    EP 270 Anne & Kelli celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary, the kickoff to Pride Month & so much more!

    Join Anne & Kelli for their 270th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast recorded from HOME!!! They taped a little early, on June 1st, which happened to be their 13th wedding anniversary! They fill you in on their plans to celebrate in NYC & how they feel more love every day that passes. They also talk about kicking off Pride Month & what it means to them. First, they catch you up on flying home from Tromso, Norway via Frankfurt, Germany. The Frankfurt Airport Sheraton Hotel was super easy including all of the restaurants and bars right in the terminal. They spent the night there and, in the morning, took the tram straight to the boarding terminal where check-in and security were a total breeze. The issue came in when they arrived at passport control. The line was a mile long and not moving at all. Luckily, their friends Laurie and Ben were already in the middle of the line and let them join them. It still took 2 hours to get through the line. They are recommending that anyone traveling in Europe this summer specifically give themselves plenty of time for layovers etc. to get through passport control. Next, they talk about a little time at home amid lots of jetlag. Starting with a fun family celebration in NYC for Kelli's birthday, picking up their car after the repairs (when Kelli crashed it), Anne getting obsessed with viral Trader Joe's recipes and doing a big Trader Joe's run and dog sitting Vivi's dog Ziggy and making homemade food for him. Next, Kelli headed off to Punta Cana, DR for a Marriott Conference called Discover Cala at the W Hotel all-inclusive. She didn't know anyone attending the conference but made some new friends and also made great new connections. She explains how conferences work kind of like speed dating with suppliers that represent Marriott properties in the Caribbean and South America. Overall, she had a great time but was exhausted. While Kelli was away, Anne Stayed at home with Ziggy. She used that time to binge all the Housewives shows she was behind on, got lots of baby clothes from friends Jon & Steve to hand down to grandbaby Anthony and washed them all and got them all packaged up for their son Blake & his wife Teresa, had her mom over for a viral TikTok recipe of stuffed peppers (SO GOOD) and went to a co-op meeting with her mom and accidentally spilled an entire glass of rose wine on herself before the meeting even started! Classic! Once back together at home they had a lot more friend & family time! Starting with a last-minute layover visit from their friend Greg in Hackensack, NJ, Big Gay Brunch with their usual crew in Dobbs Ferry, NY right on the river, hanging with Anne's mom by her pool for wine and snacks, Kelli going to the back Dr for some good news on her back pain and Blake & Teresa brought baby Anthony over for his first visit at their apartment! They also catch you up on all of the TV shows they finished including Jury Duty on Amazon Prime, Imperfect Women and Friends and Neighbors both on Apple TV and The Comeback and Hacks on HBO Max. Most of all, they loved the series finale of Hacks. They will miss it so much but thought the ending was perfect and a great way to go out on top!

    EP 269 Anne & Kelli come to you remote from Norway!!

    Join Anne & Kelli for their 269th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast recorded remote from Norway! First, they catch you up on the rest of their first 10 days on Atlas. If you listened to their last episode, they podcasted from Edinburgh, Scotland. They talk about hitting up a speakeasy in Edinburgh called Panda & Sons with Kelli's brother Charles, his wife Kath and Anne's Musical Director Will. They also went to Mussel Inn, one of their favs for dinner. Next, they sailed to Belfast and had dinner at another favorite, Fish City. Anne had her first show of the week that was so crowded they had to add pool chairs to the dancefloor! The next stop was Dublin, and their best friends Jon & Steve showed up in Dublin for ONE NIGHT to surprise all of their friends that were travelling on the ship! They had an amazing lunch at The Ivy and ended up doing lots of baby guiness shots at The Temple Bar. It was quite a day! Then on to Waterford, the oldest city in Ireland and then to their favorite stop of all, Fowey, Cornwall. They then sailed back to London and had a night of bad seas. Once back in London, the first group of guests disembarked so they met up with their friends Darren Styles & Tom Tillman at OXO Tower for lunch and then cocktails at The American Bar at The Savoy Hotel. Next, they talk about the next 10 days on Atlas that sailed from London to Tromso, Norway. They actually got to sail out under The Tower Bridge which is completely unique and special and doesn't happen very often. Unfortunately, that night while crossing The North Sea the seas were very rough and both Anne & Will stayed in for the night and took some medication. The next day, Kelli went with Laurie and Ben for fish & chips in Dundee, Scotland while Anne had another colitis flare up. Later that day the Captain of the ship called a meeting for everyone on board about impending weather and schedule changes. In order to keep everyone safe and avoid the worst weather, he skipped Aberdeen and sailed straight to Skavenger, Norway. Anne had a show that night but it was before the weather got really bad. At about 5 am the weather started to get more aggressive. They proactively took meclizine and Zofran to get ahead of it. The waves were between 12-15 ft and at lunch people couldn't even carry their own plates! They went to bed and slept through most of it during the day and when they woke up around 3:30pm, they were entering the fjords and the weather was calm and lovely. They loved Norway. It was Norwegian National Day Weekend so everyone was celebrating and showing their pride in their country. The bars were packed, the restaurants were filled with happy people and everyone wore red, blue and white! The weather (besides those rough seas) was absolute perfection, sunny and in the 50s with blue skies. From Bergen to Vik to Nordfjordeid to Alesund, every bit of Norway was perfection. Finally, they welcome special guest star Ben, their youngest & most traveled listener to the show! He talks about all of their time together on these on these last 20 days but also tells incredible stories from his last trip to Australia! He also gives you a little travel hack! Plus, hear about where they are all traveling together next!! Don't forget their merch store at https://sniffapickle.printavo.com/merch/ilmw/  for lots of options!

    EP 264 Anne & Kelli catch you up on the blizzard, NYC nights, baby watch and so much more!

    Join Anne & Kelli for their 264th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast recorded from their home and their dining room table studio! First, they catch you up on Anne's new tour kicking off at City Vineyard. This show, Vinyl to Viral, will be the main show that she will tour with in 2026. Hear all about the workshop version of the show and the supportive friends that filled the space including their friend Sandra Bernhard and her wife Sara. Next, they talk about an overnight in NYC that included a brunch with friends Bradley & Matthew, a Taylor Swift speakeasy that was a total bust, playing cards at a rooftop bar where Kelli was overserved yet still beat Anne 3 times at Five Crowns and the next day driving their friend Greg up to Nyack during the beginning of the blizzard to take him to their favorite Irish Pub in Nyack The Olde Village Inn (OVI). Then came the blizzard that dropped 2 feet of snow but drifted so high that it blocked their parking garage so no one could leave the building. Also hear more random stories like their TV breaking and then receiving a new one that was also broken, selling sound equipment, loving the new Home Goods commercial and a birthday dinner with their friends Mark & David. Of course, they get super excited about their upcoming grandson that is due in just about 4 weeks. Their son Blake and their daughter-in-law Teresa came over for dinner and they got some quality time with the couple who are gearing up for the last-minute planning. Stay tuned for the big announcement when it all happens! Lastly, they talk about some TV shows they binged. Being Gordon Ramsay on Netflix even got them to book into his brand-new restaurant Lucky Cat at Bishopsgate when they are in London. They highly recommend this show to get a real insight into him as a parent and husband beyond just the chef. They also watched The Hunting Party on Netflix about a serial killer jail break and they give it a C+ mostly because of the way they use the FBI mega jet as a taxi. You have to see it to believe it. They are also excited that Bridgerton is back with new episodes even though this is their least favorite season so far. They also love The Pitt on HBO Max but also love that they release one episode a week so you have to actually wait for each one instead of binging them all. Finally, they get into their new segment called Tour vs Home Court. Each week they will talk about how one particular topic plays out for them when they are on the road or when they are at home. This week they tackle the topic of LIVING SPACE. Tune in every week for a different topic and always feel free to write them on social media to give suggestions of topics or listener questions as well.

They were both super impressed by Regent with décor, the all-suite rooms, the incredible food served on Versace plates, a fabulous Super Bowl party and super nice guests. Anne also gets into her 2 shows and working with the extra professional orchestra and what a difference that makes when being a touring singer. They also give their response to the halftime at The Super Bowl and how much they loved it. Next, they talk about spending some much needed time at home.

Anne also gets influenced to buy the new Opopop popcorn maker and a pizza slice storage container, both of which Kelli is skeptical about.

They also spend Galentine's Day with Anne's Mom and get several nights with their daughter Vivi and her dog Ziggy at their apartment. Lastly, they get super excited about the baby shower for their daughter-in-law Teresa & son Blake who are due with their first child in March. It was a Winnie the Pooh theme and it was very sweet. Teresa's family is Italian and always have every event filled with WAY too much food but it was all delicious and so much fun. They are now deciding what their grandson will call them and they believe they have settled on Grandma and Granny. No hashtags please! Haha! They also are dog sitting Ziggy for a week and immediately had him groomed before he was allowed to sleep in their bed! They also had a dinner with friends Sandra Bernhard and her wife Sara Switzer and are over the moon excited for Sandy's announcement that she will be on the new White Lotus Season 4!
