It’s been a year since my daughter Ila joined me on the show, and I’m so excited she’s back! We dive into our thoughts on The Golden Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and The Bachelor,  what we love, what we don’t, and the moments that had us yelling at the screen. Ila also shares what college has been like so far, her journey studying interior design, and how much she’s grown since leaving home.  --------------------------------------------------- Sponsors Uncommon Goods - To get 15% off your next gift, go to https://UNCOMMONGOODS.com/LEEANN.  Shopify - Sign up for your $1 per month trial and start selling today at https://shopify.com/wife  --------------------------------------------------- Our Next book club will be “How About Now: Poems” by Kate Baer Amazon - https://amzn.to/47CgcPQ Bookshop - https://bookshop.org/a/97615/9780063306080 --------------------------------------------------- Call (818) 949-8536 to leave a voicemail with a question for LeeAnn (and sometimes Bert) that might be answered in a future episode! --------------------------------------------------- Fully Loaded at Sea 2026 Presale bertkreischercruise.com/presale Stream LUCKY on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/81713944 PERMISSION TO PARTY WORLD TOUR is on sale now: http://www.bertbertbert.com/tour --------------------------------------------------- LeeAnn Kreischer talks to friends about marriage, family, and being married to the life of the party, comedian Bert Kreischer! --------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW LEEANN: Facebook▶ https://www.facebook.com/wifeotp  Instagram▶ https://www.instagram.com/leeannkreischer  iTunes▶ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wife-of-the-party/id1343348729  Official Website & MERCH▶ https://www.wifeotp.com Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast! #wifeoftheparty⁠⁠ #podcast⁠⁠ #leeannkreischer⁠ #bertandleeann        Learn more about your ad choices.

Hosted by LeeAnn Kreischer, Wife of the Party offers a backstage pass to the chaos and comedy of a life lived in the spotlight's shadow. This isn't just a podcast about being married to a famous comedian; it's a raw, funny, and surprisingly educational look at the realities of partnership, parenting, and maintaining your own identity. Through candid conversations with a rotating roster of friends, LeeAnn delves into the unvarnished truths of marriage, the beautiful mess of family life, and the unique experience of sharing your home with a human tornado of energy like Bert Kreischer. Each episode feels like a late-night chat with your most honest friend, one who isn't afraid to laugh at the absurdities while sharing hard-won wisdom. You'll hear stories that range from hilariously relatable to uniquely surreal, all grounded in LeeAnn's genuine perspective. From Berty Boy Productions, this podcast blends comedy with heartfelt moments and practical takeaways, making it a listen for anyone navigating their own relationships or simply curious about the person who keeps the party going long after the microphone is off. It’s about finding the humor in the everyday, the lessons in the chaos, and your own voice within the noise.
