MERRY CHRISTMAS!! "But wait", you may think, "isn't it January?". Yes. Yes it is. But if grocery stores can play Mariah Carey in October, we can release a Christmas podcast episode in January. Complete the series of 5 VeggieTales Christmas Specials with the fan favorite: "It's a Meaningful Life" with regular hosts Ben Harvey and Andrew Holaday accompanied by special guests Ally Willis and Tyler Holaday! Ally is the infamous unpaid intern running our social media, and Tyler has earned a feature on his brother's podcast after putting up with Andrew for 2 decades. Return to the festive spirit with us!||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Ben and Andrew take a break from the regular episodic routine to bring 5 Christmas episodes! Shorter and all releasing this week, VeggieBites are unique to the winter season, and dive into how well VeggieTales Christmas specials  put Christ in Christmas. First up, “The Toy That Saved Christmas”!

Back to your regularly scheduled half-hour VeggieTales episode analysis, Ben and Andrew cover the first bible-story following the Jonah movie release: "The Ballad of Little Joe". With help from Brian Harvey, Colt Parker, and Lia Bockman, the cover of top hit "Bellybutton" originally by Boyz in the Sink is all the remaining convincing you may need to tune in this week.||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

To wrap up the two-part-Jonah-extravaganza Ben and Andrew are joined by ANOTHER special guest - Mia Leoni!  Per usual, the hosts are fascinated with the most niche of details (this time it's rope), and their guests graciously puts up with their antics. In place of a traditional Silly Cover, the recreation of the episode is of the big musical finish: "Jonah Was A Prophet" (Ooo Ooo).||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Ben and Andrew are joined by special guest George Samra to discuss the very first feature length film by Big Idea: Jonah: A VeggieTales Story! George brings insight into the movie marking a turning point in the rise and fall of Big Idea, and vocalists Nick Isom and Trevor Hoots join to recreate this podcast's namesake song: The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Tune in next week for Part 2!||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

They are back! Ben and Andrew return from summer sabbatical to re-enter their chronological progression through VeggieTales. In this episode they cover Omlet, a less-than-crisp vegetable rendition of Hamlet, a slew of new volunteers assist in the recreation of "Larry's High Silk Hat", and, of course, they try their best to not delve into too many tangents as they give their take on the namesake of the episode: Lyle the Kindly Viking.||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

In their final episode before summer break, Ben and Andrew are joined by Silly Cover veteran vocalist Esther McKaig! Esther gives inside scoop on what it's like to live as an Esther herself as the three pick apart the VeggieTales release: "Esther... The Girl who Became Queen". Find out what our hosts think about a very efficient dating process, what a "meat pea" is, and government-sponsored civil war. The Podcasters Who Don't Do Anything will be on hiatus until August 2022, but have very exciting content on the horizon when the time comes, you won't want to miss it.||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Join Ben and Andrew as they pick apart the classic episode "King George And The Ducky". Ben hypothesizes that our Veggie friends are celestial beings, and Andrew performs what he considers to be the worst possible method of creating a female choir for the Silly Song. The Old Testament story this was drawn from may weigh heavy, but we guarantee our Veggie-fied rendition is as enjoyable as a bath with your favorite ducky!||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Ben and Andrew delve into the second installment of the Larry-Boy special from VeggieTales. Now appropriately debuting on Saturday mornings, join them as they become genuinely frightened by a show meant for children who's age hasn't reached double digits. Come for the VeggieTales commentary, stay for the unnecessary rants and kind of okay songs!||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Back from a brief hiatus, Ben and Andrew jump right in to the familiar episode 'Madame Blueberry'. Join in as they examine the complicated situations facing retail employees, question the existence of multiple types of peas, and give a glimpse into how Andrew was parented. Speaking of Andrew needing parenting, he once again loses himself within a Silly Cover, this week with the classic 'His Cheeseburger' accompanied by Luke Lawson on guitar.||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

In this episode of VeggieTales, Larry is tired and sleeps through it. In solidarity with Larry, Ben and Andrew sleep deprive themselves before recording their take on “Josh and the Big Wall!”. Also included is the silly cover of Song of the Cebú. A special tidbit for those who actually read these descriptions, Cebú is the Spanish word for the animal, the English word is Zebu. It's odd that only one word was translated to Spanish…||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Ben and Andrew are joined by guest host Levi Stokesbary as they walk through the first-ever LarryBoy feature episode: "LarryBoy! and the Fib from Outer Space!". Also included free of charge is perhaps the most involved intermission song to date with five (5!) vocalists. We've now mastered the art of stereo recording and no, there will not be an ASMR VeggieTales podcast episode. ||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Ben and Andrew somehow discuss Veggietale's shortest episode ever: "Dave and the Giant Pickle" somehow for their normal half an hour. Andrew adventures so far out of his comfort zone for the silly cover of I Love My Lips that he wonders if he'll ever return to any sense of "comfort". Arguably the most biblically accurate episode to date, this episode of VeggieTales is a classic. Also - close listeners will now recognize our audio is in stereo for what it's worth.||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Ben, Andrew, and guest host Holly Lehe discuss VeggieTales' first single-story full length episode "Rack, Shack and Benny". A multitude of guests also join in for this week's silly cover of "Dance of the Cucumber". Join us as we violate OSHA laws, analyze the throughput of an animated chocolate bunny factory, and continue to avoid mentioning the flawed reality of sentient vegetables.||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

This week, Ben and Andrew discuss "Are You My Neighbor?" including The Story of Flibber-O-Loo,  (A Suessian style segment), The Gourds Must Be Crazy (A Star Trek spoof), and Silly Songs return with The Hairbrush Song ft Luke Lawson on electric guitar. Join in as they discuss the realities of consuming meteors, the tactical advantage of a pot in a fight against shoes, and cucumbers with pockets.||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

Animal crackers now acquired, Ben and Andrew watch "God Wants Me To Forgive Them?!?" including The Grapes of Wrath, Larry's Lagoon, and one-off skit The Forgive-O-Matic from VeggieTales' second episode released in 1994. After grieving the lack of a Silly Song in this episode, hear the brand new segment: Ben's Fun Facts (BFF), and discover the versatility of bamboo.||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda

In their debut episode, Ben and Andrew travel back to 1993 (amazingly, considering they were both born years after) to the release of the first VeggieTales release: "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?". They traverse the two stories Tales from the Crisper and Daniel and the Lion's Den, as well as the first ever Silly Song, "The Water Buffalo Song", of which Andrew attempts to re-enact. During their exploration, they also answer pressing questions such as "Can God shoot slime out of his ears?", "Do vegetables need to shower?", and "Is pizza biblical canon?". ||Connect with us on Instagram @ThePodcastersWhoDontDoAnything | podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tpwdda
