Join Anne & Kelli for their 262nd NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast recorded remotely from their hotel room in Costa Rica!

First, they catch you up on their facial recovery post-op and let you know their progress. Then they get into a very special Atlas Ocean Voyages event they were invited to at The Explorer's Club in NYC. It was all about launching a brand-new ship, The Atlas Adventurer, that has stable sails and will travel through Asia and Africa. They also headed to an after-party at The Carlyle Hotel and ended at their friend Gregg's apartment ordering McDonald's on a freezing NYC night.

Next, they talk about more home time that involved a birthday party for friend & listener Laurie at a fun indoor adult only putt putt place called Swingers and dinner at The Smith in NOMAD. Then they had a HUGE snowstorm that filled their town with 19 inches of snow! They also had a fun dinner with besties Jon and Steve (owners of their merch company Sniff a Pickle) and actually made it to an anniversary party for friends Julie and Alissa where Kelli was overserved!

Hear about the brilliant marketing plan by Morton's Steakhouse that Anne became obsessed with. It was called Bubbles and Bites and it was for "fry January" instead of 'dry January". It was basically a meal deal by Vueve Clicquot that included 2 sliders, truffle fries and either a glass of Vueve or a Belvedere Martini all for $23! All of the packaging was branded with the orange Vueve logos and it was delicious! It's all about the marketing because everyone in the bar was having the same meals! They also talk about watching the Live Skyscraper Climb on Netflix and how it caused too much anxiety for both of them. They did finally watch Come See Me in the Good Light, the documentary about poet Andrea Gibson and their untimely death from cancer. They highly recommend this beautiful film about a truly gifted artist that touched so many people in this world. Next they packed up for their trip to Ft Lauderdale for Anne's concert.

Then hear all about the Ft Lauderdale trip that included lots of strip mall visits, a fire at a restaurant mid-meal, lunches and dinners with long-time friends, Anne's concert at Sunshine Cathedral that also included a kickass band with her MD William TN Hall and a local band all curated by drummer/podcast listener Julie Jacobs, a post-show huge line for photos with so many old and new friends in attendance and after party at Apt 9F (lesbian owned) in Wilton Manors that was so packed that they had to turn people away! The following day they always brunch with besties at Rosie's in Wilton and then headed to Miami for a night before flying down to Costa Rica for one night before boarding a Regent Cruise where Anne is headlining for the first time! Stay tuned for more info in the next episode on that adventure!

Join Anne & Kelli for their 261st NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast. In this episode they speak openly and honestly about some minor facial procedures they recently had in New Orleans. Kelli's sister, Dr Claire Melancon, is a double board-certified Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon who has her own private practice, Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery, on Magazine Street in New Orleans. They talk about making the decision and how important it is to trust your surgeon and that they trusted Claire implicitly. Anne had a lower blepharoplasty (lower eye lift to remove inherited bags & dark circles) and a CO2 laser peel, all while under anesthesia on New Year's Eve. Kelli had an in-office version of the CO2 peel and was awake during that procedure on Jan 2nd.

They talk about the entire process. From booking a week at an Air B&B and stocking the kitchen with a shopping list made from a menu of salt-free and anti-inflammatory recipes to help with swelling and healing, to the actual details of the procedures, the recovery process that included some considerable setbacks for Anne because of unknown allergies, puzzles, Five Crowns, TV binges and so much more.

Also hear about their extended time in Baton Rouge with Kelli's Mom Mellie, after their week in New Orleans because of Anne's allergic reaction. They went to the movies, played lots of Five Crowns, watched QVC for the first time, and had some meals at two of their favorites, Mansur's and Phil's Oyster Bar before heading back to NOLA for one last check-in with Claire before heading home.

Next, they talk about coming home to an apartment still filled with Christmas decorations and that take down process. They spent time with family that included dinner with their daughter Vivi in NYC, taking Anne's Mom Sue to brunch at the fabulous Valley Rock Inn, and dinner with their son Blake and his wife Teresa to see the new sonogram pics of their baby to come!

Then hear about their current TV binges that included Landman and The Better Sister. They are also super excited that The Pitt and Traitors are back!

Join Anne & Kelli for their 258th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast

This episode is actually recorded from their home where they had a few days of downtime before heading off on another trip! They talk about decorating early for Christmas and when is too early? They enjoyed a little time with their son Blake setting up their BIG tree that DID fit into their new place, had a family dinner in the city at Carmine's uptown, had Chinese food & hung ornaments with Blake & his wife Teresa & watched the Packers game while packing for their big Thanksgiving trip to Louisiana.

Next, they talk about shows they finished and binged that included The Morning Show on Apple TV, The Diplomat on Netflix, The Beast in Me on Netflix and It's All Her Fault on Peacock. They also are loving Tournament of Champions Holiday Edition and The Great British Baking Show Holiday Edition on Netflix.

Now hear about them heading off to New Orleans! They talk about the hotel they tried for the first time, The Nopsi Hotel and how they received a $100 food and beverage credit and each got a $30 breakfast credit. That's what happens when you book through a Travel Advisor like Kelli! Kelli's brother Charles and his wife Kath joined them at the hotel for lunch and for the night ahead. They found out that Kelli's Mom Mellie had just tested positive for the flu so that was a bummer. They then went to Kelli's sister Claire's practice, Audubon Facial Plastics, and had their bi-annual Botox! After that they all went to dinner at Commander's Palace, a classic in New Orleans, and had a lovely family dinner. The next morning Charles & Kath both also tested positive for the flu and they all had to drive to Baton Rouge wearing masks the whole way in the minivan.

When they arrived in Baton Rouge the flu family had to isolate and if they ever came out they wore masks as well as Anne & Kelli, because they were being extra cautious not to catch the flu because of Anne's upcoming concert and Kelli's upcoming River cruise. The following days involved many dinners, visiting family in Sunshine, Louisiana, a Packers WIN, making Mac & Cheese with Vivi and Kelli's special Green Bean Casserole, a big Thanksgiving dinner, lots of emergen-c and finally flying home with Vivi loaded up with Calvin's chicken salad for everyone! Make sure to listen to the final episode of the year where they will podcast remotely from Kelli's Christmas Markets River Cruise through Germany!

Hear about a Curacao drink separation, an Aruba awkward sunscreen moment that no one experienced but Kelli, another Trainwreck Poop Cruise conversation that went next level and Anne's very awkward moment backstage with a hot aerialist that she is still laughing about.

After several flight delays, they next headed in different directions with Anne headed home for a few days (which involved a DoorDash and Taco Bell delivery mess) and Kelli headed to Las Vegas to begin her annual Signature Travel Conference.

Join Anne & Kelli for their 255th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast

This episode is all about their recent trip to Thailand…the incredible parts, the hilarious parts and of course the travel ups and downs.

They start the show off talking about getting to Bangkok via Salt Lake City (for a one-night stop) and then on to Seoul and then finally Bangkok on their favorite airline Delta. They also talk about why being faithful to one airline is so important. They chat about the pre-trip at The Siam, a gorgeous boutique hotel in Bangkok (where they recorded 2 TikToks) and then moving on a few days later to the stunning Four Seasons where they met up with the rest of the KelliGregg Travel group and their guides Thippie and Tony.

Next, they chat about touring the Grand Palace, everyone's first Thai massage and the hilarious reactions people had, traveling to Ayutthaya Historical Park to see the ancient ruins, having dinner at NOBU on the rooftop, Anne waking up with a green gummy bear stuck in her pajamas, going to the Floating Market and drinking lots of Chang beer, learning the Kindergarten Elephant Song thanks to their tour guide Tony and wrapping up the trip with Thai dancers, drinks and lots of laughs in the Four Seasons lobby bar.

Hear all about their next part of the trip in Chiang Mai where they began by having a lunch of Khao Soi, a traditional dish in that region that is sweet potato noodles! Next, they took a trishaw tour of Chiang Mai and Anne's driver was very old and skinny so other drivers where helping push her cart along. The following day they headed to Patara Elephant Farm & Sanctuary. They had the most incredible experiences that you have to hear to believe that included feeding the elephants, brushing them, and bathing them in the rushing river. After that day they went to a Night Market where they shopped for gifts and then they went to a Cabaret Show that was filled with gorgeous drag queens with fab costumes and lots of choreography and backup dancers! Finally they had a full crafty day starting with indigo tie dying, painting traditional Thai umbrellas and ending with a cooking class where they made their own 4 course dinner.

Lastly, they talk about their final leg of the trip that ended in Phuket at their favorite hotel The Slate. Every guest traveling with them had their own pool suite which means a private backyard with a big plunge pool, and outdoor bathtub, lounge chairs, a couch and a table and chairs. It is a magical place. In Phuket they spent one day on a speed boat traveling to an island where they kayaked through caves, went swimming, visited James Bond Island where one of the movies was filmed and had more Chang beer on the beach. Another day they shopped in Old Town Phuket and took a sunset cruise on a luxury catamaran. The rest of the trip was spent relaxing at the resort and enjoying one more day at the spa. Now they are home recovering from jetlag before they head out on another Celebrity Cruise where Anne is performing!

They next do their travel hacks. This week Kelli talks about using toothpaste to treat mosquito bites and Anne talks about traveling with bathroom wipes especially in places like Thailand where they may not provide paper in the bathrooms.
