Blood In, Blood Out

This week, the guys decided to fly without a parachute, tossing aside the outline for a lighthearted discussion of how we bludgeoned our friends with BB guns, logs, rocks, open-field tackles, and homemade zip lines. Also, they realize Craig is making his...

Hot Tub, Cold Shoulder

Dave is missing! But if you have an aerial view of Rhode Island, it won't take long to find him happily marinating in tainted chlorine. While he was "bonding with his kids" from the comforts of his new hot tub, Brad, Matt and Craig soldiered on, discussi...

Wipe Right

For years, the guys have made bathroom humor a part of the show. But they've always tried to be better. This week, they stopped trying. Once again, when they thought the tape stopped rolling, they had a side conversation about the worst parts of poop. An...

The Legend of Tom

This week, the guys go back to the skull. And it unearthed some stories they may not have been ready to handle. Weird sex, moist jousting, doggy diazepam, and -- ahem -- "questionable" roommates, it's all in the agenda. (Hint: The name of the episode has...

Frostbite Brown

Bold claim -- this is the funniest episode the guys have done in months. From Bruce Willis to Chris Rock to "Everest" to a litany of "what if?" scenarios, nothing is off the table this time around. And to top it off, Dave is now known as "Blachem." So ca...

Hot Beverages of Color

This week, the guys look back at events that probably should have come with apologies. Then, a full 48 hours before Will Smith couldn't handle Chris Rock, they also revisit one of their favorite topics -- the self-appointed joke police.

Kid Chucks

For nearly five years, the guys of NTS have claimed "nothing is off limits." And they've occasionally danced around touchy subjects in the name of humor. But this week, they may have finally crossed those lines. In fact, the conversation got so dark, tha...

A Hard Dave’s Night

The guys close out their episode takeovers with Dave... the show's classiest act. He may not be a felon, or a good husband, or even a passable mammal. But that still puts him light years ahead of the other three. So, for his episode, the guys honor his w...

Three Out of Four Ain’t Brad

It's the third week of our episode takeovers, and it's Brad's turn to control the narrative. Except that this is Needless to Say, so the other guys talk a lot more than the man of the hour. Still, they all manage to share their thoughts  on listener emai...

Matt’s Hysteria

Fans of the show's newest member, buckle up, because this week is Matt's turn to run NTS. Which means, in addition to spewing his own bile, Dave rages about dishes, Craig rages about his failing health, while Brad ragingly steals a Jeff Foxworthy joke AN...

No Craig to Stand On

After weeks of randomness, the guys turned to Craig for some focus. But considering he has trouble even spelling "outline" the guys managed to decipher a few themes during the noise. Gambling. Gullibility. Christian lies. Personalized movie names. Embroi...

I Can’t Believe It’s Nut Butter

This week, the guys conclude their trilogy of randomness with more word association, a throwback roundup topic, and some typically weird weeks in review. Translated, this means a discussion of Jehovah's Witnesses, the mafia, Dave Chappelle, and nut bu...

Straight Talk

Since Matt joined the show, listeners have told us, "Let Matt talk more!" If you're one of them, boy do we have a revealing episode for you. From the "Pam and Tommy" biopic, to Brad's grope-happy doctor, to Dave's aerated underwear, Matt has an awful lot...

Caught Wet-Handed

This week, the guys brave the snow to deliver on last week's promise by (finally) going back to the skull for some random-topic therapy. What's on deck? Movie quotes, TV letdowns, our own self-worth, and 20 minutes of Craig praising the writers of "Succe...

Tablesaws and Carseats

COVID hit the show again, so the guys decided to quarantine together in the garage. The result? Craig makes rocks fart. Brad has a fever dream. Matt generates new hate. And Dave somehow lowers his nonexistent street cred. It's a night of randomness ... a...

The Great Blumpkin

Our planned tribute to the late Bob Saget got appropriately cringe-worthy, right from the start. From sliding into Candace Cameron's DMs, to more talk about BMs, to how Brad's nose is too big to measure in CMs, this one never really had a chance to be a ...

Juan, the Vietnamese Ham Guy

Based on the title, this episode is OBVIOUSLY about Antonio Brown. And Boba Fett. And COVID. And PG-rated movies. And throwing loose change at the elderly. And Craig's job. And fantasy football. And ........ ham? Ah, nevermind. Stop trying to make sense ...

Pouring (Another) One Out: The Best of 2021

The guys close out their holidays--and the best year in show history--by looking back at their best clips from 2021. From Matt's EMT skills, to Dave's bedside manner, to Craig's ... well... entire year, it's a pretty good overview of what they do. Newcom...

Mistletwigs and Berries: An NTS Christmas (Part 2)

Part 2 of the NTS Christmas Spectacular includes a little less rage, a few more X chromosomes, and an unhealthy dose of street medicine. And this is alongside discussion of underrated holiday movies, ghetto driveway memorials, COVID overreaction, and why...

Look Who‘s Not Talking: An NTS Christmas (Part 1)

RAGE! DISCONTENT! MORE RAGE! This week, the guys kick off their annual holiday extravaganza by crapping thunder all over your season's greetings. Dave is mad at Beyonce.  Brad and Craig are mad at each other. Matt is mad at things that breathe. For those...

New Coconut. Who Dis?

This week, the guys had so much fun with their friends at the Nerd Entertainment Hub that one segment turned into an entire episode. Hell, they barely had a chance to introduce the show. But, between another brutal Craig roast, and a ton of laughs about ...

Vegan Loaf

In what has become an annual tradition, the guys gathered on the day after Thanksgiving, and were still full from the night before. (Well, not Brad... hence the show title.)  But once they shook off the tryptophan poppers, they hit full stride on one of ...

Turf & Turf: An NTS Thanksgiving

The guys celebrate their FIFTH Thanksgiving together by diving into a cornucopia of topics. Giving thanks. Edward James Olmos. Boston vs. New York. C. Thomas Howell. Moral dilemmas. And way too much time spent discussing coat hangers. Somehow, they made ...

Praisian Invasion

Of all the episodes this show has done, none reflect the show's intended vibe more than this. It was always about hanging out and talking--mics or no mics. This week, the guys honor the past by putting down the outline and letting the conversation flow. ...
