No Lies Just BS

*...formerly titled "Right" Wow! I barely had to edit this one since there's barely a pause to be had. Enjoy the return of tattoo industry legend Scott Sterling while Nick hangs out with him for a good hour and a half of non-stop bull shit! There's a real quick Shop Talk, too! Enjoy you motherfuckers!!

*...formerly titled "Suit" Great, great friend and bearer of a truly amazing body suit by some of the greats, Steve-O meets up with Nick in Rochester, NY where the Roc City Tattoo Convention is taking place as they record some memories. The brotherhood is apparent and some crazy stories and tattoo discussion come out on this episode. Stick around for another Shop Talk and enjoy! 

*...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 po...

*...formerly titled "Gilded" Startin' you off with a long intro from Nick and some great shit he wants y'all to hear. Then a wonderful discussion with good friend Driver. Then another Shop Talk. Straight bullshit. Love it.

*...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 pr...

*...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 ha...

*...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 si...

*...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'...

*...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 relea...

*...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...

*...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...

*...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...

*...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 tryi...

*...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 t...

*...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 characte...

*...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...

*...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 yo...

*...formerly titled "Cherry" Part One of Nick's conversation with our very own Porter. No explanation necessary. And a Shop Talk.

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 he...

*...formerly titled "Cuz" Hope everyone had some great holiday chill. If you were mellow enough that you remember the last few weeks, this one might sound a bit out of place since we talk about a few things that are 'coming up' that we actually already released.  We're pretty sure that fine bullshit aficionados like yourselves won't care about a few little discrepancies like that, though. So ignor...

*...formerly titled "Spark" Don't miss this episode! Even if you haven't heard part one (though, I highly recommend you do) you've got to hear some of the classic tales on this one. Lots of recognizable names are brought up while Nick and Dave bullshit their way through this second hour of good times and stories. This is why we do it, folks. Talkin' about good times and sharing stories about all t...

*...formerly titled "Absolute" The wonderful Dave Boysno outta Absolute Art in Richmond VA joins Nick for some great stories and good times. We hit a technical snag about three-quarters through this one, so it's gonna sound a bit like a dream sequence for about four minutes while Nick talks to our sister, Larami, and then Dave jumps back into some interrupted reminiscing - all the while sounding l...

*...formerly titled "Tradition" Scott Sterling stops by Alley Cat Tattoo all the way up from VA Beach to talk with Nick and Andrew about the current state of affairs in the tattoo industry as well as a lot of reminiscing on how things were and a lot of contrast and comparison of both. Stories are shared involving a lot of familiar names and there's a lot of bullshitting about the daily operations...

*...formerly titled "Star" Paul Somers stops by Nick's office with a surprise for us and some great storytellin' for y'all. After a little back and forth with some growin' up drinkin' tales. Meet Uncle Rudy. A love of Hank Williams is celebrated and there's talk of some great shows at Paul's restaurant and bar: The Golden Pony. Then it gets excellent when talk turns to drinkin' at the Moose with T...

*...formerly titled "Bunkhouse" This episode takes you to a tattoo convention before cell phones were around to back up the crazy shit you're gonna hear about. Then we lament the lack of halfpipe and skate session documentation of the ramp we built up in the holler with Tony. You'll feel like you're in the bunkhouse with Nick on Cripple Creek when you get immersed in the unusual shit that went dow...
