(Show Opener) Nonsense and nostalgia with B Mo the Prince: “Some mom brought her daughter over to me at a restaurant. And 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 Tae Bo.
B Mo (00:00):
Tae Bo baby, Billy blanks, the legend of Billy blanks,
Loren (00:05):
A fun story about Tae Bo. I was babysitting once and the girls were asleep. And so I was in their basement and their parents had Tae Bo and I'm like, hell yeah. So I'm like, Oh, ah, like punching and kicking and whatever. And all of a sudden, these poor little girls come downstairs and they're like, (GASP), I'm just doing Tao Bo. Anyway,
B Mo (00:28):
Billy blanks, man. He had us doing dumb stuff. Anyway, welcome back to nonsense and nostalgia where the millennial Prince and the bad-ass chick talk about life, Liberty and the pursuit of the nineties, Loren, how you're doing today girl?
Loren (00:41):
I'm good. I got my second COVID shot. I went through the day after where I was. Oh yeah. I was wiped out the day after.
B Mo (00:52):
Yes, thank God. I got mine coming in a month, so. I'm literally counting the day.
Loren (00:58):
Oh yeah. All I want to do is go to home goods. That's it. I don't need to go anywhere else. I don't have to adjust my life other than I want to be able to meander in home goods and that's it.
B Mo (01:07):
That's fair. I won't argue with that. So let's dive right in. And I would like to talk about, I think we brought it up another episode. I forget which one, but old odd jobs that we have, like old ridiculous career things we did because I, at one time was a, a grocery store deli clerk. It defined me. I was really that guy.
Loren (01:33):
Did you sell Boar's head?
B Mo (01:36):
Overrated. I'll tell you as the deli man. Super overrated. Overpriced.
Loren (01:41):
What?
B Mo (01:42):
Yeah. Super overpriced. It's a super scam. I'm telling you this from a deli background. I'm just, I don't want to say I'm a pro, but yeah.
Loren (01:49):
You know, I, I respect it.
B Mo (01:52):
I would say like a lot of my time as a deli clerk was nonsensical. So I just want to warn everyone when you go to the grocery store, treat these people, right. Just treat them right. Because this is the one warning I will give you. I won't mention the store because I don't want to get them in trouble, but we had a little code. Um, and we called it the Cincinnati press. So if someone got cheese and you wanted it, like certain sliced, whatever, it doesn't matter. As long as it's sliced and you were like a real crappy customer, then you would hear someone announce, you know, the weather in Cincinnati. I heard it was strange today. I'd be like, Oh, was it that's crazy? Like they had a football game today. Didn't they? I was like, and we were just talking about Cincinnati. And what you would do is you cut it when you put it on the scale, put it in the bag. And then as you just like, squeeze the air out, you press that cheese back into one block. So then when those people get home, once you get home, then you, you try to peel the cheese apart. And you're like, Oh, so if you ever get home and your cheese is back in a block, you're that person.
Loren (02:57):
That is an interesting, that I never knew. Yeah.
B Mo (03:01):
We had some stuff behind the scenes. I also was a terrible worker there. So to all the people who know the place I worked at, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being the person. I was, I was fun and everybody liked me, but I definitely did got nothing done. I was what, um, what weird job to do.
Loren (03:19):
I mean, it was kind of weird, but it was more so I had no business being there. I was working at a law firm right after I graduated high school. So right after high school. Yeah, my, um, old family friends that she owned a law firm. She was a partner law firm and it was fine, but I had no business working there and the weirdest part, but it was a family law office. And one of the girls from my high school, her parents were getting a divorce and they, one of her parents was using the attorney that I worked for. And so we saw and everything, like we learned about how much money they made and how the mom had some issues. And the dad had some issues and we all have issues. So it's okay. No judgment, but it was just one of those things where like I had zero business being there. I didn't want to be in law. It just paid really well. And I needed a job before I went to college and I was like, yeah, I could totally work here.
B Mo (04:16):
That's like I had, um, I had a bunch of jobs. I worked at the food place at target. I worked at obviously the deli spot. I was a camp counselor, which was like the funnest thing ever. Like the funniest thing ever. I just went and played like wiffle ball every day. And they paid me to do that. It was insane.
Loren (04:31):
Oh my God. I'm so glad. This is why we're friends. I loved it. I had, um, I had to really little kids though. I had kids entering kindergarten.
B Mo (04:38):
Oh, that is, that is little, little bitty, bitty, bitty. I forget the age range, but we had huge tournaments and stuff. It was great. But the one job I had no business in was Boston medical center, BMC. And it was like their big accounts payable department. Like it wasn't, they had like different departments, but this was where all of it came to a head and I was there. And um, I want to officially admit to the world that, uh, my MCAS results for math are a lie because back in the day, children's, uh, when you took like standardized tests, it wasn't on a computer. There was a packet. And you had to, you got to an answer sheet of circles. And so what I found out by the grace of God, some girl sitting diagonal from me had the same booklet number. Oh. And I was like, word.
B Mo (05:33):
Alright. So I rolled with her pattern of dots, changed a couple. And then I read like a couple of problems myself and tried them, those ones, I think I, 100% of the ones that got wrong and I only got like a slightly better score than she did. And then when, when people were like, what'd you get on the MCAS? I was like, um, you know, and I said, whatever the score was, and everyone was like, you did you, so that's how bad at math. I was like. So I have no business, no business doing accounts payable for anybody.
Loren (06:07):
You are the person who is potentially responsible for, like, if I got over-billed for something and I had to call you and be like, I already paid you for this.
B Mo (06:15):
It was, it wasn't even, um, like patients, it wasn't even people outside. It was like within the company and them buying like supplies in medical supplies. So like, I was sitting there like, okay, this is, there's a lot of stuff. And I got in the groove and like they had enough calculators and things that I didn't have to like, think on my own too much.
Loren (06:33):
The TI89. Did they supply you with the best calculator ever from middle school?
B Mo (06:37):
Yeah. I had my scientific calculator and I had no business there and I definitely, I made a point when I did quit. I quit because I wanted to get back to trying to do entertainment. But when I did quit, I made sure it was before tax season. Cause I was like, I don't know what I have F'd up and I need to not be here when they find out, okay. I need to not be present. I need them to be somewhere. I was going, ah, Brian.
Loren (07:04):
Oh my God, dude. That's amazing. No, that's all right. We all do stuff like that to get the cash. It's fine. As long as we were trying, I think that's all that matters.
B Mo (07:15):
Yes. Now let's move right along because I'm the King of no segues. Uh, I know you wanted to talk about kids with crutches.
Loren (07:26):
We, why are you talking? You seem confused. So like, let's say you were in my class, you broke your foot, you were on crutches and you had to go to like period six. If I was in your period five class and we were friends, you'd be like, yo, Loren's going to help me with my books. And we would get to leave like five to 10 minutes early. Oh, it was the best!
B Mo (07:47):
Actually, maybe that did happen. I think I was always like a jerk and I was never the one doing it. I remember kids on crutches, always leaving early. And I was like, that's some bull just cause he messed up his foot. He's an idiot.
Loren (07:59):
Definitely bull. Oh yeah, no, a hundred percent. Like did not need to happen. They could have had backpacks, whatever. Although I would argue it would throw you off balance. But I always thought that was like one of those coveted things from growing up.
B Mo (08:12):
Well, like now that I think about it, people did want to do that. I never did. I was always like, Hey, you did this yourself. You figure it out.
Loren (08:20):
I also liked being the messenger. Um, like in uh, elementary school. Yeah.
B Mo (08:25):
Yes. Yes. Cause you were, you were a hot ticket. If you were the messenger, you were King of the world. Like that was it. It was like, you were the secretary for the president.
Loren (08:36):
It's like the teacher trusted you. Right. And then you got to leave class and you didn't have to come back immediately. You could be like, Oh, well I got slowed down or whatever. Like it was great being, a messenger.
B Mo (08:46):
Oh God, you were, you were a King. You were royalty. And that's all it was. Oh, that's, that's a good point. That is a solid point. Oh you just like unlocked a memory. That was wild,
Loren (08:59):
That's what I'm here for.
B Mo (09:01):
All right. So per usual, we have to give love to those who gave love with our favorite little segment bootleg cameo. Um, would you like to go first? Would you like to me to give you your person? So I would like you to do your bootleg cameo as the one and only drew Barrymore.
Loren (09:22):
Oh wow. Okay. I don't know that I could do as well as Chloe Fineman from SNL because she is amazing. And like the best new cast member. Oh yeah. Her in Chris redd. I know you got to do the lip. I know, but it's really hard to do that. Okay. Um, I just want to say thank you very much to everyone else who has been leaving reviews for us. Um, so is a fear Nico and Sonia. Oh and broccoli and Madonna and reclaimed collector and country head. You guys have been amazing. Thank you. I'll try harder next time. All right. Um, for your bootleg cameo, I want you to be, Oh, Rachel from friends. I know you keep getting all these friends characters.
B Mo (10:13):
Uh, Oh, this is hard. I can see her now. I can hear her, but I don't know if I can do all right. Uh, okay. So, um, I, um, I want to shout out J D um, Because he personally, when I was hanging out with him, you know, gave a little love to the podcast and I, um, he also has one of his own that I would like to show love back. It's called it's always something and you can find it and listen. And um, hopefully someday one of us will be allowed to be a guest on it. So, um, yeah. Yeah. What's up JD.
Loren (10:52):
It's really good. I get it. Cause she like, she always talks like really short and she's, that's good. Um, I'm so glad you brought this up in all sincerity. I loved listening to JDS podcast. It was awesome. We used to work with him at amp. I meant to ask you if we should have him on as a guest. So I guess we should offer that.
B Mo (11:09):
I feel like that's a must, you know, podcasts like to rep other podcasts. That's what we gotta do. It's nice to see all of us fallen. I was going to say amputees, which is such a weird way to call it.
Loren (11:22):
Oh, but it's okay. It works. We broke something. Broke our hearts. Yeah.
B Mo (11:27):
Out of amp. It's nice to see us all like coming back a little bit. It's nice to see us still living
Loren (11:32):
For sure. For sure. Yeah. Check it out. It's always something is what it's called. It's his collaboration with big night live entertainment, which like big night live is. I love them. They're like my favorites in Boston, so. Awesome. Awesome.
B Mo (11:44):
All right. So now forget JD.
Loren (11:47):
Screw him.
B Mo (11:50):
Let's talk about, uh, moms going way too hard.
Loren (11:55):
Yeah. I have a complaint about my mom and I know she's going to listen to this and then she's going to just come into my house. And so do you remember? I think it was last week or the week before there was a ground Turkey recall that affected stop and shop and Wegmans.
B Mo (12:11):
I did not see this.
Loren (12:12):
Okay. So there was a ground Turkey recall that and we shop at Wegmans and we always buy ground Turkey every week because we like eating our Turkey mellow. So anyway, when the news broke, my mom called me, texted me and sent me an email. And I was like, first of all, Judy, relax. Okay. Literally it was like eight 30 in the morning. I was like, no, one's making ground Turkey. And if we already made ground Turkey last night, it's already in our bellies. Okay. So the moment has passed. It's fine. But I'm cracking up because she's like, so frantic, like I honestly thought someone had died. And so before I even texted her back, I just saw, I missed a call. So I called her. I was like, what's up? She's like, I just wanted to make sure you saw the ground Turkey recall.
B Mo (13:00):
I liked that. She called and she was like, Hey, there's a Turkey recall. I know you guys like this, blah, blah, blah. But then to call and text, all right. Aggressive. But then to like sit down and click clickity clack away at an email is a whole different level. It'd be like, you know what? I'm going to write a formal email. Let me send that.
Loren (13:17):
And it included the link to the article too. It wasn't just one of those like, Hey FYI, like she went out of her way to like copy and paste
B Mo (13:25):
Just in case you don't believe me here is evidence of this recall.
Loren (13:30):
It's very sweet, but man, and I know I'm a mom, but we go way too hard. Sometimes we really do
B Mo (13:35):
That is so, so aggressive. My mom is exactly the same way though. Yesterday, for example. So I'm driving, it's a snow, it's a snow storm. It was not a snow storm. I don't know why I said that it was a bad rainstorm. Right. And I'm driving in the rain and driving in the rain is awful and I'm super far from home. So I've got this long drive ahead of me. And she's like texting me, texting me. And I'm not answering because it's like so hard to drive. And so I get
Loren (14:02):
Generally speaking, it's a good thing not to do while you're driving.
B Mo (14:05):
And so I finally like get home and Sarah's like, will you text your mom? And I was like, why? And she was like, she won't stop texting me, asking if you're home yet. And I'm like, well, she, you know, she wants to make sure I got home safe. And then I looked at my phone and it was like a trillion messages of like, Hey, you home home question Mark home back, you safe, good driving home. What? It's like, ma
Loren (14:35):
Oh my God, don't you think it's a distraction, mom. B Mo? like, come on.
B Mo (14:41):
It is. But it's the exact same thing. And I think it's like mainly once moms or parents in general get to a certain age and they have like less other things to do. And they're like, well, you know what I'm concerned about? My children still. So, uh, I'm going to make sure they know that this Turkey is recalled and I'm going to make their homes safe.
Loren (15:00):
Oh, B Mo you Mark my words. I will still be doing the exact same thing for Sophie when she's 40. Okay. And God-willing, if my mother somehow happens to be still alive, then she will still be doing the same for me. So I get it.
B Mo (15:17):
Speaking of Mom's dog moms. We booked a trip to Miami and Sarah is already like, I miss Zazu. Like I already I'm concerned about like, I can't even think about leaving him for that long. Like w will we have to, what do we need to worry about? What should we, what do we need to pack? I was like, Sarah, we're not even leaving for like months. I don't know what calm down. You've got months with this guy before we leave.
Loren (15:43):
Let me tell you right now to have the ability to lock that thing in a crate at someone else's house or, or a part, you know, sheltering place, man, what a beautiful gift that is. Because I can't even imagine going away without Sophie. I don't even know where, who we leave her with.
B Mo (16:00):
It's funny because I keep like, I'm not against having kids. So like, I feel like whenever I say these things, it's it gives the impression that I am. But like every time I like think of kids, I'm always like, you know, I really do enjoy kids, but like having one that is just always there feels like it's a lot. Like, I feel like it's, it's one thing when you All right, well, I'll see you later, buddy. I'll see you next time. And they're super fun. But then that fun probably gets exhausting.
Loren (16:29):
It is exhausting without a doubt. The greatest gift I've ever been given in my entire life is my daughter full-stop and also it's a bitch. Sometimes it really is. It's okay. That's what being a parent is. That's why I can't stand people that always make it look perfect on social media with like the matching outfits and like, Oh my God, today we went and picked two ellipse at the farm. Like that's great. And also show me the times where your kid is melting down and you literally want to put a bullet through your brain. Like it's both, it's supposed to be both and that's normal. It's fine. I know.
B Mo (17:01):
Yeah. That's what makes those little tulip moments. So special.
Loren (17:04):
Yes it is. No, it is. It's all about balance. That's it?
B Mo (17:09):
Amen and not speaking of balance are weirdo or weirdness of the week. I'm going to stick with weirdo because this is my friend and I'm going to call them a weirdo. So, uh, just yesterday we found out that my friend Gabby up until like, maybe like a couple of weeks ago was convinced that Alaska and Hawaii were were below Texas. What? Like, that's where they existed. Like she thought that's where they lived.
Loren (17:47):
Almost give Hawaii because I'm thinking maybe like it's probably more lateral, I guess, but Alaska.
B Mo (17:55):
So the argument she made was that every map of the United States, you saw Alaska and Hawaii were like below either Texas or Arizona. Yeah. Where they just like, you know how they put them in the square at the bottom to be like, by the way, these also are States in the United States. They're just not attached to the continental United States. So she thought that's where they just lived. And so I was like, Gabby. Um, so where did you think South America was? And she was like, well, it w I hadn't. And then I was like, where did you think Canada was? She was like, well, I didn't realize that Canada was just like the whole top of America. I was like, it's America's hat the whole top. Like what, what are you doing?
Loren (18:44):
You know what, this makes me feel so much better. And I mean, it, because I'm terrible at geography, it's like a running joke in my family, how bad I am. And I'm not that bad. So thank you, Gabby. God bless you, Gabby.
B Mo (18:57):
The funniest part of it is because she kept trying to say, well, it was in all the school books, like, like our school failed us and I was like, Gabby. We all went to that school and we know this. So they did. And she was like, well, I said, they failed me, not us. They failed me. And so the one point I made to her was Gabby. And maybe you remember this at the end of all of these textbooks, that's where the maps were. Then you had the map of the United States. Then you have the map of the globe. I don't know if she just didn't flip the page and look at the globe one, but you look at the United States and then you look at the globe and you know where Alaska and Hawaii are, where they belong, like in the places they exist. So I was like, you just didn't flip the page. Like they were always at the back of the book, the maps were together, always.
Loren (19:43):
Well, lesson learned, flip the page. If that's not a metaphor for anything in life or everything in life, I should say flip the page.
B Mo (19:51):
God. All right. Well, thank you again for, uh, hanging out with us here at nonsense and nostalgia, um, we, you can follow us, keep rating reviewing. It's amazing. It's awesome. Every single
Loren (20:05):
Bit of support and a lot of people, I know last podcast we had mentioned, Hey, send us DMS and stuff. And a lot of people did that. So I'm so glad in one girl was like, I was about to DM you and then I felt weird, but then I heard you say, we should DM you. So here I am. And I was like, yesss
B Mo (20:21):
Yes, yes. And listen, I will say straight up if you DM me and I don't answer right away or at all, it's not because I'm trying to ignore you. It's just, I, I have a bunch of DMS I need to, I need to hire a DM secretary that can pass the messages to me. But, but I'm not trying to ignore you. I don't want to seem rude. I always feel bad about that. So I don't want to seem like I'm ignoring you keep, keep saying eventually I'll see something.
Loren (20:49):
It is totally the truth. I will see DMS from two years ago when I had my daughter. And I'll, I'll be I'll write back. I'm like, I am so sorry. I missed this one. But thanks for this most recent one you sent so bad. Yeah.
B Mo (21:00):
So, uh, give us a follow up and send us some dams at B Mothe Prince B M O the Prince and at Loren Ray, L O R E N R a Y E. Rate review. Thanks for stopping by people's flip the page.
Loren (21:15):
Yes.
