Dear Dr. Mike, That is not a cigar, it’s a pipe. This snowman is based on the Victorian version of a snowman. They were made by children playing outside in the snowy winter. To finish it off, kids would use stuff that was readily available i.e.: pieces of coal, which would have been small lumps of coal from the kitchen stove, fireplace or furnace. Traditionally, when a snowman is finished one would use lumps of coal for the eyes and mouth, a carrot for the nose, a scarf around the neck and yes an old pipe that would have been have been used by their father when pipe smoking was more popular, available and prevalent than cigarettes. Oh yes, and top hats were the common attire at one time and so many households had a top hat lying around. Commonly a corn cob pipe was used if not, your dad’s or grandfather’s old pipe. When I was young our house was heated with a coal furnace in the cellar and we used coal in our fireplace. Branches were used as arms with the twigs at the ends representing fingers.

[@whatsanenigma]

It's important to remember that the Grinch's heart was two sizes too *small* to begin with, so growing three sizes has the net effect of only being *one* size too big. Granted, that's still some pretty explosive growth.

Apparently the Grinch is inspired by Seuss himself. His wife was dying of cancer and he was getting fed up with the commercialization around Christmas. That was interesting to find out!

Interesting how he materialized the look of his own mindset as the Grinch. Maybe he chose green because he was envious of people who were happy and healthy because his wife was not? I feel like the Grinch is a member of the bigfoot family 😃

[@justarandomveryintelligent8934]

​@@lillybarnett4027 I also feel like people judge him too harshly for the situation with his first wife.

Thank you, Dr. Mike, for mentioning the danger of a doctor ignoring gaining weight. The example you gave of building fluid and eventual heart failure is EXACTLY how my husband died, because his doctor told my husband that she would "ask around", never heard back from her, and my husband ended up in hospice misdiagnosed for two years before having a heart attack and passing away because she didn't bother to look into the very clear symptoms of heart failure.

In that scene they were headed to the North Pole to prevent Frosty from melting when it becomes spring.

Well, the Grinch's heart did start out 2 sizes too small. Is having an undersized heart a biologically possible medical condition? If his heart only grew 2 sizes and not 3, would that have cured him of something, improved some symptoms?

One of my friends actually has an undersized heart, so yes it is possible. I'm not 100% sure about the second question, but I think it would improve the symptoms. - A person with cardiomyopathy and heart arrhythmia. (PVCs)

I remember the Grinch eating a feat with cindy lou in the 2D animation then the narrator saying this is the last time, something after that I cannot remember. Recalling those sounds doesn't give words, but it was the end of the movie. Then I remember someone reacting to it saying that it is accurate because he died before having another Christmas. Or after this Christmas. Forgive me, I have lost the ability to visually recall memories for a long time now. I'm only 23 and losing mental senses I used to have and enjoy like remembering how things felt, smelled, tasted and sounded. It all got replaced my a sense of presence or existence.

[@mentaya11]

This really sounds like you are crossing the Grinch with A Christmas Carol. In that, Christmas Present tells Scrooge that he sees a vacant seat and a crutch without an owner, foreshadowing Tiny Tims' death. Scrooge asks that he be spared and Present tells him "If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, none other of my race will find him here". His "race" is Christmas Presents. He is born at midnight and dies at midnight. He says he has "over 1800" siblings, of which he is the youngest. If taken literally, no other Christmas Present will find Tiny Tim alive. I could be totally wrong, but there is no mention of the Grinch dying, and your description of not living to see another Christmas fits the other so well.@@ryu_798

Frosty isn't really smoking anything in that pipe.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you're barefoot (or in socks) and you have to walk across a floor of broken glass, do the "stingray shuffle"; find a clear path to place your feet, then slide your feet across the floor without lifting them, gently brushing aside shards of glass when necessary. That way you can get to safety without seriously wounding yourself in the process. Fun fact: it's called the "stingray shuffle" because that is the same way to avoid stepping on stingrays when walking in shallow waters on the beach (by shuffling your feet in short strides along the sea floor as they kick up the sand underwater). The vibrations in the sand also help to let stingrays nearby know your presence and take caution.

The Grinch wasn't _just_ exercising... He spent the whole night gathering everything the people in town owned onto this sleigh through their chimneys while they slept (except the beds they were asleep in) and in this scene he's trying to single-handedly prevent the whole sleigh from sliding down the snowy mountain. Prior to this he was a hermit who stayed home all the time, so he's likely not in great shape. Also for reference, they say earlier in the movie that his heart was two sizes too small. It grew three sizes in this scene, so it's now one size too large. I'm not sure how these sizes compare to any actual measurements...

The cotton balls in "Elf" were actually made out of cotton candy. And Will Ferrell had to re-do that scene quite a few times, and with all the sugar he ate on the spaghetti scene, he went to the hospital with a severe stomachache.

Oh the power of the double dare. My brother was jokingly doubled dared by my sister into eating a piece of rock salt (Poisonous) when we were waiting for the school bus. He did it. When we got to school, he told our science teacher who was concerned (he was fine... I think the nurse monitored him for a hour but he was luckily fine...) and upset. She really lectured me and my sister for letting our brother do something that dumb (we were all 13 at the time (we are triplets) so... I mean it was on him but also teenage boys can't turn down a double dare). Moral: don't double dare teenage boys into doing dumb/dangerous things because they will most likely do it / don't eat rock salt.

I'm no expert, but I don't think the type of salt matters, it was probably more about how much he ate. but yeah, don't dare people to do dangerous stuff, stick to silly innocent stuff

[@L.A.R.A-g5u]

How about triple dog dares

[@14ajencks]

9:50 Fun fact, the way they got his tongue to stick to the pole was they had a hole in the pole and used a vacuum

[@sadib4782]

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

9:43 Was half expecting him to start explaining how Double Dog Dares work after his reaction to it 😆

[@rseellman1782]

Doc, you prove time-and-time again you are a product of your day and age.

[@jacked4080]

Someone have mike sit down and watch these movies in their entirety.

[@cococmc]

Especially the santa clause. Its my fav Christmas movie

[@lillybarnett4027]

OMG thank you for saying that. He really does need to watch all of them 😊

My husband had cardiomyopathy. He collapsed at 28 and had to have three valves replaced (his mitral, aortic, and tricuspid) and a pacemaker out in. He benched 165 lbs daily right before this. He knew something was wrong when he couldn’t pick up a 10 lb box at work. Turns out his heart was literally 3x the size it was supposed to be and his ejection fraction was 25%. The Grinch gives me flashbacks, but I still love it.

[@BrooklynAmmon]

It’s crazy how much I learn from him. I love watching his videos and find them actually entertaining so I am watching and laughing without even knowing I am learning.❤ I love your whole team and hope you have a wonderful day❤

[@sobolioustt]

Dr Mike: Ladders! So problematic Also Dr Mike: I always wanted a house with a ladder in it! 😂😂

[@Smoothieshake]

Dr Mike never fails to bring us an amazing video

[@unrellated]

When analyzing the Grinch's heart growing, keep in mind that it was two sizes too small before. So only one size too big is at least it's an improvement on his previous situation.

[@jessicagenrich144]

Shout out to doctor mike been a fan for at least a year or two . And talking about all this medical stuff helps me better understand my condition. I had cancer (leukemia) and am cancer free now !!! 🥳 I know part of what’s it like to have it and let me say it’s bs. So doctor mike I can kinda understand what it was like with your mom. No one can know exactly what some one went through or is going through but I’m here to say I’m feeling better and I’m sorry for your loss. I had a 50% 50% chance of living and overcame that. thank you for posting. If you could tell me how leukemia works ? Also say hi to bear and Roxy for me . Merry Christmas and as always great videos. Also shout out to the backstage camera men! Merry Christmas and God bless ya’ll.

[@jessicagenrich144]

Also peewoop!

[@MsLisa1114]

Love this! Praying for you and your family this Christmas! ❤🙏

[@sofiamorgan3756]

Frosty is not smoking. It’s just an accessory the kids put on him. Guess he doesn’t know that song I guess

[@aagold76]

it wasn't exercise that made the Grinch's heart increase- it was love/humanity

[@dangeiger9796]

For the record the “cotton balls” were actually unflavored cotton candy

[@DrewBernstein]

His heart didn't grow from exercising it grew from learning to love, MIKE

[@atomicalice0]

So much fun! Giggling at Die Hard being included in this! Also love the glasses, they look great!

[@lillybarnett4027]

🤣

When I was a child, we used to spend tons of time at the creek by our house. One popular hang out was a small beach area. I remember wading into knee deep water and feeling a sensation akin to loose skin flapping in the water... looked down to find a HUGE pool of blood around my feet... had stepped on the complete broken bottom of a soda bottle and needed over 200 stitches to close it up

[@ImperfectGamer1]

Glad to know Dr. Mike loves Christmas movies.

[@thebeddoctor4273]

Rewatch the santa on the roof bit. The actor steps on a rug that looks like snow and it slides and is in the final edit. I can never unsee it now
