NO SMALL TALK Podcast | BAGEL - From Bombing Freeways to Beating the Odds
Fort Worth Graffiti Stories. Straight From the Source.
We’re back with another real one — and this episode cuts deep into the roots of the city.
Bagel isn’t just a name. He’s a Fort Worth graffiti veteran, a voice for the streets, and someone whose work painted the city before the art scene ever caught up.
This episode is about more than just letters on concrete — it’s about risk, history, beef, growth, and getting it how you live.
We talked about:
The early days of Fort Worth graffiti and how the city slept on it
The legendary slaughterhouse and early freeway runs
The reality of racking paint and evading cops
When graffiti turned into gang surveillance — and what that felt like
The evolution of can control and style
His thoughts on the future: VR graffiti, drones, and whether it’s all worth it
This is a raw conversation with someone who’s seen it all and stayed real through it. No sugarcoating. No posing. Just the kind of insight you only get from someone who lived it.
