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 making s...

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 they never left! The epi...

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 also mention bison, Pamplona, teacher bea...

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 teachers. Craig's pre-...

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.  --- #comedypodcast ...

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 one weird T...

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, just to calm the water...

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 plumbing. But C...

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 way, they cover their usual array of ...

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 this plan and saw...

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 to...

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 debating the issue, the rest of the guys...

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 most disgusting "Wou...

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 to be the person we ...

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 them. I...

The Afghan of Turin

Praise be, NTS! Lord knows the guys didn't need to do another episode of religious jokes, but that didn't stop them from getting touched by God this week. Matt had his revelation in line to buy milk. Craig continued his journey into Episcopal bliss. ...

Molasses Gonzalez

This week, Brad took the night off, leaving Matt, Craig, and Dave to fend for themselves. So, after doing three amazing segments before hitting "record" the guys managed to discuss overly observational children, High Karate, Spotify Unwrapped, Deadsp...

Buckets of Load

It was the day after Thanksgiving, so what were the guys thankful for? Family, friends, peanut butter pie, TikTok designers, colonoscopies, corn digestion, House MD, Munchausen's Syndrome, and ruining Santa Claus for children. Happy holidays, all. --...

CTRL-ALT-BUSH

This week, the guys give thanks for a lot of things -- Matt's love of Creed's poetry, Dave's college pornography, Brad's nasal entropy, and Craig's looming colonoscopy. It's a love letter to the '90s -- when Brad and Dave were in college, Matt was 10...
