INTRODUCTION (00:01):
Nonsense and nostalgia with B Mo the Prince. "Some mom brought her daughter over to me at a restaurant. She was like, I don't know who you are. But my daughter said, you're the millennial guy" and Loren Raye, "a cool mom. What is that? Not me. I just record audio in the closet. And I never shower" brought to you by landline phones, tethering you to the wall since 1877.
Loren (00:26):
My parents used to make me answer the phone and go Raye residence. Loren speaking, how may I help you?
B Mo (00:33):
The best part was tangling yourself up in the cord. Yeah,
Loren (00:36):
All the time. Welcome to nonsense and nostalgia where the millennial Prince and the bad-ass chick talk about life, Liberty and the pursuit of the nineties. Oh my goodness. B Mo we are rolling along with these episodes. I'm very excited. Um, yeah, but you know who wasn't crushing it this week. I'm going to call you out. You weren't.
B Mo (00:57):
I was not.
Loren (00:59):
Dude did with your phone.
B Mo (01:01):
So I know we've all heard of an FML moment. This was that. So what had happened was, um, I'm at the new house and I'm just like you, you know, the craziness of trying to move into a new house. So I'm grabbing my stuff from the car, running into the house. And then for like two hours legit, two hours in the house, I'm like, where the hell is my phone? And I'm like pinging it from my Apple watch and I can't find it. So I was like, whatever, I'll worry about it. After finally, when I leave, I can hear it pinging in the car. So I was like, whatever it's in here, I'll figure it out. Once I get back to the apartment.
Loren (01:38):
Okay, good for you for knowing how to ping by the way at all. Cause I don't even know how to do that.
B Mo (01:44):
I found this out like a month ago. It's the coolest thing that's ever happened, but it's maybe a 10, 11 minute drive from house to apartment. I've been in the car eight minutes. I can hear the thing pinging. And as I'm pulling up to a red light, I just hear ksdjfkjdshfkdshfdskf from the roof and I went, Oh,
Loren (02:07):
Dude, how did it not fall off for eight minutes?
B Mo (02:12):
I don't know because it is a, it's a tough cookie.
Loren (02:16):
You are the best driver ever, I guess so smoothe.
B Mo (02:19):
Not at this point. Cause now I bang at U-y and I come back and I see three cars just like drive over it. And I was like, okay. Oh sweet mother of God. And so I pull into this random bank. I go in the do not enter. And I'm sprinting into this like main road.
Loren (02:37):
You know someone's driving by. And they're like, Oh my God, that's bee mother Prince from T ikTok, TikTok.
B Mo (02:44):
I'm like, no, he's just having a mild panic attack. And so I scoop up my phone from the street. And would you believe that's son of a gun? Not a, not a scratch on it. That's not a crack, not a scratch, nothing the most relieving of my life. But I say all this, I feel like the natural panic was from the past because every time I would have a phone before, if you just dropped it just from where you were standing. Oh, okay.
Loren (03:11):
So now they have like the little things that go on top of your screen or at least I have it where if you drop it, it'll crack that thing and not the screen itself. Right? Like they didn't have any of that stuff. Back then. We was the wild, wild West where like a lot of responsibility not to screw that stuff up.
B Mo (03:29):
It was insane. But there was one and everyone knows the legend of the Nokia, 33 10, the brick that could survive the apocalypse.
Loren (03:38):
Wait, which one is that? I'm Googling it.
B Mo (03:42):
It looked like a brick. It was just a brick with numbers on it. And it had like that super crappy old. It almost looked like a beeper screen on it and it was a terrible phone. But that thing I swear to God, if the world ended today, all of the Nokia 33 tens would still be here.
Loren (04:00):
Yes. Okay. I just googed it yes, by the way, in case you're curious, it gets 3.9 stars on Google review, but okay. Can we also, we need to address this during another podcast who leaves Google reviews for things like that. I see people leave Google reviews for parks and I'm like, who cares? Just go to the park and find it's a park. It's not that difficult to understand. But anyway, yeah. 3.9 stars for the Nokia 33 10, you know, the Nokia I had was, um, it was a little longer than that one and it had snake on it. I think it was called. Yes. And you could put all of the different, um, covers on them. Yeah. So I had this like velvety purple one and then I had a New Jersey devils one for a while. Oh man. Oh yeah. How old were you when you got your cell phone
B Mo (04:55):
In high school? And the only reason I got it was because I, it was because of basketball practice and basketball games and they had a payphone in the school and they redid the whole school, like did a whole construction and remove the payphone. So I was like, ma, well, how am I going to call them, telling you that you can have to come pick me up? And I need a cell phone. It's about safety ma by the way, I literally lived down the street from the school. So
Loren (05:23):
You could have logged if you really needed to. Oh my God. I love the nineties. Tech was crazy though. So did your parents have the video camera? Like I feel like every dad had a video camera and it came in that suitcase that looked like you were either going to like be part of the mob and be like, yo look at all the money we got
B Mo (05:43):
Right now. They would call a bomb squad. If you walked in with that case, we never had one, but we had a family friend that did so whenever me and, um, their daughter were the same age. So we did all the things. So we just would be like, Hey, would you mind videotaping this event? And he just would videotape all of them. And it would be this weird pan between me and her. So it would just be like a random zoom on their daughter and then pan out, like adjust and zoom in on me. It was like, the videos were
Loren (06:14):
Terrible. I love it. Oh, they were horrible. And then the struggle to watch what you just recorded was horrendous. You needed 17 different chords and it had to hook up to your TV and your VHS thing. And God forbid, you tried to put it on a VHS. Like it, it was nuts.
B Mo (06:31):
My graduation was on one where like they started to get crafty. So the camera was smaller and it gave you a smaller cassette, but you had to put the smaller cassette in a bigger cassette to be able to put it in the TV. And I was like, what the hell is this? I still have the small cassette, but guess what? I don't have a big cassette or a, a VCR to like put it in. So it's just useless now. I'll never see myself graduated.
Loren (06:54):
I know. Never [inaudible]. And the other thing that reminds me of is mini discs. Did you ever use those at all?
B Mo (07:00):
No. No. I saw them and never like, I was never hip to them.
Loren (07:04):
So when I was learning how to do radio at Penn state, they handed us instead of nowadays, it's a digital recorder obviously, but they handed us mini disc players and like taught us how to record from there. And I was like, who uses this? And it's not like I went to college in the nineties. Like I went to college in 2004. So it stayed through from the late nineties into the early two thousands. And I was like, this is dumbest stuff ever.
B Mo (07:32):
The nineties were just wild. It's crazy to think of how much technology has jumped since then. Right. Because when you, when you think back, it feels like we were in like the Mesozoic era of like earth.
Loren (07:42):
It's so true. It's insane. Think about the original iMac. I don't know if it's the original one, but they were the colored ones. Like they came in blue and pink.
B Mo (07:49):
Oh my God. Yes. They had like the see-through back. Right. Is that what you're talking about?
Loren (07:57):
Exactly. The funniest part is that they do you remember? They had like the handle at the top, so they were super cool and portable.
B Mo (08:05):
Yeah. Like, like I was just going to lug around my computer, hey guys let's go. I know. And I never realized that.
Loren (08:15):
It was so bad. And meanwhile, like here we are, you know, last summer I bought myself a new Mac book pro it weighs less than two pounds. I'm sitting here recording our podcast. I mean, it is nuts much stuff has fast forward. And since then,
B Mo (08:30):
It's so insane. And just to double back the like see-through-ness of that computer screen room, or like to see through phones and stuff too. Why was that a thing? Why did we need transparent? Like technology transparent and we thought it was so cool. Yeah. We thought it was so cool to just see like the gears of a phone. Like it's so stupid. Why, what was wrong with us?
Loren (08:52):
I don't know. When you think about it, you don't know any better. I ask myself all the time, like, what are the things that my daughter's going to be using in five years that I'm going to be like, how does this work? You know?
B Mo (09:05):
Yeah. Oh God.
Loren (09:08):
This is kind of crazy because we debuted our podcast. Um, and here we are with episode five and it's time to shout some people out. And I feel like people have been really receptive to our podcast and I'm super grateful for it.
B Mo (09:25):
Way more than I expected. I thought like a few people would be like, Oh, this is cool. And then like numbers started going. I was like, Oh, people like us, Oh my God.
Loren (09:35):
Well, I hope they keep liking us. That's I mean, that's the whole thing. I get it. Like you generate buzz in the beginning and who knows if people are interested, but I'm grateful that people are interested. So I just want to take a second. Um, we'll do our shout outs. Who, uh, who do you want me to be this week?
B Mo (09:51):
I think I would like you to be a spice girl of your choosing. Oh, pick anyone
Loren (09:59):
Always liked, um, sporty spice, because. Yeah. Because all the other ones I'd like we have to wear these short, short skirts. I was like, yo, sweat pants are super comfortable. I remember my friend, Marisa, Herbert, if you're listening, hi.
B Mo (10:16):
What's up. Marisa
Loren (10:18):
A spice girls party growing up and it was great. And I got to go and I was sporty spice and I was so happy. So. All right. Um, yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really, really, really thank Alexandra Leslie. Um, she is a reporter in Rhode Island and I think Southeastern mass. And she has been a long time listener of the TJ show. And I heard from her right after we, uh, talked about mentioning this podcast. So, um, Oh, I lost my character there, but
B Mo (10:50):
I was waiting till you finished to judge the hell. I was going to be like, I'm sorry. I thought you were British Loren, but whatever. You're not American.
Loren (10:57):
Thank you so much for always listening on amp radio and also now on nonsense and nostalgia.
B Mo (11:08):
Yeah. Who are you going to be? Ooh, yes.
Loren (11:12):
Sister Mary Clarence from sister act.
B Mo (11:15):
Oh my God. Sister. Mary Clarence was Whoopi right? Yes. Yeah. Oh my God. All right. How can I meet to double check on that?
Loren (11:22):
My husband worked with Whoopi Goldberg. Isn't that a really weird thing?
B Mo (11:26):
Yeah. Banana grams of the day, right?
Loren (11:29):
The fire extinguisher that she gave him, we should not be using it now. It's very old. We will die if there's a fire in our house.
B Mo (11:38):
All right. How can I be Whoopi my God? Um, uh, okay. Uh, okay. Well does Whoopi have a raspy voice. Why in my mind, does she have
Loren (11:47):
A deeper voice? Yeah.
B Mo (11:49):
Yeah. Okay. Well, listen. I would like to out a few of the people that contacted me about Loren Raye to say, they've missed you since way back when with Elvis Duran, and now they're thrilled for this podcast. So I just want to shout out all those people that are showing you all the love that you deserve. All right. So here sing gospel things.
Loren (12:16):
Very good. I'm very impressed. I wasn't sure how you were going to handle that. And honestly, that's really sweet that people reached out. That's, that's really kind, it's been a long journey. I think so far in radio and it's nice that people are following along still. I,
B Mo (12:28):
And to quote, one of them said they were just very excited to be able to hear your voice again.
Loren (12:32):
Oh, well, thank you. Thank you.
B Mo (12:35):
You're bringing all the listeners.
Loren (12:37):
Oh, I highly doubt that TikTok famous friend, highly doubt that. Um, so I have an issue with my husband and I'm a hundred percent convinced that he is teaching me subliminal messages through our two year old daughter.
B Mo (12:54):
Wow. Honestly, if he is masterful, that is, that's a masterful tactic.
Loren (13:00):
I know, but I don't want to admit that. But yes. And so, so I am horrible at picking things up and putting things away. I know where all of my crap is in those piles, but if I have to put those piles away, I'm lost. I can't do it. I don't know what's going on. And my husband is the opposite. And so every day he teaches our daughter, Sophie, and he's like, all right, Sophie, we're done playing this game. It's time to put it away, back in the bin. And I'm like, well, honey, what if she wants to use it later? And he's like, put it away back in the bin. And I'm like, okay, I got it.
B Mo (13:40):
He, 100% is, but also I am you. I have a thousand times been marching around our apartment, like storming about looking for like a shoe or something like something stupid and been like, where is that? Why can't I find it? And then 15, 20 minutes later, I will find it in the place it's supposed to be, because for once I put it away and then I'll be like, Oh Sarah, you won't believe where it was. And she'd be like, where it's supposed to be. And I was like, yeah, that's crazy. If I left it in the pile of clothes, then I would know. I would just know it's right there. But now that I put it back, I have no idea.
Loren (14:18):
A hundred percent. If I put my bras back away, I will never wear them. I will never find them. But if it's thrown on the floor and the pile of clothes that I wore the night before, I know where they are and that's where they're going to stay forever and ever, and ever,
B Mo (14:31):
I like to call that organized chaos. Right.
Loren (14:33):
I think so. Do you think our spouses hate us?
B Mo (14:37):
No, they can't. I feel like they're definitely not pleased with some of these habits, but probably not hate because like I forget what episode it was now. Cause we both agree with the door situation.
Loren (14:49):
He left it open and I was please close it. And then she forgot literally less than 90 seconds later that we just had that conversation. I left it open again.
B Mo (14:58):
Brutal. They married us. So legally they're trapped.
Loren (15:00):
I mean, isn't that really nuts that they were like, yeah, this is the person. Do you go through moments like that? Where you say to Sarah, like, why are you married to me?
B Mo (15:11):
There? It's funny you say that because I can't tell you how many times, like I just do w like if you see any of my tech talks, you know, like I'm doing zany stuff. And I just do that normally, like without a camera on. So today she was remote teaching and one of her students was like, um, miss, why is someone singing in your house? It was me upstairs. And I was singing Zazu, my little baby dog, little baby, baby dog. And like, so like I just do weird stuff all the time. And then when she calls me and I'll be like, listen, Sarah, no one forced you here. Like, this was like,
Loren (15:49):
You signed up for this willingly. You were able, and you were of sound mind. Okay.
B Mo (15:55):
Not my fault, you made a bad choice. Like,
Loren (15:58):
Oh my God. So I feel like you could be your own weirdo of the week, but we do love to close with those. We love to end on something odd that we saw. Did you have anything this week?
B Mo (16:08):
I did. So my weirdo of the week is my mother-in-law. She'll never listen to this. She will never listen. Um, so she came to visit and see the house for the first time, the new house or whatever. And she decides she wants to go on a little adventure and just see the area. So she like hops in the car and she just wants to drive around. So she does a little while later we get a call and she's trying to find her way back and, like mind you, she has a cell phone. The cell phone has GPS. Yep.
Loren (16:45):
I don't know how old she is, but old people don't use Google maps. They don't like it.
B Mo (16:48):
Not at all, not at all. So then Sarah's on the phone on speakerphone, looking up, turn by turn directions, like back to MapQuest days. And she essentially is her GPS and she's like turn right in three miles. Like it was literally the most ridiculous thing in the best part is she was less than a mile away at Marshall's. Like she was in the Marshall's parking lot. That's right near us. And it's like, why is this happening? And then she finally pulled onto the street and she was like, Oh, so your directions in the end were right. I should have stopped questioning you. Like, yeah, she's my weirdo of the week
Loren (17:27):
Going back, like looping it back to technology. It exists for a reason. It is helpful. Just use it, please.
B Mo (17:34):
I know like it is, we literally all have a turn by turn GPS in our pocket. Just use it. And then she came back and she, she was like, well, where is it? How do I turn it on? And I don't have data for that. And I was like, what do you mean.
Loren (17:50):
It? Yeah.
B Mo (17:51):
What is happening? This isn't 94. Like, wow.
Loren (17:55):
No. And honestly, none of us are going anywhere. We're all home. We're all using our wifi. Your data is fine. Okay. Yeah. Okay. When you leave the house for a couple minutes, this was a great episode. I adore you. I'm glad we're doing this. Uh, thank you for listening. Please rate and review us and tell your friends if you like us. Um, that would be really great
B Mo (18:15):
If you want to follow us and stuff on Al Gore's internet at Loren raye, right? L O R E N R A Y E and at B Mo the Prince B M O the Prince.
Loren (18:26):
Do you remember when Bryant Gumbel was on NBC on the today show talking about the internet with Katie Couric and one of them goes, what is internet? It's one of my favorite. I say that all the time in my head is
B Mo (18:42):
Amen to that man. Ty, the times they are changing and we still don't have a sign off. So, um, internet, that's it. That's it. Bye.
