    EP 277 Kelli & Anne go to Japan and fill you in on all the amazing experiences
    Oct 9 2026
    Join Anne & Kelli for their 277th episode of #ilovemywife podcast recorded from HOME!!! They start the show by wishing their good friend Greg Kiep a very happy birthday! Then they begin their journey to Japan that started with spending a few days in LA at The Edition Hotel that included a rooftop pool day, dinner with friends, brunch at Chateau Marmont (where they were told no photographs) and dinner at Ayara Thai where they reconnected with Chef Vonda. Next, they headed to the Delta One Lounge at LAX where they enjoyed a lovely breakfast and Kelli relaxed in the crazy massage chairs. They also put best sleep schedule to avoid jetleg into Chat GBT and stuck to it on the 12 hour flight to Tokyo. When they landed, immigration was super easy because they had registered on Visit Japan and got a QR code to scan through very quickly. Anne also ordered a wifi hotspot from Japan Wireless that they picked up at the airport. It only cost $120 for the entire trip and they never had to turn on their cellular the entire time. After checking into the hotel, Anne fell asleep and Kelli grabbed a quick dinner. The next day they took a city tour with several other guests that were traveling with them and they were so surprised how large, clean and organized Tokyo is. There are no trash cans because everyone manages their own trash. That night they had a fun dinner with friends. The next day was an epic day of Tokyo shopping. Anne had done lots of TikTok research about things to buy in Japan so they started the day in Ginza neighborhood to hit the Onitsuka Tiger store. These are very popular sneakers in Japan. Next, they hit Ginza Natsuno for custom made chopsticks. Then off to Don Quijote for skincare and makeup. They also did lots of Toyko exclusive clothing shopping at Puma, Lacoste and GU/Uniglo. Then they headed to Foula Massage Tokyo for a fabulous 90 min couples massage. During their time in Tokyo they also hit up 7-11 which is a major thing in Japan. You have to try the egg salad sandwiches and the sushi triangles! The next day they boarded the Azamara Pursuit, where Anne was the headline entertainer and Kelli and her company KelliGregg Travel were hosting a group of 70 on board. They found out that because a typhoon was approaching that they would be staying docked in Tokyo for 2 more days instead of sailing to the north of Japan. Anne had her first show on night 2 and it was a big success, however one couple slept through the entire show right in the front row! When the Cruise Director eventually woke them up after the show, they asked when does she start? Haha! The days were filled with interesting ports like Akita and Sakiminato (all you can eat red crab in 60 min that you have to hear to believe) and the nights were filled with LGBT mixers, Alexa in the piano bar lounge, other entertainers like Piano Manny, the onboard ship shows, the Cruise Director Darren and the Asst Cruise Director Gary. They also went to Busan, South Korea for a day where they spent the day at a Korean Day Spa called Spa Land. It was quite an experience that you also have to hear about to believe. They spent a day in Hiroshima on a private Viator tour. They saw the Peace Memorial and the Museum and it was all very heavy. They headed to a local place for Okonomiyaki pancakes and had the best time with the very interactive staff. They took the ferry to Miyjima to see the floating shrine at low tide and it was so beautiful. They next day they were in Kochi and went to Kochi Castle. To get to the top you have to walk up 160 wet stone steps (because it was always raining btw). They also took a local dance class called Yosaikoi that involved red robes and clappers called Naruko.It was so much fun! Their favorite day was in Kobe. They took the bullet train to Kyoto for the day and a private tour for 11 people. The bullet train goes somewhere around 160 mph and it doesn't even feel like you are movning! They visited Fushimi Inari Shrine (with 10,000 red tori gates), Kiyomizu Temple that literally hangs off a cliff, Gion (the Geisha District) and Nishiki Market, that is filled with incredible seafood and so much cool shopping. They also met some friends that happened to be in Kyoto at the same time for a quick sake and then headed back on the bullet train to Kobe. Then they headed to dinner at Mouriya Honten, an authentic Kobe beef restaurant. They sat at a counter (think teppanyaki style) to watch the master chefs at work. They got the filet and vegetables. It was the most unbelievable meal of their lives. The beef melts in your mouth and it is 1/3 of the price you would pay in the US. It was completely worth the experience. Anne had her second show and got a standing ovation! The next day was the last big stop and Anne decided to take a day off and stayed onboard. Kelli went to a tea farm and learned how to manufacture green tea. They went to view Mt Fuji but the cloud cover prevented them from seeing it unfortunately. The last stop was back ...

  • EP 276 Kelli & Anne talk US Open, their grandchild & sailing on Regent Seven Seas

    EP 276 Kelli & Anne talk US Open, their grandchild & sailing on Regent Seven Seas
    Sep 11 2026

    Join Anne & Kelli for their 276th episode of #ilovemywife podcast recorded from HOME!!! They start the show by talking about recording early because they are heading to LA and then Japan for 3 weeks! They also honor that the episode comes out on the 25th anniversary of Sept 11th. As New Yorkers, they both discuss what it was like to live in the city during 9/11 and how they still feel the pain of it all 25 years later. They also honor all of those lost that day and all the first responders that died in previous years from their exposure at the site.

    Next, they get into some time they had last week at home starting with the first time they got to keep their grandson Anthony on their own! Blake & Teresa had a little date night in Nyack and they loved having him! From watching cars go by on their balcony to singing The Itsy Bitsy Spider, it was a lovely few hours! They also went to fan week at The US Open and absolutely loved it. Get all the insider info about how to see your favorite tennis stars without paying big ticket prices just by getting the free fan pass. They watched Ben Shelton, Coco Gauff and so many more just by walking from venue to venue. They had the famous Honeydeuce cocktail, ate the incredible chicken nuggets from Coqodoq and drank wine at the Clos du Bois terrace. Overall, it was a perfect and affordable day!

    Next, they headed out on a Regent Seven Seas cruise on The Splendor that Anne was performing on. They first flew to Saint John, Newfoundland Canada with a 3am wakeup and at 4:30am pickup! They did a quick overnight in Saint John at The Comfort Inn Plus and had a flaming sushi dinner next door at The Rock Restaurant. The next day they headed to the ship and met another fellow entertainer, Mairead Nesbitt, a celtic violinist. Hear the funny story about Kelli's confusion about what she actually did on board. They talk about how lovely the ship is and how beautiful all the suites are. Anne was so surprised to find out that an old friend of hers from Nashville in 1995, Shawn Carter, was working on board as a Cruise Consultant. It made for such a fun reunion and a lot of laughs. The rest of the cruise involved 2 shows for Anne, Anne stretching her comfort zone with some challenges while on board, lots of fun stops in Canada & the northeast with delicious seafood and fun drinks, meeting new guests & getting time with new and old friends.

    Finally, they answer some listener questions from Adam on Instagram and do their regular segment Neat or On the Rocks. They also remind listeners that they will be taking the rest of Sept off from the podcast while they head to Japan. Make sure to check their social media for updates along the way! The next episode will air Oct 9th and will be FULL of Japan details!

    EP 275 Kelli & Anne fill you in on family time, much needed friend time, how hard it can be to age gracefully & so much more!
    Aug 28 2026
    Join Anne & Kelli for their 275th episode of #ilovemywife podcast recorded from HOME!!! They start the show by talking about revisiting the Meatpacking District in NYC where Anne had her first big photoshoot in 2010 for her first album, Strings Attached. They talk about how much the neighborhood has changed and how wonderful those memories are from that time as that is when they started dating. First, they get into some interesting time at home that involved a lot of talk about Dr's appointments & how aging is not for the weak! Anne having a gallbladder ultrasound and Kelli beginning the path of pain management care on her back that started with an SI injection and lots of struggles with insurance. They also helped their daughter get through her first major bout of jetlag after coming back from a girls' trip to Greece and laughing about how they are so used to living with jetlag that seeing her go through it was interesting. She then left to head to LA for a week so they began dogsitting Ziggy again. They also took Anne's mom out for lunch at Hudson Water Club in Haverstraw, NY. That weekend their good friends Rhonda and Rhonda came to visit and brought their dog Tinkerbell, who Ziggy instantly fell in love with! During the first day & evening they had lunch in Nyack, Kelli & Anne cooked in dinner with one of their favorite recipes chicken piccata meatballs & spaghetti with a Greek salad and they played lots of new games that included Slide & Brilliant. They next day they headed to NYC to go to The Frying Pan, a super fun restaurant/bar in Chelsea on the Hudson River, where they had lunch and cocktails and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Later that night they drove back to Nyack to try Mekong District, a really cute Vietnamese restaurant that had live music by Sour Review Band and really good food and sake. (followed by more games at home) Lastly on Sunday, they headed to Piermont (the next town over) for the Farmer's Market & brunch that included fresh banana pancakes at Otto's Full Service with live piano music. Overall, it was a super fun weekend with good friends. Next, they had Blake & Teresa over for dinner with baby Anthony who has just turned 5 months old already! He is growing fast and getting so strong and more confident. They really loved watching him play with his new toys and be more relaxed about going to each of them. Sadly, the next day Teresa's father, John Westervelt, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 59. The entire family is in shock and will miss him dearly. He was an incredible father and was such an important role model for their son Blake. Sending love to the family including his wife Marianne, their children John, Teresa, Louis, Isabella and Stephen as well as their husbands & wives & children. The next few days were spent catching up with more friends. Anne had a fun night in the city with her MD and best friend Will that started at happy hour at Dive 75 and finished with a lovely dinner at The Mermaid Inn. They also had a day of beauty with their friend/stylist Paul LaBrecque at his amazing salon and ended with homemade chicken fajitas and throwing it back with Skinnygirl Margaritas! Anne worked on her upcoming Regent cruise shows and they grilled out on their rooftop. They also spent Saturday night in the city having dinner with Laurie and Ben (a regular guest on the podcast) and their friends Mark and David at Latanzi, a classic old school Italian restaurant on 46th St, Then, they headed to Don't Tell Mama, a piano bar where Anne worked for 13 years, where they listened to live piano & incredible vocals as always! At the end of the evening Kelli had an accident leaving the parking garage and caused some pretty big damage on their recently repaired car! So it goes! They give you a rundown on what shows they watched or are watching. They are currently obsessed with Annette Benning and her recent appearances on several shows that include Lucky on Apple TV and Dutton Ranch (the spin-off of Yellowstone) on Paramount Plus. They recommend both shows and how totally badass Annette is in BOTH shows! They are also watching Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed on Apple starring Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black. They haven't finished that one yet, so stay tuned. Don't forget their merch store at https://sniffapickle.printavo.com/merch/ilmw/ for lots of options!
