Description
Do you like to talk to tomatoes? You probably don't, because that's not a common interest! But maybe, just maybe, you'd like to hear us talk ABOUT tomatoes. Not to mention cucumbers, asparagus, grapes, and also the lord and savior Jesus Christ!... that last one seems like an odd fit. Check out the world's first ever podcast about the Christian children's animated sensation, Veggietales, as we put far too much effort into figuring out the internal logic of this dumb cartoon for babies, as well as analyze the series' religious messages and how they relate to modern mainstream Christianity, which, if you didn't notice, can be kinda messed up sometimes!

We're back from Actual Play Camp, with a little trip across the lake to Anime Camp, to talk VeggieTales again! It's two mostly fine stories about being nice while we try to piece back together our dumb lore.
We arrive a little bit late to the Easter episode but it’s okay cause Easter is gonna last FOREVER in this Christmas Carol parody. We talk about how it squanders the original story, the weird grudge against plastic and get mad at the idea of only being moral if there’s a heaven.
We are finally back, and the episode might be short but we still dig into coats, casual slavery, bible jerks and bad rap numbers.
God always loves us, even when we make mistakes! Mistakes like mashing together a weird cgi film festival, random songs and a half baked satire of “lol random” humor into one thing. Well, at least it’s futuristic!
Emily joins for a show that seems to exist in the aftermath of the great failure of Big Ideas. Bob and Larry want to put on a show and they’ve forgotten the good word. So they decide to steal from children. Bit of a mixed metaphor. Also there’s a lot of talk about death fearing kids, goofs and musicals.
We watch the first Veggie Tales movie that was so bad in bankrupted the studio. Was it the confusing timeline? The use of a bible story with a downer ending ? The racism? Oh we hope so, cause this movie is SO racist.
Lexi joins us for another takeover of the show that hopefully has a bit more class. We've got musicals and Shakespear and not so silly, but still really silly, songs.
Maxie joins for one of the weirder stories for Veggie Tales to adapt, as it involves forced marriage and Jewish genocide. Well let’s see how they handle it! We also talk a lot about sexy veggies, great songs about awful subjects and Luke describes his greatest Veggie Tale fear.
We sit down with our bud Dan to watch an episode all about *looks through notes* child soldiers and cucking???? Also Larry masturbates to a manatee, we get in depth with veggie dicks and we join the Church of Gaming.
Larry Boy returns as we’re joined by a new Kevin! We talk a lot about rumors, robots and plant body horror. Then we talk way too long about our past criticisms of the show and what people say by “just saying.”
Molly joins us for an it turns out we already covered, so let's tell Molly about our insane trip into this show!
Larry has hit rock bottom. He’s lost his job, he lost his faith and he’s lost his way. Mark joins as we examine an episode that is both a clip show and a deep dive into the soul.
We’re joined by Kevin for a episode theoretically based on a classic piece of literature. So we spend a lot of time talking about Wal-Mart, consumerism, berry poops and cheeseburgers.
The hosts are alone again, forced to wander the desert of this guestless podcast. But they make do talking about a city with big walls, along with the prequel of the bible, Aunt shaming, and SNL politics.
Brooks joins us for our first real Larryboy adventure and it’s not the epic we thought it was a kids. We talk about youth pastors, bloodthirsty Alfreds and fibs.
The Veggies must save Christmas and bring the true meaning to a town gripped by capitalism. Jordon joins us for an ep all about a little toy that gains sentience and brings God to this world. Also a snowman has a carrot nose and we all lose it at implications of that and more.
Luke and Ashley look back at a classic tale and while they don’t get as in depth as usual they do talk about Larry Boy, transphobic jokes and agree that they’re going to hell.
We are joined by Maxie and Fabby for a lot of talk about this episode, which is probably the most infamous Veggie Tales ep. We talk about all the changes the episode has gone through, the way it unintentionally criticizes capitalism and also how they turn a story about the persecution of Jewish people into a story about keeping Christ in Easter. Also all the racism, so much racism.
We're joined by Sean for an episode all about loving your neighbor, no matter if they're from space or from one city over. We also talk the Butter Battle Book, Luke Being Horny For Larry, Hairbrushes, How Junior is a racist, and our new theory that the veggies are being tested by a judgmental god.
After a disastrous act of Pod we had to re-record this episode. We still have a lot to say about how this show messes up it’s moral of forgiveness, the Garden of Eden, the existence of french fries and the fact that Larry might be a god in training.
