Bob
Hello.
Jessica Alsman
There's Tod Arnold.
Tom
I'm just. It's.
Jessica Alsman
We could all come up with. Because a buddy of mine drowned.
Tom
I know, but Tom knows somebody.
Jessica Alsman
You had a kid, somebody got electrocuted,
Tom
was struck by lightning.
Ally Breen
I. Yeah. Hit by lightning.
Tom
I don't feel like many people even know somebody who knows someone who was struck by lightning.
Megan Klingenberg
I agree.
Ace Cosby
I know someone that's struck by lightning and lived.
Tom
Oh, my gosh.
Ally Breen
He didn't live Manitoulin Island.
Megan Klingenberg
How old was he?
Ally Breen
12.
Tom
Come on, Christy Lee, you don't ask questions you don't know the answers to.
Jessica Alsman
We'll be back from. What are the name of the Hanson Hanson brothers?
Tom
Remember Homer Simpson? He goes, it was a bad lightning storm, so I picked up the biggest piece of sheet metal I could find and hid under the largest tree.
Ace Cosby
The greatest underbat Ace Cosby.
Jessica Alsman
Hey, I'm Chick. Hello, Tom. And you. And we're not supposed to take a shower during a lightning storm, right?
Bob
That's not true.
Ally Breen
It was under a canoe. Yes, it's true.
Ace Cosby
I avoid a shower because of it now.
Bob
Yeah, I know. I. My mom always said we couldn't, like, if. If the weather was changing. She's like, get your showers now.
Tom
Right.
Ace Cosby
Right away.
Ally Breen
Yeah, I mentioned it in the. I got a very long Letter from a guy explaining that that's correct.
Bob
That's real. I didn't think it was real. I thought it was my mom.
Tom
Damn.
Ally Breen
Yeah, I'll. I'll dig it up if you want.
Ace Cosby
I want the stats of who's been struck by lightning because they were in the shower during a storm, though, you know what I mean?
Megan Klingenberg
Oh, my goodness.
Ace Cosby
Who died in the shower?
Megan Klingenberg
This isn't sexy time at all.
Ace Cosby
I knew they were naked in the
Megan Klingenberg
shower and they died together having sex with someone else.
Tom
I have an electrocution fetish.
Ace Cosby
Yes, that's Good point.
Jessica Alsman
That be so hot.
Ally Breen
How about this one? A New York business owner says he's happy to be alive after being struck by lightning while sitting at his office desk.
Tom
What the hell happened?
Ally Breen
Well, he's.
Jessica Alsman
He's like. He made a really bad deal with somebody.
Tom
I know. I should have paid for the roof.
Megan Klingenberg
Should have paid his bills.
Ally Breen
You said he saw a bright flash of light from the office's light switch, heard a loud crack, and then the lights went out. It was a few minutes later he realized his left hand was blistering from getting hit by a bolt that arced through the light switch.
Drake Toll
Whoa.
Tom
Isn't it somewhat of a misnomer lightning, actually. When you're struck by lightning, you're hit by the part that comes up from the ground to meet the lightning that's coming down.
Ally Breen
You got me.
Megan Klingenberg
I don't know what.
Tom
I'll look that up.
Jessica Alsman
I don't think any of that lightning
Megan Klingenberg
homework tonight and be back.
Jessica Alsman
And the only reason people would think you were you knew is because you talk about books a lot.
Tom
I read Lightning, Lightning, Lightning by. By Charles Bolt when I was in.
Jessica Alsman
Well, why didn't you say so?
Ally Breen
Well, let's move forward here, Christy. What have you. Oh, I'm sorry.
Bob
No.
Jessica Alsman
We gotta solve love problems.
Megan Klingenberg
But Ally is not with us today because she has.
Ally Breen
So who's reading the letters, though?
Megan Klingenberg
I'm gonna read some. Jess is gonna read some. Are you okay with that? Yep.
Ally Breen
Go ahead.
Megan Klingenberg
Or do you want to do.
Ally Breen
No, no, no. I don't want to touch them.
Megan Klingenberg
Yes, you do.
Ally Breen
Probably get clap.
Megan Klingenberg
Dear Ally, Clap from letters. Dear Ally, the last. Speaking of the shower. Dear Ally, the last time I stayed at my boyfriend's house, I went to go shower in the morning. There was an open and half drunk beer in the shower. Is this at all normal, or does he have a problem?
Bob
This is 100% normal. Yeah, this is. This is beer. This is shower beer season.
Jessica Alsman
Wait a minute.
Megan Klingenberg
I have never had a Beer in the shower.
Jessica Alsman
It's in the shower. Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Tom
Here's how you know the guy doesn't have a problem.
Megan Klingenberg
It's half drunk.
Tom
Exactly.
Megan Klingenberg
Yeah.
Tom
Half full.
Bob
No. Spend all day in the yard and then get into a cool shower with a cold beer. Yeah, it's amazing.
Ally Breen
Has it been in there all night?
Megan Klingenberg
Yeah.
Ally Breen
Oh, that's fine. It's not like he got up in the morning and shot. If it's the old. If it's the Jim Morrison. Woke up this morning and I got myself a beer.
Megan Klingenberg
That's a good question because she doesn't say whether it was already there because he showered before her.
Ally Breen
That's unlikely.
Tom
Again, half full shower beer.
Jessica Alsman
Is that right?
Ally Breen
Oh yeah. This guy's not gonna get up and shower.
Tom
I'm gonn not normal to see a half full beer can in the shower, but it's not a problem.
Megan Klingenberg
Okay, well we answered that one.
Jessica Alsman
What if there's a cigarette in it?
Bob
I've never had a shower cigarette. I might try it and report back.
Jessica Alsman
Yeah, right.
Megan Klingenberg
It's hard to keep them lit.
Bob
Yeah.
Megan Klingenberg
Dear Ally, I'm dating a guy online who's great. We went on one date so far and he said he'd had to come clean, but he's actually married but separated. Should I be waiting until he is fully divorced or is this okay? All my friends have different answers to this ah, this age old problem.
Tom
Oh, I think you're fine.
Megan Klingenberg
You're fine. Guy's dating online but he's not divorced.
Ace Cosby
Yeah, I mean, cause is he really separated?
Megan Klingenberg
Thank you.
Jessica Alsman
Why?
Tom
Why can't you just take his word for it?
Ally Breen
Why can't you let this guy have some fun and shut the hell up?
Ace Cosby
He needs a permission slip from his soon to be ex wife that he can go out on the prowl the he separated from. Absolutely. Or you could swing by the children's school and make sure they're not, you know.
Tom
The answer is if you're fine with it. Who cares what anybody else thinks?
Ace Cosby
Well, they're not friends.
Megan Klingenberg
Yeah, yeah, that's. I mean, what if.
Tom
What?
Megan Klingenberg
I just hope he's not lying. I just.
Bob
I know a lot of people that this happens to where it's like there we're separated is my wife and I got into a fight last night. So now you know and now it's yeah. And then next thing you know, well, he's been with his wife for six years but they're going through a divorce and we're still dating.
Tom
Let me ask you this if you're on a date with a guy and he goes, you know, I got to be honest, I am still technically married, but I'm separated. Is he a little hotter?
Ace Cosby
No, no, no. There's too many red flags. What if his ex is crazy and then you have to start worried about.
Jessica Alsman
I think he's even hotter with the crazy act.
Megan Klingenberg
Well, also, I think the first thing I would say is, may I come to your place?
Tom
Okay.
Megan Klingenberg
Because if he's not separated. Really?
Tom
Don't you secretly want a little drama?
Megan Klingenberg
No.
Tom
You're women.
Megan Klingenberg
Oh, my God.
Tom
You crave a little bit of drama at least.
Bob
I think all of us have aged out of that demo. I don't think that we're looking for that now.
Megan Klingenberg
Well, I mean,
Tom
if I'm the one
Ace Cosby
creating the drama, that's different. But I don't want to deal with someone else's.
Megan Klingenberg
Oh, all right, fair enough.
Jessica Alsman
All I know is I'm. I'm real tired. I'm out.
Megan Klingenberg
You know, Drama for you.
Jessica Alsman
No. No drama for no more. What is it? What? Jeff say no drama from your mama. No sama.
Megan Klingenberg
Yeah, yeah, a joke about that, Jeff.
Jessica Alsman
Oscar has a whole.
Tom
He has Osama bin Laden baby drama or something like that.
Ally Breen
Oh, that's a good one.
Tom
Yeah.
Megan Klingenberg
Dear Ally, this is a good one. This is. This is a young person's, definitely. I started dating a girl and she has pictures of herself all over her apartment. Like, giant blown up pictures. Not of her, with friends or family. All her.
Jessica Alsman
I like it.
Megan Klingenberg
That's weird, right?
Jessica Alsman
Tom and I are watching your friends and neighbors with John Hamm on Apple, and there's a basketball player in there. He has a partially nude picture of him, and that's all. And I'm like, I totally get why
Tom
Tom's saying get out, but for some reason, I like this.
Jessica Alsman
You're not. Right.
Tom
I needed a. Why?
Ace Cosby
She's hot. She's definitely hot. And that's why there's pictures of herself everywhere.
Tom
You know what? A.C. there.
Megan Klingenberg
Oh, yeah.
Tom
Did it bother you?
Megan Klingenberg
I know who you're talking about. Yeah, I. I can see her doing that.
Tom
That's exact. It's not even that she's hot. It's that she's confident.
Ace Cosby
Right?
Tom
And that's hot.
Ace Cosby
Like, look, I took this great photo, right?
Tom
And I am proud of it. And I am putting it up in my own damn home.
Ally Breen
Good luck.
Megan Klingenberg
Ace.
Bob
Ace, did yours track. Was she as crazy as it appeared?
Tom
There were some red flags.
Bob
Okay.
Jessica Alsman
Yeah, that's a. I don't want anybody confident. I want they're just as crazy and sad as in the corner. That's what I want. Both of us. Right?
Tom
In my past, there was a woman in my past who had a poster in her room. It was of Marilyn Monroe, and the quote was attributed to Marilyn Monroe. And it said, I don't mind living in a man's world so long as I can be a woman in it. I thought it was the hottest,
Bob
but
Ally Breen
it wasn't a picture of herself.
Tom
No, it was Marilyn Monroe. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. There's something hot about the pictures. Really?
Bob
I don't know.
Ally Breen
Dear Ally, you're gonna be.
Tom
I think I'm in the minority, right?
Jessica Alsman
Yeah.
Ally Breen
You'll be made to feel as inadequate as you can imagine.
Tom
I know.
Ally Breen
That's real hot.
Jessica Alsman
Yeah.
Ace Cosby
If a guy did it, though, it's kind of the. I think they're doing it to be fun, funny. Like, if a guy had a bunch of pictures of himself, like, that's where.
Tom
I'm a total hypocrite. If it's a guy, I'm like, you douchebag.
Megan Klingenberg
Yeah. Dear Ally, my boyfriend's ex keeps trying to contact me to tell me about what a terrible person he is. She says she's trying to be a girl's girl and warn me. But my boyfriend says she's a psycho, a liar, and will never stop trying to ruin his life.
Ally Breen
Yeah, that's her. That's her.
Megan Klingenberg
He's always been great to me, and he said they broke up because she cheated. He said I should just block her or it'll never end.
Tom
Your thoughts, only time will tell. I guess that's tough.
Megan Klingenberg
I have some questions. Have you been dating this guy for a long time? If this is a. Is he. You know.
Tom
Yeah. What is your gut telling you?
Bob
Yeah.
Ace Cosby
You know, what if the ex reaches out just one time and says, fair warning, this crap happened? Yeah, I think that's okay. But if she keeps sending you messages, then she is the crazy one and she wants you.
Megan Klingenberg
I'm with you.
Tom
That seems fair.
Bob
Yeah, that is.
Ally Breen
I actually can't believe I'm saying this.
Ace Cosby
I think.
Ally Breen
I think I write down the day and date. You may be right about this.
Tom
Yeah, that sounds fair.
Ally Breen
Now we can move on.
Jessica Alsman
Yeah.
Megan Klingenberg
If he's love bombing this woman and this other woman's trying to warn her, I would be very cautious.
Bob
Yeah.
Ace Cosby
Oh, man.
Megan Klingenberg
Yeah. Those are my letters, Jess.
Bob
All right. My girlfriend's mom likes to be very flirty with me, and it's kind of a lose, lose situation. If I don't flirt back. I'm weird. But if I do, I'm worried that I'm setting a weird dynamic. Should I just go with it?
Tom
Oh, should he flirt back with the mom?
Bob
Yeah, but there's a. There's a level of flirt that you can do with in laws.
Jessica Alsman
Try to. Try to keep it fun.
Tom
Yeah, there is a level. Yes.
Ace Cosby
Be awkward and adorable like he. And not flirt at all back and just like accept it.
Bob
Yeah, I mean that's probably true too.
Megan Klingenberg
She's flirting.
Ally Breen
Oh, that's. That's just so gross and weird.
Jessica Alsman
Hey, but.
Ally Breen
Well, that must be some pretty tough fabric holding up those huge jugs.
Tom
Oh God.
Jessica Alsman
If you don't flirt back, she's going to get mad. I would think.
Bob
No.
Jessica Alsman
At some certain.
Megan Klingenberg
Why is she flirting with Inappropriate.
Bob
It is for sure inappropriate because she's
Jessica Alsman
jealous of her daughter.
Megan Klingenberg
Daughter getting the attention.
Jessica Alsman
The hunky man. Yeah.
Tom
This guy plays his cards right, he could get both.
Megan Klingenberg
Right?
Jessica Alsman
Yeah. You guys know that my. My aunt married my cousin's boyfriend. So it was her daughter's boyfriend and
Tom
they broke up and the mom ended up marrying him.
Jessica Alsman
Mom ended up marrying him. Yep. Wow.
Megan Klingenberg
Well.
Tom
Well, there you go.
Ally Breen
Could have been weirder. Could have been the dad.
Tom
Yeah, that be.
Ally Breen
Yeah, my father in law.
Jessica Alsman
Stop that, Tom.
Tom
Sorry, I got bad news. I. This whole time I have been gay. Also, I have worse news.
Bob
Okay.
Ally Breen
Got this safety reminder forwarded to me from the illuminating company.
Jessica Alsman
This better not be about lightning.
Ally Breen
Lightning can travel through pipes. Never take a shower or bath during a thunderstorm.
Drake Toll
Never.
Ally Breen
A safety reminder from the illuminating company.
Jessica Alsman
I'm going to say. And I might be a little off about this, I'm going to say I've done this a thousand times.
Bob
I've done it a lot too.
Jessica Alsman
Yeah.
Megan Klingenberg
So do lightning rods work? We used to have them. My grandparents had them on the farmhouse.
Ally Breen
A lightning rod will ground the lightning and take it so it doesn't catch your house on fire.
Megan Klingenberg
I don't know, but I know my grandparents always had them.
Ally Breen
I don't know if that would prevent your pipes from getting.
Megan Klingenberg
See, that's what I'm. I don't know.
Ally Breen
So this is what they're saying at the electric company.
Jessica Alsman
All right, just think about this. You take a shower during a lightning storm, you get hit by lightning and you become a concert pianist.
Tom
Yes. What about those people?
Jessica Alsman
What about those.
Megan Klingenberg
What about you burn up in your show.
Tom
All of a sudden you're John Travolta in Phenomenon.
Ace Cosby
Yes.
Jessica Alsman
And I've got a super brain just because of this nodule on my brain.
Megan Klingenberg
You take that chance, honey.
Bob
Do you guys want to hear one more letter?
Jessica Alsman
Yep.
Bob
I've been married for four months. Things are good, but they could be better. I want a bedroom divorce. And I don't know how to bring this up to my wife without hurting her feelings. I love her.
Jessica Alsman
What?
Bob
I just don't want to.
Megan Klingenberg
I just don't want to sleep with her.
Bob
Yeah, I just don't sleep well with someone else in the same bed, same room.
Tom
Why are you just now?
Megan Klingenberg
Right.
Bob
But also four months. Give it a minute.
Ace Cosby
Surely they slept together before.
Bob
You're right.
Ace Cosby
Like, why didn't you just talk about it before?
Jessica Alsman
Go ahead and get divorced and if that's what you should do.
Ally Breen
Josh, didn't you say that if you ever build a house and you're married, you'll have two separate bedrooms?
Tom
Yeah.
Ally Breen
That's the way you sleep. Better.
Tom
Yes. I think everybody sleeps better that way. Separate bedrooms, separate bathrooms.
Bob
Yeah, I disagree.
Ace Cosby
We sleep in separate bedrooms.
Tom
Studies have shown. And this is absolutely true, less divorces in households with separate bedrooms and separate bedrooms.
Bob
You're getting sleep chick.
Tom
Your issues with her.
Jessica Alsman
You know what? You're right.
Tom
They were not bedroom related.
Jessica Alsman
I. I avoided the Christmas rush. I hated her early. Yeah, well, but you have two bedrooms, so if you're a wife's mom wants
Ally Breen
to spend the night.
Tom
There you go.
Jessica Alsman
There you go. You can go in and snore with her.
Megan Klingenberg
We just had a really big bed, so, yeah, sure.
Jessica Alsman
We just have the Love Master 9000.
Tom
So what does this guy do? How does he bring it up? Can he. Ladies.
Ace Cosby
He just starts sleeping on the couch himself.
Megan Klingenberg
No, he needs to talk to her about it. Just open communication.
Ace Cosby
Like, hey, you fidget a lot and I need to go to sleep.
Jessica Alsman
Wouldn't it be great if open communication existed in a marriage?
Megan Klingenberg
That would be really great.
Ally Breen
I got an idea for him, but. And I don't know if anyone makes these.
Jessica Alsman
Here we go. You always have the best ideas ready.
Ally Breen
Hear me out on this.
Tom
All right?
Ally Breen
The word keen may come to mind.
Christopher
Keen.
Ally Breen
Okay, Lard, What's a large bed called? Is that a king?
Christopher
King.
Bob
California.
Jessica Alsman
California king.
Ally Breen
California. California king. Bunk beds.
Tom
Oh, bunk beds for a married couple.
Ace Cosby
It wouldn't help with snoring, though.
Jessica Alsman
I can't believe I'm. That's a great idea. So. And of course I want to sleep on the top. I was going to say I wanted
Ally Breen
a ladder on top.
Megan Klingenberg
I've got a fence being on the top bunk.
Ally Breen
Keep a jar up there to pee. In at night.
Jessica Alsman
You kicked it up a notch, but all right. Okay.
Bob
What?
Tom
Is the ladder broken?
Ally Breen
Can you imagine if someone had giant king size bunk beds?
Jessica Alsman
That exists? It has to.
Ally Breen
Yeah, that has to be.
Megan Klingenberg
They have double size.
Ally Breen
Some cottage, some oceanside cottage where they come. A whole bunch of people have to sleep.
Tom
And California kings aren't a king bed is wider than a California king.
Megan Klingenberg
California kings are longer.
Tom
So I'd still just go king.
Ally Breen
Okay, that would be so much fun.
Jessica Alsman
I want it to be accurate, so I'll just go king.
Tom
You know what? You and I, bedroom divorce.
Jessica Alsman
I just snored that one time and I woke right up.
Ally Breen
Hey, Slurpee, you're out. Okay.
Jessica Alsman
You told him my nickname.
Christopher
That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes, Google play and stitcher for Bob and Tom. Extra. This is Christopher. Take care, everybody.
