Sham Elliott

Now that it's mid-October, the guys are all-in on their horror movie reviews. Well, at least they were until they watched 1980's "Motel Hell." Now, they just hate Craig more than usual. But, if you like the idea of cannibalis...

The Ballad of Mike Tobacco

This week, the guys continue their horror movie retrospective, this time covering the 1980s classic "Killer Klowns from Outer Space." While there was doubt they could get a full review out of this one, they ended up doing the...

Nitric Acid Trip

The guys needed a week off to prepare -- Halloween season is here, which means horror movie reviews are back! This time, Brad goes first, choosing the seminal slasher classic "Slaughter High." It's a complicated tale showing ...

Luther Vangross

Ohhhh, yeahhhhhh... Before this episode even started, Matt was hitting hard and fast with his slow jams voice, setting the tone for a wide-ranging discussion about backyard rats, open flies, stray boogers, 311, Oasis, kinderg...

Club Med(ford)

In what has become an annual tradition, 3/4 of the show is back from Maine, loaded with stories to tell. (Most of them about being loaded.) From puppy guilt to cooking surface shame, to boiled socks and the universal appeal o...

More Funner

This week, as 3/4 of the show (and 91% of New England) plan their annual trip to Maine, the guys tried to cram a lot of show into two hours. That means a breakdown of fantasy sports in reality, the reality of Asian porn, mean...

Sit Down Comedy

This one's late. But the guys have been busy! And in this episode, you'll hear why. From revisiting Dave's comedy debut, Brad not knowing the difference between US and Australian breakdancing, Dead Stiff Nick, trips to New Ha...

Devoid of Dave's Void

This week, Dave's on vacation, somehow making a mountain range even whiter. So, the other guys figured it was the perfect time to discuss Dave's successful comedy debut, lazy workers, the ending of Aerosmith, primitive surgic...

Post-Yell Clarity

Another week, another conversation that starts with the best intentions, and quickly devolves into... well, what Needless to Say does best. The guys may have streamlined the beginning of the show, but its tainted soul remains...

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 don...

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 to even reme...

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...
