Needless to Say...

Too many of the NTS guys are dabbling in standup comedy these days. So it's always good when an actual professional stops by to remind them of how it's done. This week, international touring comic, actor, and Scorcese-favorite Doug Key sits in to do some deep and meaningful skull topics. If Doug seems familiar, that's because his first full-length comedy special "Mother of the Year" recently premi...

This week, on a very special Needless to Say, the guys rally around Craig after his startling admission of having ADHD surprises absolutely no one. Then, to make things worse, the guys keep interrupting his big reveal every time he's about to have a genuine, heartfelt moment. Also, Brad embraces "too soon," Dave realizes what he married into, and Matt really needs to read a second book.  -- #comed...

Barely a month after "getting back to normal" the guys decided they missed doing movie reviews. Especially since Dave has more than redeemed his reputation with this one. Sit back and enjoy a thorough breakdown of the cult classic "Winterbeast"... starring one actor, six extras, four puppets, and 11 years between takes.  --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #wint...

This week, Brad's on a break, so the recently appendix-free Manny makes his triumphant return to the airwaves. But with Matt's paranoia dominating the conversation, it was hard to tell. Well, at least until he fell backward into Dave's bathtub. Tune in. Turn up. Find out.  --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

By a show of hands, how many people have been waiting for one of the guys to go off and have a monster rant about minimal things? Yeah, that's we thought. Fans of Matt's unhinged rage, buckle up. This week, he goes off on more than a few items, with all the grace and discretion you've come to expect. The other guys have things to say, too. But that's not important right now. --- #comedypodcast #hu...

After months of holidays, events, and special episodes this week, the guys attempted to get back to "normal." That is until they realize they don't really know what normal is. But thanks to their guest John, they still find a way to make Craig feel bad about his childhood. Happy New Year, folks. It's year EIGHT of NTS. Here they go again... --- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor...

It's time for Needless to Say's EIGHTH Christmas episode. And that means, group stories, movie recaps, and arguably the finest edition of NTS Jeopardy yet. Each year, the Christmas episode is a love letter to our listeners, and this is the stickiest one yet. Take that as you will. Merry Christmas, everyone! -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #christmaspodcast ww...

Just days before Christmas, one man down and three others fighting the plague, the NTS guys still managed to piece together another few hours of gold. If you're into discussing DayQuil, digestion, and occasional infidelity, this is an episode well worth checking out. -- #ricomedyconnection #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #christmaspodcast www.needlesstosaypodcas...

The holidays are in full swing, and the guys are feeling festive. Brad doesn't want any more real Christmas trees, Matt doesn't want any more $20 charity tacos, Dave doesn't want his dad to be part of any more comedy routines, and Craig doesn't want the seasonal magic to end. Let's do this, already... -- #ricomedyconnection #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #chris...

Fifty percent of NTS has graced the standup stage recently (with one more on the way). It's time to take a deeper dive with the guy responsible -- internationally known comedian Brian Beaudoin. We met him at RI Comic-Con, but now everyone gets a chance to meet the man behind the laughs. Of all the times a guest has eaten a banana on air, this was easily the funniest.  -- #brianbeaudoincomedian #wi...

The guys are fully back to "normal" ... at least for one week, anyway. And that means everything you've ever enjoyed about Needless to Say is back on the table. No movie reviews. No nerds. Just them......... (God, let's hope there's another Comic-Con soon.) --  #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

You can't accuse the NTS guys of not milking a good thing. After two months' of Halloween movies, bad scripts, and on-the-scene clips, the guys finally sit back down to recap their trip to the nerd state fair -- Rhode Island Comic-Con. You've heard the audio, you've seen the pics. Consider this the final statement on the great unwashed before returning to "normal" next week.  -- #piantaveganrestau...

All good things must come to an end. But it's even better when we end strong. All weekend, we shared space with the amazing, mind-changing, stomach-filling awesomeness of Pianta Vegan Restaurant, who turned egg rolls into conversation pieces. But even better than the Buffalo Chickpea was Pianta's owner and head chef, Michelle, who closed out our weekend in grand fashion.  -- #piantaveganrestaurant...

Living in the smallest state in the union means it's pretty easy to run into local legends. Which is exactly what happened when Dave spotted RI's finest weatherman Tony Petrarca walking by the booth. But (after Matt chased him away with words) things got even better when we realized the amazing people next door were related to him. Enter... the Ghost Toad. #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcas...

For everyone who has attended a Comic-Con, you know that Sundays are always chaos. People try to cram in as much nerddom as they can handle... and occasionally stop by a booth with live microphones. Here's the evidence. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC #ComicCon  #ricomiccon www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Closing out the "fellow podcasters" section of our recap comes the Brutal Dudes -- which is almost redundant when a show is based in Philadelphia. Now, we already have our doppleganger show (in the form of the amazing Official True Story Bros). But if we had to pick another, I'm pretty sure its these beer fanatics who have so much brotherly love to share, they can't help smearing a little on ya. ...

At RICC, there's always plenty of people to talk to (and plenty more to talk about). But rarely do the guys turn on the soundboard and let someone else take over. Yet, that's exactly what happened when an -- ahem -- unique woman stopped by the booth, and absolutely put on a clinic on how to handle a mic. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Jade.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #po...

The guys (shockingly) don't have a lot of friends, but the ones they have are lifers. Take, for example, the pop culture geniuses over at Codex Prime. Craig and Brad first met these guys in 2017 (!) and they're still killing it, covering all facets of geek culture from film, video games, music, and comics to parenting, family, and beyond! (Their words, not ours.) Check this one out.  -- #comedypod...

The guys always meet amazing people at Comic-Con. But never before have they been SO upstaged. Enter Brian, a visually impaired podcaster who sees things more clearly than the guys ever could. Listen as this mic master takes over -- needless to say, he said it.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC #ComicCon  #ricomiccon www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntsp...

NTS has always been a family-first kind of show. Well, only for Craig and Matt's family, that is. So, when Matt's sister Hailee and the ever-perfect Dakota showed up, things went ... predictably.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC #ComicCon  #ricomiccon www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

In this clip, we meet the amazing Brian Beaudoin -- the guy responsible for whipping Dave and Craig into passable comedy shape. Listen as he verbally mauls everyone around our booth, with a special focus on a lazy kid wearing his soccer uniform.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC #ComicCon  #ricomiccon www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

After four long years, the guys triumphantly returned to Rhode Island Comic-Con, to lay waste to good taste. Over the course of the next several days, we'll be releasing short clips from the event, in a somewhat chronological order. At least, as chronological as our beer-soaked memories will allow.  Next up? Saturday morning, when beer met coffee, sadness met regret, and hangovers reigned supreme....

There was a week between Halloween stories and the chaos of Rhode Island Comic-Con, so the guys had a chill night in Dave's garage. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a good one. Reminiscing about past Comic-Cons, and diving into a deeper discussion about music proved to be more than enough for a two-hour test of your good taste. Next week, we'll have tales of nerd filth, but for now, enjoy the exhal...

It's Halloween. And after a month of reviewing other bad horror movies, the guys revisited the show's best tradition -- writing a few of their own. If you're looking for actual horror, you should check out the Hawk Tuah girl's podcast. But if you want cheap laughs from cheaper jokes, buckle up. (Oh, don't ask what the episode title means. No one knows.) -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcas...
