30 Jan 2025
In this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail interview Netflix star, matchmaker, and author Aleeza Ben Shalom. But first, they catch up in Palm Beach: Gail has been brushing up on Bridge and panicking over Wi-Fi outages, while Kim dives into pop culture news. In The Drama Club, Kim fills Grandma in on the Speidi-Alex Cooper-Sofia saga. They then deliver The Grandma Report, reviewing Oscar nominations and giving hot takes on how Hollywood has lost its glamor. Do you agree? In The Rewind, Grandma’s currently bingeing Vera and Murder In on Amazon Prime (now that the TV is back on). For a dose of unrealistic reality, catch up on Kim’s latest obsession– Love Island: All-Stars. Later, Aleeza Ben Shalom joins to discuss her book Matchmaker Matchmaker, her journey as a matchmaker, and how to date in 2025 with traditions of the past. While Aleeza loves a set-up, she tells listeners how to be your own matchmaker while using apps and your network. Like Grandma Gail, the special guest has rules when it comes to finding love, including “Date ‘em till you hate ‘em,” and “No-Touching for 5 Dates.” Aleeza’s latest book, Matchmaker Matchmaker, shares real life client stories + expert tips to use in your own life. To end the episode, Kim, Grandma, and Aleeza answer listener questions about interfaith marriage and missing their cheating ex. The results of Grandma’s Old Fashioned Dating Quiz?

Full Episode
Welcome back to another episode of Excuse My Grandma. It's Kim and my co-host.
Grandma Gail.
So this week we are going to have an interview with Aliza Ben Shalom from the Jewish Matchmaker. We'll get to that in just a little bit. We recorded it in New York, so we'll toss to that. But in the meantime, grandma, how are you?
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.
You weren't playing even when I was here, though.
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.
I don't know why. the TV is even connected to Wi-Fi.
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.
Like I could have unplugged the router and replugged it in. We did it. But we didn't know where it was.
