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, …

Clamtain

What happens when Dave takes a week off? Chaos, that's what. This happened, via discussions of comedian Joe List, QAnon customers, upright farting vs. seated farting, Lizzo's bananas, Marvel movies, and other things that are bothering them. Dave can'...

Slow From the Afterglow

The guys are still recovering from their week-long, 300th episode hangover, so they were understandably a little low-key. But that didn't stop them from hitting the skull to cover all the usual suspects -- work, love, life, laughter, tree truck …

Chore Boy

Too Further

The NTS guys are overdue for a normal episode. Unfortunately, this isn't it. A week after being violated by cheap furniture, the guys reconvene to discuss an all-new listener question -- this time about tipping for takeout. Also, they get …

Standing Room Only

This week, the guys had an unexpected fire lit under them. But instead of sitting and taking a pounding, they pushed back, leaned into the pressure, and ultimately stood together in the end. They discussed the unexpected rise of Matt …

Poddin’ Dirty

On the back of cold medicine bottles is a warning -- "Do not take if you consume three or more alcoholic beverages per day." Brad didn't listen. So, on a night when Dave was already missing, Brad mixed his IPA …

Handmandled

The Revelant

This week, Needless to Say flies without a net. The episode title is a non-word. The cover art is nonsensical. The outline is nonexistent. And none of it matters because Craig, Dave, and Matt still manage to cover a wide …

Hey Dude, You’re Wet

The NTS guys haven't put out a true "greatest hits" episode, but this week might just qualify. A few new events from their lives sparked some hilarious recaps of past embarrassing moments. Pants caught on fences. Shorts pulled to ankles. …

Welcome to Rectum

Don't go looking for meaning in this week's title -- it doesn't exist. (Just like this week's outline.) Instead, the guys decided to wing it, diving into topics like taco etiquette, senior surprise parties, trash movies, and doing favors for …
