Episode Transcription

INTRODUCTION (00:00):

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 Donna Martins graduation party this Saturday from noon to four.

 

B Mo (00:25):

Well I have No idea what you're talking about, producer Nick.

 

Loren (00:27):

For real? Did you watch 90210?

 

B Mo (00:34):

Um, my sister did

 

Loren (00:35):

Donna Martin, Donna Martin graduates. And then, okay. Anyway, moving on. If you know, you know,

 

B Mo (00:42):

Anyway, welcome to nonsense and nostalgia where the millennial Prince and the bad-ass chick talk about life, Liberty and the pursuit of the nineties. Loren. Guess what? I'm on cameo now.

 

Loren (00:56):

Are you really, you know, it's funny. I was going to ask you like to do a cameo for a friend before you were on cameo. Do I have to use cameo if I want to?

 

B Mo (01:03):

Well, now they got to pay now they got to pay. I'm a hot ticket.

 

Loren (01:07):

So is this weird for you? Like, how does this, how does this come about?

 

B Mo (01:12):

Let's go back in time. So Sara's 30th birthday. I like when cameo was brand new and it wasn't really that big of a thing. I discovered it somehow. And for her birthday, because she has a ton of friends that live in a ton of different places. I got a bunch of people to record videos, to wish her a happy, dirty 30 and stuff for the people who couldn't make it. And right in the middle from cameo, I smashed a Lance bass. So that's awesome. But like, it's her friend who lives in New York, her friend that lives in LA, her friend that lives in Israel, then Lance bass. And I had him be like, Oh Sarah, I'm so sorry. I couldn't make the party, but I want to wish you the happiest dirty 30. And she just turned and was like, what? Just, how, what? So she had no idea how I pulled that off. Cause cameo wasn't really that big of a deal. And she didn't find out until the other day when I found out that I was going to be doing cameo until they reached out to me, she had no idea. And then I was like, Sarah, you know what Kamia was? Right. She was like, no. And I was like, all right, well, I'm going to ruin that Lance bass thing for you today.

 

Loren (02:22):

Oh my God. That's amazing. So I have so many questions about cameo. Like, do they set rates for you? Do you set your own rates? Like, how does this happen? What, what goes on?

 

B Mo (02:34):

It's pretty wild. Like, I didn't know how to get on it. And they just sent me an email one day saying that like people had like referred me or requested me or whatever. And I was like, cool beans, cool beans grow up

 

Loren (02:46):

90s. That is so cool.

 

B Mo (02:48):

But, they, they let you set your own rates, but they kind of like tell you, like, don't make it too crazy to start off because Whatever. So like you set your own and they, like, they obviously get a little piece of it and you get the rest of it. And there's also like a chat feature, which I didn't know. So like, if someone wants to directly like message you and just like chat with you that way, then they can pay for every every message they send is like a couple of bucks or something. So they can like message you and you can make money that way too, which is like bananagrams.

 

Loren (03:20):

Does that feel weird? That feels weird to me.

 

B Mo (03:23):

Feels weird to me because in my mind I'm like, who the hell wants a message from me? Wishing them a happy birthday. Like,

 

Loren (03:32):

No. So here's the thing like that. I get the messaging feature, like from a girl's perspective, feels weird. Like it feels like only fans, but like, you know, Listen, I'm not knocking only fans. It's not, for me. That's fine. There's an for every chair that is not my for my time.

 

B Mo (03:50):

Yeah. Quite literally an ass for every chair

 

Loren (03:53):

That is true. You're right. Like, yeah. Like I just, I get nervous about like the messages that would come in.

 

B Mo (03:58):

Like I I'm a little uneasy about it, but I'm assuming there's some sort of feature that if someone gets a little crazy, crazy, I can just be like, nah, bye dude. Cool. I think it's really cool. I also think it's very weird because I don't think there's ever going to be a point where I feel like I'm interesting enough for people to want to be that interested. Cause I'm like, I'm still just a guy in my living room doing dumb videos. So like whatever, but it's pretty cool.

 

Loren (04:22):

One of my favorite shows ever is impractical jokers. Do you watch that show at all?

 

B Mo (04:28):

Um, here and there, I don't like follow it religiously, but it is hysterical when I see it.

 

Loren (04:32):

It is. And so like a little behind the scenes about when I was pregnant with my daughter, um, in my third trimester, my dad actually had a stroke and so it was and Oh, how do I forget about this? My mom's husband died. Um, so yeah, so like the final, like trimester of my pregnancy was like the opposite of what it was supposed to be. And it was really, really traumatic and really sad. But that having been said, I sat there and watched impractical jokers over and over and over and over again. I don't care if it was the same episode, it didn't matter. It brought me joy. And I understand how you're like, Oh, I'm just me. Like, this is weird, but try to give yourself some credit too. Like you bring that for people, you bring a lot of joy, you bring a lot of happiness. You take people's minds off of the really tough things that they're going through. And there's a ton of value in that.

 

B Mo (05:22):

The thing that kind of changed a ton of things for me and my TikTok stuff was one day. Some guy had messaged me when I was just like walking around the neighborhood and he was like, Hey, the first thing I saw today was your video. And it like really changed my day. And I appreciate it because I started my morning by burying my best friend. And I was like, Oh. And he was like, so obviously it was a bad day. And just being able to laugh and find a way to laugh was super huge for me and could make me look at everything in a different light. And I was like, that's crazy. And there is real value in that entire moment. So you're right. Yeah. So I guess, I guess that's why

 

Loren (06:01):

I'm Very happy for you. That is awesome.

 

B Mo (06:03):

I have a little question for you. I don't know why I just turned British. I don't know.

 

Loren (06:09):

So top of the morning, I don't even know

 

B Mo (06:11):

I had some pre-workout a little while ago, so like I went to the gym, so it should be gone, but like maybe it's still coursing through my veins. So you were telling me about an idiot moment. Like you didn't know some famous dude or dudette was on your flight. Right?

 

Loren (06:28):

So I'm flying home for my friend Aaron's bachelorette party. This is obviously pre COVID. I was in Chicago and I'm at the gate and I'm watching this person like an older man, not an old guy, but he's, he's older and he's got like funky colored hair and I'm watching him get escorted onto the plane. And I'm like, what is happening here? Like, who is this person? I like, this is the strangest thing. Why is this old guy getting, you know, an escort? So I sit down and I'm like, I think the first row behind first-class. So I got a pretty good look of what's going on up there. And I text a picture to my husband and I was like, look at this BLEEP he's older, he's got crazy colored hair. He got an escort. Like, what is this? Do you have any guesses who, this was, it was Chicago. It was during the summer Lollapalooza.

 

B Mo (07:22):

I ha I have not a clue. Flea from the red hot chili peppers. Oh, Oh, that super checks out.

 

Loren (07:30):

I'm such a . BLEEP. I just felt like such an idiot. And I was like, yup. That's a pretty big band.

 

B Mo (07:35):

No, that's kind of wild. I don't think I had any like celebrity encounters where I didn't know that I was near a famous person. Actually. There was a dude who was like starting jaws. That was at a wedding I was at. And I had no idea that he was there, but then he did like weird seductive dancing later. And then it got weird and was like the guy who started in jaws or something, that's the closest to any time I was in with a celebrity,

 

Loren (08:00):

I have run into a ton of famous people. Which is so bizarre. I ran into Kate McKinnon from Saturday night live when she

 

B Mo (08:11):

Is the best.

 

Loren (08:12):

She is the best. And she was sitting in Copley square, like by the fountains, you know? And she was just journaling and I wanted to not be weird, but made it super weird. And I like, I didn't want to blow up her spot. So I like slowly like inch over to her as we're sitting mind you. Okay. Slight inch over. And I was like, "are you Kate McKinnon" she was like, ah, yeah. And I was like, I effing love you. You're just amazing little, like I got so nervous started dropping so many F bombs. It was like, you're so funny. You're the best person on the show. No one else should be on the show besides you, you are the most talented blah, blah, blah. And I was like, okay, well, nice to meet you. Thank you so much. And then I literally slid over again as I was still sitting and just further away. Right. Who am I?

 

B Mo (09:01):

You just told that story. And I was uncomfortable. I was not present for this moment, but I was uncomfortable,

 

Loren (09:08):

Poor Kate. And then I also ran into this was great. I ran into Sam Smith. Um, remember when he got his vocal surgery? Yes. Okay. He got it done at mass general hospital and that's where most of my doctors were when I was living in Boston. And so I remember there's a whole foods right. Outside mass general and I'm standing there and he's just literally standing on the sidewalk with a manager or someone. Right. And I just like very casually walk over and I was like, Hey, how's everything going with your voice? He's like, Oh, everything's good. Thank you. And I was like, great. You're super talented. He's like, all right, thank you. And then his manager's like, is everything okay here? And I was like, yup. Gotta go now by like, am I still uncomfortable?

 

B Mo (09:56):

That's so creepy. My favorite celebrity moment is I went to a wedding in the Cleveland Cavaliers were playing the Boston Celtics in a playoff series. So this was a big deal. And the cavs were staying in the hotel where the wedding was at. Shaq was on the team then. So we see Shaq roaming around doing whatever. And it was nuts. And me being a super basketball fan was like crazy. So then now the wedding is coming to a close and I am drunk. Like I am, I am eight sheets to the wind, like I am gone. And so I see a few of the calves coming back in and one of them is the head coach of the team. And at the time they were like leading the series and it looked like they were going to win the playoff series. Right. He's being super nice and saying hi and shaking hands to everyone. Super, super nice. His name was Mike Brown. And he goes to get in the elevator. And I was like, Hey Mike. And he was like, yeah, what's up. And I go, by the way, the Celtics are going to come back when the series and you're going to end up fired. Sorry. And like, and like, that was just like, that was like the crazy Celtics fan in me being like so better, like suck. And then, you know what happened? The Celtics came back, they won the series and he got fired. And I was like, somewhere. He has to be like, who was that kid? So let's be, uh, not jerky celebrities. And let's like, I like to say, show love to those who show love.

 

Loren (11:17):

My husband wants to call this bootleg cameo. And since you just cameo,

 

B Mo (11:23):

This kind of works. I do kind of like this bootleg cameo. So let's, we're going to do bootleg cameos for our shout outs. Would you like to go first?

 

Loren (11:31):

Yeah, I will.

 

B Mo (11:32):

All right. I would like you to be Phoebe from friends.

 

Loren (11:36):

Oh man. I didn't, I wasn't really that into friends, which is kind of funny. So. All right. No, there was a high yeah. All the time. Yeah. I think it was overrated. Sorry. Don't come for me. Um, smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you? Phillip Ching. Thanks for being a fan. Thanks for following me since Elvis Duran. Oh, I rhymed.

 

B Mo (12:04):

Wow bars. She got bars.

 

Loren (12:07):

There you go. So Phillip Chang super-sweet, always DMing me, followed for a long time. Thank you for subscribing. We appreciate it.

 

B Mo (12:14):

Wow. That was, I'm not going to lie. That was pretty good. I wish I had gone first. That was pretty solid. I didn't know you were going to like spit a whole rap. Like,

 

Loren (12:20):

Well, neither did I. It just comes out. Oh yes. All right. Here's who you're going to be Rose from the titanic.

 

B Mo (12:27):

Oh my God. Um, all right. It's been a while. Since I've seen Titanic, she was kind of British, right? She was like, Oh, she was British, whatever. I'm going to be the Rose that I am. Um, and I've shouted this person out before, but there's a reason I want to shout them out a second time. I would like to shout out once again, my favorite follower, dizzy, miss Lizzie, who, since we made this podcast, messaged me and has gone into my lives and have, has put in a ton of work to make sure other people are aware that this podcast exists. And to make sure that people are showing love and understand that we're out here trying to make an awesome thing for awesome people. So shout out to her. She doesn't need to do that, but she puts in work to help me. And I very much appreciate it. et. I guess that's Rose. She is. She is dope. She is awesome. She is like one of the, and we have never in real life ever met. So hopefully when things open up, we will.

 

Loren (13:27):

Yeah. Oh, for sure. That's so great. I love that. A rate and review us, please. You will get your own shout out. That would be awesome. Please tell your friends,

 

B Mo (13:36):

Please, please, please, please. That'd be dope. Now moving right along in the spirit of red hot chili peppers. And you're not knowing that they're on your planes. Let's talk about favorite nineties bands for a second. Oh my God. You got one. What's the deal. What's what's going on here.

 

Loren (13:53):

Oh, what was their name? Um, this is the story of a girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world.

 

B Mo (14:01):

That's train. Isn't it?

 

Loren (14:02):

No, it is not train. No. No. Why are we so bad at story of a girl? Um, people who are listening right now, want to punch us in the face?

 

B Mo (14:12):

Um, we would deserve it. We would deserve it.

 

Loren (14:14):

I often feel like I get I'm deserving of a punch in the face. Excuse me.

 

B Mo (14:19):

Yeah. This is why Google was made.

 

Loren (14:22):

Oh, okay. I was obsessed with them and out of nowhere, like our town put on this festival or something, and nine days was booked to perform and they obviously booked them. Yeah. They booked them way before story of a girl came out. But I will never forget, like meeting them, getting a meet and greet with them. They signed my hat and they were like, you're so cool. And I remember it was my American Eagle. Red American Eagle hat and I was like, I am so cool. And that they signed the brim stupid, but I loved that song and I was a big fan. What about you?

 

B Mo (14:56):

I am a super duper boy band guy. I'm not even shy about it. I was a boy band guy,

 

Loren (15:03):

But were you NSYNC or Backstreet boys? So

 

B Mo (15:05):

Here's the thing. Oh boy. All right. Buckle up. Because I was at the time, a pretty solid NSYNC guy over time, I have made a full shift to BSB.

 

Loren (15:16):

I've always been BSB. I love you even more. Yeah.

 

B Mo (15:19):

Yeah. So here's why, here's my great theory because NSYNC had the best performer of the two groups. Justin Timberlake said the King. Right. And then they had like JC whatever. And there was a little bit of a drop-off, but it was mainly like Justin was doing the heavy work for NSYNC. When you listen to Backstreet boys, it's almost like just one continuous vibe. They all were massively talented. And like, none of them were as good as Justin, but they just, as a unit were just so good. So that's like, I just feel like you got to go. Everything they've done has been good. Everything is good.

 

Loren (15:58):

Um, do you watch the masked singer at all? Nick Carter was on it and he's so good. And it was just, it was one of those cool things to watch. He didn't win it, which was shocking to me. I was like really a Backstreet boy. I didn't win. But.

 

B Mo (16:10):

speaking of Nick did on one of my tech talks one day In my mind means that I now am also a Backstreet boy. That is you are, there's no like logic behind that, but that is my justification.

 

Loren (16:24):

Wait, can you do a TikTok where you are all of the Backstreet boys at some point feels like you should. And then maybe they'll be like, am I going back out on tour? And our warm-up comedian is B Mo the Prince

 

B Mo (16:40):

I should. And fun fact at every single one of my friend's weddings. Uh, we have performed a Backstreet boys song. We've done a different song song. Um, my fo uh, I am big on, I want it that way.

 

Loren (16:53):

Oh, of course. Seventh grade, if you didn't say I want it that way, I'd be like, we need to end the podcast right now.

 

B Mo (16:58):

You just have to, that was the first one we did at my first friend's wedding. And then it just, it became a thing.

 

Loren (17:04):

You and your friends travel from wedding to wedding of your friends and just perform.

 

B Mo (17:08):

It literally became a thing to where people expected it. Like people were waiting when it, when are they going to do the Backstreet boys thing? And the fun thing was I was the last one to get married and shout out to my friends cause I'm married to a dancer. So she choreographed all our dances and I was in all of the dances and I always did a speech right before we performed it. So obviously neither one of us could be in ours. So they on their own put together all the choreography and they performed back all the dances we did for them. And they were like, you've given us special moments. So we want to give it back. And they performed them all back and then ended with, I want it that way. Fun fact, all of them who are not dancers, never once were able rehearse all together. So the first time they did it as a unit was at the wedding and it was perfectool. And then I cried like a baby

 

Loren (17:58):

I was part of a flash mob at a wedding. Remember when flash were real and yeah. Trending.

 

B Mo (18:04):

Yeah. It's so hot and heavy for a minute.

 

Loren (18:06):

They did. I was, I've been in two flash mobs, if you can believe that fun fact about Loren Raye. Yeah. Third person too. Yeah.

 

B Mo (18:13):

Queen and the flash mob did not know. All right. So the way we like to end our little show here is there I go again, why do I keep diving into the, a weird accent? British? I don't know that one. I sounded like the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins. Chim chiminy...

 

B Mo (18:36):

Our weirdo of the week, which oddly enough is not me.

 

Loren (18:41):

You know, what's funny. It's me.

 

Loren (18:47):

All right. So we, we just moved into this area. Right. And so we're finding new pizza places. Like that's my least favorite part about moving because you have to reestablish, like, who's going to do your eyebrows and what pizza you're going to eat. And so I call in and I was like, Hey, can we do half pepperoni? And in the other half meatball and ricotta, and the guy was like meatball and ricotta and him thinking, yes, please. The two very common ingredients in Italian food. So anyway, I go to pick up the pizza and he goes, Oh, you're, the meatball and ricotta person. I was like, um, yes, what does this mean? He goes, you know, I've worked here a really long time. Never heard that combo before. And I was like, don't pizza shame me. Like, why are you shaming me? So apparently I'm the weirdo.

 

B Mo (19:36):

I'm going to argue that he's the weirdo also kind of an ass. Like, that's kind of a mean way to go about it. You could have just been like, Oh, I've never heard this combo before. Instead of like pizza shaming,

 

Loren (19:47):

He took a leap, you know, in the middle of COVID like, you must be doing really well. If you can like sort of dog on one of your customers in the middle of coronavirus and risk losing them. Good for them, they're probably doing great.

 

B Mo (20:00):

Excuse me, hot shot. But I will say you might be my weirdo of the week just because of how you acted around Kate McKinnon. That's the only thing

 

Loren (20:07):

That's very fair. Yeah. The sitting and the scooching very quietly,

 

B Mo (20:11):

At least you gave her something to journal though. You said she was journaling. There was no doubt she wrote about you that day.

 

Loren (20:17):

Dear diary. I want nothing to do with this girl who just came and sat next to me. Please save me if this is my last will and Testament it stabs me and I die. Please give everything to my mom,

 

B Mo (20:31):

Man. All right. So on that note, please, my dears go rate review, do all the things we love you for it. If you would like more and Raye at L O R E N R A Y E at B Mo the Prince and still no sign off. So you toodaloo mother truckers.
