Episode Transcription

Intro/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 is that, not me. I just record audio in the closet and I never shower. brought to you by your hair Straightener, pull the front layers of your hair out from your ponytail and let her rip.

 

Loren (00:25):

Oh, I had the Chi hair straightener and I took it with me to college. And then that thing died and got a new one was never the same. There's nothing like your original hair straightener. May I just tell you? Yeah. I'm I'm yep. I'm sure. I'm sure. You know,

 

B Mo (00:37):

I have had hair for like one year now, so I have no idea.

 

Loren (00:42):

Congratulations. Uh, welcome to nonsense and nostalgia where the millennial prince and the bad-ass chick talk about life, Liberty and the pursuit of the nineties. BMO. I just started watching a show that everyone watched when I was in middle school, high school. So I missed out on it. The Sopranos. Oh, I have never. So neither had I and my husband has seen it probably seven times. I'm not exaggerating text him. And he will confirm with you. He's seen it so many times and I've seen it peripherally forever. And I always made fun of him. I'd be like, you were watching the Sopranos again. Like you've already seen this a million times. And for some reason he started watching it, like he had just finished up and like two days later he started watching it again. And I was like, you're crazy. I know he has a problem. But I said, I was like, I'm going to watch this now. And I'm obsessed. I can't stop watching. I love it. I think Carmela is terrible. I used to like her from when I was watching on the sidelines do not like her can't stand her. And, but the funniest thing that I was talking to our producer, Nick, and he was like, oh yeah, Jackie and I, his, his fiance are watching the Sopranos. And I was like, well, where, where are you at? And he goes, oh, season four, when that happens. And I was like, oh, I was like, listen, I know that it's 20 years old. Okay. But at the same time, there's still spoilers involved here. I was like, man, but I feel like I missed out on the show. I'm glad I'm giving it another shot. And I really like it.

 

B Mo (02:19):

My Big problem is I think I've said this once before, is that I never had HBO until just like the last month and a half. So I there's so many HBO shows that I have never seen that people are like, how did your not watch that? And I was like, cause we were broke, bro. Like we did. You had money for the like special pay channels. Guess who didn't me? So

 

Loren (02:42):

Well, we had, uh, the broken box. Is that what it was called? I think it was like the box that fell off the back of the truck. That is what we had in our house. So we happened to get HBO.

 

B Mo (02:54):

There were some ghetto ways that you could really cheat the system back in the day,

 

Loren (02:58):

People used to like take the cable wire and like loop it all the way through, from apartment to apartment building.

 

B Mo (03:06):

Now We're sharing like Netflix passwords, but before it was, it was work. It was, we had a guy come that just would like screw with the cable just so we could pay for like one box and have it in like 80 different roooms. Like it was ridiculous.

 

Loren (03:23):

But it's funny you say that because you literally had to know a guy, like I know I got, I got a guy it's like, I got a guy for that. And you're like, all right, cool.

 

B Mo (03:31):

You know What? Rip to all the guys, because they all are out of work and you know, what's the other one I could consistently say that I miss. And I have a friend that was, this guy is everyone had the guy that knew everything. So whatever trivia, random stuff, like you'd be like, ah, who's that guy from that movie back in the day. And they were like, oh yeah, save the last dance and blah, blah, blah, blah, like would give you would give you all the details. And I'd be like, man, you're, you're insane. You're like an encyclopedia. This is crazy. Now. It's just like, who was that? Hold on, let me Google it. So like, yeah. I'm sorry to those people that now just are regular people.

 

Loren (04:10):

Those guys only exist on who wants to be a millionaire when you can phone a friend, that's it? Yes. That is really it. And do you remember, we are really going like all over here, but do you remember when, who wants to be millionaire first came out and it was that limited edition series with Regis Philbin. That was huge. Like everyone was like, oh, you're watching. Who wants to be millionaire? Do you really think they're going to be a millionaire? You think they're going to win? Like it was nuts. It

 

B Mo (04:39):

Was w w I religiously watched it. Me and my mom thought we were smart as hell,

 

Loren (04:45):

Like the first four questions. And then you get, you know, you reached like $25,000 and you're like, Ooh,

 

B Mo (04:50):

It was funny because like, obviously I was younger. I'd have to tap out at like question six or something. I'd be like, all right, I've maxed my knowledge here. This is, this is beyond me. But then when my mom would answer like question like 10 and 11, I'd be like, wow, my mom fricking Brilliant.

 

Loren (05:06):

Yeah. My mom needs to audition for this show. And then

 

B Mo (05:09):

We'd watch jeopardy and she'd get like free. Right. And I'd be like, nah, you dumb as S.

 

Loren (05:15):

Oh my God. It's so true. Jeopardy watching jeopardy is off thing for sure. Like, we haven't really watched it since Alex Tribec passed away. But I remember, um, when we moved from Massachusetts to New Jersey, we spent two weeks with my in-laws in New York. And it was like really cute because after dinner, every single night, we would just sit together and watch jeopardy. And I loved it.

 

B Mo (05:40):

Jeopardy is a different thing. And because I don't know anything every time I get one. Right. I feel like I'm a God dude. I know

 

Loren (05:48):

I say to my husband all the time, cause he's pretty decent at jeopardy. And I say to him,

 

B Mo (05:53):

I know, be that person that would be randomly good jeopardy.

 

Loren (05:58):

I know, I know. I hate it. And I'm like, well, you know, I could get it if I had more time. And he's like, yes, but that's not the point of the show. And I'm like, yeah, but I could still get it. And he'd be like, yeah, I understand that Loren. But the whole point of the game we would argue. I'm like, well, I mean, I kind of am just as smart. I don't know.

 

B Mo (06:17):

I don't, I don't, I feel like you're looking at me like I'm stupid, but I, I got it.

 

Loren (06:21):

I did get it. We, you know what, um, game show we were obsessed with, but then stopped paying attention to was named that tune with Jane Krakowski and Randy Jackson.

 

Speaker 4 (06:32):

Oh, it's

 

Loren (06:34):

Really interesting. And if you work in the music industry in particular, or you just happen to have an ear for things like that, and it's just like different, they find different ways for you to guess what the song is and you have to do it quickly. It's kind of like beach shazamm, but not really. And um, oh my husband and I would play against each other all the time. And he programs music for a living and he's just a music nerd in the best way possible. So he usually could win the entire thing each time we played. But like those, those few times where he wouldn't get it and I'd be like, I BEAT YOU! oh, okay. That reminds me of the show.

 

B Mo (07:09):

We're all over the place. But I know Wayne Brady had a show that was about lyrics. Do you remember that one? And you'd be like, I love lyrics. And I like, I was pretty good at that one because I randomly, I could not tell you the name of a song. Like you could play the whole thing for me. And I'd be like, yeah, that's a song that's by someone and it's called something and I I'm so bad at it. But if you start the lyrics, I will sing the rest of the song perfectly. I just can't. I just cannot tell you the name of it.

 

Loren (07:42):

We'll Bring that back for you. I'll do my best. Um, so before we transition into bootleg cameo, I want to talk really quickly, two or three episodes ago. I think it was, I don't even know at this point we had talked about how, if you have a business that you want to advertise, we would love to have you as an advertiser on our podcast. And so I got an email from this girl named Ashley and she was like, Hey, I am in corporate communications. I've been out of work since February. And I know this is kind of strange, but I would love to advertise on your show. And she's like, I'm trying to think out of the box. I know some people do like they hire billboards or whatever. And sh yes, me too. So for two weeks, I've put off talking, sending her an email, you know, I just like completely forget. And so just before you and I sat down to record this podcast, I just picked up the phone and called her and I was like, Hey, do you, we're not going to like charge you for this. Like, I would love to talk about you on our podcast. I think this is such an innovative thing that you're doing. And she told me that one hour before I called, she got a job offer. How cool is that! I know, I know. So it made me so happy and it was like the nicest conversation she is from Mustang, Oklahoma. She's got like a little draw to her and it's so cool. And she's so nice. And she found nonsense and nostalgia because she follows you on Twitter.

 

B Mo (09:13):

Oh, so she's the one, like no one funny to be someone that has a million followers on tick-tock has like 120 something on Instagram. And I have like six on Twitter. Yeah.

 

Loren (09:27):

I feel you. But it was so sweet. I thought it was so innovative and so cool. So I just wanted to say like congratulations to Ashley, her phone call literally made my day. Um, I love that she's thinking out of the box. And like we said before, if you want to advertise on our podcasts, there's one opportunity that you and I have kind of talked about BMO, I think would be a really cool way to advertise. So, um, send us an email. Uh, we're very easy to reach. Just find us on social media at L O R E N R a Y E and at BMO, the prince. Um, and, uh, we'll, we'll talk about

 

B Mo (10:00):

We like money just like The next guy.

 

Loren (10:04):

Yes. I'm a big fan of money. I need some right now. I actually just had to reapply for unemployment. So anyway, not fun. All right. So bootleg cameo, uh, this week, I want you to be nineties icon, bill Clinton. maybe talking to Ashley with her Oklahoma draw that she had. I don't know. Maybe it sparked

 

B Mo (10:31):

So Funny to me just because like, cause I used to always just constantly me and my, uh, friend, John used to for no reason at all, just always break into bill Clinton and just be like, I did not have sexual relations with that woman. We just always did it. So let's see. I literally, I only did it with that sentence. So I don't know how the rest of this will go, but I have faith I'm stupid. Anyway. Um, I just want to give a shout out to loud mouth moose. They said this podcast that on earth smile, darkest secrets, including some of them that should probably have stayed buried about my poor fashion sense. And childhood shenanigans. It's like a conversation with my friends, all the Oman God. Yes. Pointing. I love that you have, oh my God. Yes. Moments. And I'm very happy that you're a fan of this podcast, loud mouth moose. So thank you. And we appreciate you. And just so you know, I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

 

Loren (11:48):

Oh dude, that might've been one of your top five. I think that you've ever, done

 

B Mo (11:55):

That was really good. I can't wait to, to just continue doing this to Sarah.

 

Loren (12:00):

Oh God. I'm so sorry Sarah. Matt does it to me all the time with the Godfather's talking to me and I'm like, oh, or no scarf it, no, it's not. It's Scarface.

 

B Mo (12:12):

I do the godfather to, I am the godfather to three different children. And you better believe every time, like none of them are old enough to understand or have seen the godfather except for maybe my oldest niece, but I'm always like, huh. And they're like, what are you doing? Stop doing this to my child. Be like, listen that one day I will come to them for a favor. Oh man. Anyway. All right. Moving right along. Yeah. I would like you to be, um, a Hocus Pocus. Which of your choosing?

 

Loren (12:50):

All right. Ready to go. You

 

B Mo (12:52):

Were real jazzed and confident about this one.

 

Loren (12:55):

Yeah. Well, I don't know how it's to get good. It's going to sound, but it sounds good in my head. SISTAHS! It's time to think she wrote in her review. Most people want to Morgan Freeman narrating their lives, but I want Loren now give me the blood, or a virgin, how'd that go? Oh yeah. That's what they do.

 

B Mo (13:44):

I was completely not ready!

 

Loren (13:53):

Such a fan of that movie, man.

 

B Mo (13:53):

That was, that was an excellent, that was an excellent session of bootleg Cameo.

 

Loren (13:53):

Yeah. I appreciate that. I agree with you. I think this was really good. One of our stronger segments,

 

B Mo (13:57):

I can not wait to listen back to this over and over again. My cheeks are,

 

Loren (14:04):

By the way. I think it's so embarrassing when I'm listening to our podcast and my husband walks in and he's like, what are you listening to? I'm like, I'm my own podcast. Just to listen to how good it is. You know,

 

B Mo (14:15):

I'd just like to hear how excellent we are. I want to feel the fan experience. You know, I just We're up here being superstars And we want to see what it's like to be like the regular people and just

 

Loren (14:26):

Listen. Yeah, that's it. Uh, okay. So when I was single, I didn't do this very often, but I'm definitely guilty. Hello. [inaudible]

 

B Mo (14:37):

Uh, did you just discover the mowers? Oh, he's so cute. Zazu!

 

Loren (14:43):

You have landscapers.

 

B Mo (14:44):

Yeah. That's it there. They literally doing it right now.

 

Loren (14:48):

That's very loud. It's good for podcasting.

 

B Mo (14:52):

It's excellent. They literally just hit the window right next to where? That Zazu? Come here.

 

Loren (15:01):

Oh, he's so cute. Uh, let's plug Zazu's Instagram, by the way. Cause it's adorable.

 

B Mo (15:05):

Uh, please go follow Zazu. Underscore the doggy dog.

 

Loren (15:13):

I'm into him. He's sweet.

 

B Mo (15:14):

He's a needy little bugger though.

 

Loren (15:16):

So Zazu before you interrupted. Like I was saying, uh, when I was single, I'm not guilty of doing this all the time, but I definitely dated people for selfish reasons. So for example, there was a guy that I dated who worked for Showtime and he was able to get screeners of the show Dexter, like before Dexter got released. And so he would send them and I was like, this is great. So that's one of the reasons that I stayed around with him way too long, because on our first date, he put his hand on the small of my back and it was creepy, but I stayed around anyway because I needed those dexterity. Wait, I just want to be really clear and clarify something. I was the oldest Virgin in the world. Like I wasn't sleeping with someone to get Dexter DVDs. Okay. Like I have self-respect but I just dated this person for way longer than I should.

 

B Mo (16:11):

That's fair. That's fair. I don't know. Just clarify. I don't know if my morals would be the same if they had, if they had DVDs of something, I'd want to be like, all right, listen, uh, it just feels like it's going to be pretty transactional, but like, I, I want those DVDs. So what, what would I do?

 

Loren (16:24):

It's okay. Yeah. And then I also dated another guy for way too long because he was from New Zealand and had the hottest accent I have ever experienced in my entire life.

 

B Mo (16:35):

I Dated a girl strictly because she knew sports.

 

Speaker 5 (16:40):

Oh. Like I literally

 

B Mo (16:42):

Was like, oh, this girl also knows sports and is into the, all the sporting things. This'll be great. It'll be like the best of both worlds. And then it was the worst.

 

Loren (16:52):

Yeah. These people were not right for either one of us. That's for sure.

 

B Mo (16:57):

And after that I kept everyone would be like, oh, well I met this girl. She's like in the sports world. And I'd be like, go the other way, leave immediately. It's going to be terrible. But yeah, it was, it was not a good choice, but like I literally thought that it was going to be the best thing ever, just because like, oh, we're both so into sports. It'd be great. I don't think I've dated anyone else for any other reason than to be like, Hey, you seem cool enough. Want to want to hang out

 

Loren (17:23):

Yeah. I mean, they started that way and then I'd be like, oh, you do screeners for Showtime. That's that's really cool. You know, I love Dexter. We should talk about that the next time. Yeah.

 

B Mo (17:35):

Actually there was one girl I dated, I had met her dad like a few times. And then finally she was like, you know, because of you, my dad like stopped being racist. He was pretty racist. But now he like, he like will defend. And I was like, first of all, did you not tell me this? Before I met him, that was such an aggressive start. But then after the fact, um, he like went out of his way to try and like be pals. And you could tell he was like kind of making up for it. And he got us like super expensive Celtics tickets. And like, we went in like a limo and blah, blah, blah. And he kept buying me, buying us tickets to Celtics games during their 2008 championship run. So I did ride that out a little longer than I, I knew I should have, because I was like, oh, I'm going to these games. Then

 

Loren (18:22):

That's fair. We all do it. As long as we end up with the right people in the end, that's what's most important.

 

B Mo (18:28):

Unfortunately, I ended up with Sarah. So, you know, she don't listen.

 

Loren (18:36):

I would hope she listens. My husband listens every week. Thankfully. Although sometimes I'm like, oh, you heard me say that? Huh? Um, so closing out, oh, it was as he was back closing out with weirdness of the week or weirdo of the week, I'm going to give it to myself, but as a kid. So I don't know why this popped into my head the other day, but I used to do this really F'd thing. And I used to, like, I vividly remember sitting in my parents' bedroom, listen to this. I would stare into the upper corner of the ceiling. And I would be like, what if I wasn't here? What if my mom was never born? What if my grandma was never born? And I would literally bring it back so far down in our lineage to like Oregon trail times, I'd be like, what if I just didn't exist? Like I got creepy existential when I was little.

 

B Mo (19:31):

Yeah. I still like to this day, it's weird because I'll be like, why am I here? Like what's what am I doing? Like what is, and all of a sudden you get into this world where there is literally no answer. And you're just like, ah, it's insane. I do it. I do it fairly often. Like I have a weird brain that does that fairly often.

 

Loren (19:52):

Yo you know what though? Your brain is not alone. Mine's right there with you. And I'm glad that we we've discovered a lot of this. You know, that we're really, we're kind of screwed up, but like in a harmless way,

 

B Mo (20:02):

You know, what's the one that really gets me all the time is what is at the end of everything all the time. I'll be like, I'll be like, okay, so you go this far. There's this universe. That one, that one, that one, that one, that one then. But like, what is what, like that ends? Where, what is there? Is there like, like what is that where like, God's at like, what's going on? Like, what is, what is

 

Loren (20:28):

I'm never going to be able to sleep tonight? I hate space. Like I think you're talking about like literally the universe and stuff like that. I hate space. I can't, if you listened to the TJ show, you knew I, every time TJ would bring up space, I was like, I don't care. I think it's worthless. I don't want to put money toward it. There's probably a lot of in it. I don't, you know, but I hate it. I can't stand it. Maybe that's why maybe because I feel like I will fall into some creepy, weird abyss and then I can't deal with it.

 

B Mo (20:56):

Well, I love space and I have fallen into that problem very often. Especially if you watch like space movies, and then you're like, oh, what if now that I'm thinking about it? So you mean, if there was no star, which was the sun, then it would just be straight darkness. Like that's terrifying. Like why is then why are the stars like it's, it's insane.

 

Loren (21:16):

Good luck To you listening, getting some sleep tonight because it's going to be a real bitch for you. I can tell you right now, it's going to be really difficult. Oh my God.
