About this episode

The Grinch shares holiday opinions and interviews 5 Seconds of Summer about their new album.

The Grinch has some holiday HOT TAKES to end the season. Two off the top of his very green head. First, absolutely no jacked Santa Clauses. Ripped J. K. Simmons, GET OUT OF HERE. Second, and this one might be mild depending on who you ask, Thanksgiving music is superior to Christmas music. Name your top ten right now. Speaking of music, Australian boy band 5 Seconds of Summer drops by to talk about their latest album Everyone’s a Star , and no, they are not referring to whatever is jammed on top of your tree. The Grinch also learns a shocking amount about his favorite marsupial, the kangaroo. And then finally, the event everyone’s been waiting for… Grinch-A-Palooza has arrived.
