  • EP 271 Anne & Kelli shout out the NY Knicks, visit NOLA, talk about Kelli's Mom's visit to NY & so much more!
    Jun 19 2026
    Join Anne & Kelli for their 271st NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast recorded from HOME!!! They start the show by shouting out the NY Knicks winning the NBA Finals in 5 games after a 53 year gap from the last time they won. They talk about how exciting it is to be in NYC right now with all the excitement and joy surrounding the historic win! They catch you up on their 13th wedding anniversary celebration in NYC that they kicked off with Kelli getting a brand-new haircut called a gamine (a shaggy pixie cut). They had beers at a fun gay bar, had a lovely Italian dinner, went to Brandy's Piano Bar for some incredible music from Anne's MD William TN Hall and singing by their friends Tara and Jon and ended the evening with a happy meal from McDonald's! The next day they had a lovely Mexican lunch outside and then headed home. Later that day they took Anne's Mom to dinner and to see Devil Wears Prada 2 and they loved it. Next, they headed down to New Orleans for a quick weekend. It started by waking up at 3am to drive to La Guardia Airport to park for their 7am flight. In New Orleans they checked into their favorite hotel The Ritz Carlton and lucky for them they got an early check-in! They also got upgraded to the Club Lounge level by Kelli's amazing hotel rep Allison. After Kelli did a quick tour and lunch with Allison, they headed to visit Kelli's sister Claire, who owns Audubon Facial Plastics on Magazine Street. Claire gave them Botox and also removed a mole for Anne. After their face refreshment, they headed to lunch at Royal House Oyster Bar for Abita beers and blue crab claws (Anne's absolute favorite). They were so tired from being up so early so they just went back to the Club Lounge and played Five Crowns and had cocktails plus they watched game 2 of the Knicks/Spurs series and it actually kept them awake because it was so exciting! The Knicks won by 1 point! The next day they went to lunch with Claire and her husband Caleb, who are expecting their 3rd child in July! Anne & Kelli shared a mufalatta sandwich, a classic NOLA sandwich. Next, they headed to the Creole Tomato Festival which was a total bust. Instead, they headed to Frenchmen Street, a famous street for local live music in NOLA. They started at their favorite place, The Spotted Cat, and stayed for a couple of hours and saw 2 different bands. After that, they went to The Maison for one more set of fantastic local music. They went back to The Ritz to the Club where they were serving champagne and caviar on a cart. What a fancy way to end the evening with more Five Crowns and of course Kelli took a tub in the beautiful free-standing bathtub in their room. Unfortunately, their flight home was delayed several times. They just hung out at the Delta Lounge at the airport and watched the opening number of the Tony Awards on Anne's ipad. They were obsessed with Pink and how incredible she was in the show, especially the opening number and her performance with the cast of Chicago! When they eventually took off they were able to stream the whole Tony Awards on Anne's ipad, so big shoutout to Delta for their free wifi! Once they were home, Kelli caught up with Dr's appointments including her pain management Dr for her back and got her colonoscopy! They also began prepping for Kelli's Mom Melanie to visit! Mellie arrived and they had fun lunches and dinners in Nyack and NYC. Kelli & Mellie went to see Buena Vista Social Club on Broadway and loved it. One night the fire alarm went off at 2am and they all had to go outside until the building was cleared by the Fire Department. The next day they went into NYC again to meet for dinner with Anne's Mom Sue, their daughter Vivi and their niece Indie. It was a fun girls' dinner at La Masseria. After dinner, Mellie, Kelli and Anne went to see Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York on Broadway and they loved it. The next day was gay pride in Nyack and their son Blake & his wife Teresa brought baby Anthony to meet his great-grandmother Mellie for the first time. They all walked into town for Pride and then came back home for dinner and baby snuggles. The next day Kelli took Mellie to the airport for her flight but it was delayed. She was on standby for several other flights but everything was oversold. Eventually….her flight was cancelled! So, during their taping, Mellie returned! They grabbed her for a quick interview! She talks a little about her flight drama but really was a good sport about a very long day. She also talks about her trip highlights that of course included meeting baby Anthony Joel and the Broadway shows. Lastly, they explain what is coming next. They are heading off to Sweden, Norway and the Arctic, and have a luggage weight restriction so they cannot bring the remote podcasting equipment, so they will be taking a month off. The next episode will air July 17th (right after Anne's birthday on the 15th!) Don't forget their merch store at https://sniffapickle.printavo.com/merch/ilmw/ ...

  • EP 270 Anne & Kelli celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary, the kickoff to Pride Month & so much more!
    Jun 5 2026

    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!!
    May 22 2026

    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!!
