Bob LeMent

The Static Web Site’s first episode was on January 1, 1999, in a vain attempt to make the world hear the off-kilter and sophomoric ramblings of Miles Tidal and Bob LeMent. Now 24 years and counting they continue their weekly stream-of-consciousness dialogues. As you may have discerned from listening, we do no preparation or use any manners or decorum to provide a fully improvised piece of comedy. Enjoy.
