Needless to Say...

Passing the Yule Log: An NTS Christmas

It's the sixth NTS Christmas, and the guys celebrated differently this year. Craig quizzes the table on holiday traditions. Brad ruins Jeopardy (again). Matt expresses some solid hatred for BMW commercials. And according to their latest group story read, they all think Dave is a sociopath. It's a holly jolly, funky funky, messed-up holiday extravaganza for all. (Well, not the kids...)

Sh*thead Jones

This week's episode is brought to you by the letters, NTS, CDL, and the number 49. As the guys approach Christmas, they spend two hours discussing a LOT of stuff. Woke culture recasting of a holiday classic? Check. Losing and gaining friends? Check. The trials and tribulations of truck licensing? Check. Oh, they also roast the crap out of Craig for yet another birthday. Tune in - this one is worth it.

Low-Key Fruit Basket

Between Brad's bronchitis, Craig's leg, Dave's day drinking, and Matt's midnight work schedule, the guys were a little low-energy this week. But that doesn't mean they didn't get into some stuff. Which is how they got into Florida football hypocrisy, luggage-stealing nuclear disasters, the new Christmas Story sequel, and more. Even the episode title makes no sense, but that's the kind of punchy week it was. 

None-Hit Wonders

It was a long time coming. After months of waiting to discuss their favorite musical one-hit wonders, resident rockstars Kaz, Cara, and Raeann make their way back to the studio. The result? Deep dives into A-Ha, The Toadies, Grim Reaper, and ... Don Johnson? It's a loud, noisy, rock-and-roll kinda night, in all of the best possible ways.

Duke Cloudwalker: An NTS Thanksgiving

The holidays are back, and the boys are feeling extra thankful this year. Dave is thankful for Matt's weekend scheduling. Matt is thankful for empty houses. Craig is thankful his family despises him. Brad is... well... not thankful for anything at all. From the death of Black Friday to the birth of a cheap new action figure, the guys cover it all to kick off the season.

Phun City

This week, the guys welcome back an old friend for a throwback discussion of rock cover songs, children's birthday parties,  TikTok motivational videos, and violence toward lamps. Amazingly, it comes together a lot better than you'd think. (Which is code for "they say awful things most of the episode.")

Skin Mittens

This week, the guys dive deep into the skull to cover all sorts of things, but not before Matt nearly flips a three-ton skid steer mower, Brad tries to flip his hot tub for a new one, Dave flips out over his daughter's fine art, and Craig flips his uvula from hiccups. This is NTS at its purest and most puerile... which is how you want them to be.

Hold My Pocket!

After an episode that saw the NTS guys use every last drop of their creativity, you'd expect them to have a bit of a letdown the following week. Except that isn't the case. From stadium-size funerals, to foul-mouthed toddlers, to their own reboot of Scared Straight, the guys had so much to say that they didn't even get past their weeks in review.

Swalloween Ham

It's Halloween and the guys are feeling creative (for a change). This year's annual horror movie table read reveals a lot: Matt seems to hate John. Dave justifiably hates Corey. Everyone really hates Brad. And Brad seems to hate women and gravity. So, pull up a homemade glory hole and get comfortable -- it's a hell of a way to kick off the holidays.

King Richard’s Sleepaway Camp

If the question is, "Hey, can we talk about bad horror movies AND renaissance festivals?" then this episode is the answer. Between an expensive day at King Richard's Faire and an exhaustive look at the 1983 slasher, "Sleepaway Camp," the guys already had a lot on their plates. But when you throw in a deep dive into the Barney documentary, the new "Halloween," and Dave's workout routine, you have one for the record books. 

Car Wash Flaps

Is Hollywood becoming TOO inclusive? Through the lens of Scooby-Doo and secret agents, the guys discuss whether or not entertainment's woke movement has taken a few steps too many. Also, Dave gets tires, Matt gets tense, Brad gets tired, and Craig gets bent. Stop reading this already and get to it. 

Tug and Thunder

This week, Sometimes Manny makes a loud, noisy return, and drops a huge hammer about his dad's Far Eastern film choices. Along the way, the guys get into horrible habits, elaborate homeless treehouses, Marvel movie fatigue, and the failure of drug store security. Chaos rules the night, but not before we laugh... a lot. 

Three-Mile Driveway

Buckle up, kids -- this is a long one. After an unexpected week off, the guys have a LOT to discuss. School coddling, coworker cuddling, concert booking, homeless huddling... this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. This is a nearly three-hour return to form, just perfect for a commute, a hangover, or both. 

Horrific Memories

With a chill in the air and eerie darkness settling in, the guys........ managed to screw up another recording session. So, this week, they took the opportunity to reflect on some of the scary, spooky season moments from the show's history. From frightening food to heinous headlines, to some original screenplays, they've found light in the dark a lot over the years. Here are some of the best...

Maine-Lining Molasses

Craig, Dave, and Matt are back from Maine and have some stories to tell.  From anaphylactic highs to traffic lows, their annual trip north was worthy of a few hours in the studio.  If it's social commentary you're looking for, go check out a different episode. But if you want to hear about people getting lit on rum, and lit up by wasps, get comfy and tune in...

The UnMaine Event

This week, 75% of the show was vacationing in Maine... and Brad was feeling lonely. So, the one guy who can't handle the outdoors decided to recruit a few friends, spend a few hundred bucks, and make the best of it. For the newcomers, this isn't what the main show usually sounds like. But it's probably what Brad's annual Maine shows will be.

Black Box

After a much-needed week off, the guys regroup to discuss toddler thongs, toilet training, questionable chicken noises, comedian Mark Normand, movies that started our sexual awakening, and an emotional family reunion. And that all happened before Dave finished talking about his week. 

The Bermuda Hexagon

This week, set your speakers to "chaos." Dave's beloved Raeann is back on the mic, and she's joined by Bermuda native/local sex therapist, Kejon. After four weeks in review (and one life in review) the six of them dive deep into a cerebral game of "Would You Rather...?" If you didn't think you knew Dave before, tune in and get comfortable. You'll never view Lizzo the same way again. 

Weird Feeling Branches

Dave is away... again! But the remaining three guys manage to overcome such a hefty loss by discussing bad customers, worse coworkers, mysterious Hyundai repairs, and Bob Odenkirk's alleged foot fetish. Yeah, that's a lot for two hours, but once Craig finishes talking about his week, the time just flies by.  

Trunkey-Pox

It's Matt's birthday! And the guys celebrate in their usual style. Brad mocks Craig's prior drunkenness by being drunk himself. Dave channels Craig by spotting UFOs. Craig channels Craig by repeating another work story. And Matt realizes he hates being roasted. Like, a lot.
