Otters and Daddies and Bears: An ”Oh My” Evening with the True Story …

It was Rhode Island Comic-Con weekend, and the Official True Story Bro podcast was in town to celebrate. YES, they discussed the event, but not even close to the way you'd expect. So put aside any thoughts about celebrities, comic books, and autograp...

Karma Shart

After a Halloween episode full of creative energy, the guys chose a lower-key approach this time around. But that doesn't stop them from diving deep into topics like high school "decades weeks," sexism at car dealerships, dangerous vehicles, and our ...

Not-Quite-Kiddie Pools

For any other show, this week's episode would have been over before it started. But the NTS Four were more than up for something a little left of disgusting. From toenails to hemorrhoids to group bathroom visits to ... well, you'll just have to liste...

Welcome to Barrabas

This week, the guys turned an empty outline into an episode Ric Flair would approve of (even if Christians won't). So, sit back and enjoy two hours of jet flying, limo riding, kiss stealing, dwarf pissing, career gambling, sneaker creasing, Jesus jok...

My Dad...Kenneth

How Come Me?

Not a lot of podcasts offer you two-hour discussions of chapped lips, Chinese restaurants, gross food, paper straws, the "stinky pinky," AND the best side characters in TV and movies. But then again, NTS isn't just any podcast. Light up, drink up, an...
