Theme/Narration: (00:00):
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 Ray, a cool mom. What does that, not me. I just record audio in the closet. And I never showered brought to you by the Sony disc man.
Loren (00:20):
Oh, I had the blue Sony disc man, but it always skipped. It didn't matter like how slowly you were walking. Yeah.
B Mo (00:28):
You could crawl. And that sucker was skipping.
Loren (00:30):
Right. Welcome to nonsense and nostalgia where the millennial Prince and the bad-ass chick talk about life, Liberty and the pursuit of the nineties. Episode 12. Here we are. Yeah. Now we have a dozen. How lovely. Ooh. Yeah. So here's my thing. I am terribly unorganized when it comes to certain aspects of my life. If you ask my husband, he will say all aspects and that is not true. I am very good at organizing our household. That being said, my, my email is horrible. And up until maybe a week ago, I had like 13,000 emails in my inbox. It was
B Mo (01:11):
So I'm not even mad at you because I had to just pull one of my emails off my iPhone because I literally, Sarah, one day picked up my phone. She was like, huh? What is? Why do you have this many emails. Do you want me to go in and unsubscribe for you on all these? I'm like, add, just leave it.
Loren (01:31):
God, it got to be too much. I couldn't take it anymore. And so I finally I'm paying like $15 a month, but shoot me in the face. I have to cancel the subscription to, I think it's called male Strom or maelstrom, something like that, that unsubscribes everything, which is great. So I went from 13,000 to 921, which is yes, in like 24 hours. It's beautiful. Wow. So, but here's my thing. Do you know how in certain subscription services, when you unsubscribe, they say to you, like, why are you unsubscribing? This is no longer relevant to you or you've moved out of the area or right. Or I just don't want these emails anymore. I'm getting too many. I can not say you're sending me too many emails. I always have to lie. And I have to like, Oh, it's no longer relevant to me. Thank you. Anyway. Like I feel bad, which is so stupid.
B Mo (02:25):
I all the time, whenever I read those questions, I always just wish I could just write in screw you. I just don't want him. Yeah. Like a business. I just don't want them stop sending them here.
Loren (02:38):
It's too much. And it's like the worst part is that if you buy one thing online, they'll automatically sign you up for the, and you're like, I didn't ask for this. I just wanted a receipt. So screw you.
B Mo (02:49):
Yeah. Like I didn't, I didn't ask to be attacked. No, I don't want 45 more pairs of socks. I just wanted the one. I'm good to know what else I have to say really bad last
Loren (03:00):
Summer, some little, I can't say, well, you know what I'll say? It I'll bleep it out. Some little t---t decided that they were going to break in or hack whatever my target account. And I know what their mailing address is because they stupidly put in their address or someone's address to mail this stuff. They were going to buy, they tried to buy a GoPro. So anyway, um, I filed a police report. I was so, but the worst, the worst part about it was they subscribed me to over 200. I'm not joking. I would just kept getting email after email and I haven't unsubscribed since. So it just like, I hit my breaking point. And I was like, I hate these kids. I'm so mad at them. And if they hadn't subscribed me, I wouldn't have filed a police report. But I did so mad.
B Mo (03:51):
Oh my God, that, that is grounds for a bare knuckle brawl. Like you can not do that. Do it.
Loren (03:57):
We're too old. Like we're too far down the road. Now I think to change our personal emails. Right. Because I've had mine since college.
B Mo (04:05):
This is your email. Period. Until your ending ending day. This is your
Loren (04:10):
Yeah. So anyway, if you need to unsubscribe and you don't want to feel bad about it, just use maelstrom. And I guess they'll just do it for you.
B Mo (04:18):
It is terrible though. I have, I always have had a ton of emails and people always, I also have, whenever I take a picture of my laptop, I have a ton of tabs, always open and people are like, Oh, what are you doing? Why are you up? Show me the cherubs. They'll do all the time. Yeah. See that's because we're, you know, we hustlin' people, we, we hustle. We bustle with doing stuff. We can't just have one tab businesses booming. We need more than one day.
Loren (04:42):
Yeah, dude. I mean, sometimes it gets so bad where you can only see like the first four letters of whatever it is.
B Mo (04:48):
My laptop right now. It is, it's an icon and a letter like there's citizens bank. I only know that because I know the symbol, that's it?
Loren (04:58):
Oh my God. Do me a favor. I want you to look up because I was very concerned about the fact that you were not aware of this. When I texted you the other day, look up, book it by pizza hut. How did you not do this?
B Mo (05:11):
I have heard nothing of this.
Loren (05:14):
Was this a regional thing? I don't know. I grew up in Jersey. Maybe it wasn't a boss.
B Mo (05:17):
Maybe it was. And I just wasn't paying attention because I don't like books
Loren (05:23):
Me neither. That's why book It was so clutch.
B Mo (05:26):
I guess that's A fair point.
Loren (05:28):
My parents are probably like, wait a minute, she'll get food. If she eats, all right, she'll bite on this one. Like, that's just, I don't know. I'm motivated by food, but book. It was the best. And so if you never got the chance to experience it, I don't know who signed off on this. If it was like your parents or a librarian, but they're like, yeah, Loren read this book. And then when you reached X amount of books, you would get a free personal pan pizza.
B Mo (05:53):
That's a, that's a thing that is, that's big. You do that today. And I would, I would read for a week straight. If that meant I was getting some free pizzas, I would read nonstop. I don't know who would be signing off on it because now I'm old enough and smart enough to lie. But I would be reading nonstop.
Loren (06:13):
When is the last time you read a book?
B Mo (06:18):
So, so it's kind of funny that when me and Sarah had met, I was working at Boston medical center as we have discussed previously. And at the time, apparently I was an intellectual and I was like, everyday on the train into work. And on the train home, I was reading the count of Monte Cristo for whatever reason. And then one day I lost it. So early on in our relationship, she bought me another copy of the book. And she was like here. And I was like, Oh, that's so sweet. I remember seeing it and being like, I'm not going to finish this book. Like, it's weird because I am, this is false advertising. You think I'm an intellectual reading books? I, I only read books if there's pizza involved.
Loren (07:01):
Yup. Oh my God. I can't believe that. That's great. No, I haven't read a book in forever. I honestly think my last book was, um, my old boss Elvis wrote a book and I really think that was the last one. And it was well over a year ago. I actually might've been on maternity leave. Like it might've been over two years ago. I'm just not a book person.
B Mo (07:18):
The last time I was a book, quote, unquote book, person, Scholastic book, fair, baby Scholastic book fair.
Loren (07:26):
That was a fair, like, I like that. They call it a fair because I really felt like I was walking into some amusement park and I was like, Oh, and I never really bought books. I would always buy the cool chotchkies that they'd sell. Yeah. And when your parents would send you there with like cash or a check or something, Oh man, you felt like, and you were like, you can only spend $20 and you're like, I'm going to do it. You tear sh-- up.
B Mo (07:54):
[inaudible] I get a crisp 20 and I'd come dancing in there. Like P Diddy, just doing like spins and all this other nonsense. I was like, Oh, what's up? Oh homie, you need a book. You need a book fan. I got you. I got this crisp 20. All right. I didn't even do nothing to deserve this, but I'm a buy you a book today. You need a bookmark, sweetheart. I got you girl. I was a wild man. I thought I was Jay Z in the big Pimpin video, but it was all books. That was it. No girls, all books.
Loren (08:26):
God. Did you remember getting the, um, the magazine or whatever? It was like sent home beforehand. So you could look through it.
B Mo (08:37):
That was gangster because you would thumb through it, like lick your finger and just thumb through the thing.
Loren (08:42):
It was those cheap pages. Those really thin kind of like a newspaper, but kind of like a magazine, like somewhere in between.
B Mo (08:49):
Yeah. You would've thought it was a book of Rolexes you were about to buy. You were like, Hmm. Let's see. Ah, okay. Okay. I see. Good night. Moon is back. Of course. Yeah.
Loren (09:00):
The best. Seriously. My daughter's daycare had a Scholastic book fair and I was like, hell yeah. And I ran in there. No one else was there. And I was like, Oh, all right, well I'll still buy stuff anyway. So embarrassing. Like no one else is excited for this. Just me. All right. Very well. Then
B Mo (09:17):
I still go to a Scholastic book fair for adults because the books were never big books. They weren't the count of Monte Cristo. I can tell
Loren (09:23):
They were the easy, fun books
B Mo (09:26):
I'll pick up a couple of easy, fun books and read them as an adult.
Loren (09:30):
Oh, I'm with ya. Um, I have someone I want you to be for bootleg cameo. Obviously we choose some nineties icons. We thank our biggest supporters. So I want you to be Hulk, Hogan, someone. I can't find the and it breaks my heart, but she DMD me and suggested. And she was like, I know B Mo is such a big fan of wrestling. So have him be Hulk Hogan. And I was like, this is
B Mo (09:55):
Excellent. That's exactly why. When I heard Hulk Hogan, I was like, Oh, someone shooting right up my alley.
Loren (10:02):
[inaudible]
B Mo (10:04):
Well, brother, I would like to just thank all the BMO maniacs that have jumped into my Tik TOK lives. And they've all been mentioning the podcast. And I appreciate all of you that not only take the time to come spend some time with me all you B Mo maniacs in here saying thank you for the podcast. We love the podcast. You and Loren are great. I don't have specific names because I'm too blind to read the usernames when you comment. But what you're going to do when Nonsense and Nostalgia run run wild on you.
Loren (10:44):
That's great. I love it, dude. Did you ever watch his reality show with his family?
B Mo (10:53):
Did I ever, I loved that show. I watched it way more than I ever should have.
Loren (10:56):
Yes, me too. I wanted to be Brooke Hogan. And can I, here's a really embarrassing secret about myself.
B Mo (11:04):
Hold on. That Hulk Hogan voice really does a number. Okay. Yeah. I think I'm good. Okay. Let's go.
Loren (11:12):
I love Paul Wall. Yeah. Paul Ball, baby. Like the dumbest songs ever, but big fan. And when he worked with Brooke Hogan, I was like, Oh my God. Maybe I could be famous too. It was so embarrassing.
B Mo (11:30):
Do baby. It's the ice man. Paul Wall. My teeth looks something like a disco ball, like the best. Oh my God.
Loren (11:40):
So yeah, that was a great show. I was devastated when they got divorced. Like legitimately so heartbroken. Yeah.
B Mo (11:46):
Yes. I was a little devastated when I found out Hulk Hogan was a little bit racist.
Loren (11:51):
That too, actually it's a,
B Mo (11:54):
That was a weird twist, but
Loren (11:57):
That's a good point.
B Mo (11:58):
He's doing stuff. Hopefully he won't be doing racist stuff anymore. Yeah. I was a Hulkamania maniac heavy when I was a kid, especially when he was a bad, when he was a bad guy, I loved it.
Loren (12:08):
Oh, I didn't know that he, what did he switch?
B Mo (12:10):
He was a bad guy at one point. It's a whole thing. I don't need to get into it. It was a, it was a big thing for life like fulfill life. It was a whole thing. Him, Kevin Nash got hot. It was the thing. It was the thing. Don't worry about it. Anyway. So a bootleg cameo, uh, I won't make you be Hulk Hogan. I'm still joking off. Sorry. That sounds weird. Um, uh, bootleg cameo. Uh, I would like you to be from SNL. Oh, Mary Catherine Gallagher.
Loren (12:44):
Superstar! Okay. I'm just going to go down the list of some of the people that is this, not everybody, but some people who have left us really nice reviews on Apple. Yeah. Sometimes when I get nervous, I just have to stick my hands in my armpits and then I go, Superstart. So I just want to thanks a few Nicco and Sonya and broccoli and for Donna and reclaimedcollector and country that said, uh,
B Mo (13:13):
That's good enough for me. I can tell you that good comedy is a funny thing. Like the fact that people get to be that ridiculous and weird and get paid for it is just the best. Considering I dress, I dress as a, my wife's clothes with a wig and do shoot videos in my living room.
Loren (13:30):
You're wearing your gen Z shirt right now, by the way.Right.
B Mo (13:37):
I am. Which I'm afraid to wear my clothes out anymore because I'm afraid. Someone's going to be like, Oh, what are you gen Z? And I'll be like, no, I'm me in the clothes I bought to wear.
Loren (13:45):
And then there'll be like, did you want me to identify who you are? Is that why you're wearing that out? Exactly. I used to wear my AMP sweatshirts sometimes and I would be so not embarrassed about the brand. Just embarrassed that people would think that I was wearing it because I want them to recognize me.
B Mo (14:02):
Fun fact. I used to, I had one amp shirt and I wore it all the time because I did want people. I wanted somebody be like, Hey, are you that guy that I hear on the weekends? Are you amazing? And I'd be like, yeah, that is me. You want a photo?
Loren (14:17):
People'd be like, ah, no, I'm good. Thanks. Um, I have a serious addiction to ordering from Amazon that I do not, well, I was going to say, do not need. And that is not fair. Most of it is more towards the necessity side than it is the want side. But I do not remember what I order. I can tell you that.
B Mo (14:41):
So again, as I've realized episode after episode after episode of this freaking podcast that you and Sarah are like somehow linked. I don't know how, but you're mentally linked because I can't tell you how many times we have gotten mail and there'll be an, a rap at the door. When who says a rap at the door. Why did I do that? There'll be a knock at the door, rap at the door. There'll be a knock at the door and or doorbell. And all of a sudden there's a package. And I'll be like, I don't know who this for. Sometimes it'll be addressed to me and I never ordered it. And I'll immediately ask Sarah, what did you order? I didn't get anything. I know that's not me. It's for you. And I'm like, okay, sure. Yeah. And we'll open it and it'll be like a thing of socks for her or like something stupid. Oh, right. Yeah. I got that last week. I guess. It's crazy.
Loren (15:41):
All the time I do it constantly. And the worst part is that all placed an order and I'll be like, okay, great. Put my phone down and be like, ah, no, I forgot that other thing. And then I'd be like, Ooh, order forks for Sophie. And then I have to order them separately. And then literally within like three minutes of one another, it's embarrassing.
B Mo (15:59):
The worst thing, the one that drives me up Oh, wall with Sarah is there've been times where I'll be sitting about to eat or about to cook dinner or something. And I'll be like, Hey, are we out of salt? And she'll be like, Oh yay. Yeah. And I'll be like, all right, well I'm just going to run to the store and grab some salt and she'd be like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't bother. I'm just going to order it on Amazon. And when will that be here? Sarah? Is that going to be here in 15 minutes? Because I need it now. I don't need it tomorrow. She'd be like, well, why are you going to go to the store? Because I would like it tonight. Sarah,
Loren (16:32):
I'm I'm the same way. I'm like, we don't really have to go to the store. We've lived without it for a while. So we can just go another 24 to 48 hours. It's fine, dude. When I see Prime and they're like available for delivery tomorrow, I'm like, I'm so pumped about it. It's so bad.
B Mo (16:47):
It's so, and prime is great. Don't get me wrong. Time is a delight. But sometimes like you can just go to a store. And because I, I don't know why I always feel this way. I always feel bad about the thought. Like whenever I go to the grocery store and I see the self checkout and I use the self checkout all the time, I always feel bad because I'm like, Oh, I stole someone's job by doing this. I'm always like, Oh no, these people need jobs. And I don't want to just like, like buy order all my things offline.
Loren (17:15):
No, I know. Oh yeah. I don't think it's great. Like what I'm doing is not good for anyone except for Jeff Bezos. I'm fully understanding of that. Um, and also there are certain things I can care about and certain things I can't that one I got to write off. I got to find other ways to care about people and the planet and making things better. This is not one of those ways. I need to be able to say, Oh yeah, I need that click click. Cool. It's here in 12 hours. My daughter knows the Amazon delivery guys now and will be sitting outside and like they'll park in front of the house and she'll be like Amazon. And she waves. She says, hi, t.
B Mo (17:52):
That's a lot of Amazon.
Loren (17:53):
Oh yeah. A ton of Amazon. It's bad.
B Mo (17:56):
Amazon's, Amazon's a little dangerous. Cause sometimes if you get scrolling around Amazon, you definitely can fall into a hole and have a nice little, uh it's like when you go to target, like if you go inside a target, you never leave with just a couple of things. So Amazon is the internet target.
Loren (18:11):
It is. It really is. God forbid, Amazon put a dollar spot going on there, like right. When you walk in, like target does, and then I'm out. It's my kryptonite done. I'll be dead. Um, I just also want to close it out weirdness of the week I woke up the other day and I saw, I had a notification on Facebook that my ex boyfriend's mom tagged me in a post. And I was like, uh, your son is married now. And I married and have babies. So like, we can move on, but I guess what happened was she didn't do it on purpose. Like I think it was an old memory from 10 years ago and she shared it and I guess it automatically like retags who's ever initially tagged in it. It was so uncomfortable. And so we're nosy. I don't want to see this. Like I want to talk to you guys. I hope you're great, but like, that's it. I want, no, I can't do it. I don't want this.
B Mo (19:08):
Oh my God. That's so weird. That's awkward.
Loren (19:11):
It's so awkward. After he and I broke up his aunt, this was months later, his aunt accidentally made my name, her status on Facebook, which I think means that she was trying to search for me and like did the wrong thing. I was like, uh, leave, like, I'm not searching for you guys. I really don't care. I wish you well, and that's it like, leave it alone.
B Mo (19:37):
So you never like have ever searched back and be like, Oh
Loren (19:41):
I 100% have I just didn't do it. I just didn't do it like right after
B Mo (19:47):
I do sometimes enjoy doubling back and then being like, remember then, wow. What a fool, I was.
Loren (19:55):
Different version of you, right? Like so weird. It's so weird. My, we, we need to get into this because you had talked one time about how like your ex-girlfriend broke up with or slapped you on your birthday,
B Mo (20:08):
Clean cold to me right in the nose. Yeah.
Loren (20:12):
And I broke up with that guy on his birthday. So we, I think we should dedicate like a full episode to like RIP our ex life because like then he's the nicest guy in the world truly like sweetest kid. So lovely. And I wish him and his wife is beautiful from what I've googled. Um, no, like I really wish that, well, it was just the wrong place for me to be at that time, you know?
B Mo (20:39):
Uh, we should, it'll be like a roll call of the different versions of us that those people had to date. Yes. Because I can assure you if was dating, uh, like 21, 22, 23 year old me. Oh, she probably would've sucker punched me in the nose too.
Loren (20:56):
Oh my God. I love this. We will do that. That is good. We're going to put that are on our agenda. This was super fun. Uh, as always, thank you for listening. Thank you for rating. Reviewing, subscribing telling your friends, please DM us comment on BMO's tick-tock comment on our Instagram on Twitter, all that good stuff. We're easy to find at B M O the Prince and at L O R E N R A Y E, I know, my parents spelled my name weird. That was not my choice. Everyone's like, dude, spell that to be different. I'm like, Nope. That's how my parents legally found my name. Thank you. Uh, yeah. So we'll see you next week.
