24 Apr 2025 | Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating | 00:50:44 | |
In this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail say goodbye to Palm Beach for the season. They’ll miss the sunshine, easy access to Gail’s closet, and the beach. However, they’re excited to head back to NYC for spring, where they’ll celebrate back-to-back birthdays, see their friends, and eat at their favorite restaurants. In The Drama Club, Kim and Grandma discuss how musical festivals have evolved since Woodstock. Where that was a social rebellion, Coachella is more of a branded event where concert-goers pay for their tickets in payment plans. Not Grandma-Approved. The hosts then break down the TIME article, “The Silver Lining of Dating in a Recession” in The Grandma Report. Could this be a good thing? Kim thinks so! With more budget-conscious daters, people will go on or create more creative dates, which will be more meaningful. Grandma’s tip: Go for pizza and put some money away for a rainy day. Read it here! Catch up on Kim’s current shows in The Rewind! She just finished "Love Is Blind” and is watching “Dying For Sex” and “Your Friends and Neighbors.” Grandma Gail’s Hotline rings next. How should a caller feel about a man she’s been on 11 dates with and isn't showing as much interest as she’d like? Grandma has thoughts. They also give their opinions on therapy. Leave a voicemail at Grandma Gail’s Voicemail, DM us on Instagram, or email team@excusemygrandma.com for advice! In a game of Should We Bring It Back: Things To Do in Florida Edition, Kim and Gail vote on what deserves a comeback. They also answer a round of Ask Grandma Anything about ghosting (which Gail says always happened in the past but now there’s a name for it), favorite vacation destinations, dealing with the loss of a mother, and where to meet people in your late 30s. To end the episode, Kim and Grandma reflect on what they learned this season.
