Show notes

Kim and Grandma Gail are back in New York after a little Florida stint, settling into holiday season real talk with St. Francis Winery.

In The Rewind, they discuss movies that the whole family can agree and bond over during the holidays. The episode wraps up with a Should We Bring It Back? on controversial holiday songs and an Ask Grandma Anything on boundaries, gift budgets, friend drama, and navigating your first holiday without someone you love.

Excuse My Grandma’s Start of Palm Beach Season and How We Stay Close From Miles Apart Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

Kim and Gail tape the podcast on a video call, even though it was not easy getting Grandma to join! They catch up long-distance and slide straight into Palm Beach season: hot dogs at The Breakers, golf-course etiquette, and the absurdity of a “restaurant hawk.” Kim ranks New York’s matzo ball soups (Sarge’s takes the lead), debriefs a month of being sick, and recaps her parents’ 35th anniversary—sparking a debate on checks vs. sentimental gifts. There’s Mahjong-party planning, snowbird “welcome week” for the 50-plus crowd, and real talk on staying close across generations with calls, voicemails, and social media.

They hit the Drama Club with Kris Jenner’s Bond-night 70th birthday at Bezos’ house and muse on milestone birthdays. Nostalgia gets a fresh spin with Eloise at the Plaza headed for a live-action film with Ryan Reynolds. In the Rewind, Kim and Gail talk about bingeing Nobody Wants This and Kim cops to enjoying All’s Fair—Kim K’s legal soap—despite the reviews. The episode wraps with Should We Bring It Back?: Florida Nostalgia Edition, and an Ask Grandma Anything covering Wicked tickets, how to actually make new friends, and chic black flats that don’t read “grandma” (think brands like Sam Edelman, Larroude, and styles like Mary Janes, square or pointy toes, suede or croc).
