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 free nights and weekends. We'll call you back tonight at 9:01.
Loren (00:25):
Remember the friends and family. And you can choose five and your circle and all that whole thing. Yeah.
B Mo (00:30):
And I, I literally would tell people, never, ever, ever bothered me before 9:00 PM.
Loren (00:35):
Well, my parents won't. Let me call you back. Gotta wait until nine. They'll read the bill. They're going to see it. Oh my God. Welcome to nonsense and nostalgia where the millennial Prince and the bad-ass chick talk about life, Liberty and the pursuit of the nineties. This feels good. We're on a roll. I'm liking it. Thank you for listening and for joining. Um, you were just talking to me off the air about, I know I didn't watch nineties cartoons, but we talked about like, which ones were our favorites? Can we bring this on the air?
B Mo (01:06):
I'm all for it. Let's bring it to the, to the cast, the podcast,
Loren (01:10):
The shows, the cartoons, my favorite show. Full house.
B Mo (01:14):
Oh, a big full houser. Okay.
Loren (01:16):
Yeah. Dude, where you not?
B Mo (01:18):
No, I, I definitely was. I just, I don't know. I don't know why that was surprising to me. That was weird.
Loren (01:24):
Like you as a, a S I did not like Stephanie Tanner though. I will tell you that. Nobody liked Stephanie.
B Mo (01:28):
Oh, that is okay. Okay. That's going to be funny later. Um, all right. Uh, but yes. Why did you not like Stephanie Tanner?
Loren (01:37):
She's annoying. She was always annoying. She was like, you're rude. Rude. How rude? Yeah. That's I was a real big fan. I'm like, I can't even get her catchphrase. You're rude. Anyway. Um, although it's funny, I met Dave Coulier once, so he was a guest on the TJ show, but TJ surprised me. I didn't know who it was and it might, I was blindfolded and I had to guess, so he gave me a couple of clues and thank God on my third guest, I was like UNCLE JOEY! But he was super cool and it was great. And, um,
B Mo (02:10):
Fun fact when I was adopted and they were going over names, uh, what are we going to call this kid? One of them was potentially going to be Jessie because of the, the, uh, the man, the myth, the legend uncle, Jesse.
Loren (02:23):
Um, you know, it's funny you say that to have something so influential, like have that be so influential, if that was going to be what your name ended up being. I'm convinced that one of the reasons that I wanted to work on the radio and television just in entertainment is because of Danny Tanner and aunt Becky.
B Mo (02:41):
Oh, wake up, San Francisco.
Loren (02:45):
I'm convinced a hundred percent. And also April from teenage mutant Ninja turtles.
B Mo (02:50):
Oh, Oh, uh, T M N T fan.
Loren (02:56):
Oh yeah. Dude. Every day before school. Are you kidding? Yeah.
B Mo (03:00):
My respect level has always been high, but it is like, it is now through the ceiling. I it's different. What were your favorites? Um, first, before we move on, I need to know. Who's the best turtle. Your favorite turtle. Oh,
Loren (03:16):
Oh, it's so long ago. Raphael, probably.
B Mo (03:20):
Oh the angry one.
Loren (03:22):
That's that checks out. You know, I could not have told you now that he was the angry one, but knowing me yes, that checks, right.
B Mo (03:31):
I was so huge on Mikey because he was a clown and all he wanted was pizza skateboarding and funsies. And I would have been him. I would have been in a fistfight, saving the world, just like, Hey guys, look at this blue.
Loren (03:41):
And I always felt like, pay attention, get it together. You have jobs to do.
B Mo (03:49):
All right. So anyway, now that we've got that out, that important information, my big 90 show, 1000% guess, I will let you take one guess
Loren (04:00):
Fresh Prince of Bel air.
B Mo (04:04):
It was 100% the fresh Prince of Bel air 1000000%. And it's funny because I think I've said this before. I don't know if I've said it on this podcast, but I've said it a bunch of times before that when people have asked, like, why do you have the Prince on your name? And it's because people used to always like, when I was younger, say, Oh, you remind me of will Smith from the fresh Prince of Bel air. You literally just, you are him. You're doing the same stuff. And the crazy thing is I, for the longest time denied it, I was like, no, you're stupid, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then finally, when, back in the day you could go get DVDs of the whole series.
Loren (04:38):
Yes. Oh yeah. The box set $90. It was not cheap at all.
B Mo (04:46):
That's true. It wasn't ridiculously priced, but I got like the box set of the fresh Prince of Bel air and me and a bunch of my friends were watching it. We went out to a pizza place. And so, you know, that song, like I know, I know, I know, I know. I know. We were at Domino's or whatever. And that song came on and I started doing like this weird dance where I was turning my head at them and like doing something weird. And we got back, continued our fresh Prince binge with our pizzas. And that song came on in one of the episodes, an episode, I had never in my life seen up to that point and will Smith did the exact same,
Loren (05:27):
Stop it.
B Mo (05:30):
All my friends just went, say, wait. And I was like, all right, you know what? I literally can say nothing to this. I can send me absolutely nothing anymore. We did the exact same thing. It was so weird.
Loren (05:42):
That was a great show. It was so funny. Hey, maybe Hillary is part of the reason that I wanted to be in the media too. Remember she had her talk and wait, we can't gloss over this. The fact that they had a different actress playing aunt Viv after, I don't know how many seasons, but it still was a successful show is so strange to me, like good for them. Like it was that good that none of us cared. We were like, is that Aunt Viv? Whatever, doesn't matter.
B Mo (06:12):
I don't know if you remember, it was the perfect throw away moment where the end of the last season aunt Viv had had a little Nicky had had a baby. Oh my God, the next season they come in and she's like, I think she was holding little Nicky or whatever. And Jaz just looked at her and was like, huh, you look different. And then we'll just like, look straight at the camera and they just move right along. And I was like, word, I appreciate it. I super appreciate that. You like acknowledge that.
Loren (06:43):
Ah, man, they, there were some great shows growing up. I also loved boy meets world. I was a really big fan of Boy Meets World.
B Mo (06:51):
FEENY!
Loren (06:52):
The best, the best. Um, do you have fufu beliefs as I like to call them?
B Mo (06:58):
So I have no idea what you mean. What does a fufu believe?
Loren (07:01):
So here we go. Um, when I moved to Massachusetts, I had to go to the motor vehicles, get new license plates and all that kind of stuff I had just started dating my now husband and the license plate that was assigned to me from the state of Massachusetts was I will never forget it. Seven one eight, which was my husband's area code M B, which are my husband's initials and four, which is the day of the month that my husband was born.
B Mo (07:33):
Oh. What the hell?
Loren (07:35):
Right. And it was one of these moments where I was like, Oh, you know, I'm just like seeing this guy. And I was like, no, no, I think this is a sign. Like I'm weird. And I kind of believe in those fufu sign things.
B Mo (07:49):
I super believe in those things. Yes, I am. Me and Sarah are both super, super like weird hippy dippy, cosmic E like sign people were like, Oh, that's a sign. That means we need to book this place to do our thing. Yes, I am. We are absolutely those people.
Loren (08:07):
I'm so glad I'm not alone. And then the other crazy one that I noticed was when we bought our house in Massachusetts, we got obviously like a new landline when we signed up with Verizon. And the phone number that they gave us was obviously like the local Natick area code. And then the next three numbers, the exchange were the exact exchange numbers for my dad's phone number. And then the last four numbers are the exact last four numbers of my mom's phone number.
B Mo (08:36):
That is bananas. Wow. That is weird.
Loren (08:41):
I don't know. We are these kind of people who think someone's looking over us, like I'm not particularly religious. And obviously this podcast is not meant to get into like serious stuff, but
B Mo (08:53):
Let's discuss God.
Loren (08:56):
So are you agnostic an atheist? Um, but I think like I do believe in like some sort of general higher purpose that is sort of working on a daily basis. And when those types of things happen, I'm like, Whoa, like someone's looking out for me. Someone's telling me that this is the right thing. You know,
B Mo (09:13):
So many times that has happened to me. So, so actually, I can't remember like a bunch of the specifics, but after my grandfather had passed away who I was like super close to constantly, they were like things that somehow associated to him. And it would be like simple stuff that even when I quit my job at Boston medical center, because that's where I was working when he had passed away, like there was certain, like there was a trail of things that just led me to like, whenever I was thinking of, okay, maybe I should go back to trying to do radio or entertainment and blah, blah, blah. There were so many little signs that just were like, do it yeah. And I was like, I feel like every time I'm trying to do that. And here's one, I finally got one. It was, you know, the song, uh it's been Long day without you my friend.
Loren (09:57):
Yeah. Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa.
B Mo (10:03):
Yes. So when both of my grandparents were passed away, after my grandmother passed away, I made like a tribute video to them and just like their love and whatever. And that song, literally, it's not like heavy in rotation. Now. I hear it all the time in moments when like it is super needed or when I'm making a tough decision. It like when, when I'm trying to figure out which way, when I'm like leaning towards something it'll play. And I'm like, this is so weird. But like thanks guys.
Loren (10:31):
Yes, you do. You're like, thank you. Oh my God. Well, I'm really glad I'm not alone. And it's like, I, I feel like a sappy person for believing in things like that, but okay. All right. That makes me feel better. Thank you. Yeah. I'm also, do you know what we need to get into? At some point you worked at Boston medical center. Like what were you doing before radio?
B Mo (10:56):
HAHA accounts payable. I had no business there.
Loren (11:00):
That's great. Wait, I'm going to write this down, please. Let's talk about all the jobs that we had before radio and how we had no business doing that. Cause I worked at a law firm. BMO. Yeah.
B Mo (11:12):
Oh my God. Okay. Okay. I got some deli clerk stories too for you. So let's, let's dig into that one.
Loren (11:17):
Excellent. I love it. I love it. Episode. All right. Bootleg cameo. As you know, we shout you out. Say thank you so much for subscribing listening, rating, reviewing all that good stuff. Follow us on social at Loren raye, L O R E N R a Y E at B Mo the Prince at BMO, the Prince. Um, so for you, you're going to go first this week, if you don't mind. And I have my handy-dandy list in front of me closing my eyes. You are going to be, Oh my God, stop it. We literally stopped Stephanie Tanner.
B Mo (11:54):
Oh, you're kidding me.
Loren (11:55):
No, I know.
B Mo (11:59):
I will tell you this right now. I'm not going to lie to you. So I don't do them randomly in a moment. I pick them ahead of time for just like how I feel. I literally also picked Stephanie Tanner. That's why, that's why at the beginning, I said, it's interesting and Oh my God. Okay. Stop for a freaking second. We were just talking about weird signs and weird things. Like literally we started this talked about full house. I said, Oh, this is gonna be weird later. And then we come back and we both end up having picked Stephanie. This is the part where you play the X-Files music.
Loren (12:33):
Ooh. Um, weird.
B Mo (12:37):
All right. Um, okay. How rude? Well, I guess that's how you have to
Loren (12:45):
You're Rude if you're me and you can't remember basic nineties references on a podcast about nineties nostalgia, but anyway,
B Mo (12:53):
Um, yeah, there are a few podcasts that I find myself audibly being a part of the conversation. Like I'm actually in the room with the host and this was from D D Lolita, D E L E D a. So thank you D Leeda. That's exactly how we want you to feel like being in the room with us while we have this like chat and stuff. Cause we're not trying to be rude. We want you to be a part of it. So yeah, I guess, or whatever, she also said, um, question for you. I don't know if you know this, uh, at the end of that comment, she wrote specifically for Loren. We are! In all caps with three exclamation points.
Loren (13:40):
She's a Penn Stater. That's our chant. We go past and then at the end we go, thank you. You're welcome. You, you don't feel like you're not into it. Okay. What am I going to be? Do you want me to be Stephanie Tanner? I don't know.
B Mo (13:58):
Yeah, let's do dueling. Stephanie Tanner's mine was garbage, but like you have a, you have an agenda against her. So I do kind of want to get your Stephanie Tanner.
Loren (14:08):
I'm just going to name a bunch of people who left us really nice comments. Tea cup 23, my old friend from basking Ridge. Hi Gord, Chica raging red bill. Jen, Nan J eight, two Oh six route Nikolay 15 Lexi, B 86. Your rude Ken Lowery. Jennifer Anastasio, Perry, Sierra, crystal. How rude.
B Mo (14:30):
Wow. Okay, so you, so Loren one, BMO's zero hard zero there.
Loren (14:37):
I didn't like her. You know, I, I, I feed off of things that I don't like, I guess I'm not sure you should see me on the Peloton in the morning when I'm angry. I'm like KDHSFKJHDSF terrible.
B Mo (14:49):
All right. Well you won that round. Wow.
Loren (14:52):
All right. Well, thanks
B Mo (14:53):
Everyone who rates and reviews. We really appreciate it. And, and hopefully we won't, uh, pick mocking people to, to mock you as you rate and review. But thank you anyway.
Loren (15:03):
I know, no, we're not mocking anybody. Just to be clear.
B Mo (15:08):
Exactly.
Loren (15:10):
I think we kind of talked about this on the last episode, and I'd love to dive into this further, the popular entertainment that you don't know, but maybe your spouse does or all your friends do or whatever, because I am super guilty. I never watched star Wars. I never watched Indiana Jones. I'm sorry. Nope, no Jurassic park. Did you see that
B Mo (15:33):
I'm running out of air to gasp? I can't catch anymore little shocked about star Wars and Indiana Jones because Harrison Ford is a stud and he deserves his flowers.
Loren (15:42):
He is a stud!
B Mo (15:45):
So I didn't see until like maybe a few years ago, maybe like three or four years ago, the Sandlot, which is yeah. Yep. Punch me in the teeth with it. Go ahead. The first time I saw it was a week before I went to see it at a Fenway at Fenway park, they showed it on like the big screen at Fenway. And that was the first time I had ever seen it. And then recently this one, Sarah has not seen a ton of movies. And so I always give her crap about it. This was one she gave me crap for. I have never once until, uh, the second one came out, had seen coming to America.
Loren (16:25):
Well, what you of all people really? I think because like, you're a black comedian, like, I just feel like you had to have seen it?
B Mo (16:33):
This one, there's a reason for it. So every time I never could like stumble across it to watch and anytime I did or it was on TV or whatever, it would always be kind of halfway through or whatever. And so I refused for my first time to see it to be partial and then piece it together later. So I would, I would never watch it. And then I would just like, kind of forget about it until someone will bring it up and be like, ah, I need to watch that movie. So coming to America, two came out. I told Sarah that and she was like, we should watch the second one. I was like, I haven't seen the first one. She was like, you're divorced. But, but no, she was like, no, you need to just say it. So finally I watched it and my God did, I, I missed out that movie is excellent. Excellent.
Loren (17:14):
To be fair. I criticized you. Can't believe you haven't seen it, but I hadn't seen it until I married my husband because he's such an Eddie Murphy fan that he like forces me to sit down and watch all of his standup specials and I'll just come downstairs and he's watching, I forgot the name of the special, but if you know Eddie Murphy, you know, the special where he's wearing the red leather. Yeah. And he's just sitting there watching it and I'm like, doesn't it get tiring? Watching jokes be told over and over and over again. He's like, no, I love it.
B Mo (17:44):
So I am like with each passing episode, I am realizing and more that you and Sarah deserve to be best friends because I've watched like Dave Chappelle when he came back and had the two specials on Netflix or a couple of other ones, I have watched them a thousand times and Sarah will be like, this... Can we watch something different? I mean, Sarah, this is, this is hysterical. How are you? She was like, well, we've seen it in like, and I'm like, wow,
Loren (18:16):
I'm with her on that one. I feel like, you know, if it's got a punchline and you know, what's coming, no need to watch it again. It's okay.
B Mo (18:23):
I don't know why I laugh at it, but it still hits me the same amount every time.
Loren (18:26):
Oh my God. Uh, and weirdness of the week you have one this week?
B Mo (18:31):
I do. So it's been a while. I am very much a movie goer, pre pandemic. Me and Sarah made a point to go to the movies like once a week. Yeah.
Loren (18:42):
I remember that about you, you know, when life was normal. Yeah.
B Mo (18:46):
And like, it was just like the experience, the popcorn now, the recliners and all of them love it. And so we made it, uh, made it a point to, even if it was a crappy movie, we didn't care to see. We would fork up the thousand dollars that the movies charge now and go see. So for a year haven't been able to go, we went to the movies for the first time in a year, but it wasn't just us. It wasn't like a fun little day thing. So you might want to take your aww back.
Loren (19:16):
zpzpzpzppzpz (rewind noises)
B Mo (19:16):
Why was that so good. Be kind rewind. Um, so what we did was AMC, lets you rent out the theater. So we rented it out and like a bunch of our friends went to go see Godzilla vs Kong, which was a terrible movie. But unless you just wanted to see stuff, blow up and see monsters, which we did. But the weirdness was going back. It was like going to like one of those old Western abandoned towns where the thing like the hay thing, the hay ball or whatever,
Loren (19:51):
Blows across in the wind.
B Mo (19:53):
We walked in and half of the snack bar lights were off and I was like, do you guys have snacks? And they were like, we do. It's just like, obviously there's not enough people here. So like we, we don't put everything on. And we just like, we were the only people in the lobby at the time, there were definitely other people seeing other movies, but there were like maybe seven other cars in the lot. It was so creepy and weird, but like also nice. But like that was, it was like randomly walking into, I am legend with like five of your friends. Like it was, it was a weird, weird situation. It was so creepy.
Loren (20:29):
I have a very that's good. No, I'm glad it was fun. I have a very important question for you regarding snacks. Are you a chocolate covered Gummy bears. Fan?
B Mo (20:39):
Time, the hell out. Wait, Whoa. Wait, what? I didn't know that existed.
Loren (20:49):
Hell yeah man. Oh my God. Chocolate covered gummy bears. I first discovered them at some movie theater growing up, man.
B Mo (20:56):
How have I made it this far there?
Loren (20:58):
I don't know. That's a great question. And uh, they're they're hit or miss. I will tell you some people really like them. They're very polarizing, but I'm a big fan. So I figured I'd ask and you failed. So we'll uh, we'll try again in a year and see, see if you've had them since
B Mo (21:12):
I'm a huge popcorn guy. I get like the massive bucket. I cover it in layered butter. I used to go to the movies. Yes.
Loren (21:21):
THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU. I literally was going to discuss with you how terrible the people at the movies are in putting the butter on like put some popcorn in, put the butter, put some more popcorn, then put some more butter. It's a fricking parfait. Okay. It's a parfait, a butter and popcorn.
B Mo (21:37):
There's nothing worse than getting into your popcorn bucket, getting half way through. And all of a sudden it's just dry. It's like you're eating desert. And you're like, Oh, like give me, give me two layers. It needs two little blip loops.
Loren (21:51):
I need it. If I didn't already love working with you, this just sealed the deal. This is it. I'm so glad this has been,
B Mo (21:58):
I used to tell them. My catchphrase going was listen, when you're putting butter on here, I want enough butter to stop my heart and enough salt to start it back up again. This is what I know. I want emergency vehicles on the way. I want you to go that aggressively with this, with this butter,
Loren (22:14):
I used to work at Boston medical. Don't worry. They'll know who I am. They'll come right away with their ambulance is fine. Oh my God, you are the best. This is super fun. I'm glad we got to learn more about each other. There are things in here that I never knew about you. Very exciting. Um, thank you for listening. Please. Rate, review, subscribe.
