I have not finished this episode as of yet but I did get to hear a little past Bob LeMent.
I have always imagined Bob as a blonde fellow, rather short. The 6′ description threw me a bit. The blonde hair: he is very casual… he speaks so easy. He’s “Californian” in my head. Yeah, I know, Saint Louis… but still, free and easy.
Frank, you are really so good at coming up with fun things to talk about. I don’t know how you do it. You are entertaining for that reason alone, if nothing else. And of course you are quite funny too!

I only realized recently that this meetup with Bob happened! Wow, very cool! Btw–my pic with Manny & Miles was for my Gunkcast meetup episode with them (called “In The Fish 3”). Miles was “not” revealed by me for the podcast, but this other guy may just have posted a pic on his FB which didn’t quite conceal certain identities. He just didn’t tag anyone! 😉
