Nickles and Dimes (with Glasses Malone)
Surprise guest Glasses Malone falls through, and discuss shifting podcast formats toward limited series and more story-driven content. They critique today’s culture as manufactured, driven by false narratives and social-media follower “disconnect,” arguing microphones and screens reduce accountability and push people to perform rather than be themselves. Norm recounts arriving broke to Long Beach in 1990 via Greyhound, the shock of gang politics around Long Beach City College football, early hustling on Anaheim and Ohio, and learning neighborhood rules. They share memories of early Long Beach rap buz, honoring legacy artists like Ice-T and LL Cool J, supporting TDE’s long grind, the Power 106 era and Julio G, and a plan to build 3140 TV to better control narratives and restore hip-hop as a boutique cultural product, and asks the question...When did people become so plastic?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
