There’s something called a belt box for singers, where you can sing (or yell) into it and it muffles your voice a lot. Could be useful here 😂

For the sports one I’m definitely going for soccer. Immediately I run up to the opposing teams star player and absolutely rock them with a punch to the jaw. I’m ejected from the game with a red card and hopefully their best player is too. Net positive for the team

About the "oh god I'm going to grinch" one.......I have zero interest in sex or masturbation so it's just a win for me 😎 up until I do have sex with someone years from now and totally forgot about that side effect and have an extremely strange time

So as someone who has broken her arm before and like had to have surgery and still like has pain to this day, there’s no way I do it unless I know who the celebrity is. There are a select few I would let break my other arm (idk how they’d break the arm that’s got screws and 2 rods in it)… Like Taylor Swift or like David Tennant- hell yes. But like Tom Selleck? Hell no.

listening to murph describe a cat saying “oh hey it’s the grinch” to you alone sent genuine shivers down my spine and tears of fear in my eyes that sounds like a nightmare he’ll

hobblelobble · June 2, 2025

I’m a little concerned if I shout “Oh my god I’m gonna grinch” every time I jizz that it would become pavlovian and I’d have a really tough december around family members…

P
Pinstripe · July 5, 2024

I’d probably go to a friend like this “hey so let me show you something” Then go into a room alone with my dog, yell out “hey yell something back then leave the house!” So I have something impossible to replicate before they hear “hey look it’s the grinch” on the recording Then I’d explain what happening and do as many tests as it took before they believed me

The last one is terrifying

W
Winterbat · April 22, 2024

If given the chance, I would try playing hockey if given the chance, even though I’ve never played it before on ice. Something like American football absolutely not. Doesn’t interest me enough. Rugby? Absolutely not. I think I would get injured for life somehow. Lacrosse I would give a try too.

N
Nikolaus Cox · April 19, 2024

Look, it depends on the celebrity. If it's Justin Bieber breaking my arm, I'm staying home. I am too apathetic towards his work for it to make a worthwhile memory that he was the one who broke my arm. It comes down to how much I like the A-Lister I'm partying with. If it's Taylor Swift I'm there. One hundred percent. Because the implication is that I was partying so hard with someone whose work and craft I really admire that they broke my arm: this means we were having a good time as friends leading up to the injury, and that's what counts for me. It doesn't sound like I'm just out with my regular friends, the celebrity runs out of a back alley, beats the shit out of me, and leaves. It sounds like our crazy night has overlapped with the A-Lister and their entourage and we're all out together. So it becomes a question of whose work - artistic or social - do I like so much that them accidentally maiming me during a wild hang doesn't matter? Ultimately I wouldn't be mad if any of my friends accidentally hurt me.

The grinch stealing our food so randomly and with no understanding, I’d be rolling like it would be so wild and unexpected. I’d die laughing.

Without one shred of a doubt I would play literally ANY sport professionally if I was given a chance. What a dream!!!!!!!!!

Please Dont Look at Me · March 12, 2024

Forgot to comment earlier but I LOVED this episode, really hope you do more. I think it's my favorite new thing since dungeon court. Also apparently my boyfriend asked all his friends what they would do in the mind freak scenario and they were "unable to even comprehend the question" lol

Robert · February 24, 2024

Hahaha in law school there’s a phrase drilled into our heads “don’t fight the hypo” - meaning, the hypothetical is the hypothetical, take all of it as a given so you can address the core legal arguments. I feel like Murph could have said that phrase to the others in every single scenario.

R
Renegade · February 23, 2024

also wanted to voice my undying support for more of these!!! so fun and silly, love the way murph shoehorned the grinch in that last one to keep the pattern 💀

R
Renegade · February 23, 2024

for the sports one i would essentially say yes (assuming i also get good dental/medical insurance with this job) and try to thread the line between being sorta useful and not being so essential that im targeted for as many games as possible so i can make the max amount of money. i know ultimately i will be off the team, ideally by being fired instead of being critically injured, but i bet the money would be good enough that it would most likely be worth it. also once ive been cut or can no longer play im telling every interviewer i just did it for the money and had no prior training so i would become a super weird footnote in the history of the sport, which i think is fun and cool

M
Meghan · February 23, 2024

Cannot relate MORE to Caldwell wanting to assume the celeb arm break vision is actually an intrusive thought

T
Theodore McCabe · February 19, 2024

I can't believe they didn't ask what arm the celebrity breaks 😔 non-dominant I'd do it 100%

Lucia V. · February 12, 2024

No one saying that underwater Grinch is clearly my oxygen starved perception of a real scuba diver?! I fight the Grinch but I also don't swim up because I'm an idiot, hopefully I lose the fight because I know in my heart he's gonna save me, I pass out and when I wake up it'll be a normal-ass dude with green hair. Can I ask my partner first whether "I'm gonna Grinch!!!" is a deal breaker, or am I given the choice and I have to decide in the moment? If future me will never know that past me made the decision, I go for the broken arm. But it never even occurs to me that it could be worse than a clean break because I'm an idiot. I believe Chris Angel might be magic when I piss BUT I believe he'll bring my spouse back if he actually disappears him so I let it happen (because I'm an IDIOT). I go rollerblading but I try to come up with reasons not to get into the rollerblades myself when we get there. I still end up getting addicted because my spouse makes it look so awesome that I sneak out and try it a couple of months later, like an idiot.

So good! Please do some more

R
Rotem Cohen · February 7, 2024

Loved it!! If the problem with the scuba suit one is that you’re running out of oxygen than I think a sea creature probably wouldn’t help with that, but honestly I would probably not be in the headspace to notice that

m
missfortune1700 · February 6, 2024

The very SECOND the Grinch starts telling me he needs the job for his little grinch children, I’m fucking folding. I’d ask him to apologize privately to my partner, and if my partner was REALLY that upset still, I’ll leave a complaint, but only over the phone; I just can’t look the Grinch in the eyes while doing it. This episode was well worth the tier upgrade

M
Mojo1396 · February 6, 2024

I absolutely loved this episode about halfway through for a split second I did wonder to myself what the hell am I listening to but I still enjoyed it 😂

foster the boneless duck · February 6, 2024

this is so much fun! i think you guys should each bring a scenario next time! and do some polls to see what we would do

D
Dylan Irish · February 5, 2024

Need more of this. Cried laughing multiple times 😂 10/10 pod. Def would let Papa Grinch undo my scuba gear so I could die comfortable. Also, I would love to join an NBA team and just sandbag on one side the whole game to just get a full court pass for easy layups/ to draw a guy off of the actually talented players.

d
drmimms · February 5, 2024

Omg I laughed SO HARD at this ep. 🤣 The repeating of the Grinch absolutely took me out, and your discussions were hilarious. The questions were all a no for me, lol, but it was interesting to hear the various opinions.

J
Jordan Bergner · February 5, 2024

Definitely need more of this

J
Josh Marshall · February 5, 2024

I live alone with my cat and I will now forever fear the day he opens his mouth and calls me a grinch. I would devolve into madness. Like, I don't think I could let it go.

K
Kevin Garcia · February 5, 2024

I absolutely loved this one! 1. Absolutely trust the Grinch 2. I will never touch a rollerblade 3. I'm mad here no matter what 4. I'm suing and getting paid for this so I'm going out 5. I'm definitely taking the deal because eating healthy is tough 6. I'm taking the contract and only going for touchdown passes to avoid being tackled 7. It would truly destroy my sanity

T
Torrey Ratay · February 4, 2024

I need so much more of this. Asked these at a game night with friends and it had everyone extremely invested and cracking up. The grinch immediately became the entire theme of the night for every other game we played. I love it and want a whole deck of grinch based scenarios written by Murph to ponder.

A
AN0MAL0US · February 4, 2024

I might have grinched myself when I finished listening.

T
Takowowo · February 3, 2024

I will try to do these all in order 1. I'm trusting the Grinch, if I go out let it be because the Grinch KILLS me 2. I am already rollerblading and I agree it's awesome but I think that it's a sign I need to slow down on rollerblading 3. If my clothes are super nice I'll be mad at the grinch but otherwise the experience is basically what it was like for me at the rainforest cafe 4. If John Cena breaks my arm and signs the cast then I think I'm ok with it, I did have a broken wrist recently and honestly that did bum me out while it was healing 5. Hard out, I need the private JO time. 6. I'm taking that contract, that sounds fun 7. I think I'm good, I'll be sad about the glitched out videos if I'm trying to record something NOT animal related

T
Takowowo · February 3, 2024

I missed the Chris Angel one, I would probably leave the show because I fully pissed myself. Like it's gotta be a full ruin my pants piss but I would still say " Hey we need to go, I fully pissed my pants"

As PADI scuba instructor I can attest that in the advanced level course they teach you if you run low on air ALWAYS trust the grinch .

K
Katie P. · February 3, 2024

I would join the game- perhaps failure in the beginning can breed success in the future- do we only play for a season? Do we go to training camp or go back to the couch after the season is over? I'm stocky, I can trip up some folk. As for the pet one, no way, my dogs and cats all saying that with the same monotone voice would have me booking MRI or CT scans immediately to check for tumors

J
Jettblack · February 3, 2024

If I’m football I would want to play defensive line. Either I take up a guard that lets an actual athlete try to tackle the QB or I can atleast run up to him and flail my arms and distract. Riding the line of annoying and disruptive but maybe not enough to be worth a penalty or moral quandary to murder

M
Max Miller · February 6, 2024

That’s what I was thinking, they totally overlooked playing defense. Even though I by no means would ever get a solo tackle or anything, just having another body to work around will be a hinderance to the opposing team.

J
Jettblack · February 3, 2024

Absolute banger please more of this!

Witpending · February 2, 2024

The animal one makes me panic just hearing it read, so yeah, I think I go crazy 🤣

A
Azn · February 2, 2024

For the football one, you just make sure to to only get the pass when you're wide open and near the either the edge of the field or the end zone, so you can just run out without getting tackled.

Eugene · February 2, 2024

Honestly my biggest question with the Grinch coming to assist my scuba diving disaster is this: does the grinch have gills? If he comes swimming at me clearly holding his breath then 100% im thinking its a hallucination and im taking the gamble of swimming to the surface. But if i see the Grinch swimming with the elegance of a mermaid and i notice some kind of furry green gills on his neck while giving me reassuring hand gestures, my mind's at ease and I immediately thinks he's done this before.

A
Alex Schafer · February 2, 2024

This was an amazing episode. 100% do this sometimes! Fan submitted hypotheticals could be very fun too!

M
Michelle Spurgeon · February 2, 2024

I loved this so much! I was laughing so hard. I am very unathletic so all the sporty ones I'd not be participating. The grinch wouldn't have the opportunity to apologize and Chris Angel would go down! I work with my hands so no broken arms for me.

M
Michelle Phelps · February 2, 2024

This is one of my newest favorite NAPPOD episodes, please keep doing these!!! Maybe you can source some hypotheticals from from the Patreon as well like for dungeon court. I could see that being really funny.

HolyFatFish · February 2, 2024

1) I'm going for the surface. Im a steong swimmer and have the devils luck. Plus, If the Grinch *really* wants to help, just use your super fast swimming to help me get to the top 2) My wife already knows my abandonment issues started when my friends xould roller blade faster than me and I they never slowed down for me and eventually they disappeared from my view. I could get out of it. 3) I'm following my wifes lead on this one. If she's pissed, he's done. 4) Not going. Never broke a bone, never will! 5) Taking the deal. celery is hamburgers? yogurt is peking duck? Wife will get used to it. 6) stopping the show. I want magic to be real so bad I would absolutely believe after I pissed myself. 7) Hell yeah and i would score the winning touchdown too.

L
Lucia V. · February 12, 2024

I have to know more about your devil's luck. When? How? Give me your implausible anecdotes!!!

YungAshley · February 2, 2024

1. I would give the grinch a few seconds to see what he’s doing, but if he doesn’t fix it quick I’d swim up 2. I wouldn’t rollerblade, I trust my future self! 3. I would laugh and not get the grinch fired 4. I would totally go out! I’ve already broken 9 bones, why not make it 10 5. I wouldn’t take the deal 6. I would probably just watch let my partner disappear 7. I would 100% join the team!!! It would be so fun

E

Could you get fouls in the sports question? Because I would immediately be a liability if I have to know offsides or false start rules

I
Ilana Galpert · February 1, 2024

Re the last question: I think I would be charmed and elated the first few times but increasingly horrified as it went on. If it was just my pet, I would think it was possessed. If it was all animals, I would think a larger supernatural force was fucking with me, potentially a malicious one. What if the other shoe drops, and something more serious happens? I don't believe in supernatural entities generally, but this questions premise defies occam's razor.

e
electric_claire · February 1, 2024

Scuba Grinch: my immediate question here is how deep am I and will I get the bends if I make a break for the surface? The bends can be fatal so trusting the Grinch might be the safe option here. Rollerblading: look, sometimes relationships end and that's ok. Something doesn't have to last forever to be beautiful, let's go rollerblading. Restaurant: if my clothes get ruined I am demanding compensation. Nobody deserves to have a job making other people miserable be they an oil CEO or a restaurant Grinch. Broken Arm: no way. I am old enough that that arm is never gonna totally heal; it's gonna ache when it rains and be more susceptible to breaking again. Mindfreak: if my partner wants to be disappeared forever, that's their choice. Who am I to take that away from them? Rookie: I used to play hockey as a kid and for three years I was the smallest person in the league and only got checked once. As long as I avoid maintaining possession of the puck for too long I think I'm good. Just bring it down the ice a little, pass it and get an assist. Or maybe I can just focus on defense and try to steal the puck and dump it when it's in our zone. Also with hockey you're not going to be on the ice all the time, they're probably just gonna put you in for key plays to preserve your stamina. Pet Talk: Michigan J Frog teaches us that nobody can withstand this mental torture.

D
DMCDawg · February 1, 2024

Loved the episode! I would not get the Grinch fired, but I would probably have some questions for him. 1. Are you a Grinch outside of this job? 2. Do you Grinch anywhere else? 3. Have you always Grinched, or is Grinching a new thing for you? 4. Are there other Grinches? 5. How do you breathe under water?

N
Nicolas P. · February 1, 2024

An absolutely amazing format, more please! And as for the rollerskate question, I would go with my spouse but just not skate myself

U
Unbaked · February 1, 2024

please do this again! the first hypothetical with the grinch being in a yelp picture was the hardest ive ever laughed which says a lot because you guys make me run out if air laughing a lot so this was much needed. Also for the im gonna grinch one, wouldn't screaming that loud completely ruin your throat? I know my voice would take a flintstones sabbatical right after 1

Santa Grinch Hugging HumBaba and two Fairies · February 1, 2024

For the sports question I think I could do a basketball especially if it's like college level as a 31-year-old who has done jiu-jitsu but not regularly for at least 5 years playing basketball with like the 20-year-olds I used to work with they were like where the f*** is all this energy coming from how are you keeping this pace up bad at basketball but I can keep up with someone and get in front of a ball so and eventually I do get a basket in if I'm close enough and I keep trying, yeah Labron James and any high level athlete could extracurricularly wreck my shit but im sturdy ive played and reglued my glasses after geting Bballs to the face i will get fouls until i learn on the job becaus i rarly watch ball sports but ive watched enough movies i can follow the coaches instruction. If i could choose the sport id absolutely take a 2 on 1 Pro Wrestling match

Getting called up to the NHL. I played hockey growing up, but I'm not a particularly strong skater. I am a proficient goon. So, I'm going to hop on every PED imaginable, run an absolutely filthy bulk to 300 lbs. at 5'7" in hopes of becoming a waist high roadblock, and spend the off-season primarily training boxing in hopes of becoming Butterbean on ice

C
Canid Duality · February 1, 2024

1. Try to swim, 2. Tell partner to check me into an addiction clinic, lie about what addiction I have and when I get out say rollerblading is a trigger hoping this isn't the cause they leave, 3. Sigh, ask to change my order to go and then laugh my ass off in the car, 4. Pass. No A-Lister is worth it, 5. I'd do it and wear a ball gag or like Caldwell said in the tub. Now can I make the ball gag taste like anything? 6. I panic but read the crowd and end up letting it happen. 7. Pass. Not even close to being athletic enough to help, 8. Good the dog can't spill my secrets.

somewhere on this patreon there is an old episode (an hbs short rest actually) where murph mentions that he thinks nothing comes to him naturally and that he just tries really hard at things. my relatability to that statement aside, i think that this mixed bag solidly disproves that: murph is an absolute natural at creating strangeass hypothetical situations with stakes

Very fun! I would probably play along with the Grinch at the restaurant and be the extra man in hockey for a limited time. (Did you happen to see that crazy guy in the Grinch costume in Boston?!)

Since this is basically a whole episode of their "off the rails" talk, I was almost expecting them to circle around to being back on the rails and talking about the campaign 😂😂😂 For the sports question, I'm so legitimately bad at sports that by the end of the first game they'd be paying me to go play for the other team. Just own-goals and unforced errors all around.

This is the hardest I’ve laughed in so long: - I know I would QB better than Russel Wilson for the Broncos - “oh hey it’s the grinch” Animals and Kind Gesturing Scuba Grinch have a weird crossover that needs further exploration - Broken Arm Celeb Style: only obscure celebs in strange circumstances. I don’t want them tabloided for this. I want this to be a story people don’t believe when I tell, but anyone who was there is baffled by forevermore - Mindfreak: honestly… Murph I just love your mind that’s all I can think to say

This is such a good idea but I'm not sure how much padding you'd be allowed to wear under NHL regulations which might be a problem. Taking a puck or stick to the neck wouldn't be pretty.

I think Murph is quizzing his wife’s intentions. Does she save him when it counts or not. Em’ wink wink. @jake. You presume Josh Allen can actually complete a pass to you.

um...Caldwell...Mollusks aren't octopuses. the word you're looking is probably "cephalopod". Mollusks are like clams and mussels

Cephalopoda is a class under the phylum Mollusca, so they actually are mollusks alongside bivalves like clams!

Grinch Scuba: depends on the grinch; anything pre Benny Cucumber's version is a malevolent force. The newest version is a grumpy loner but no one in Whoville is actually scared of him like the other versions. The Minion Grinch will help you just to get you to leave, the Jim Carrey version will crush your bones like you’re made of pop bottles. Future rollerblading self: Listen to them, but I also already dislike rollerblading in general so not a real issue for me to avoid, if I wanted to play with fire I'd go rollerSKATING which is technically different and hopefully different enough to escape that future hell of rollerblading all the time. Restaurant: Get the new food to go and never return there. Broken Arm: I don't need John Goodman, star of the live action Flintstones movie, snapping my arm for a story. And for that, Tortles, I'm out. Food Taste: I ain't Grinching on this one. Mindfreak: I wouldn't believe him until the pee comes out (I have excellent bladder control) then I pull a Murph and try to make a scene to get us both kicked out. Rookie: Put me in coach. I'll be the check down off the sidelines guy Talking Pet: I would just be so annoyed. Id hope I could just move on and accept it eventually

God. Yes. More. This is excellent. My SO would be very unhappy about the Grinch at a restaurant and I would be forced to not just get the Grinch fired, but also fight him. As for the sport one. Yeah you have to do it. No one said you actually have to touch the ball. You’re a distraction, a wild card. You get one guy covering you and then that opens up an actually good player. Worth it.

Accepting a broken arm in exchange for a "cool celebrity story" implys a level of financial security that I can barely comprehend. I know that's a bummer answer, but I can't deny my reality. Lol

I asked a friend about the scuba Grinch and they immediately said kick him but then I explained a bit more and they said okay if it's Jim Carrey Grinch a still kick him but if it's the Benedict Cumberbatch I let him do what he's doing

Skillful Ferret · January 31, 2024

I really liked this, and would love more in the future. Scuba Grinch- I am breaking for the surface; it would be too instinctual, and I would be scared of the grinch if he came at me and was real Rollerblading Future- I would go rollerblading and then discuss the “future me” with a therapist. I already rollerblade and only don’t do it more because it is such a workout on the lower back. So I would have no fear of that, but would have the crushing fear of having become more mentally unwell. Restaurant Grinch- I either ignore it and beat myself up about it for a long time or attack the grinch as soon as he starts to lift the tablecloth. It would be a gut reaction. Broken Arm- I have also not broken an arm so I would fear that, but I would be too nervous that the A-list meeting was them breaking it because we got in a fight at the party and I lost. I feel like lots of A-list people might pick fights if they have a bad day. I also don’t know any A-list people I would want to meet; all of my favorite creators are like you guys or smaller in terms of fame. Changing Food Taste- I would absolutely take this, it’s one thing to eat healthily but you could eat perfectly healthy with this ability, and it would be way cheaper. If I wanted a steak, I could save money by making tap water into steak since texture also changes. I wouldn’t mind screaming the grinch thing as I would like to be more open to making verbal affirmations during. Chris Angle- I would want to stop them out of spite for being so agro but would be too peer pressured to respond. I don’t think I would be worried about them being magic, just worried that they were gonna not tell me how to find my spouse after the show in whatever trap door they go into. Rookie Player- I wouldn’t because of how much time of my day that would take but if I get paid like a professional, absolutely. Talking Pet- I would say yes. I mean there isn’t really any significant upside or downside to this. It may be the tiniest bit more convenient for two reasons. I could hear what their human voice would sound like, and it would notify me when they entered the room. I have ferrets (of course) and they are quite stealthy.

Ben Delahay · January 31, 2024

Loved this it was so funny: I’ve always desperately wanted to get into Roller Blading and I think the confirmation that I could do it would really fuck me up. I wouldn’t be able to resist eventually. It’d keep me up at night. I’d be very understanding of the Grinch having to Grinch out and I would double down hard on making him look even better for grinching out. I think if I break my arm one time in my life I’d like to look Tony Shaloub in the eyes when he did it, but I’d worry about being a huge baby about it. I think I’d be so afraid of drowning that I’d let the Grinch hang out like a seal but more bc I understand you shouldn’t be touching marine animals and not out of a sense that Grinch is my savior. I would make it so I could finally drink alcohol I don’t care if Im Going to Grinch I think if Chris Angel tried to make my partner disappear Id make a scene but in more of a deeply sad way than an angry way. Just pleading with him to not do this to the love of my life. And finally, I would take the money and hope they can coordinate a way for me to stay safe. I have a talent for deflecting soccer balls that pelt me in the head and I think I could bring that talent to Wrexham AFC.
