What are the origins of Mr. Mops?
Okay. And Mr. Mops sells stuff other than mops?
It doesn't sell any mops.
Yeah. They sell no mops, which is really a false advertising.
They should be sued.
The only mop you're going to find there is probably in the supply closet.
And Devin's hair is a little mop toppy, I would say. The guy who owns it, who is a friend of ours from back in the day.
Well, you still haven't said anything about what Mr. Mops is, but sure. It's a toy store. Okay.
It's a wonderful Berkeley institution that's been around for like 50 years.
I bet if you went in there and you were like, hey, do you sell mops? And they were like, no, sorry. And then you open the supply closet and you said, how much?
Name your price. And we could grease some palms and get some mops. Now in Berkeley, if you want a mop, you go to a place called Toy Masters, right? Correct. Correct. That's classic Berkeley stuff. It's like Iceland, Greenland. You got to throw people off the scent. It's classic Iceland, Greenland. Happy holidays, you guys. Happy holidays to you, Seth Lee. We should clarify the reason that Akiva is not here today is that, due to a mix-up, he thought he was picking up Jorm in Finland. He did. I didn't tell him. I didn't tell him. But ketos to Akiva for trying so hard. And apologies, I guess. Andeksi. I'm sorry. Happy holidays to you guys. Happy holidays to Akiva. We look forward to getting him back. Happy holidays to our listeners.
And did you gentlemen listen to the previous pod? You weren't on it. I sure did. It was a treat. I loved it.
Yeah. Loved it. I guess I should start out on behalf of the three of us that weren't on by saying our collective thanks to Mike and to Jake, Tapper and Shur, respectively. Yes. For participating, as well as Sepinwall for chiming in. I texted Mike afterwards, after I listened to it, and told him it was actually really life-affirming to listen to. There's people other than us four that like these?
Yeah. I was blown away at how, one, nice they were about it. But also, Mike is a Harvard guy. Correct me if I'm wrong. Yes? Famously. Famously a Harvard guy. Just the most eloquent, succinct, like the way I speak, but like a little bit better. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so the generosity plus that to me was like, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.
I mean, on the flip side, Jost also a Harvard guy. Yes. So it doesn't really mean much.
Yeah, sweet brain. Tapper, by the way, Dartmouth, which is why he sounded like a fucking caveman. Yeah, a lot of grunts, a lot of grunting.
Tapper did seem like he had that Jorm in Finland mic.
Hey, this is not a Modern SNL rewatch podcast. I will say the holiday joke swap between Che and Jost this year was really something to see. They were going hard. I had a dumb grin on my face the whole time. I felt as though I was also falling off a building.
Yeah, and it stressed me out a little bit. I felt like Jost really got the worst side of it this year.
I texted them together and said, that was incredible. That was the most incredible six minutes of television. And both of them wrote back in a way that made it clear they were haunted by the experience. It wasn't, it wasn't ha ha. Yeah, man. How rad was that? Joe said, my heart is still pounding. And it was a full day and a half later.
Yeah. I mean, look, I don't want to like rank them, but it wasn't my all time favorite one of those, but they're always thrilling.
While we're coming off of, you know, people ranking our stuff, so rank away, I'd say.
I mean, look, life is a listicle.
Who's the top 10? Some things that people said in the very brief early YouTube comments about the Criterion episode is that, one, not only am I failing to stop saying I should note, both Shur and Tapper say it a ton, too. So it was a real, it was really devastating.
