Excuse My Grandma While We Dive Into Love and Matchmaking Ft. Aleeza Ben Shalom

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? Listen to the episode to find out where Aleeza stands!
