Excuse My Grandma

Kim and Grandma Gail are talking about summer in the Hamptons, modern dating, and the red flags that deserve a second look. Kim recaps spotting finance bros “in the wild” at the U.S. Open, while Grandma reveals exactly how she would approach a cute guy at Surf Lodge.

They also debate whether summer flings are worth the potential heartbreak, why certain dating app compliments give an immediate ick, and how to avoid repeating the patterns of a toxic relationship. Plus, they play Red Flag, White and Blue and weigh in on calling your mom three times a day, dating before a divorce is finalized, and whether a man should pay for your ride home after a first date.

In this Father’s Day episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail reflect on the dads, grandfathers, and father figures who shape our lives. They start with the lighter side of the holiday, from Knicks merch and dad jokes to Poppy’s Waze obsession and the classic things all dads seem to do.

Then, Kim and Grandma are joined by Matt Fogelson, author of Restrung: Fatherhood in a Different Key, for a deeper conversation about grief, fatherhood, complicated parent relationships, and what it means to carry someone’s memory forward. Matt shares how losing his father, becoming a father himself, and finding healing through music helped him understand his past while choosing a different future.

This episode is a reminder that Father’s Day can be joyful, funny, emotional, and complicated all at once.

Jared talks about his new book, Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy Friend, sharing a male perspective on modern dating, commitment, dating apps, getting back together with an ex, and why men and women often approach relationships so differently.

Kim, Grandma Gail, and Jared also compare dating across generations, from Grandma Gail’s world of phone calls and setups to today’s endless apps, Instagram stories, and confusing situationships. Plus, they answer listener questions about dating over 60, following exes, moving for a relationship, and what your mother should, and absolutely should not, know about your dating life.
