebody up and make them feel like you're important to them so they're going to search for a friend that might hit it off with you. Kim is a very bad example of this because she had 100 dates. There's nobody that dated more than her. See, I think that's the problem. I have another issue with the dating now because I think there are too many choices.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And, you know, when you have a bowl of fruit on the table and there's so many cherries and blueberries and strawberries, which one do you pick? When I was dating, it was limited. You know, you went on two or three dates and your mother used to say or your father or whoever was your boyfriend. Your parental advisor used to say, that's enough. Pick one of them. Oh, I heard that. Well.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I heard it from you. It's not back in the old days. Well, that's because you have the wisdom, but not everybody has. But not everybody has that person in their ear. You know, there's always something wrong with somebody. And, you know, I'm sure you see that all the time on your group that you've put together. I mean, if you're looking for the perfect person, I don't know where they are.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
It's perfect just for you. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, there are a set of things that I think for each person they have to look for. What are those set of things? Well, for me, it would have been probably first thing. Am I attracted to him? Secondly. Oh, my God. That's BS. That is not your first thing. Can he afford me? That's that's the first. Well, that was there was no question about it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Can he provide for me the way I want to be provided for? Because I didn't work. Now it's a very different, that's a very different thing now. I mean, nobody, everybody's working and everybody's contributing. But when I got married, the male brought in the money and I wanted to live a certain lifestyle.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
So I wouldn't have gone out with somebody that didn't have the ability to provide that, if that's true. You just- I sneezed on the truth. You sneezed, so it's true. But I think- Certainly a religious background for me, not for everybody, but for me at that point, I wouldn't have dated out of my socioeconomic group was basically who I looked at.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And you could have been the most perfect person, but didn't fit in that group. It wasn't for me. And I had a mother who butted in. And if she didn't think that was the guy that was going to make me happy, even though I might've been crazy about him, she said, that's a no-go. And I listened to it. How many people did you date-ish? Oh, I dated a lot. I dated a lot. But not 100 people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
But you must say dating. Can we rewind five minutes ago when she said she dated so much.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Kim was on every day. No, no, I dated in high school and I dated in college. I'm not saying it was 80 or 100, but certainly four or five people in my college that I really, really liked and went out with.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
We have a very old apartment, for those who don't know. So we have an old apartment that has one air conditioning zone. So no matter what bedroom you're in, you can't control it. It comes off a central unit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Yeah, okay, that's different. I take it back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
You're talking about a different time. You really can't go back to pre-phones, right? Or that to me is the biggest, the biggest change in our society and also in our dating and in our life. And the problem I have is, is if you look at the, the, the people on the phone, do you give them a second chance if you don't like the way they look?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And sometimes that's the least important thing that you really have in the relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I'm still waiting for those butterflies. I mean, that's so interesting. You keep bringing that butterfly concept up. And I think that's such nonsense. It's an umbrella term, I think, for like connections. I don't think it is. think the young people today are watching too much of that rom-com. Nobody has those butterflies. Or if they have them, it's probably with a bad guy that titillates them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And you can't regulate it. So it's a very, it's a frustration. And it's something that I realized that this is the only place that I live that has that. Because every other place I have have zones that you can put it on the bedroom or the living room and you can put it, because sometimes, you know, some people like it at 70, some like it at 74.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
That's good. That's very nice. I can honestly say I don't think that's a prescription for a long-term relationship. What do you have if you don't have butterflies? Can you describe it? Well, I think we had mutual respect. We liked each other. We had mutual interests. Liked? No, we don't have mutual interests anymore. But, you know, we're talking about a long-term relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
When you're in your 20s, I got married, I was 21. So what I had at 21, I don't have at 82. It's just not the same. You're not thinking on the same pattern. You know, for most of us, we were looking to have children right away. You of what a relationship should be. Is that a person I'd like to have as a father of my children? Could he be a good father, a good provider is again the answer.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Because if you don't have the economics in the mix, You're going to suffer because you can't make that up. You know, you have to decide that that's not going to be part of my life.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I think love grew. Love grew. I think love grew. I don't think I was passionately in love when I got married. I think I liked him. And I knew we could make a life together. Was it passionate? No. But as we grew together and had experiences, yes, the love became serious and really wonderful and meaningful. Passion was not part of it. I had passion with somebody else, but I didn't marry that person.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
So it was what I wanted and how I knew I could live.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Now, how many matches on the show really became matches? I watched a little bit of it, the first few ones, and I laughed. I mean, I was thinking to myself, this is wonderful. But did some of them really end up happily matched?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Oh, that's so cool.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, that's what I have.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
You have an hour and a half meeting of which you see five minutes. the woman with the bachelor head says, you know, they can edit stuff. I mean, they make it more interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
It would be really boring a lot of these putting dance together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Maybe after this podcast, everybody's going to write into Netflix.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
That one is not even a whole concept at that time. That includes kissing though, right? No, kissing we kiss. No, I didn't though. She came from an Orthodox.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I must say I kissed. I kissed. But certainly not live together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
You definitely have to stay in New York. You can't live with Papi and I anymore because he's getting colder and colder. But it was unusual this week. First of all, the weather's been really dreadful. It was dreadful in New York because everyone said it's been really sub-zero. We had snow in parts of Florida. There was snow in New Orleans. It's been zero degrees and in the teens in New York.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Yeah, exactly. I always, Kimmy and I always have this conversation. After six months of really dating and really talking and understanding each other, what gets better? I mean, it is what it is. So either you're going to commit or move on. There's no point dragging things out. I often listen to her say, oh, friends were living together for a year or two years and all of a sudden they break up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
What took them so long? I mean, you basically could know that within... Three, four months of really dating seriously.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And we've had which is very unusual for Southern Florida. We've had 40s. So it has not been, the month of January has been unusually cold. And of course, you know about California.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And rules make it easier. See, in this case, and I'm only going to interject this because I do believe in this. When you have certain rules that you have to follow, certain norms, not even rules, it's much easier to do it. When you don't have any rules like we have here, like you could... be in your 40s and have children now, nobody thinks about it even twice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
You know, it's not great maybe for the woman, but there's no taboos anymore here. In certain societies, such as Israel, I would even think Japan, I would say other closed societies more so than the United States or Britain or whatever. You have to follow a set of really traditional things in society. And it's easier to blame it. Well, that's the way my parents do it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
She's done lots of stuff.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
That's the way my family does it. And you can blame that. So you don't get out of a relationship as easily. You stay there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I don't think people analyze that much.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, I think certainly we've heard that. Eliza can talk more about that. Certainly many of the very, very ultra orthodox, the women are leaving, not droves, but they are leaving because they feel that they're not given enough freedom and good for them. They should leave if they're able to. I don't love the fact that they're not A lot of the schools are not standardized in those communities.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I think the education is not as good as it could be, just going to religious schooling and not secular and no college education for women at a certain point. I think that's wrong, but that's my feeling. That's not maybe their feeling. They're living within a community that does it and is happy with it. But I Like you say, I don't think it's for everybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And if you have the opportunity to leave the society without being basically ostracized, I think that would be a major improvement, actually, in my feeling for some of these very, very ultra-Orthodox communities.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Israel also really offers much more education for women. They are very big on that. You know, it's not like some of the places that you go to in in very structured societies. Israel, you know, the more you learn, the better you are. I mean, there are always some people within society. Very advanced.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
The thing I don't understand though, and I know your boyfriend lives there. I don't understand how people are breathing because I remember when you had, when we had the fires a year ago from Canada, which were 500 miles away, they told everybody to stay inside because the amount of things that are, the soot that comes from the fire is really cancer causing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Right. I agree with that. Oh, I absolutely agree. I think that that's one of the things when interfaith relationships really get to a point where you're talking and you're being serious, you have to make a decision. I'm going to raise my child as such and such or whatever, because it's very important to have some kind of grounded life together. And I do believe it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I believe in conversion, whether you convert to Catholicism, you convert to Christianity, somebody has to say, you know what, for the sake of the family, we're going to do this together. And we're going to raise our family.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, that could be that if you're not, which many aren't, because then I hope that they expose the children to both cultures so that then when they are able as adults, they can choose something. Because everybody needs some kind of religious thoughts, whether it be Buddhist or Confucius or Jewish or Catholic or Presbyterian. You need to have some kind of code of ethics.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I would think about it like this.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I sort of agree with that. I think it's very hard for young people in their early 20s when it's so rigorous that all work today, no matter what job you're at, it's almost a 24-7 kind of job. And I think when you're in your early 20s, somebody has to forgive a canceling of a first date. But I agree. After the second date of being made, and if they canceled, then I wouldn't give them a third date.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
That would not be... But I think people have to be a little understanding now of work schedules. And you get a boss that has, I don't know if they're clueless or they have no idea that a young man or a woman doesn't want to be in the office till nine o'clock and getting a ride home from their office in an Uber. Who cares? They have no life.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And that very often is the case with some of these young professionals today.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
That's a no for me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
So they had people staying, older people especially, or anybody, or young children.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
This is almost a no-brainer.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom

I'm good. Everything is good. Busy, busy. A lot of bridge when you weren't here. So I caught on some bridge lessons. Got a little sharper on the game. You know, when you don't play for a month or so, you get rusty.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Yeah. Well, we remember, remember we came out of theater that night and we saw this in the New York and we saw the sky was red. And I said, oh my gosh, we've been bombed. I had no idea what that was because they really didn't warn us early. We didn't hear about it. We came out at 10 o'clock and we literally, you could not see in front of you. And it was a terrible odor all over the city.
Excuse My Grandma

Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
But anyway, we're wishing them well and we're hoping the problem is going to be, and of course, grandma's not a weatherman, but I know what's going to happen. They're going to get rains and then you're going to get the mudslides. And that's where you're going to have terrible damage again. So these poor people, I feel for them. And there's nothing, I guess, they love the lifestyle.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
They love being out there. And their assets have mostly in these areas been completely destroyed. And I'm not so sure if they have insurance in these places. A lot of these insurance companies don't cover fire because they're of the frequency of the Santa Ana winds.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
We're not talking about the Hollywood zillionaires. Yeah, I mean, well, no. I mean, those, you know, I feel badly for them, but who cares?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Are they raising money for the other people as well? Or are they just talking about themselves?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Okay. Oh, that's not the bad part so far.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Okay. So she'll make some money.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Yeah, but not as much. Now I took like two lessons a week. And all of a sudden, like any game, you really have to do it or you lose it. So then, of course, I had a trauma this week. Wi-Fi went out in the apartment. Oh, my God. It shows you how incompetent I really am with all these tech stuff. So at 8.30 at night, we had no phones. We had no TV, which was a catastrophe.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
You see, I understand this and I guess where this is going, but I really think there's so many other dire issues out there that these two people who are reality stars get over it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And I think the tragedies are the people... who have children, their school's burnt down, they have no place to go to school. I mean, there are really terrible dramas out there because she didn't put on her record.

I think that's one of the reasons I don't want to live in LA. This whole group sounds so superficial when all these tragedies are happening. And I think Matt- What's the end? What's the end, Kim? Sum it up. Half the people listening to us don't even know who these two people are.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Please Alex, post the song for grandma's sake.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Okay. I'm going to laugh at this a little.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, I think a lot of people besides these two are going to be suing because there was definitely some fault there. somewhere that they didn't prepare for these fires. These winds come all the time there. This isn't a once-in-a-lifetime issue that happens in California.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
They haven't had one this big in a few years.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
But they always have fires. And they always have the winds. But they were not prepared. They did not cut down a lot of the underbush and the trees. There's going to be plenty of investigations on this. A lot of people fell short of the correct thing to have done.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, that deserves 10 nominations.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
And that got really bad reviews as a movie, but they all, which is so fascinating.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
I mean, the subject matters are so depressing. I mean, where are these people living? What about lovely areas of the country that we could talk about on screen? I don't know why we have to see these dark, dark things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
You know, I think the whole Oscar has lost their appeal for most of America maybe five, six years ago, before COVID even, because the films don't warrant Oscars. They're not great films. Maybe one film comes out a year that's even talkable, I mean, that you want to even talk about.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Well, I think that's the only way in this apartment you get it. So at 9 o'clock, I went to sleep because I was so frustrated. I couldn't even use my iPad to play a game on, to play Bridge or Canasta. So the next day, the nice gentleman from our building came up and he opens up the closet. First, we didn't know where the main. That was the problem.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
happy-go-lucky blockbuster action but i i the thing is i i don't mind all the different entertainment i think that's wonderful you have different choices and subject matters which should be open to everybody but they don't warrant academy awards that used to be something that was reserved now maybe the actors and actresses warranted but the films themselves are not great it's not like the godfather where you you saw a tremendously magnificent film on on screen with
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
actors that were beyond superlative.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
That I don't know. I'm not privy to anything that goes on in Hollywood. But I must say that they've lost... Certainly the glamour is lost. You know, they wear these young girls put on these outfits and really who cares because nobody knows who these girls are except for maybe a few influencers. They're not, like you said before, they're not the stars like they used to be.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Some of the men are still. I think the men more than the women are really the big high profile stars. I think the way that the stars were...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
Because that's what the public wanted.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom
You have to understand, the public, and we're talking about a much smaller public than it is now. It was maybe 30 million. Now we have 300 million people watching the screens. But what I think. I'm saying is I think the whole, and I'm hoping movies come back because it was a wonderful form of entertainment for families. You know, you used to be able to go to a movie for $2 or even a dollar.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I guess I'd get stuff specifically.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I think it would be nice to all combine. And that's all I've known because every time someone married someone, we all just added them.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
get it all together uh on holidays uh you know they have to go to one for one and one for the other but you know what if you're lucky and it works it's terrific let's go to some of the questions that our listeners wrote in specifically about thanksgiving okay um one of them is if you are going to your significant other's family's house what is a good gift to bring host gift
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Any dessert is safe, I feel like.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
For Friendsgiving, I feel like that's probably the... Unless you can either do it kind of a fancy way or you can just have paper plates.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I like coffee table book because I guess you don't have to bring something that you're going to be serving that night. Like you can bring cocktail napkins, right? Yeah, yeah. Or you don't like that idea?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
What about the cute paper napkins that have funny things on them?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Where would you have Thanksgiving dinner in Palm Beach?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah, I feel like every restaurant probably does something.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I also feel like Palm Beach is such country club culture.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah. I want to do a video about this, but someone said, what kind of outfit would you wear for Thanksgiving?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
What are you thankful for this year?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Do you think some families like dress up even if it's at home?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Could you imagine if I was in a dress and heels and you guys were in like sweatpants?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I feel like a little like mini skirt or leather skirt with like a sweater.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah. I'll have to figure out what I'm wearing myself. I don't know yet, but we'll put something together. I'm sure. How do you deal with family asking you about your relationship status at Thanksgiving?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Your family asks, you think? Yeah, yeah. Oh. I think people are definitely, especially the family members. I mean, we see each other so much, but I think for family members, you don't see that often, and they probably say, are you seeing anyone?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
But I think also this kind of applies to all stages, like friends who are in serious relationships where people say, when are you getting engaged? Then my friend said as soon as they got married, they go, okay, when are you having a baby? People always want to – it comes out of curiosity.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
yeah and then if they press i don't think people press i really don't i think everybody's grown up a little hopefully when should you accept an invite to celebrate with your boyfriend's family before after engaged definitely before is okay i think yeah i don't think it matters i think if you if you if you like the young man or the or the girl and you've been dating a while um
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Because you're not going to not go to your own and go to theirs.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I also feel like most people's Thanksgivings end at like 5 or 6 p.m. Yeah, you could do some people do lunch.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Honestly, yeah. Someone said, what plans should I make for Thanksgiving if I'm alone?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I feel like you're never the only one who's alone.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
So there has to be a friend or a friend of a friend you can tag along.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah, and someone asked for the link. So we have a lot of more questions on here that may be better with pictures or with links on there.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
So definitely go on our Instagram stories. We're going to answer a lot of these closer to Thanksgiving or I guess it's coming out on Thanksgiving. So we'll post some on the day of as well. Yeah, there's so many. I can't really get through all of them. But last one, fresh or canned cranberry sauce.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah, I like that. Okay, thank you all for listening. I forgot to say, we're very grateful for all of you.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
That's a big request, but let's aim toward that and at least make each other smile. Keep coming back to our page. We are really grateful for all of you. So remember, we're Excuse My Grandma on TikTok and Instagram. And you know where to get our podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen. We'll see you soon.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I'm going to look into some opportunities as well. If I find things, I'll post that for people.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah, we're recording this pre-Thanksgiving, so I don't actually know how she's planning on decorating the table.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah. And also, if you don't I mean, there's so many ways to research and find places around you. But even if not, you can think about your local like church or synagogue where you can drop off things.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
But even if you don't have that and there's no drop off, like the people who work in your building, the people who are working here, like favorite coffee shop or whatever, like they will either take it or have family members or friends who would take it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
So, yeah, and I am thankful for being with family, having my extended family all in one place on a daily basis, honestly, but also for Thanksgiving. Yeah. And the success we've had career-wise in the last few years and continued, hopefully, good health.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Good health also. Not every day is amazing, but in thinking about how lucky you are to even move your body and always feel grateful for that as well. What was Thanksgiving like for you growing up?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah, I don't think I was taken as a kid to Macy's. I think we were, to the parade, I think we were always in Florida growing up because all my memories are in your house watching it on TV.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I feel like the only time you or she even uses that is probably for Thanksgiving, that tablescape.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
So I think it's the, yeah, I'm excited to, I said this last week or two weeks ago, but I'll be in a house also. Cause that feels Thanksgiving.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
There's been no disasters except for didn't.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
You had like a fall dinner party, but I guess we don't.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Millie's not used to sharing in her own environment.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
So she just got a little anxious.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah, sorry, Max. So bad. But also didn't Uncle Jeff once burn the turkey or the turkey blew up or what was it? No, there was something. Oh, he left feathers on it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Oh, actually, yeah, what he does is the fried in the garage.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
And I'm planning on going to the Macy's Day Parade this year, hopefully. I know you are. So, you know, we've been wearing a lot of stuff from Macy's and are partnering with them, which is so fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yes, my heels, which you guys will have seen in a video that we posted. I've been getting so many of my shoes from them.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I'll link it on our Instagram so you can find it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah, and they are going to have for tomorrow a lot of Black Friday up to 70% off, so definitely.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I'm not sure. But I think there's big sales in most of the categories.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah. I wonder who does Thanksgiving better.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Okay. Where do you get that kind of stuff?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
In general, like who does it better than Macy's? I don't think anybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
What company do you think like dominates Christmas time? If Macy's is Thanksgiving, what's Christmas?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
He's an independent contractor.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
But I feel like I could think of, okay, like Valentine's Day, I feel like maybe Hallmark.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Oh, no, I meant like for if you're hosting a dinner party. If I'm doing flowers? Oh, you just do flowers?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Okay, let's move on to our news article.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
There's this company, I'm just looking up, called Bordery. That's the one I saw.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Actually, I think my friend's friend started the company, but I ordered my Valentine's cheese boards from there. They make it very pretty looking.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Yeah. I think that's a good plan. Okay, new study says you might already be late in preparing for Thanksgiving.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
New research suggests you should start your Thanksgiving preparations more than four weeks in advance. A recent study of 100 Americans from each state investigated the best game plans when it comes to planning cooking and enjoying Thanksgiving, and they found that it takes upwards of two weeks of planning
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
No, but the longest prep time goes to Delaware, averaging 17 days of guest list planning and 19 days of menu building. Well, why?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I would believe that New Yorkers are like probably low down on the list.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
Uh-huh. It's also interesting that like we obviously have Thanksgiving every year and it's the same dishes every year. So it shouldn't be that hard. But one third of Americans don't stick to the same turkey recipe every year. And they want to try inspiration and cookbooks and online and family recipes. That's fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
yeah i guess it's like why not try something why not try something different yeah except in our group if you if you deviate the slightest amount everyone there's a whole uproar yep you got to stick with what they like i find that the same with the jewish holidays that everyone's like it was better from this place last year right we have the same discussion over the salmon every year yeah i think we can discuss um
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
dating around Thanksgiving and the holidays. Should you bring someone home for the holidays? Is it a big no?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
I think that's a good point. Unless it's a case of that person doesn't have somewhere to go, it doesn't have to be a big deal if you don't want it to be.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma's Thanksgiving Traditions
But most of the time, I feel like if it's just an early relationship, you're probably going to open it up to questions. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, the problem is, it's not that we don't know where to go. We know where to go. But it's tables of 12. Yeah. And nobody in New York wants to take a table of 12. Our family doesn't really want to be in a private room. How much can we say to each other after five minutes?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Right. And it's fun when you see the crowd in a restaurant. But there really is a problem with that. So we can't get rid of people. So we're going to have to just go to places that will take us for 12. Yeah. We'll do the other new restaurants at a smaller group.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Not that many. That Casa Tui was very accommodating. Casa Tua. Casa Tua. They were very accommodating. And that's beautiful. But that's a private club. And it's not easy to get into. And, you know, that's the kind of thing. You know what? Whatever it is, we're together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
You do have a problem. You don't have enough nights in the week for all these clubs.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, I think you should start eliminating some of them. Because you do have to pay for these clubs. Of course. Even though they're minimal.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Unless you're... If you're not using it, I would eliminate. This is not the time to have more.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, I think it's been an old guard society for a very long time. And they love to get dressed up because, you know, women always like to put things on that look pretty. There is no, thank heavens, there's no threat of being mugged or robbed or, you know, we don't have those concerns as much. There is some. I'm sure you now have to lock all your cars, that's for sure, because they steal the cars.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It's excess. It's excess. And at this time, I think you keep the ones that you really use.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
That's why they were a big smash in London.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Not so in Paris as much, but Paris is much more secretive. We don't know where they are in Paris. There are probably millions of them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
But New York has certainly been taken over by the club scene.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, that's going to be a big hit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
You also have to see how the food is in these places.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, you've eaten there already? Yeah. Okay. And was it Italian? It's Italian, I gather. No, it's like American.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, so it's a little bit of everything.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
That was delicious. I ate there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, there's so many new places opening, so that's fun. Yeah. And not to worry, because even the hot dog stands on this corner at Delicious in New York.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
The dirt gets in the hot dog. Oh, I love it. I love it. I love it. It's my favorite. A little sauerkraut mustard on a New York hot dog just puts me away.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Like, open your own hot dog shop. Well, no. Gray's Papaya reopened. So that was my absolute favorite.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Between a drink and an old-fashioned hot dog.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I think they're right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
That's the problem, yeah. But you know what? Most people don't live like that, and it gets annoying. So I understand where the girl is coming from.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
No, not really. It's almost annoying. You know, if I look, there's a couple of girls. I told you, I was looking at a couple of them on.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I don't even know where they're from. But they're so tall. First of all, they're at least six feet tall. They put on a little tiny dress that's a size two. They look absolutely magnificent. They're wearing the most perfect heels, the most perfect bag. Who is this? Who could be like this? This is nowhere near. And it gets people, I think, I've always felt this way, it gets them either angry
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
They don't want to steal your dresses.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
that they can't do the same, jealous, or just feeling bad about themselves. And I don't think that's what people should feel when they look at these people. I like the ones I listen to, I can relate to because I think they're funny. And they make fun of themselves as well as the things they do. When they take themselves too seriously, I sort of scroll through it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, they're likable or people want to look like them. I think that's more like it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, I'm following elephants now. Okay. I have a whole thing in Africa. I'm following all these animal reserves where they're protecting all the different animals.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, but they wouldn't wear the jewelry. They wouldn't wear perhaps their engagement ring.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, all right. No wonder I keep getting this one reserve. And now I've attached to the elephant baby. I love this baby.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
So, oh, I didn't realize that. Yeah, I mean, that's how the- I have to go quicker through.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
No, I think it is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Um, what's that a vegan drink or something? No sugar.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
And, um, maybe they want to buy us.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I don't know the difference.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It's not electrolytes. It's not replenishing anything.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, that's dietetic. That's what everybody's taking to the like Ozempic. They're saying that apple cider vinegar and baking soda.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, if you're very secure, it was a very interesting thing. You're talking about that. There was a problem just yesterday. The taxi drivers, there was a scam man online. on Clematis Street, which is right near where the college is in West Palm Beach, who was scamming riders.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, because it supposedly stirs on your immune system.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Not your immune system. What do you call it?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Your thing to go faster.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, good for them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Was it a young company? Is it a young group of people who owned it?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I don't know him personally, but I know who he is. He doesn't call me to say, hi, Grandma. I wish he did. That would be cool. Yeah, it would be nice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Probably came down for spring break. Maybe. Does he have children or does she have children from a former relationship? I don't think so. Maybe they're just here to soak up the beautiful weather we've had here.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, it doesn't mean he doesn't have children.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, they might be here for a meeting. It could be here for anything. We have no idea. Maybe they're visiting the president.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, I saw her this morning.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It would not be a person I would ever imagine she would like.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
And I, you know, I don't take Ubers that much, but evidently when they gave him the credit card, he was able to get... Wait, you don't give Ubers credit cards? Well, he was, he's a taxi. He wasn't an Uber or a Lyft. He was, you know, supposedly a taxi.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
What happened to Taylor Swift and the boyfriend? Did they ever get engaged? I honestly don't really, I'm not a Swiftie. Neither am I. I'm just curious. Sometimes it goes, you know, it goes about when they want to push the publicity and then all of a sudden it dies out. Maybe we have to wait for football season.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Okay, nice. That's good. You know, as you get older, your choices get less. So she's got to seek places where she can be desirable
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
men and and good for her she found two different places I think I think that works for any age though like join something that you're interested in and yeah maybe it's more not I think when you're in school and when you're you know you know as you get into the workforce you don't always have commonality with the people in your office you know it depends on what business you're in yeah so look outside of exactly you have to look outside of the box which she did very smart
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I mean, I love all those things. I mean, that's how older people meet as well. You know, if you have a commonality of an interest and you enjoy it, why not find somebody who also has the same interest? You know, everybody at different times in their life have different desires and different needs. So, you know, taper it according to your lifestyle.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
A taxi driver. And he really, I don't think he was a real taxi driver either, but he evidently scammed over 50 people. And he had... He was charging more than... No, he was taking their security code that was on the credit card, which I don't know how... And he went and he cashed in money from their accounts.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
All right, good, good. So maybe this will go into a long-term relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I think that's the same even if you're in your 20s. I think if there's a party thrown by friends, even if you don't know anybody, you can always leave after half an hour. Nothing is a command performance.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
No one's holding you prisoner.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, Grandma, you know, I love all my Amazon and Netflix programs. But this week on Netflix, I binged The Leopard, which I think has been around for a couple of months, but I just got to it. It's about Sicily in the 1860s and the reunification of Italy. But it's staged around the leopard who's a prince. And the story about is, you know, all the intrigues in the family. I love that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It's a period piece. I believe it's eight. different episodes, and for anybody that loves beautiful scenery, actually, last night I watched, they did a production, a video on how it was produced, because the sets are gorgeous.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
And for those who have not been to Sicily, which I have been, Palermo is, they took all the different parts of Sicily that you would love to see, and pretty, and the characters are very likable. So it was very interesting, fun, liked it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, I don't know why not. It's a love story. It's a frustration. It's a period piece. You're not going to relate to it because it was a very different time. And she was very busy going in and out of a convent when her parents didn't approve of her love for her cousin. I mean, there are lots of intriguing things in it. But the costumes are beautiful. The production is beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I think it's worth a couple of shots.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, I used to love that program.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, Southern Charm.

So they arrested him, thank heavens. So don't worry about it. It's all cleared up. But, you know, people do devious things. I never think of that, but you have to be a little careful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah. All this is entertaining. It's light and airy and takes your mind off your work.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I think leggings are for exercise or for running to pick up your kids. I don't think leggings look great when you go to a restaurant, unless you're wearing a very long sweater and high boots. You know, it's all about putting it together. No, I just saw it in Paris. When were you in Paris? I was on my Instagram. I just saw the fashion week. There was big, big coats.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
If you wear a very, you know, it has to look, everything else has to look very large if you're going to wear skinny leggings. Yeah. Not my favorite look on anybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Not my greatest look.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I think a lot of people do wear them as pants and that's fine. But I think a tailored pant is still pretty or a jean, a straight jean still looks better than a legging because a legging reveals too much. Unless you are absolutely a perfect fit. Some of the bulges that come out in leggings aren't so pretty.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Don't you remember when you get off in an airport, when somebody says, come in my taxi, come on my taxi. And I always want to tell people who come into New York, don't do that. Go to the taxi stand, go to a legitimate driver.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I don't really do ladies' lunch in Palm Beach because I play a lot of bridge. So I usually get a very fast snack. But I would say if I had to pick one, I would say, no, but that's not the same. I don't really go out with a girl for lunch. I don't do that at all. I would say probably the Colony and sitting outside around the pool would be one of the prettiest and the nicest. And the food's lovely.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Or a St. Ambrose. It's always lovely for the avocado sandwich. I mean, you know, a lot of people love a big lunch. I don't need a big lunch because I like a big dinner.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Dealing with hardship is hard and everybody has it. either sometimes relationship-wise, sometimes health-wise, sometimes financial, and you have to learn how to deal with it. And sometimes you need to ask a friend or ask a family member to be supportive, but nobody goes through life, and now I'm 82 years old, nobody goes through life without something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
And you either rise above it or you wallow in it and you get depressed and then your life gets worse. So my advice to those who have any kind of issue, talk to somebody you love, talk to somebody that you trust and work through it. The next day, maybe it'll get better or in a couple of months it might get better. Nothing is awful forever, hopefully.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, friends, it only has to be a very, very trusted friend because, or, well, I don't believe in therapy so much. So that's crazy. I know. So, but the truth is, but the truth is I think you need somebody who you really trust to talk.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
You're asking the wrong person because I don't believe in that. But I just think if it's ready, get engaged and get married and maybe live together a couple of months. I'm not for all these long things because I think What happens is you start finding faults in each other, unless you're very, very young.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, but I don't think so. I think people are very trusting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
If you're very, very young, then you need a time where you know where your relationship is going and if this is really the right person for you. But when you're in your late 20s, early 30s, you should really know where you're going at that point. And you have to take a chance. Nothing is guaranteed. This is something I say all the time to people. There is no guarantee.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Everything could look great, and then it turns out terrible. So, you know, if you're going for the guarantee, you might be sorry.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
But nothing is guaranteed. Right. Exactly. You could be married 50 years and it doesn't work. And all of a sudden you wake up one morning and say, this is no good anymore. Yeah. So, I mean, you really have to somewhat be a little flexible. And don't worry about every little minute detail. You know, that's one of the things I hear when...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
You're talking about some of your friends and the arrangements they're doing for weddings and showers. And this is so unimportant. In the long frame of things, it's only important at that moment because they're excited and whatever. But you don't even remember. Two years down the road, you don't remember it. So just keep things in proportion and where it's important.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
No, and I see a lot of them brought back in Palm Beach. What is that again? When they're very teased out, like in the 80s. Okay. It's a very old look. It's a Dolly Parton look, but works for Dolly Parton. Right. But for nobody else.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I don't think that should come back either, unless you're in a cartoon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
victory rolls no those are all those are all 40s those are hairstyles that are well meant to be forgotten they weren't so good even then beetle ponytail I don't know what a beetle ponytail is maybe it's just a ponytail I like a ponytail I don't know a beetle one is a short one where the guys used to pull their hair back in a rubber band I don't think it's a long ponytail and that was mostly for men I think
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, well, that was very 60s. I don't think that needs it. I think it's back, actually. I think all these guys now, a lot of the models I see on the runway all pull their hair back. But that's strictly for men, not women. If they want to wear it, good luck to them. Pixie cut? No, that was ugly. I think I had that when I was 12.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Your mother used to... It looks like you have a bowl put on your head.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
If you have the most perfect features... Or very small features. Exactly. You could do anything. I mean, she was one of those few people. You could do it, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yes, because you have very defined features.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, that was very, very Audrey Hepburn.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
She can pull it off, but 99% of the people can't. Okay, what about a sleek updo? I don't like those looks.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
They rip off these people because I think it's like $17 for a minute or something. And they also, which we've discussed before, because when you and I came out of theater a few times in the fall, they're always standing in front of the theater. And if it's raining and you need to get a car or your lift is coming in front, there's no way you can get into your taxi or your lift or your whatever.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, yeah. I guess if you want to pull your hair very severe, some of the models wear this.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, well, you do because you have long hair. If I sleeked it back, it would look like I was in the shower. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think when you're wearing a ponytail or pulling your hair back in a bun, it's pretty. Yeah. It's pretty. And it's also pretty for at night. I like it more at nighttime than daytime.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
No, definitely. I had it not coming back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I don't think it could get updated. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
So, you know, there are issues. And I tend to think people are a little more careful now, which they should be.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Let's discuss it. It was a boat weekend here in Florida. The boat show. The boat show. So for five days, there were big mega yachts. going up and down the coastline or staying stationary, trying to sell their boats. So on Sunday, when the boat show is over, then all the armada of boats have to leave the dock. So they would put the bridges up. You could be sitting at that bridge for an hour.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, we can't get into that. They're not asking our opinion on that. It's already done. So yesterday when we had to go somewhere, you had called for a car and we could see the bridge was literally up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Correct. Correct. So it took us much longer to get off the island. And it's not easy on a good day to get off this island anymore. But it was fun. I loved our little trip to Delray. First of all, she's delightful. And she has another cookbook coming out. We're actually going to see her in New York in April. But the best part was looking at her little boy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah. Well, to do business, we need to come back to New York to go back to New York and then to be with me in Florida. Otherwise we can't do it together. And since my husband had a knee operation, I haven't been able to leave him this winter, which is stressful because I really like to go back to the city like a week or 10 days a month.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
He had the most gorgeous blue eyes I ever seen. You said he's going to grow into those eyes, but I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Because he had the most gorgeous eyes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It was fun. We had such a good time and we made, she made, we, we sort of assisted, right Kim?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
We chopped grapes. Yeah. We chopped the salad.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I'm not sure what I did. I was worried with your knife. The knife was getting a little too tricky near your fingers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
A smaller knife, a paring knife. I don't think we needed that big, tremendous cutting knife. Yeah. For those little tiny grapes that were minuscule. But anyway, it was fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, you could really do that. I think you could do that on a YouTube. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
See, your brother was right. Everything is AI and ChatGPT.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
If it works, it works. You don't get an answer back that you don't like.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It's not like telling you I love you. It's showing you how to do things. Do you think he's ready to say I love you? The ChatGP TV, probably. You're using it so much.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
No question. No question. And that's got pros and cons because people will have to develop new jobs. because they're definitely going to take over many of the jobs that people do now. But, you know, Annie, I just listened to something as a matter of the other day. This has been going on since the Industrial Revolution. Everybody said, oh, nobody will have jobs. It changes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It mutates into new jobs and new educational things. And people will learn different skills.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, I don't really like it because I don't trust the people around me. But I know I have to trust the car because it's going to stop.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It is smarter than the people. The people are very stupid, especially in Florida. Oh, yeah. I would say they're the worst drivers anywhere I've ever met.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I don't like honking on the street. That's one of the things that's a pet peeve of mine. I don't like it in the city. I find it very rude.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, because the taxi fellows used to honk all the time. So then when you honk here, it's like extra rude? I don't like it. I feel that people, first of all, half the people here don't hear. So this is a very big problem. You're blowing your horn and they're not really hearing you anyway. But I do think a big problem here Is there too many people on the road?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It'll be over soon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
We're having a big issue with bikes here now because there are many like in every big city and this is becoming a big city.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Excuse me? Not city bikes. No, no, no. Regular bikes. But they don't have a bike lane. So if you don't have a bike lane and you have narrow streets to begin with, this is, I think it's a disaster. I never see bikers unless I'm on the lake path. Oh, no. People go all the time, especially Saturday and Sunday.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Families are out there and they're supposed to go single style, single file, and they don't. So they take, you know, they go like three or four deep on the road and it's not, it's tricky. Yeah. Walk like the rest of us.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Correct. I'm already thinking about getting the boxes and the suitcases up from my basement here and taking back stuff that I didn't wear here and I'm not going to wear them in New York. So I'm really going to think very carefully this time because really in the city, I don't dress up very much. I mean, it's mostly slacks.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I love riding a bike. I used to have the kids, when your mom and uncle were young, we used to go in the park with the bikes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, it's just a nice exercise to do with the family, but it's very hazardous now with all the traffic. So I certainly wouldn't do it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It's very hard on everybody's body.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
You're like a little china doll.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, that's what you should do. Well, yesterday, instead of eating bonbons, we were eating these little crackle things that I thought was bad. There was nothing real in any of those things we ate. Oh, it was like an organic snack.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I was going to go buy those at Publix because they sort of were tasty and they were under 100 calories for a whole bag.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, I don't know if it's really healthy, but it's like organic or something. I use... I don't know. I use Pepperidge Farm. They're perfect.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It's a good snack and it only is 100 calories. And I like that. And it cuts the hunger in the afternoon. So... But these things were pretty good. I'm going to go to the market and see if I can find them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
It probably always looks so pretty to all the different colors.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, like Dylan's thing in the Hamptons where they all walk out with a different color jelly bean.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Real chocolate. Okay. It's not a healthy shop. No, no, but chocolate is healthy. But you know, now there's so many people say it's vegan this and vegan that. I want the actual chocolate. This is real chocolate.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
And I kind of loved it. Okay, good. But then I was like... You should have bought some and kept them in the apartment.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, I think so. You know, it's much more casual living for me in New York. I don't go to the big fancy balls.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
And then of course I ate all three. That's going to cost you $20 to go back to the store and you won't even find it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, as soon as we say this, it's going to be a line around the corner.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Oh, okay. By the time I get it, it'll be closed.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, we were the only ones who ate there, I guess.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, what's going in there now?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Okay, that's more of a Mediterranean now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Yeah, they have more parties and there are places that tend to say, you know, you need to be dressed. Right. I don't think. Poppy needs to put on a jacket anywhere unless he's chilly in the city.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, this was an expensive restaurant, really. And it didn't get the hype.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
How are they going to turn that into a. I don't think they need to change the decor. It's beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, they could just put some wine bottles with a candle dripping on it. It'll look Mediterranean. Put some tomatoes on the table.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, maybe they felt that it was just, evidently wasn't getting the crowd.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, this is a very hard, restaurants are very, you know, first of all, they go in spurts and restaurants get hot and then all of a sudden they can get as cold as ice. So unless you have a clientele that really supports you and stays with you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
No, that's bad. Well, they evidently did not do well. I'm sorry to hear it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
Well, maybe they were having a problem staffing. Who knows? Or the chef. Who knows?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Influencer Drama and Algorithms
I'm going to all new restaurants when I go home. I'm making a whole thing about that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
We hear that a lot and thank you very much because it's very important. It's sort of what we're intending to do. in many cases, because we have that feedback that so many people don't have the privilege of having grandparents around. And so I'm everybody's grandma now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Rituals. We were talking about rituals the other day.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I was very, very in when you guys were in school because I'm gathering you're very similar in age. And it was much more popular. I think it's become less popular now and now more of the HGTV.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yes, exactly. People want to see it on the phone and see you doing it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
She was my idol. We were on that program, by the way. They interviewed us one night. Oh, my God. It was hysterical.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Kimmy was, we were the worst cooks and Kimmy made pasta that she was going crazy from how terrible it was. But anyway, we had fun. She was so nice. She's a lovely lady. I think she's cooking out of Italy now. She doesn't do the food. She does special programs.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yeah, well, that's you, but I would say hopefully somebody's watching these programs, otherwise there'd be no television at all. I mean, I'm on, I don't watch regular networks, but I watch the decorating, I watch the food.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yeah, well, that's, but that's the same thing. That's just the channel you're picking up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
She was in the big, and Ina Garten is my neighbor across the street from East Hampton.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yeah, she was the metaphor contest.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
No, she should. I like her roast chicken.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yeah, but she makes the best coconut. She used to have a shop in East Hampton. There were certain things that she really was known for. Now, of course, she's known for everything like you are.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
And I enjoy being in the kitchen.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
See, that I think is terrific. You've just sold me. Because some of the recipe books are really very difficult to follow. I've tried.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Barefoot Contessa a few times. And I haven't been able to do those. And I know my way around the kitchen. But I'm not a chef. And I would like to cook healthy, nice things. So I'm definitely going to adapt some of yours.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
We're still doing it. We're still doing it, but less.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
But it was a start.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
And it exploded.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Unfortunately, this is our relationship. Unfortunately, it's real life. It's real life. It really is real life. We have a difference in style. And we are sort of blending it more together now. But in the beginning, it was way off. Now we're sort of getting into a middle road. And we're seeing each other's. She wants to be a little more trendy than I would like her to be. But she's young.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
It's all about COVID. It's all about COVID. It really is. So many jobs were created. So many were lost, but so many new kinds of jobs came out of it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I think men too.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
What does that mean? I don't even know. I've never heard of that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
You make me dress like you. Well, that's what's happening. You mix in the classics. Yes. Yeah. Because we both are very small. See, and you're taller, so you don't have this issue. I'm 5'2". Oh, so we're all the same height. Oh my God, three people with the same, that's really crazy in today's world.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Well, that's too helpful. Right. So she sought out these.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
But those are actual doctors. They're not. Are they?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
No, I take the medicine. I take the cholesterol medicine. And I never had an issue with weight. So it has nothing to do with weight.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
No, of course. But I mean, what I'm saying is I think that our generations tend to listen to the doctor and take it. And we didn't even think about all these things with diet. I think a lot of the diet has come about the last 15 years. I mean, nobody even knew about all these allergies before. Things like celiac and Stuff like that. Somebody would say, oh, he's got a bad stomach ache.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
You know, I mean, we really weren't aware of it. So now that we have the information, going to diets like you're doing in your books.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
On white bread.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
And it's very, oh, that's, because it's very hard for, you know, we talk about this often. Shorter women have a little bit harder time finding jackets that fit properly and pants that fit properly, jeans. So it's, you know, we're sending it out there to all the designers, start making more for petite women. I know they have it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Oh, that's wonderful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I'm curious with that, because do the doctors approve of that on a long term basis? Because there are a lot of issues that you do need some protein, especially for bones.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
But yes, you know, some people saying you should have red meat at least once a month or, you know, there's certain things now they're coming out. I mean, so things change. And I'm wondering such severe change. works. But in the long term, is that all right? I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
So like advice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Balance of that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
So we do. We have most people though. We have cucumbers that are easy to launch.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
in some of the um the bridge uh products that go in the stores that aren't the high end but you know we like fashion we want to do we want to be dressed and uh i think i think more brands are doing it they should they do that and they've done large sizes which are good because people are not just like in the magazines. We have to be for all women. And so we're putting a shout out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yeah, that's controversial.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I actually had the gluten-free pasta the other night, and I thought it was absolutely delicious. My husband and I didn't even notice any difference. I wanted to see if I would, and I didn't. It was excellent. So you know what? I think they're perfecting different foods.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
But what do you mean by that? So you mean like a quinoa? A quinoa. So you would eliminate pasta, in other words. I guess.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
The thing is not to make it so that nobody wants to eat the food. I mean, that's the issue. I love pasta. Exactly. Or anything that you love.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
It's a lot of pasta.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Oh, we have Publix here.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Come on, give us some more stuff.
Excuse My Grandma

It didn't agree with you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I like your dinner. This is good. Yeah, me too.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown

You didn't do this for weight. No.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Have you seen those? Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
But it's a pain.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Not if you want to bring them back, but go ahead.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
It was sour cream and Lipton's instant onions.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Even I'm not bringing that back, but it was delicious.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
It wasn't gross. It wasn't gross. It was quite delicious with a glass of wine.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
We did. And I loved it. And we added some crab in it. I still like it. Oh my God. If you didn't like it, it's not for you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
That sounds very good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
It's not for me. I don't even want that because my mom isn't here anymore and anybody else's meatloaf I never like. Okay, it's an nostalgia. No, hers tasted better. I don't know what she put in. She probably put something terrible like chicken fat or something in the meatloaf.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
All right, okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
No, it's not my thing anymore either.

Two Cent Plain was the old Jewish drink. And it's nothing bad. It's an egg cream. It's a little milk, salsa, and chocolate sauce. So that's certainly vegan. No, it's not. Oh, milk? You can't have milk. Well, you could put almond milk in it or something like that. I don't think you should throw that away. Somebody will make a good drink out of that. and make it healthy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yeah, with a variation.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I have no advice. Everybody's body is very, very different. And nobody's going to follow my diet anymore, so it doesn't matter.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
My energy is just coming from enjoying life. I mean, you know, you just have... And if you get tired with the grandchildren, which... You know, when you get over a certain age, it's hard to get on the floor. I don't think I, you know, when I had my last, my fourth grandchild, I couldn't get on the floor and play. And there's nothing terrible about that. You know what?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
And really suffering in the cold this winter. They're really suffering.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Sit on a chair and then the child will come to you or whatever. I don't think you should get discouraged. Maybe have a little bit of a rest in between playing with the children. It's just part of aging.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Oh, I'm glad you're saying that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Where did you meet your husband? I'm just curious. Was he from here or out in Michigan?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
And now turmeric, everybody's using to lose weight. That's become a big thing on the internet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I haven't seen that. I haven't seen that either. Oh, turmeric, baking soda, and ginger in coffee. That's the big thing now. What do you mean?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Because I see it on my feed every day.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
That sounds terrible. Baking soda, coffee, turmeric, and cinnamon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Qualities, I think when you develop a friendship, it's more about a long standing friendship, not just somebody you casually have lunch with and then they disappear, but somebody who's been in your life for many, many years. It's about loyalty, giving, caring for each other.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I don't even know if it's interesting conversations. It becomes over experiences together over a long term because you don't always agree, let's say, on who you're dating or what you're eating or what show you like it. But it is the continuing relationship. So you can respecting each other's points of view and the ability to just say, oh, who cares? We love each other anyway.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Oh my gosh. I think I've answered this question before. First of all, there's something wrong with the person to be in love with somebody for five years and still in that same position. You know, you never forget a first love. This could be 60 years later or 70 years later, but you can't be frozen in time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
with this person love has to be reciprocal you have to have both people in it and if it's only on one side this is not love this is like almost obsession which like in a non-judgmental way sometimes you get into that mindset and you it's really hard to get out of and like that's
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
And somebody giving a hard, tough love and saying enough is enough.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
She's sitting in this relationship for five years.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Right. Which just isn't. That person seems to be out of the picture. So she better really move on.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Right. And don't forget that things are ended for a reason. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
That's the best answer. You deserve better.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I don't think so. My question is, I want to I want to be with grandma.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I don't want her to talk to me about anything. I want to know my question. Her question better to me is what did you eat? And I'd like to eat this stuff that she's making now. This is going to be my thing. OK, I'm looking at.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
That's a good. Oh, that's a good one. All right. My favorite food would be pizza. OK, that's my favorite. My second favorite would probably be ribs. Okay. My third favorite would be, well, I actually like pasta. So that's two pastas. And then, oh no, I like lamb chops too. So I'm a meat eater. Okay. So I like a lot of meat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yes. Black rice is amazing for you. I've never had black rice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Really? Yeah. It's called forbidden rice. I could eat sweet potatoes every night. So I could just eat sweet potatoes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
It's really good. So that's with my meat. I don't like quinoa.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Quinoa. I don't really like it. To me, it doesn't taste like anything.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
All right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Yeah, right. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I don't even like them cooking with anything. I like it on the grill.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I understand what you do with that, right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I like anything spicy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
She's not going to do that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
But that's all right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
She only had one lover, so.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Oh, my gosh.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Not doing a good job, Kim. I'm still eating the, the, uh, processed foods, which you hate when I bring them home.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Once he graduated from college, you were still in college. So how long after college did you get married?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
So it's hard.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
There it goes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
And you got to tell each other in advance because you need to get the ingredients. You can't all just say, oh my gosh, I have no lemons.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
You're doing your first thing. Yeah. Yeah. I want to ask you, how did you decide to move as a couple to Florida? Has to be a story. Was your your husband and you where was your first living place that you started your life together?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I love the palm trees. And the sun. The sun makes you feel really, really much better. And you have a little child. One.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Oh, terrible twos. I know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
It's easier in many cases. Sometimes. That's the issue, which is unfortunate because it's easier to go into a drive-thru and get...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
a thing for dinner than sitting at home and cooking so uh and you know for some families they don't have the time unfortunately but they could always make it the night before and reheat it i'm hoping that your lifestyle books will teach young families how to really eat healthy because i do think it makes a difference in later in life i mean it makes your brain better it makes you
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
move better, you know, all those things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Well, it's going to be interesting if you can carry this through when he starts a little preschool. Because even I remember going to school and I used to switch my sandwich because my mother always loved cream cheese and jelly. I always had the worst lunches and the worst snacks. It was not great. Well, it was what we used to eat on white bread, which of course nobody eats white bread anymore.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
And we always used to swap. Somebody would take your food and would trade. So it'll be see how he adjusts because the peer pressure of eating junk is always out there and there's very little you can do with it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I get- Yeah, you modify it now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
I bet you should try that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Right. Yeah. I mean, that's really the issue. You can take the old recipes that I grew up on and- Even your peanut butter. You know, I love peanut butter and jelly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
But the truth is, I should switch to yours because I know it is better.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
There's so many healthy everything out there. I mean, if you really go look in the market and do it, it's just what you're used to. You tend to take the label that you've known for years and trust it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
try something are you a picky eater no no but i don't eat a lot so i mean i you know my husband is a very picky eater so that said though like i'll take her to a restaurant that's like the three diners that she eats at right and she's like there's nothing for me to eat well i like a sandwich And a lot of the places you go, I'm not a big plant.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
With mayonnaise. Right. Even though I take light mayonnaise. Yeah. I do like my sandwiches because it's what I'm comfortable with.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Like you are kind of picky. I would put some of that in my, well, I'm not picky. I just don't go to those places. I eat in the diner. I need my 50s diner always around. You have your spots. I have spots.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
What did your mom do? Did your mom have a career? No.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
Okay, so she didn't, and she didn't cook healthy at home or she did?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Get Healthy in the Kitchen With Danielle Brown
So my mom. Okay, so you saw it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating

Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
um what if you're younger any fun places i feel like we always used to go to like dylan's candy bar and all but i don't even think those well serendipity is still around i know somebody recently that took their grandchildren there that's still the way we went recently you and i um this fall yeah and the great hot dog and the hot dog was great and the hot chocolate the frozen hot chocolate still terrific well you missed the hot dog at the breakers
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I'll miss the hot dog there, but we have a very good hot dog out in the Hamptons, too, that I eat at the golf club where I go for lunch. It's very delicious. I actually think their hot dogs are the best. I don't know where they get it from, but they're delicious.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, hot dogs are hot dogs. Nothing in it is natural. It's all full of sulfites and everything you can imagine. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Oh, I like this room better than that studio. You know, I like the studio, but you know, my problem is to get there takes me 40 minutes. You're a little closer. So I'll be looking forward to being back in New York. I'm not sure. I'm 100% looking forward to that ride downtown on 9th Avenue. I have to figure the right time of day and the traffic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
So you do need a certain amount of sunlight. For sure. But not good for the skin.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
But you're seeing the traffic up much better and I'm looking forward to that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
We'll see. When we go back. It'll be just as bad, I'm sure. Probably.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No, my brother went. No, I was too, that was, it was, I was too old already to go to those. There might've been ones, but the really the big one in the sixties was Woodstock. Yeah. And I was already married, so. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
well it was in the 60s but it was but it was in the 60s it was a rebellion against vietnam and it was actually the emergence of uh the beatles and all that stuff you know we've had controversies in every generation uh you know young people will always uh you know stand up to different uh people in power and it always ends up fizzling out and everybody ends up getting along but at that particular moment you think it's the end of the world
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, I think the stars are bigger now. The people who went up to Woodstock
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
were big names but not the humongous names that now lady gaga goes to coachella and those kind of people you know do they are they paid for that or is this going to charity or how does coachella work is it i don't know but it's don't they definitely get paid yeah okay yeah all right so they get parts of the of the ticket sales i gather I guess so. How any concert works, I'm not sure.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Right, I'm not sure either. But they don't do it for charity. They're not doing it for like Live Aid or, you know, like Michael Jackson did. No, no, no, no. This is for profit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
It's all right, I moved all this stuff out of the apartment here. So much of it is going back. Yeah, we packed everything up. Yeah, we're packed up and ready to go back next week. So, you know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, you know, I'm not for this. I'm very much against this. Going to music festivals? No, no, no, not going to music festivals. The cost of these music festivals. And especially now that you tell me it's for profit only, I think it's outrageous. I think so. Well, I'm sure you know. I'm sure that's correct. And I think that a portion of these big performances should go
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
to some kind of charity, somewhere. There's so many hungry people and starving people. These people don't need any more billions in their pocketbook. I feel that way about a lot of things. I think Taylor Swift should be giving a part of her donation, those billions of dollars she got to some kind of charity that she's involved in.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Yeah, I think a percentage, we do it and we're not in that big league. We give a percentage of ours to charity and we work hard for the charities and we always mention it. I don't hear any of those big names talking about it and I think they should stand up and talk.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I really do. Who is paying that to go? People go look, look at a ticket to a Broadway show now can be almost $300. Some of Hamilton is $800. Well, it's just, you know, it's, it's going to stop because a bubble will burst as it does in all the time. If they will come down and for those, look at the sporting events that happen and people that went to the masters, you know, in Augusta last week.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No, you have to be invited. You have to be a patron and know somebody who's either involved or you live in Augusta. You know, I think those things are fun and they kept the prices of the food to $1.50 the way it was in the, you know, when the first thing started. And, you know, I think some of that is wonderful. I just think ticket gouging and the profits that these people make are just out of...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
They were out of sight and people, ordinary people, I'm not talking about the thousand people that might have gone to this Coachella, but ordinary people can't even get a grip on what this costs. And I just, I think it's too much. I think that we've gone a little over the edge now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
They can do that at a lower price.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No, no, I don't, and. What I've decided to do as a strategy is to leave those items like my dressy, very dressy clothes down here because New York and the Hamptons lifestyle is very casual, much more so than here. So a lot of white pants, a lot of beige pants and black pants are going back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I think it could go on any age if you're into music and you love it. And if you can afford it, go. I wouldn't go if they gave it to me for nothing. So don't worry. Nobody has to send me a ticket. I'm not going. Yeah. I think I would go. Unless Frank Sinatra was back singing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
So... Well, we're not in a recession yet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
The economy affects everyone's life, not only people who are dating. Nobody wants to go out to a restaurant where they're going to spend half of their salary on one dinner. So I think that affects everyone. I think, unfortunately, we don't know how the whole thing with tariffs is going to go six months from now. We don't know if there's going to be a recession. We don't know all that stuff.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
It's very much up in the sky for the next 90 days. So you just live normally? I think, no. I don't think you should live normally. I think, and I said this to you personally the other day, I think now's the time to put a little bit away for a rainy day.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I think people can take, you know, instead of spending every part of their salary that they're getting on themselves, I would take a third of it that isn't being spent on rent and on just normal everyday activities, I would put it into a little bank account and let the interest grow because you don't know what's going to happen in a year.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
And, you know, if China does some things that that are going to cause issues here, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. So I think You know, my mother was right. Keep you always have to put something away for a rainy day. And that's a very good philosophy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No matter where you are in your life, no matter what age you are in your life, you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow for anybody. Everyone has a 401k and we don't know how that's going to get affected if the market goes down terribly. So this is the time to be a little conservative. You don't need that extra sweater. You don't need those truffles from the market to put on your pasta.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
You know, control yourself. Put a little bit into your savings account. I really think that's an important lesson.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I think I told you a couple of weeks ago, everybody has to start doing it. It's something that people should do.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Or go to a pizza place.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Oh, I don't know if it's low effort. You have to be truthful. I think now dating, first of all, dating when you're older is a whole different story. Are we talking about 20 year olds? 20 year olds can't afford these places. So they have to either go to a pizza place, which is still not cheap anymore, and have a soda, or a little upscale pizza Italian restaurant or a Chinese restaurant.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Yes, but there are places that you can still go that are reasonable. I don't think you have to go to the name brands. And that's fine, especially in a big city. If you're in a small town and you only have two restaurants, then you have to decide, you know, where am I going to save? Should I go to the diner or should I go to the more lavish one? And how much can I spend in each place?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
So I think you have to sit down and think about it. You have a pocketbook, you have a salary. or even if you're working on your own, you know how much you can afford and you have to be realistic because, you know, we've been living in a time where people have not been realistic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Young people are very much into themselves and into self-gratification much more than they used to be because they're not really getting married as young as they used to. So now you're when you're thinking about yourselves and what you're spending, you have to think about maybe putting a little bit away for tomorrow.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
The prices went crazy on most of these items that are the designer clothes and even in the in the stores that are knocking them off. I think that's why Amazon was so popular and Walmart with their knockoffs. Because people do see... They're called dupes. Dupes. That's how the young people call them. Yeah, well, I think people want these items because they see influencers wearing them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
And- This is like the people stealing people's UPS packages off their front porch. I was thinking we should talk about the eight, the women that went up in, based on his space thing for seven minutes and came down. I mean, I'm not sure if that's really space travel. It's just going up high. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. I guess.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I thought it was pretty silly, to be very truthful. I watched it. I watched the whole thing. I watched them land. I thought it was not exactly a cross-section of women in America, which a little annoyed. I have to say, I'm getting a little annoyed.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
He made an all-women flight, but it was all friends. It was a friend group. It was like if you took eight friends.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I would have liked to have seen somebody from Wisconsin, from Florida, from Arizona. Well, they're not paying for it. Did the celebrities pay for it? No, nobody paid for it. Oh, I thought they paid for it. No, Heath Bezos paid for it. Oh.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, I think because she made a comment when she got off that people got annoyed with. This is what I've been saying. And, you know, it's grandma's platform, so I can say it. They're not getting who people identify with. I don't can't identify with Katy Perry. I mean, obviously enough people do. Put some teacher in Oklahoma on that space thing. Put me on there. Put you on there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, Baszler's girlfriend's going on. There's no question. That was justifiable. It's his girlfriend. It's his ship. He's paying for it. But the other girls, who cares about them? Makes for a TV moment. Oprah's watching. But I thought it was a backlash. Oh, yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
But they're certainly not going to pay the money. And in this economy, everybody should sort of scale back. And they're a good copy. So, you know what? Good luck to everybody. I go into my closet and find things I haven't worn. And everything is lightly used. I never really kill anything. It's sort of I put them away carefully. I stuff them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I don't know. Well, they'll think differently. Get an ordinary person up there. That's why so many people identified with the two astronauts who were up there. It was a father, a mother. I mean, they are astronauts and they were professionals, but they were likable people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Oh, well, then they don't like Amazon. They're not like us. We love Amazon. Yeah, I really love Amazon. That's why I think he should have called me up and had me on the space shuttle. OK, maybe you would go. I would have gone to space. It's only seven miles up. They didn't go that far. It wasn't like they went to the space station.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, it could have blown up, but I don't think not if his girlfriend was hot. It wasn't going to blow up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, I actually agree with the mother. I mean, you know, 11 dates is a lot in a couple of months. It's in two months. So that's five dates or five and a half dates a month.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, no, I was going to say, I think it's all right. I think that it's part of learning. You're adults, you're not kids. You're both mature adults. And I think that the idea that he doesn't text is fine with me, but he could pick up his cell. He's on his phone, I'm sure, during the day. It wouldn't be so terrible if he called a couple of times.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, I don't know. There were no texting when I was 51. We all text now. But I don't think we have to text when we brush our hair, like you guys do, and you put on a new lipstick. But if they don't talk at all between dates. I think that's a little strange. But I wouldn't push it. It's only two months. Give the guy some space. He's mature. Maybe he's feeling his way through.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
He's evidently still interested. And then I think by the third month, if there are no calls in between dates, I would start to get a little nervous.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, that almost looks like your start.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I don't think you always have to wait. But I also think that sounds very needy.

You know, this goes back, and I think about this very often. We had a matchmaker on when we first did this podcast. Who was it? I don't remember. She was very smart. She wrote a book. And she used to say... Demona Hoffman? Maybe that was her name. You know, she came from an Orthodox community, so it's a very different kind of dating. They don't date for two months and not get married.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No, no. Long time ago. She was an older woman. It doesn't matter who it was, but she said it's very traditional roles. Men like to be the chasers, the initiators of dating. It's the old roles that men really still like. For 11 dates. We're not talking about three dates. But there are still men that like to do it themselves and not have a woman hound them. So I think there's a fine line here.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
And I also think there's a difference between hounding someone and texting once, how was your day? That's not hounding someone. Well, okay. But let's see what comes out in the third month. Wait a little bit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No, and I should clarify that. I am... for therapy if you really have serious issues. I myself went through therapy after I had an illness. There are times if you're going through traumatic times in your life that I do believe going to a very legitimate therapist can be very helpful. On the other hand, I know that young people today, they're in therapy from the time they're 16 years old.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I don't like my exam wasn't good. I didn't have a date for the prom. All of a sudden there's a therapist on the line. I believe therapy in moderation, if you really have a problem, is very, very helpful. I do not believe therapy to carry on your everyday life and your relationships is good. If you're having so much trouble,
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
in your private life, in your relationships, then there's something really basically wrong with that relationship. And I would move on from it if, you know, if you can, if you're in a marriage with where you need a therapist all the time to deal with this, then you've got issues and then it's fine. But to call a therapist to say, I can't figure out if I if I should go to this place or that place.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
And he's driving me crazy with reservations. I don't know if I want to go to the south of France or I want to go to Miami. You know, some people are abusing the use of a therapist. Every week therapy is not necessary for people who are in good mental health. awareness. If you're having some serious issues, absolutely go to a go to either psychiatrist or a therapist.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
But I'm not for everyday life living through a therapist.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I don't think at all. i don't think you're healthy at all if you're in therapy i think you are like in a healthier mental state than like suffering not suffering about suffering no question you should be not even in therapy you should be seeing an actual psychiatrist to figure out why you're suffering but just to get on with everyday life and making decisions you shouldn't have to use a therapist
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
So, but that's, you know, everybody has their own decision. She's asking me what I feel. That's my opinion. Certainly don't cancel your appointment because of grandma Gail. I mean, that's for sure.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I never did that, but you and your dad did it because it's too much food all at once. It's also so expensive. I think it's very, very nice if you feel like having a really, you know what? It's perfect for Easter Sunday.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
charge it even more for Easter. I have no idea how much they charge because I never would go. I don't really like that kind of breakfast. To me, an English muffin and a cup of coffee. I know you did. So you know what? Save up and go once in your lifetime. And if you feel like going back, there's nothing wrong with that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
But I have to go with a child. Nobody my age wants to go for an hour from where I live to go to Lion Country, but it's wonderful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Yeah, well, you love that. You always like that. I don't want to bring it back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
The old Chesterfield, it's now the Banana.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No, it's not. I don't want to bring back the old one. I'm looking forward to the new one.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, the old one was an old hotel that I think had been past its prime. but they had a great bar downstairs that was a leopard bar. And it was very exclusive, very dark and very British looking. And it was a nice place to go for a drink. I did have friends that used to stay there and we used to go, but it certainly needed a revamp. So I'm looking forward to the new one.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, down here, the whole paper is about what went on the night before. And what I like about it is that most of it is around charity. So it's fine. And I think we should always bring it back. And they do so much good and raise so much money for so many different causes. So that I don't want to stop. It's not actual news. It's just how somebody looked and the contributions they made.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Probably still Paris.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
It changed my life drastically. And I was about 67 years old. And it changed my life because my mom and I would talk or probably see each other every day of our lives. We lived across the street from each other, so we would do our own activities, but we would see each other either prior to our going our separate ways and during
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
the day, or we would talk later in the day and we would have dinner several times a week. So, and I still, of course, I still look up at her from my apartment and still look at her window and think that she's going to call me. So it did alter my life. You know, you never forget your mother or your father. I still think about my father all the time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
The people you love are not with you anymore, but you certainly don't forget them, especially if you love them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, of course. I mean, you're young. You should be going and doing things in New York.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
It's still not the same. A mother is a mother. My mother never saw anything bad in the way I did things. So I was very lucky. Some are very, I guess, judgmental. Mine was not. Do you like matzah? I love it. I have a crazy thing. I eat matzah. 12 months out of the year. Yeah. The two weeks during Passover, I don't like matzah. I was going to say, how come I haven't seen you eat matzah?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Matzah breakfast. Like this week. I had it for breakfast. I do eat it in the morning. You know what? I've been trying to cut out bread anyway, so I don't really eat bread. But if somebody offers me a sandwich, I probably would take it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
For lunch. You only eat sandwiches. Yeah, but I sort of stopped it. I only like certain bread. What do you have for lunch? I have like a salad, like egg salad or tuna. On bread, right? No.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No. Just, just the way. Yeah. I'm trying to cut out some of those carbs. It's hard because I love pasta. So I kind of limit. I love pasta. I love pasta. Wait, why this change? Because I notice all of a sudden my pants are getting a little tight. So before I go back to New York and have to look really good, here everything is pull-up pants and a loose shirt. I don't dress like that in New York.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I think you could live if you had a partner that you wanted to live with here. Actually, the economy is bursting down here in Florida, wherever you live, whether it be up north or south. I mean, they're really gaining on the north. I think the economy is booming down here, and I think young couples can move down here, live for much less money than they do in the northeast, especially.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
So I got to cut back a little bit on the pasta bit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, I would say you need to do more.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Oh, you mean she's dating no one in particular in other words? I think so. Okay. Well, you know what? She's definitely working. So during the week, if she doesn't have the time or she's exhausted, the weekends come about and you should make a plan. Either make a plan with friends or make a plan to go someplace where you might meet people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
uh go to your church go to your local church for services you can go to a synagogue on friday night uh there are all kinds of uh go to take dance lessons do something that you enjoy yeah where you might meet other people your age okay just to close out um what's what did we learn this winter season stay out of the cold
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
you're happy with your decision i'm very happy with my decision i i needed a little more a fix going back to the city which i didn't do at all this year but um i i think i was very happy
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Yeah, you had a lot of frequent flyer things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Oh, we always do. That's how we do it all the time. We don't travel that much now, but we still always usually go on Delta because Delta then, you know, you build up points. I mean, that's how to travel well. Okay, well, I got to do that because I don't know. We do JetBlue a lot.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
The difference is, the amount of schools and the quality of the schools. But of course, I think that's getting better here, too. So I think it's a great place to start out. It's a wonderful lifestyle. You just have to find the partner who lives down here and wants to be here.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Yes, they did. They used to stay at the hotel. They never lived here full time. Poppy's parents lived here full time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No, no, no. His grandmother lived here.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, we'll still be together, but in Florida, I think I'll miss the sunshine. I'm hoping that when we get back together in New York City, that the sun will be out and it'll be a little bit warmer than it's been. They had a very bad winter, but I think spring is there. I can't wait to see the tulips and the daffodils in the park. So I'm ready to go back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
So that's been happening in our family. We're a very close family. So it didn't really matter. And I have to tell you, my husband's grandparents, who one of the reasons I married him, because I thought they were the most fabulous, wonderful couple together. They were a couple I actually admired. She was so much fun to be with.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I would go to the ballet in New York with her and to the Radio City Music Hall. I mean, she did everything. Yeah. And they were awfully nice and they were wonderful to me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
It's like that's something you appreciate. But it was very unusual to have that. Yeah. Especially on a grandparent level. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
No. Well, my grandparents were terrific, but they didn't include poppy in their activities, whereas Poppy's grandparents did. We were included in everything because she wanted to be with me. Yeah. And she loved sharing and she would buy stuff for me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Right. There was never another girl.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
And they all doted on that and they liked it. She would go to a place and buy me dishes and give me stuff that, you know, I didn't even need at 23, 24 years old. What a great problem to have. But she... She just loved to do it and she was a collector. So she would give it to me rather than... Do you still have that stuff? Oh, of course. I have all the dishes and things that she gave.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
They were gorgeous, but you know, no one entertains like that anymore. That's a big problem. I tried to give some to your mom and I gave some to Jeffrey, my son, but They don't even want it. They want white dishes and stuff that's very contemporary. And these were very, very much not.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Don't buy any dishes because I'm loaded with dishes to give you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, you have two chairs, but one you use for your makeup.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
You put a dressing table in your bedroom.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, the problem with you is you have the ideas, but then you want someone to do it for you. That is the problem of my life. Well, that can't happen. No, it kind of can. Well, it can if you're Martha Stewart. and have 400 staff to help you out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I've had a wonderful, wonderful season here this year.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
But, you know, if you're doing it, then you have to have the ability to put it all together. Yeah. Or recruit a couple of friends who are very good at it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I barely touched it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
You like the idea. I think you like the idea more than executing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, I had it only with camp. I really loved camp. I mean, my camp was very different than yours. And I loved, I used to cry at the end of every summer. And I think I was there until I, well, I know I was there until I was 15. So, but you know, that was the only time, college, I was ready to leave after my freshman year.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I mean, I left after my sophomore year and went to a different university to finish off. But yeah, I wasn't that attached to anything either.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
My family is the only thing I really got attached to.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I never minded the cold weather when I was young. I used to dress up in a warm coat, a scarf, and some gloves, and it was great. There was so much to do in the city. much more than down here. Now, of course, you've got Travis, you have the ballet, you have so much more here now for young families.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
You're sort of a semi-snowbird. You're not really a complete snowbird. Right. You're not here over six months.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
i wonder if there's like another bird that i can be i hope it's not a dead bird same could be those big birds that are on your mother's terrace those turkey vultures those are so odd i know i've never seen them except in florida they are really one of their scariest birds and their wingspan goes out to like four or five feet. I think there's certain times of the year when they're mating, I guess.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I haven't thought about that and I don't want to think about it. Okay. Well, I must say they are scary.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Yeah. Well, anybody gets scared of those birds. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Yeah. They're in their natural habitat. They don't know why we're here.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, I think nobody even, they don't care anymore when you get to a certain age.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Miami, I think she's in Miami. I see her constantly posting stuff.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
And I think that was the reason. She's an empty nester now. Since I'm listening and watching all these things on my Instagram. So I do know that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, there's plenty to do down here. I mean, there's not a lack of stuff.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
She decided that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Miami, where she is, is certainly a big city.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
You just put a lot of hairspray. No, well, I have such straight hair. I have just such straight hair. Florida doesn't affect me and neither does New York. Worst hair for me is when I go to the beach. If I go to the beach, then there's no hair left.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, she'll keep it because she's going to keep it for her daughter.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
We have a couple of big birthdays coming up. Big birthdays. Mine isn't a big birthday, but I love birthdays because the alternative is not very good. No, we're going to go to fun places, I hope. And no, I'm not. I'm looking forward to going back to the theater, which I love. And I didn't do much of that down here because my husband had a knee operation and he couldn't sit.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
And I didn't really feel like leaving him during that period of time. So his ability to sit was about an hour. So it didn't work when we went to Kravis or the ballet. But that I'm going to do. And I'll do it with my girlfriends in the city. It's just fine. He's now able to walk around the place. So he's independent.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Yeah, but I think I wanna go to your new club. Right, for lunch, we're gonna do that. For lunch, I know we're having a big dinner. In our family, for those who don't know, my birthday is one day, the next I went, I had my daughter, my oldest child, the next day and my husband's birthday was the following day. So we have three birthdays in between. We sort of made a deal.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
We can't celebrate three big nights in a row at the restaurant. With the same group. Well, we can't find new people. You know, like there are no new people coming into the group. Yeah. So I think that I'm going to just do lunch with you and mom.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
yeah i think that works well that'll be just a little lunch a downtown day downtown fine maybe we'll go over to the whitney and see what show is over there i just got my card my renewal card in the mail so i'm excited about that we'll do that whole west village and meat packing area okay what do you want for your birthday absolutely nothing peace on earth I don't want a thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
I don't want anything. First of all, if the economy keeps going down like this, I'm going to have to sell my vintage stuff very quickly. So no, I don't want anything material. I just want everybody to be together and have fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
yeah but you know it's been that's the least of my worries down here i don't sit in the sun that much so i don't you know i actually just got a report from my doctor take more vitamin d which i said oh are you kidding me and he said no you have to because i guess i used to be in the sun a lot yeah i played a lot of golf and um and i'm not doing that now
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Well, I'm still hoping that I go to Israel in June. We're working on that. So we'll see. That's the only place I really want to go.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Oh, well, there's so many. First of all, there's so many new restaurants. Lavodur was written up today in the paper, which is one of the new was an old restaurant, an old really restaurant that was in New York forever. And it has been reinvented by two wonderful chefs. And the review was fabulous in the paper. Again, very costly. Again, for a bistro. You know, this is what's going on.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
And this is what makes it sad. All these restaurants are so out of... The site for just a normal dinner, you have to almost make it for a special occasion because dinner alone could be well over $300 for two people without an expensive wine.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
The Vaudor is a cafe, I believe.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
Oh, really? It goes back to sacrificial? Yeah, I think so. Oh, I don't know. I don't know if they have that in mind. They just adapted from, and it's in the same location where it always was on 16th Street. I've never heard of this place until recently. Well, it reopened. It had been closed for about 10 years.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
So let's get back to your podcast. Enough with this place.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Because I feel like
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
No, it's not great. That's not good. Grandma's saying that's not good. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And that has to do very much in the real estate trade, especially in Manhattan.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Yeah. Because I think, unfortunately, you know, your path and Kimmy's path were very similar in the sense graduating from very good schools.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Creativity and making money. The thing is, I think that's what people who listen to all of us don't realize. We are making a living from this, a very good living, which probably would not have happened in the regular workplace. even my age, you know, this is what's selling products. You know, people say to me, oh, really? I said, yes. Who do you think is buying off of your phone?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
It's we're advertising and you're buying. So it is a business and a big business today and becoming even more so. The more I read, the more I see people going to less do, less advertising, and certainly in newspapers, forget that, but in magazines, they are this big. They're as big as nothing. and they're really focusing on influencers like you.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Well, to my contemporaries, not to your contemporaries, but to anybody over 60 who never grew up, who are basically still working their phone just to work and to answer.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
It's easy for you. I go all over the world and everybody is giving me free glasses of wine. So for me, it's easy for you.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And I think actually this job that we're doing is much easier because you can do it on your own time at home or wherever you happen to be. If you're working for a large bank or you're working in an advertising company from nine to five or six, it's very hard to raise a family. So this is a better job for that. But you have other things that you have to work on. Everything is really your own.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
You have to take care of your own finances, your own healthcare, your own whatever it is, it's all about you working through it. And I think for young people who are listening to us, it is a great opportunity and it's fun. And for me, now I'm 82 years old, I've met the most fabulous people like you.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I mean, it opens my eyes and I no longer have to sit in a pigeonhole of people who are just like me.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
No, it's a very good school. Now, wait, you can never get in anywhere, so it doesn't matter.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
No, I don't believe in all these dating apps. But of course, you're a product of a good one.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Fix-ups.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Yeah. It's getting harder. Yeah, it is. It's getting harder. All right, go ahead, Kim. Sorry.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
to help out so before they were saying yes they had their friends look and be like yeah i don't love that i don't love that either i don't love that i i really think you know friends are nice to have and it's always you need friends but i don't think they should get involved in your personal life i think that what's going to happen there is that you lose a friendship because you might like the person that's on the thing and they don't and then the
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
the two end up having a bad feeling about each other. So, I mean, I would certainly share any information that you want with your friends that everybody else can know about. But I don't think they have to know intimate details. And they don't really know this young man or this woman either.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And you shouldn't be asking so much for the opinion. If you yourself have those kind of doubts, then this probably isn't the guy for you. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I don't know. You know, dating to me, what kind of gestures? Somebody says, good morning? I mean, what kind of gesture?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Oh, please.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Who's going to make coffee? I mean... It's an example. Like the little things. No, I think little things matter. But I think everybody should stop...
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
watching these ridiculous rom-coms that this is all about this is not the world somebody has to go to work at seven o'clock in the morning they can't come up with a little thing for you i mean get get adult be mature you're going into a relationship with somebody you you see them you can kiss them good morning or send them a text hi i love you goodbye have a good day or don't even say that wait till they come home you can bring them a glass of wine and
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And it took I what I we did this on my part on our podcast last week talking about my Thanksgiving journey back from Westchester Airport, two hours to my apartment. took the same amount of time to get it in the car. From Florida to New York. As it did from Florida to New York. Wait, you fly into Westchester? I tried it. You have to listen to our last time spot. It's from Thanksgiving.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I'm married 61 years, it works.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
It works. You cannot baby each other. Yeah. I mean, this is too juvenile. And if somebody is that upset about not receiving a text, then, you know, you've got to grow up. She should be busy doing her own thing during the day.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I haven't gotten any little things lately.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And you have to attend to that to yourself. That's something that's within you. And you got to figure it out yourself. You can't have somebody else support you 100% in your feelings. You know, you have to grow up. People have to grow up and be independent. And then as a couple, you work together. But everybody needs to feel strong about their selves.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And then you're a good mate, really, if you feel good about yourself.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And we're in agreement.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
This is exactly what we just talked about. This is really, this girl, you know, the guy has a life and she should be having a life. Stop worrying about his texting every 15 minutes.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
out of mind oh please come on he calls her to go out for dinner he can't call somebody all day long how are you and hold your hand this is this is like high school this is ridiculous uh you know i mean she's very insecure in her own feelings let's be nice because
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I was trying to beat the system in us. It never works to beat the system. That's the truth of the matter. What was the objective? What were you trying to do? I'm actually curious. We were trying to avoid all the air traffic, which we did. It was perfect. Going out of here, we had no traffic. Landing in Westchester was wonderful.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Or the president. Right, exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Right, exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
You should really ask me and not me because I'm in a tough love moment.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Well, honey, that was a different time because we didn't live really in a city. I grew up in the suburbs, so that's where you're getting that from, I think, from me. If somebody lives in the suburbs and you're having a date, I think it would be nice to pick up the date. If they live in an apartment building and you're going to meet in a restaurant, I think you can do that.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
But then you hit that GW bridge traffic after 3 o'clock, and there's only one flight.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Really? Oh.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Well, all right. Does he? But well, all right. I mean, it's nice, but I don't think it's necessary.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Unfortunately, the only movies that you see that are the big ones, like The Gladiators or Wicked or whatever, that doesn't really appeal to me. But, you know, I think that it has to be something that you both like to do. I would, as a first date, I still think having a cocktail or sitting around a small table and just talking would be my first thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
of here in from JetBlue into Westchester yeah there is a Delta flight but the one that was convenient that was midday mm-hmm it took it was just endless so now we go back to LaGuardia okay it's what the answer is all right that's so nice to like do a workday with us I know it's so fun though but I like I feel like I'm never on vacation but I'm always on me I mean I
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I don't think a movie is really, that should be later on. Because you really can't talk to somebody. I would never go on a movie date. You can't talk to the person.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Well, I think what used to be fun in COVID when you had all those dates down here were that you would go have picnics on the beach so you'd be outdoors. So that was an activity type of date.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Well, that's a whole different world. I mean, we were very respectful of our parents in a different way. First of all, we all lived home. You can't tell a 28 or a 29 or a 30-year-old, come see my parents because you're not living with your parents usually.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Well, we basically got out of the cold weather the month of December.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
and you know it's also very different because you're first generation yeah so first generation of any immigrant always feels that they can do it and they do usually when it gets to be the third and fourth generation people get a little lazy and that's what's happened in our society very often and that's why we need new immigrants
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
who want to be part of the american dream this is exactly what your grandfather saw and what your parents did and what you're fulfilling see that is something i used to listen to my grandfather because he was in he came over he was seven years old by himself yeah in steerage lived with an uh an uncle who was here already and then when he went and made his first maybe ten dollars he started bringing his brothers over
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
so that's the dream you have to want to dream to have a better life could you imagine i like ask you to cross the street with me and he got on steerage by himself seven years old it's nuts and they went from from uh somewhere in russia to get to new york city so there you know the the truth is we have gotten soft a lot of us and we have to remember the great qualities we have in front of us
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
and that we must take advantage of. And so people stop worrying about if you have a date this week or next week or any week, make the most of every day. And that's what your grandfather was saying. And I think he's a hundred, that's why he lived to be as old as he is, as he was. And I'm hoping to follow in his footsteps. I want to live every day. I think it's very exciting.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And living in this country at this time is a miracle of life.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
With the cost of milk.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
You don't really. You know what the truth is? You don't really get over it. You still remember them. I still think of calling my mother every day. My mother's dead 15 years now. She was part of my life every single day. So because I lived across the street, we'd see each other, my mother and father, every day. You never really get over it, nor should you. I think you...
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Think about the less sad things and you remember the good things. What your grandfather told you that's wonderful, that he had confidence in you, that he loved what you were doing here and was proud of his son and his daughter-in-law, I'm sure. So I think you focus in on the good. Don't remember any of the other things. And listen, life is transient. You're going to hopefully have a child.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I'll name you. It's coming. It's storming all over the place.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
So in that, you remember your ancestors. Every generation is a remembrance of some past group. And that's how I think of it. I think of Kimmy starting out. She'll eventually have a child. She'll remember her grandmother and her great grandmother, hopefully, and talk about it to your children. So you never really forget, I don't think. Right?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
because they've tried.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
But you know that they had a wonderful life. It's always sad. I mean, I think losing anybody is sad. I still have tears about losing loved ones that were left too soon. But I remember the funny times. And then it replaced it. It took years and years to get over that. I'm not saying that you get over it that quickly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Every time, you know, I look at a picture, I say, oh my gosh, I wish he was here or they were there. So I think don't think about the sad things. Only remember the good things about your grandfather. And maybe you should go to China one day if you ever want to take a long trip. And I'll go with you because I loved it. Honestly, I've never been. I love China. I'm adding myself. I loved it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
And I haven't been there. I think I was there in the early 90s. And I loved it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Well, it's storming. Yeah, we'll have to do this. I have a degree in television watching the weather. Right. Right. I don't actually, I'm not a meteorologist.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I know it is. And I'm dying to go back to Shanghai. That's where my parents are from. Oh, I love Shanghai.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
That's a trip. I love the podcast.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I would love it. I would love it. It's a great trip. Thank you for that. That's very, very helpful. You're the most positive person I know, so you'll be fine.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Exactly. So it's been nice and January is good so far.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I went to NYU.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
dating is just it's such an insane thing because everybody brings their baggage to a relationship and everybody has their stuff you know so i want to ask you something because we've discussed this a million times do you think because millennials have are dating so much they can't make a commitment until almost they're out of their period where they're they're uh they're
Excuse My Grandma

Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Oh, we just talked about this. Yes, but I saw him again this morning. Oh, you did? Okay. He's on all the time talking about relationships now. What's his name? The Shark Tank guy?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
I don't know. Oh, he's wonderful. And he said people should stop living together. They should just get married because when you're living together, it's all pretend. He says it's easy to get out of a living together relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Whatever. I watched something on Amazon.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Probably.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
A lot of new restaurants are opening, which is exciting. Yes. A couple of places in West Palm. Yes. that have been quite nice and we'll tell you about them as the season goes on because we've only tried them once, so we're not 100% sure. But I'm really excited because it brings a little different flavor when you get some variety.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Oh, lovely. Lovely, lovely. And you had your honeymoon in Florida, which is very exciting.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Oh, which is great fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
But Lola's late at night, too. Not really. Not really? Oh, okay. I mean, I'm in bed at 10, so you can't ask me.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma While We Get Brutally Honest About Love With Anna Kai
Oh, that's not really... Well, since we now... Since COVID... Dinner's gotten earlier and earlier. Even up north, even in the north when we're out for dinner. We used to go out at 7.30, 7.45. No, no, no. Here, everybody wants to eat by quarter of seven. I'm home by 8.30. I have to put on my Amazon or Netflix. I mean, my night is finished at 8.30, quarter of nine. I know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, I still, my favorite summer trip, and it's long since passed, is still the south of France, which I love. And we used to drink a lot of wine when I was younger. So we used to go through all the different vineyards. We went to the Champagne areas, the Burgundy areas, you know, wherever there was.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And we'd spend a couple of days in these wonderful little chateaus and then go to a delicious meal. I don't even know how we ate those meals. We used to have a... two-star or three-star for lunch and then go after we drank and then we would go to another one for dinner. But I don't think I could ever do that again. And we've laughed about it, but we have to be young to do that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And also have somebody who's interested in it. If you're not interested in good wine and if you're not into food, if you're going to start worrying about getting, well, I don't know. You have to really like that. Otherwise that's boring as the devil. I don't think I'd do it today. I would be completely annoyed with it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And I do like to go to all the artists, the shows in all the little villages along the Riviera and also in Nice. I've never gone a South of France trip. Well, you should do that. That's a beautiful trip. That's an easy trip to do. Is it? Yeah. People can go on the train to the different cities or they they can take there's loads of ways of doing it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And or you fly directly in and then you take, you know, Ubers all over the place now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I think it depends on the host and if there are children involved. If there are babies in the house, yes, I would take my shoes off because it tends to be germs. But if it's just a bunch of friends, no.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, my parents. I never heard of that until we had children. Yeah, I never. We never took our shoes off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I don't think people do that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, OK. I've never had it. When I go to people's homes, they never do that. But I wouldn't go to somebody who's got an infant and not take my shoes off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, I'm going to a Brown graduation. So that's my I'm excited. Yeah, I'm excited. It seems like yesterday that she just started. But I think Rhode Island's going to be a little chilly this weekend. So I was just looking through my vast closet and deciding what sweaters and what pants to take. And I'll take, I guess, a jacket of some sort because it's only supposed to be in the low 60s.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, well, then you know what? Shorten the dresses.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
You know what, guys, I really don't think you should worry about it. First of all, sneakers of all sorts are being worn now. So even and I know my husband, he wears those push. What do you slip into shoes now? They look very trendy and they're fine. And I think for women, don't worry about it. Either wear an open toe pair of sneakers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
comfortable flip-flops that you like and they can be elevated so that they're very pretty ones or just put sneakers on and, and don't worry or espadrilles and really summer is a time to be relaxed. And, uh, usually you're in an outdoor area and make sure that you don't slip.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Like if you're going on a boat or if you're doing something, uh, that maybe, uh, you need a rubber sole, you know, be aware of where you're going so that, um, You know, I have actually I have a couple of white pair of shoes. One has soles and one I put rubber soles on so I can always wear it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I don't know. I usually wear sneakers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And especially when you're traveling. Right. I think everybody now takes a pair of sneakers. Yeah. Nobody, nobody in their right mind would be walking around in heels unless they're in Milan and they're going to a fashion show.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, that's your problem. Stop taking pictures and just go have a good time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And then you're in like a... But there's so many cute sneakers out there now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, Tuscany is beautiful. Ah... Either. But a lot of linens or a lot of things that you can rinse. Actually, not linen. I'm going to rethink that. A lot of things that you can rinse out at night and just put on the next day. Very casual, very, very pretty, very resorty in Tuscany. And, you know, you're going basically to vineyards and it's a beautiful area.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, what's his reason? Maybe he doesn't want to spend the money. And, you know, in this economy, people who are worried about the economy have to find out his reason. Maybe he can't take the time off from his job.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
If we didn't get that much information, she has to check it out. It could be a viable reason. And then she shouldn't press it. What if he just doesn't like to travel? Well, then she's going to have to realize that as part of her life. And if it means that much to her, maybe she's got the wrong partner.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, I don't think when you're married you should be going on that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Because when I'm 75, I never did it when I was young.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, I think it's the same. I think it's very much the same. It depends on your relationship and your accommodations. If you're all, you know, if you're a bunch of young people in a shared house and you invite another person to come in, I would say that shorter is better. I mean, after two days, you know, you've got to make sure all the people are copacetic with who your guest is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And most of it is outdoors.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
If it's your own friend and you have room for them, I still think two, three days is more than enough. You know, unless it's a very far trip. If you're inviting somebody to Barcelona to stay in your house, then you don't expect somebody's coming for two days. It's got to be a week. A weekend trip, I think after two and a half days, that's enough. Friday to Sunday afternoon is more than enough.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Because you're together all the time, basically. Right. Especially if somebody's coming from out of, they don't have their own house, so they're all sitting in your backyard. You have to make sure that you've got things to do with them, certainly activities, food, dinner reservations, or plans to have barbecues and who's assigned to what task. So it puts a lot of strain on your friendship.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
You wore a white dress.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, but a lot of times your friends love to cook. Some of them are wonderful bakers. I've seen, you know, people come.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, no. No, no, no. But sometimes you say, I want you to make your special pasta or make your bread. Let's do it together. Maybe. I think that you can do that. And it can be part of the relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Depends on who's being invited and what the story is and whether you're inviting a single person or a couple.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Not really. The only time we did get dressed for your graduation was the Saturday night. You had that fun party with the other girls in that space. And we did dress up. We wore a little dressier pair of pants and a sweater.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, why not? Just tell them in the beginning. A lot of people sleep in a twin bed. My parents slept in the tiniest bed together. They had a million kids. It depends on the relationship. Some people like to sleep in a- No, they didn't sleep together in a twin bed. Yes, they did. They slept in a- I thought they slept in two- In a queen. No, that was when they became old.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
When you become old, everybody needs their own space. No, no, no. Two people can't fit in a twin. Yes, they can. A twin?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, for you, but for some people- A queen, I understand. I have a queen. Oh, no, my parents always slept in a queen.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Like you don't leave too early. I think that should be discussed beforehand. If you're coming for the weekend, for instance, say, listen, I have to be back in New York by, you know, shoot it out to your host before, you know, she might be preparing a lunch or brunch. Say, you know what? I can't stay on Sunday past eight o'clock time. Tell her that right now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
But it's not your home either. It's not your home and you're not really doing it yourself. You've got parents there. You've got a brother in the house with you. You sometimes, you know, if it's your own home, you're in control of what's happening. So I think, you know, you have to say, listen, I'm preparing brunch, but don't feel like you're obligated to stay if you have to get back to the city.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And a lot of times, you know, you're going for two, three, four hour ride and the other person or a train ride and they they have plans to to do it on a schedule so they can get back to wherever their home is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, that's correct. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. That's, that's what you have to say. Say, you know, or in the beginning, say I'm planning a little lunch. If you don't have a plan that, you know, causes an issue, I'd love you to stay and then book your trip for a little later. Yeah. You know, whatever. But I think all that should be spoken about, especially since you're not going next door.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
You know, it's one thing. This is like stressful. Like why even have them come at all? Oh, because people love to have guests.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, well, Ithaca, really, anything could be dressy for Ithaca.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, it's fun. And it adds a little bit of different vibes to the weekend. True. You get different conversations. I have to tell you, after a while, you haven't got that much to say. So you want to have a little bit of conversation. And depending on who you're friendly with, sometimes it's very, very interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And you should plan your activities with different couples, with different opinions and different likes and dislikes. So you have interesting conversations. It's boring to hear everybody the same.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
You know what? It's so long ago. Your mom was always with your father. Yeah. There were no friends. There were no friends. She was 18 years old. She already had her one and only friend. And he came out to stay. No, he didn't really because he had a house really not that far away. So he would drive or whatever for the weekend.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, I don't think they had, they didn't have sleepover dates before at the end of their, by the time they were having sleepover dates, they were already almost engaged.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, I think the first night we're having pizza party, just her small group of friends. No, she said it's going to be hundreds of people. Well, I don't know who's going then. All I know is we're going for a pizza party. I'm excited.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yes. After many after several years. So not in the first year. No, no. They were very young. I guess so. They were 18, 19 years old. But by the time they were in there after college. No, even before college. Oh, okay. Yeah. It was maybe their senior year or whatever. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Depends whoever cares the most. In our case, it was always your grandfather. I gave him an idea or he'd run it by me. Yeah. But he loved to make the plans.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Uh, now I think I'm making the plans, but it's a lot of work and, uh, you know, we were very fortunate. We went on a lot of trips with, um, uh, like, uh, a young, well, besides family, we did things with, uh, business things. So they would be planned by a professional. And those were so interesting because they had the trips planned.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
All you had to do is put your suitcase outside your room and they get it picked up and then you'd go to the next city. And And I still like that, by the way. I like trips to be very organized, especially if it's sightseeing. If it's just a beach trip, then it doesn't matter.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, I don't go in the sun at all anymore. But I guess... I think that's one big change in my life that I can honestly say now the focus of my vacations are not beach. I used to love to be in the beach. I used to love to swim and be in the water. Now I don't do it at all. And so I really like being in a city.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I'd read a book or I, you know, or just we'd go in the water. I love the water. I love the ocean. I liked all that. And I still, I still like to go in when the water is beautiful, not in the Atlantic so much, but more of the Caribbean waters.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I think we read a lot more, but it's hard to read in the sun. No, they all, we always had umbrellas.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I mean, we always had umbrellas. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I don't think, I think that's very rude. I don't, I don't remember that at all.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I was just going to say, why do you have to do that to annoy everybody? It's like when somebody's in a car, which I still find terrible on the street, and they're driving with their windows open and blasting their music. They don't need to do it. They're trying to show off. They're trying to say who's in command.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And they're really not.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, you had a lot of them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
But I'm not sure. Saturday night, I think, is a big party with, you know, like the whole senior class or a bunch of the girls that she's friendly with. And during the day, there's a smaller graduation, which you had the same thing. You know, you had a smaller graduation. Like for your major. Exactly. And then you end up with a big graduation, which they're having on Sunday.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, I think there's so many things that people, you know, young people, especially we're not talking about older people, even older people now can volunteer in these kind of situations. There's so many wonderful activities that you the people need a hand.

I'm particularly happy that we got involved with Bottomless Closet, which is a charity that helps really not underprivileged, but young women who aren't advantaged enough to be able to go in and to the stores and buy clothes for themselves and figure out how to prep for interviews. Exactly. With like interview prep and clothing. And I think you're never too old to get involved.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
in those kind of things or in City Harvest or in preparing meals or tutoring, mentoring. You did a lot of tutoring when you were in. Oh, yeah, that's true. And that was very, very, I think those things are still make the difference in our society and caring for others. Totally. We've talked about this a million times, but I really do believe it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
It's almost into the week, but then I think you can always bring it down to 34th Street.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
They were very nice to partner with.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, you know I'm not seeing that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I know. I know. I saw.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I don't know. I'm sure she can do anything she wants to do. She became a lawyer. So she certainly knows how to.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Whatever. Whatever. She's very smart. My confidence. I'm sure she's very good at whatever she does.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I don't know. I don't know. I like that show.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
So it's a whole thing is outdoors. And I'm very excited. And you go for two nights? Well, I'm staying two nights. Yeah. Your uncle is staying three nights. They're getting up even a little earlier.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I have no... Because they probably have to clear everybody's schedule and it doesn't always work. I'll tell you one thing. Just one. I've been watching... You know, I watch Amazon all the time, which I love, Amazon Prime. I watch every murder mystery that ever happened in every country. They've cleaned out everybody in Paris, in London, in Sweden. Wherever I am, they've murdered the entire town.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
But... I was thinking to myself, I said, oh, I'm going to go on Netflix yesterday. And I've seen all the Netflix things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I can't find a new program. I can't find anything. So if anybody has anything really fabulous.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, nobody watches what I watch because I am only into foreign murders. So let's talk about The Rewind.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
You know, all those rules from yesterday are no longer applicable anymore because people are getting married older. So, you know, they're not 21, 22 when they didn't really have any money. They were fresh out of school. Now these most young couples can almost pay for their own. Right. You know, and I think most weddings now, I don't know if it's still true.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
It seems like both families get involved with paying.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, we didn't stay last time. We just went we went up on the train. I remember my train fiasco. I think I talked about it where it was supposed to be a two and a half hour train ride to an island. It took four and a half hours. Exactly. It's never. People are always like, oh, it's so easy. Well, it is easy. It is easy. But the train tracks are so old going on all these trains.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yes. Well, that's still applicable. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
The honeymoon, yes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I think that's just awful. I think it's so awful. Right? I think it's terrible. You know, if you can't afford to do it, you shouldn't do it. Just take a weekend. I mean, so much of this is about affordability. And I think you shouldn't strap yourselves. I see the cost of some of these weddings and these bachelorette parties and bachelor parties are just out of – they're out of sight.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And it's not – it's just not financially – It's smart.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I guess you could ask for anything, Kim. You can ask for anything, but then just ask, just say no gifts, only finance or send a check. No, nobody. I don't know. I do know one family who was very, very wealthy who said only to charity.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Or didn't you have one that one of your friends had wine on the list? That was, you know, right. So that that was interesting for change because a lot of people, you know, when you're in your 30s, it's not like when you're in your early 20s. Right. So it's very different. Have you heard of Zola? I heard that's a wedding site, right?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I tried it once. I thought it was difficult, but you know, everything online is difficult for me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I still think a check is the best gift.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Maybe their schedules didn't align to take longer time or depending where they are in their careers, they couldn't take a longer one. That's, you know, that's fine. First of all, today, everybody's living together. So for the most part, when you need a long honeymoon, you've already had two years of a honeymoon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
So money, I bet, is still the most important. I'm going to tell you a million times before I go through. But I know in my mind, and this hasn't changed, money is the number one issue about young couples. When they cannot afford to do what they want to do, that's the first reason they have a fight. It's not over anything else. It's always over money. I don't know who it is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I mean, that is one thing. No, it's just slow. They can't go through. They're not the fast track. If you're in Europe, you go on the trains and you get there in two seconds. All the tracks are slow. The trains probably could go as fast as any train could go, but they can't go faster than the track allows them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
That's the issue. When you're 21, you don't think of that. When you're 30, you do think about it. It's just, this is a normal thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I don't think so at all.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, it's been a while since we've been in this studio. We did a podcast a week ago down at Spotify. I don't know why.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, that's what I've always said to you. And you're in a long distance thing. I think it's very difficult and I wouldn't advise it for people. I think it's a it's not a good thing in the long run because what's going to happen is somebody has to give up something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
So it's not like when you're you live in a community together and you and you don't have to give up your job or your or your family or your friends. It's very difficult. A long distance.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, not at all. No, no, no. But but the figures are saying what back is what I'm saying.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I I think in reality, it's not even that high. But all right. It's hard. It's very hard because you can't. It's very, very hard. You know, I always think about people, you know, who live in Europe. How can they they marry somebody that has a job in the States and then who's going to give up what? I mean, where does it where does it happen? Somebody has to make the sacrifice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, that's. It's not a little. That's a big one.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, I think it's not a deterrent if you have a final time of when the relationship really has to either end or go to the next step and really make commitment. Because if you don't have that, then you spend your life on a plane or on a train or in a car.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I don't even know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, I think it's but it's just a little more difficult. So before you start to think it through.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, I don't know if I have to bring it back. It was messy. You used to stick them in a pail and wind them around and do it. I did it, the tie-dye shirt. I don't know if we have to bring it back. It was very 70s. I like it for camp. Yeah, maybe, exactly, for a fun experience. Yeah. Where you don't care about getting messed up and ruining everything. Right. Slip and slides.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
For little kids, it's still fun. I did it in college. I don't know. Has it gone away? I mean, I... Maybe not. I think people still... I mean, maybe as an adult. Oh, sip and slide? No, like when you go... Oh, not drinking and sliding. No, no, no. Oh, slip and slide? No, I don't think that's gone away. That's an activity. It's a water activity.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I used to love that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
It is fun, but they're no good. Unfortunately, I don't even go to the movies anymore. And I used to go a couple of times a week. But I would go if they showed old movies. And that would be fun. Well, you did do that in Southampton. Remember they had that? They do. They didn't do it last year's summer.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I think it's wonderful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, when nobody's off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, there are lots of them. For me, I mean, you could go up to – you could certainly go to any of the places like Rhode Island, which is great fun. Is that in the summer?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
So far, we like everything.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, I don't think anybody does that anymore. I used to do it because I and I still think it's pretty to have it. They don't do it for weddings either anymore.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
You do get it because I know now I haven't gotten one party invitation. Everything is over email parties and stuff.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, that's evidently that's everybody feels the same way.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, I think I don't think they're coming back. So we don't have to. It's just a new era for invitations. Nobody's going to. I feel sorry for people who are for Hallmark. I still buy Hallmark cards.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, wow. That's terrible.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, Kimberly, you forgot already. I'll be in Rhode Island.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, that's all right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And you're going to be in LA. Yes. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Have a great time, everybody. Enjoy the weekend.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Of course you see all the beautiful castles, all the homes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, I love Rhode Island. At the end of the September. The old synagogue, which is the oldest synagogue in the United States.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
really. So, I mean, it's not like, you know, I think people do go to see it. It's like going to a church. You know, it's an iconic building in that area. So I think there's lots to do and there's lots to do in upstate New York. It's beautiful this time of the year. I mean, you know, take a weekend in the Poconos or in the Catskills.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I went to a wonderful place in upstate New York with my friends last year. I can't think of the spa. But there's so many things to Washington, Connecticut. There's lots of stuff to do. It's the beginning of summer. So hopefully, unfortunately, and I'm going to say this to be negative and I'm not a weatherman, it's never really nice Memorial Day weekend up in the north. Yeah, June, the end of June.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Because you miss me. It's so sweet of you to say. Well, I haven't seen you in a week. Right. That's a long time for us. For us, yeah. For us, it's a long time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And then September and October in the most gorgeous. Yeah. When everybody's already back to work on a full-time basis.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, it's really not easy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, I think, yeah, California is really nice now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Just a barbecue, just a barbecue. You know, you put your flags out or you go in town and you watch the parade. Even in East Hampton, when I'm out there, they have the fire engines come out and the police cars come out and they go down Main Street and the kids are all waving the flags. It's it's.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
First of all, it's an iconic weekend and it's the beginning of summer and you are paying respect to our heroes of the past. So I think it's really something that we should celebrate.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I think probably, well, I like hot dogs and hamburgers. So it would either be baked beans, which I love. I've never seen you eat that ever. I love baked beans. I used to eat it all the time. Well, I haven't made a barbecue in a long time. Or coleslaw or potato salad. Yeah, I feel like that's more on brand.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I cut my hair. You didn't even notice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
You know, it's, I think you, no, I happen to love baked beans with little brown sugar in it and bacon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, I haven't had a barbecue at my house in a long time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, coleslaw. I love coleslaw.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I'm sure nothing is hard to make if you concentrate, but we're not very good at cutting. Yeah. We had a problem cutting lettuce for a Waldorf salad.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, you're not supposed to. Your finger will get cut off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Same person, but I was letting, I was trying to wait a little longer and all of a sudden it was an emergency, a hair emergency.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, I think that that depends on the relationship. If they've made a trip to coming from out of town, you certainly are going to stay through probably Monday. You know, from a lot of people leave work Thursday and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then Monday after lunch, probably people depart.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
It depends on your room. And your relationship. Right. If you have a a place where they have their own room and they're not sleeping in a pullout sofa somewhere, then I think it doesn't really matter. But it depends on the relationship of all the characters. Yeah. I'm always careful. You don't want to overstay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
My grandfather used to keep his hat on because he was never sure somebody would tell him he should leave.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
He was always ready to go.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, yeah. I don't know. I never see that anymore. Because men never went out in public without a hat. And women, too, as well, wore hats because it was like the thing with gloves. Is it like modesty or what was it? I don't know. No, I think it was just a traditional mode of dressing. People just wore hats and they felt.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
But now it's good. Yeah. Good for three weeks.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
No, when I was little, I think my grandparents wore a hat and my mother, they all wore little hats. We never went to a synagogue without wearing covering our head. Yeah, that makes sense. But now, you know, you don't. Or you wear a little bit of a lace thing in the back of your hair just to be modest.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
But you know that so many of those dress codes have changed that you can't really generalize anything. Now, if you're wearing a hat like we saw in the Met costume gala, they're all wearing it as a part of the outfit. And it's fabulous. So, you know, it's a look.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Oh, sure. Well, I was in a bikini all the time because I had a yellow polka dot bikini. I mean, no question. I mean, yes, the song came out then. Yeah, they weren't revealing your tushy like they are today. They were just like almost like wearing underwear and a bra. But most girls wore bikinis. That was the look of the 50s and the 60s. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, but not as revealing as today. Actually, they were quite pretty. And I always loved the one-piece suit that was cut nicely around the bodice. It's still very flattering.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I think you take something safe with zippers and hopefully you put inside the larger bag, maybe a smaller little thing where you can take out it and leave the bigger one in the room. And then just take your key and some money or your credit card at night.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, I do. Actually, I have a bunch of them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah. But I don't go any.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I think that it makes sense to have a zipper, especially if you're going on public transportation. Yeah. I would almost invest in an inexpensive one if you're going away for the summer. Because people pickpocket, unfortunately, in the big cities, and it's no different than any other place. And it's better to be safe. And then never carry your passport – if you're in a hotel –
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Put your or any kind of accommodation. See if you have a lockbox or to keep your passport and then have a photocopy of the actual passport in your wallet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, if you're shopping, I don't think most people who are traveling are necessarily spending the whole day shopping. It's probably very expensive to do that. I think if you know you're going on a shopping day, but I think if you take a photocopy, most of them with your number will accept that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I don't really know. I know you have to have your license with a specific security code on it, which I have in Florida. I know New York did. Yeah, and your license, you have to have like a little, either a star or a flag or something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Yeah, I think that, but I don't think any of that takes the place of a passport. You still have to show a passport.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, you know more than I. I haven't gone to Europe recently, so I don't know. You have to check. If you're going. Do me a favor, everybody. Look online and make sure you're properly certified before you go to the airport. Because the airports now, and they're warning everybody, especially in the big cities, it's going to be a hassle this summer because of the traffic controllers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
They're not as many as they need to be. The planes are... Really, especially in the New York metropolitan area, it's a disaster. I mean, Newark is half shut down. LaGuardia, Kennedy's under repair. Is it getting better? No, I think it's getting worse. It's going to be very bad over the summer.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Your Memorial Day parties, you mean? Yeah, any summer parties. Yeah. I think people should always have in their pantry enough sodas, you know, club sodas, tonics. Then if you're a wine drinker, a couple of bottles of white, a couple of bottles of red, always ready to go, or rosé, which is my favorite in the summer if it's warm.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And I think you have to have in your stockpile, perhaps some snacks, you know, always some pretzels, some nuts.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, that I think everybody, right. You should definitely think of that through first. I mean, I have that always because I've got a stockpile of them. But if you know you're going to host something, then you should, before the busy months go on, go into one of the party stores and really look for something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
You don't need napkins anymore because everybody uses paper napkins.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
Well, depending on how formal it is. If you're going to do a formal dinner party, then you need napkins as well, which are readily available. And you could do everything online now. I mean, you know, you have all those pictures on your phone of all the... Pinterest.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
I think depending on you, I know I go to them all the time and I'm certainly out of college a long time, but it's usually generally, yeah, usually we're a white party, very big on white party. Now I was invited to a gold party this summer. So, you know, a color. So I think, you know, to do a costume party is a bit much unless you're having the party over Halloween.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
And I like... Well, they can all wear their father's ties and the girls can wear wide bell bottoms.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Memorial Day Plans and Summer Hosting Rules
If you're in the 70s. I don't think you should spend that much time thinking about the theme and what the food is. More relevant how you're going to make the food and where you're going to get the food. I guess so.

Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Welcome back to another episode of Excuse My Grandma. It's Kim and my co-host Grandma Gail. Okay, today we are joined by Natasha Kornstein. Grandma and I are really excited about this. She's the CEO of Blushington. I've gone and got my makeup done recently. It looked gorgeous. And Blushington has beauty services and in-person in New York City, as well as online.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Thank you. And I like what you're saying. You can't stay still. What was good yesterday necessarily isn't gonna be good next week. So we have to move with the times. We have to see what's happening. Hopefully the robots won't take over putting
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
You mentioned the cleaning of the brushes and the disposable brush sets. I actually think about this a lot because I'm a...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So as part of Excuse My Grandma, we have a few segments that we do. So we'd like to bring you along on some of those. So the first is the grandma report. This week, we're discussing an article that Forbes had on work love and the parallels between them. So I feel like you'll have a lot to say on this. Um, and it kind of talks about the similarities between professional and romantic relationships.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And you've had that merged with your husband too. So the first bit is that both work and love involve a lot of commitment, um, and communication and mutual growth. So with your husband and you have your son who's in college now. Do you agree with that? I guess concept that you kind of have to have the balance of both to have such a strong career and family life.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
when the next generation got friendly, we became friendly. And I've known them for a very long time and they're very special people and wonderful. They love Natasha. From the time she met Mark, it was always Natasha this, Natasha that. So it's great to have you on today. But now let's talk about you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Or comes in second. That's exactly right. That's that's how to make it work. If it's always one sided, then the marriage won't work or the kids feel left out. So it has to be something. Or when you I'm sure when Natasha, you have to be somewhere.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
mark takes over when you were when your son was home we're a real team it's a team that's what i was going to say you have to be a team especially i mean i didn't have this in my generation but your generations everybody's used to both people working for the most part most couples work whether it be the primary breadwinner or the equally uh putting it in the same amount but
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
you've learned how to do it. And I think you have to respect each other's relationship and business relationships so that you know when to make yours a priority at home and when to say, listen, You have some time, you go about your business. Don't worry, I can handle it. Or I'll make dinner. You do, you have a meeting, go ahead. I'll cover.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
That was not their role.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And it really wasn't anything that anybody thought about. But as the times have gone on and you're equal partners in bringing home the money, you both have to have equal relationships and stand in on certain times when the other one can't. So I think it's very, and also some men now stay home and raise families and the wife is the big friend. That's what you're better at.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I don't think there should be any titles anymore. I really, I'm so happy that the younger generation is doing that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I'm actually surprised to hear you say that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
We keep it here in the family. Excuse my grandma.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Do you agree?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And the article lastly kind of talks about the impact on wellbeing so that the quality of our work or the quality of our life at home really impacts our happiness and life satisfaction. Um, have you seen that it's enhanced or hindered your life at times?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So with maturity, you realize the business in front of you is really what you're enjoying. The others were steps up to that. And that's how I look at life. What you liked when you were in your late 20s or early 30s isn't necessarily where you're going to end up. in your 40s and 50s or 60s in the workforce. So this was a maturing thing. You saw a different pattern.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So I could say the same about you. Well, thank you. Thank you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And now you're really involved with the whole thing that you love and that you can put your stamp on, which I think is great as a CEO. I think it's terrific. You put your own individuality in this.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
What do you remember about the wedding?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
You're getting to understand. It's very hard when you're young to understand that. Yes, it really is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I think the journey is important. And I think the concept of paying your dues and all that. But I also think you don't have to torture yourself in something you don't like and stay in something for longer than you really should.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Oh, my gosh. I just remember how long ago. We were at the Rainbow Room. Right, exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Well, it depends on your circumstances. You know, sometimes you have to pay for your meals or your rent. If you're lucky enough to not have to worry about that, then you don't have to spend one day being tortured.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Doing what you love is a luxury. But it is a luxury. Now we're going to move on to our next segment, Grandma Gail's voicemail. So this is a longer form listener question that we can really give someone a more curated answer from us. And we're going to have your help on that today. So I'm going to play that for us now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
It was beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
okay so to reiterate that um this girl has been dating her boyfriend for five years he's in medical school medical school residency um what can she do to be more accepting of the space of their relationship and what can she ask her partner to make things easier and spend some quality time are you gonna ask me first sure okay firstly i i think she has to understand when you go
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
with somebody who's in the medical profession they are six or seven years of health and that's just the name of the game and if you're willing to uh go with someone for she's been with this gentleman for five years uh she's put the investment in already it it's a very tedious job to be a doctor's wife hopefully she has a job herself so she's busy during the week I would certainly
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
recommend that if she doesn't have a full-time job she better find one because it's a very and I know doctors wives It's a lonely time in the beginning. They have to set up their practice. It's a very difficult time. Unless you're a dermatologist, you're on call all the time. So I think she has to rethink her thinking. Maybe this, I hate to say it, maybe this wasn't the right choice for her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I don't think you just break up with someone because they have a hard job.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
No, it's not a matter of that. It's not a matter. This is a life. A doctor's life is very different than going from 9 to 5 or 9 to 7. It's not like working on Wall Street. He has this is his this is a vocation that he has chosen. And I think that you have to know that you're marrying the medical profession.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So that's why very many doctors wives become their nurses in their office, because then they do see their husbands much more often. They do the scheduling. I know most of the doctors I go to, their wives are working with them in the office of some either as a manager or as something to do with them. And, you know, it's the time that you spend together should be quality time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I don't think that I shouldn't say this because I don't know his schedule, but usually I'm sure he has at least one day off. And I think that's the day they should concentrate just on chilling out and being together, whether it's a walk in the park or just take a little time, go for a swim if you're near the water, maybe cook. each other if you both like to cook and do something together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
All right. It's been amazing. So that's a good journey. We like that. And I also love that she's become pregnant. a woman in business. You know, she started out as a mom too, you know, let's face it. Her primary thing was as a wife and as a a mother, but she's been terrific in business, even just when in the early years supporting Mark. So I worked with my husband.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
But you've put five years in. I hope you know that it's just the beginning.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
How old were you when you met?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Oh, so did my husband.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
We didn't believe in long-term things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
even know where he proposed he proposed i think he took me to a show actually at uh used to be called the americana in new york and we were and he took out he didn't have a ring he was in school and he was in graduate school and he said i want to you know would you marry me whatever and i said to myself well i don't know maybe i should maybe i shouldn't and he said well here's my mother's wellesley ring so i to this day i have it in the vault and i said it's the only time i ever
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And eventually I got it done. Actually, I still have the Wellesley ring and I don't have my first engagement ring.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I watered it. I kept watering it like a plant.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Syracuse. I think what we should tell this girl is you've stuck in here five years. If he really is the one hang in there, but get something to occupy yourself that you really enjoy during the week because his hours are very, very long and they're going to be nighttime as well. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Oh, wow. I need to hear about that for over a decade. How does that differ from what you're doing now?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Which I don't think you should be doing anyway.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So now we're going to do our ask people wrote these in on Instagram and they're a little bit shorter, quicker, more fun questions. What are some non-basic or not boring first date questions? Date questions? First date questions. Ask Natasha. Besides, where are you from? Where did you go to school? What do you do for work?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yeah, but I think everybody has to ask, what do you do for work? At some point, I don't know, unless you're in your early 20s, who cares where you went to school? But I think you do have to know, what do you do for a living? What are your activities? Actually, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I hate that question. You do? I watch reality TV and I go out for dinner. What do you do in your spare time?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
But at 20, well, you can't make up something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Like we wouldn't have had that conversation with somebody else. It just flowed.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And so today, because today nobody would talk on the phone for three hours.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
This was in person or on the phone? No, it was on the phone.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yeah. But I do totally as someone with like a slight social anxiety, you want to be like, OK, I at least can bring up these few things when we're on the dates. What would you say? That's interesting. And I still kind of do this, not with my boyfriend, but like with people I haven't seen in a while.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I'll look at my calendar and be like, okay, what's three things I've done in the last month that was kind of interesting? Because people like storytelling. And I feel like when you're so busy and then you sit down with someone, you're like, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast. But if you kind of do a little prep work before a date of like, I just went on this vacation last month.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I could talk about that. This is also, it could be such bad advice, but, um, I did a really interesting thing at work earlier this week. And, um, my friends and I are going to a Broadway show this weekend. Then those are things you're interested in. You can kind of bring up with them. That's what I would say. Okay. All right. Um, What do you do when your daughter has a boyfriend you don't like?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I think you have to speak up. I really do. I think speak up in the beginning. If there's something really you don't like about them, if it's just the way he parts his hair or the way he wears his shirt or ties his shoe, I don't think that's legitimate. But I think there are absolute things that you might think is negative.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
It might not be that he's right for you in your mother's opinion on many levels. So I think she should speak up early on and then hopefully you listen. I don't think you can keep reiterating it because then you just become a nag and people turn it off. But I do think you should voice your opinion.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
In your case, you were very lucky.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And I was too.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
But I think many daughter-in-laws today are pre-programmed to say whatever you want.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Wait, I don't think so at all. No? I think a lot of people are close with their in-laws. That's good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I think the strained relationships come when those people aren't already close with their family. Like if I know someone, not always obviously, but in the experience I've seen with my friends, if they're close with their parents, Very rarely has a partner come in that's taken them away.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
If anything, I feel like if someone already kind of had a rocky relationship and then someone comes in, maybe it becomes more strained.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
It depends on backgrounds. Because I had my son, I'm just going to say something personal. His first wife really didn't want him to be close with his family or his friends. And there was nothing you could do, no matter what you did for this young woman at the time. And she was young. was what she wanted to do. She wanted him to herself. But they broke up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And I think in all fairness to Natasha, she was the power behind the man. because I remember when that was an early time in your marriage, she was ever present in his business and really knew how to run it. He might've been looking and recruiting, but she was running the nitty gritty. So- Is that how you felt? Kudo to the women.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Uh, and, um, and I did say something by the way, um, prior to the marriage. And of course now, you know, many years later, he says, you know, you were right on the money, but when you're young, especially young, when you're in your thirties, you're no longer you, hopefully you've got some sense, but when you're in your early twenties, be very careful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Listen to your elders, listen to your grandparents, listen to your parents. They've been around the road and they know what's going on. You might not like what they say, but you have to listen.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I don't want to be kicked to the curb. And believe me, they do sometimes, unfortunately.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Last one. Someone said, nail care for ladies of a certain age. Love you both. Oh. I feel like I just...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
well i always i've always you know i have good nails so for those who are listening i do i don't put much polish on it because you always have a manicure i always have polish but i don't i used to love the reds and the pinks and all the different colors but when you're in warm climates some they constantly are chipping so i try to go the easiest way usually with just a pale shade but you don't do any like
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I don't do any false nails or something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yeah. And also you don't take any supplements for your nails or your hair.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I don't take any supplements for anything.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yeah. You always say a vitamin like makes you sick.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
You know, it just agitated something else. Just keep it natural. Keep it simple. Your beauty routines.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yeah. You know, I shouldn't say this. I know, Erin. Actually, do I?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Her other grandmother... This is terrible. She was scratching.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
This was yesterday.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yes. Scratched her ear and her sleep. And she woke up and she thought something went in her ear. Because I said to my daughter, there's maybe a fly or something or a bug went in when you were eating outside. And she went to the local place here and said, oh my gosh, your nail is in your ear.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
No, those must do some kind of nail. And so she was very lucky. They sent her to an ear, nose and throat person. Was it the whole nail? I didn't ask, but it was part of the nail. It was enough. It was enough that she was really not comfortable.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So for those people, be very careful what you use and make sure and make sure if you can to use your own nails, because I think a lot of those acrylics and the things that you put on top, especially the ones you buy in the drugstore, your own nails will be sacrificed in the end.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Does Washington do manicures?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Totally agree. We're going to do a quick round of Grandma Gail's old-fashioned dating quiz.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
We know where Natasha's falling.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
We'll see whether you're more traditional or modern in your thinking when it comes to dating. Okay. Would you rather a call or a text from your husband if it's just to say hi? A call. I love to hear his voice. Oh, that's so nice. Would you sleep with someone on the first date? Absolutely not.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
There you go. So I think that certain things can become private. And so I do think, you know, I'll hear then from a young woman, she'll say,
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
There's so much pressure on making the date. Meanwhile, half the people can't make decisions now because they've got so much on their plate from so many different sources that maybe this one's better than that. It never ends.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Dating apps or setups?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And I also think, you know, in conversation about that, I think because our listeners are all different ages, they're mostly not 19 year olds. I think dating apps are appropriate for older people as well that are not really in a university or in their first, you know, they're in their early 20s. This is mature people that sometimes don't have an ability
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
meet people so the dating apps have a place I'm gonna completely disagree I think they have a place but I don't think it's for people who can't meet people organically but it's hard because it's hard and it's an extra additional way but like I'm a very social person and I went on dating apps like everyone I know I was single I would be very shocked if they told me they weren't on apps
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
it was one drink it was exactly you know it's not the end of the world no i operated that way yeah you do too yeah i know don't forget you started really dating so much during covet and that was very it was just to have a social life because otherwise you didn't you didn't know you couldn't go anywhere right so i think that four years or three years from 20 to 23 you can't sort of lump into normal dating oh you mean 2020 yeah yeah
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And always in my freshly graduated. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Oh, that's what I'm saying.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
She was the Jerry, she was the Renee. Okay, but now you're both.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And they meet people because they really don't know how to do it. They're not going to go hang out in a bar. So this way they can do it with the least amount of embarrassment. So I think it has its place. I think you're right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Okay. Would you move in together before getting engaged or wait until you're engaged or married?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So engaged first. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Interesting. Would one person pay for the date in a relationship or should you split, alternate?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So we'll call you a traditionalist.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Do you have any questions for Grandma Gail? We always like to give our guests that opportunity.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
What do you read? Well, I read all the papers, except for the New York Times. I can't get the New York Times in my house anymore. My husband's put a prohibition on the New York Times.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Wait, do you want me to teach you how to do it on your phone?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I really like, and this goes back to an old fashioned way, I like touching the paper. It's like reading a book. I still like reading a book versus my iPad. Now I use my iPad all the time to play games, but I don't like to do it for either reading a novel or an autobiography, which I love to read about, but I do, read the post religiously. I read the Wall Street Journal every morning.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So, and then I sneak occasionally and read on Sundays because I have to see if any of my people I know died. I do read the op-eds. You go to the obituaries. Immediately on Sunday. So that I have to sneak down and get the paper for.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Well, she's like, I need to make sure I'm not dead.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Exactly. I don't know if you know. We don't know that. They're very strict about confirming it, by the way. So I think that's where, and I really like to listen to different points of view. You know, I was always an independent thinker. I was a history major. I loved politics all my life. I wanted to be a lawyer. That's the difference between my generation and the ones now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And I really do resent it a little bit. My mother said, you're going to get married. There's no career. You went to college. You got your degree. Now go get a husband. So that was just what it was. And I always wanted to, and I could have gone back, of course, which I didn't. But I always found it interesting to listen to all sides and then figure it out for myself.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Exactly, which I think is very exciting. I love that young women today are really doing this and are able to do it versus when I was first married. We sort of we never even thought that the opportunity was there. Many people were qualified and it certainly became more so during the feminist era in the late 70s. But they didn't have the people weren't really doing it as much today.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And I always say to Kimmy, it's not one side. Nobody's got all the answers. There's no politician who's got all the answers. There's no author that has all the answers. Probably the only thing that has all the answers is the Bible. It's probably the Bible, and we haven't read it so carefully. That's why they argue about it all the time. So I think that, Natasha, is the answer.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
You try to be well-read on what's happening in the world.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Because I think it makes you more interested. You can't go to a dinner party and sit there. Oh, what rouge are you wearing? I mean, who cares? But people do do that. I know that. I know that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
You have to have a point of view on what's happening in the world. And whatever it is, whatever point you want to say, as long as you understand what you're saying, you know, don't, Don't quote somebody that you don't agree with. Sort of feel your way through life. And I think you make yourself a more interesting person. And I think you're a fashion icon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Well, that's only become because I'm always... I've always loved fashion, but I've never... Well, my parents were in the fashion business. So I have to say that, that I always had it. We always were... My father had a large company with different brands and different licensees, and they were very famous. And I always saw what looked good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
But what my mother always taught me, and my mother was a beautiful woman, she said, look, wear what looks good on you. Don't wear what looks good on Audrey Hepburn, who's six feet tall, has no bust, and is built like a straight column, and is gorgeous, but that's not your figure. You have an hourglass figure. Wear what looks good on you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So I always think about my mother when I go into a store and I try something on. Would my mother say that looks good on me? I love that. Because it's true. It's true. You have to, you know, I have a granddaughter who's 5'10", and I have a granddaughter who's 5'2", and one that's growing up that's bigger than me already. Each has a different body type.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So look at what it is and see what, you know, looks good on you. There's no point in fitting into something else that isn't your look.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Or you know your body type, but you don't know what looks good on you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Well, but after a while, you should. No, but you like to listen to what other people tell you. You've got everybody asking, should I wear the black dress? Should I wear the blue dress? Should I wear the brown jacket? That's your shtick. You know what looks good on you. And the truth is that's what makes people...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Always wear the same kind of, well, first of all, everybody should wear a little black dress. Everybody's closet should have a little black dress right from there and wear a heel that is appropriate. I think you find your style and it doesn't necessarily have to be your style today, but you'll grow into it. Believe me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And Natasha, you said you were very close with your grandmother as well. Is there any piece of advice she gave you that kind of sticks with you?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I keep saying that. That's why we're so lucky to live in this wonderful country.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I would say probably it's 50-50. I think there are more women in certain fields working now than men, certainly in medicine and law. I mean, they're really out there. So kudos to all the women today. I'm very proud of you all.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Same. We have to go together soon. Road trip. Road trip. And you can follow us at ExcuseMyGrandma or me at Kim Merstein. You can watch the video on YouTube or Spotify, listen on Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we'll see you next week.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yeah, I want to hear a little bit about that journey as a female CEO. Did you feel like there were any hurdles there, kind of as you're saying, or did you actually find any unique opportunities or advantages?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Natasha has been at Blushington for a few years now. So she's gonna talk about that and her roles at Blushington and her journey as a CEO. So, Natasha, thanks for joining us.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Wow.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
It changed my life. Sure. That was the opportunity versus I'm sure you meet a ton of people and have a ton of introductions.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
So you feel like your values kind of have to align with the values of the company.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And you evidently liked the product. The products that they did were clean, natural, I'm sure.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I just went and I felt like it also kind of took away that intimidating aspect of makeup. I think that people can go in. I thought it was gonna be a two hour ordeal and like I wouldn't make it to my event that I had on time. I had so much extra time. I had never been early to anything in my life. but I was early to the event.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yeah, she was great. And I even then said, well, I did my own hair at home. Do you have a few minutes to touch up my hair? And they had a hairstylist do my hair too. I love it. Yeah, you were going to an event that night.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I do remember.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I was going to a Netflix event. I think an important event. Yeah, a screening, a Netflix screening. But Sabrina Carpenter was there, which was cool. She has the best hair. And my team was so excited.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And there's a lot of background here, familial relations, right?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
And also who's coming in and what their reaction is, which I think is very important if they you know, I like the idea that you're out. I can't stand when they labor over each eyelash and each line. For me, Kimmy does great makeup. She's terrific on her own.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Well, that's true because I know Natasha since she's about your age. I've seen her son grow up. I love, love her husband. So crazy. Your brother, actually, he got tickets for him in New Orleans to go to the games.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Well, you're both gorgeous. But I don't. I do it in two seconds. I feel like I'm in the quick zone. Last night, we did something together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
We were just filming a video, like a Get Ready With Me video. And I was like, okay, we'll go step by step and just talk about, we were talking about New Year's resolutions or something. And I was only on like my foundation and she was done. I was done. I'm in your lane.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Nothing else to talk about. I mean, I put a little of this on a little of that because I find that this is something we could talk about as you get older. it's better to have less on your face. I don't know what you agree with.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Because of the lines and all that, the makeup just sinks into those lines and accentuates it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Or is it about the products you're using?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
No, I think it's just basically faces don't do, they're not a clean, like yours is perfectly smooth. Natasha's is perfectly smooth. Mine is not. So you can't put too much on, even no matter what product. The lightest product, you have to be careful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
But can I just say also, I'm not using tons and tons of product. I'm just doing a lot of steps. I know you are. So it's not like I'm using an entire bottle on my face. No, but you're very good with the brushes. I could use a dot, but I want to make sure I'm doing... concealer, foundation, bronzer, contour, blush, lip liner, lipstick, lip gloss. I just like doing all these things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Because you know how to do it. If I do that, first of all, I can't see in the mirrors. So basically, whatever goes on is going on. I have a big issue with, I can never go to certain hotels if they don't have a magnifying thing in the bathroom. Mirror? The boutique hotels for me are out. I'm 40 years too old for boutique hotels.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I'm in, I'm out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I feel like my five minute routine is what I'm using every day. But if I'm going to an event, if I'm going out on Saturday night, if I'm recording a podcast, that's not going to be my five minute routine. Then I'm going to do more. So I kind of feel like it's nice to have at least a few different in your Rolodex. Totally. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
The one, my no makeup makeup, my holiday party look and my date night look or whatever.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Because Mark is friendly with the coach down in Tulane.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
But I don't know. I think, and that's just someone who I love makeup. I think it's fun. Some people don't want all of the steps, but I think it's harder.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
It's harder for some people. You're very good with it. A lot of other people don't.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
It's the TikTok generation. I feel like all I do is look at videos of doing makeup.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yes. And so we have a whole wagon, plus the fact I have a special spot for her in-laws. So it's really a pleasure.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
That's the growing areas. Besides, you know, everyone wants to be in the Sunshine State now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I feel like Boca is going to be so popular.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
It's going to be so popular. And Houston is where all the young people are and the tech people are. It's definitely a terrific market.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Yeah, well, sure. Everything has to be bigger.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
Big in Texas. Big in Texas. And I feel like Blushington has evolved to kind of be called a beauty tech brand. What does that mean to you?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
How did you meet them?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
I met them. It's very interesting, Natasha. I don't even know if you know the story. I don't think so. Your in-laws were very, very friendly with my parents.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
um you know how to transform and it was so collaborative so i always say there's always room yeah right for competitors and try to be collaborative well we came kimmy created this in during kobe because our podcast she was working for a uh new news agency and then everything closed in 2000 tv network yes but
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
i don't think i knew that that's how i met them and my dad was always a um person who worried about the sun and your father-in-law unfortunately exact opposite used to sit in the sun in capri and that's where they used to spend their summers with baby oil and my father used to be running over to him all the time putting a hat on his head doing whatever and from there
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
But I was still working there when I started.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
But it was out of the office. Yeah. So everybody had to create different things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
A lot of things came out of COVID. Out of COVID.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma As We Talk Beauty, Brains, and Business with Natasha Cornstein
A lot of bad things and a lot of good things. That's exactly right.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
And it really, the ones that are the sweetest should be at this time of the year because they're really fresh.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
They're like squashes are at this time of the year. So sometimes when I go to the market, I get really disappointed when I bake one and it's not really great. But usually in October, November, December, they're usually all good. So that is my favorite side.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
It doesn't matter how big a deal we are. We still have some problem with the cameras.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
And with apricots.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Yeah, I think she makes it actually better.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Usually my son, who's a good cook, and my daughter, who's a wonderful cook. We don't cook that much at home because you're not going to make a big brisket or a turkey just for two people for dinner or three people for dinner. So Thanksgiving in our house, which is usually your mom's, we really cook and we really put out all the dishes.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I'll make the sweet potatoes and mom and Jeff will make the rest.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Well, Kimmy is a big parade goer. Yes, I love it. She definitely loves the parade. And I love to watch the parade.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Yeah, but I always watch it on TV because I just love to see the different floats. I think it's great. And the best viewing is either you have to go to the Macy's really down on 34th Street. Or you have to go in somebody's building on the west side and be very high so you can see out and see the floats. And they are fabulous.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
And hopefully the wind isn't too strong because that is an issue with the floats. But they usually, very rarely do we have a problem. But I do love the parade, and I love all things Thanksgiving. We decorate usually with flowers, put some orange flowers and some turkey, little chocolate turkeys around the table. That's always our big decoration.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
but it's just the feeling of being together, all the kids being at home, and this year we have everybody home. Nobody's away at college, so it's really nice.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
And everybody's so excited when you come, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
You like the idea of the house. I didn't think it mattered whether you were in an apartment or a house.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
It doesn't really matter. It's about being with family.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Bye.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Well, I like it, actually. And we do a lot in East Hampton, too. I mean, so it's really three places in your studio.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Right. You're international. You don't know where you are. You don't know what state you're in.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
And it took Kim at least an hour and a half to get these cameras in the right position. We've gotten so spoiled to having other people do this for us that we might have to find a studio in West Palm Beach.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
All the people that work in our building here. When is Kim come? When is Kim come? Well, you see what happens for people who don't know this. I live in an apartment down here. And the Amazon packages come here. And when Kim is here, they come in the groves.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
So they sort of knew you were coming.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Well, it's Sunday.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Exactly. No, they do deliver.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
No, I think there's one in West Palm Beach. I really do think there is so that we get things within hours.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Because I think there's a distribution center somewhere in West Palm Beach.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
If they have the things in stock, they just deliver it. I think we need to really give shout out to Amazon. We love the delivery service.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Well, stuff that you didn't have.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Which I think I bought you. So now you have two things of almond butter. But all right.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
And I didn't realize how many different oat milks they are. You know, Kim loves oat milk. I drink regular milk. She likes the oat milk. And I go, there are about eight different choices, but they didn't have the one that you particularly like, this barista one.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
There's a method to that.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
It fascinates me. How do they get all that milk from a little grain of oat?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
It's going to come out that it's a phony. No, what else would it be? The only place you get milk is from goats or cows. Sheep. No, I don't think sheep get milk, do they? Sheeps. Sheeps. Cheese. Sheep cheese. Goat cheese.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I don't think sheep give cheese, but maybe they do. I don't know. I'm not familiar with sheep in my life, but I know goats for sure.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
All right.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Well, they do everything. I love those Korean, you know, my favorite things on Netflix are the Korean soaps.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
gosh that's worth it that would be worth they must have like a disney world in korea that i should go to because i know all the stars so do you think while we're in florida we can go to disney world i'm not going the last time i went on a disney thing was on a cruise for my 80th birthday where everybody was sick and i don't like the rides you're a lover of those rides i don't really like that so
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
You might have to go on... But the Brightline goes into like... They have the Orlando stop, right?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
It goes directly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Well, you could always go see what's doing in the park. I would go one day just to go for the day. You do a turnaround. Your uncle did that last year. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I think the day you go on the Brightline and then come back late at night, it's no big deal.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
an afternoon well it still takes you over two hours to get there on the timeline so i think if you go in the morning and come back you know before dinner or after dinner you're all right um i'll think about it later i think you should think about it okay let's talk about uh what else we have been up to obviously we came down here but i came down to vote you came down to vote i like to vote in person i'm still i still believe of course you know i'm like the last of the people who believe in this
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
that voting should be done on election day.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I know, I know, but that never used to be. They used to have overseas ballots, especially for the military. That always has been in effect for a very long time. But most of my life, you had to vote on- The first Tuesday in November, election day was election day. Now you got people voting two and three weeks before. So it's very hard.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I don't know. I think you do a pretty good job, but it is difficult. People who don't realize when you watch the podcast... The amount of fidgeting that goes into the lighting and where the cameras are, I have a new respect for all the people who do it for us.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I mean, almost, you know, that you could almost call the president early because of the most of the ballots are in already, which I don't think is fair.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
But I must say, I think that it's time to get everybody together and feel that everybody feels good about the country. We have the greatest country in the world. And we have to realize that people have differing opinions, and that's all right, too. But I'm just hoping that come January, when the new group comes in, that we can work together, get things moving.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
you know a blue state the way we've always thought it was people people were voting their pocketbook very very much their pocketbook which is always the issue that has been the issue for the last 40 years uh you it's all about the economy stupid bill clinton said that a million years ago uh what i wanted to discuss also is
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Well, that's no good. That's no good. Because everybody is going in for different reasons, voting for many different reasons. Some people only voted on it. foreign policies issues. Some people only voted on women's rights. Some people only voted on the economy. Some people only voted on immigration. It depends where you're coming from. And everybody has a right to that decision.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Nobody should say your vote is no good or your vote is no good. And I think At this point, when we get together the next time that we're on for Thanksgiving, we should just be thankful that we're all together. Stop being divisive, even at the dinner table. It's over now. Like when you say it's over an exam, you've taken an exam and you studied and studied all night and you did the best you can.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
No question. You never should give up.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
We used to do it all the time in 2021 when we started, Kim. That's where we started from, mostly at my desk with two chairs. So we're sort of moving it around.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I think that happens all the time.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I think from the start of man, you always look to see somebody who is better than you to either push yourself up socially. So if that was throating, I think that's a very, very common thing in dating. Nobody wants to go down that. in what they feel they're entitled to.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Yeah, I would have always thought it's social status.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
A smart person tends not to want to... date somebody who's not as intelligent as they are.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
So it could be with a lot of things. But I think the other has been going on for, you know, the queens would never date a commoner. We can go back to early times. They always had to date another royal or a commoner. You know, I think that's a very common thing. I don't think that's anything. But I think the new terming of it is cute. Throning. I'm going to think about that. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Who was throned in a relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I hope Taylor Swift won everything.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Right, naturally.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I don't even know any men who sing anymore. I know only women. I think everybody just talks about Beyonce and Taylor Swift. I don't know one man.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Drake.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
It's not on the tip of your tongue, though, those guys.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I left off with Neil Sedaka.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Good for them.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Well, I must say last week I somebody suggested that I. watch the documentary on Martha Stewart. So I did watch that. And she's my contemporary, and I lived through a lot of her successes and, of course, her terrible failures. I liked it very much. I thought it was very revealing, the documentary, and very well done. I gather from the press now, and she went along with it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
She's in it, the whole thing. And she's being spoken to by the interviewer, the producer, the director who's doing the interviewing. She now is mad. She doesn't she because it doesn't really portray her very nicely. I still need to watch it. I think it's very well done. It was interesting. I'm not watching a series yet.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
I was going to put on tonight, which by the time this podcast comes out, everybody would have will be talking about it. is Yellowstone. Everybody is so excited because who they're going to shoot up this season and who's going to die.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
It's very violent, but I love the scenery. I love that whole area of the West. It's so beautiful and they show it so really magnificently and Kevin Costner is always good. So that I'm excited to start watching again. Last year I turned it off in the middle on the other season because I got too upset. Everybody is so mean. They're certainly not sitting around the dining room table talking.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
They had a whole two-page spread in the Times this morning when I looked to see in the obituary if anybody died that I knew, which is my Sunday ritual.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
Everybody was good this week, but I ran into this two-page fold-out, and I know it's going to be a good program.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma on How to Talk to Family about Election Results and Palm Beach Winters
My favorite side dish I think would be sweet potatoes. I love them in every form. That's what you make. Well, but I love the actual potato itself. I make the, you know, what do you call it, souffle with the marshmallows. But I love a good sweet potato. Okay. And it's not that easy. By the way, yams are not the same as sweet potatoes. It's a different form of a potato.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I think it's pretty, but not as a first ring.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I think a traditional first ring and then hopefully you get many rings.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
That's great. Do you, you don't work with your husband?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Oh, my God. I held it long enough.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I knew it was going to come back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I know, but mine's bigger than hers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Used to be more expensive.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
um i feel sorry for everybody that's watching us or listening they're going to go on our instagram oh yeah don't you can find it all i can't wait to see that one
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Right, and oval was very big for a while. I never really loved oval, but a lot of my friends, as they got older, got a bigger ring, they went with the oval. And grandma talked behind your back and said it wasn't. I didn't talk. It's still beautiful. It wouldn't be my choice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
And also a return. I mean, it's still something of value that you have. The other, I mean, may be valuable when you're buying and it looks pretty, but I don't think it has an intrinsic value. I don't think. Maybe it will down the road. And I'm just going to say a cute story. Years and years ago when I was going to get a ring, my friend who sold me my actual ring said, I have the most gorgeous.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
And I was just about 39, going to be 40. I have the most gorgeous pink diamond. And in those days, he was a very large diamond importer, especially from Russia, which I don't think they do anymore. But anyway, my husband called me. He says, he's got a pink diamond for you that is so beautiful. He said, don't you? I said, what am I going to wear with pink? You wear pink so much.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I want you to know that was probably the dumbest thing I ever did in the world because I would be so rich now I wouldn't even talk to anybody. And I didn't buy it. I passed on it and got a white diamond. a clear diamond as, and it's beautiful, but I'm like, I always think about that. How dumb was I?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I think something sold for, uh, at Sotheby's is small, like a six carat for millions and millions of dollars. So, um, I was not meant to be a diamond. You would have been wearing it today with your pink sweater. I would have definitely. And I always wear pink, which is so funny. And pink could literally go with anything. I said it couldn't go with anything.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I told your grandfather, I said, how can I wear pink? It goes with nothing.

Not slightly yellow. You have to have a yellow stone. Slightly yellow is no good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Correct. Yeah. I don't know if the yellows do, but I remember when we were buying, you had to have a GIA certificate. Yes. Because that really told you. And that piece of paper, you never had to show the stone. It was basically, each diamond is different.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
And the stone was really, you know, that piece of paper represented what you want.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Good for her. God bless. Good for her. We know a couple who have that. So good for her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Grandma's answer is mind her own business. But, you know, it depends how intimate she is with this friend. It'll never come across as anything good because if the guy really turns out to be a super guy and changes his mind six months down the road, then the friend has really done a disservice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
So I think if the man is a nice man and not mistreating her friend, she should really mind her own business. But that's my opinion. What about you, Stephanie?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Well, 28, she's wasting her time. But her friend really can't tell her that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I think it's a hard thing to tell.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Well, I think if they're asking, that's a very different slant on the question. Then I would say, you know what? I think he's a nice guy, but it's not really going anywhere. You don't have the same goals for a relationship and maybe you should think through it and put it in that way.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Not that you're denigrating the young man because he could be a really nice person, but he's not really looking for the same end game as she is. That would be my advice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
So I'm going to say I hope we could come back. The problem is the clothes we wear don't work very often. But I have a solution. I put it on if I have a dress. can't wear with my usual sweaters and white shirts during the day. But if I go out at night and put a jacket on, I always put a pin on. If I have a dress and it's, you know, the pins tend to be a little heavy. They're not delicate.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I attach it to the bra so that it stays in place because the pins are so beautiful. I hope they do come back. I don't know if they will. It depends.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Sometimes I've seen the movie actresses put it down. Well, they connect it to the dress. They wear it in a different position than what it's supposed to be. It could be very trendy, but you'd hate to put a very expensive pin on your hip and then it falls off during the evening.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
You saw that. I mean, that's one of the conversations we had about the Oscars the other night. These women are wearing dresses that are hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nobody out there is going to wear those. But you can do like the accessible versions. Yes, you can. But the truth is no one's wearing an emerald choker to go for dinner or to anywhere.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I mean, you know, they're magnificent and all the jewelry. Maybe that brings back chokers. Well, maybe.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I don't I don't think it's going to happen. I think it's very specifically for those high profile women. You know, we're not selling jewelry. I'm sure Stephanie is not looking to sell one piece of jewelry. She's looking to sell a vast community, beautiful things. And so it has to be wearable. Different categories, some are less, some are more, but still wearable.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I love it. Sweet. It's called sweet. Yeah. It used to be called sweets. I don't know. Stephanie knows.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
My grandmother used to like that. How to be a sweet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Yes. Some of them are beautiful. They are truly beautiful. And again, you have to have a place to go in them. So if they're toned down and not the grand ones, then they absolutely could be worn with a shirt, a sweater, a little cotton dress.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Come on, bring it back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I remember it a little bit. I think it was, let me see. I think it was color first, then clarity. Does the order matter? No. Okay. Then I don't know. Think of the shape. Oh, well, that's on a C then. Well, there's a C word for it. Oh, there is? All right. Well, all right. I'm going to hand it over to Stephanie.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
The cut. The cut. The cut refers to the shape. Right, right, right. And what was the fourth? And then the carrot. And the carrot.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
You know, today it's very different. We've talked about this before. From my vantage point, I think the girl should put input in now because, you know, you're basically living together. When I got engaged, nobody did that. And you got what you're looking for. fiance brought you. What your fiance's mother probably picked out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I got engaged with the Wellesley ring, which I've discussed many times and I still have in the vault. And it was the closest I ever got to Wellesley.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
No, it was a blue enamel. It was a Wellesley graduation with little pearls. And I, because my husband was still in school at the time, you know, this is a very different time and he was still in graduate school. So when he got out of school was the day we got married, he got me a ring. I wasn't worried. The ring was coming. You know, there's much more pressure on rings now today.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
We didn't have social media where we were showing everybody our engagement ring. But Stephanie, you tell me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask both of you. Let's say now you're getting engaged and you're living together. Well, maybe not living together. Maybe the ones who don't live together. You see, I always think about this. How much can the young man... afford, that has to be put into the dynamic. Because if he can only afford a certain amount, the girl can't have expectations.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
The expectations have to meet what he actually can put in. And do you ever have a problem with that with your...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
And you say that in front of the girl as well.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
That's what I was thinking because it could be very tricky now. I mean, you know, especially, you know, some girls are going to come in and say, Oh my God, I love this four carat ring. And the poor guy, he only has a certain amount to spend and he's not going to get that. So, uh,
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
No, for me. I have to tell you, I don't even know if they make it anymore. I still have mine. It's like 80 years old. I have a little, it's like a little container. They sell it in the drugstores and they have a brush and you used to brush it out. It's like a Windex almost. And you dip it in and you take it out and it comes out shiny.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Well, then what is she in the fields plowing? I mean, it never should get that dirty. I don't know if she wears it every day. Even if you wear it every day. I mean, once a week you should rinse off. Just because you know why you're also using cream on your hands and all this kind of stuff. Right, Stephanie? Yeah. I don't think you need to send it out unless there's something really seriously.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Would you shower with a necklace on? I do.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
That's the problem.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Well, I have to tell you, Tiffany used to have a little, little clasp, and I have now taken, gone in to my jeweler around the corner. And switched them. a tiny but larger one in. Because the old beautiful ones that are truly, they are prettier and they don't show anything. So it looks like it's all one. As you get older, especially, you can't even see it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
So I do think there could be a way that the jewelers have to figure out a little easier way for women, older women, and also young women who have long nails.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
You don't have a problem with that? You're not worried about that?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
She is. Yeah. She is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I have to tell you very truthfully, the piece of jewelry, and I have several, that I wear all the time and I go to right away is my watch. I have like a series of maybe 10 or 12. that are all beautiful. And I've gotten them over the years for different occasions. I particularly like the Bulgari snake braces.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Well, different colors. I like it. I love the look. I've always loved the snake thing. I don't tend to fall in love with anything really other than that. But I do have little Van Cleef earrings that people who watch our podcast, I wear. Today I didn't wear them because I'm not wearing a gold watch.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I always wear a big – well, I have smaller ones, but I don't wear them anymore because, first of all, I can't see the numbers. The little ones – actually, the watches, the snake watches are very small. So I wouldn't wear those during the day. I usually have a big watch, but I'm in the city now, so I have to be a little less flashy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Nobody knows it's Chanel. The little watches are back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I have a bunch of little ones.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Right. Because that's a big watch.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
You know they're pierced.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I'm going immediately to see her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Yeah. And I also think, Kim, from my point of view, when I see young people, if you're going to a job or you're going out in a big city, you don't necessarily want the big splashy piece that you might have wanted to go out for dinner years ago. So everything is a little more subtle, a little more almost costumey looking. So it doesn't really look real, real.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
You know, the big, beautiful colored earrings. with small stones that, of course, jars from Paris made famous years ago. You're now seeing costume jewelry, and it's fun to wear. I think people are less serious now, Stephanie, in their jewelry. I mean, in the old days, it used to be the big ring and the big studs were something that people aspired to.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Now it's sort of a little bit, you can get five little tiny earrings in your ear and look great.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I'm excited because I love everything she has.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I have the setting still, yes. So you were married to the rose gold and you're still happy with it. So I have shifted away from rose gold.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
Yeah. I did that with mommy and I gave a lot of my mother's jewelry to your mom, but I made it modern so she could wear it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
So it's, you know, they're funny earrings, but they were originally serious earrings, but they've become different. Exactly. You know, it's because you want to pass these things down when you spend. I mean, no matter what time the jewelry was bought, it was always expensive. So you would hope that your children and grandchildren and great grandchildren will have it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
And so all my story is important.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
It doesn't bother me. Some are heavier than others, too. You're right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
So, uh, you know, that, that's the one thing, the ring, a ring you always do wear, you save it for, to go out for dinner that you wear the wedding band, you tend to wear more, you know, every day, whether it be, excuse me, a diamond or a gold or
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
No, it's very, The jewelry that I really still love to wear, and I do wear it, is all the pieces that were handed down from the 40s. I have a lot of deco pieces that I just adore because the workmanship, I have a charm cuff that they were only made for a short period of time in the 40s. And they're beautiful. And it's timeless, just like a ring is really timeless, you know, a solitaire.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
And I remember my mother-in-law, she passed on many years ago, had a beautiful emerald engagement ring. And I always thought, why emerald? She said, because that was my favorite stone. And then she added, as the years went on, and I was married at the time, she added sort of another stone next to it in a regular white diamond.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
So it was a great look. Yeah. I don't know where that ring is. I didn't know. Yeah, what the heck? I think Poppy's brother has that ring because I think they gave it to him to think he was going to get engaged.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
He didn't. Someone's got to find that ring.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Jewelry with Stephanie Gottlieb
I'm sure he's not.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, Pillow Talk and also Doris Day and James Garner. Those were the combinations. Those two men with Doris Day. I think everybody in the 60s and the late 50s were in love with the couples. And we don't have to discuss their- Yes, they built they built a whole series of films together. And it was always, you know, Doris Day being the woman. She was a very strong woman even then.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
She always had a career. She always was doing something that was very specific to her talent, but somehow they always ended up being in love and romantic. And no matter what plot was thrown at them, it always ended up the same. So if you want a brainless, absolutely no brain involved in watching these movies, but very cute. And her clothes are beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
For women who want to go back and see a retrospective of beautiful 60s clothes, that's the films to watch.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
It's the same storyline all the time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, I really think when those were made, nobody was meant to follow into the role of Doris Day or Rock Hudson.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, you fantasize about it now. I mean, and now you see a lot more of those. Those were movies on big screens. And they were not something you'd see on the Hallmark Channel every night. So I think it's a little different in that case. They weren't as frequent. But I don't think that anybody really thought they were going to live the life of Doris Day and Mark Hudson.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
It just wasn't, that was Hollywood. And that was a fun thing. But in its time, I don't think it, I don't even think it would be relevant today.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
But that was all after the 70s.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Nobody knew. Everybody knew that was a farce.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Right. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I have no idea. And some man who's in a studio who's thinking about making money. Because I don't think these things have anything to do with reality. I don't know one person that had a relationship like that. I mean, the women, it wasn't just men. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yeah, who's ever writing it? It's still in the studio somewhere in Hollywood. They're writing stuff that is just not feasible, but it's fun and enjoyable and lighthearted.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
The re-ending is realism. So you don't really want to see that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yes, yes, yes. He wasn't a rabbi in real life. But it was a wonderful show.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
There was a few issues. The mother was the best thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
the relationship itself was actually really healthy so that's like kind of a new wave of let me show you guys a relationship where they don't act like they hate each other they actually well they liked each other but they had a lot of differences right and that was the issue now we're going to be in a second season so we don't know how they're going to resolve it i'm sure somebody's going to convert somebody's going to compromise there's going to be loads of conversation over uh this show uh but that is you know i think
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yeah, I don't think anybody got me flowers. Or maybe Poppy did. You know what? I don't really care. It doesn't matter to me at this point. Everybody's happy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
people will see those things and it's still gonna have a happy ending.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
There are, this is somewhat more realistic. But I hope people who are watching us don't think that all the things they see on the phones and on TV are real. They're fragments of reality. Your reality could be very different from all these things. These are actors and actresses and people writing plays and writing short stories who have an agenda.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Real life doesn't really follow an agenda and you don't always know where it's going to take you. So it's important to look for what you want and what you think is right for you. That's a very important thing in my mind anyway.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yes. Because this is the one you selected. If we can make it louder. OK.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
No, it's nice. You know, I know he cares about me. I don't need any, I don't need those things at this point. I understand our relationship. It's not like we're a newly married couple or a newly engaged couple or dating.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
All right, I'm going to answer this because I think it's so fun. And I had children who did go to college in the South. It is very different. Relationships and manners that men have been brought up with are very different than the big city of New York and probably New Jersey and Chicago.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
If it really, you're never going to get the same kind of feeling because they weren't raised in that kind of atmosphere, the men in the city who really are basically New Yorkers who are aggressive and running around. Even if they're not aggressive, they don't have the same background that your Southern gentlemen have. That's always been the case. The South is always the genteel society.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
If it's very, very important to you, you're gonna have to go back down South. And it's nothing wrong with that. There's an awful lot of wonderful Southern communities where you can get a terrific job and end up with a wonderful man from similar background to yourself.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
It shouldn't be the end-all thing, because there are some terrific young men and women in New York that were raised in New York or big cities. It's just they have a different mindset, a different pace to their lives. So don't give up yet. But if really you find it discouraging, you know what? Pack your bag and go back downstairs.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I don't think it's not no men, it's the men she's met.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I think it's very important. I think she's right. But you know what? Don't give up on New York yet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
No, but he always gets me a card. Yeah. So, I mean, that, which is, you know, fine. That's good enough for me. And... I think you're just not a sappy person.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
You're not his mother. I don't think you can start teaching people manners. I think you can say that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, I don't think they've been taught to do it. It's a learning experience. And I don't think at the age of 30, you're gonna retrain somebody. And I don't think you should, nor should you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I also think a lot of women don't want to have their door open. They feel they're an equal adult. They figure they can open their own door. So it could backfire with a lot of people. If you say this young woman clearly wants that, she has to find a guy that will do it. And there are people out there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I agree with that, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yeah, I think it's nice. No harm in it. It's a bouquet of flowers for $12.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I think it's nice. I don't think it's 100% necessary. I mean, I think could it come back? It would be very nice to come back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yeah, it's not that much of an effort.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Definitely. But this all goes back to what they were trained, what young men are trained to do when they're a very young age.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
He gets one card. He usually buys me two. He's a bigger sport.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yeah. Should be, I should come back. I don't know. I mean, I still, when I go to places, if I come in to a table, people will stand up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, then I don't know. I don't know what the protocol is.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
What do I do? I just try to chill out and remember some really dark days and that things are better now than they were. So there's always dark times and there are always times that you're sad, but you get over it because you know that there's a rainbow out there. There's the other side of the rainbow.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
That he could make a good living.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Because don't forget, I didn't work. Right. And I, you know, I definitely, he was the sole, for 80 years, he was the sole party to make a living. And I, you need a roof over your head. You need food on the table. So that was a very big quality.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I would say still in most relationships, there is one person making the most money and you depend on it. You have children, you have responsibilities.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yes. And you have so many of that. And they go on government assistance and they have, you know, people hopefully who can help them out. It's not an easy life out there if you don't have... the ability to pay your rent. Nobody wants to live in a car. And many, many Americans do live in cars and do live in very substandard housing and have children who grow up without food.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
And so I think we have to know if we're gonna start a relationship with somebody, can we make a good couple to provide for ourselves and a future family? And if you don't see that happening, if a person is lazy or doesn't have any ambition and you don't, and you care about it, then I would run away. How do you feel about situationships?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
All right, we've talked about that recently. No, I think it's too many categories. You're either with somebody or not. I know, you know, once you're really saying, I'm dating you and not dating anybody else, I don't know what kind of situation. You don't have to be, necessarily engaged or living together. But you have to say, you're my boyfriend, you're my girlfriend. I want to be with you alone.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I don't want to still play the field. If somebody still wants to play the field, then don't put a label on that. Just you're not together. Together is together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Right, which is lovely.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
No, you are a girlfriend. Will you be my betrothed? No, no, no, no.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Oh, well, I can't answer that, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I think there are a lot of labels in this thing. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Everybody, think red and have a good time and have a piece of chocolate cake and champagne on us.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, you should. I mean, you have a beautiful place to do it in. So you just have to, it's a lot of effort and you have to really think it through.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Do a special night. You don't need to be about being with a man.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
it's valentine's day it's a day of love you can do it with your children you can do it with your mother you can do with your father whoever uh is available that you love you should do something special with it really uh it doesn't necessarily have to be a partnership uh type of love affair uh love dinner but then you always want like i'm thinking back to 2022 2021 i
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
was always like seeing someone but not enough to date them and it was like i would have wanted to do something for valentine's day but it was never a healthy good relationship i don't think you had so many good choices they weren't so terrific i never had those problems so i i knew everybody i got married so young i didn't have to worry about it and you know what it's fine you you live through it you know you understand
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, people don't like to make a commitment because people make such a big deal about it. Even when I remember going to school, I don't know if they do this anymore, We used to have to bring in enough Valentines for everybody in the class. And you're right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Everything is pink and red.

Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I don't know. My mother used to buy, they used to come in boxes and you used to get like 30 in a little box and you used to write your name on it. So cute. I think they build this holiday up too much. It is a religious holiday, actually. The foundation of Valentine's Day, he was a saint. So I think it's about love and which can be for anything.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
And I think people, my problem with it is that people who aren't in a serious relationship, feel sad. And that's not the way it should be. It should be just a day of happiness. And so I hope all of you do something with somebody you like.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
See, that's the worry.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, probably, first of all, Poppy had a knee operation. So he's sort of been not too going out. He hasn't done very much. But I'm sure we're going to have dinner either with a couple of friends or maybe ourselves.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
And that's where social media, by the way, I think is destructive. You know, there are a lot of wonderful things on social media and I'm enjoying a lot of it. But the truth is, when you start to envy what other people are doing, it becomes bad. And that is why a lot of parents have to watch their younger children, how much time they spend on social media.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Certainly people in their 20s, they're constantly seeing all these beautiful women and their gorgeous bodies all made up. I mean, you know, it's something that most people can't live up to. So on Valentine's Day, it's a time of loving yourself. I'm very big on loving yourself. You should really love yourself. Whatever you are in your relationship scale,
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Go out and treat yourself, even if it's to go buy a book that you've been thinking about or rent a movie that you like. Nobody else has to like it but you. And that would be Valentine's. And it's fine to do that. I'm giving everybody permission, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I hope not, but I think they do. I think people who tend to be on social media tend to post too much. It's a little too much that I need to know about everybody's personal life.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, people like it, but then they like it until they hate it, until they get very aggravated with the person who's posting all these fabulous things. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Oh, that was fun. That was hysterical.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, first describe, give a little background.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Which is terrific. Which down here and even up north you need to put on constantly, but that's beside the point.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
So we had it on a broom. Then we had it on a string. Well, it was on a... Because you have to make it high.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
We were trying. We had it attached to the microwave so it wouldn't move. Then as we sort of got in a position, it wasn't a great position, but it was better than anything we could think of. Then we couldn't get the thing open and we kept banging and banging. Then it opened and what a mess, but it was great fun. And it was fun and it was really good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, it's not necessarily a family.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
And then you're supposed to say, we also gave our aggressions out every time we hit it. Yes. Which was interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Right. Mine wasn't even so much love.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, I don't know if I learned anything. I just think you try to be more tolerant of other people. That's really what You know, you really have to practice. And it's not about love. I love my family. I love many of my friends are wonderful friends. But you have to, you know, you have to work at it a little bit. And it takes effort.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
You just can't just think it's going to happen without any effort. So I think that needs to be really spoken about.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
You're still in relationship phase and beginning relationships.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Oh, well, you know what? I think they used to. But after a while, you have nothing to say. So it's good to have another couple or a couple of couples.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I don't know any of these people, I'm sure. But throw them out, Kim. Give me the names.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Oh, yes. And I love her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I don't know who he is, but I'm sure he's... If it's her choice, I'm sure he's a good guy. Why wouldn't it be her choice? No, I mean, if she picked him out, I'm sure he's a good guy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yeah, a lot better. Yeah, a lot better. But that doesn't mean this is what we often say. You know, a book, you can't love somebody by their outside appearance. It's what's inside. And she certainly did that quality. She sees that quality in him. And I admire her for that. He's not ugly, but she's beautiful. So it's pretty hard to compete with that. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I think they because they realize once it hits the the world and they're all scrutinizing, there's nothing nobody will. Somebody will find something bad. So it's very smart if you're really serious about a relationship to keep most of it private because it's really nobody else's business except you and your family. And once you throw it out to hundreds of millions of people, there's always either
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Someone's picking on something. They didn't like his hair. They didn't like her dress. Too much cleavage, not enough cleavage. So I admire them for keeping it somewhat private. It's good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I was just going to say, probably by the next holiday, which is Easter, they won't even be together. Hopefully not. Hopefully not. Oh, and I was thinking, Kim, do they get real diamonds, not the man-made diamonds? I was thinking of that the other day because they're looking pretty good, those man-made diamonds.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Yeah, we did a lot of Valentine's Day at Bibloque in Palm Beach.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
beach because it's we're always down here and you sometimes come down here that weekend right um so uh it's you know you just go to some pretty place and have a lovely dinner that's really the ritual uh and sometimes we'll have a little kia royale which is champagne with a little grenadine in it and um makes us that's called a kiel royale kiel royale i've never had that so delicious i used to drink it all the time but now i don't drink anymore so if i do it will be a special night
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
I think it's about having dinner at night together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
But the ritual, that's by yourself ritual. But I think aren't they talking about together as a couple rituals?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Well, I also think families need rituals, not only couples. I think families that have rituals, kids are much more responsive to sharing because they feel comfortable in the relationships that they've got.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Date night. I also think the breakfast in bed thing, if it falls on a weekend, is really nice. You serve your, each of you get something that you like together and you sit and you have a chat or whatever you want to do, but have breakfast together, which is nice. Because sometimes in our busy lives, we don't get a chance to really have breakfast together. And
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
and turn off the phones and really be together for one another.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
You get very hammy, Kim. I like that stuff. I know you do, but that's very hard. I don't know any man that does that, but there might be some.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Oh, that's why you like him. Okay, well, that's perfect. I never dated anybody that wanted to write or do an album together. That would have been shocking to me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Valentine's Day, Rituals, and Self-Love
Then I think I have to watch all the Doris Day, Rock Hudson movies once again. So cute.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I think Sarah's inspirational in the sense that young women today can do things from home. They can create wonderful, wonderful things and raise a family, have a relationship that works. All these things, it takes a lot to do all of them together. And you have to get into a comfort zone. And mine came much later on in life. Sarah's is now, her children are now starting to leave the nest.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And so she's creating something that she can really put her imprint on now and really develop her own talents where she was always, I think really in the beginning when you have a young family and you're starting out, most of your effort goes into the family. And now as you get a little bit older and you have a little more time, you can do your own creative thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Of course, it took me 80 years to find that, but it's never too late.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
But it's a good adjustment because many women have to work and don't have the time to give to the children the way Sarah has done and perhaps your mom and the way I did. But it's very important that children know their mothers have something that they do well and they're trying to make a success of whatever it is, whether it's making a cake or doing anything that's their thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And even seeing the failures along the way.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
now self-sufficient in doing something that you love to do this is the difference between us though you're like once excuse me grandma was a business you were like we're doing it and like the whole time i was just like i'll do it for free like i have yeah but i don't yeah it's not in my no i got it i got it so i mean it's fine if you're doing public service then you know and i think you should do that but if you're really putting effort into it and you're putting your time and effort
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I mean, if I get very, very casual, I'll put a T-shirt on.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
It makes you feel good for yourself. You don't have to become Elon Musk. I mean, we don't need to adapt trillions of dollars of profit, but you want to know after all the time that you've put in that it is successful financially. Otherwise you really can't keep doing. I mean, nobody has a bottomless pit where you just can keep doing that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Well, he's definitely wearing the shoe.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Have you ever done this before?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I can't believe this is your soulmate. And he was like, why?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
But that's, but that's at a certain age. I think this is very different. This is a second act. First act, if you told your boyfriend, a 26 or 20 or 30 year old guy, let's go into therapy. He's going to go say, mom, she's nuts. Well, I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And also washing and people were, it was an easier way to take care of their garments because they could wash them and hang them up on the line. They didn't need to have the pressing and the steaming and all that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I think you have other issues when you're when you're have another when you had children and when you have other.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
There's so much to take on as a second part. So in that case, I agree with Sarah. You really do need to talk it out with somebody professional. But I think as a first time around, you should, if you're having so many problems right away, you should just almost move on.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
It always gets back to the mother. It doesn't matter what conversation, it's always the mother.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And they get paid for their images.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I think they get paid for that image. Otherwise, why would the model go to duplicate?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
using ai and taking away it doesn't matter they're going to have to learn different jobs we've discussed this this is the way the future is you can't pull back it's only going to go forward there's going to be a disrupting moment in our time and we will get over it. I mean, your brother's been talking about this for years. I mean, he was a proponent as a kid at 18 years old of AI. So he's right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And we didn't understand it. If I did, I would have put a lot of this talk he talked about. But the truth of the matter is that's the future. Can never look back. We can really never go backwards. Everything is forward. Just like these are forward looking shoes, forward different ideas. We can't go back to wearing platforms. Women are not going to do it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I mean, maybe it'll be for one fashion shoot. Maybe somebody in Paris will wear it. But most people want to go and be comfortable or be part of the new generation, new thinking. Everything is new, including us. I mean, I want to think new. I want to think old stuff. I feel the same exact way as you do. I think it's very important. And I don't think people should worry about the jobs will come.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
We're going to have different types of education. We're not going to learn the same way. Because it's not going to be necessary. You're going to have to look on your phone. You can find out all the information without memorizing what dates in history were important. It's, you know, that's already changed. So I don't think we should worry about it. I think people should look.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Hopefully there'll be new things to be excited about.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And women's roles, basically, being part of the electorate and everything else. They wanted more freedom.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Not for me. I don't like the look.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I think the corset is now, the place for a corset is perhaps now in a wedding gown. And then after that, it's retired.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Opera gloves are definitely a no. But I do know, I see on when the Met has the Costume Institute, the women wear the long black ones. It's a look. It's a look. I don't think for 300 million people they're going to buy opera gloves. But, you know, it doesn't bother me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I had it the last time I made anybody wear it was at your mother's wedding. They wore long white gloves. And it was 84 degrees. And I felt so badly for those girls. I mean, we're talking about 30.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I don't know. I think they were very contrived to all of it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And red wine velvet dresses and long white gloves.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And no air conditioning. And it wasn't the winter. It was not good. That was the last time I ever insisted on long gloves.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
It makes people look... Especially older people, when you don't break up a color palette, you tend to look slimmer.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I think if you're very tall and very thin, it looks very pretty. If you're short and a little stout, it's not a pretty look. I think it's really all about body type. It's all about body type. I like a peplum jacket open too.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Oh, that's becoming very, I'm getting a little tired, but my favorite restaurant in Florida, I think is Still Kitchen in West Palm on Belvedere. Delicious fish and all the ingredients are very, very good. And he's, the chef is there all the time. I think it's good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Well, those are favorites of everybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Well, be authentic. And you don't have that many. You know, if you can count one or two people to be a close friend, you'll be very lucky. And you have to be honest with them and be caring.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
No, I don't think they are. It's just that we didn't have boyfriends as long. Within a couple of months, you would, you know, certainly not when you were a teenager or when you're early 20s. But by the time you were 23, you were already married. I mean, we didn't live with people for two years and have a conversation. Maybe we'll go to the next level next year. I mean, that wasn't heard of.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Yeah, but that was for highly styled. That was Paris and couture people in America. That wasn't the normal. The normal woman in the 50s was wearing a house dress. Yeah. You know, they weren't all working, and the ones who went to work went in probably just very simple little sundress kind of garments with a sweater or jacket.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
First of all, women didn't live outside of their homes. So that's a whole different story. And we really can't really compare. from the 50s, 60s, and even the early 70s.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
No, I don't agree with that. I don't agree with that. I think it's just, you have different, as you get older, you need different things. And when I was younger, it wasn't, you weren't, you were looking for a partner who maybe you would start a family with and say, oh my gosh, he's got a good living. We can do it together and whatever. As you get older, you have different values.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
You want different things out of it. And if you're starting at a 30, it's not the same conversation as when you're 22 or 23. So I think there are plenty of good women out there, plenty of good men out there. It's just, who clicks with you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I still think the man should be the head of the house. I don't care how wonderful the woman is. How do you define head of the house? I think he should be the, well, of course this isn't applicable in many cases today, but still the breadwinner for the most part.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
A woman can have a career, so if they're 50-50 perfect, but the man still should be the father, still should be the person that the children look up to as the ultimate person. The mother is the nurturer, father is the provider. I know it's old fashioned. I still think it works. And I think when you disrupt it, it doesn't always work.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
And then the kids end up suffering because they're not sure who is really heading the ship. Somebody has to run the ship. And you make a decision right in the beginning. You want me to run the ship or you want you to run the ship? Somebody has to run the ship. And I think when there's equal partnering, it doesn't usually work because nothing is ever equal in a relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
50% of the people got divorced.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Well, I don't know if it ever works. I think relationships have to be worked out between two people. And I think when you take away certain innate characteristics, which I have seen with some women, not all women, certainly not you and not you, but a lot of women emasculate a man and make them feel that they're really not.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I hope you're right. Because a lot of women out there are very unhappy in their relationships. And I think a lot of men are unhappy. I think that it used to be a simpler time. And I think now roles are not defined as such. And this has become an issue. I don't know the answer. That's for sure.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Well, that was also rejection to the war. Right. So everybody was sort of a little bit in their protest mode.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Now we've cured everybody. You guys, if there's a person listening to this podcast that isn't cured now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
May I ask how much they retail for? Yes, absolutely. They retail for $380. Okay, so they're pricey, but they're lovely.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I actually love meeting people. I've always loved it. I'm much more outgoing than even Kim. So the part of that I love is like meeting you, meeting other young women, men that have an interesting point of view. This is something I never did. So I'm loving it, enjoying it for what that is. I don't want any of the
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
publicity, the glory of the business, because that's really Kim's creation and her team's creation. It's not, that has nothing to do with me. I come on here, I'm a guest.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Yeah, it's a different mindset because now I know that I'm changing people's attitudes about how older people can do things. And that's one of the messages we always talk about. It's never too late to go do something. I got an opportunity through my granddaughter, but there's so many other women who have got so much to offer when they're older that if given the opportunity, they would be terrific.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Well, we do solve every problem. You do.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Because we've already lived through so many things, these things that you think are so traumatic. when you're in your 20s and 30s and 40s. Really, we've done it. But women didn't talk about it. No. Well, that was a different thing. You know, first of all, the phones have changed everything and nobody talked about their private lives as openly today as, you know, in the old days as they do today.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
So it's for the better. Sometimes it's an oversharing of stuff. But in most cases, I think it's helpful. for other people to hear other issues.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
You know, things cycle around. I think that's why people like to go to thrift stores. They can buy the stuff that was authentic at the time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
So I mean, that was, that was, that was our, Well, that was our dynamic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
The longer you're around, the more you're saved.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Yeah, well, those four years was strictly a loungewear moment.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Well, it depends what kind of industry you're in. Yeah. I think if you're in the financials, they still wear slacks.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
No, but they don't wear loungewear.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Yeah, they wear slacks and probably a jacket or a white man tailored shirt.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Still have to be appropriately dressed. Mm-hmm.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I know it's not, it's running out of stuff though, Kim. I'm going to have to bring some more things into the closet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Most of them are really not pickable.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I do, actually. Just show the cat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
You know? Yeah, well, that's an interesting concept. I'm going to say the other thing. I don't know would you wear this to the office. I think this is much more... wearing around town, going out with friends.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
I like the idea there. You could get them in any color. So the black really is fabulous because it blends into the pants.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
long, you know. Well, they don't, they can't get it. This one picture is worth a thousand words.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Yeah, I usually wear a pair of nice pants. I don't like to wear loungewear.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
You've figured that out by making pretty socks. That's the difference. My socks for my drawer would not look pretty, but these are, these, the cashier ones are beautiful and they're really, it's, it's a very slimming look. I think on everybody. The sock thing is very different and it's fun. And I know it's going to be, it's a terrific, it's going to be a fashion statement.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Cozy Chic and Career Comebacks
Well, it's also I look dumpy in them. So if somebody sees me in sweatpants, I look like a little short balloon, like the Oopa Blueberry Lady. Oopa Loopa. Oopa Hoopa. So I tend to wear them. And, you know, I have a lot of different like little pants that are tailored. They look fine. Yeah. But how is that cozy? To me, they're cozy.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
They were a power couple. I never quite understood if the relationship was beautiful, but I think they certainly did things together.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
She's very smart. I mean, she's, I think, of the two. I put my money on her.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Don't go back too far. There are not too many, Kim. Who were you going to ask me?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Your parents are approved because they were a love affair. They were a love affair. Yeah, they're approved. First of all, I only knew them together. They were never alone.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I know, but that was really her great love. So they were together from when she was 18, almost 19. Yeah, true.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Very little of her life was not with her father.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Right. That's a long time. That's a long time.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
No, they have a very good relationship. But, you know, relationships today are different. They're not the same. It's not necessarily between a man and a woman. It can be two women, two men. I think we didn't see that when I was growing up. But anything where people complement each other and can grow together... to me is a good relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Now? Mm-hmm. Oh, I think he's a nice young man. I don't want to talk about your particular relationship because I think that's too personal. But you just did my parents. Well, they are in a steady relationship. Yours is, you're not married yet. So lots of things can change between relationship and marriage. So the jury's out. The jury's out. Okay. The jury's out.

Well, I haven't watched that much. But when I do, because the kids have all been down, the last couple of weeks. So I've been putting on the last season of Candice Renoir for those which is on Amazon. And it's in French with titles, which I love. I like titles even on the American films because some of the accents of the actors and actresses I don't get.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
So when I see it in writing and I can read it, it makes it much easier.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Yes, for the show. Because, you know, when they get too small, then you're straining to see it because you do need to read it. So I got the largest print on the screen. And it's a detective story, but it's got a love interest and the scenery is beautiful. So it's fun. It's not heavy, heavy murders. They're sort of pleasant murders and they always figure it out, which is fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
And it's the same characters. So it's an interplay of different
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
You definitely wouldn't like Candace Renoir.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
You can do that. You can go right on the Bright Line. It's an hour and 20 minutes right from here.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
People were still coming to the door and greeting parents.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, you know, I have one problem with this. I don't know how old this woman is.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, you know, a girl in her 20s is different than a guy in his 20s. And he might not be emotionally ready to go the next step. So I really can't answer this. If the fellow is a terrific guy and you like him, I'd give it a few more months. I wouldn't close it off after four months.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Depending on your age, if you're over 30 or over 29 to 35 and you're wondering, then I would say goodbye because this is not really going anywhere.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Shoulder pads were a look of the 80s. I do not think those should come back. You know, occasionally people do still wear them because it does make, you know, height on a sweater.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Yeah, in a tailored blazer. But for the most part, it's not a great look.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Those definitely should not come back. And I did wear those. They were adorable. We wore a matching sweater with a poodle. Very, very cute. Needs to stay in the 50s.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
No. They sometimes had horses. But they always had some kind of fun thing on the bottom and on the sweater. Interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I don't even know what the bullet bra is.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I guess I wore those too. I don't think those need to come back.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, that sort of comes in and out. I think that style was very, you know, Sophia Loren. There were people who carried it off and still wear it. I mean, I think you've had them in the past.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, I think they're not the most flattering for the most part.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Right. I think the other thing that we could talk about, Kim, on this in and out is whether destination weddings, because we read an article recently that destination weddings are going out.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
No, they said for 2025 this year, they're going to be less of them. People have gotten over the travel. They're more interested. A lot of people want to do with their hometowns where their families are and it's more places that mean something to them. So that was interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Oh, wow. Well, they're sort of the last tale of it. Potentially.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
A lot of trends. White is sort of out. They're talking about more pastel shades, you know, a lot of drapery, which I think is pretty at a wedding. Very nice. Nothing is out. It's just what the moment is in.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
The people we've met. You know, spending time with Kim and with interesting people has been terrific.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
No. Definitely. Grandma Gail's having enough time worrying about her own family getting in shape. So I think your mother-in-law will be fine.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I'm not so sure I like the modern kind of way it's going, but it's all right.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
that's a male thing I don't think it's your particular mates issue I think a lot of men have a certain set way of seeing things and you know you could try to nudge them gently into a different mode but it's it's sort of difficult people stay entrenched in how they think about things and harder for men than women I actually disagree I think that might be like an older thinking okay um I feel like now in
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, I would say no if I didn't like it. If somebody asked me now, would you like to go skiing, I would have to say no. I don't really like it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
You're going to say no. Yeah. I mean, well, that's a different. A restaurant is not a big deal.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
But if somebody says, I'd like to go to.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, then you have to go yourself and get a friend to take with you. Not everybody's going to, you know, not every couple is going to have common interests. This becomes an issue.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
People who want to have a partner in everything they do, then you better realize before you make the final plunge into the relationship that you understand that if he doesn't like to do what you like to do, you're not going to change people. Sometimes they'll just, you know, a restaurant or... or maybe a destination where you're going, you can compromise on.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
But if somebody wants to sit home on Sunday and watch football, and you want to go to a museum, you're going to have to go find a friend.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Getting up, being thankful, for what you have and giving to others and sharing whatever good fortune you have with your community and with your loved ones. Very important. You can't do it alone. You need a village to have a happy life.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, I always loved black. Although you're wearing blue today. I'm wearing blue today. Well, I'm in the South, so I'm wearing blue. But when I'm in a city, I always feel black goes everywhere. And I think the same about white. White can go everywhere. You can accessorize it with a different color purse or hat or scarf. But the traditional black dress still goes every place you want it to go.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
It can go to work. It can go for dinner.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
They do. You're not going to wear orange in the middle of the winter. Right. And a black dress you can wear no matter what. Or black pants.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
But everybody, I'm glad that you're with us for another wonderful year.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
half an hour or something that it kept flashing and it was very exciting yeah but we're running around running around get it from this angle get it from this angle so the 30 minutes went by it was terrific it was terrific so we had a great time with that and I loved all the trips we did.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I hope everybody had a good holiday season. and enjoyed their families or their friends and their animals. And it's time for 2025.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Yeah, which is really fun for those who don't know the chaos of a fashion week. It holds up the traffic all over, but we had a great time doing it, wearing outfits that are... collaborators gave us, and we really had a good time with that.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
We were walking around East Hampton in pajamas, which was always fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
And Lancome helped us give, you know, we had little goodie bags for everybody. So, you know, everybody has been very supportive of us and we're very thankful for all of them.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
It was in an old hotel, which I would not recommend, so I'm not even going to give them any publicity. They had a step going from the entryway to the bedroom, and I was carrying something in my hand, and it was all the same color marble, and I absolutely did not see the step. And I fell flat on my face, and it was a mess. And I called Kimmy. I said, you better come over.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
She said, Mom, what are you doing? I said, oh, we've got to go to the hospital. She thought I was joking.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Exactly. We were supposed to be going to Venice the next day, which is, of course, my favorite place, one of my favorite places to go. And that was called off. But we had a very nice doctor on our second try in the second hospital we went to. Because you cannot get sick in any city, but especially in Rome, Friday night, they're all home. And they leave the offices early.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
So anyway, all worked out. It was all fine. But we did cut the trip short. But they were wonderful. Focus Beaches actually was terrific and helped us a lot.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
We were all on for me, uh, three generations.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. We were buying, what do they call those? Not lottery tickets. What was it? The, gosh.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
But it's not lottery. It was something, mega something. And so we all bought it for each other and we discussed what we were going to do with all our hundreds of millions and we got nothing. I think somebody won $4, which was a big event.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
No, the second time. Yeah, yeah. The first night, they didn't win. The second night, we also bought the tickets again.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I'll call you when I want you to visit. Poppy was so offended. That's too bad. I'm on my own in the old city.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I don't know. Well, luckily we didn't, unfortunately we didn't win or luckily we didn't win.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
And that was very interesting. I mean, I don't think I remember when it fell on exactly the same day. It's usually right around the same time. But this was coincidentally the same exact time. So that was fun. Everybody had the Christmas trees up and the menorahs up and everything else up.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Palm Beach is very festive when it comes to... A lot of holiday decorations on all the stories, which makes it fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, it's going to be different. So you're going to tell us if you love each segment or what you like the best. So we're looking forward to this new format.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, I don't think they were eating, the Maccabees were eating any of those things. They certainly weren't eating latkes in those days.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I think that's just come from over the years. It becomes traditional when you keep doing it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I don't think in the temple they were grating the potatoes. Maybe not. They only had enough oil for the eight nights, so they certainly weren't going to cook the potato pancakes.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, you know what my feeling on these reality shows, Kim, that most of it's made up. So if you do end up in a relationship together, it doesn't last because they are really creatures.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
They're in the same world, Kim, which is really almost an unreal world. And it's hard to make a relationship last when you've got people
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
That's true, Kim. What do you get for four years? Is that half a paper? I don't know what four years is.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, being long distance is a very hard way to keep up a relationship. It doesn't usually work. It can, but it usually doesn't. And I think after a year of being with somebody, if one of the people want to get
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Sad news of 2024 was that we did lose President Carter, who died on his 100th year, so that's almost a blessing, I mean, really, to live that long. He wasn't such a great president, except he did sign the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, which was his major accomplishment. Unfortunately, he was mired down with...
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
What's a paper? Paper is, I think, first one year. But what do you mean paper? What does that mean? Somebody gives you a piece of paper, a book or something, paper. Well, you haven't had a one-year anniversary, so you don't have to worry.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
The hostages in Iran, they took our Americans and they were not released until President Reagan came into office. And I have a feeling very much what's gonna happen now, hopefully the Israeli hostages that have been kept in the tunnels under Biden's administration, not really going in and getting them out. I think it'll change now that Trump is coming in.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
So I hope, I'm hoping that they will get that out. But he was most known for his love affair with his wife. And that was truly a love affair. They were both from Plains, Georgia. How do you know?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I did vote for him. Unfortunately, he didn't do it. The inflation was tremendous and the oil prices went crazy. I do remember... because I was married at this point, waiting on line for gas. Nobody would even believe this in today's generation, especially now we have so many electric cars where you just plug in.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
But in those days, we were completely dependent on oil, and they stopped shipping the oil to us. Iran was our major supplier, and we were basically almost at war with them. So the lines would be, you would stand on line to fill up your tank. I don't even think we were allowed to fill up the tank. I think we could do it halfway. I don't remember that exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
But I remember sitting in the gas station in the country and waiting for over an hour to get to my turn. And that's crazy. Yeah. You know, it was a terrible thing. And you have to remember all the things that were connected in those days by gasoline. I mean, your heating in your house and your all your food products that use it to cook.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Whatever it was, the inflation was wild and people were very, very he was certainly not reelected. He went down in a. But he did die. I want to remember him. He was a great humanitarian. He spent his entire life trying to save poor people in Africa, all underprivileged people. So I think he was better as a post-president.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Is his wife alive? She died. She died this past year.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, it depends. They might not give them a piece of paper. They're not giving them a prenup. They might give them a book or something that's along those lines. Has paper in it. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
They were both in hospice together, which was very interesting. You know, it was the end of their lives. They both reached, I think she wasn't quite 100, but she was, you know, in her late 90s. Wow. And Rosalind. And she was a wonderful first lady. Everybody admired her. But the most important thing she did was she adored her husband, and she was always by his side.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Their relationship was 100% approved. If you can find a relationship like that with another person, you're just a very lucky individual. They went hand in hand through their entire life. And they had one child, Amy, who is a child. She must be in her late 70s at this point.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Oh, there are some, but not a lot. We've had a lot of dysfunctional relationships in the president and the White House.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
Well, you can't remember it, no. I don't think. I think Ronald Reagan and Nancy were a very close relationship.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
There were always issues, and we found out about it later. But for the most part, the presidents don't have a great home life. For many reasons. They're very, very outward-going people. They're constantly with people that are praising them.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma’s New Look for 2025
I don't even know if it's money. It's more power and fame and celebrity. No, I should say, you know, probably had a good relationship, but I don't know. They didn't call me in to talk about it, is Barack and Michelle Obama.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Very few people die in a bunk bed.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
No. Grandma doesn't even like sharing a room with her husband. So... I mean, you know, that's the truth, but I, but I, I think, I think this is, it makes very good television. It's fun. And, uh, hopefully, you know, Joan will find somebody from the group, these group of very nice men and be happy. And that's the, I think everybody watching it wants you to be happy.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
That's the way I get the program. Uh, it's not more, you know, sometimes there's a lot of backstabbing. This doesn't really seem to be that. And I like that.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Well, I hear that all the time, Kim, from the questions that we get, and several people have that. I did not have that, and I think it's a blessing not to. I mean, some are just overly involved in their children's lives, and it can be very difficult for them. For the man as well as the woman, it can come from either side. So I really, I feel badly for it.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
I think you almost have to bite your tongue because it is your spouse's mother and try to grit and bear it. And if it becomes terrible, I think you have to say something to your mate. Joan, what do you think?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Well, I never knew. I have a natural diamond. I don't know anymore. You know, I don't think you can tell the difference.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
It's a lot of money, a difference. I think for a first time ring, it should be a natural. I think your love is natural and good. And I think no matter the size, I mean, I don't think it matters what size or shape. I think it should just be a token of love. So I would say go with the natural. But you know what? Whatever floats your boat, that's up to the couple.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Well, you know, what I feel about your generation is constantly everybody needs more time. I mean, if you're in love with your spouse, I'm gathering they're married, and they're financially able to have a family, I think a lot of it really in this day and age, you have to be able to provide. And if the two of you together can provide, there should be no reason.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Some people are not emotionally ready, and they're smart to say that to their spouse. But I think that should be also discussed before you get married. You know, are children coming along quickly? Because it's not like when we got married at 20 or 18, 19, 20, we knew we were going to have children. That was part of the plan. We didn't have an IUD. No, it wasn't even that. That was the way...
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
things worked in our world, in America or wherever we were. So you had children, you had a family, and you managed. But now, because both partners are usually working, it could be a little more difficult. And I think it has to be discussed prior to getting married.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Those things would really be discussed first.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
I think you're right. In a way, Joan has a more difficult situation because she's got family and everybody has to fit into a good circle together.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Yeah. A little bit of moderate in there, Joe. I'll have to work on you a little bit.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Now, are you located in your life in California or are you in Maryland? Oh, in Maryland. So whatever it is, you're staying in Maryland.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Now the program is now finished, I guess, technically. It's not finished. The filming. It's not finished for us to watch, but it's... So have you... I don't even know if I should ask this question. Did you find love?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Yeah, I definitely would. I think everybody has a chance to have another life. Nobody, you know, I think it's very important. It's just a matter of timing when you yourself are able to do it. And I think this is what Joan is now at the ability to take another partner. It doesn't have to be the same as her first partner. It's just a new phase. And that's and it's very healthy, I think.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
It must be a little difficult because, you know, you're certainly younger than I, but you've had a prior life and a happy marriage and you have a family. So is this a different kind of finding a relationship? You know you're not having children, I don't think. You're trying to go into the golden years with someone you're having fun with. Is it strange to do? I mean, how difficult is it?
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Yeah, that was that was that's over the top. You're not having that. Yeah, fine. That's not happening to you.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
I don't want to discuss those shows with you, Kim, because I think half of them come off terribly, especially for the women. I'm not a lover of it. But in Joan's case, these are more mature people that you're watching, and I find it much better. I find it much less... uncomfortable for me because I see that, you know, they're smart. They all have careers.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
They've got, most of them have families and they want to be respectful of each other. And I like that better. I mean, I'm not big on the younger ones. I know you like that. Of course I do. Of course you do.
Excuse My Grandma
Please Excuse My Grandma and the Golden Bachelorette
Because I have a lot of friends going through it now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, we all know them. We know them, but we can't help but doing some of these things. So, you know, it is an issue. But then we have on the other spectrum, we have a woman who'll go on, she's 110 and she ate a pastrami sandwich every day. So, you know what, we have to just live moderately. I think that's the answer and do as much exercise and try to eat healthy if we can.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, because you have somebody to talk to. That stands to, I agree with that. People who are alone or isolated usually and not as in tune with themselves, their brains sort of get sluggish because they have no one to have a conversation with, like you and I are having.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Which is interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah. Which is interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
And then eventually if you freeze yourself, they're going to come up with something. I don't know if I would freeze myself when I was old. I don't want to come back and experience anything. But they're going to come out with things. I don't know how that works. I don't know. Then you're going to have all these people inhabiting the world. Nobody's ever going to die. That's been a theory for years.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I think we're a long way off from that. But good luck to him.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Well, we're certainly having fun being founders and people actually find us all over the place. So we're really significantly being found. So good luck to all the new people who are starting out. It's a great journey.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
You know what? I was just looking at it. They were talking about what you're talking about. It's very much about a health thing this season. Like one season, it was about jobs. One season was about something else, the theme. And they're saying that this one is going to be more. It's about exercise and keeping healthy, which is going to run through the whole season. So I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Is anybody doing that? Is anybody exercising?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, I think that's what they were saying. Something healthy body.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
This is a tangled web. You know, we've had these stories. There was, I think there was actually a TV show or some movie where they exchanged husbands and how the families reacted. You know what? I'm sure the guy didn't do it on purpose or maybe he did.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Exactly. I don't think the sister should have gone along with the kiss. She should have stopped and say, I think you have the wrong person. But she enjoyed the kiss. So I think she was right. I think she was right to tell the sister that I think your boyfriend kissed me by mistake. And then her conscience is clear. She didn't go after him after that. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yes. Well, I think women really should feel proud of themselves. No matter where you are in the work cycle, always look ahead. There's always something that will change and never give up hope. There's always a little bit of a setback and then you go forward a couple of steps. Don't worry about the bumps in the road.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
It's been bothering her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Exactly. Exactly. It never works out. So do your own thing. And hopefully, because it's more important to have a good relationship with your sister. Don't, especially, you know, it's like, that's the goal. You don't want to take over anything that she believes is hers and vice versa. And I'm sure you've had a good life with somebody else.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
No. It was silly even when we said it. Basically, it was, you know, you're doing that kind of behavior, you're going to get punished. I don't think that's a necessary thing to go back to that slang. Don't love that.
Excuse My Grandma

No, I don't think that was. You know what? I don't remember what that bash was. It was a big all-out, blowout celebration, but I don't know if that's the way that was used, the slang. I'm not sure. I never called anything a bash.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
A misbehaving child? I never heard of these things in the 50s.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Oh, all right. Well, maybe we didn't have any. We had misbehaviors in our house, so we usually got smacked in the backside for misbehaving.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Oh, yeah. Well, that was everybody would say, oh, my God, he's so handsome. He's like a dreamboat. You could bring him back. I think that's cute to bring back. It's cute. It's cute. Can't hurt anybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I don't think that slang is necessary either. There's nothing terrific about that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yes. Yes. But we like the warm weather. And my husband used to come down on the weekends and I stayed down here. And then when my kids came home from school, they would come down here. So we basically stayed six months for a very long time before we became, yeah, in our early 40s. But we were very happy here. We had family here. We had community here. And we just liked it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Really, if you persevere, you're going to make it because women are powerful and we're smart. And we can do it. I love that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Well, just go for something a little different for a change. If you're always like I am, always wearing black or white, go for the pink. Experiment. Don't go with an expensive experiment. Get something that's not too expensive. Put it on. See if you like the color or a belt, perhaps, that you would not normally do. But keep it on the low price range.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
So then if you don't like it, you'll gift it to somebody else without feeling guilty.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Um, I think the little black dress is always here. It's still my favorite thing. I don't really have a trend that that would come back that I'm not already wearing. I like the casualness that we have today. I don't really love the formality that we used to have in the 60s and 70s. The big dress, the big outfit. I'm much happier with the more casual things that people wear today.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I think it's just easier.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, well, Schiaparelli and a whole group of Dior. But it's not something that people are going to wear regularly. even to a party themselves. Those are spectacular couture gowns that for maybe $30,000 a dress or more that these designers make specifically for these stars. And we would have no place to go. I mean, honestly, I often think about that. Where do they wear it?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
You could never wear that in real life. There's no possible place except the Met Costume Ball, which we don't go to.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Well, I think everybody should be hopeful that there's always going to be a good person out there. Sometimes you have to go through an awful lot of bad dates before you get a good one. And it doesn't, you know, just stay hopeful. Don't make so much out of it. Enjoy yourselves when you're out. If you don't like somebody, move on. It's not the end of the world.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I know. Well, we're still talking about our birthday dinner that we had at the beautiful New Milos.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
And don't get stuck in a relationship like I see so many women today. They wait and they stay there so long and then it's uncomfortable getting out. If you see that this isn't going where you want it to go, just get out of it. There are a million fish in the sea.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Bye, everyone.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Oh, your birthday dinner. Well, we were all part of the birthday dinner. And so that was really a beautiful new building. They're building so many new buildings in West Palm Beach here. It's going to look, it is already a big city, but it's going to even be more so.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
So you'll be surprised those people who come down here for the first time, when you would think it was a small little community, it's tremendous. And all the young people who are moving here are
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
uh with families and new schools are opening and new hospitals are being created vanderbilt is opening a business school in west palm so they're going to have lots of new people here creating new jobs and um it's a very exciting place to be young and and here at this point i'm already over it i'm just aggravated with the traffic but for young people who are starting out in life this is going to be a very very viable community
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
But it's really expensive.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
The one in it's very pretty. The one in Miami, I think, is the prettiest of them all and delicious. Oh, yeah. It was the I ate there several years ago. It's delicious with my girlfriends. We had such a delicious dinner. No, they do a good job. I think the one here needs to get their act a little bit more together. I ordered lamb chops and got rack of lamb. But they were very good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
You just got more than what you ordered. Exactly. I got more than what I bargained for in that. But they didn't charge us. They were very nice. And they put it all in the middle of the table. There was more than enough food. We could have fed an army at the end of the dinner. And the dessert, I love that dessert.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, it was delicious. That was the best thing. I loved it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Oh, sure. It's only taken us three hours. We can't get it going still. But hopefully you can hear both of us clearly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
That's there. That's their modus operandi because they charge you by the pound. And that's when it gets very expensive. So if you order on the menu, not the big fishes, it can be really much difference in price for those who want to watch their budget and still want to go to the restaurant, order actual dishes on the menu. Don't order the big fish.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
You know, that's what they're known for.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I don't know. I think you overdue your birthday. We celebrated. We blew, you blew out a candle. You got plenty of flowers. You got lovely gifts. It's enough. It's enough.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Well, you better hurry up because New York, I know, is very, very busy. There's so many new restaurants down near your brother's area in that Houston area on the Lower East Side. I'm sure you probably can't get into any of them anyway.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I think everywhere uptown is is trendy and relevant. Now I'm going to try to get into that Laveau door, which everybody is raving about, which is a redo of an old fashioned French bistro. And they said the food, the reviews were great. And I understand you can't get in there either. And that's in the 60s. That's in Midtown.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I'm telling you, I may as well just stay in Florida. I can't get in here and I can't get in there up, up in, um, New York either. Just to learn to cook. Oh, I know how to cook, but I can't. Nobody wants brisket anymore. So forget that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
A lot of cords. A lot of changing the mics. A lot of mic changes. Okay, let's try it, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Well, it was very interesting. I was playing cards the other day and a woman said, my granddaughter met somebody in New Jersey. They're having, I guess a rabbi is setting it up. We're on Friday nights. They're like 12 people, single people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
They invite for an intimate Shabbat dinner and they've gotten three marriages out of it because people really have often said to us, where do you meet somebody? Whether it be your church or your synagogue or some community, you have to organize something.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, even if you're not religious, just go. Sometimes you find something that's really interesting and you find someone that's interesting to talk to.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Well, you haven't missed anything. There's been chaos around the world. We don't know if the tariffs which went in this week are going to matter. I'm hoping that doesn't cause too much disturbance in the marketplace. The price of the eggs have nothing to do with the tariff. That's got the chickens in the Midwest. But we've got a lot of things that we do get by.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
And whether the prices are going to go up now, you know, family incomes are pretty static. And if the prices go up too much, it's going to be they're going to feel hurt. But we're hoping that these countries become fairer to us. And I think that's the eventual goal. But it's certainly going to be an interesting week for those.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I know, but I can afford to get somebody to help me. If you gave me a heads up, I would have had somebody come up and really professionally do this. It's you don't know which cord to put in which place. And it's it's a lot of stuff. I give kudos to all the engineers who do this all the time. It wasn't meant for Grandma Gail.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I don't think you're going to feel the price differences on anything yet. You know what I want to do, Kim, when I come back to you? I want to order those bags on Amazon and on the TikTok shop, the copies of the Kelly, which is now, I think, $34.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I know, but I want to show, because everybody shows on their Instagram.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
No, but I want to compare it to a $34 one. It looks pretty good. It looks pretty good. So I think when I come back home, we're going to do that. I want a white one. Small white one.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Right. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
No, I didn't watch the Oscars. I'm actually I watched a bit of it. I turned it on for one second and was very annoyed. I think Hollywood has gone crazy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Oh, no, no. There was a movie. No, there was a movie. They they they criticized Israel and it was done by an Israeli and an Arab Palestinian. Yeah. I found that very disturbing. I thought he said there's no room for hate or anti-Semitism.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I watched it. Well, he said no hate, but he criticized our government. I really don't think this is their job to criticize the government of the United States or the government of any country. They're supposed to entertain us. And unless they entertain us...
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I think it did. I don't think it won any of the big awards.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, exactly. That's pretty pathetic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Okay, well, that was good. Well, they threw him a bone, but that was a big production. And they got this little Enora, which was a little sleeper movie, won everything, which I'm going to watch. I'm hoping it's on Netflix. Was it good?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
That's what they were saying.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Okay, so there's your answer. One of the editorials in the paper I was reading in the last day or so said that this is a message to the Academy that the little indie films are really taking over. We don't need these big productions, which in a way is sad because we love the big productions on the screen. But they're not going to, you know, they're there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, but they should get the awards.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
There should be a special category for up and coming artists. But this is up and coming. Not when you win the Academy Award. That's not up and coming.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
We've gotten lazy, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
So that's. You know, I almost think that the Academy Awards are gone. I don't really care. I don't think most of America cares. They're watching the red carpet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, that's they lie. Oh, I don't I don't think people are watching.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Kim, I have a feeling I have to disagree, but it's all right. I think it's wonderful. I think it's great that everybody's watching social media and that everybody is watching the Academy Awards, but nobody cares about the movies. So that's the bottom line. Or they'd be going back to the movie theaters, which you don't even see these movies in. Most of them go right to Netflix or Amazon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
So they are in theaters. A few weeks is nothing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
They don't sell much popcorn and licorice in the theaters after two weeks.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Oh gosh, let's hear this.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
Yeah, because they don't have the proper medical care. I mean, that just stands to reason. And people who are on the lower income don't have the same availability to doctors of any sort. So, I mean, that's a problem we have. And the cost of medicine is going way up and prescriptions and all these things. People are saving money. They're splitting their medications to save money.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma While We Talk Oscars and International Women’s Day
There's a big health issue in America. And we're going to have to come to grips with in the next couple of years. Medication prices definitely have to get lower. because people can't afford their meds.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
She ruined the darn chicken salad out in the Hamptons, that's for sure.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Das ist einfach so. Das kostet ein paar Tausend Dollar zwischen den Restaurants und allen Aktivitäten, die man gehen möchte. Es ist sehr hoch. Ich glaube, nur auf den Busen kostet es 60 oder 70 Dollar. Es ist also kein leckeres Wochenende. Es sollte leichter gemacht werden, wenn du dein Geld und deine Ersatzkonto jetzt schaust.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
So I think that if you don't care and you have plenty, you've made plenty, a lot of people are doing very well right now in the economy. It doesn't apply to everybody. So those people, you know, don't feel the pressure. For me, I think if I was spending that kind of money, I might do something else. Go to Niagara Falls for a change.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
You did? Oh, I thought it was beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
But I think it's too much hype. I think some restaurant that I happened to want to go to this week, somebody told me there were 1,500 people on the wait list. And it's a hamburger place and a lobster roll. The new hedges. The new hedges. Swifties. They said 1,500 people. That's crazy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
I know, but I've been there. It's not the Hamptons one. No, but I've been to Swifties in Florida. It's a new thing. Everybody wants to try it. So I, you know what? I think it's funny. I'm going to wait. I'm certainly not putting myself on a list with 1500 other people. I don't care that much.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Still good. Their muffins, I wouldn't get the chicken salad though, because I'm tired of looking at the chicken salad. But I think the muffins are so good. All the baked stuff is fabulous. But overpriced. Overpriced. You know you're going to go in there and pay $18, $20 for six muffins. I think it's worth it. All right. Ich stimme zu, aber die Joghurtstunde ist gut. Das ist gut.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Ich glaube nicht, dass alles so gut ist. Es ist ein Hype an diesem Punkt. Ich stimme zu. Ich meine, es wird seltsam. Ich glaube nicht, dass alles gut ist. Ich meine, du gehst da hin und dann sagst du, oh Gott, das ist nicht wirklich, was ich dachte, es wäre. Ich meine, es ist gut. Verstehe dich nicht verrückt, Leute.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Well, it's not that you're not clean. No, I'm clean. You just leave everything all over. You need a valet. You take off 400 outfits and they are where they are.

Gilt Hall ist immer noch eine große Sache. Und ich liebe das Theater, das Bay Street Theater. Und das ist sehr, sehr schön. Und was ich liebe, ist das neue kleine Filmtheater in Sag Harbor.

Aber, weißt du, für Menschen, die mit Kindern verheiratet sind, ist es lustig, die Kinder zu einem Film zu nehmen und dann einen Eisbecken an die Millionen verschiedenen Eisbecken, den Scoop und die Millionen von Plätzen, die wir jetzt haben, die über den Ostenden gepoppt sind. Ja. Und das kann sein. Es ist lustig. Nicht alles muss über den Top sein. Und die Plätze sind immer noch sehr frei.

And he's my chauffeur, just like you. Well, that's chauffeuring. Well, L.A., that's the one thing I can honestly say that I wouldn't like living in L.A. Everything is in your car. So it's not like in New York where you can walk outside or in a lot of cities.

Oh, really? Yes. Candy is all over the Hamptons. I mean, we're very big on eating candy out there. Why? Where else besides Dylan? Oh, every place has candy. Round Swamp has all the different candy. I mean, they have little gourmet. My store, the Monogram Shop, has the most delicious like bridge mixes. You know, candy is something that people love. And also bring us house gifts.

Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
It's all over the place. Every Hampton has a Goldberg. One of the new one in Watermill, right in that little shopping center. There's one in East Hampton. Goldberg's wherever you live. And they make delicious... All the spreads and the bagels are fabulous. And some of them actually have delicious salads as well, chicken salad, tuna salad. So that's a must for the weekend.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
I like the Seafood Shop in Bridgehampton. They have wonderful, if you want, lobsters and bring them home, not to go to a restaurant. If you're going to have a couple of people for dinner, they'll make them for you. You can pick them up. Und ihre Curry-Chicken-Salat ist lecker. Ich denke an das immer. Und die Braten, Armin und Judy, beste Baguettes überall, außer in Paris.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Also, ihre Braten sind lecker. Und du musst nicht die Bank brechen an einigen dieser Orte. Du kannst ein bisschen kreativ sein. Und Käse ist überall. Wunderschöne Cheese-Shops, wunderschöne Cheese-Shops.

Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Ein kleines Cheese-Shop. Eine Cariavela. Etwas so. Ja, in Sag Harbor.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons

And Boswicks in East Hampton. And it's fun to go. If you can get in. You gotta stand on line, guys. Be prepared in the Hamptons. A lot of them don't take reservations. You're gonna stand. And if you don't like to stand, don't go to these places.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
That's what people like to do. It's fun to do it. Even with six people, you throw things on the grill and you make a salad and it's the greatest night and you can sit outside the air. I'll tell you what's great about the Hamptons. Okay. And that's what you should be going out there to do.
Excuse My Grandma

Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Great suggestion. And you know what? There are more. So you just have to be a little adventurous and don't follow what everybody else is doing. Just go off the beaten path. And there's no problem with that because there's so many cute little things to do out there that you'll find a whole new Hamptons for yourself. You don't have to follow the crowd.

Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
In der Hampton. There are probably a lot of B&Bs that I don't know about. You've got to look on one of these apps and see really where it is, where they are. Montauk has lots of little places where you could go that are less expensive. Actually, they're probably not less anymore. Yeah, probably more now. Oh, and loads of them, by the way, in Barron's Cove. Loads of them in Sag Harbor.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Which is the most charming of all the towns now, guys who are listening. That's the only authentic town left where it still has the boats coming in and the harbor and the little mom and pop stores. Probably in another two years, they won't be around anymore either. So if you're going to go want to see something authentic Hamptons, go to Sag Harbor. They still have a five and dime store.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
I do remember it. I do remember it, but it's no longer there. Oh. Do you ever see celebrities? All the time, but nobody bothers. You know, people, that's the one good thing. And I'm sure that's the same in any place where these people live. They want their privacy and really nobody intrudes on it. Or at least I've never seen anybody intrude on it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Yeah, well, they're in their cars. Right, they're in their cars. They're having a nervous breakdown. They're in their cars in traffic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Thank you. I am answering your question. First of all, a lot of those stores are by appointment only. That's because of lots of issues, because of COVID, because they have issues with staffing and they don't have enough salespeople. So they keep down the amount of people to the minimum.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
However, when somebody comes in and I saw an article on exactly what she's talking about, the girl was taken back with, how are you? Everybody was shocked. I think you should say to the salesperson, if somebody does say it, I'd love to walk around and just look and see what's in the store. But a lot of times they don't want you to do that, which is very interesting in the stores now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Es hängt davon ab, wo Sie sind und welcher Art von Shop. Ich denke, wenn es ein sehr hochwertiger Shop ist, wie ein Cartier oder ein Tiffany oder einer davon, wissen Sie was?

Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
And it's wonderful for an entrepreneur, for women to get this as a role model. However, I don't think the message is that everybody who starts a business is going to get a billion dollar contract or have their company bought out. This is one in a trillion that has this kind of success story. And it's very exciting. It's great to give her kudos on it.

I haven't watched anything this week because I've been busy watching the Knicks. And of course they lost, so that was a terrible thing. But the other team was better. This one guy is shooting everything from a mile away and he was getting in the basket. So I was exhausted. So this week I have to catch up on what I missed.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
I didn't even know what it was, but you know what happens? You start getting involved with the players and they give you so much background on the pre-show games that you sort of felt like you knew them. And it was fun. And there were three guys from Villanova. You know, you see the team spirit and you see all the outside stories that go along with the team itself. And I thought it was great.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Yeah, well, their legs hurt them at the end. I think they couldn't move as quickly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
They called me personally and asked. Yeah, it was fun for a New York team. Yeah, for a New York team. We love the New York teams when they win. They don't win very often. They got very far. This is as far as I think they've been in a quarter of a century. Okay, let's end with should we bring it back?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Yes, you could always bring them. I don't think they ever left, Kim.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Okay. Can you go in the shower with those? Probably. Okay, that's a good thing to take with you when you go to the Hamptons, guys, when you're in somebody else's shower. I think showers are clean. It's not like you're going to camp. I don't know. There's a lot of things that go on in the shower.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
I think that's awful. And I don't like that for young girls, too, because they start having body image issues. I don't like it at all.

I know, I wouldn't use that stuff. First of all, you should be using a hat to cover your skin when you're sitting on the beach. So I don't know about that other spray. I can't tell you about that.

No, but that... I love guac, but this was like... Es ist wahrscheinlich so, dass sie einen Stern holen wollen. Sie schauen nach Michelin. Ich denke, jeder versucht, trendig zu sein.

For all those who want to go to L.A., you should text Kim and find out where she went.

Well, that's part of a restaurant. It's all outdoor eating. Right, which is the problem. And there was a roach somewhere else. Because that's why we got rid of so many of those outside, you know, what do they call those structures in the city? Because they're really, garbage collection is never really proper. And the rats come because they're very healthy. Well, rats are all over.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
They're not disappearing. It's like cockroaches. They've been here before everybody.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
What could be worse than a rat? A rat is pretty big.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
But you at least had better weather than we had. We were sitting in the rain here, but okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Right, so you can throw it all in the garbage and they don't have to have wait service.

I think we're over COVID. I mean, for heaven's sakes. I mean, everybody's got to get over that because there's a new strain of COVID here. So let's not go back to what we had in 2020. You know what? Unfortunately, if you get it, it's a cold and take two Tylenol. Dr. Gail. Dr. Gail.

Die Influencern, von denen wir, wir sind einige, aber wir sind nicht, wir sprechen nicht über Hamptons, das ist nicht unsere Sache. Jetzt sind wir es. Jetzt geben wir ihnen mehr Raum, als sie wahrscheinlich sollten. Ich meine, es ist ein Problem mit Chicken Salad und... Well, not a resort, it's a resort. Well, it is a resort. It is a resort.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
People who don't live there have to either take a space, which the Wall Street Journal mentioned, a lot of people rent a house for three days together. House rentals reaching $3,700. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
You can't. You could not try. The rain, every time you went to barbecue, the rain was pouring on the grill. It was a terrible week. Actually, the whole week was bad. So you were perfect down in L.A.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
That's correct. Es sind all diese Dinge. Wenn du zu Durier gehen willst und einen 100-Dollar-Lobsterrollen hast und für einen Casa... Was ist das Vodka, das so teuer ist? Casa Amigos Tequila. Aber ist das teuer? Ja, sehr teuer. Es ist wie 800 Dollar. Nein, das ist Don Julio. Ja, es ist sehr teuer. You know what? You could also get a glass of white, nice, local wine for $18.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
That's still expensive. Well, it's not expensive. Well, it's like New York City prices. That's what it is. I think what's happened is these women who are going out are in their 30s. They're all successful in their own right. And money seems to be no object to them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Oh, I don't know. The picture in the Wall Street Journal was all girls in their 30s who all have businesses. You know what? If they want to choose to spend that kind of money, if it was me and I was spending that kind of money, I think I might take a trip to the south of France. It's very cheap right now with the airfares. I think the Hamptons is beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
If you really do the Hamptons, if you're going to look for this certain four or five really top spots that are astronomical, it's not an inexpensive area.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
But those are expensive. Surf Lodge is expensive. You can go to the Clam Bar or just someplace else and have fun without the crazy expenses.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Nein, ich glaube nicht, dass du das tun solltest. Ich denke, in der heutigen Wirtschaft solltest du nichts tun, was einen Schaden auf deine Wirtschaft stellt, weil wir nicht wirklich sicher sind, wo es geht. Also, wenn du es nicht erlaubst, geh einfach irgendwo, weißt du was?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Das klingt nicht schlecht. Ich denke, es ist die Realität. Nicht jeder kann in die Hamptons gehen. Manche Leute müssen an ihren lokalen Böden bleiben. Es ist nichts falsch, den Tag an Jones Beach zu gehen mit einem Glas Wein und einem Picknick-Basket. Ich meine, ich denke, die Hamptons sind immer für Luxus angelegt. Das ist, wo ihr ganze Caché ist.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Wir sprechen nicht von 40 oder 50 Jahren, als ich da rausgegangen bin. Jetzt ist es wirklich das Junge, es ist sehr glamourös für den meisten Teil. Sie öffnen alle diese lustigen Restaurants, die alle, weißt du, Orte irgendwo anders haben. Und das ist die sogenannte Attraktion für bestimmte Leute. Wenn du nur einen einfachen Wochenende möchtest, kannst du es machen. Es gibt nichts anderes.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Guide to the Hamptons
Weißt du was? Du kriegst einen rotisserie-Chicken auf dem Markt, nimmst ein paar schöne Lettuce und ein paar frische Brot da draußen, was fabulös ist. Du kannst es an jedem Farmstand kaufen und Zwiebeln und du hast einen schönen Abendessen. You don't have to go for a $60 chicken salad someplace. But I think the point is that they want to. Well, they want to do it to take pictures.

They're also showing in the articles, I don't know if this is true or not, each one is trying to outdo each other.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I know, but a lot of people – unless you know the person – You're better off with a gift card. There were some people that, you know, they would rather have the $125, like you're saying, or the $100 or the $75 and buy something they really want.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I don't really think. And one thing I would advise against, I wouldn't buy food. I really don't like food, except if you're doing it like something in the office and you wanted to bring some kind of candy, big, cute little display of candy where everybody could have a taste. But first of all, you don't like anybody touching anything anymore. So that sort of happened after COVID.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Yeah, you like it. I didn't think there was any fall vibe any more than being in an apartment. But of course, your father lit a fire. And luckily the house didn't burn down. So we were good this time. The flu was open. But the only downside was your mother's dog had a nervous breakdown on the wooden floors. The dog definitely does not like Thanksgiving in the country. She prefers New York.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
You know, everything has to be wrapped. So I'm not sure even candy is any good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, I think that's all right for your family. I don't know if I want everybody touching my candy in the box. So I think that's become tricky. That's why I'm saying the gift, and especially if it's a young person and you don't know what kind of tech things they like, because they all like something in tech.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
you're better off giving them an Amazon card or whatever the store might be that has what they like so they can do it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
As long as they can return it. Because so much, and this is one of the comments that people were saying, they're sort of trying not to get returns because the stores don't want returns. They don't even want them. And they're charging you now to return products. You know, a year or so ago when they weren't doing so well in the stores, they would underwrite the shipping back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Now you're paying for shipping in most places.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, but you have to know if they have it or not.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
No, because you have many people in your life you have to give a gift to. I give gifts to the people who do my hair. I give gifts to the people who might do a service for me. I do it certainly for people who take care of me in our building.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, sometimes it's cash. Sometimes it's gift cards. In Florida, I do give gift cards to people. It depends. But everybody has a way of doing it, and there's no wrong way.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, what's his hobbies?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
If he loves golf, anything golf paraphernalia, they all love. They all love a dozen balls, golf balls, as long as you know which kind they like. See, that's the other thing. Like your grandfather likes one kind of ball. Your uncle likes a different kind. I'm almost, you know. What if you know what that type is? Well, then you have to know. Well, you have to look in his.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Depending on where they live, you could buy something, you know, perhaps a lighter, a lighter cardigan or a lighter golf shirt or tennis outfit or whatever they like. Or again, the bottle of cologne is always nice or a toilet water. I like that a lot.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, if you're dating somebody even a couple of months and you're dating somebody alone, you know, I don't think you should go crazy with gifts. I mean, you know, you can I think even to say let's go for a special dinner for the holidays, which is always nice. But, you know. It's a hard thing because it depends how old you are.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
If you're very young, then you can really give them a box of candy or maybe a special book that they like to read or a record. I don't know if they give records anymore, a cassette player or whatever you call those, CDs. Not really. What do they put on a, on a, in, in a car to listen to music?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
That gift is finished. It's like ties. You no longer can give anybody a tie. Sorry about that. You know what? I think that if you're dating seriously for a couple of months, a little gift is, is very nice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I don't think major because you know what? You could break up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Somebody could send somebody flowers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I know. I think she gets allergic to those. She's not allergic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I don't think a gift is that important.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I think that depends on your income. I think if you're Bezos, you can buy a yacht. If you're an ordinary person, a book is fine.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
If you're affluent and you make a good living, then go and buy a piece of jewelry or buy an expensive cashmere sweater for the man or maybe an Apple Watch or a better watch than that. You know, it all depends on how much money you have. If you don't have a lot, it's not about, you know, the gift. It's about the thought. So I think everybody according to what they can afford.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And there is no bad gift. There really isn't.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I actually like the one little leather skirt and the cardigan that you had that you suggested for everyone.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Yeah, I thought that was great. I mean, you know, you can do so much going to Amazon now. That it's almost, or go to Macy's site or any of the large stores, the box stores that you like. They're all online.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And they all have every brand.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
That's interesting.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
We're going to have to take the dog to first shrink. So that was our, the big downside of being out there, but what was your favorite?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I think this is very much the same kind of diet for people who go to someplace like an Aspen or a Vale, where you're in cold weather, you're cozy with a fire, you're very much into— But you can still have cheese fondue there. Well, all right. You probably can have cheese fondue.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And you're away from the big, tremendous cities, which, you know, does cause stress. So we're going to die tomorrow. Well, probably. Probably.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I don't believe that. There are a lot of old people in big cities. I know. This is just, you know. Yeah, well, it's a thought. It's a thought. I don't think there's anything earth-shaking in this report because I think clean living and exercise and a good diet are basically the rules and very little alcohol and no smoking.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
That's a recipe for living for a very long time and an elimination of stress. Stress is the biggest factor in having aging issues. Mm-hmm. First of all, your skin ages with stress. Your body ages with stress.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Oh, I thought all the food was terrific. I thought your uncle's turkey turned out absolutely perfectly, which I can't get over. It's one of those, he deep fries, it comes out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
So all those things that if you can do a little bit of yoga and thinking, just listen to music or do whatever makes you relax when you get overly agitated is a very good recipe for how you could age well.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Family, and they're also with families.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Go skiing. Go have some fun yourself. There's so many activities. Go take a little trip.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Exactly. Exactly. Because the gift is to yourself.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And take a little trip. Take a trip. Go anywhere that you feel, if you have a few days off, that you feel like you really would enjoy without having to consult anybody else and go do it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And that's a very good thing for yourself anyway. Volunteering for other people who have major, major issues and food deprivation and health issues. This is the time to really show how you can be of service to your community. And I think that'll make you feel better right away.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I think it tastes delicious.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And it's juicy and everything was wonderful. I had no favorite dish. I loved it all. I like mom's corn pudding. Of course, I like my own sweet potato since I make that all the time. Yes. I thought the pies were excellent. I actually liked the pumpkin pie a lot. Those were store-bought, though. Yeah, but that was fine. But sometimes you like some stores better than the others.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
No. No. That's just bad luck. And just forget about it. First of all, you'll lose your friend and you probably won't get him anyway or her. So just cut it off. I know it's a little sad for you, but there's nothing good that's going to come out of that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
No, you can meet somebody else, but it's unhealthy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I think it's a state of mind. I think material issues and products are only what you want. You can have something that costs a dollar and you'll love it because of either who gave it to you or how you were fortunate enough to buy it. I don't think it matters. I think everybody, because of social media and because you see all these beautiful women wearing all these expensive things, It's nonsense.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Half of 1% has that kind of stuff. So don't even dwell on it. Wear what you want to wear. Go get the things that you can afford and be happy with it because it's really not that important in life. Most of those people you're watching are having miserable lives.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Absolutely. Like put on your cardigan, put on your cardigan, cardigan and the white shirt and a pair of nice tailored pants. You look like a million bucks. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I'm getting to like less and less, but every time we go, we eliminate, we eliminate something. Exactly. But I must say one of the ones I love, and of course you don't love it as much as I, cause you don't love going to that area. I love, love, um,
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I couldn't even get the words out. Kitchen, which I love on Belvedere. That's terrific. I mean, there are fish in there. Poppy likes the Wienerschnitzel, which you can't get anyplace else. It's absolutely delicious. And they're lovely there. And it's family owned. I also... Well, I love St. Ambrose because I just love St. Ambrose, but that's a special place, you know, that's expensive.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
So people have to sort of save up to go there. I think the Palm Beach Grill, which is a chain, which is Houston's, is delicious. Palm Beach really isn't known for its gourmet food. It's getting better. I like Galoo. I like La Galoo, which is, you know, there are also branches of these restaurants that are in big cities. So they're not, except for the kitchen, which is really only there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
No, loads of beach A's.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
There's a beach A in New York. What? Of course. There's a beach A in Milan. There's a beach A in Rome.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Oh, so. But that's, oh, that's fun. I do like Lola 41. And it's very pretty.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I think your other grandma got the pumpkin pie from a local supermarket, and I thought that was better than the bakery ones. Yeah. So I thought all in all, everything looked beautiful. She did a beautiful job setting the table. Thank you. God, she had those chocolate turkeys on the table.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
But they're not great. You want some great restaurants, you have to go to Miami.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Yeah, that is, and that's great. But that's very expensive for steak. That really is very good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
But it is delicious.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Yes, because they get the best products.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
You know, that belongs to the breakers. So anything that the breakers does, they always do well.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. That's very odd.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I think if I was little, yes, that's what I would like. Okay. Interesting. What song would you like?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Oh, that I love. Cry every time. Or what about the one from Mary Poppins? Extra-strap-a-lips-es.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Oh, here we go again, trying to change somebody. But you can. You can. I think you can make a suggestion. First of all, most men are just as well put out now as women. They are very good about putting on a nice shirt. No longer do... Guys wear so many jackets. Ties are out, naturally. I feel so sorry for the tie business. I used to love a man in a nice tie.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
But I think wearing a sweater and a nice shirt is always good. You can go anywhere. A guy can go anywhere and look nice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, maybe you can buy something like that for if you have a boyfriend or a husband, you can give them an update of the one you like.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I think I would like to talk to Bibi Netanyahu. I think I would like to really understand him. I was in Israel two years ago, before October 7th, and I did speak to Natali Bennett, who was the prime minister at the time. And then while I was there, Netanyahu became prime minister. And I'd like to talk to him and ask questions
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
what would he do over again that he didn't do differently, that he did the way he did it, if there's something he would drastically change that might have changed the way the war went. And really, I would like to talk to the hostages when they come out. That would be something I would like, when and if they're able, the ones who have survived. I think that might change my life.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
We need that turkey. And it was really neat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
It would be. One of them was reported. One came out. They showed a picture of this young man, 22 years old, that they are saying is still alive. You know what? I'm not sure how many more will be alive. But I would like to talk to them.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, you know, there's the Schneider Hospital, the children's hospital outside of Tel Aviv. Actually, it's not Tel Aviv. I'm sorry. It's in a different location. I'm not going to even bother giving the location. Did take care of the hostages when they came out, the children.
Excuse My Grandma

I brought the vibes. You brought a vibe. You were singing Wicked.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Our friend who actually lives in our building went and saw them there because they are one of the people who really give money to that hospital. So they met the children and they said it was really changing of a life. You never would believe it again. So I think that might be something that we both would love to do. And I'd like to do it in Israel.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Road trip. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Have fun. Have the best time. Depending on if it's a little one, do all the things that you know children love to do. Don't do what you love to do. Do really what the children love to do. You'll have the best time at it. And you see things in a whole different light. It's when you go to Disney World with a young person.
Excuse My Grandma

Throughout the day, they're going to put you in with the dog. You're going to have to have some kind of intervention.

You see it much differently than when you go with your husband or your boyfriend. It's seeing the world through the eyes of a child. And nothing can beat that.

He just did a thing on A Must Talk About It. It's the way, he said, a partner is the most important thing you can pick. He said he's married. He was just on. I just watched it this morning. He said, if I could do it again, I'm married. He was married 40 years, I guess, over the holidays.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And he said, I wish I had married my wife even younger because we would have had our children when we were younger. So I think my advice still is very much what he's saying. If you have, but you must pick the right partner. There's so many people that say this. Larry Silverstein has been on television talking about that.

And so many others have also discussed, you have to pick a partner that you know you can live with, that you know you have the same values and that you're going to want the same things in life. It's very important. It's not about just what you see today. It's how you see yourself in five years, 10 years. And can you see that person in that role? So it is very interesting. And people really do...

No, I think everybody should just have a good week and start. Don't stress about the traffic. Don't stress about getting gifts. You'll get them all in good time. My plan is to everybody is do things sporadically. Get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow, a little bit the next day. Space it out for the next several weeks because you get overwhelmed.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And don't listen to everything your kids want. Get one or two good things and forget it. You can always get stocking stuffers in the dollar store and just stick a few things in there. But get some good things. Do quality. Quality over quantity, I think, is my suggestion.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I haven't seen it and I think this is the biggest couple of weeks of movie sales because they had Gladiator 2 which actually I heard was not as good as Gladiator 1 but still people are going to love to see it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, that's the whole thing. Everybody has expectations when it's a two, and it usually doesn't meet up to it, but whatever. It was still a fun time to have popcorn in the theater, and it was certainly around the holidays.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
which was tremendous. And it did great in the box office. So I'm happy for the movie industry because that's been failing since COVID. That really hasn't come back.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, I also think it's based around young people. Kids will all go see Wicked. I mean, every parent and every teenager and all adults as well. But it certainly feeds into the tweens and the teens going to the movies. They like to go to the movies. They go with their friends. It's part of a weekend ritual usually. And I think this kind of good combination really spurred them on to really go again.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
There was a taxi right away out there and we got on the road. We really were from that point on, it took us just as long to get home from the airport as it did to be on the flight. I just couldn't believe it. It was two hours and I've decided that all the traffic in that area funnels into the GW Bridge. So you're backed up for almost 50 minutes just from there.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I know, but this is now trying to introduce a new generation.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I saw Wicked on Broadway a million years ago.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, I know that Ariana went to see her grandmother. Yes. That I saw a thing on for Thanksgiving.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Oh, wow. Okay. They look very good. They look very good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
They didn't need Thanksgiving at our house.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
With the different pies and the sweet potatoes. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Oh, I forgot about Moana. Right. That definitely. I know my other little granddaughter went with her friend.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I think tweens, they're desperate to go back to the, it's tweens. I think they're desperate to go back to movie theaters. It was a form of entertainment that they could participate in. It was a healthy form of entertainment and they could meet up with friends and be sociable. And we haven't really gotten back to it. And I hope it's a start of really something to come.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I can't wait to go see it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Oh, I think it did, because it came out exactly the way these movies came out, within a few days of each other, because I remember watching both.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I don't know. No, I think you could compare the Barbie to almost the Wicked.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Because they were making a statement. And the marketing was insane. Insane, exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Westminster is not that close to New York City. Well, it's 40 miles. I mean, it shouldn't take more than 50 minutes, I mean, to get there. Given an hour, this took almost two hours. So we're back to plan B going into the New York airport.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
What I did was, after Thanksgiving, there was Black Friday. So I came back to the city because I wanted to participate in the Black Friday sales.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Yeah, but it's not quite the same as being in Manhattan. So I went down to 57th Street. First of all, if anybody thinks New York City is dead, just come on down. It is alive and well and happening. The holidays make everything look wonderful, but the crowds were immense. And one of the stores on 57th Street, Louis Vuitton, just opened. First of all, one side is all covered like a trunk.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, it started with me getting off the plane on Tuesday coming from West Palm Beach to Westchester Airport. We decided to do Westchester because I made up my mind that it would be an easier flight that they would they have less flights coming in from that to that area. It was perfect. We left early. We got in 20 minutes early. I said to your grandfather, see, this is perfect. So we got out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
But the new store is across the street with a new cafe. There's so many new spectacular things that have opened in the city in the last maybe three, four weeks. So
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
visitors who come will be surprised at all the things and then this coming week on Wednesday like you said to me before the tree is being lit so that's you know then the city really goes into full gear yeah into full gear and the windows are all beautiful and the Christmas trees in most places including my lobby in the city are all up I have one in my lobby yeah I think they all come up the minute Thanksgiving is over yeah the Christmas trees come in the
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
No, I can't try to outsmart what is a norm. But anyway, Thanksgiving was beautiful, right? We had a rainy day on Thursday, but it didn't damp or anything because we were busy in the kitchen.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Pumpkins are out. The Christmas trees come in.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
So it's it's a festive time of the year, no matter where you live.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
For those who don't know, that's a wine vineyard in the Hamptons with.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
That's smart. That's smart. You know, people want to go, especially if they're not in their own hometown, they want to go to places that cater to families and are festive.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
You know, everybody really is looking for a feel-good moment. We've had enough agitation in the last few years, and everybody would like it all to sort of go away and start afresh and really have a nice 2025. Everybody's looking forward to that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And when I was reading the paper this morning, there was a whole big article in the Wall Street Journal that the sales for Black Friday were way over what the expectation was. I was going to tell you something, but it's mostly online or over the phone. It was not in, even though all the crowds were down there, evidently people don't want to stand online. I understand that. Did I buy anything?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
I did not. I went online when I came home and I purchased, I needed socks. Very not, not gifty kind of thing. Not fun. But I can't find socks in a department store. So I went online and sure enough, millions of sites come up. Is that on sale? A little bit. I think like 5%. Not very much. It's not very much. Because it's not everything. And not everything in the store.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Anything that I wanted in the store was not on sale. Same thing. What I already own or what I really don't want anymore was on sale. And they were very nice sales, but not anything that I really, you know, if you're spending money, you want to buy something, not just to say you bought it on sale. I think those days of just collecting for no reason is ridiculous.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And there were no... I really was looking for a couple of new sweaters because everybody comments about my sweaters on the show. And I didn't see anything that I really loved. But I must say, Kim, we did something on our TikTok last week about wearing different cardigans.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And big thing in the paper this week, trend is cardigans. All about cardigans. We knew. We knew two weeks in advance. So... For all those people looking to buy a gift for Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, a cardigan is definitely the way to go. And classic. Keep it classic so you can keep it like I do for 20 years and bring them back out, put them away, bring them out again.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, I think everybody knows what their moms like. So if she likes a shampoo that she wouldn't necessarily treat herself or a beauty product, this is the time to buy beauty products. First of all, they were all on sale. So if she likes a particular perfume. buy the perfume now when you can still get something off on it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
And it doesn't matter if it's one week or two weeks later, those kinds of articles don't spoil. I think it's hard to buy clothing for somebody else.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
Well, not only the brand, but their size. Because each brand is a different size. You can buy, you know, we go into stores and you and I usually wear a small. Then you can go to some place and, oh, my God, you need an extra small or you need a medium. So I think that clothing, unless you really know the product, like I could buy clothes for you and you could buy it for me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma on Gift Gifting and Navigating The Holidays Solo
But you're about the only person I could do it for. I think what's very nice is a – I still like a gift card. I think these things – and they're saying this in the magazines.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
See, when I was my time, Emily Post was the one and you really literally read that book from cover to cover when you did something, because there was a protocol. It's so different than today.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
It was in Miami and they had one up here. You know, part of the old tennis players played up here and the courts were beautiful. They all were excited. The old ones? Well, like Agassi and Stephanie. Yeah, they were all tennis stars. It wasn't Coco Graff. Coco was in Miami and she lost. So unfortunately, so she's taking some time out now. I read in the paper before the French Open.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Yeah, I think it's insensitive. I don't know if it's rude. You're single either because you haven't found the right fellow or you want to be single. I mean, it's not anybody else's business. But I don't always think that it's done meanly. I think they look at you and they see an attractive, intelligent woman and they think the norm is to have a mate.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And that has become a very different thing in the 2000s.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I don't think at all. The only way I would ever ask it is, are you still single? And would you have someone that might be very nice if you're still unattached that I'd love to pick you up with?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
We find it on the street. They used to ask, you know, oh, I have somebody to fix Kimberly up with, you know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, you know what? Everybody always has a bad day and it's one night. So unless somebody is really being abusive and then if they are, I put my napkin down at the table and say, I have to leave now. But if somebody is just not your cup of tea, you spend the evening, what's the big deal? It's a couple of hours out of your life. I mean, you're not deciding the world's future over this dinner.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
But you know, it's a tricky thing. Not everybody is gonna be your cup of tea.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, yeah, well, no. And the biggest thing now is that I showed you that article in The Post yesterday. I don't know if you read it on that. All the Gen Z-ers are wearing the same outfits.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, but I think somebody has to know the parameter. Or also be careful, like don't agree to be on a boat all day or something like that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Yes. That's good advice. That's very good advice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I would always turn this over. You know, I never had this, so I really don't know. The men always paid when I was dating, even if it was a hot dog or a Diet Coke or Coca-Cola. So I still think the male or whoever initiated the date, it's really more about who asked who out. If the woman asked the fellow out, then you know what? It's her date. She's done it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And most men would say, oh, please let me do it. But that's a very individual thing. I like when the man picks up the bill and I still like it. I don't think I've ever picked up a bill in my life.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And also, I think going along with that, you know, you don't in the beginning, you don't know the finances. Somebody, you know, many women make more money than men and therefore more able to pay for it if you want to go for an expensive dinner or a little bit more than a coffee shop.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, you might not want to pay, but you're putting the other person in an uncomfortable situation that he can't afford to do. So either you have to scale back your expectation of what a date should be and maybe just have park bench snack.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
It was I left it on. Oh, I didn't see it. Naturally, you didn't read it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I know, but it becomes very expensive when dating occurs. Don't you agree? I mean, you know... I don't know. I think, you know, nobody goes out anyway. If you go to a movie now, it's $50. So I think it's a lot of money. And it becomes, I think that's why so many guys who are starting out don't date because they can't afford to go out. They'll go for a drink someplace at a bar.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
They can't make a commitment. I think finances play a very big part in dating.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, you know, a big party, there's no reason that you have to say goodbye. You could always call the next day or text the next day. I shouldn't say call because nobody calls anymore but me. And say you had a wonderful time and sorry I didn't say goodnight. But I think if it's a small group, you have to stay to the end and that you've obligated for the evening.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
You shouldn't, if you're not having a good time, that's your problem. You just have to stick it out and you definitely have to say goodbye and thank you to your hostess.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Yeah, I know. I mean, that's all that's in the stores.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Right. Right. Absolutely. And, you know, I must say, we have a couple of couples and it's very annoying. The fellow at exactly quarter of ten, you know, he's getting up and it breaks up the party. Yes. And I almost feel those people should stay home. They really shouldn't come because it ruins the evening for the hostess. And you know, they're going to do it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I just think some people wear the bomber jacket, some the longer jacket. I mean, it is the look, what it is. I mean, we've gotten away from wearing formal wear. So the young people are relaxed.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And then when they get up, there's a whole group around them say, Ooh, he's leaving. So let's leave. So I think you have to be a little more considerate of your hosts and it really isn't fair. You put so much time and effort into creating the evening. It's one night. Just suck up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Yeah, that's true. I never thought of that. Yeah, that's never me. Because that's what hosts want to get out. They want to get them out. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I'm glad you're bringing that up because I find this very strange now. With weddings? Yeah. Okay. Because everybody's older now that Kim is friendly with, and they're sort of at that stage.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Although I want the boss to tell us what she thinks.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And I can appreciate that. Because it's expensive. Because it costs thousands of dollars for these people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Yeah, but this isn't the point. This isn't a regular party.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Right. Exactly. Now they're in my wedding photos. Exactly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
on Instagram, of course, you know, I scroll all the time and they had a whole Paris Fashion Week a couple of weeks ago. And everybody on the street, they look different because they put it together a little better. But you can't be so basic. They're also wearing the jeans, the sweater, the oversized jacket, the oversized trench coat.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Exactly. I like the little small orchid plant that you can always bring in a little. It comes in a self-contained container. And if you want to bring a flower or the next day, send the orchid.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Knowing your couple, a lot of them love wine. And if they are into that, that's also a great gift. It doesn't have anything to do with their table or anything. And they can drink that after the party. And I sort of like to send it the next day.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
But you have to know they love California wine. They love, you know, Washington State wine.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, you'd know that. You would know that. If the fellow or the woman really is a wino.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
No. But I think that you don't have to. You can still buy a nice little reserve. Whatever. I think it's sometimes better, especially for a man. I wouldn't send him an orchid plant or bring him a bouquet of flowers. I think a bottle of wine. You know your audience. You have to know your audience.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
It's just how they put it together, which, you know, for some reason, when you walk in the streets of Paris and Milan,
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Grandma, what's new with you? Well, since I've seen you yesterday, not much. I know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
plates come out with hot food, the hostess would say, please start because we don't want the rest of it to get cold. But you sort of want to wait for the hostess to get served as well. It's a fine line. If it's cold poached salmon, we can all wait. Right. Or, you know, wait for each other.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, it used to be the rule to eat two people with half food. Not if you're having sushi. You can wait.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I don't really look at my phone all night. It's not a matter that I shouldn't answer it, but I don't keep my, first of all, at five o'clock, my phone is retired. So I don't keep it during dinner. I don't ever take it with me unless there's an emergency or somebody doesn't feel well. I just think that's not part of my life.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Now, you young people, from the time you get up in the morning till the time you go to bed, the phone is next to you. It's like attached to your arm. So it's different. So I don't think older people can adjust that much to the phone situation and answering texts right away because it's not part of our lifestyle. There are many that do. I mean, I get texts all the time from friends.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
The next day, when I turn my phone back on and I look at it, I'll answer the text. It's not an emergency, hopefully.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Totally. Yeah, we don't express our way that way. If she called her on the phone and spoke and it would have come out differently. It's just it's just what you used to.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I think that's one of the biggest problems with young children. I saw my granddaughter who was, you know, was a teenager. She's just a teenager now, but they can't cut their meat because their parents have been cutting their meat and how to hold the knife and the fork. That's a very interesting thing that we used to learn as children.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
At the dinner table, our parents would, and they would hit us with the knife if we weren't doing it right with a fork and try to teach us. I don't know how much teaching parents do with their kids anymore because everybody's eating differently, but let's do it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're very important for young people to learn how to hold their knives and forks. Because it's really going out. to restaurants as you get older, some of them tear the meat apart. They really don't understand the concept of cutting a piece of meat or anything, or a salad, or anything you have.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Yeah, well, but you know what? If you're going to a restaurant, I know here I was just at some place Saturday night called The Carriage House and a gentleman, young couple came in. It's like a private club, yeah. And he was not wearing a jacket. They loaned him a jacket. No, I don't think anybody insists on wearing the ties anymore, no matter where you are.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And it's not overwhelming. I like the idea. I didn't know when I do it, but I didn't realize the reason for the knives facing forward.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
But, you know, it is somewhat, if you're in some place that is beautiful, they don't want you to look grungy. You know, it's not part of the scene. It almost takes away from the scene.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
So if you're hysterical about the glassware, don't use it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Don't take every single plant thing on the buffet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I gave you the wrong teaspoon, but it's the idea. It should be a smaller spoon.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I think you do. Okay. We do these things because we just subconsciously. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Okay, we're going to follow up on that. Because that's really needed now, a new version, 2026. Yes, 2026.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And I'm looking forward to her new book coming out next year because it's really an updated etiquette book for people today.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
But of course during COVID, nobody was kissing. So I think it really depends on if you have a cold, don't kiss somebody on the cheek.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, I think everybody is, you know, that's a miscommunication amongst generations. I still use voicemails, but I know most of the young people just text.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And I would not take that away. I think it's lovely.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I think that's depending on the age. If you're a teenager, you should address them by their full name, not by their first name.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
They maybe like to be addressed by their first name. But I think it's properly done that it should be Mr.,
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I think that's a little strange. Yes. Well, the man used to order. I mean, it was just a man. But I don't think anybody, I mean, I don't think anybody does that now. Unless you say under certain, like some men are connoisseurs of food. Or it could be the woman as well. Yeah. And say, would you order for me? Whatever you have sounds wonderful. Sometimes I do that with your dad when he goes to her.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
He loves to order. Right. And I say, oh, whatever he gets is fine. You can order for me. Because he overorders. And I also like the way he orders. So I think it depends on the situation.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I don't know. I think the waiter could ask, what would you like? What would you like? Yeah. No, I don't think that makes a fuss. But if somebody loves to order, let them order. Okay. And then what about helping your date put their coat on? Well, I think that's just blight. Yeah. But now, so many times when you're in that situation, there's a person in the coat room helping you. True.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
But whichever way, I still think it's very nice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I think when she was very tiny, I used to love to just sit with her on the floor and play. I don't think there was any one memory. It wasn't a shared experience of activities.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Because I really don't look at my text. Right. It's a different, it's a different.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, they certainly should go to the Kravis if they like anything in the arts, or to the Norton Museum, which are beautiful cultural things, or the Flagler Museum, which is like a thing out of the 1890s, and you see the old railroad station, the Art Nouveau architecture. There's a lot to see, but just enjoy the ocean and the weather. That's really the primary reason why people come to Florida.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And then there are lots of activities. The zoo is terrific.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
If you have children, there's some fun things to do.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
What was the wildlife place we used to go to that's still wonderful?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Lion Country Safari. Is that there? Yes, it's absolutely there. Okay. And it's gotten bigger. So I think for daytime activities, if you have a family, some of those are fun to break up the day. You don't want to be in the sun that much.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And generational differences in how we approach it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I think so many, and we didn't know about it, so many of these child actors, in the 60s and 70s. Oh, no, but this was the early 2000s. Yeah, but it started even earlier than that. If you go back, there are a whole load of stories on this where people on set abuse these children. whether they touched them or they did inappropriate, speaking to them inappropriately.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
This was very, it was a very sad moment, I think, and most of them are very deeply scarred from it, which this young man is now talking about openly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Yeah, but this week we do. So I think the only difference would be is my hair.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, this doesn't only happen in acting. You know, it's happened in sports. And so many of the women athletes have discussed their coaches and how they're, you know, they've inappropriately done things with them and ruined their lives. And, you know, when parents advocate their position of authority and hand it over to another adult, they better make sure that those adults are really good.

the color all right or is your hair all right i mean you know we see each other 24 7. but what's doing is that it's been a beautiful week um you know all the noise around uh florida uh is sort of uh going away since the boats have left so we're not hysterical but now actually i think the national football league is here so i see all the the football players and all the paraphernalia being set up where i live and uh so it's going to be a beach
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, it's a lot of pretty sick people out there, let's face it. And unfortunately, they always go after the weakest. And children actors or children athletes or whatever, children scholars are the easiest prey because they are afraid to speak up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And I also think it's very individual, Kim. Once you find the article, read a little bit. But I really don't think it's something that's of the norm. It's still not the norm.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I also think a lot of it's around sex. A younger guy for an older woman is very, very sexy. Women like a young guy. It's not a bad experience.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, because you're very young. But if you were a 50-year-old, if you were a 50-year-old without a permanent relationship and are looking for a young guy, The sex is certainly better with a young guy than a 50 year old. It's just what the matter, just, just nature.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Absolutely. That's why I say it's, it's different things for different people. The only problem comes into it if you're making it a permanent relationship and then the young, the younger man perhaps wants to have a child. A 50 year old woman cannot really have a child. She can, they can adopt a child and get a surrogate, I guess. But I think there are complications with this.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
But, you know, if you've already been married or if this is a second time around thing, I don't think it should matter at all about the age. It doesn't bother me at all.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I don't think that's a minor issue. Age is not a minor issue. I mean, one or two years. But if you're 18, 20 years apart, it's really a major issue for certain reasons. And if you don't care about the problems that might arise with it, then, you know, go for it. Be happy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Taking care of them. The chances are in 20 years, a 50 year old will be 70 and the guy will only be 40. It's a big age difference.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I think it's become a very big convention area. And so they have big, big events here because the hotel is... They always had that, though. Yeah, but I think springtime now is even the busiest because the weather's the best. They can set up the tents properly.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
Well, Kim, after two years of going out with somebody, you should see that he chews with his mouth full. So if that bothered you, which it would have bothered me at the first couple of dates, either say something then or ever hold your peace. You're already two years into a relationship. Part of the phone being part of on the table and being looked at. I just think that's basically rude. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And you can say that, right? Yeah. Well, she should have said it before two years. These are things that are just things that make a difference in the evening. But I do think they are changeable. And it bothers me when we go out for dinner and I see everybody on a phone. I mean, unless you're a doctor.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
and you have an emergency, or you're the president of the United States, what's the big deal for two hours to put your phone away?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I know there's an ad on TV right now. It's just very cute. The insurance ad, a progressive ad where they're all around the dinner table and the father says, everybody put away their phone. And then all the members of the family have nothing to say to each other. And after about two seconds, he's like, take your phone out. Yeah, yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
You know, we've become so involved with the phones that this is a basic problem. And I think it should stop when the kids are little. It bothers me terribly when I see the young people at the table, 10, 11, 12, they can't carry on the conversation. All they're doing is looking at their phone and they're looking at nonsense. So I think that should have been brought up in the beginning.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
I think it's very hard after two years of being with somebody. to now start correcting your boyfriend. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
And, you know, they had a big tennis tournament last week for the first time here because they put grass tennis courts in, which are magnificent. And there was a big tennis tournament.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
With age. I was trying to be nice and say maturity, but age is what I meant. Thank you. Oh, and then one very funny thing happened, Kim, that I have to tell you. You bought me for my birthday the most beautiful little crystal bowl with little flowers. It's so delicate and so fragile. And it's beautiful. I put it next to my bed. I haven't decided what to fill it with yet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I don't even know if you need to fill it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
No, but the little flowers would stick out more if I put something green in it. I was thinking of green jelly beans or something, but then I'm going to eat them, so I'm not sure I want that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Yeah, that could be true. So I might not put anything in it. Anyway, this young girl came to the event yesterday, and she had come – from Dior and said she wants the same thing. She was holding the shopping bag. She was holding the shopping bag, saying what she was giving to her mom for Mother's Day. So I think we're definitely going in there because they owe us big time. But that was so funny.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
She wanted to only talk about that, that she got the same thing. I know. I don't tell everybody. Not everybody in the block needs that bowl. And they sell out of stuff really quickly. Oh, I'm sure. They don't have millions of them anyway. And it was beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Which we always do. Yeah. We always have a casual dinner, you know, some neighborhood Italian restaurant, which everybody sort of loves.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
This week it's doing Nicola's, but it's usually, yeah, because everybody comes up because they're being nice to me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Actually, where you worked was a little easier to get to. It was right off the highway. Right. So this was a little tricky. This was a little tricky. We had to ask a couple of people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Because they don't have to go, so I don't have to go downtown. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Sometimes I do it with my son and his mother-in-law, but she's in Vienna, so she's not here. Good for her. Good for her is right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Families were not as nuclear in the 50s. And my cousins and my both sets of grandparents and all the aunts and uncles, we'd all barbecue. And we'd take a – we would one time do it at my aunt's and one time do it at our house. And we would have hamburgers and hot dogs. That's nice. And, you know, a typical – actually a typical Fourth of July birthday on every holiday. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Hot dogs and hamburgers, ketchup, potato chips. Very 50s. It was perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, I was already living in the city. So I think we ended up going to a restaurant. And don't forget, my parents were still alive. So we all did. We did it on Fami. We always were a large group, you know, going someplace. So we'd have to go someplace that could at least be 12 people for dinner. And we didn't want to break the bank. Nobody was looking to, you know, so we'd go to someplace casual.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I think I was frazzled. Yeah. I think I was frazzled. First of all, I was 23 years old. Wild. And your mother was not that easy. But she was beautiful, but she wasn't that easy. That's me now. Well, you know what? Whatever it is, what comes around goes around. But we never left any of the children. We took all the kids with us for dinner. And we just had fun.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
You know, it was – I don't remember what the first one was. I lived on 72nd Street. I might have even had it in my apartment. And everybody came over and we had sandwiches. You know, I don't even remember. Or we might have had pizza.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I don't think so. Not about, you know, we might give our, gave our opinions on things. maybe what school the kids should apply to. You know, if they asked, we didn't say, you know, which one we adamantly wanted. I feel like you would have said your opinion. No, because I really didn't grow up in the city, so I didn't have an idea about that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I didn't tell him this time. The guy was so – poor man was so confused. And I kept saying, why don't you put it on so I can hear it too? He didn't know what he was doing. Finally, I just said – I think you should just ride yellow because that is what makes you feel the most comfortable. That's what makes me happy.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
But my children did, and, you know, they both went to the same Upper East Side school.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Yes, I did know more. I think we gave our opinions, but we left that up to the parents, really, basically, because... You know, you have to know what's going on at that particular moment in time. Nothing stays frozen. And what was good 20 years ago might not be the right decision now. And I think that's an ongoing thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Grandparents are not supposed to be involved in punishing. That's the one good thing about grandparents. We never saw anything wrong with our grandchildren, even if we knew it was wrong. We closed the door. We hung up the phone. We said, it's up to you now. You're the parents. And I think that's the way it does work unless you live with your grandparents, which many, many people do now.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Then it's the grandparents who make the decision or in concert with the parent. But if you're in another house or another apartment, close the door and let the parents figure it out.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Or maybe they did something worse. Yeah, true. You really were a good kid. Well, I don't know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, don't forget it was the first child. Yeah. Your first child, you always do that with. I did the same thing. By the time the second one or the third one comes around, let them figure it out. Way more Lucy. Let them figure it out themselves.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
We were much more lax with the boys than the girls. Which isn't really fair because I feel like they do worse stuff. They probably do, but we figure boys will be boys. Yeah, I don't love that saying. It's still the saying of the day. I don't think you can look at the way – you wouldn't discipline a girl the same way you would discipline a boy. I hate to say it. That's why we're just better.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I don't know if you're better. But there was an interesting thing on the program. I was listening to the other night on an Asian gentleman from China. was speaking about, you know, they used to have, they used to throw the women into the river. They only wanted, they were only allowed one child years and years ago. Well, that was because it was overpopulation, whatever the policy was.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I know, but that was what they were doing. That wasn't the gist of the conversation. He was now saying, somebody was interviewing him, and he worked in a hospital. And he was saying, you know, we have an interesting thing now. We used to only want sons. Now every family wants at least one daughter because we find when the parent gets ill, The one who cares for the parent is the girl child.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Not surprising. Which is really very, very true. There's always one child in every family that ends up taking over care of an elderly person. But in most cases, it is the woman. I mean, I'm sure there are exceptions.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I don't know what the answer is. It must be something that women are just more sympathetic.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I don't think so. I think what my mother told me. Well, of course, my mother said you're 21. Get married. That's another story. I don't think anybody does that anymore. But I don't think any advice. was ever wrong. I mean, you know, she came from a certain time period. And when you live, you know, that's the advice you give because it's surrounded by the media and the culture of that moment.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
What you did in the 50s, you're not doing in 2025. So I think each generation has a different set of values. Good is still good and bad is still bad. But there are certain things that do change. I mean, certainly the way the dynamic between husbands and wives, fathers, fathers never would change a diaper. I mean, I think your grandfather changed one diaper on each child.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I mean, he would never be, you know. I don't think my dad ever did. I think he might have changed one. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe not. Maybe not. I don't think so. Well, I have to tell you, I came home one afternoon. It was Poppy's only time he had to do it for Mommy. And in those days, we didn't have paper diapers. We didn't have pampers or whatever.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
It was cloth diapers that you'd send to the laundry. Oh. And you had a weak supply. They'd pick up on a Monday and deliver and then pick up the – Well, that's what it was. Or you'd wash them yourself in a machine or by hand. How do you get rid of the – You used to dump it. I don't think we have to talk about that. It wasn't gross. It's part of life. Most people do that. So anyway, I came home.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
figure it out he was messing them all it was all terrible so that but he you know what he got out of ever having to change again fair very smart that's why he went to Harvard exactly do you think mom did anything better with me than you did with her I think we probably both made the same mistakes or different mistakes, but we all make mistakes. We do the best.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
You know, I think when people look at their parents, they have to realize we're human. We all we do the best we can. Sometimes you lose your temper. Sometimes things are not so good in your in your home life or in your life. economy. I mean, you know, and there's added stress to family relationships. So you got to give parents a little bit of slack. You never know what they're going through.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
You know, when you're a child, you think everything that your parents do, everything is perfect, but it really isn't perfect in anybody's life. It just doesn't happen that way.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I think a good mom is still a good mom, somebody who listens. And I hope the moms today, because many of them work, some of them don't, but they take the time to understand where their child is coming from. I do have a feeling that we over pamper a lot of the kids today. That they are made much more dependent on their families now than they were when I was growing up.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
At a certain point, our families would say, you're on your own. You're 18. Go out and figure it out. If it's wrong, it's wrong. Today, there's much more cuddling and much more conversation.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
What's making you feel sad is too bad and get over it.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
And I'm not sure it's better now. I actually think that's a problem. I really do. I think it makes weaker people. I don't know. I don't think so. I think I would definitely go the gentle parenting route. You are going to be definitely a gentle parent.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Absolutely. And nothing is wrong and nothing is right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, either that or have somebody good at home, whether it be a grandmother or perhaps a caretaker or, you know, somebody. Or maybe the dad is home. Right. I mean, you know, somebody has to guide children through. the terrible twos. Each stage of your child's life has different issues, whether it's the twos, and then they become tweens, and then they become teens.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Then you've got to get through the marijuana stage. You've got to get through the drinking stage. Well, now it's all legal now, I guess. Whatever stage it is, I think you have different times, and somebody has to be there to have the conversation or be the disciplinarian.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Thank you. You already gave me my gift, which for those who don't know, we always do pictures of each other. She always gives me the best picture from someplace where we were together.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I think that's a problem. And the jury's still out on this. We don't have enough information. It'll take 50 years to see how this – has affected the family. Because, you know, there were much fewer divorces in the back of the day. Now one in every two gets divorced. We now have single parents, which we never really, most people didn't have.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I mean, they were always there, but it was, you know, we didn't have that much of it. Now it's very prevalent and not stigmatized at all. And so you have all different types of parents social differences, and I think we don't know yet. We don't know yet. It's very hard to say now when we're looking at it in this time frame. You'll know. I won't be here to find out the results.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
But you can write me a note and look up in the heavens and tell me.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, it's just time. You know what? You listen to I was listening to Jenna Bush the other day and she said she cried the first time she couldn't get to the baseball game that her child did. It is traumatic because those are things that the children will say years from now. Yeah. You weren't at that game. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
So at some point you have to have a conversation with the children when they understand that the one parent is going to attend if you both work. You know, you can't leave it for or have the grandparents fill in. The president of the United States, the ex-president, wasn't coming back from Texas to watch her grandchildren. So it's a little harder for people that are famous people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
But I like that. Oh. No, I got one with sparkles last year in my wedding dress. That was a few years ago. I don't know. I keep them all over. This one's right near my bed. I love it. Good. It's a beautiful one we took in Florida. It's from Truly Gifted.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
But I think in a normal family, somebody has to show up to the soccer game. Somebody has to look at the report card. If it's not both parents and say that was a good job, that wasn't a good job. But it needs some parent in there to have the conversation. It doesn't matter which one.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I don't think they'll miss out. I think they just get older and have less patience. What you could do at 20, which most girls today don't have children or a large family in their early 20s, but what you feel like in your late 20s you don't feel like in your late 30s. So it's very different just physiologically. You know what? You figure it out. It doesn't matter.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Women now can have children way into the 40s. It's not advised. I don't think most doctors still think it's healthy. But certainly 30-year-olds can have children and it'll be perfectly fine. I think it's just a matter of ability to get down on the floor and play with everybody. That's gone for me already. Yeah. But then you'll have to sit at a table.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, I think children do emulate their parents. And certainly little girls do emulate their mother. I mean, is that what you're saying?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Oh, they might not like that you posted, you mean.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
That's up to each individual. I don't think it's so right. I know a lot of people do it because they start showing the products with their children in it themselves.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Yeah, but then they really go to school and the kids either might make fun of them, might be envious. Who knows? That I'm not sure of, Kim. I think when they're very little, it's maybe cute. But I think when they start understanding five, six years old and they start going to nursery, you know, kindergarten. Yeah. I would keep the children out of the limelight as much as you can.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
There's so many security issues today. I mean, you know, we didn't grow up in this kind of world that you're really – scared for your child in many cases, especially if they're public figures. And I mean, very much like Kim Kardashian doesn't want to have her child, you know, out there that much. I feel like she shows all her kids.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
So things are so much easier. That's the one thing I have to say. You can do everything on your phone or on your computer. I'm not so good at that, but you are very good, and my husband is very good. Excellent. And, of course, your mother, I don't think she ever walks into a store, including a grocery store anymore. She orders everything online. On Instacart, yeah. Yeah.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
No, she does, but she's showing them less, and they don't love it. I don't think they like it. I think it could be scary. I wouldn't do it that much.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I think being cool and not observing what's going on in your child's world and just saying, oh, that's cool.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think that can backfire. I don't think a mother and father is supposed to be meant to be cool.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
They're not supposed to be friends. Right. And they're not supposed to be cool. Right. I agree with that. I always think of the Mean Girls mom. That's all right. That one's probably going to be a very successful person. Wait, it's a movie. It's a scripted movie. Oh, it is?
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
But I know what you're talking about, but I never saw the movie.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, you know my thought on it that I thought it was not so terrific, but I did love Diana Ross. I thought she stole the show. She was the show. Without her, there was no show.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I loved it. And just the fact that she's still the number one star in the world. I thought it was too slow. I thought some of the clothes that the men wore, especially the beaded jackets and the, you know, those were cool. Those were what it was meant to be a dandy theme. For sure. I thought a lot of the, and I loved Stevie Wonder, the fact that I saw him that night and he looked so great.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I loved that. Most of it, I thought, just went too slowly. And the most exciting part was the jewelry that the men and the women wore. I didn't like the clothes as much as I liked the jewels.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, we did a podcast. We taped our show that we did live.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Which I think is the last time I'm ever doing that. It was two hours of looking at a costume go up the steps so slowly. And everybody chimed in, which was fun. So we had more fun talking to our audience. But it was too slow this year.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
The thing started at 6, Kim, on the red carpet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Four hours of waiting for one person. I know. That was ridiculous. Well, we saw her the next day.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Do you know that? Oh, no, I didn't know that. They didn't tell me that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, you know I don't approve of this. Yeah. But so many of the celebrities tend to live this lifestyle. It's fine for them. I don't think it's fine for the children. I don't care how progressive you are. But, you know, everybody has a right to choose the way they want to live. Grandma Gail doesn't approve of that.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Oh, per day. That's a long – can't have an hour per day. That's a long time to be with a mother. Really? Well, if you're working or have another family, I mean, an hour is a long time. That would be an hour conversation on the phone. I mean, we do it. We've broken up in between like a cumulative hour. No, I think an hour a day is too long.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I do think a phone call every day or every other day would be very appropriate. No, no, sorry.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Usually it's just your mom. Or if your daughter just became a mom, then I think it's definitely appropriate to give it. Usually I don't give my daughter or my daughter-in-law a gift.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
And it can be sad when mom isn't here anymore. Totally. And, you know, that's another story. But that, you know, do it with an aunt. Do it with a friend. Do it with somebody you love. Be appreciative. You know, give them a card and say I love you. I think.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
You know, so often everybody's busy in their own life that they forget to do the little something that might make no difference in their life but makes a big difference to the loved one.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Very capitalist. Well, that's where all the money is, downtown. The poor old people are all uptown in their old apartments. Right.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
They are. Well, I don't know. It's who they want to be, so then that's fine. What the article that I read was that everybody walks around in the same uniform, the loose jeans, the leather jacket, and the T-shirt. No matter what time of the day it is, it's a uniform. And so much of that has been perpetrated by the designers now. You can't only blame it on the young people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
The young people, especially New York young people, see in the stores and see what's propelled. It's very casual wear. And they've taken it to a style. I think they look cute, to be very truthful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I mean, New York is New York. Every little street has a character. And you have to appreciate New York is such a big city. Right now we're down at the World Trade Center. It's fabulous down here. You wouldn't believe this is a world that would be the same as the world I live up on 80th Street. And each neighborhood is beautiful.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
They all have their own restaurants, their own little areas that you would like to have lunch in or dinner in. And that's what's wonderful about New York. That's why I always say somebody should come to New York for at least a year or two when they get out of college. just to experience this kind of city, whether it's this city or any big city. It could be Chicago.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, I was going to say, you know, it's so interesting. I thought of that on the way here today. My dad used to always, when we were younger, when the children are younger. used to always give my mother a little piece of jewelry. Whether it was real costume jewelry or real jewelry, it had beautiful taste.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
It could be, I won't say San Francisco anymore because I don't think I'd want to go there anymore. L.A., D.C. I don't think I want to go to L.A. either. Sapphires are there. I can't go there either. Okay, let's just stay in New York. And I don't want to go to D.C. because the airport isn't so good. Let's just stay in New York. Stay in New York.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, I'm watching a series now. I finished all my Netflix. They have to have a couple of new Netflix programs. I love Netflix. I really do, but I've gone through all of them because our life is so, I swear to you, our life is so that we're home. We go for dinner at 6.30 now, and we're home at 8.30.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Yes. No, I can't do that because I don't have Apple in the city.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
No, you can't. No, you can't. I have a very old TV. You can't do it in the city. But let's not talk. I'll save it for the Hamptons.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I'm not buying an Apple TV. I can get it for you.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Grandma's cutting back. 1990 was a good vintage for the TV. Okay.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I don't think anybody's going to write a letter. I don't even think kids are taught how to do script anymore. But I think a card with your signature and a little note is fun. I do think that's nice.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Oh, I don't think. Well, they do photographs. You know, I think it doesn't have to necessarily be around Mother's Day. It could be around a special occasion and everybody get together. We don't do that, though. No, because we're all terrible photographers.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
You have paintings of yourself. I have a painting. Well, my grandfather loved me beyond the thing. So he had to... He had to have my portrait painted. It's now in my house in the Hamptons. So I moved it from house to house, from my mother's house to my house to a different basement. Now it's upstairs.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
No, that was my grandma. That was the worst thing in the world. Why? Was that a thing? Did you ever watch Raymond? Love Phil Rosenthal. No, but everybody loves Ray. Yeah, he wrote that. Okay, he wrote that with Raymond. With, what's his name? The star, I can't think of. Ray. Ray Romano. The mother has the sofa with the plastic. My grandmother had it too. We would go up and we would sit down.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
And I was thinking to myself when I was watching the Met thing with all the little brooches on everybody's lapel, I've got to go look in the drawer and see if I can find some of those.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
First of all, your legs stick to the sofa. And it went on for years and years. She had this beautiful white sofa. I don't even know if – I think it was all white. It might have had flowers or some kind of brocade. My grandfather died. They would sleep on that sofa with the plastic if he wanted to take a nap. Just live your life comfortably. Because they couldn't do it because they couldn't –
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Destroy. This one's going to mess up there. But then you never see the actual child. He never saw it. He never saw it. The poor man died. He never saw the sofa. Well, that was a mentality. That's like my TV. It's not going away. I guess so.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Anything else, Grandma? No, just everybody have a happy, happy weekend. Oh, and we're going to be on the news.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Yeah, I know you're going to be looking at that drawer. He used to do something and he used to sign the children's names on it, you know, from the children.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I think it's the dad's responsibility to then, even though he has a mom, hopefully, he should do both gifts.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I think they do. I don't know. Does Poppy get you Mother's Day gifts? No, but my son always does. And my daughter always does. Like, I don't know. Poppy now, you know, he gives me whatever I want, basically. But we're not into too many gifts anymore. I mean, we're looking to de-emphasize what we have. We would like to get rid of a lot of the stuff we have.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
So we're definitely not buying things for each other, material things.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Yeah. Well, I don't think a big gift is warranted. I think a little card is always appropriate. It's lovely. And I used to love like red roses or tulips, actually any of the spring flowers that were available. I always think that's the prettiest gift to give.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I'm thrown off by the new setting because usually the cameras are in front and I can see if my hair is out of place. But now, whatever it is, you'll see me au naturel.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, unless it's a very big secret, what's the difference, ma'am? It's usually something good, hopefully, that you want to share with people that you love or really spend a lot of time with. I mean, if it's a deep, dark secret, I don't think anybody should share anything. But otherwise, it's for everybody to know.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I think you have to be respectful, and I think you have to share. It's the one day a mother is a mother. You do have a husband that has a mother, so you have to be just as kind to him as you would be to your mother. Naturally, You don't feel the same probably towards her as you do your mom. Many times you do.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I mean, I was very close with my mother-in-law, and I would do the same thing I did for my mom as I did for her. But that's unusual. I think most people don't. But if you're in the same city, you certainly should spend time together. If the families don't usually do it together, then do one for lunch and one for dinner. Or do one for a late brunch. In the morning.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
But definitely both deserve to be celebrated.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Definitely not. No. No, but we have a very unusual relationship. First of all, we're all very close. Yeah. And actually your mom... likes for you to get the brunt of all the craziness of this. She's not really big into this. She enjoys thinking about it and perhaps sharing it with her friends, but she doesn't want to be that involved. If she wanted to be, she would be.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
No. Sometimes it's a little bit different.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Yeah, well, she's a much more private person. She would never want you in her closet.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Oh, she never tells me that. Really? Okay, good.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
That's something that you really never get over. A mother is a mother and you never really forget her. So perhaps do something as a family that she might have liked to have done. You know, go to maybe the same restaurant. If you're home and there was always a special dish that she liked, make the dish.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
And, you know, I often go by where my mom lived and I look up and I say to the window, Happy Mother's Day. That's cute. It's what it is. I mean, you know, you have... feelings about your mother and your father that you really never forget. Don't forget Father's Day is coming up soon, too. And the same goes for that. I mean, it's a love that is really surpasses all other loves, your parents.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
I like to listen because I like to hear how stupid we sometimes are. Okay. Speak for yourself. So I actually sometimes think to myself, oh, I shouldn't have said that or, oh, I wish I had said that. Yeah. I don't listen to the whole thing necessarily.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, I don't know. That I can't answer you. For me, it was because I lived across the street from my mom. So I would look up and pretend. Literally, I would see my mom waving to me in the morning and my father. So that was something that I really had. I think it's just a matter of looking up to the heavens.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
It's really not that you're looking in the air and talking, but you're thinking in an ethereal way about your parents if they're no longer around. But they're always around in your heart. I really do believe that. Of course.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Oh, yeah. We had a fun time yesterday. We really did. Firstly, we got dressed up in Tory Burch sent us both beautiful outfits that we happened to have picked out white. You had an adorable white sundress. I had a white with little black.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
And also when you're doing an event, this is some advice for those people out there that are doing maybe a parent-teacher's thing or some business activity. You have to be comfortable. And I said that to you. The jacket would not have been flexible. It was cute and it was very wearable if you wore it out for dinner and you took it off in a restaurant or you went to a movie and you took it off.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
But if you had to be running around and talking to people and going on a mic and then doing it, it wasn't flexible enough. So this way, the sundress really gave you the ability to not be restricted.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
It was perfect. It was a perfect eye thing. And I think everybody – it was interesting. We had so many more people. We were sold out, which was really wonderful because, you know, we didn't know how it would go. And we gave this event for Mother's Day as well as the charity that we got very involved with.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
We had two big boxes that they filled up immediately because everybody was terrific. They came in with shopping bags. One woman was bringing in all kinds of costume jewelry. I was thinking of going through the box. I know. It looks like good stuff.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
it was fun. We had a lot of fun. Everybody got into the spirit of it. And then the food was delicious that you got. I don't know. That was really wonderful. I didn't know you were going to have all that stuff. Well, you didn't know because you weren't part of the planning. I wouldn't have ever planned that. I would have given them a pretzel. So they're lucky that grandma wasn't doing the planning.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
You couldn't have more than that. We had almost 100 people in there. That was getting to be too tight.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
We'll do another one with some other place.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, that's it. So you've gone over it. I don't edit. So I don't really know if I made a mistake here or there and want to correct it the next time.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, you know, it's interesting. I give free advice. I'm in no way, shape, form working for Vogue. So don't take it literally. If you like the skirt the way it is, it's perfect. But, you know, after we meet so many young people and I meet so many young people at I've gotten so accustomed to telling you what to do. It's just a natural thing.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Actually, the woman who was the owner of the boutique said, which shoe should I wear, the higher here or the lower here? I said, you know what, whichever makes you comfortable because they were both very nice. But, you know, often you need an outside person to take a peek at your look because I know we're very short. So we have gotten better at it. You can't
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
that look at design that's meant for the models on the runway, or 6-1, and have no busts and no behinds have legs that go up like four miles. You have to know your proportions. And there are certain styles and certain designers that just don't work for us. And after a while, you get to know it. So the long skirt and the full skirt looks good on some people.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
On a very short person, they're not always so flattering. So we have to really be careful with our style. And hopefully, as everyone gets more mature, we realize it's not one-stop shop. Right. Like you're going to talk about that article that was in the paper.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
The view, Kimmy. First of all, to have an office – That you can look out and see the Statue of Liberty and all the beautiful buildings in downtown and the water. It's just breathtaking. You had that when you worked at Cheddar.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma’s Mother’s Day Special
Well, style-wise, I've got it down for myself. I certainly know what looks good on you and on your mom. Yeah. Other people I can't judge because, you know, I haven't seen their style as often. But, you know, your eye gets sort of trained there for a while.
