He's He's quietly jigsaw, I think. Okay. Because we start, and he's not, like, when we fight about his origins, nothing special just ended up in Whoville. Yeah, sure. Which is in a snowflake, I guess, apparently. That's a weird, like men in black, the universe is in a marble thing.

Sure, guys. I mean, it looks like... Your whole universe is in a snowflake, you lib-tard. I'm going to drink your little tears. Well, I go back to fucking Donald Sutherland and fucking Animal House. In your cuticle, it could be a whole universe. Oh, yeah, exactly. Would anybody like to smoke some pot?

Exactly. Nice butt cheeks in that movie. Oh, Donald Sutherland is the Grinch back of the day in the 70s. Oh, a 70s Grinch? Yes. Would any who like to smoke some pot? He's driving a hard top Cadillac? Seventies, real life fucking Grinch?

I don't know. I'm liking this idea. I love this idea. I mean, the special effects of the costuming or whatever would look so horrible. He looked like fucking West Craven Swamp thing costume, dude. Peter Boyle is the mayor of Ville. Come on out, Grinch. We're going to burn your life.

Cut the bullshit, Grinch. Just cut the bullshit. Yes, this is a Lou Who, and I'm here to correct the record. Oh, fuck, dude. He just starts taking out residents of Who? Instead of inside a snowflake, it's inside just a small particle of cocaine. Yes, perfect. Sitting on Harvey Kitell's finger.

No, that's exactly. That's what it's a, it's the Grinch. 1970s. Maybe he's green. It's Donald Sutherland, but instead of stealing Christmas, he steals all their cocaine. And they all have to come after and him get him. And instead of directed by Ron Howard, directed by Martin Scorsese,

yes, love it. Absolutely loving it. See that fucking Grinch up there? That motherfucking Grinch is up there with my wife. Now that I would watch. All of the whos and Hooville are going to be a little bit sober tonight. And he's just going all the way through.

Is it helicopter following this? I saw it early today. The Grinch is sitting in his little cave listening to the Rolling Stones. Oh, you're a rich man. Mr. Grinch. You're gonna sell this Coke? Way more interesting.

Oh, absolutely. Also, here's the biggest fuck you about this movie. It's like, this movie's like an hour and 45 minutes. The first hour, fucking nothing to do with stealing. Christmas. Yes. I mean, like, well, that's the thing.

It's a fucking 40-page Christmas children's book with like 80 to 90 words in it. 25-minute movie. Yeah, yeah.

25 minutes. Guys, everything done. The cartoon from the original cartoon. 25 minutes. They somehow built this whole fucking thing to add on to 25 minutes

that I could not care about. Well, it's like, it's one of the things you mentioned already. They fucking tell his like a little Oswald Cobble Pot story. Jesus.

Oh, my God. dejected by society and he's like raised by these two old ladies or whatever I like that's a little progressive you know they're living together it's very implied that they're a lesbian couple to me oh is it they're living together uh I lived with you yeah well I mean you know he's dressed like um a little Eddie Munster oh so do we do it so the thing is disturbing I mean yeah we don't start there no sorry we don't we start with we were meeting everyone in Whoville narrated by Anthony Hopkins by the way.

Here's a fan theory. When Anthony Hopkins does shit, it's Tony Hopkins. Oh, he's having, yeah, because he's like fun on the sets. It's like,

yeah, it's me, Tony. It's like the dark half. Oh, no. Tony is going to have to do that voice. Hold on.

Hold on. I'm summoning Tony. To negotiate about Transformers the last night. Michael, Michael Vake comes to his house. Anthony, can I speak to Tony?

You want to speak to Tony. Is Tony? in there? Anthony, listen, it's very imperative. I need to speak with Tony. Thank you.
