Shark Armor

No, your speakers aren't broken -- the guys sound a little fuzzy this week. No, they don't need remedial science -- they know that's a killer whale, not a shark. No, you shouldn't care about such details -- they certainly …

Elton's Johnson

This week, the guys meet in the garage, dodge a bald-faced hornet, compare nut stickiness, THEN proceed to discuss the manhood of a first lady, Elton John's shopping exposure habits, and posthumous love affairs. Also, there w...

Beer Darts, Sun-Baked Crab, and Freedom

The Fourth of July has come and gone, which means Craig's party laid waste to Rhode Island once more. Were there fireworks? Explosive dramas? Sunlight and heat on shellfish? Of course there were... alongside the usual drunken...

Deuce Connoisseur

Yeah, the guys were a little late getting this one out. But, with the Fourth of July, vacations, and other things keeping them from posting last Friday, instead, you're all in for an early-week treat. And if you're good, you'...

Talk Tuah

This week, the guys are down a man (again) but that didn't stop them from discussing the Hawk Tuah girl, internet meme people, new work trucks, and Craig's increasingly decrepit body. Also, for those who missed it last week, ...

Person Tassels

The guys are down a man, but even with Matt working (watching) a severe thunderstorm (Celtics game) the remaining guys go a little old school, discussing amazing dogs, lab partner/stripper combos, human resources, and our fav...

The Circle of Wipe

Recently, the guys got some criticism saying the show is "losing direction." They heard it's "unfocused," and "way too into discussing meaningless jobs." They even heard that they're "not nearly as interesting as [they] think." To that, the guys resp...

Food Fountain

This was a special one. In just under 80 minutes, the guys covered insect falconry, a kid's first fight, family barbecues, and teenage cultural appropriation. At least that's what Craig, Dave, and Matt told Brad, since he was too wrecked …

Hangers & Mash

Let's just cut to the chase: The episode title doesn't make sense. The AI-made episode image doesn't make sense. The continual mention of Brad's wife's (perfectly normal) hand size doesn't make sense. No, Needless to Say has NEVER been about …

Freddie Gallagher

It's been a rough few weeks around the NTS offices, so the guys took some well-deserved time off. But they're back in force, to discuss Rolling Stone's take on music, our take on religion, and generic bagged cereal. It's like …

Old Fashioned

This is a handy dandy episode -- hand over fist, one of their best. In just a few hours, the gents cover hand size, manual stimulation, more hand stuff, and then some stuff about hands and jobs. Oh sure, they …

Beyond Thunderbowl

Every now and then the guys of NTS do something completely different. Something way left of center. Something truly unique. Well, this wasn't one of those weeks. But the guys DO cover some new ground. Brad's kid is flipping off …

Just a Little Funny

Remember that time when NTS listeners said, "HEY! You guys should make an episode that covers little people and conjoined twin marriages?" Well, folks, your long wait is over. There are no other words needed to describe this one. --- …

Drivin' Whiskey

This week, the guys recorded a day later than usual, but that was so Brad and Craig could share their adventures from a trip to Boston to see comedian Chad Daniels. Naturally, they encountered overpriced drinks, loud audience members, and …

Wet Market

It's Episode 333, which means Needless to Say is halfway to hell. And after the first 20 or so minutes of this episode, you'll see why. The guys have always been equal-opportunity offenders, but this might take the prize. Then, …

Last Comic Stumbling

After an unplanned week off, the guys reconvened to catch up on the biggest headline of the week, Craig's onstage standup debut. Yeah, they covered a few other topics, like Matt smoking tires, Brad smoking plants, and Dave smoking his …

Saltines and Combos

This week, the guys are down a man, but they replaced him with a well-trained Yeti. That's right, John is back, helping to take Brad's place for a week. And both of his lines are phenomenal -- trust us. Along …

The Battle of Waterpoo

After two weeks in Ancient Rome, the guys fast-forwarded a few hundred years to talk about gross, juvenile things. For 20 minutes. Right at the beginning of the episode. Before they even had a chance to say hello. Dave turtle-headed …

Behind the Pleats

The guys are back to form this week, finishing their comprehensive discussion of the EPIC "Private Gladiator" series. But, before they get to that, they discuss sick and/or dead pets, weak pant seams, HR best practices, and Craig's ongoing journey …

Are You Not Intertwined?

This week, the guys all had stuff to discuss, but all cobblestone roads led right back to ... well ... adult cinema. It turns out Matt likes a little bit of history in his visual biology. And, after 30 minutes …

**Pam**

After a week off because the guys battled pinkeye, COVID, arthritis, and vaginitis, they reconvened to discuss topics related to the DMV, AAA, and several entities in Washington, DC. They also recap their Sevendust concert, including the merits of in...

It Better When It Stank

The guys enhance their hang this week when their buddy Dakota sits in. Even though he only says 11 words, Dakota definitely brought out the best in the guys, discussing beards, camping, white shoes, and family. Then they play the …

Backboard Shots

You know what the NTS guys don't discuss enough? Wrestling. You know what they discuss too much? Dumps. You know when the magic happens? When wrestling and dumps occupy the same headlines. On a day when Vince McMahon was revealed …

See More Jane

Recently, the NTS guys received a review from a listener who described the show as "a great hang." This episode fits that description to the letter. Some nights, these guys get hyper-focused. Other nights, they go where the conversation leads …
