EP 244 Kelli & Anne talk all about their trip to Africa! Join Anne & Kelli for their 244th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast. They are so excited to fill everyone in on their recent trip to Africa! They began the trip with several nights in Cape Town, South Africa. They began at the fabulous 12 Apostles Hotel and stayed in the Presidential Suite (the same one that Lady Gaga stayed in) that was truly the most glamourous room they had ever stayed in. They went wine tasting in Stellenbosch with a private tour by The Wine Fairy, had lunch at the beautiful lesbian owned Sterrekopje Farm, and moved to the gorgeously modern Silo Hotel near the waterfront for 2 nights. Next, they packed up and headed off on safari. First, they flew on tiny planes to Maun, Botswana and then on to Savute Elephant Lodge by Belmond in Chobe National Park. They headed out on their first drive and immediately spotted 2 lionesses nursing their baby cubs. It was quite a way to kick off the safari. Over the next 2 days they saw lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, a leopard and on and on. There was dancing, singing by the staff and beautiful dinners around roaring fires at night all surrounded by so many friends and so many new friends that they made there. Next, they again flew to on a tiny plane (12 seats) to Eagle Island Lodge by Belmond on the Okavango Delta. This was a completely different vibe as this area is wide open wetlands and the animals and free to roam anywhere they want, including on the property. On these drives they saw so many hippos, elephants, crocodiles, baboons, giant male lions and so much more. At this property they had their own dipping pool at their luxury tented room and had some relaxing time one afternoon to enjoy it while watching impalas and zebras come to have water. They had a surprise helicopter ride over the delta and were treated to special sundown cocktails every night at different locations on the property. They then flew back to Cape Town so Kelli and the rest of their group could attend their LGBTQ Advisory Board Meetings for Belmond at the truly incredible Mount Nelson by Belmond. They call it the Pink Nellie because the entire property is pink! There were meetings, cocktail parties, paint and champagne, a surprise jeep trip for all of them to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve to a place called Veld and Sea where they learned about sustainable living and foraging food. They then had a lovely lunch, botanical cocktails and were treated to a truly inspiring performance by a group called Hot Water. When the meetings ended, they moved to another hotel Cape Grace on the waterfront. They did a half day tour and visited Table Mountain, the vibrant Bo-Kapp neighborhood and finished with shopping at The Water Shed. For the last night they moved to another hotel called Cape Cadogan, that is a gorgeous boutique hotel just off of bustling Kloof Street. It was a great place to end a VERY busy trip. Next, they start a new segment called Travel Hacks. Every episode they will each give one of their favorite travel hacks. This week Kelli talks about apple air tags and Anne talks about choosing an airline and staying loyal so you can earn valuable travel perks and upgrades.

EP 234 Kelli & Anne head to Louisiana for the Thanksgiving holiday! 12/06/2024

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.

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.

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. 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! 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!

EP 231 Kelli & Anne talk about loss and how to keep going through it all 10/18/2024

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.

EP 222 Go on the road for Anne’s concerts in Chicago & Kelli attending LGBTQ travel show Proud Experiences in LA 06/07/2024

EP 222 Go on the road for Anne’s concerts in Chicago & Kelli attending LGBTQ travel show Proud Experiences in LA Join Anne & Kelli for their 222nd NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast from their hotel room in LA where Kelli is attending Proud Experiences, an LGBTQ travel show. They are again jetlagged so buckle up! They arrived in LA from Chicago where Anne had 2 concerts at Davenport’s. She talks about how great it was to see so many old and new friends and to finally be back singing sinve she hasn’t played there since the pandemic. They also talk about some travel snafus they hit along the way like not being able to find and affordable hotel room because of a city-wide medical conference and so they had to find an Air B&B, Anne’s suitcase breaking on the flight and a bad seat companion. They did see Death Becomes Her with Megan Hilty and they loved it! They highly recommend seeing it when it moved to Broadway. Next, they talk about being home for 10 days before they went to Chicago and how good it was to spend time with their kids, Anne’s Mom and their close friends. Their daughter Vivi is home for the summer from college and doing an internship in the city so they are thrilled to have her home before her Senior Year. They hosted a big gay brunch at their apartment and had a blast. They went to a hibachi dinner with their good friends Jon and Steve to celebrate their son Jackson’s 9th birthday. Anne’s Mom Sue came over and spent the night and then Anne took her shopping and for lunch. Their son Blake and his fiancé Teresa came over for dinner and they helped stuff wedding invitations. Overall it was so lovely to be home with people they love. The last episode aired on Kelli’s birthday but it was pre-taped. On her actual birthday Anne had to have an epidural on her neck. The good news is that the procedure was fast and effective and they were headed home by 11am. What Kelli really wanted was to cook diner in their tagine that they bought when they were traveling in Morocco. Hear all about the recipe and how it worked out. If you have any tagine recipes they encourage you to send them through social media. They also talk about Kelli attending a special lunch hosted by Greg Koozer at Tiffany on Fifth Avenue. Later that night they were invited by their friend Charlie Rounds, the co-founder of RSVP Vacations and Brand G, to attend a Czech Tenors show at Carnegie Hall in celebration of new achievements for LGBTQ people in the Czech Republic. It’s hard to believe but Anne had never been to Carnegie Hall so it was a big thrill for her to finally be there. Lastly, they do their new segment called “Neat or On the Rocks”. This is where they each pick a positive (neat) and a negative (on the rocks) thing that has happened to each of them since the last episode. They did not discuss their answers until they are recording the episode so you will hear their reactions live to tape! They also ask that YOU write them with your picks for “Neat or On the Rocks” or any other ideas you may have for new topics for discussion! Don’t forget to check out all of Anne’s upcoming tour dates. You can find all of her tour dates at .

EP 221 A jet lagged Anne and Kelli fill you in on 3 weeks through Spain and France with Atlas Ocean Voyages Join Anne & Kelli for their 221st NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast where they fill you in on their crazy 3 weeks through Spain and France all while FULLY jet lagged! They literally recorded this episode 12 hours after landing. The BEST part is that it airs on Kelli’s ACTUAL Birthday!!! Please join Anne in sending all of your love to Kelli as she celebrates another year of being truly fabulous! First, they talk about the last 3 weeks that they spent with Anne performing as the Guest Entertainer on Atlas Ocean Voyages, a stunning intimate expedition yacht that is pure luxury. They traveled from Morocco, through Spain to Barcelona, and then weaved through Spain and France to end the trip in Nice, France. You will hear about incredible people they met, food tours, an engagement, games with friends, train beer, Irish Pubs in every stop, a St Tropez beach club that changed the game, and a crew and company they will never forget. But you will also hear that Anne got a terrible cold, couldn’t find gummi bears, chicken fingers OR Nyquil, no train wine, a package store that doesn’t sell pringles and feeling underdressed at Cannes Film Festival. However, the flight home really brings it all home where they were upgraded to Delta One (AMAZING AND THANK YOU DELTA) and for some reason decided to binge Baby Reindeer all the way home. (terrible idea). Finally, they do their new segment called “Neat or On the Rocks”. This is where they each pick a positive (neat) and a negative (on the rocks) thing that has happened to each of them since the last episode. They did not discuss their answers until they are recording the episode so you will hear their reactions live to tape! They also ask that YOU write them with your picks for “Neat or On the Rocks” or any other ideas you may have for new topics for discussion!

EP 220 Kelli and Anne come to you all the way from Casablanca, Morocco! Join Anne & Kelli for their 220th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast! On the Road from Casablanca, Morocco! In the fifth episode of Season 5 they start by talking about podcasting from their hotel room at The Four Seasons in Casablanca, Morocco! It’s a dry hotel so they just went to a café for a bottle of rose pre show and stopped off at the ocean front McDonald’s for a quick fry and to make a Tik Tok! Stay tuned for that! First, they update you on the past two weeks on Kelli’s River cruise trip through the Netherlands and the additional challenges that arose and how they had to pivot and adjust along the way including insane weather changes, a blown engine, Anne taking a fall, and so much more. In the end, they reflect on how much the entire experience brought the group together even better and it ended up being a wonderful time with family and old and new friends. Next, they talk about their journey to London for Anne’s concert that began with a train trip from Amsterdam to London, along with dragging their massive bags across ‘the gap’ on to the train, a lovely First Class train experience, a stay at the gorgeous new Broadwick Soho Hotel, Anne’s wildly successful show at Crazy Coqs and finally a big after party out at the London bars with good friends. Lastly, they talk about their few days in Morocco. They spent 2 days touring with a fabulous tour company called Inclusive Morocco. They had a private driver for 2 days that took them to the capitol city of Rabat for the day and to tour Casablanca the next day. They loved every second of this beautiful place. Now they will board an Atlas Ocean Voyages cruise for 3 weeks through Spain and France because Anne is headlining on the ship. So stay tuned for that! Finally, they do their new segment called “Neat or On the Rocks”.
