Introduction (theme) (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 does that, not me. I just record audio in the closet and I never shower brought to you by the Zack attack. Don't miss the friends forever. Vegas residency beginning, July, 2022, Zack.
B Mo (00:27):
I'm sorry, everyone. I was a big AC Slater guy. Slater was my guy.
Loren (00:33):
Really? I had a crush on Zack Morris who didn't it's the dimples I'm telling you. Okay. All right,
B Mo (00:41):
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to nonsense in nostalgia where the millennial Prince and the bad-ass chick talk about life, Liberty, and the pursuit of the nineties. Loren, how you doing?
Loren (00:51):
I'm good. Rolling along.
B Mo (00:52):
This podcast is cooking now, dude, it is, we are cooking. This is episode 11. Yes. That's double digits.
Loren (01:01):
It is. And shockingly, like I thought a lot of people would fall off by now and be like, no, thanks. Not interested. And I got to say, I'm very impressed with our numbers and I'm very grateful for it. So thank you.
B Mo (01:13):
Shocked and appalled.
Loren (01:15):
At least we're honest with ourselves and our audience.
B Mo (01:18):
So there's one thing that happened to me. And I would like to discuss it because I am very excited. It might lead to my retirement from social media, from TikTok from all things. I might retire from earth. Nick Carter at one point had commented on one of my Tik TOK videos. That was a while back, but I got Lance Bass too. He jumped in on the comments and was like, Oh, okay, Hey, what's going on?
Loren (01:53):
Oh my God. Was it the it's going to be may one.
B Mo (01:55):
It surely was. Of course it was.
Loren (01:58):
First of all, that was so good. And it wasn't like the typical it's going to be may. So I was very good.
B Mo (02:02):
Yes. Yes. But like, I didn't even check it. Like I posted it and then let it live and came back later and saw you always see the little check Mark and they, I think they put those comments on top to begin with. Yeah. So I, yeah, so I saw it and I was like, ah, who who's verified that. I got, I got it. Oh, I got
Loren (02:26):
That is life changing. I try to put myself in your shoes and I'm like, famous people know who you are. And it's not just like what? They've seen your TikTok. Like they know like you talk regular or I don't know regularly, but like you talk to Leslie Jones and like, now I want you to start talking to Lance Bass. Like this.
B Mo (02:44):
It's a weird, it's a weird situation. I have I in under no circumstance. I have any business talking to these people, but I am sure going to chat them up. but it was pretty wild. And it's funny. My favorite part of when something like that happens because happened when Nick Carter commented too. Cause I did some BSB thing. Um, I just love watching everyone else freak out because Nick Carter or Lance bass saw it and said something and they all comment on it. They're like, Oh my God,
Loren (03:15):
Do you automatically in your head go to the chain of events? Because that's exactly what I would do. I'd be like, okay. So someone personally knows him, saw my TikTok or Instagram and then sent it now, do you think they DMD it? Do you think they sent a link? Then they like texted it to him. Like that's how close they are?
B Mo (03:35):
So that's how me and my friends went about when Leslie Jones had messaged me at one point in it, she said she was filming this, uh, Uber eats commercial where she was playing herself, talking to herself or whatever. Yeah. So she was like, I just recorded this. Like I just shot this. Uber eats commercial. And I thought of you. And then my friend was like, do you realize that you weren't even in front of her? And she was working and then thought, huh? You know, this is what B Mo does like that. And then I was like, Oh my God, I didn't even think of that bananas. Wow.
Loren (04:09):
I say it all the time. And you're always very humble and very kind, but like one day you're going to need to leave this podcast because it's just not going to be sustainable for you any longer. And that's okay with me. Like I'm fully prepared for it. And I'm so excited about that. Like I just get so pumped for you and all the things that are coming your way. And it's just so funny. Cause like, I know that you think I'm joking, but I'm not like you should never continue doing this podcast
B Mo (04:35):
To get to a hundred episodes. That's my mission at the very least at the minimum a hundred. And then we'll, then we'll renegotiate. I'll have your people can talk to my people and we'll just, we'll figure it out from there.
Loren (04:46):
Wait, did you say my people can talk to your people? I don't really have people.
B Mo (04:50):
Okay. So Matt can talk to Sarah and that's what
Loren (04:53):
Our spouses will be like. Okay. So there's sort of making some income, but not really, but let's try to amp this up. Um, and that being said, if you want to advertise on a podcast that is actually getting some solid download numbers, you just reach out to us. Okay. Let us know.
B Mo (05:10):
Just we can read things too. Like it's the whole thing. So if you need it, if you've got money, we'll take it. Um, so another thing that, uh, I was thinking about this week was I just started thinking about it because I saw a bunch of memes that involve this and I just kind of dove into it and I threw it into one of my tech talks or whatever was Chucky cheese, remember Chuck E Cheese,
Loren (05:32):
Oh my God. I saw that TikTok. And yeah, I do remember Chuckie cheese and I simultaneously get so excited about those memories. And also so blahhhh those memories
B Mo (05:42):
Because my mom had sent me a picture that she had found. And it was me at Chuck E cheese with a couple of kids or whatever. And you see the mascot, the rat, which is their mascot.
Loren (05:53):
pizza rat before it was a thing.
B Mo (05:55):
And so I didn't even think of that, but I'm looking at this picture and I go, that place just looks Dungy. Like it looks, it doesn't look like somewhere I would want to be. And in my mind I started like remembering the reality of being there without the kid glow over it. And I was like, you know, that place was not great,
Loren (06:19):
Dude. The ball pits were gross. I remember my parents and this was like pre Purell and hand sanitizer because believe it or not, like when we were young that didn't exist. And I just remember my parents being like, get out, get out of the ball pit. You can't play the ball bit. They would not let it happen.
B Mo (06:37):
I just remember my grandparents would let me play in the ball pit. And then my mom would be like, STOP. Full of urine.
Loren (06:42):
It's disgusting. And I'm now living through a pandemic. You're like, Oh, ball pits are gross.
B Mo (06:49):
Like, what was I doing? Like I was just in a pit of disgustingness, but the place was gross. The pizza was, eh, it was pizza.
Loren (06:57):
I liked their pizza, but I'm sure I would hate it now. Yeah.
B Mo (07:00):
Yeah. Like anytime someone said pizza, when you were a kid, you crapped a brick. Like you were all set for pizza. But anyway, the most terrifying part of Chucky cheese to me was the robot, uh, the animatronic.
Loren (07:16):
Yeah, I think so.
B Mo (07:17):
But like the band that would randomly play at certain points.
Loren (07:21):
and they would, they would turn to look and it would be like Zzzzipp and then they would like get stuck, you know? And then they, they, they turn like birds. But really slow.
B Mo (07:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, there was no natural movement to it. Like the eyes would be looking super left, but the head would be all the way. Right. And you were just like, what? But like, there was so much that just was wrong with that place on top of it being a child casino essentially. Right?
Loren (07:48):
No, it's a great way to look at it. Um, I remember I was on maternity leave when the story broke that they reuse their pizza slices and anything that's like not eaten from another family. They put back into a new one.
B Mo (08:04):
Wow. I did not know that, but at the same time I am 0% surprised. Yeah. Well thanks a lot. Chuck E cheese for giving us a good time. And now giving me nightmarish memories,
Loren (08:16):
I'm never taking my daughter there,
B Mo (08:18):
But I'll never ever get rid of. And like you could've thought of something better than a rat just saying,
Loren (08:24):
I know. I wonder who came up with that.
B Mo (08:27):
That's someone stupid.
Loren (08:29):
Well, they need to make a podcast just about Chucky cheese. There's a podcast right now about the downfall of the Knicks that my husband is obsessed with. So don't go listen to it. All right. Just stay with nonsense and nostalgia - no, they need to make a podcast about that. Like how did Chuckie cheese come about? I need to know all the intricacies.
B Mo (08:47):
It's kind of a dark story. I bet you there's like weird. Oh God, I need it. Someone Netflix. Get on it please. Now over to boot leg cameo. Yeah. I don't know why I felt the need to sing it, but I was in jazzy mood. Um, so what we do is we act like nineties icons and we do terrible impressions and thank all you wonderful, wonderful listeners for all your reviews and all the things and all the messages that you sent. So I will, uh, give you your person first keeping with the saved by the bell theme. I'd like you to be screech.
Loren (09:29):
Oh my God. Okay. Uh, okay. All right. Hey guys, how you doing? I just want to thank King P Jones for listening to the podcast. I think he's a fan of yours. B Mo and he told me that I am washing my hands the right way. And you are washing your hands the wrong way because you're supposed to put the water on first. So call back to a previous episode. That is the worst. I don't even know how he sounds.
B Mo (09:58):
So I'm going to tell you this though, not the best screech, but quietly an excellent Tommy pickles.
Loren (10:10):
Okay. So, um, it was Tommy pickles. That is actually what B Mo asked me to be. How funny I forgot about rug rats. I used to love that show
B Mo (10:17):
Everyone who's listening right now. Just go back a little bit and now listen to that again and imagine it's not screech and imagine it's Tommy pickles and it is almost spot on.
Loren (10:28):
Well, thank you. I aim to please in very off target ways.
B Mo (10:33):
You work in mysterious ways. That's all
Loren (10:35):
Exactly. Um, I want you, Oh my God. I need you to be the English, the English version. I agree. Would you like me to try it again,
B Mo (10:47):
Please?
Loren (10:48):
I get paid to be a voiceover actress in case you're curious.
B Mo (10:52):
Words are hard.
Loren (10:54):
The English version of Lindsay Lohan from the parent trap. Oh my God. I don't remember her name.
B Mo (11:02):
Okay. Well, I'd like to, I'd like to thank, uh, spike 1989 for, uh, saying the podcast is amazing and it made them realize that 90 is really where the pinnacle for quite literally everything. And, um, they didn't stop listening either when they found out that we didn't know what Tommy boy was, we hadn't seen it so they didn't stop listening then. So that means we have a really good podcast. And uh, thank you spike 1989.
Loren (11:38):
Thank you. Perfect. Kind of like an Adele. I don't really know.
B Mo (11:41):
Definitely was somebody else, but it was, it was English.
Loren (11:44):
Yes. Swing and a miss for us this week, but that's okay. We'll try again. Next week.
B Mo (11:49):
Listen. 11 episodes in, they can't all be winners skies.
Loren (11:54):
And also, um, Oh, I know who you're going to be next episode because perfect. Somebody sent me a DM and gave a suggestion. So I'm going to write it down right now. So I do not forget. And if you are listening and you have any suggestions, please DM us and let us know. Cause we're, it's not like we're running out, but it's, we gotta like keep thinking of these every week. So it's a lot. Um, and thank you for reading and subscribing and reviewing and telling your friends. It makes our day,
B Mo (12:20):
All of those things. Cause I still am baffled like legitimately baffled that we have, I think like 160 something reviews, dude. Yeah. I've done podcasts before and like made podcasts from the ground up and never have I surpassed 20 reviews. So
Loren (12:36):
Yeah, I I've never done a podcast. So here we go. This is great for both of us. This is awesome. But for real, thank you so much for listening. And it means so much that week to week. We're not losing anybody. In fact, it seems like we're gaining some audience, which is really special. So thank you for telling your friends.
B Mo (12:54):
Thanks Gang gang. And now let's talk about some adult stuff. Some grown-up stuff, because one thing I have started to realize, especially maybe just, not just because, but coming out of a pandemic when you didn't get to hang out with a lot of people, didn't get to see a lot of people. I'm going to talk about tightening your circle. Okay. So first and foremost, have you just like kind of naturally tightened your circle as you've gotten older?
Loren (13:21):
Yes. I have always had a ton of acquaintances and maybe four best friends, if that like, and they're all the best friends, like some of them overlap, but some of them don't with one another. So, um, yeah, I've always had a very tight circle.
B Mo (13:41):
So like I've started to realize like getting older, there's just like stuff I'm like, I don't really feel like dealing with your BS.
Loren (13:51):
A hundred percent. Like you just don't care anymore.
B Mo (13:53):
Like, like some people would send me like some messages or whatever or wanted to argue politics and this, that the other one, I was like, you know what? We ain't cool enough that I need to like deal with this deuces, like Chuck them up and I'm out.
Loren (14:09):
Is that not the most freeing thing ever to be like, yeah, I don't feel like doing this.
B Mo (14:14):
I feel like in the moment I kind of feel bad because I don't want to be like a jerk to people. But at the same time afterwards, I'm like, there's so many people on this planet. I don't like you don't need all of them.
Loren (14:24):
No, you definitely don't. Especially the ones that bring you down. You're like, I have no need for this
B Mo (14:29):
Wild to me. So now I'm looking back on it. This is like a self therapy session that's happening right here. As I'm looking back on it. This is a lot of thing that happened to me through pandemic time, because I'm also realizing, and this is not that I'm not still friends with all my friends, like my tight group of friends. Like we're always going to have like a group chat and talking garbage, doing whatever. Um, but I've also realized that there are definitely two paths, right? So now that I'm doing Tik TOK stuff and trying to do acting stuff and trying to do like stuff in the entertainment industry, it doesn't necessarily lend itself to the same life as someone who is doing a nine to five or is working like, like a normal person and taking a job that isn't this mine bottling li insane, uh, mind boggling. I literally said mine bottling. That's a good example. So one thing I've noticed. Yeah. So one thing I've noticed is that it's not that I'm like leaving these people, but I'm also kind of reaching a point where I need to adjust in be spending time with people who are also in that industry and have them close by to help guide through that world, which is so weird and so awkward all at the same time.
Loren (15:54):
No, it's so normal though. It's really funny. You say that because my first job in radio was answering phones for Elvis Duran and the morning show. And so I always joke, but it's not a joke. It's actually what happened. I went from going to bed at three o'clock in the morning to waking up at three 30 in the morning for my job within a matter of 48 hours. That's how quickly they were like, okay, you're starting, let's go. And so it was so apparent right away, the friends who are the creatives or who have those passion type jobs who were super supportive of me having this weird schedule where I couldn't really go out, dating was impossible. It was impossible to date people while you're on a morning show. Um, and so yes, I fully understand that. And I think just like naturally as time has gone on, because that was my schedule for 13 years, the people who have remained in my life are the people who are either, like you said, sort of in the same creative Headspace or which sounds so like pompous, but either that, or they're just super supportive and they're like, it doesn't matter when we can see you. That's how we're going to keep our friendship. Yeah.
B Mo (17:04):
I definitely have friends like that that are like, yo, whatever you're doing, bro. Like keep doing it. Yeah. And then there's also those friends that kind of, I don't know, I don't want to say competitive, but there are definitely friends that are like, Hmm, about whatever you're doing and kind of like, Oh, so you aren't gonna come to this thing.
Loren (17:22):
I think it helps weed out who is there to be your friend and your ride or die. And like, we'll support you with whatever endeavor you want to do. Like one of my, my closest friends from high school, we kind of, we didn't lose touch, but we just weren't as close, like in college and after college. And then we had our babies exactly a week apart. So our pregnancy was almost identical. And so we got really, really close. And I, after I lost my job last summer, I was like, you know, I think I'm going to start doing voiceover again. I haven't done it in 10 years. I don't know if I can do it. And she just said, if there's anyone I know who can do this, it's you. And I was like, Oh my gosh, that feels so good. Like, it was so nice because it didn't matter the distance we don't live in the same city, but still like they know me and they know what my passions are. And she was like, I'm going to be here for you no matter what, a hundred percent
B Mo (18:16):
It's dope. And I don't mean to like, turn this fun little podcast as we were making fun of Chuck E cheese into such a serious thing. But like, even, even through like my socials, you can see that like, I'm very appreciative of the things that are happening to me right now and on my behalf. And I'm trying to navigate that in a world. And the reason why, like, I've been thinking a lot of this is, this is, uh, kind of a, like a weird thing to share. And you, you might think I'm weird for it. You might not, I don't know whatever, but so last, uh, last week I want to say it was last Friday. I don't even remember I was driving and just like, things are happening and like going to where I want them to go and whatever. I just like got emotional about it. And I was sitting in the gym parking lot, sobbing in my car alone. And then I was like, what is happening right now? First of all, I'm also trying to make sure no one can see me because there's a bunch of big buff guys around. And I want to also be a big buff guy at the gym. So I, you can't see me cry, but, and it was just like, in that moment I realized that I was just like so happy. And then that in a, an even like more macro way, it felt like I had finally like landed in a spot where I was supposed to be, that I kind of hunted for like 33 years. So then it felt like I was like there and I was like, Whoa, this is like heavy stuff. And the way I said it to my sister was like, it feels like in that moment, I like was sitting in a car and finally met me, which is like weird to put it.
Loren (19:51):
No, it's not weird. Oh, I hate that We're so far apart. I just want to give you a hug. No, because I feel this so hard and I think it's great.
B Mo (20:00):
The microphone hug, it'll just we'll hug the microphone.
Loren (20:05):
I think, especially if you're listening and you know what it's like to lose your job, it is a huge identity F. Yeah. Like it just messes you up entirely and people can tell you all day long. Don't tell your, I don't know, do to your, I don't care. What we do for a living is creative, personal work, and I am completely intertwined. And that's just how it's going to be. Yeah. And having lost myself after losing my job, I, we both have had a really wild year. And it's funny you say that you pulled into the gym and you cried because our friend, Tom Kelly has a podcast. I guest on his podcast a lot and he works for morning America. So he has a major pull and he got ginger Zee on his podcast from good morning America, the meteorologist chief meteorologist. And after I interviewed her, I turned off my mic and I cried. And it was one of those moments, like you just described where it was like, I don't know what's happening next, but I feel like something is coming. And all of the, this past year has been leading up to this particular moment. And it's a very emotional thing. Um, especially if you've lost something along the way, so to speak. So I'm so pumped for, I don't know a lot about what's coming next for you. I just know like a couple things and I can't really talk about it, but I'm so excited.
B Mo (21:33):
Yeah. And so like, I didn't mean to like bring everything down, but the whole point is I very much want other people to kind of like vibe off that and know that like, yeah, I got punched in the teeth. You got punched in the teeth last year. And there's always like a little, a little something you can do and it can, it will. And always does eventually come back around. So weirdness of the week, um. Here we go. Um, so I know most of mine are always me at the gym because like weird stuff happens there. Um, I was like laying on my stomach and it was like hamstring curls, kind of my whole sweaty body is on this machine. Right. So I'm working and then some woman runs up and she was like, I stood up just to like take a sip of my water and like take a second between sets. And she runs up and she was like, Oh, you done? And I was like, Oh no, I've got like three more left. And she was like, Oh, can I jump in for one? I was like, um, what, let me just do this next one. And then I guess, so then I finished it and then she came running back over and I like went and grabbed cleaning stuff for her because I was a mess. And so she just dove like face first onto this thing, full body on top of it. And I was like, Oh, like, I wasn't laying in someone else's sweat. She wasn't. I was like, what are you doing? And then she like finished, popped off, set everything back and then scooted and didn't clean it. And I was like, girl, what, what kind of mess you are? The reason COVID happened? Are you, is that your name? Like what, what just happened here? So then I went over and I scrubbed the whole thing down from top to bottom. I was like, I don't know what I just encountered, but I'm sure she was jumping in everybody's sweat. So I'm going to tell gross. That's disgusting. That is my weirdness of the week to remind you, please. Even if it's not a pandemic, just wipe it down. Jeez.
Loren (23:38):
Oh my God gross. his was a really deep episode, but I like that that's real life. You know, it's not always like ha hilarious all the time. Sometimes you feel stuff and it's good to feel things.
B Mo (23:49):
