Hey grownups! Mindy here from Wow and the World, and today we have a special holiday treat for you.
The Grinch is back again to ruin your Christmas season with Tis the Grinch holiday podcast.
After last year, he's no stranger to the spotlight, and it turns out he might even love the limelight.
Huh, that kind of reminds me of a certain nosy neighbor we know, right, Reg?
Anywho, the Grinch has learned a thing or two about hosting, and he's ready to rant against Christmas cheer and roast his celebrity guests like chestnuts on an open fire.
This podcast is perfect for the 9 year olds and up in your life.
Tune in as a family, as guest stars like Jon Hamm, Brittany Broski, and Danny DeVito try to persuade the mean old Grinch that there's more to love about the holiday season.
So grab your hot cocoa and cozy slippers to find out if the Grinch's heart will triple this season.
Grownups, I'm about to play a clip from the Tis the Grinch holiday podcast.

And we're out. First step of the season in the can.
Ah, there's more social interaction than I've had in one, two, three, gotta be 12 months.
I gotta get out of this suit.
Max, help me with this tie.
I did a Windsor knot.
Thanks Maxie. Now let's get a snack.
I am starving. What'd you think of that interview?
Am I best yet? I agree.
Great season premiere, Mr.
Grinch, but I still really need to talk to you.
It's an emergency. Cindy, surely you did not just chase me down the hall and follow me into my private kitchen.
It's called boundary.
I'm sorry, Mr. Grinch.
I know you're very private about your home, but we have a very serious problem.
Turn on the news. Breaking news.
Letters to Santa have gone missing.
Postal Service is reporting thousands of children's letters to Santa.
I'm missing. They've simply disappeared.
Who could have done this?
Police are speculating.
All signs point the one there son, the Grinch.
Police are still in this.
See Mr. Grinch, all the towns letters to Santa have gone missing.
Someone stole them and every who in Whoville thinks it was you.
Cindy Hunt, dial it down a notch, okay?
Tabloid rumors are just part of the game.
When you're the it girl of the podcasting biz, okay?
Call me daddy. Am I right?
Cindy, have a seat.
You like my kitchen table?
I carved it out of a dead Christmas tree.
Here, have a waffle.
With me now are the only known witnesses to this heinous crime.
These local siblings spotted a shadowy figure hauling a wheelbarrow of letters away from Santa's mailbox, leaving behind just one thing, a footprint.
Tell us what you saw, you two.
That's right, Mrs. News Anchor.
Lady, the thief moved quickly but we saw the footprint before it got covered with fresh snow.
Yeah, we'd know that shape anywhere.
It was a rich bunch.
There you have it. It seems Whoville's resident holiday hater is up to his old tricks, determined to yet again ruin Christmas for the whole town with his latest Grinchy Grit.
Back to you, Landers noob.
Regiculous! I did my time for the whole stealing Christmas thing.
And since then, I've been nothing but a stand -up citizen.
Although I do have to sit down from time to time, but that's because I have knee problems.
They're saying you have a motive.
You hate Christmas.
Yeah, like that's a hot tank.
You've got a record.
A guy steals Christmas one time in a book, a TV special, a stage musical, and two critically acclaimed movies, and it follows him around forever.
And they're saying nobody else in Whoville is morally capable of such a dastardly act, but you, you know.
Yeah, come on, spit it out, Cindy.
They're saying you have less of a conscience because your heart is two sizes too small.
There, I said it. I don't believe it, but I said it.
How dare they use my biggest insecurity against me?
That's something I would do.
And around the holidays, no less.
What monsters? I'm out of my stealing era and into my hashtag healing era.
Whatever happened to Innocent Until Proven Guilty?
Ahh! Max, you genius.
Podcast, Missing Letters to Santa, Innocent Until Proven Guilty, Rice Krispies Cereal.
Max! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Oh, you got to go potty?
Copy that. Well, after that's done, let's do this.
Let's launch our very own True Crime Investigation Podcast Parody Recurring Segment.
Cindy, cancel the jugglers.
We were going to do this juggling thing at the end of every show, but we're ditching it.
Instead, at the end of every episode, we will devote all the time we need.
You have five minutes.
We will devote five minutes to investigating this mysterious crime and clearing my name in time for Christmas.
I don't care if all you mudge kids get your presents, but I will not be falsely accused and unduly punished.
Max, we better practice our True Crime Podcastor Voices.
Woof, woof. Stay tuned to hear what happens when the devilishly handsome number one suspect in a crime against Christmas goes on a mission to uncover the truth on his terms.
All while eating a bowl of cereal.
Well, that's tonight's show.
