Needless to Say...

Trivial Pursuits

This week, the guys are feeling playful, working a pair of trivia games into their discussion of this weird NFL season, weirder porn, Florida home learning, and Captain America's manhood. (If that description didn't draw you in, nothing will...)

Bound and Gagging

This week, the guys have a few announcements, then proceed to discuss some of the weirdest things happening internationally. Children strapped to kites, transparent public bathrooms, toilet snakes, and more. Distance didn't keep the guys from gagging a little... let's see if you have the same reaction.
 

Our Darkest Roasts

After a trying (and revealing) week in the world of NTS, the guys decided to look back at actual friendship... and the best ways they know how to show it -- their birthday roasts.
 

Undependent Thought with Ray Harrington and Chuck Staton

This week, the guys are joined by comedians Ray Harrington and Chuck Staton to discuss their new television project "Undependent" as well as their forays in stand-up comedy, "Conan," documentaries, and all things filmmaking. It's a hilarious night that started as a roast before we even began recording, and it never really let up from there.

Yeah...That Hurt

This week, the guys channel Huey Lewis and go back in time to re-do some early episode topics that didn't quite work out. So, if you're nostalgic for the glory days of 2017, when we discussed childhood, bad parenting and inane things that piss us off, this is the episode for you.
If that doesn't appeal to you, also know we spend 25 minutes discussing poop. Because we haven't really grown all that much...

Jesus ...Take a Knee

This week, the guys do an extensive taste test of Brach's Turkey Dinner Candy Corn, vomit a little, then dive back into the skull for discussions of good sex music, living in movies, David Blaine, and the good lord's QB rating.
What's sadder is that all of these discussions would have happened anyway, even if they weren't recording.

Inappropriation

The guys started out this episode a little sad, thinking about how their comedy heroes are all perverts. This led to a bigger discussion of Hollywood, cat mules, samurai rent disputes, pube beer, and a kid who just might change the legal system forever.
Love us. Hate us. You'll never forget us.
 

Schlong Arm of the Law

The guys managed to avoid the virus spike this week. And it's a good thing, because otherwise they wouldn't have been able to discuss Chinese seeds, forearm genitals, foul lady odors or 3D-printed chicken.
Don't distance yourself -- this is one for the ages.
 

Are You Not Entertained?

This week, the guys dive into the world of entertainment, and its place in a world that doesn't allow for much entertainment anymore. Even better, they're joined by their good friend Joey B, who shed some light on Taylor Swift, Jimmy Buffett, country music, and how COVID-19 affects today's vacations.
 
Finally, Craig sets a new land-speed record for getting a word wrong. Don't miss out!

Counterpoint Break

This week, the guys decided to drop the show structure and riff on the week's events. Naturally, that led to deep, insightful discussion of Johnny Depp's bed droppings, Kenyan marriage traditions, sanitized swimming pools, pervy teachers, and the merits of surfing on Long Island.
 
Two of the guys also broke one of the unspoken rules of this show, and Brad took it like a champ. (Just wait until next week...)

Tandem Psycle

The guys were gonna take a week off... then they got invited to Psycle's awesome "Kill the Machine" record release party and all plans changed. As expected, what started as a traditional NTS episode quickly turned into the best kind of chaos imaginable.
If you all wonder why we like the Psycle family so much, here's another two hours that will show you why. (Also, we make 136 new old guy jokes, in case you enjoy them...)
*BIG thanks to Seth, Kaz, Jay, Joe, Cara, Nina, Hayley and everyone else who welcomed us to the party.

Scorn on the Fourth of July

Anti-maskers. Anti-sparklers. Anti-Cagers. On a weekend full of bright explosions, the guys get lit up discussing the finest in summer blockbusters, what movies qualify as "patriotic," and even the logic of people fighting against covering their filthy faces.
Also, Brad gets a new gig, Craig gets closer to a pool, and Dave gets his degree revoked for inventing an idiotic word. So, fire up a roman candle, crack a beer, and get comfortable, kids...

To Cancel a Mockingbird

Cancel culture is back in full force, and Craig, Dave and Brad aren't having it! Well, at least for those that don't deserve it. With the help of Cousin Matt, the guys get into a hilarious (and surprisingly insightful) 2+ hour discussion of the people that need to be gone for their actions, along with a few that don't warrant the hypersensitive nonsense.
We may not always agree with the world. We may not always agree with each other. But we'll always agree with our right to disagree. Maybe the world needs a little lesson from Needless to Say. And here it is...

Puma Punkass

After a week Craig really wants to forget, the guys decided the best way to respond was by going back to the skull for some random topics. This naturally led to a discussion of everything from cancel culture to race relations to time travel. Yes, seriously.
Also, 2/3 of the show got stupid drunk while discussing smart things. See if you can figure out which two it is...

Tekashi Deuce

This week, the guys added an extension to the garage to welcome back Sometimes Manny. And naturally, the conversation turned to toilet burglars, badly faked deaths, dining on grandmothers, rapper girls with 4-foot implants, and the greatest Florida Man headline of all time.
Also, NTS developed their first-ever GoFundMe to help a fine gentleman from Lagos, Nigeria. Give what you can - every little bit helps.

Garage Nights (Revisited)

Reunited, and it feels so good! The guys recorded in person for the first time since winter, and it took them about 30 seconds to realize what a difference it makes. From Drew Brees and Hulk Hogan to Australian rugby and Belgian pizza, the guys covered it all like they never quarantined in the first place.
No more audio problems. No more weird delays. No more nonsense. This is NTS as it should be.

An NTS Review: Psycle - "Kill the Machine"

This week, the guys offer a very special review episode, giving fans a detailed look into their thoughts on Psycle's all-new beast, "Kill the Machine" ...
You could read a few half-hearted paragraphs, or you can spend more than an hour diving deep into one of 2020's best rock releases yet. These guys are our brothers -- this is just another reason why.

Slum Good News

The remote shows are winding down, but the guys keep going strong. Not only did they fix last week's audio problems, but they also found a few more headlines that show things are getting back to "NTS normal."
Krasinski capitalism. Korean sex dolls at soccer games. Homeless corpse love. Pornhub lawsuits. If these are the things that get you out of bed each day, then buckle up. We have a show for you...

Remoter

This week, Craig and Dave welcome long-time listener, first-time caller Brad to discuss some funny headlines that indicate things might be getting back to normal.
Yeah, audio problems kicked them in the ass again. But if you were sick of hearing two straight weeks of self-indulgence, this is the episode for you.

B-Side Ourselves

This week, the guys pick up where they left off last time, finishing the mess that Brad created. This includes things like casting their own reality shows and asking some deep and personal questions about one another... Hell, they even sound kind of nice for a few minutes...
Don't worry, it doesn't last long. Before you know it, they're back to mocking headlines and hating each other's faces.
