Episode Thirty-Five: Jeff Cribb

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/05/16

*...formerly titled "Hometown" First things first: I really don't know what is going on with the audio on this one. Nick sat down with Jeff Cribb shortly after talking to Scott Sterling and I'm not sure what changed, but the sound just came out weird here. I did all I could to improve things, so hopefully it won't be too bad. Jeff has a lot of kick ass things to say and the time flies by with Nick and him throwing around stories and ideas without pause. It's a truly great episode that I think will

2017/04/25

*...formerly titled "Son" Sacred visitor from Hot Stuff Tattoo in Asheville, NC: John Henry Gloyne sits in the sweat lodge with Nick for a good solid hour or so and lays down some gems in the spirit of the ways of the bullshit. We had a great time having John Henry sit in at Alley Cat and bang out some killer tattoos leading up to the Rochester Tattoo Convention where we came away with a LOT of podcasting for all of you listeners. This one is the warm up, baby. Finish it off with a Shop Talk and

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/04/11

*...formerly titled "Slickhead" Thirty episodes. Movin' right along. Well, I finally jump back on here with Nick and we talk a bit more about good ol' Clifton Forge, VA. Continuing to add to the cast of characters, both of the town and the VanNess clan. Lots of great backwoods talk goin' on here. Y'all enjoy. Shop Talk returns! Aw, yeah - Nick, Andrew and Porter bring you a double-sized dose of primal palaver with this diabolical discussion of ferocious tattoos. You'll be soarin' high with the boys

Episode Twenty-Nince: Chris O'Donnell

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/04/05

*...formerly titled "Lucy" Nick hits the road in this episode! Dave from Absolute Art joins Nick and they travel to New York to sit down with the one and only Chris O'Donnell. Chris and Dave grew up together and had a LOT of catchin' up to do, so when you add Nick's bullshit to that mix you end up with two hours of podcast. This is our first time traveling for NLJBS and it shows. I wish I could have improved the sound on this one. This whole thing has taken off in a whirlwind while we try to figure

Episode Twenty-Eight: Tony Riccio

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/03/28

*...formerly titled "Gee" Tony Riccio slides over from Va Beach to hang out at Alley Cat with Nick, Andrew and Porter. Trevor pops in for a bit, too. The bullshit gets real deep real quick on this one and the laughter and stories are overwhelming enough that if you didn't read this, you wouldn't know who the hell Nick is talkin' to until over halfway through this episode. No Shop Talk this week since this one went a bit long, and all the JMU students have the shop absolutely slammed this time o'

Episode Twenty-Seven: Andrew Conner

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/03/21

*...formerly titled "Heat" Kick back and relax with some regularly scheduled storytellin' from the boys. Nick sits down with Andrew and pick up a little bit where they left off so many episodes back and then just head all over the place with this one. Porter joins in with a few gems and Trevor finally sits down with us for more than five minutes. Almost the whole crew kickin' it this time. Nothin' specific goin' on here, just a whole lotta bullshit and a heck of a lot of fun! You won't want to miss

2017/03/14

*...formerly titled "Pyramid" Here it is. You knew it was coming. What you didn't know was how bad you wanted it. Well, you're about to find out. Nick and tattoo legend Timothy Hoyer sit down for two and a half hours and discuss everything you want them to. Andrew Conner provides valuable assistance to this historical conversation. We love bringing you bullshit like this and we're stoked to release this one. It's a long, epic talk that almost killed my computer tryin' to put it together. But I

Episode Twenty-Five: Brian Bruno

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/03/07

*...formerly titled "Magic" You're just not gonna get great stories like these anywhere else! Hot damn. When you hear these guys reminisce, you know they're the best fuckin' friends and it's awesome. Nick chillin' with Brian Bruno. The master. And they kick it for quite a while and we get the honor of sittin' in on it. Enjoy the hell outta that and stick around for another installment of Shop Talk. No lies, y'all.

Episode Twenty Four: Dave Boysno

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/02/28

*...formerly titled "Snakeskin" I gotta tell y'all, this episode is long and it's strong and it's all about the stories when Dave "Boysno" heads back up to chill with Nick and Porter again. In case you've ever wondered, this is Josh (Nick's bro, not Brown) writin' these things and man, this episode I felt more like a fan than ever, just listenin' to these guys cut it up. That's why this one is so late: I kept gettin' lost in the bullshit and having to go back and actually edit the damn thing! Over

Episode Twenty-Three: Keith Harper

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/02/21

*...formerly titled "Krazy" We've got Keith Harper in the No Lies Just Bullshit studio (actually recorded at Nick's house this time, so the quality dips a bit again, but y'all don't care, right?) this week to talk more about the infamous Absolute Art in Richmond and a bunch of other topics that are guaranteed to entertain. There's even a Shop Talk on time this week. Well, sort of on time now that the episode is finally uploaded! Thanks everyone again for stickin' it out as we learn about all this

Episode Twenty-Two: Josh Swartz

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/02/16

*...formerly titled "Update" Mainly wanted to get this episode out, our second one this week, to give everyone their "Shop Talk" fix since we didn't get it attached to our regularly scheduled Bullshit this week. So here's that, and just a little bit of catching up from the brothers Swartz. Josh found out he fucked up the email when settin' up the website and comes clean with that info. Still tryin' to get the kinks worked out on that one. And Nick recaps everything that has gone down so far on your

Episode Twenty-One: Andy Sherman

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/02/14

*...formerly titled "Tomahawk" This episode takes y'all back to the forested hills of eastern Virginia and down the backroads of wild & wonderful West VA as Nick sits down with Andy Sherman, a long time friend of Alley Cat Tattoo and a great artist to boot. There's a lot of great stories in this one and some wonderful discussion of great music. I think there's plenty of bullshit to be enjoyed in this one. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a Shop Talk stuck onto this one in time because of how busy

Episode Twenty: Josh Brown

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/02/07

*...formerly titled "Hogtown" More bullshit with another heavy hitter this week as Nick sits down with Josh Brown, currently working out of his place James River Tattoo in Lynchburg, VA. The bullshit gets deep and the hot air is long and drawn out on this one, y'all. A real treat for our twentieth episode. Lots o' call backs in this one to other Richmond stories and artists as the cast of characters surrounding Nick and Alley Cat continues to fill in and entertain. So many good friends, so much

Episode Nineteen: Sara Pennington

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/01/31

*...formerly titled "Dubtown" So this episode is a bit long, a bit wild and very much all over the place. I actually considered recording an intro for this one to explain some of what's going on, but then I thought - nah! It's just bullshit! Right? So Nick is talkin' with Sara, our body piercer at Alley Cat. But she's also just an all-out kickass chick who's become a celebrity for all the awesome shit she does, workin' at the shop and because - well, have you SEEN her?! Come on! Sara's passion these

Episode Eighteen: Chris Porter Pt. 2

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/01/24

*...formerly titled "Six" Alright. If you made it through last week's adventures and introduction, there's much more in this installment! If you make it to the first hip hop song (and past Nick's bashing of one of my favorite bands, Clutch - PORTER, you should've defended them more fiercely!) then you'll enter a long and detailed discussion of rap history and MC descriptions beyond the norm. If you're into it, it's DOPE. If not, try it. If you can. I fulfill Porter's request at the end of it all and

Episode Seventeen: Chris Porter Pt. 1

Episode Sixteen: Florida

No Lies Just BS ·

2017/01/10

We debated whether or not to put this episode out. It's a weird story. Still has us shaking our own heads to this day. The last thing you'd ever catch us doin' is whining about our situation. That ain't the case. There's some interesting points in this one. And, in the end, it's all bullshit anyway and that's what we're here for. This particular summer "vacation" is one of the reasons you don't hear us lovingly recounting any memories of the father we had before the mountain man who raised us proper
