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.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Palm Beach Season Finale and Recession Dating
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

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

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

Well, you have two chairs, but one you use for your makeup.

You put a dressing table in your bedroom.

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.

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
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

Now we've cured everybody. You guys, if there's a person listening to this podcast that isn't cured now.
Excuse My Grandma

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.

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'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

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.
Excuse My Grandma
Excuse My Grandma's Guide to Etiquette
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.
