Speaker 1: It's recording. I have a seven minutes already of nonsense.
Speaker 1: I have eight minutes of thirty one seconds of bullshit.
Speaker 1: Read that iron our nightcouts, and I'm not wearing the bra.
Speaker 1: My boobies are running the table. You can't see start
Speaker 1: on a video. Okay, you got it. I'm not I
Speaker 1: need a handcuft I just said the same thing. I
Speaker 1: had a complaint I'd suffer in Silent Rida. Today, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do a bonus episode because people love this podcast
Speaker 1: so much, so we're gonna give them a little bit more.
Speaker 1: And not only are we going to give them more,
Speaker 1: we're gonna introduce them to the creator behind this whole
Speaker 1: fabulous podcast, the Inimitable Narrow Post. I don't even know
Speaker 1: how to follow up with that, and I hope I
Speaker 1: can keep up with my girls. You know, my big
Speaker 1: casting was I put Michael Caine into cider House Rules,
Speaker 1: which humidated his career, all right. And I had put
Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow and Emma, which was before Shakespeare and Love.
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of other casting coups that I've had,
Speaker 1: and you, guys, I don't know. I think you might
Speaker 1: be my greatest find oh, Ellen, Wow, Ellen, we gotta
Speaker 1: we need go sho. We gotta be that Michael kay contracts. Okay, listen, girls,
Speaker 1: Before we get into it, I want to share some
Speaker 1: exciting news. We've been renewed. We're gonna have Hey, my,
Speaker 1: I mean it makes sense. It's been such a hit
Speaker 1: and people have been loving it so much. It's terrific.
Speaker 1: Ellen's news. Oh my god, what do you think? Great?
Speaker 1: You tell me first what you think. I'm excited beyond words. Listen,
Speaker 1: I became a celebrity. I don't want to give up
Speaker 1: the status. I mean, girls, just hope I make another
Speaker 1: six months. That's all I'm telling you. We're rushing into production.
Speaker 1: We've told them my talent is ninety years old. I
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of time to wait. Go see
Speaker 1: you navn do why? But I'm ready. We are thrilled
Speaker 1: to be in the show. Marrow. How did you get
Speaker 1: the idea? I've always drawn from my personal life for
Speaker 1: the material that I've created, and for this show. It
Speaker 1: was based on the crazy antics of my mother. She's
Speaker 1: the person dancing naked on the terrorists while there's a snowstorm.
Speaker 1: My daughter and my niece had created an Instagram account
Speaker 1: called elly Grammy Graham, which means I love you Grammy Graham,
Speaker 1: and it was popular amongst my kids, friends and my friends.
Speaker 1: I started to think, well, if they're enjoying it, I
Speaker 1: bet you they would want to hear from other grandmothers exactly.
Speaker 1: Your mother's episode was one of my absolute favorites. I
Speaker 1: really feel like I know her. Ellen. When you first
Speaker 1: heard that you got the gig, who was the first
Speaker 1: person that you told? And what did you say? How
Speaker 1: did you explain it? I called my daughter at Her
Speaker 1: response was no way, Mom, she says, I'm getting on
Speaker 1: the phone right now sending out emails. What is it
Speaker 1: coming out? She was so excited, she says, Oh, Mom,
Speaker 1: she says, no matter what happens, it's something to do
Speaker 1: during this terrible year, because I really I haven't seen
Speaker 1: my kids and since last April. And how did you
Speaker 1: receive the materials for the recording? And what did you
Speaker 1: think when you got them? Well? I know what a
Speaker 1: headset is. I mean, I have grandchildren, I see them
Speaker 1: with it on all the time. But I have to
Speaker 1: be honest. I had to send my phone over to
Speaker 1: my grandson so he could create the dropbox. But once
Speaker 1: you do it once, It's like riding a bicycle. You
Speaker 1: do it? What what do you do it? I still
Speaker 1: fall off a bite? So what do you do? First
Speaker 1: of all, I didn't even know that I Heart was
Speaker 1: sending us equipment. I get this box in the nail.
Speaker 1: Oh what, I didn't order anything. I opened it up.
Speaker 1: I don't know there's a black thing that you put
Speaker 1: this phone on. I didn't know what the hell that
Speaker 1: whole thing was about. So who do I call? Poor Rachel?
Speaker 1: That polone? If that the third podcast? I finally got it.
Speaker 1: That's not bad. We have six so far. Three that's
Speaker 1: not too bid. And now I know I've been asked
Speaker 1: so many times, how did we script your response your conversations.
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize that we would just play
Speaker 1: you the episode when it was all edited and finished,
Speaker 1: so that you didn't get us hear anything beforehand. Even
Speaker 1: your own episodes, you didn't get to hear beforehand. So
Speaker 1: the first time you heard your episode was when you
Speaker 1: did the commentary. It was just sort of stream of
Speaker 1: consciousness exactly. You know, we heard something and it ignited
Speaker 1: something in one of us, and we just took off
Speaker 1: from there and we don't know. When we're together, never
Speaker 1: have a moment when we can't think of something to say. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's amazing Ellen. I have to say that
Speaker 1: we were able to extemporaneously discuss these things, and one
Speaker 1: thing left to another. Many times we were laughing at
Speaker 1: when it brought up. Ellen goes into her stories that
Speaker 1: she has, and I think if it was scripted, you
Speaker 1: would get the feeling that it was scripted, plus the
Speaker 1: factoria that you and I are good friends, and so
Speaker 1: that's a big thing, ain't true. You sort of know
Speaker 1: what to expect to come out of my mouth, and
Speaker 1: I never know what to expect to come out I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say, yeah, we don't know what's gonna come
Speaker 1: out of Reda's mouth. But girls, you know it's not
Speaker 1: offensive that you know, and it's not dirty. I never
Speaker 1: said the words shop or anything like. So, girls, how
Speaker 1: are you enjoying your new found fame? I'm telling I'm
Speaker 1: getting respect I never planned on. I am hearing from
Speaker 1: people that I forgot that I knew was that you
Speaker 1: wanted today. So, oh my god, oh my god. My
Speaker 1: son says to me, you know that four million people
Speaker 1: listen to the Today Show who would imagine at this
Speaker 1: age what we're doing. I mean, maryl, thank you you
Speaker 1: gave us a life we never expect that. I really
Speaker 1: mean it. And I have to say that the hosts
Speaker 1: could not have been more welcoming or more everybody. Thank
Speaker 1: you way that they're giving this whole little life and
Speaker 1: we're enjoying it together together together. That's the best part
Speaker 1: about friendship. I haven't spoken to you guys about it,
Speaker 1: but how was your experience on the Today Show? It
Speaker 1: was a very out of body experience, it really was.
Speaker 1: And to sit and watch myself on the Today So
Speaker 1: I have looked at that linked ten times already. I
Speaker 1: keep looking at it. I do too, and I can't
Speaker 1: believe it's me. The kids are very excited with this.
Speaker 1: My eleven year old granddaughter calls me all the time.
Speaker 1: Do you want to know what the stats are? Now? Nana?
Speaker 1: I went on and you're in the eighth place here,
Speaker 1: and I said, how do you know that? I look
Speaker 1: it up, Nana, I do it every day. Yeah. Seeing
Speaker 1: a climb up the charts was a wild experience. The kids,
Speaker 1: they're very proud. I'm telling you all. So what are
Speaker 1: you hoping people will get out of the podcast. Hopefully
Speaker 1: this podcast will awaken the young people to say that,
Speaker 1: you know, there's something in a relationship to a grandmother.
Speaker 1: I only think this is gonna make a big change,
Speaker 1: well in this particular climate, when this past year has
Speaker 1: been so awful for everybody. Everybody needs a grandma. It's
Speaker 1: a mess for that we're doing. That's right at those
Speaker 1: people that don't have a grandma are adopting us. I
Speaker 1: think it's the grandchildren who are not that close to
Speaker 1: the grandmother. If they listen to all our podcasts, I
Speaker 1: guarantee you they'll get on the phone and call their grandmother.
Speaker 1: There's no way you can't. That's very true. That's very
Speaker 1: very true. And people have been loving it so much,
Speaker 1: beyond excited to do it again next season. Okay, so
Speaker 1: it's the concept gonna be the same, the same concept.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be you guys hosting, but we're gonna have
Speaker 1: a diverse group of grandmothers with grandchildren. I think that's
Speaker 1: terrific and I know some grandmothers who would be fabulous
Speaker 1: for this. Now that we've heard the exciting news about
Speaker 1: a second season, the producers have given us a note
Speaker 1: to read to our listeners, I wonder what this could be. Okay,
Speaker 1: in season one, we focused our Jewish grandmothers, and now
Speaker 1: we're opening it up to all grandmothers and we want
Speaker 1: to hear from you. So, do you know a grandmother
Speaker 1: and a grandchild who you think would be perfect for
Speaker 1: Call your Grandmother. We want to hear from unique grandmothers
Speaker 1: with big personalities and great stories who have particularly loving
Speaker 1: and close relationships with the treasured grandchild. Anyone who would
Speaker 1: like to be considered should submit a short cell phone
Speaker 1: video and a brief written description of you and your
Speaker 1: grandmother to the Call your Grandmother Facebook page. You'll find
Speaker 1: more details on how to submit on the Facebook page. Two,
Speaker 1: go into Facebook and type in Call your Grandmother podcast
Speaker 1: Grandparents Have your Grandchild? Drinna help you. You'll see our
Speaker 1: page with the yellow logo. You know, I have a
Speaker 1: term of a grandmother and grandchild that I think would
Speaker 1: be great for this, But you know what, this is
Speaker 1: open for every grandmother and grandchild, right. You don't have
Speaker 1: to be Jewish. It's like Levi's Rye Bread used to say,
Speaker 1: you don't have to be Jewish to love leaves. So
Speaker 1: you don't have to be Jewish. To be. I'd call
Speaker 1: your grandmother. That's true. Every grandmother and grandchild has their
Speaker 1: own unique relationship. And we're darting to hear from you. Guys.
Speaker 1: This made the pandemic for us, and I hope that
Speaker 1: the people that listen to it it brings a little
Speaker 1: smile on their faith and a little happiness. And that's
Speaker 1: our goal. That's our goal, green happiness. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: We are the Happiness Twins. And I'm not going while
Speaker 1: they endemic is on. I go before the pandemic and
Speaker 1: I'll think, you know, there's a way you could ice
Speaker 1: me up and put me in a Please listen, I
Speaker 1: know people in Florida. I think this is a true story.
Speaker 1: Husband dared she put him in because she didn't want
Speaker 1: to give up the season in Florida. That you buried
Speaker 1: him in the season. You've heard that story before. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you she must have lived in my building right
Speaker 1: right for now, we're signing off, but we can't wait
Speaker 1: for season two. Bye, don't forget me by hope to
