They wish everyone happy holidays and hope that you are all surrounded by people that you love, whether that be family or a family of friends. Before getting to their holidays, they first talk about losing their friend Gavin Creel and the amazing memorial that was held in his honor. It was truly a beautiful way to remember a man that so many people loved so much. Next, they discuss the shooting of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the complicated reaction that people are having about the whole thing, including the conversation about healthcare and insurance in this country and the reform that is so badly needed. Hear about Anne’s big holiday concert this year which was slightly complicated by her knee injury, but it was a huge success and so much fun. Plus, city nights out that included dinner with friends that came into town for Anne’s show, a piano bar night to celebrate Will’s birthday and a dinner at The Tin Building, seeing friends Natalie Joy Johnson and Brian Nash perform at a new venue called The So and So and dinner with friends Bradley and Matthew at their place.

Christmas cookies, hosting their annual friends and family party, having their family Christmas Eve on Dec 23rd, Kelli making gumbo on the 24th and taking Anne’s Mom to the city for holiday lights and dinner on the 25th.

They are excited to have some fun dinners and enjoy the last NYE in their Jersey City apartment. Finally, they talk about what comes next for them.

    EP 234 Kelli & Anne head to Louisiana for the Thanksgiving holiday!

    Join Anne & Kelli for their 234th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast. They are again podcasting from home! They start by wishing a happy birthday to Anne’s Musical Director and bestie Will. They wish him the best day and year ahead and can’t wait to continue to travel the world with him. Before getting to the holidays, they first talk about going to see the movie Wicked! They went to the IPIC theater at Fulton Street in Manhattan that serves drinks and food and had the most amazing time. They loved the movie and the performances and highly recommend it to everyone! Now they get to heading down to Louisiana for the Thanksgiving holiday. They started in New Orleans where they stayed at their favorite hotel there, The Ritz Carlton. They love the club level there and all of the fabulous holiday decorations. They had wonderful lunches and dinners with Kelli’s brother Charles and sister-in-law Kath, got Botox from Kelli’s sister Claire at her practice, Audubon Facial Plastics, and had a family dinner at Peche. Next, they headed to Baton Rouge for the first Thanksgiving since losing Kelli’s father Joel. They knew it would be an emotional trip but it felt so good to be surrounded by their huge family. Every night was a different theme dinner night from Lebanese to Mexican. Thanksgiving Day started with the Macy’s Day Parade and then a lunch in the country at Kelli’s birth father Charles’ home surrounded by that huge family with lots of young children to enjoy. They then headed back to Kelli’s Mom Melanie’s house for their traditional Thanksgiving dinner. This was where Joe’s presence was missed the most as he always carved the turkey, did the blessing and led a circle up with everyone saying what they are grateful for that year. Melanie did a great job leading the prayer and saying something beautiful to honor Joel. After dinner we all watched the Green Bay Packers win to make the night end in the absolute best way! The rest of the weekend started with the cousins annual Black Friday shopping trip. While they were away, Kelli’s brother Charles made his delicious Chicken and Andouille Gumbo for dinner that night. It also happened to be their daughter Vivi’s 22nd birthday and Charles’ 55th birthday so they had a cake after dinner. Now that all the cousins are young adults, they decided to take Vivi out for her birthday and lucky for her, our son Blake offered to be the sober driver. They all had quite a night and Blake and his wife Teresa ended up being more of babysitters than they expected. Needless to say, everyone but Blake was totally hungover the next day. They all headed to the airport on Saturday with some flight delays, but even so, they were happy to be back home again. Finally, they talk about what comes next for them. Mostly they are excited to be home now through the holidays. They will start packing for their big move after Christmas and they are not looking forward to that. Anne also talks about her next concert that is coming up in Ft Lauderdale at Sunshine Cathedral on Feb 1st.

    EP 233 Anne & Kelli hit the road again including road tripping across the desert!

    Join Anne & Kelli for their 233rd NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast. They are again podcasting from home.   They start by addressing their feelings post-election and their disappointment in the direction that our country continues to go. They have taken a break from the news and are focusing on staying connected to their friends and family that continue to support each other in these complicated times. They also talk about rallying for mid-tern elections in 2 years and how important every single election is and that we must always VOTE. They talk about Kelli’s travels to Baton Rouge to visit her mother and to have all of her favorite foods like shrimp po-boys, marinated crab claws and char gilled oysters. Next, she headed to Las Vegas to attend the Signature Travel Conference at The Venetian Hotel. Between seeing good travel friends, making amazing new connections and speaking at an LGBTQ Travel Symposium, it was a very successful trip. Next hear about what Anne was up to while Kelli was away. First, to feel better post-election, Anne decided to get a head start decorating for Christmas. She also went shopping and to lunch with her mom, had a Christmas show rehearsal with her Musical Director Will which included a Mexican dinner out, drinking at a local dive bar and a massive hangover the next day!  Don’t forget Anne’s upcoming annual Christmas show on Dec 4th at Green Room 42 in NYC. There are also LIVE STREAM tickets if you aren’t in NYC. You can find all of Anne’s tour dates and info at www.annesteele.com  Then hear about their road trip across the desert from Las Vegas to Palm Springs which included stops at Cane’s for the best chicken fingers ever, a strange pit-stop at the Pioneer Saloon and a lovely drive through the desert. Once they arrived in Palm Springs, they checked into the new Thompson Hotel that is absolutely stunning and had diner at Tac/Quila. The next day was a show day for Anne so of course she wanted a sandwich from The Sandwich Spot. The show was a huge success and was filled with much needed love and acceptance. Next an after-party at Boozehounds, a brunch the next day at EIGHT4NINE, boozy shopping at Just Fabulous Palm Springs and dinner at Workshop. Finally, they flew home through delays and a very bumpy flight. After getting to sleep at 3am they both made it to their Dentist appointments, even against Kell’s will. Finally, they talk about reaching out to listeners and social media followers about their favorite small businesses to support this holiday season. Starting with Quix Chocolate, check out this Belgium chocolate shop based in Detroit and owned by an amazing gay couple, David and Tony. The chocolates are authentic, delicious and beautifully packaged. www.quixchocolate.com Next, check out Sniff a Pickle, a specialty customized merchandise store owned by their besties and husbands, Jon and Steve and based in Nyack, NY. They also have an online store and have their own line of specialty pickles too! www.sniffapickle.com  Last week they talked about their former podcast guests, Gillian and Kim, that own the Asheville Bee Charmer. They lost both of their stores during Hurricane Helene and they could definitely use some support. Their online store is still open and it’s the perfect time to grab some gifts or stocking stuffers and support a lesbian owned business. Check out their favorite, the firecracker honey! www.ashevillebeecharmer.com Many of you reached out about Dapper Boi, a body-inclusive apparel line founded by married couple Vicky and Charissa. If you are looking for gender-neutral, size inclusive clothing that allow people to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, check it out. www.dapperboi.com Lastly, check out their friend Kathy Valentine, who is a photographer in the tri-state area.

    EP 231 Kelli & Anne talk about loss and how to keep going through it all

    Join Anne & Kelli for their 231st NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast. They are again podcasting from home. This is a little bit of a heavy episode because they have been through a lot this past week. Kelli’s father Joel Safer passed away on Oct 9th. They were able to make it to Baton Rouge in time to be there when he passed unexpectedly. Anne was holding his hand when he slipped away peacefully without pain.  This is a terrible loss to the family and to Kelli’s Mother Melanie. The good thing is that all of the siblings and their husbands and wives gathered together to support each other. Also, Joel gave his wife and children an amazing gift by planning his own arrangements. It really helped the family because it is so hard to think of planning when you are grieving. Overall, they are so lucky to have an amazing family and an awesome group of friends to help support each other though all of it. Next, they talk about losing their friend Gavin Creel. He was not only a brilliantly talented, Tony winning Broadway star and singer/songwriter, he was a kind, loving and incredibly supportive human. The world has lost a bright light that was gone way too soon at the age of 48. They will never forget the impact that Gavin made, not only on their lives, but on the world. May we all live the way he lived. They talk about finding a new apartment in Nyack, NY, their connection to that town via family and close friends and attending a fundraiser for the 45th Anniversary for the Center for Safety and Change, and organization that supports women and children in crisis in Rockland County, NY. Their friend, and former podcast guest Steven Carroll, is the Director of the Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Program at the Center and invited them to purchase tickets at his table for the fundraiser. They were so glad they attended because they were able to contribute to a cause they believe in and to help support women in their new community. They also talk about some lighter topics such as traveling to Cancun for a site visit at the Hilton All-Inclusive, family visits like dinner with their son Blake & daughter-in-law Teresa at Razza in Jersey City, driving to Delaware to take their daughter Vivi to lunch and having Anne’s musical director Will over for dinner and rehearsal for Anne’s upcoming Christmas show in NYC on Dec 4th and her show in Palm Springs on Nov 16th. They also chat about new haircuts, Instagram viral dinner options, their current TV binges, Anne’s upcoming Oceania Cruises gig and finally the upcoming election on Nov 5th! Everyone please volunteer, donate and most importantly VOTE!
