## Resource

You asked, you waited, and he’s finally here — our most requested guest: Bob. Yes, that Bob. The man behind the now-iconic line, “Bob, get the wig!” and the brave soul who married Walnut Grove’s most notorious troublemaker, Nellie Oleson — known to the world, of course, as our Prairie Bitch, Alison. In this heartfelt (and very funny) episode, Bob shares the sweet and surprisingly down-to-earth story of how he and Alison met and fell in love. Spoiler: real life involves far fewer tantrums and significantly fewer ringlets. We also talk about Bob’s meaningful work with the AIDS Project Los Angeles helpline during the height of the AIDS crisis — a moving chapter that shaped his life and reflects the compassion at the core of their partnership. And yes, we get into the moment his family and friends found out he was marrying the woman who once terrorized Laura Ingalls on national television. The reactions? Let’s just say there may have been some pearl-clutching. It’s an episode full of humor, heart, and the reminder that behind every great Prairie “villain” is a very patient, very lovely husband. And Bob — thanks for getting the wig. Then join us on Patreon, where Pamela, Alison, and Dean share stories about their significant others and how they support us as crazy artists. It's fun, funny, very personal, and heartfelt. Links and Resources: Haven’t signed up for Patreon yet?
