|---|---|---|---|
| Dixie Cups | 18 Apr 2026 | 01:29:20 | |
Matt's off in Syracuse drinking Bud Light out of paper cups chasing that sacred men's alone time, While we relive Craig's new vows, and the TV shows that deserved better. | |||
| Wyatt Vurp | 09 Apr 2026 | 01:22:52 | |
This week, the guys recap their lawless night at a concert. Starting with a DUI ( not us ) ending with a moshpit, and somehow inspiring an Old west episode title. Tune in,rock on, and throw a few back with NTS. | |||
| Robot Holocaust: Another NTS Movie Review | 29 Jan 2026 | 01:40:40 | |
It's cold. It's snowy. It's the perfect setting for another deep dive into a Tubi Treasure. This time, 1987's legendary "Robot Holocaust" ... which features very few robots, no sign of a holocaust, and surprisingly active commuter traffic in Brooklyn. It's another classic we'll probably be discussing again at year's end... but we'll let you decide that. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #tubitreasures #robotholocaust | |||
| Post-Yell Clarity | 05 Aug 2024 | 01:46:00 | |
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. Olympic controversy, heavy metal on the world's stage, Hawk Tuah's 15th minute of fame -- it's all on the table this week. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #killerwhales #podsaboutpods #olympics #gojira | |||
| Shark Armor | 26 Jul 2024 | 01:39:58 | |
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't. This week, after a few minutes of dabbling in political discussion, Needless to Say does what it does best, avoiding reality in favor of fluids and slurs. (Come to think of it, maybe that should be the show's new name...) --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #killerwhales #podsaboutpods #eargauze | |||
| Elton's Johnson | 19 Jul 2024 | 01:58:01 | |
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 was a discussion of a recent list ranking the best TV shows ever... as expected, the guys didn't agree with most of them. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #eltonjohn #footlocker #athletesfoot #baldfacedhornet #bestTVshowsever | |||
| Beer Darts, Sun-Baked Crab, and Freedom | 12 Jul 2024 | 01:36:06 | |
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 updates and a new drinking game that could cost someone a toe. Grab a beer and listen in. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #july3 #july4 #shellfish | |||
| Deuce Connoisseur | 09 Jul 2024 | 01:49:06 | |
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'll get another edition this coming Friday. (Assuming something doesn't delay that one, too.) --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor | |||
| Talk Tuah | 28 Jun 2024 | 02:00:21 | |
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, 100% more tree-related content! -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #hawktuah #internetmemes #memegirls #trashywomen | |||
| Person Tassels | 21 Jun 2024 | 01:37:10 | |
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 favorite two-headed brides. --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #abbyandbrittany #wedding

| The Circle of Wipe | 14 Jun 2024 | 02:00:55 | |
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 responded with an episode that applies laser focus to two primary subjects -- losing control of their fluids and smelling Colin Jost's manhood. If that isn't direction... what is? --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #colinjost #scarlettjohansson #snl #snifftest | |||
| Food Fountain | 07 Jun 2024 | 01:19:26 | |
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 remember recording this thing. Who knows? It might just be the best episode they've ever done. --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #handstuff | |||
| Hangers & Mash | 31 May 2024 | 01:38:45 | |
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 sense. And, after 339 episodes, it's certainly not going to start now. So, buckle up for another 90 minutes of cancel-worthy comedy. --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #handstuff | |||
| The Passed and the Furious | 23 Jan 2026 | 01:03:44 | |
This week, the guys got together to honor Craig and Matt's grandmother, reflecting on how she influenced and inspired the family's collective sense of humor. So, tune in, raise a glass, and pay tribute to a woman who might indirectly be to thank (blame?) for this podcast. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily | |||
| Freddie Gallagher | 24 May 2024 | 02:04:55 | |
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 episode name? Well, see if you can figure it out... --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #handstuff | |||
| Old Fashioned | 10 May 2024 | 01:51:14 | |
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 beatings, and tire swings. But yeah, it's mostly hand stuff. And somehow, that's more than enough... -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #handstuff
| |||
| Beyond Thunderbowl | 03 May 2024 | 01:34:25 | |
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-party condoms are now on store shelves. Matt revels in playoff basketball. And Dave doesn't know how to play "Two Truths and a Lie." Also, jokes about genitalia! ---- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #celtics
| |||
| Just a Little Funny | 26 Apr 2024 | 01:32:25 | |
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 #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #abbyandbrittany
| |||
| Drivin' Whiskey | 19 Apr 2024 | 02:07:28 | |
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 Thai restaurant bar. (But they'll always have those cheeseburgers.) Matt and Dave? Well, Dave realized he never wants a dog, and Matt realized he's pretty good at having the sex talk with his stepson. --- #chaddaniels #bostoncomedy #wilburtheater #roadtrip #RIcomedy #darkhumor #cringecomedy #funnypodcast

| Wet Market | 12 Apr 2024 | 02:00:55 | |
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 waters, they decide to let artificial intelligence choose some skull topics, and let appropriating intelligence choose a few more. --- #ricomedy #darkcomedy #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #AI #AIcomedy
| |||
| Last Comic Stumbling | 05 Apr 2024 | 02:04:49 | |
After an unplanned week off, the guys reconvened to catch up on the biggest headline of the week, Craig's onstage standup debut. Yeah, they covered a few other topics, like Matt smoking tires, Brad smoking plants, and Dave smoking his plumbing. But Craig never let them veer too far from his amazingly bright spotlight. -- #ricomedy #standupcomedy #ricomedyconnection #ripodcast #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor
| |||
| Saltines and Combos | 22 Mar 2024 | 01:59:52 | |
This week, the guys are down a man, but they replaced him with a well-trained Yeti. That's right, John is back, helping to take Brad's place for a week. And both of his lines are phenomenal -- trust us. Along the way, they cover their usual array of nonsense about family, farts, fellow coworkers, and much more. --- #podernfamily #ripodcast #funnypodcast #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #darkhumor #treework
| |||
| The Battle of Waterpoo | 15 Mar 2024 | 01:44:14 | |
After two weeks in Ancient Rome, the guys fast-forwarded a few hundred years to talk about gross, juvenile things. For 20 minutes. Right at the beginning of the episode. Before they even had a chance to say hello. Dave turtle-headed this plan and saw it through, all the way to his end. Other things come up, for sure. But with an episode title like this, is it even worth mentioning those topics? Just listen and see for yourself. --- #podernfamily #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #napoleon #funnypodcast #RIpodcast | |||
| Behind the Pleats | 08 Mar 2024 | 01:29:37 | |
The guys are back to form this week, finishing their comprehensive discussion of the EPIC "Private Gladiator" series. But, before they get to that, they discuss sick and/or dead pets, weak pant seams, HR best practices, and Craig's ongoing journey to stand-up comedy dominance. --- #privategladiator #foreignerotica #ricomedy #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkcomedy
| |||
| There's Someone Down Here! | 16 Jan 2026 | 00:48:19 | |
If a podcast makes suggestive jokes in its episode descriptions, certain fruit-named companies make life difficult. So, given what you know about the guys, how two of them work alone in basements, and how all four of them spend their ... ahem ... alone time, you can do some pretty quick math here. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #guiltjerk | |||
| Are You Not Intertwined? | 01 Mar 2024 | 01:30:21 | |
This week, the guys all had stuff to discuss, but all cobblestone roads led right back to ... well ... adult cinema. It turns out Matt likes a little bit of history in his visual biology. And, after 30 minutes debating the issue, the rest of the guys agreed. They also talk about work protocol, rabid raccoons, and Volvo ownership. But make no mistake, this one's all about Roman smut and films with three Xs. --- #podernfamily #privategladiator #privatefilms #romanporn #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #RIpodcast
| |||
| **Pam** | 23 Feb 2024 | 01:47:01 | |
After a week off because the guys battled pinkeye, COVID, arthritis, and vaginitis, they reconvened to discuss topics related to the DMV, AAA, and several entities in Washington, DC. They also recap their Sevendust concert, including the merits of introducing children to the metal lifestyle. And yes, you'll get to hear about "Pam." --- #podernfamily #sevendust #staticx #dope #metal #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #gothchicks #funnypodcast #RIpodcast
| |||
| It Better When It Stank | 09 Feb 2024 | 01:59:17 | |
The guys enhance their hang this week when their buddy Dakota sits in. Even though he only says 11 words, Dakota definitely brought out the best in the guys, discussing beards, camping, white shoes, and family. Then they play the most disgusting "Would You Rather..." ever recorded. How bad? Let's just say we learn a lot about the guys' views on hygiene. ---- #funnypodcast #humorpodcast #comedypodcast #RIpodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #dirtybutts
| |||
| Backboard Shots | 02 Feb 2024 | 02:06:28 | |
You know what the NTS guys don't discuss enough? Wrestling. You know what they discuss too much? Dumps. You know when the magic happens? When wrestling and dumps occupy the same headlines. On a day when Vince McMahon was revealed to be the person we always knew he was, the guys got together to discuss Dave's latest bathroom extravaganza, and how it tied into one of the most disgusting headlines of the week. --- #comedypodcast #funnypodcast #humorpodcast #wwe #vincemcmahon #prowrestling #brownsideofthering #ripodcast #podernfamily

| See More Jane | 26 Jan 2024 | 01:46:13 | |
Recently, the NTS guys received a review from a listener who described the show as "a great hang." This episode fits that description to the letter. Some nights, these guys get hyper-focused. Other nights, they go where the conversation leads them. It's not easy to go from stories of winter tree work to middle-aged birthdays, to chewing cud, to Jane Seymour. But they do it so effortlessly, it's like there was no outline at all. --- #podernfamily #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #janeseymour #drquinn #medicinewoman #gmilfs

| The Afghan of Turin | 19 Jan 2024 | 01:43:36 | |
Praise be, NTS! Lord knows the guys didn't need to do another episode of religious jokes, but that didn't stop them from getting touched by God this week. Matt had his revelation in line to buy milk. Craig continued his journey into Episcopal bliss. Dave saw the light while explaining humping to a six-year-old. And Brad discussed his coworker, which turned into a stroke of genius. Set your speakers to "sacrilege" -- this show is comprised of four awful people. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #cringecomedy #podernfamily #ripodcast | |||
| Knew Years. Ray. | 12 Jan 2024 | 02:05:09 | |
They took a few weeks off, but the craptastic four are back from the holiday break to waste your mental bandwidth. This time around, we learn about Craig's new church, trashy elves on shelves, celebrity encounters, and another amazing story from the archives of the legendary Uncle Ray. It's like they never left... -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #cringecomedy #podernfamily #ripodcast

| Pouring (Yes... ANOTHER) One Out: The Best of 2023 | 29 Dec 2023 | 02:10:58 | |
Another year gone. Another spin around the sun. Another collection of our favorite segments. If you're new to the show, consider this a great starting point. If you're not, it's still a good sampler platter of what we did for the last 52 weeks. Jesus-themed chain restaurants, Dave's murder chairs, computer lab nudes, frat house planned parenthood, and much more -- this was the year that was for Needless to Say. (Spoiler: 2024 isn't gonna be any different.) --- #jesusjokes #bestof2023 #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #greatesthits #cringecomedy #darkhumor #podernfamily

| Dank Christmas | 22 Dec 2023 | 01:37:36 | |
After Craig's birthday episode -- which you'll hear soon enough -- it was time to dust off a few NTS Christmas traditions. After a recap of the surprise 50th birthday, the guys (and gal) read a second collaborative holiday story and break out the buzzers for another round of NTS Jeopardy. The secret clues for this episode? NyQuil, the Matrix, and Craig's inability to say, "What is...?" -- #comedypodcast #christmaspodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #podernfamily #darkcomedy #morningradio
| |||
| Molasses Gonzalez | 08 Dec 2023 | 01:37:10 | |
This week, Brad took the night off, leaving Matt, Craig, and Dave to fend for themselves. So, after doing three amazing segments before hitting "record" the guys managed to discuss overly observational children, High Karate, Spotify Unwrapped, Deadspin, and much more. A lot of listeners might think Brad wants this episode to suck... and they'd be right. But the guys shut that right down. -- #highkarate #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #podernfamily #spotifyunwrapped #deadspin

| The First Annual NTS Movie Awards | 07 Jan 2026 | 01:46:18 | |
Hollywood's new biggest night is here! Okay, not Hollywood, exactly. But it's definitely a huge event for those who make movies that don't bother with things like "theaters" or "audiences." On what will be an epic night for Tubi, the guys are celebrating all the year's movie reviews with a thrilling awards show. Did your favorite horrible movie make the cut? Tune in and find out. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #awardsshow #movieawards #tubi | |||
| Buckets of Load | 01 Dec 2023 | 02:22:46 | |
It was the day after Thanksgiving, so what were the guys thankful for? Family, friends, peanut butter pie, TikTok designers, colonoscopies, corn digestion, House MD, Munchausen's Syndrome, and ruining Santa Claus for children. Happy holidays, all. --- #thanksgiving2023 #christmas2023 #holidays2023 #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #housemd #podernfamily
| |||
| CTRL-ALT-BUSH | 24 Nov 2023 | 02:08:08 | |
This week, the guys give thanks for a lot of things -- Matt's love of Creed's poetry, Dave's college pornography, Brad's nasal entropy, and Craig's looming colonoscopy. It's a love letter to the '90s -- when Brad and Dave were in college, Matt was 10, and Craig was... well... 90. --- #thanksgivingpodcast #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #holidaypodcast #givethanks #creed #dialupinternet #colonoscopy #90srock
| |||
| Thighs Wide Shut | 17 Nov 2023 | 02:08:50 | |
This week, the guys were still recovering from their visit with the Official True Story Bro podcast, but that didn't stop them from the usual business. Craig finally gets to discuss Rhode Island Comic-Con, Dave comes to grips with his new identity, Matt targets one solitary customer, and Brad sits on the sidelines, sniping when appropriate. Fans of the old NTS days, this one's for you... --- #ricomiccon #ricc2023 #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #officialtruestorybro #officialtsbp #coreyfeldman

| Otters and Daddies and Bears: An ”Oh My” Evening with the True Story Bros | 10 Nov 2023 | 02:23:00 | |
It was Rhode Island Comic-Con weekend, and the Official True Story Bro podcast was in town to celebrate. YES, they discussed the event, but not even close to the way you'd expect. So put aside any thoughts about celebrities, comic books, and autographs, and make room for a loud, noisy, hysterical, and entirely one-sided dating episode you won't forget. (Especially if you know Dave.) ----- #ricc2023 #ricomiccon #ripodcasts #humorpodcast #comedypodcast #podernfamily
| |||
| Karma Shart | 03 Nov 2023 | 02:13:51 | |
After a Halloween episode full of creative energy, the guys chose a lower-key approach this time around. But that doesn't stop them from diving deep into topics like high school "decades weeks," sexism at car dealerships, dangerous vehicles, and our weekend as the internet's foremost authorities on male body parts. Oh, the meaning of the title? Ask Dave. --- #podernfamily #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #decadesweek
| |||
| Shhhhhh, My Lion: An NTS Halloween | 27 Oct 2023 | 02:04:49 | |
As autumn sets in throughout the region, only three things are certain: Leaves will turn, temperatures will drop, and the NTS guys will read their original horror comedy movie scripts on the air. In the fourth year of this growing tradition, these fictional scripts tell us very real things about Matt's ego, Brad's parking, Craig's punctuation, and Dave's cholesterol. They're also really effing funny. Grab some candy and settle in... --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #podernfamily #halloweencomedy #halloweenjokes #halloweenstories #darkhumor
| |||
| Boys in the Hood | 21 Oct 2023 | 02:13:16 | |
This week, the guys manage to spend a lot of time discussing people who have extra skin. They also spend a few minutes chopping the reputations of some local businesses and discussing why they all need to cover their ugly faces with turtlenecks. It's a positive, life-affirming two hours you won't want to retract. --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #podernfamily #menshealth #darkcomedy
| |||
| Great Mexpectations | 13 Oct 2023 | 02:15:06 | |
This week, the guys (and longtime buddy John) cover the usual array of randomness, ranging from Breaking Bad to false advertising in men's rooms to long-time careers in tree work. If you had expectations for this week's episode, throw them right in the Rio Grande. If you didn't, then you're fully prepared for another two hours of NTS. --- #darkhumor #ripodcast #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #podernfamily
| |||
| Not-Quite-Kiddie Pools | 06 Oct 2023 | 01:48:08 | |
For any other show, this week's episode would have been over before it started. But the NTS Four were more than up for something a little left of disgusting. From toenails to hemorrhoids to group bathroom visits to ... well, you'll just have to listen for the rest. But if you've ever gone to a frat party or bobbed for apples, consider this your morning-after episode. --- #podernfamily #ricomedy #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #planB
| |||
| Welcome to Barrabas | 29 Sep 2023 | 01:51:26 | |
This week, the guys turned an empty outline into an episode Ric Flair would approve of (even if Christians won't). So, sit back and enjoy two hours of jet flying, limo riding, kiss stealing, dwarf pissing, career gambling, sneaker creasing, Jesus joking, and gross sex shaming. WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! --- #cringecomedy #ricomedy #darkhumor #ripodcast #podernfamily #jesusjokes

| Open Door Dook: An NTS Christmas | 22 Dec 2025 | 01:38:20 | |
Tradition means everything around the NTS offices, especially when it comes to the holidays. So, anyone seeking surprises might be disappointed. But those who like fake Jeopardy, a few memories, and a group-led Christmas story? Yeah, you're digging in the right stocking... Merry Christmas, y'all... -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #christmasepisode #christmasspectacular | |||
| My Dad...Kenneth | 22 Sep 2023 | 02:02:32 | |
Staring down the barrel of a hurricane, Matt still found his way to Studio D, with the infamous Derrick in tow. This turned a typical Friday into an unreal night of discussing work rage, parenting, embarrassing songs, Guatemalan fried chicken, the Neville Brothers, and much, much more. Mando listening, friends... mando. --- #podernfamily #hurricane #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #ripodcast #popeyes #nevillebrothers

| Maine Don’t Hurt | 15 Sep 2023 | 01:46:17 | |
Craig, Dave, and Matt are back from their annual trip to Maine... just in time to honor the memory of Patrick Swayze. They do this by letting Brad do his week for five minutes, then diving into their unbathed weekend of drinking, fishing, drinking, axe throwing, drinking, eating, and drinking. Even if this isn't entirely accurate, the yearly Maine recap is worth its weight in Goldschlager... (Also, Swayze isn't mentioned in the episode. But it sure made for good cover art, didn't it?) --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #maine #wilderness #camping #patrickswayze #podernfamily

| How Come Me? | 01 Sep 2023 | 01:56:34 | |
Not a lot of podcasts offer you two-hour discussions of chapped lips, Chinese restaurants, gross food, paper straws, the "stinky pinky," AND the best side characters in TV and movies. But then again, NTS isn't just any podcast. Light up, drink up, and leave your brains at the door. The guys are here to lower the property value of your gray matter. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #talkradio #podernfamily #cringecomedy
