Chapter 1: 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?

Chapter 2: Why is Akiva not on this episode?
Yeah, it was. It was West Village-y. And they just had cool shit and the vibe was right.
Was it VHSs? Were you guys getting VHSs or DVDs? Yeah, VHSs and then DVDs. When I first moved to New York, it was a lot of VHSs. And there was a time it was hard to find British crime dramas.
Yeah. You know what I would describe it as, Jorm? This is in like a pre-streaming era. Kim's video was like the New York film and TV equivalent of Amoeba Music. Okay. I mean, that's how I pictured it. Where you go in and everyone is cool and knows their shit and they have like obscure stuff and it's just a good vibe.
Did you feel, because when I was six years old, my dad took me to Telegraph Avenue, which is where all the cool stuff is, which is where Amoeba was, which is where Rasputin's was. And Rasputin's back in the day was like fucking punk. It was super punk. Not anymore.
Rasputin's is also a music store.
yes and i went in to buy thriller my dad didn't want to park so i was given money as a six-year-old to go buy thriller and i got thriller as an lp and i put it on the shelf and it was a straight up like london punk crazy mohawk like just tatted up and i just remember his face looking at me being like this and i and i knew what i was buying wasn't cool he was just like this kid
I will say it really requires hardcore punk to not be at least entertained by the fact a six-year-old was buying his own album. Oh, he was so, he hated it. Because it seems like that guy says, this is fucking kid stuff all the time. But do you say it to an actual kid? I guess the question. If you're hardcore punk.
Also, when you're six, that guy easily could have been 14 years old.
Yeah. You know what I mean? Right. But was Kim's video that cool? Where the people who work there, are they just nerds?

Chapter 3: What was the response to the previous podcast?
So I think that is very positive feedback from you guys on that.
I mean, it depends how long the pod runs. If we start getting a little threadbare, I might, you know, round up some Palm Springs buds and do it. I'd love to talk to some Palm Springs buds. I think it's well down the road, though, if it comes to that. We are focusing on Lonely Island-centric things.
How do you decide who sings raps which parts? I'm sorry, what? How do you split up the parts in a three-part song?
Oh, I see. Well, we all write our own parts, and then we choose what we like of each other's, usually.
Yeah, and then we kind of build the song as we go forward with it.
And in more rare occasions, we will write parts for each other, knowing that one of us isn't there, and then have them do it.
Can I tell you my favorite evenly split Lonely Island song, which we'll get to one day? Sure. Diaper Money.
Ah, Diaper Money's a goodie.
That one's a good one because I feel like each part is pretty funny in its own specific lane.

Chapter 4: What did we think of the holiday joke swap?
Seth's card is no longer full. Three shot jocks back on the scene. I had a little technical glitch and ate up three minutes of Andy's day and he went pretty hard. To be fair, you waited 90 seconds before you started laying into me.
I'm notoriously impatient.
Another new guy. It's a new character workshop. So my whole family, while I'm doing this with you gentlemen, is horseback riding. They're making memories. See? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. There's no way that you can be like, who souffles a guy whose family is going horseback riding? He might grow up souffle-ing. That's possible. Jesus Christ. That's possible. That's what you brought it back to souffle with?
Yeah. Yeah, man. Oh, shit. Spit it out, dude.
I was just going to say, though, I'm so relieved that I'm here. Right, yeah. You know, there are many things my family could be doing right now where I would feel bad that I was doing this instead, but not being on a horse right now is bringing me joy.
I mean, I think for a dude, if you get up on that horse and you're not a horseback rider person, you're coming home with either sore nards or a sore butt or both. Yeah.
Here's one. I actually weirdly don't feel like I know the answer to this, and I'm ashamed. Okay. Question on bleeping songs in the broadcast. Does the studio audience hear the unbleeped version live, even though a bleeped version goes out on air?
No. No, it has to be bleeped in studio. Of course, because it's live, so they have to hear the bleeped, yeah. We wish so badly it wasn't, but that's just the rules.
