NTS Turns 400!

In the summer of 2017, a few friends got together after realizing their weekend conversations were worth recording. Eight years, 399 episodes, and a few new faces later, here we are. For the 400th time, the guys gathered to shed a few beams of foul-mouthed, off-color light in a world that could use a little more nonsense. Maybe those faces have changed. Maybe the format has shifted. But the intention has never been clearer. Put down your news apps and learn how to laugh again. -- #comedypodcas...

Bookshelf Socks

Three of the four guys on NTS have sons either approaching puberty, in puberty, or teaching a masterclass in puberty. So that explains the title. But this week, they also cover bad nerd conventions, Rhode Island weiners, butt sniffers, and Dave's burgeoning insurance sales career. One episode to go before 400... and there's zero indication it's even happening. -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Gold-Plated Toyota Tacoma

This week, the guys get political. Then they quickly remember why they shouldn't, and go back to making big claims about small things that happen in their lives. We'd give you more information, but chances are you've already stopped reading and have moved on to a different podcast. But if you want ANOTHER colonoscopy breakdown, here's your dream show. -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

NTS Movie Review: Nightbeast

The best episodes are the ones that stay focused. For example, before the guys dive deep into 1982's legendary "Nightbeast," they discuss women who have stayed hot, well beyond their expiration dates. Also, Brad is out again, so if you hate him, you'll enjoy this one even more! -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily #nightbeast #dohler #tubi #tubitreasures www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

The Zodiac Non-Taxpayer

This week, Matt and Dave finally get to discuss last week. Craig also has a week to cover. Brad may or may not have been conscious for this one, thanks to exhaustion, beer, and his wife's "job benefits." However, there's plenty here to digest... at least for the 90 minutes they're permitted to work each week, according to HR. -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Zero to Crabs

The guys were back together and wanted a nice, focused episode. Of course, that means a question was asked, subjects were changed, tangents were had, and 90 minutes passed before answering that initial question. Also, they open with an -- ahem -- divisive topic. Fans of classic NTS, this one's for you. -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily #gobig #polyps #crustaceans www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Bemusement Park

This week is a throwback. Brad, Dave, and Craig are in. And it's a tight 90-minute episode because Matt isn't. So, in a classic NTS move, the guys attempted to do a skull night, but never got past the weeks in review. Dave went to New Hampshire. Brad went to Texas. Craig went to church. Laughs were had... -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily #whitemountains #bermudans #lyft www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Movie Review: Malibu Express

Normally, the guys would release a movie review as a "bonus" episode of NTS. But after seeing a film with the majesty and grandeur of "Malibu Express," they reconsidered. This piece of cinematic art has all the T, a good amount of A, and zero IQ to get in the way. Buckle up... or maybe unbuckle instead. -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily #malibuexpress #80smovies #softcore #playboymodels www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Junior Say "Ow"

This week, the fearsome foursome are back, joined by old friend Corey, to discuss a variety of things. Not the least of which was UNBRIDLED CELEBRITY DEATH AND DESPAIR. (Yes, Brad wrote this. Why do you ask?) -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily #hulkhogan #ozzyosbourne #anneburrell #malcolmjamalwarner www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

It's a Mesopotamia Down There

This episode is likely about Craig's crotch. But no one will know until they listen, because without Brad this week, no one kept an outline. So, hit play and be surprised every step of the way. -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Manny Lou Retton

It's not always easy to describe episodes of this show. Sometimes it's better to let the potential episode titles tell the story, instead. So, here goes: Hot Dogs & Coconut Husks; Chardonnay Power; That Register is Expensive; I Need a Second Joke. Yeah, that's about the response we expected... -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Couch Knives & Bed Hammers

It's hot in Rhode Island. Real hot. So, on a stifling garage night, the guys naturally discuss the humidity, then their murderous ways to get through it. There were definitely more items on the agenda, but the alcohol and heat stroke have ensured none of them really remember it. -- #comedypodcast #RIcomedy #podernfamily www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com
