Summary

The Grinch knows he’s one of the last true one-name icons. Adele. Beyoncé. Grinch. But people with three names—first, middle, and last? Pick a lane, bro! Then, Ben Schwartz drops by to talk Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Grinch has thoughts for a reboot of his own. (Spoiler: it involves strapping a real hedgehog to a nitrous rocket.) Later, the Grinch hunts for a security squad to keep the Grinch-a-palooza mosh pit festive, feral, and juuuust shy of criminal.
