'Tis The Grinch Holiday Podcast

There’s nothing the Grinch loves more than a little constructive criticism so this week he takes a peek at the comment section of this very podcast. You can imagine how that goes! [5:45]. Here’s a tip: Say he’s gorgeous or say nothing at all! Then Hallelujah!, it’s time for a visit from superstar singer Tori Kelly [9:17] before Grinch dives back into the missing mail investigation [18:32]. There’s always been something sneaky about those Whodini twins…

Reading Your Scathing Reviews! with Tori Kelly | 6

He did it last year and he’s doing it again: Prank calls are back, baby [3:55]! Not that we’re giving a thumbs-up to prank calls — it’s only cool when Grinch does it - and even then they usually blow up in his furry green face! Speaking of cool, Grinch conducts a slam dunk interview with NBA All-Star DeAndre Jordan [6:56]! Then, a pivotal turn in the case of the missing letters to Santa [20:35]. Let’s just say if there’s one source we can always trust… it’s Max’s nose.

Dunkin’ On Christmas Cards! with DeAndre Jordan | 7

Grinch is disturbed to learn that not all of his listeners spend the season in freezing cold weather [2:52], but hey, not everyone is blessed enough to live on a snowflake. (That’s where Whoville is located, try to keep up with the lore!) Then, Nick Kroll from the new Christmas blockbuster, Red One [7:52] drops by for a heart to heart about the holidays. Once he’s gone, the missing letters mystery sends Grinch, Max and Cindy Lou to the most horrible place of all: The North Pole [18:06]!

Playin’ Smooth, Smooth Jazz! with Nick Kroll | 8

Grinch is over Secret Santa gift exchanges [2:54] — the only gift he wants is NO CHRISTMAS! Then, some very good luck: Fortune Feimster is here [6:40]! There’s a lot of talk of wienerschnitzel, but she didn’t bring a single hot dog for Max. Rude! She leaves just before the Whoville police show up, ready to arrest Grinch for a crime he didn’t commit [16:17]. Ugh, why are the holidays always so stressful?!

Secret Santa Stinks! with Fortune Feimster | 9

Christmas is almost here (ugh)… which means it’s almost OVER! (Yay!) The weather outside is frightful, but you’ll warm right up with a fresh batch of the Grinch’s scalding-hot Holiday hot takes [2:22]! Then, the only A-Lister with better hair than the Grinch, the legendary John Stamos makes it a full house atop Mt. Crumpit [6:40]. And finally, just in time for Christmas Eve, it’s the thrilling conclusion of the missing letters mystery [21:20]. The culprit has been nabbed, but if the mail never made it to Santa, how will he deliver Whoville’s presents? It’s up to the Grinch to save Christmas! Talk about a redemption arc!

Holiday Hot Takes! with Hollywood Hottie John Stamos | 10

So, the case of Whoville’s missing letters to Santa… isn’t going great. It’s not that Cindy Lou doesn’t believe in the Grinch’s investigative abilities, but she’s pretty sure he could use some help behind-the-scenes. That’s why she’s launching her own underground broadcast, Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who to follow up on clues without Grinch even knowing! Her first priority: Get that Mailman to cooperate!

Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Mailman | 4

Cindy and Max receive a tip that the Whodini Twins like to hang out at WhoCB, a comedy club in downtown Whoville. Maybe they can corner that sneaky duo and figure out the facts! They’re not around, but after a frustrating back-and-forth with two improv comedians, who will definitely become famous and should not get day jobs, Cindy and Max get the address to their magically-hidden home. Now they just have to make Grinch think he found it himself.

Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Call | 5

Cindy receives a mysterious (and slightly tacky) delivery: A strange, puzzling cuckoo clock. Could it be a clue? Maybe something that helps determine where that missing letter came from — and where the rest are still hidden?! A hidden riddle might hold the answer, if Cindy can just figure out what it’s trying to say…

Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Clock | 6

With the cuckoo clock riddle partially-solved, Cindy and Max sneak out for a trip to the Whoville Penitentiary. Yes, Whoville has a prison! Can T-Bone, a criminal elf cast out of Santa’s workshop, give Cindy and Max any more clues… or is this a dead end in the investigation?

Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Prisoner | 7

Cindy’s up at the North Pole with no idea that Grinch and Max are getting run out of town by wild gingerbread soldiers. That is, until she sees them flee! She grabs ahold of Max in time to discover that he made a secret recording… that just might prove to the world that Postmaster Glee is the true villain of this year’s Christmas caper!

Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Confession | 8

This week’s advent calendar gift is perfect for warding off intruders (2:35). Like, for example, a green guy dead-set on stealing the whole holiday… actually, don’t buy this thing, you don’t need it. Then, an exposé from inside the Federal Elf Protection Program (3:54) before the Grinch welcomes tonight’s guest, Meghan Trainor (7:53)! She is far too charismatic for this cave.
