Date: September 12, 2025

Episode Overview

This Bob & Tom Extra dives into the modern NFL game experience, focusing mainly on the sticker shock of stadium concessions at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. The hosts riff on the outrageous prices, veer into a comedic analysis of oldies songs, and tackle random side topics—ranging from wild ponies in Virginia to whether nudists should be buried nude. The familiar, irreverent tone makes the episode both funny and sneakily informative, with one conversation cascading unpredictably into the next.

Tone and Takeaways

Light, fast-moving, and irreverent, this episode is classic Bob & Tom: sports and pop culture, seasoned with running jokes, musical tangents, and just-left-of-center observations. The stadium concessions segment anchors the episode, but the group’s free-association and verbal volleying creates a humorous ride touching everything from 60s music to odd world records and anatomical humor.

For fans and new listeners alike, this “Extra” is a great sampler of the show's unique chemistry, wit, and fondness for the absurdity hidden in the mundane.
