Crumpit, or will they soften his stance against Christmas and grow his heart three sizes? Grab your hot cocoa and cozy slippers and listen along to find out!

He’s tried to be tolerant, but the Grinch just about had it with the residents of Whoville, and he’ll tell you exactly why (1:13). He hits peak crabbiness before welcoming tonight’s guest, actor Patton Oswalt (8:57)! Patton loves comic books, so Grinch just has to ask: Does Patton Oswalt consider the Grinch a villain? Things might get tense.

They’re really letting him do more episodes? Grinch unpacks why he loathes ALL holidays (1:20). It’s not just Christmas that’s a problem, honey! After that, it’s time to prank call some local Whoville residents (8:18) before we haul out tonight’s guests: “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk and his daughter Erin Odenkirk, co-authors of a book of children's rhymes (14:46). Wonder where they got that idea?
