Overview

The November 4, 2025 episode of The BOB & TOM Show delivers the signature blend of comedy, news, cultural banter, and sports commentary that listeners know and love. Today’s episode is particularly memorable for its deep dive into slang terms for genitalia—both male and female—sparked by a psychological study on how women’s preferred terminology relates to their feelings about sex.

Kostaki Economopoulos joins remotely to preview his journey to Berlin for a special NFL game and a moving family reunion.
