WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING THE BOSS OF YOUR OWN THEATER?
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:33.110
- TECHNICALLY I'M NOT REALLY THE BOSS BECAUSE
00:01:33.130 --> 00:01:35.050
IT'S MR. NEZZAR'S THEATER BUT HE'S LETTING US USE
00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:37.140

WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON.
00:01:49.150 --> 00:01:51.040
WE'RE BOTH VEGETABLES.
00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:52.260

00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:53.270

OH, OH.
00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:56.000
WORKING WITH LARRY.
00:01:56.020 --> 00:01:56.290
RIGHT.
00:01:57.010 --> 00:01:58.080
HE'S STILL SILLY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AND I'M
00:01:58.100 --> 00:01:59.100

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.270
- LAURIE CROUCH: OKAY, LARRY, I HAVE A QUESTION.
00:02:01.290 --> 00:02:06.010
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SILLY SONG?
00:02:06.030 --> 00:02:07.200
- I GOTTA SAY GETTING DRESSED UP LIKE A PIRATE
00:02:07.220 --> 00:02:09.180
FOR THE PIRATES WHO DON'T DO ANYTHING OR GROWING A
00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:12.270
GOATEE AND PUTTING ON A LEATHER JACKET TO SING IN
00:02:12.290 --> 00:02:15.180
A BOY BAND FOR BELLY BUTTON OR BUBBLE WRAP OR
00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:18.010
WEARING A TOWEL AND SINGING IN THE BATHROOM FOR
00:02:18.030 --> 00:02:20.200
HAIR BRUSH.
00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:21.290
THOSE WERE ALL PRETTY FUN.
00:02:22.010 --> 00:02:23.060
- OKAY.
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.060
SO WHAT'S IT LIKE WORKING WITH BOB?
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.110
- BOB IS GREAT.
00:02:26.130 --> 00:02:27.200
HE DOES TAKE HIMSELF A LITTLE TOO SERIOUSLY AT
00:02:27.220 --> 00:02:29.200
TIMES, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOT ME FOR.
00:02:29.220 --> 00:02:32.170
OTHERWISE IT WOULD JUST BE HIM AND THE
00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:34.100
BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:35.130
- OKAY.
00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:36.290
IF YOU JUST TUNED IN, WE ARE TALKING WITH
00:02:37.010 --> 00:02:39.080
BOB AND LARRY.
00:02:39.100 --> 00:02:41.200
WE HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY HAD A TOMATO AND
00:02:41.220 --> 00:02:44.130
A CUCUMBER.
00:02:44.150 --> 00:02:46.110
FIRST OF ALL, LOVE YOU GUYS.
00:02:46.130 --> 00:02:47.260
BIG FANS.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.050
GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
00:02:49.070 --> 00:02:50.280
OKAY BOB, THE NEW SEASON OF SHOWS, HOW ARE THEY
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.030
DIFFERENT THAN LET'S SAY THE FIRST GROUP OF SHOWS
00:02:54.050 --> 00:02:56.290
YEARS AGO?
00:02:57.010 --> 00:02:58.270
- SURE.
00:02:58.290 --> 00:03:00.140
WELL, WE'RE IN A THEATER FOR ONE THING.
00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:02.080
IT'S LIKE A VARIETY SHOW SO THE STORIES CAN BE
00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:04.000
SHORTER AND SILLIER.
00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:06.040
FOR A WHILE THERE EACH SHOW WE MADE WAS LIKE A
00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:08.070
WHOLE MOVIE, BUT WITH THESE NEW SHOWS WE CAN
00:03:08.090 --> 00:03:10.190
FOCUS ON WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT, A BIBLE STORY,
00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:13.150
A LESSON FOR THE KIDS, AND THE FACT THAT NO ONE
00:03:13.170 --> 00:03:16.030
SEEMS TO FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS.
00:03:16.050 --> 00:03:17.280
DID I MENTION THAT ALREADY?
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.190
- OKAY, BOB, WHAT'S YOUR MOST FAVORITE THING TO DO
00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:22.210
IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD?
00:03:22.230 --> 00:03:24.020
- OH, LAURIE, I JUST LOVE TO TEACH KIDS
00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:25.250
THE BIBLE.
00:03:25.270 --> 00:03:27.020
THERE'S SO MUCH TO LEARN WHEN WE OPEN GOD'S BIG
00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:29.020
BIG BOOK.
00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:31.000
- OKAY.
00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:32.210
AS A SMALL CUCUMBER, A YOUNGER, SMALLER
00:03:32.230 --> 00:03:35.140
CUCUMBER, WHAT WERE YOUR DREAMS AND DESIRES?
00:03:35.160 --> 00:03:38.240
- MATT, ALL I'VE EVER WANTED TO DO WAS SING AND
00:03:38.260 --> 00:03:41.230
DANCE AND ACT AND REMIND KIDS THAT GOD MADE THEM
00:03:41.250 --> 00:03:44.230
SPECIAL AND HE LOVES THEM VERY MUCH.
00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:47.290
THAT AND EAT ICE CREAM.
00:03:48.010 --> 00:03:50.230
- OKAY, GUYS, YOU READY TO SEE YOUR TRAILER?
00:03:50.250 --> 00:03:53.080
- OH, YEAH!
00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:54.160
THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:55.130
- SUPER EXCITED.
00:03:55.150 --> 00:03:56.150
I HOPE I LOOK GOOD.
00:03:56.170 --> 00:03:58.000
- OKAY.
00:03:58.020 --> 00:03:59.040
THIS IS THE REAL THING.
00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:00.160
- I THINK SO.
00:04:00.180 --> 00:04:01.130
- LAST TIME I CHECKED.
00:04:01.150 --> 00:04:04.010

MR. NEZZAR'S THEATER.
00:04:19.020 --> 00:04:20.270
- OUR SHOW IS A DISASTER!
00:04:20.290 --> 00:04:22.210
- IT'S THROUGH THE EYES OF A JUNIOR SHEPHERD.
00:04:22.230 --> 00:04:25.040
THEY ALL LEARN WHAT THE PROMISE OF CHRISTMAS IS.
00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:28.040
YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THE CHRISTMAS STORY QUITE
00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:31.000

00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:09.230
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:05:09.250 --> 00:05:11.150
OUR GUESTS ALL ONE HOUR, BOB AND LARRY.
00:05:11.170 --> 00:05:14.160
COME ON NOW.
00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:15.270
- HEY!
00:05:15.290 --> 00:05:17.040
- HELLO, MATT.
00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:18.050
- HI, KIDS.
00:05:18.070 --> 00:05:19.110
I'M BOB THE TOMATO.
00:05:19.130 --> 00:05:20.180
- AND I'M LARR THE CUCUMBER.
00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:22.100
- AND YOU GUYS LOOK GREAT!
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.180
- OKAY.
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:25.050
SO FIRST OF ALL ZOOM BACK AND TELL PEOPLE WHY
00:05:25.070 --> 00:05:30.020
YOU'RE TALKING IN FUNNY VOICES.
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.200
[LAUGHTER]
00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:33.170
- BECAUSE IT'S WHAT WE DO FOR A LIVING.
00:05:33.190 --> 00:05:36.240
I MET MIKE IN BIBLE COLLEGE DOING PUPPETS.
00:05:36.260 --> 00:05:39.040
WE BOTH DOING PUPPETS, AND WHEN YOU DO PUPPETS
00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:41.070
YOU LEARN TO DO FUNNY VOICES SO, I STARTED
00:05:41.090 --> 00:05:43.030
DOING FUNNY VOICES WHEN I WAS WATCHING SESAME
00:05:43.050 --> 00:05:45.270
STREET WHEN I WAS LIKE FIVE YEARS OLD TRYING TO
00:05:45.290 --> 00:05:48.250
IMITATE THE PUPPETS.
00:05:48.270 --> 00:05:50.260
BUT I GREW UP IN A FAMILY THAT WAS VERY MISSION
00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:54.160
FOCUSED, VERY STRONG CHRISTIAN FAMILY GOING
00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:57.100
BACK ABOUT 4 GENERATIONS ON EITHER SIDE, SO I
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.210
HEARD STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE THAT DID AMAZING
00:05:59.230 --> 00:06:02.000
THINGS FOR GOD.
00:06:02.020 --> 00:06:04.010
BUT I WAS A REALLY SHY KID, AND I COULD NEVER
00:06:04.030 --> 00:06:06.160
QUITE FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE AMAZING THING THAT I
00:06:06.180 --> 00:06:09.010
COULD DO FOR GOD BECAUSE I LIKE PUPPETS, I LIFE
00:06:09.030 --> 00:06:12.090
SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS, I LIKE
00:06:12.110 --> 00:06:14.070
TECHNOLOGY, AND I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE TALKING
00:06:14.090 --> 00:06:16.100
TO PEOPLE.
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:17.270
[LAUGHTER]
00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:20.170
SO IT WASN'T UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL THAT I STARTED
00:06:20.190 --> 00:06:24.030
PLAYING WITH COMPUTERS IN HIGH SCHOOL, MORE
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:26.230
PUPPETS, MORE ANIMATION, AND THEN MTV TURNED ON
00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:29.180
WHEN I WAS A SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:32.130
AND I'M WATCHING MTV AND THERE'S ALL THESE MUSIC
00:06:32.150 --> 00:06:34.090
VIDEOS WITH THESE CRAZY ANIMATION TECHNIQUES AND
00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:36.110
IT WAS REALLY CREATOR STUFF AND I WAS REALLY
00:06:36.130 --> 00:06:38.230
EXCITED BY IT FIRST OF ALL, BUT I ALSO THOUGHT
00:06:38.250 --> 00:06:41.090
WAIT A MINUTE, THE VALUES THAT ARE COMING THROUGH
00:06:41.110 --> 00:06:43.120
IN THESE MUSIC VIDEOS ARE NOT THE VALUES I LEARNED
00:06:43.140 --> 00:06:45.290
IN SUNDAY SCHOOL WHEN I WAS GROWING UP AND WERE
00:06:46.010 --> 00:06:48.120
LIKE THE EXACT OPPOSITE IN SOME CASES, AND IT WAS
00:06:48.140 --> 00:06:52.010
LIKE IN THAT MOMENT THAT I FELT THE SENSE OF CALL
00:06:52.030 --> 00:06:54.010
THAT GOD HAS MADE ME CREATIVE, HE'S MADE ME A
00:06:54.030 --> 00:06:56.140
STORY TELLER, I'M GOOD WITH TECHNOLOGY, AND I
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.130
LIKE TO BRING THINGS TO LIFE, MAYBE I'M NOT
00:06:58.150 --> 00:07:01.080
SUPPOSED TO BE A MISSIONARY IN A JUNGLE.
00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:03.210
MAYBE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE A FILM MAKER, AND THAT
00:07:03.230 --> 00:07:06.110
LED TO THE PURSUIT OF BIBLE COLLEGE,
00:07:06.130 --> 00:07:08.110
FILM SCHOOL.
00:07:08.130 --> 00:07:09.280
BIBLE COLLEGE IS WHERE I MET MIKE.
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.280
WE WERE BOTH INVITED NOT TO COME BACK AFTER THREE
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.250
SEMESTERS BECAUSE WE FAILED CHAPEL.
00:07:13.270 --> 00:07:15.180
- FAILED CHAPEL.
00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:17.060
- YEAH, WE FAILED CHAPEL.
00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:19.130
WE WERE WRITING PUPPET SCRIPTS SO WE'D
00:07:19.150 --> 00:07:21.220
STAY UP LATE.
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.160
- INTO THE NIGHT, YEAH.
00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:24.250
- AND WE WERE JUST HAVING FUN.
00:07:24.270 --> 00:07:26.270
SOME PEOPLE DO TERRIBLE THINGS IN COLLEGE, LIKE
00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:28.080
THE WORST BEHAVIOR OF MY LIFE.
00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:30.030
WE WERE TEASING THE NIGHT WATCHMAN BY HIDING BEHIND
00:07:30.050 --> 00:07:32.150
WALLS WITH OUR PUPPETS, AND THEN THEY'D COME
00:07:32.170 --> 00:07:35.100
AROUND THE CORNER IN THE DARK WE'D STAND AND LIKE
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.250
SCARE THEM.
00:07:36.270 --> 00:07:39.190
- YOU WERE AWFUL THEN.
00:07:39.210 --> 00:07:41.210
- OH, YEAH.
00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:42.280
WE WERE A MENACE TO SOCIETY IN BIBLE COLLEGE.
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.110
SO AFTER THREE SEMESTERS WE WERE BOTH INVITED NOT
00:07:44.130 --> 00:07:45.190
TO COME BACK.
00:07:45.210 --> 00:07:47.140
AND I STARTED WORKING IN VIDEO PRODUCTION IN
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.130
CHICAGO AND TRIED TO FIND A WAY -- I WANTED TO
00:07:49.150 --> 00:07:52.020
INTEGRATE MY FAITH WITH MY FILM MAKING.
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.050
THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME CONNECTION HERE.
00:07:55.070 --> 00:07:57.000
SO THAT'S HOW I HEADED IN THIS DIRECTION.
00:07:57.020 --> 00:07:59.130
MIKE WAS COMING FROM COLORADO, AND HIS JOURNEY
00:07:59.150 --> 00:08:03.120
HAD PUPPETS IN IT ALSO.
00:08:03.140 --> 00:08:05.150
BUT YOU CAN TALK A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY.
00:08:05.170 --> 00:08:07.190
- YEAH, SO I CAME TO THE LORD WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE
00:08:07.210 --> 00:08:10.000
SCHOOL DURING A BILLY GRAHAM CRUSADE ON
00:08:10.020 --> 00:08:13.140
TELEVISION, AND QUICKLY FOUND A HOME IN OUR YOUTH
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.270
GROUP AT OUR LOCAL CHURCH THAT WE STARTED ATTENDING
00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:20.230
AND JUST REALLY LOVED IT.
00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:23.290
THEY'D DO A LOT OF PLAYS AND A LOT OF CHOIRS, THAT
00:08:24.010 --> 00:08:27.200
SORT OF THING.
00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:29.190
AND I JUST LOVED GETTING PLUGGED INTO THAT, SO I
00:08:29.210 --> 00:08:33.100
FOUND A REAL DESIRE TO PERFORM AND TO SING AND
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.000
TO WRITE MUSIC, AND I LOVED THAT.
00:08:35.020 --> 00:08:36.200
IT WAS A PASSION OF MINE.
00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:38.080
I WENT FORWARD AT A YOUTH CONVENTION WHEN I WAS A
00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:40.010
JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND DEDICATED MY LIFE TO
00:08:40.030 --> 00:08:42.260
MINISTRY, BUT I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT
00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:45.080
LOOKED LIKE.
00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:47.010
I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS BEING CALLED TO BECOME A
00:08:47.030 --> 00:08:48.260
PASTOR, BUT I LOOKED AROUND AT THE INFLUENCES
00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:50.260
IN MY LIFE, MY DAD WAS AN ENGINEER, MY MOM WAS A
00:08:50.280 --> 00:08:53.140
NURSE, MY OLDER BROTHER WAS A CHEMISTRY MAJOR, SO
00:08:53.160 --> 00:08:55.120
FOR ME I PUT THOSE THINGS TOGETHER IN MY 17 YEAR
00:08:55.140 --> 00:08:58.130
OLD BRAIN AND DECIDED THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
00:08:58.150 --> 00:09:01.070
A MISSIONARY DOCTOR.
00:09:01.090 --> 00:09:02.270
SO I HAD A PASSION FOR STORY TELLING AND
00:09:02.290 --> 00:09:05.020
PERFORMING AND ALL THAT, BUT I JUST DIDN'T IMAGINE
00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:07.060
MYSELF DOING THAT, SO I WENT TO BIBLE COLLEGE AS
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.090
A WAY TO SAY OKAY, I WANT TO GO AND GET SOME BIBLE
00:09:09.110 --> 00:09:11.290
CLASSES OUT OF THE WAY AND THEN I'LL GO ONTO
00:09:12.010 --> 00:09:13.290
PREMED AND MED SCHOOL AFTER THAT.
00:09:14.010 --> 00:09:15.250
- SO I HADN'T MET ANYONE WHO HAD AS WEIRD A SENSE
00:09:15.270 --> 00:09:18.060
OF HUMOR AS I DID.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.200
[LAUGHTER] I GREW UP IN CHURCH AND THEN AT BIBLE
00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:24.010
CONFERENCES AND THEN AT BIBLE COLLEGE AND YOU
00:09:24.030 --> 00:09:25.140
WERE SUPPOSED TO BE KIND OF NORMAL.
00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:28.260
YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSE THE TO BE REALLY WEIRD IN
00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:31.010
CHURCH, SO I GOT IN TROUBLE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL
00:09:31.030 --> 00:09:33.090
BECAUSE I WAS MAKING JOKES ABOUT THE BIBLE
00:09:33.110 --> 00:09:35.050
STORIES BECAUSE THEY WOULD STRIKE ME AS
00:09:35.070 --> 00:09:36.260
FUNNY SOMETIMES.
00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:38.150
AND I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BIBLE STORY
00:09:38.170 --> 00:09:40.040
THIS WAY.
00:09:40.060 --> 00:09:41.190
THAT'S KIND OF FUNNY, AND THEN I LEARNED OH, PEOPLE
00:09:41.210 --> 00:09:43.130
DON'T LIKE WHEN YOU DO THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF
00:09:43.150 --> 00:09:45.180
SUNDAY SCHOOL, SO I KIND OF JUST TURNED THAT OFF.
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.100
IT'S LIKE NO, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BIBLE
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.140
YOU DON'T MAKE JOKES BECAUSE PEOPLE GET MAD
00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:52.210
AT YOU.
00:09:52.230 --> 00:09:54.140
AND THEN WHEN WE MET IN BIBLE COLLEGE AND WE
00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:56.090
STARTED DOING PUPPET SHOWS AND WE COULD TELL A
00:09:56.110 --> 00:09:58.200
BIBLE STORY WITH PUPPETS, AND THEN WHATEVER THOSE
00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:01.100
WEIRD THOUGHTS THAT I HAD OR THAT MIKE HAD YOU
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.170
COULD LET THEM OUT, LET THEM OUT INTO THE WILD,
00:10:03.190 --> 00:10:06.010
AND IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE WE'D DO THESE PUPPET
00:10:06.030 --> 00:10:08.260
SHOWS IN CHURCHES IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA, AND
00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:10.180
ALL THE KIDS ARE SUPPOSEDLY OUT THERE BUT
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.260
THEY'RE NOT LAUGHING.
00:10:13.280 --> 00:10:15.130
INSTEAD I HEAR GROWN UPS LAUGHING.
00:10:15.150 --> 00:10:17.040
- IN THE BACK ROW.
00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:19.010
- AND A LOT OF OUR JOKES WERE GOING RIGHT OVER THE
00:10:19.030 --> 00:10:20.240
HEADS OF THE KIDS AND MAKING THEIR PARENTS
00:10:20.260 --> 00:10:22.250
LAUGH IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM.
00:10:22.270 --> 00:10:24.160
I REMEMBER THINKING THERE ARE KIDS IN THIS
00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:26.130
ROOM, RIGHT?
00:10:26.150 --> 00:10:27.270
BUT IT WAS THAT ABILITY TO PULL THE PARENTS IN,
00:10:27.290 --> 00:10:30.210
TO ENGAGE THEM.
00:10:30.230 --> 00:10:32.230
WITH VEGGIE TALES BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY, ARE YOU
00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:34.190
TRYING TO MAKE KIDS LAUGH?
00:10:34.210 --> 00:10:36.060
IT'S REALLY HARD TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE KIDS LAUGH.
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.110
YOU JUST TRY TO MAKE YOURSELF LAUGH AND YOU
00:10:38.130 --> 00:10:40.190
HOPE EVERYONE ELSE COMES ALONG.
00:10:40.210 --> 00:10:42.120
BUT IF YOU MAKE PARENTS LAUGH THEY'LL ACTUALLY
00:10:42.140 --> 00:10:44.160
WATCH ALONG WITH THEIR KIDS, AND THAT WAS ONE OF
00:10:44.180 --> 00:10:46.180
THE SECRETS OF VEGGIE TALES WHEN IT LAUNCHED
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.150
WAS THAT PARENTS ENJOYED WATCHING IT WITH THEIR
00:10:48.170 --> 00:10:50.140
KIDS AND THEN THE WHOLE FAMILY COULD
00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:52.020
LEARN SOMETHING.
00:10:52.040 --> 00:10:53.160
- YOU KNOW WHAT'S EXCITING IS, FIRST OF
00:10:53.180 --> 00:10:55.130

WE'RE ACTUALLY GETTING TO SEE THEM NOW.
00:11:17.110 --> 00:11:20.070
THEY'RE OUT, AND THIS WHOLE MACHINE THAT YOU
00:11:20.090 --> 00:11:24.070
GUYS BEGAN HOW MANY YEARS AGO NOW?
00:11:24.090 --> 00:11:27.040
- '93 SO YEAH, 26 YEARS AGO.
00:11:27.060 --> 00:11:29.010
- 26 YEARS AGO.
00:11:29.030 --> 00:11:31.140
- IN FACT BOB AND LARRY WERE CREATED, I CREATED
00:11:31.160 --> 00:11:33.170
THEM ON MY COMPUTER IN MY SPARE BEDROOM IN '90 SO
00:11:33.190 --> 00:11:36.260
IT'S ALMOST 30 YEARS FOR THE CHARACTERS.
00:11:36.280 --> 00:11:39.150
IT'S 26 YEARS FOR THE FIRST SHOW.
00:11:39.170 --> 00:11:41.170
- OH, MY GOODNESS.
00:11:41.190 --> 00:11:43.100
IF WE'RE INTRODUCING YOU TO, THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.200
INTRODUCING YOU TO BOB AND LARRY BUT WE MIGHT BE
00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:48.150
INTRODUCING YOU TO THE GUYS AND THE VOICES
00:11:48.170 --> 00:11:50.180
BEHIND THEM.
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.110
WE PREPARED A LITTLE ANIMATION, AND BY THE
00:11:52.130 --> 00:11:54.240
WAY, THE ANIMATION IS UNCANNY.
00:11:54.260 --> 00:11:56.120
WATCH THIS.
00:11:56.140 --> 00:11:57.210
- REMEMBER THESE GUYS?
00:11:57.230 --> 00:11:59.000
- I'VE GOT A NEW IDEA.
00:11:59.020 --> 00:12:00.020
IT'S SOMETHING REALLY EXCITING!
00:12:00.040 --> 00:12:01.210
- WHO CAN FORGET BOB THE TOMATO AND LARRY THE
00:12:01.230 --> 00:12:03.130
CUCUMBER FROM THE LOVABLE CHILDREN'S SERIES
00:12:03.150 --> 00:12:06.040
VEGGIE TALES.
00:12:06.060 --> 00:12:07.110
CREATORS AND FOUNDERS OF BIG IDEA, PHIL VISCHER
00:12:07.130 --> 00:12:10.020
AND MIKE NAWROCKI CAPTURED CHILDREN'S HEARTS
00:12:10.040 --> 00:12:12.240
EVERYWHERE WITH THIS LIVELY ANIMATION FILLED
00:12:12.260 --> 00:12:15.060
WITH SPIRITUAL THEMES.
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:16.150
PHIL STARTED AT A 25 YEAR OLD COMPUTER ANIMATOR
00:12:16.170 --> 00:12:19.170
SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO INTEGRATE HIS FAITH WITH
00:12:19.190 --> 00:12:21.200
FILM MAKING.
00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:22.270
THE BIG IDEA FOR VISCHER WAS TO TEACH CHILDREN
00:12:22.290 --> 00:12:25.210
RIGHT FROM WRONG USING BIBLICAL MESSAGES.
00:12:25.230 --> 00:12:28.280
MIKE ABANDONED HIS FUTURE IN MEDICINE AFTER
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.280
SERVING IN A PUPPET MINISTRY AND LANDING A
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.160
JOB IN VIDEO PRODUCTION.
00:12:34.180 --> 00:12:36.150
TODAY HE'S KNOWN AS THE VOICE OF THE
00:12:36.170 --> 00:12:38.100
LARRY THE CUCUMBER.
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:39.270
HE CREATED, WROTE, AND DIRECTOR MOST OF THE
00:12:39.290 --> 00:12:42.100
POPULAR SILLY SONGS WITH LARRY SEGMENTS.
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.160

PHIL AND MIKE HAVE ALSO GOT THEIR FEET WET IN A

FEW OTHER PROJECTS INVOLVING BOOKS, CDS AND
00:12:55.050 --> 00:12:57.040
THEATRICAL RELEASES.
00:12:57.060 --> 00:12:59.220
THEY'RE NOT DONE YET.

- ONLY ONE YIPPEE.
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:15.170
- YIPPEE!
00:13:15.190 --> 00:13:16.190
- YIPPEE!
00:13:16.210 --> 00:13:19.100
- THE CHILDREN IN OUR WORLD BRING US SO MUCH
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.010
JOY AND INSPIRATION EVERY DAY.
00:13:21.030 --> 00:13:23.060
AS PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS, THEIR GOD'S
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.210
GREATEST GIFTS.
00:13:25.230 --> 00:13:27.240
TODAY SCREEN TIME IS IT A PART OF ALL KIDS LIVES,
00:13:27.260 --> 00:13:30.230
BUT THE INTERNET CAN BE A DANGEROUS PLACE FOR THEM.
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:33.220
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY MIGHT STUMBLE UPON, EVEN
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.210
EXPOSED TO INAPPROPRIATE VIDEOS AND CONTENT
00:13:36.230 --> 00:13:39.220
THAT DOESN'T ALIGN WITH YOUR CHRISTIAN VALUES.
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:42.280
TO SERVE KIDS AND FAMILIES, WE HAVE BUILT
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.160
YIPPEE, A NEW STREAMING SERVICE THAT PROTECTS
00:13:45.180 --> 00:13:48.060
YOUR KIDS ON LINE.
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.230
HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF SHOWS THAT ARE SAFE,
00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:54.120
VALUES BASED, FAITH FILLED AND FUN.
00:13:54.140 --> 00:13:56.210
YIPPEE, IS YOUR TRUSTED SOURCE FOR CONTENT THAT
00:13:56.230 --> 00:14:00.240
IS SAFE FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO WATCH.
00:14:00.260 --> 00:14:04.220
YOU WON'T FIND ANY ADDS, SASSY CHARACTERS OR
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.280
VIRAL VIDEOS.
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.280
YIPPEE, WHERE CHARACTERS BUILD CHARACTER COMING
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.130
SOON AT YIPPEE.TV/TBN.
00:14:14.150 --> 00:14:17.280
[MUSIC]
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.010
IN PLENTY EVE TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, VEGGIE TALES
00:14:22.030 --> 00:14:24.100
RELEASED A NEW DVD CALLED THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT.
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.200
BRAND-NEW EPISODES WILL FOLLOW.
00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:30.220
[MUSIC]
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:42.240
- FIRST OF ALL, THERE IS A REALLY AWESOME
00:14:42.260 --> 00:14:45.100
ANNOUNCEMENT, AND TELL THEM ABOUT IT.
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.140
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
00:14:48.160 --> 00:14:50.020
- THE VEGGIES ARE BACK.
00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:51.240
- THEY'RE MAKING MORE SHOWS!
00:14:51.260 --> 00:14:53.070
- WHOLE BUNCH MORE SHOWS!
00:14:53.090 --> 00:14:54.280
- GOT THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.130
- YEAH, LIKE THE BLUES BROTHERS BUT VEGETABLES.
00:14:56.150 --> 00:14:59.070
[LAUGHTER]
00:14:59.090 --> 00:15:01.010
- NO, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED.
00:15:01.030 --> 00:15:02.280
I MEAN, 18 NEW EPISODES TO START.
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.100
I THINK THERE'S A FEW MORE ON THE WAY AS WELL, BUT --
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.250
- ACTUALLY 26.
00:15:07.270 --> 00:15:09.100
- YEAH, YEAH.
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.150
- BUT WHO IS COUNTING?
00:15:10.170 --> 00:15:11.250
- WHO IS COUNTING?
00:15:11.270 --> 00:15:12.220
- 18 FIRST.
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:13.190
- 18 FIRST, YEAH.
00:15:13.210 --> 00:15:15.010
- I WILL SAY IT'S JUST ONE OF THE FUNNEST
00:15:15.030 --> 00:15:16.150
ANNOUNCEMENTS TO TELL FRIENDS, TBN IS DOING
00:15:16.170 --> 00:15:18.230
MORE VEGGIE TALES NOW, AND THE REACTION OF
00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:22.240
PARENTS AND CHILDREN, BUT THE PARENTS ARE THE ONES
00:15:22.260 --> 00:15:26.280
THAT JUST BREAK OUT IN SONG WITH JUST -- LIKE
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.230
IT'S HILARIOUS.
00:15:30.250 --> 00:15:32.010
- I KIND OF THOUGHT BECAUSE VEGGIE TALES HAS
00:15:32.030 --> 00:15:33.100
BEEN OWNED BY 4 DIFFERENT COMPANIES OVER THE YEARS,
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.170
AND IT ENDED UP WITH UNIVERSAL, AND UNIVERSAL
00:15:36.190 --> 00:15:39.100
IS A HUGE COMPANY.
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.180
IT'S OWNED BY COMCAST.
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:41.260
THAT'S THE CABLE COMPANY, SO THE CABLE COMPANY OWNS
00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:44.070
BOB AND LARRY, SO IN MY MIND IT WAS LIKE THE END
00:15:44.090 --> 00:15:48.080
OF RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK WHEN THEY TAKE THE
00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:50.060
ARK OF THE COVENANT AND THEY PUT IT IN A BOX AND
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.110
PUSH IT INTO A GIANT WAREHOUSE HOUSE AND BYE,
00:15:52.130 --> 00:15:54.210
ARK OF THE COVENANT!
00:15:54.230 --> 00:15:56.240
- UNIVERSAL DID THAT MOVIE BY THE WAY.
00:15:56.260 --> 00:15:58.100
- THEY DID THAT MOVIE.
00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.180
SO IT ALL FITS.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:00.220
- IT'S AT THE WAREHOUSE.
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.050
- I THOUGHT OKAY, WELL, BOB AND LARRY ARE GONE.
00:16:02.070 --> 00:16:03.230
THEY'RE IN THE WAREHOUSE AT COMCAST SOMEWHERE ON
00:16:03.250 --> 00:16:06.110
MY CABLE BILL, AND THEN YOU GUYS REACHED OUT TO
00:16:06.130 --> 00:16:09.250
THEM AND SAID HEY, CAN WE DO SOMETHING.
00:16:09.270 --> 00:16:12.060
WE LOVE THESE CHARACTERS, AND THEN YOU BOTH REACHED
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.260
OUT TO ME AND SAID HEY, CAN YOU HELP.
00:16:14.280 --> 00:16:16.200
LIKE, YEAH!
00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:18.070
I WOULD LOVE TO HELP.
00:16:18.090 --> 00:16:19.130
SO IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU!
00:16:19.150 --> 00:16:20.220
- I REMEMBER THE STORY A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.040
- THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED.
00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:24.200
- LET ME TELL YOU HOW I REMEMBER THIS STORY.
00:16:24.220 --> 00:16:25.240
- UH-OH.
00:16:25.260 --> 00:16:27.010
- I REMEMBER THE STORY THAT BASICALLY UNIVERSAL
00:16:27.030 --> 00:16:29.160
SAID WE'RE DOING MORE VEGGIE TALES, AND I SAID
00:16:29.180 --> 00:16:32.150
NOT A CHANCE UNLESS PHIL AND MIKE ARE INVOLVED.
00:16:32.170 --> 00:16:36.200
- OKAY.
00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:38.110
- SO THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER IT.
00:16:38.130 --> 00:16:39.190
- I WAS GIVING YOU CREDIT ANYWAY.
00:16:39.210 --> 00:16:40.170
[LAUGHTER]
00:16:40.190 --> 00:16:43.180
- THAT'S A LITTLE MORE CREDIT.
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:44.270
I LIKE THAT CREDIT.
00:16:44.290 --> 00:16:46.040
- THAT'S GOOD, TOO.
00:16:46.060 --> 00:16:47.120
- WE'RE NOT DOING A THING.
00:16:47.140 --> 00:16:48.220
- [IMITATES JIMMY CAGNEY] UNLESS MY BOYS
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.190
ARE INVOLVED, SEE.
00:16:49.210 --> 00:16:52.250
- SO BASICALLY I JEST BUT I'M NOT JESTING.
00:16:52.270 --> 00:16:57.100
VEGGIE TALES WOULDN'T BE WHAT IT IS UNLESS YOU
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:01.100
GUYS WERE WRITING AND BEING THE VOICES AND
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.080
DOING YOUR CREATIVE TOUCH ON IT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:08.170
WE FELL IN LOVE WITH, OKAY.
00:17:08.190 --> 00:17:11.110
WE FELL IN LOVE WITH VEGGIE TALES, AND EVERY
00:17:11.130 --> 00:17:14.140
PERSON YOU EVER TALK TO, WHEN WE TALK TO OUR
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.010
FRIENDS, WE'LL SAY VEGGIE TALES IS COMING BACK.
00:17:18.030 --> 00:17:21.090
WE OWNED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
00:17:21.110 --> 00:17:23.170
AND SEE, HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
00:17:23.190 --> 00:17:25.100
IT WAS SO LONG AGO NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHERE
00:17:25.120 --> 00:17:27.110
THE VHS'S ARE.
00:17:27.130 --> 00:17:28.280
WOULDN'T MATTER ANYWAY.
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.280
- WHERE THE PLAYER IS.
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.110
- I DON'T HAVE A PLAYER NOW FOR A DVD PLAYER,
00:17:33.130 --> 00:17:35.190
YOU KNOW.
00:17:35.210 --> 00:17:37.010
HER COMPUTER WHEN WE BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER
00:17:37.030 --> 00:17:38.170
DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SLOT FOR IT ANYMORE.
00:17:38.190 --> 00:17:40.160
- WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:43.200
- SO BASICALLY WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT THESE
00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:46.020
VEGGIE TALES EPISODES AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO SHOW
00:17:46.040 --> 00:17:47.270
THEM TO ANYBODY, SO ONE OF THE FIXES FOR THAT IS
00:17:47.290 --> 00:17:52.040
IN ADDITION TO VEGGIE TALES, BASICALLY THE
00:17:52.060 --> 00:17:56.030
EPISODES WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, ONE
00:17:56.050 --> 00:17:59.010
OF THE OTHER THINGS IS HOW DO WE GET THEM TO YOU.
00:17:59.030 --> 00:18:02.230
NOW, UNIVERSAL IS A BIG COMPANY AND THEY KNOW
00:18:02.250 --> 00:18:05.240
THIS OTHER SHOW CALLED WAL-MART AND TARGET AND
00:18:05.260 --> 00:18:08.290
K MART, SO THERE ARE GOING TO BE DVDS RELEASED.
00:18:09.010 --> 00:18:12.200
THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT WE THOUGHT IT MORE
00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:15.170
IMPORTANT TO DO A SVOD, SUBSCRIPTION VIDEO ON
00:18:15.190 --> 00:18:17.270
DEMAND SO YOU CAN OWN ALL THE CONTENT DIGITALLY,
00:18:17.290 --> 00:18:26.000
AND WHATEVER DEVICE YOU WANT TO PLAY THEM ONTO
00:18:26.020 --> 00:18:29.050
FROM YOUR TV TO YOUR LAPTOP TO YOUR I PAD TO
00:18:29.070 --> 00:18:32.290
YOUR CELL PHONE FOR PROBABLY LESS THAN IT
00:18:33.010 --> 00:18:35.270
WOULD COST TO BUY THE EPISODES BACK
00:18:35.290 --> 00:18:37.080
IN THE OLD DAYS.
00:18:37.100 --> 00:18:38.150
I MEAN, WAL-MART, HOW MUCH WERE THEY WHEN THEY
00:18:38.170 --> 00:18:40.170
FIRST CAME OUT?
00:18:40.190 --> 00:18:41.160
- 14.
00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:42.080
- $15.
00:18:42.100 --> 00:18:44.120
- SO WE'RE BASICALLY PUTTING TOGETHER SVOD.
00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:47.090
THE FUN PART IS IT'S CALLED YIPPEE.
00:18:47.110 --> 00:18:50.180
SO YIPPEE IS.
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.170
- IT WAS YIPPEE!
00:18:52.190 --> 00:18:54.100
- WELL, IT IS.
00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:56.030
HOW DOES BOB SAY IT?
00:18:56.050 --> 00:18:58.270
- [BOB VOICE] YIPPEE!
00:18:58.290 --> 00:19:01.060
- LARRY?
00:19:01.080 --> 00:19:02.060
- [LARRY VOICE] YIPPEE!
00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:03.180
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:04.210
- YEAH, SO, YIPPEE?
00:19:04.230 --> 00:19:06.150
- EUROPEAN YIPPEE.
00:19:06.170 --> 00:19:09.030
HOW ABOUT THE FRENCH BEETS.
00:19:09.050 --> 00:19:10.110
[FRENCH ACCENT] YIPPEE!
00:19:10.130 --> 00:19:12.030
- [FRENCH VOICE] OKAY, YIPPEE!
00:19:12.050 --> 00:19:15.250
- HOW WOULD THE GOURDS SAY?
00:19:15.270 --> 00:19:18.190
- [GOURD VOICE] YIPPEE.
00:19:18.210 --> 00:19:20.030
YIP. YIPPEE?
00:19:20.050 --> 00:19:21.270
- YIPPEE. YEAH, THEY BOTH SOUND VERY SIMILAR.
00:19:21.290 --> 00:19:25.100
- BECAUSE THEY'RE US DOING AN IMPRESSION OF
00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:27.040
A BOSS THAT WE HAD. WE BOTH WORKED AT ONE--
00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:31.020
HIS NAME WAS JIM AND HE TALKED LIKE THAT.
00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:33.250
- HOW MANY VOICES DO YOU DO?
00:19:33.270 --> 00:19:37.000
SAY THE NAME OF THE CHARACTERS THAT YOU DO.
00:19:37.020 --> 00:19:39.040
BOB. HAVE BOB DO YIPPEE.
00:19:39.060 --> 00:19:42.000
- [BOB VOICE] YIPPEE.
00:19:42.020 --> 00:19:45.020
I CAN'T DO ALL OF THEM.
00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:46.100
BOB THE TOMATO, PA GRAPE, ARCHIBALD, MR. LUNT,
00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:50.050
MR. NEZZER, ONE OF THE FRENCH PEAS, PHILLIPPE THE
00:19:50.070 --> 00:19:53.280
PEA, JIMMY GOURD, THEN GOLIATH THE GIANT PICKLE.
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:59.280
- MIKE, HOW MANY DO YOU DO?
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.150
- LET'S SEE, LARRY, JEAN- CLAUDE PEA, JERRY GOURD,
00:20:01.170 --> 00:20:05.100
SCALLION NUMBER THREE.
00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:07.160
- OH, YEAH, I'M SCALLION NUMBER ONE.
00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:09.260
- OSCAR THE POLISH CATERER.
00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:12.130
- HOW WOULD HE DO YIPPEE?
00:20:12.150 --> 00:20:14.100
- HOW WOULD OSCAR DO?
00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:16.240
[OSCAR VOICE] I HOPE YOU'RE HUNGRY, YIPPEE!
00:20:16.260 --> 00:20:18.200
[LAUGHTER]
00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:20.170
- I DON'T KNOW. HE COULD SAY IT IN POLISH.
00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:22.120
- HOW WOULD PA GRAPE DO IT?
00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:23.260
- [PA GRAPE VOICE] YIPPEE.
00:20:23.280 --> 00:20:26.170
BIG EXPENDITURES OF ENERGY EXHAUSTED SO
00:20:26.190 --> 00:20:28.250
HE WOULDN'T SOUND HAPPY ABOUT IT.
00:20:28.270 --> 00:20:30.220
[PA GRAPE VOICE] OH, YIPPEE. WE GOT A NEW SVOD.
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.200
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:36.240
I HOPE THERE'S A DRUG FOR IT THOUGH.
00:20:36.260 --> 00:20:39.050
[LAUGHTER]
00:20:39.070 --> 00:20:41.140
OY VEY!
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.210
YIPPEE.
00:20:43.230 --> 00:20:45.050
SOMETHING ELSE I'VE GOT TO SUBSCRIBE TO
00:20:45.070 --> 00:20:47.080
BESIDES AARP MAGAZINE.
00:20:47.100 --> 00:20:50.210
- MATT: PERFECT. OKAY. SO--
00:20:50.230 --> 00:20:55.050
- AND THAT'S-- LET ME JUST SAY I HAVE A
00:20:55.070 --> 00:20:56.280
TWO AND A HALF YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER NOW,
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.250
'CAUSE I'M OLD, THAT'S HOW THAT HAPPENS.
00:20:58.270 --> 00:21:01.000
I HAVE A TWO AND A HALF YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER.
00:21:01.020 --> 00:21:02.070
IF I HAND HER A DVD, SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
00:21:02.090 --> 00:21:06.090
IF YOU HAND HER A PHONE, SHE'LL, YEAH SHE'S THERE
00:21:06.110 --> 00:21:09.220
AND SHE'S FOUND HER VIDEO.
00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:12.010
SO IT'S REALLY HARD FOR THE NEWEST GENERATION OF
00:21:12.030 --> 00:21:15.090
KIDS OR GRANDKIDS TO DEAL WITH 20 YEAR OLD MEDIA,
00:21:15.110 --> 00:21:19.260
SO I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE ALL
00:21:19.280 --> 00:21:21.230
THIS STUFF DIGITALLY IN A WAY WHERE
00:21:21.250 --> 00:21:23.060
THEY CAN JUST FIND IT.
00:21:23.080 --> 00:21:24.190
YOU HAND YOUR PHONE TO YOUR KIDS AND THEY CAN
00:21:24.210 --> 00:21:26.050
FIND THE VIDEO THAT YOU WANT THEM TO WATCH.
00:21:26.070 --> 00:21:28.170
- WE WANT TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE PIECE OF NEW
00:21:28.190 --> 00:21:32.010
VEGGIE TALES. THIS WHOLE EPISODE WE'RE GONNA BE
00:21:32.030 --> 00:21:34.030
SHOWING YOU CLIPS.
00:21:34.050 --> 00:21:35.210
THIS ONE IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.
00:21:35.230 --> 00:21:37.220
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. WATCH THIS.
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:39.270
- IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YEAR
00:21:39.290 --> 00:21:41.260
SINCE WE HAD A CHRISTMAS.
00:21:41.280 --> 00:21:44.030
- WELL, IT'S SORT OF AN ANNUAL THING.
00:21:44.050 --> 00:21:46.290
- HI, LARRY.
00:21:47.010 --> 00:21:48.030
DID YOU BRING THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS?
00:21:48.050 --> 00:21:49.160
- GOT 'EM. EVERYTHING.
00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:51.160
- AS ASSIGNED, I HAVE ASSEMBLED AN AMAZING
00:21:51.180 --> 00:21:53.250
ASSORTMENT OF CULINARY DELIGHTS
00:21:53.270 --> 00:21:55.170
FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE.
00:21:55.190 --> 00:21:57.160
- WHAT?
00:21:57.180 --> 00:21:59.150
- I BROUGHT THE FOOD.
00:21:59.170 --> 00:22:00.250
CHRISTMAS FOOD FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
00:22:00.270 --> 00:22:03.290
- YEAH! WHEN DO WE EAT?
00:22:04.010 --> 00:22:06.010
- EAT FOOD.
00:22:06.030 --> 00:22:07.090
- NOT YET, GUYS.
00:22:07.110 --> 00:22:08.170
THE CHRISTMAS FOOD IS FOR THE SHOW.
00:22:08.190 --> 00:22:11.240
- WE LOVE CHRISTMAS FOOD!
00:22:11.260 --> 00:22:13.270
- MANY.
00:22:13.290 --> 00:22:15.040
- AND YOU'VE GOT ALL THE DECORATIONS?
00:22:15.060 --> 00:22:17.120
- SURE DO.
00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:18.200
I GOT STOCKINGS, TINSEL
00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:20.130
AND TEENY TINY TWINKLY LIGHTS.
00:22:20.150 --> 00:22:22.160
- AND?
00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:24.080
- WHAT?
00:22:24.100 --> 00:22:25.140
- ANYTHING ELSE?
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:26.260
- LIKE WHAT?
00:22:26.280 --> 00:22:28.010
- DID YOU GET THE TREE?
00:22:28.030 --> 00:22:29.230
- THE WHAT?
00:22:29.250 --> 00:22:30.210
- THE TREE! THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
00:22:30.230 --> 00:22:33.030
- THE CHRISTMAS TREE?
00:22:33.050 --> 00:22:35.040
- YES, THE CHRISTMAS TREE!
00:22:35.060 --> 00:22:37.040
- HMM...
00:22:37.060 --> 00:22:39.270
WAS THAT ON MY LIST?
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.210
- YES, IT WAS ON YOUR LIST!
00:22:42.230 --> 00:22:44.060
IT'S A BIG PART OF CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!
00:22:44.080 --> 00:22:48.170
- I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
00:22:49.190 --> 00:22:51.050
- CLIPS FROM THE BRAND-NEW VEGGIE TALES,
00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:56.240
OUR OFFER THIS MONTH.
00:22:56.260 --> 00:22:59.110
OKAY, VEGGIE TALES USED TO BE CHOCOLATE TALES
00:22:59.130 --> 00:23:02.280
KIND OF. WHAT HAPPENED?
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.120
- ALMOST WAS.
00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:05.270
SO I WAS A COMPUTER ANIMATOR IN CHICAGO IN
00:23:05.290 --> 00:23:07.210
THE LATE 1980S, VERY EARLY ON IN COMPUTER
00:23:07.230 --> 00:23:09.260
ANIMATION HISTORY, AND I WANTED TO TELL STORIES
00:23:09.280 --> 00:23:12.060
FOR KIDS THAT WERE LONGER, BUT THE
00:23:12.080 --> 00:23:14.260
TECHNOLOGY COULDN'T HANDLE ANYTHING WITH ARMS
00:23:14.280 --> 00:23:17.120
OR LEGS OR HAIR OR CLOTHES, SO I REALIZED
00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:21.150
OKAY, I NEED NAKED, BALD, LIMBLESS CHARACTERS AND
00:23:21.170 --> 00:23:26.060
THEY'RE GONNA SELL AT CHRISTIAN BOOK STORES.
00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:28.110
WHAT IS THAT?
00:23:28.130 --> 00:23:30.180
AND MY FIRST IDEA WAS A CANDY BAR.
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.250
I CAN MAKE A CANDY BAR AND GIVE HIM A FACE.
00:23:33.270 --> 00:23:36.010
SO I DID. I MADE A CANDY BAR AND GAVE HIM A FACE,
00:23:36.030 --> 00:23:38.020
EXPERIMENTING WITH THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAD AT THE
00:23:38.040 --> 00:23:40.220
TIME, AND THEN I THOUGHT THIS COULD WORK.
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.120
KIDS-- A WHOLE CANDY SHOWS, SURE.
00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:46.240
MY WIFE-- I'D JUST GOTTEN MARRIED.
00:23:46.260 --> 00:23:48.110
MY WIFE WALKED BY THE SPARE BEDROOM WHERE I WAS
00:23:48.130 --> 00:23:50.090
WORKING, SHE SAW THE CANDY BAR ON THE MONITOR
00:23:50.110 --> 00:23:53.190
AND SAID YOU KNOW MOMS ARE GONNA BE MAD IF YOU
00:23:53.210 --> 00:23:55.100
MAKE THEIR KIDS FALL IN LOVE WITH CANDY BARS.
00:23:55.120 --> 00:23:57.110
AND I THOUGHT SHE'S RIGHT!
00:23:57.130 --> 00:23:59.220
OF COURSE THEY WON'T LIKE THAT AT ALL.
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:01.250
- GLAD YOU MARRIED HER.
00:24:01.270 --> 00:24:03.050
- SHE SAVED ME. AND--
00:24:03.070 --> 00:24:05.050
- AND SHE'S THE VOICE OF JUNIOR ASPARAGUS.
00:24:05.070 --> 00:24:06.190
- AND SHE'S THE VOICE OF JUNIOR ASPARAGUS,
00:24:06.210 --> 00:24:07.290
WHICH ALSO HELPS.
00:24:08.010 --> 00:24:09.130
SO I THOUGHT WHAT IS SHAPED LIKE A CANDY BAR
00:24:09.150 --> 00:24:11.180
THAT MOMS WOULDN'T BE MAD ABOUT THEIR KIDS FALLING
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.150
IN LOVE WITH, AND THE NEXT THING THAT POPPED
00:24:13.170 --> 00:24:15.020
INTO MY HEAD WAS A CUCUMBER.
00:24:15.040 --> 00:24:16.240
SO I MADE A CUCUMBER, TOOK THE FACE OFF THE
00:24:16.260 --> 00:24:18.040
CANDY BAR, PUT IT ON THE CUCUMBER.
00:24:18.060 --> 00:24:19.240
HE WAS CUTE, HE WAS KOOKY.
00:24:19.260 --> 00:24:22.040
I GAVE HIM ONE TOOTH BECAUSE CUCUMBERS ARE
00:24:22.060 --> 00:24:23.210
KOOKY, BUT HE WAS ALONE AND IT WAS NOT GOOD.
00:24:23.230 --> 00:24:26.110
SO HE WAS TALL AND SKINNY.
00:24:26.130 --> 00:24:28.000
I THOUGHT HE NEEDS A FRIEND WHO'S SHORT AND
00:24:28.020 --> 00:24:29.190
ROUND SO THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER,
00:24:29.210 --> 00:24:31.140
SO THE TOMATO. A TOMATO AND A CUCUMBER.
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.270
AND I THOUGHT DOES THE TOMATO ONLY HAVE ONE TOOTH
00:24:33.290 --> 00:24:35.290
TOO? NO, THEN I'M MAKING VEGETABLE HEE HAW.
00:24:36.010 --> 00:24:38.200
SOMEBODY NEEDS A FULL SET OF TEETH.
00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:41.020
SO I GAVE HIM A FULL SET OF TEETH.
00:24:41.040 --> 00:24:43.060
ONLY WHEN HE SMILES, OTHERWISE HE HAS NO TEETH
00:24:43.080 --> 00:24:45.130
AT ALL. IT'S MAGIC!
00:24:45.150 --> 00:24:48.120
BUT I THOUGHT OKAY, HE HAS A FULL SET OF TEETH
00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:50.000
SO HE'S PROBABLY THE SMART ONE BECAUSE TEETH
00:24:50.020 --> 00:24:51.290
AND IQ ARE LINKED WE'VE DISCOVERED.
00:24:52.010 --> 00:24:54.210
YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
00:24:54.230 --> 00:24:56.110
THERE'S RESEARCH JUST CAME IN.
00:24:56.130 --> 00:24:58.130
- WHICH YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL TEETH BY THE WAY.
00:24:58.150 --> 00:25:00.290
- YOU BOTH ARE VERY INTELLIGENT, I CAN TELL.
00:25:01.010 --> 00:25:04.110
- SO HE BECAME THE STRAIGHT GUY,
00:25:04.130 --> 00:25:05.290
AND THE CUCUMBER WAS THE SILLY GUY.
00:25:06.010 --> 00:25:07.270
AND I SAID MIKE, OKAY MIKE, YOU'RE SILLY,
00:25:07.290 --> 00:25:09.250
YOU BE THE CUCUMBER, I'LL BE THE TOMATO
00:25:09.270 --> 00:25:12.170
AND WE'LL DO A SHOW. HOW HARD CAN IT BE?
00:25:12.190 --> 00:25:15.010
- YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE NOTICED AFTER GETTING TO
00:25:15.030 --> 00:25:16.260
KNOW YOU GUYS, AND WE'RE WORKING ON A PRETTY BIG
00:25:16.280 --> 00:25:20.160
PROJECT TOGETHER, THERE'S 26 NEW VEGGIE TALES.
00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:24.160
I'VE JUST NOTICED HOW UNIQUELY SIMILAR YOUR
00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:31.110
ACTUAL TALKING VOICE IS TO YOUR CHARACTER VOICES.
00:25:31.130 --> 00:25:34.160
AND MIKE'S IS NOT.
00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:36.140
MIKE HAS THIS VERY BARITONE RESONATE RADIO
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.110
VOICE, BUT THEN YOU GO WAY UP AND YOU DO LARRY.
00:25:39.130 --> 00:25:44.030
BUT YOU SLIP IN AND OUT OF BOB ALL THE TIME.
00:25:44.050 --> 00:25:47.270
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT ANYMORE.
00:25:47.290 --> 00:25:49.130
- BOB IS ME ON CAFFEINE. I'VE TURNED INTO BOB.
00:25:49.150 --> 00:25:52.240
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I'LL SPEAK AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES
00:25:52.260 --> 00:25:55.000
AND TELL MY STORY, WHICH IS DEEP AND MOVING AND
00:25:55.020 --> 00:25:57.110
PROFOUND, AND THEN SOMEONE ALWAYS COMES UP
00:25:57.130 --> 00:25:59.020
AFTERWARDS AND SAYS ALL I COULD HEAR WAS
00:25:59.040 --> 00:26:00.110
BOB THE TOMATO.
00:26:00.130 --> 00:26:02.210
- WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNGER, I WOULD SPEAK IN
00:26:02.230 --> 00:26:04.240
A LITTLE HIGHER PITCHED VOICE TO THEM ALL THE TIME.
00:26:04.260 --> 00:26:06.180
- JUST TO NOT SCARE THEM.
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.030
- JUST TO NOT SCARE THEM, YEAH.
00:26:08.050 --> 00:26:09.140
- BECAUSE THEY'RE LITTLE.
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.010
- BUT PEOPLE WOULD SAY OH, I HEAR LARRY IN THERE.
00:26:11.030 --> 00:26:14.020
- OKAY, DO LARRY AGAIN FOR US.
00:26:14.040 --> 00:26:17.220
- [LARRY VOICE] LARRY IS WAY UP HERE.
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.130
I SHOVE IT RIGHT OUT MY NOSE.
00:26:19.150 --> 00:26:22.070
- SEE, BOB JUST COMES OUT OF YOU NATURALLY.
00:26:22.090 --> 00:26:25.030
- HI MATT!
00:26:25.050 --> 00:26:27.260
I CAN'T HELP IT, IT TAKES A LITTLE MORE EFFORT.
00:26:27.280 --> 00:26:31.130
AND PA GRAPE TAKES A WHOLE LOT OF WIND TO MAKE
00:26:31.150 --> 00:26:34.150
IT HAPPEN WHICH MAKES YOU TIRED BEFORE YOU FINISH A
00:26:34.170 --> 00:26:37.280
SENTENCE. AND JIMMY GOURD IS REALLY EASY.
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.070
IT'S WAY UP HERE.
00:26:40.090 --> 00:26:42.120
LIKE YOU KNOW, WELL, DIFFERENT THINGS.
00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:45.060
- OKAY, SO MIKE, THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE
00:26:45.080 --> 00:26:50.140
REBOOTED ALL OF THIS, IS IT LIKE RIDING A BIKE?
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:55.060
DID YOU JUMP RIGHT BACK ON THE BIKE AND GET AFTER
00:26:55.080 --> 00:26:57.150
THIS? OR WAS THERE, I MEAN ARE YOU LARRY?
00:26:57.170 --> 00:27:00.280
DO YOU KIND OF--
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:03.010
- OH, YEAH, WELL I FELT LIKE IT'S BEEN SUCH A PART
00:27:03.030 --> 00:27:05.170
OF MY LIFE, YOU KNOW,
00:27:05.190 --> 00:27:07.150
DECADES I WAS INVOLVED WITH VEGGIE TALES AS
00:27:07.170 --> 00:27:10.160
LARRY, SO WHEN I LEFT BIG IDEA FULL TIME IN 2016, I
00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:15.190
KIND OF HAD TO FIGURE OUT OKAY, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
00:27:15.210 --> 00:27:18.260
TO DO NOW WITH MY LIFE, AND GOD'S OPENED UP SOME
00:27:18.280 --> 00:27:21.060
OTHER REALLY WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES.
00:27:21.080 --> 00:27:23.120
BUT THEN WHEN THIS CAME BACK AROUND, THE
00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:26.000
OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE AND VOICE AGAIN FOR THIS
00:27:26.020 --> 00:27:29.100
CHARACTER AND THESE CHARACTERS THAT I'VE JUST
00:27:29.120 --> 00:27:31.050
GROWN TO LOVE OVER THE YEARS, IT WAS REALLY
00:27:31.070 --> 00:27:32.290
REALLY AMAZING FOR ME.
00:27:33.010 --> 00:27:34.230
- OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION.
00:27:34.250 --> 00:27:36.010
DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING
00:27:36.030 --> 00:27:37.220
DIFFERENT 20 YEARS LATER? WRITE DIFFERENTLY?
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:42.010
HOW DID THE CULTURE AND DID THAT--
00:27:42.030 --> 00:27:44.240
- YEAH. FOR ME, I REALLY WANTED TO BRING IN A DEEPER
00:27:44.260 --> 00:27:49.270
SENSE OF SPIRITUALITY TO MY WRITING BECAUSE WHEN
00:27:49.290 --> 00:27:52.130
I STARTED WRITING VEGGIE TALES, I WAS 25.
00:27:52.150 --> 00:27:54.200
WHAT DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE 25?
00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:56.130
HOW LONG HAVE YOU WALKED WITH JESUS AT 25?
00:27:56.150 --> 00:27:59.030
AND I'M 53 NOW. SO THERE'S A RICHNESS.
00:27:59.050 --> 00:28:03.200
IT'S EASY TO JUST ANSWER A QUESTION, OKAY,
00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:06.050
WHY SHOULD WE FORGIVE? BECAUSE GOD SAYS FORGIVE.
00:28:06.070 --> 00:28:08.180
WOO-HOO, THERE, WE'RE DONE!
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:10.040
BUT TO GO DEEPER WITH KIDS AND REALLY UNPACK
00:28:10.060 --> 00:28:13.040
WHAT DOES FORGIVENESS DO FOR YOU, HOW DOES THE
00:28:13.060 --> 00:28:16.090
HOLY SPIRIT BRING OUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IN
00:28:16.110 --> 00:28:19.110
US, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN DOING
00:28:19.130 --> 00:28:20.290
WHILE WRITING THIS IS GOING THROUGH THE FRUIT
00:28:21.010 --> 00:28:22.210
OF THE SPIRIT FOR EVERY VEGGIE TALES EPISODE, THE
00:28:22.230 --> 00:28:24.180
NEW ONES WE'RE DOING, GO THROUGH THE FRUIT OF THE
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.000
SPIRIT AND NOT JUST TAKE THEM AS VALUES BUT TAKE
00:28:27.020 --> 00:28:30.010
THEM AS CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD THAT WILL COME OUT
00:28:30.030 --> 00:28:34.010
OF US WHEN WE'RE WALKING WITH GOD.
00:28:34.030 --> 00:28:36.230
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S RICHER AND DEEPER
00:28:36.250 --> 00:28:39.020
THAT YOU CAN WRITE LATER IN YOUR LIFE WITH MORE
00:28:39.040 --> 00:28:43.000
DEPTH THAN YOU CAN WHEN YOU'RE YOUNGER.
00:28:43.020 --> 00:28:44.290
- SO YOU'VE RICHENED THE CONTENT.
00:28:45.010 --> 00:28:47.250
- YES.
00:28:47.270 --> 00:28:49.050
- FROM LIFE EXPERIENCE.
00:28:49.070 --> 00:28:50.150
- I'M GONNA SAY ENRICHED.
00:28:50.170 --> 00:28:52.120
- ENRICHED WOULD BE A BETTER WORD.
00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:53.250
- MAYBE. BUT I'M A WRITER SO.
00:28:53.270 --> 00:28:56.240
- WHAT DOES HE KNOW, HONEY?
00:28:56.260 --> 00:28:59.120
- OKAY. HAS THERE EVER BEEN LIKE A CONNECTION TO SOME
00:28:59.140 --> 00:29:06.290
REALLY KIND OF HORRIBLE THING IN YOUR LIFE THAT
00:29:07.010 --> 00:29:10.020
WAS THE IMPETUS TO WRITE SOMETHING THAT REALLY WAS
00:29:10.040 --> 00:29:15.200
EMOTIONALLY HARD FOR YOU TO WRITE BASED UPON YOU
00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:19.020
TRACKING IT TO SOME REAL LIFE SITUATION?
00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:22.010
- YEAH, I MEAN I'VE WRITTEN A COUPLE OF
00:29:22.030 --> 00:29:24.030
EPISODES WHERE BOB IS WRESTLING WITH LETTING GO
00:29:24.050 --> 00:29:28.080
OF A DREAM, AND I'VE HAD TO DO THAT IN MY LIFE.
00:29:28.100 --> 00:29:31.150
GOD HAS LED ME THROUGH THAT WHERE YOU SAY, WHERE
00:29:31.170 --> 00:29:33.280
GOD SAYS THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU,
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.150
ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT IT ON THE ALTAR?
00:29:36.170 --> 00:29:38.230
CAN YOU LET GO OF THAT AND LIVE WITHOUT IT?
00:29:38.250 --> 00:29:41.050
AND I FIND THAT'S SUCH A DEEP PART OF EVERYONE'S
00:29:41.070 --> 00:29:45.130
WALK WITH CHRIST. IT'S LIKE OKAY,
00:29:45.150 --> 00:29:48.190
ARE YOU REALLY GIVING HIM YOUR LIFE? SERIOUSLY.
00:29:48.210 --> 00:29:51.130
ARE YOU REALLY, IF WE CALL CHRIST LORD, WHAT
00:29:51.150 --> 00:29:54.070
DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN?
00:29:54.090 --> 00:29:55.230
IT'S NOT JUST A TITLE, IT'S A POSTURE.
00:29:55.250 --> 00:29:58.230
IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING, MY HOPES, MY DREAMS, MY
00:29:58.250 --> 00:30:01.290
GOALS, AM I GIVING THOSE TO JESUS AND SAYING
00:30:02.010 --> 00:30:06.000
THEY'RE YOURS TO WORRY ABOUT, THEY'RE NOT MINE.
00:30:06.020 --> 00:30:08.060
SO WRITING THAT INTO BOB AND GIVING BOB A GOAL, OR
00:30:08.080 --> 00:30:11.230
A DREAM, OR A HOPE THAT HE HAS TO LET GO OF, YOU
00:30:11.250 --> 00:30:14.170
KNOW, IT'S REALLY EASY TO WRITE THAT, BUT IT WILL
00:30:14.190 --> 00:30:17.200
GET TO ME WHEN I'M TRYING TO WRITE THAT DIALOGUE
00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:21.080
BECAUSE IT CAN BE SO PERSONAL FOR EVERYONE.
00:30:21.100 --> 00:30:24.160
WE'VE ALL HAD TO GIVE UP STUFF.
00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:25.280
- I LOVE THAT.
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:27.150
I LOVE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE OLDER YOU
00:30:27.170 --> 00:30:29.210
GET, IT'S LIKE THE MORE-- - EXPERIENCE.
00:30:29.230 --> 00:30:33.080
- THE MORE EXPERIENCE.
00:30:33.100 --> 00:30:34.150
- ACHES, PAINS.
00:30:34.170 --> 00:30:36.230
- AND TO WEAVE THAT INTO EVEN MORE OF AN
00:30:36.250 --> 00:30:39.150
ENRICHMENT FOR CHILDREN IS AMAZING.
00:30:39.170 --> 00:30:42.280
- WELL, WHEN GOD ALLOWS YOU TO LOSE SOMETHING--
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:47.040
BECAUSE I CREATED CHARACTERS, I ALWAYS
00:30:47.060 --> 00:30:49.060
VIEWED THEM AS MINE!
00:30:49.080 --> 00:30:50.290
I DREW BOB, I DREW LARRY, THEY'RE MINE! AND THEN--
00:30:51.010 --> 00:30:55.180
- I'VE EXPERIENCED THAT IN A BOARD MEETING WITH YOU.
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.170
- MINE!
00:30:57.190 --> 00:30:59.140
AND THEN YOU START TO REALIZE WOW, I'M SORT OF
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:02.100
RESEMBLING GOLLUM FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:05.080
I'M HANGING ON TO MY PRECIOUS.
00:31:05.100 --> 00:31:08.030
THIS IS MY PRECIOUS.
00:31:08.050 --> 00:31:09.280
AND TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.120
AND FOR ME IT HAD TO BE BANKRUPTCY.
00:31:12.140 --> 00:31:14.090
IT WAS LITERALLY LOSING THE COMPANY.
00:31:14.110 --> 00:31:16.130
THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY GOD COULD PRY MY FINGERS OFF
00:31:16.150 --> 00:31:20.140
SOMETHING THAT HAD BECOME AN IDOL, BECAUSE
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:22.090
AN IDOL ISN'T ALWAYS SOMETHING BAD.
00:31:22.110 --> 00:31:24.070
AN IDOL CAN BE SOMETHING GOOD THAT YOU MAKE ULTIMATE.
00:31:24.090 --> 00:31:27.140
ANYTHING, ANY GOOD THING, FAMILY CAN BE AN IDOL,
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.250
MINISTRY CAN BE AN IDOL, ANY GOOD THING THAT
00:31:30.270 --> 00:31:34.030
BECOMES AN ULTIMATE THING IS NOW AN IDOL.
00:31:34.050 --> 00:31:37.050
AND TIM KELLER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PREACHERS,
00:31:37.070 --> 00:31:39.290
AND HE'LL SAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN GOD THAT
00:31:40.010 --> 00:31:41.240
BECOMES ULTIMATE WILL LET YOU DOWN
00:31:41.260 --> 00:31:44.200
AND BREAK YOUR HEART.
00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:45.280
- MATT: OH, MY GOODNESS.
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:47.090
- THAT'S WHY WE ALWAYS WANT TO KEEP GOD
00:31:47.110 --> 00:31:48.190
AS THE ULTIMATE THING.
00:31:48.210 --> 00:31:49.290
IT'S NOT BECAUSE HE'S JEALOUS AND HE DOESN'T
00:31:50.010 --> 00:31:52.020
WANT YOU TO HAVE FUN WITH YOUR DREAMS.
00:31:52.040 --> 00:31:54.080
IT'S BECAUSE ANYTHING OTHER THAN HIM WILL BREAK
00:31:54.100 --> 00:31:56.090
YOUR HEART BECAUSE IT WILL LET YOU DOWN.
00:31:56.110 --> 00:31:58.220
SO IN A REAL SENSE, MY OWN DREAM OF BUILDING A
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:02.250
DISNEY FOR GOD, OF BEING WALT DISNEY FOR GOD,
00:32:02.270 --> 00:32:07.060
BROKE MY HEART BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY IT COULD
00:32:07.080 --> 00:32:10.120
FULFILL THAT-- THE THING THAT ONLY GOD CAN FULFILL.
00:32:10.140 --> 00:32:13.260
SO COMING BACK, GETTING A SECOND CHANCE TO WRITE
00:32:13.280 --> 00:32:16.060
FOR THE CHARACTERS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T WRITTEN
00:32:16.080 --> 00:32:17.230
ANYTHING FOR BOB AND LARRY IN TEN YEARS,
00:32:17.250 --> 00:32:19.260
INDIANA JONES, LOCKED AWAY IN THE BIG THING,
00:32:19.280 --> 00:32:22.120
I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT. NO MORE BOB AND LARRY.
00:32:22.140 --> 00:32:24.220
SO TO GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO WRITE FOR THE
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:26.200
CHARACTERS BUT HOLDING THEM LOOSELY.
00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:29.170
I HAD A MOMENT WHERE I WAS KICKING MYSELF AFTER
00:32:29.190 --> 00:32:31.170
I'D LOST THE CHARACTERS IN BANKRUPTCY, AND I
00:32:31.190 --> 00:32:33.170
THOUGHT I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THEM ANYMORE,
00:32:33.190 --> 00:32:35.140
I LOST CONTROL OF THE CHARACTERS.
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:36.260
THE CIHLDREN NEED THE CHARACTERS, NOW I
00:32:36.280 --> 00:32:39.050
LOST CONTROL OF THEM! OH, HOW TERRIBLE OF ME!
00:32:39.070 --> 00:32:42.040
AND I WAS PRAYING ABOUT THAT, AND GOD SAID
00:32:42.060 --> 00:32:44.010
SOMETHING TO ME THAT REALLY JUST KNOCKED ME DOWN.
00:32:44.030 --> 00:32:46.250
HE SAID DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU WERE EVER IN CONTROL?
00:32:46.270 --> 00:32:50.110
LIKE, YOU THINK THEY WERE YOUR CHARACTERS?
00:32:50.130 --> 00:32:53.190
THAT YOU WERE CONTROLLING?
00:32:53.210 --> 00:32:56.090
I REALIZED NO, THEY WERE NEVER MY CHARACTERS.
00:32:56.110 --> 00:32:59.010
THEY WERE ALWAYS YOUR CHARACTERS.
00:32:59.030 --> 00:33:01.060
YOU WERE ALWAYS IN CONTROL.
00:33:01.080 --> 00:33:02.240
AND THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY I COULD MAKE PEACE WITH
00:33:02.260 --> 00:33:04.260
HAVING LOST THEM WAS THEY'RE GOD'S CHARACTERS,
00:33:04.280 --> 00:33:08.050
THEY WERE ALWAYS GOD'S CHARACTERS.
00:33:08.070 --> 00:33:09.200
SO TO HAVE THEM COME BACK AND THEY'RE NOT,
00:33:09.220 --> 00:33:11.260
AGAIN I DON'T OWN THEM.
00:33:11.280 --> 00:33:13.080
THEY'RE NOT MINE, BUT TO BE INVITED TO STEWARD
00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:17.160
THEM AGAIN IS LIKE GOD WANTS TO RECONCILE ALL
00:33:17.180 --> 00:33:22.140
THINGS, AND THERE WAS SOMETHING BROKEN ABOUT MY
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.140
RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE CHARACTERS THAT GOD IS
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:26.230
RECONCILING, SAYING YOU CAN SPEAK FOR THEM AGAIN.
00:33:26.250 --> 00:33:30.190
- IT'S NOT OWNERSHIP, IT IS STEWARDSHIP, BECAUSE
00:33:30.210 --> 00:33:33.200
WE DON'T OWN ANYTHING.
00:33:33.220 --> 00:33:35.040

00:33:36.180 --> 00:33:38.150

BIG IN THE EARLY 2.000S CAME ON AND IT JUST

REALLY, IT'S OF COURSE THIS IS NOT MINE, GOD IS
00:33:51.010 --> 00:33:55.080
ULTIMATELY THE ONE THAT OWNS THIS.
00:33:55.100 --> 00:33:57.180

OKAY, WE STARTED WITH CHRISTMAS.
00:36:25.180 --> 00:36:28.270
- I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE GONNA DO-- THEY SAID
00:36:28.290 --> 00:36:31.180
WE'RE GONNA WRITE A BUNCH OF NEW VEGGIES.
00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:33.080
BY THE WAY, CAN YOU WRITE A CHRISTMAS ONE FIRST SO
00:36:33.100 --> 00:36:35.210
WE CAN GET THAT GOING.
00:36:35.230 --> 00:36:37.100
AND I THOUGHT, I MEAN I'VE WRITTEN THREE VEGGIE
00:36:37.120 --> 00:36:39.120
TALES CHRISTMAS SPECIALS.
00:36:39.140 --> 00:36:40.220
HOW MANY HAVE YOU WRITTEN?
00:36:40.240 --> 00:36:41.220
- UM...
00:36:41.240 --> 00:36:43.020
- 17? IT'S A LOT. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY?
00:36:43.040 --> 00:36:47.150
AND THEN SOMETHING OCCURRED TO ME.
00:36:47.170 --> 00:36:49.040
I HAD WRITTEN A BLOG POST ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS
00:36:49.060 --> 00:36:53.120
AFTER COLUMBINE. NOT COLUMBINE, SANDY HOOK.
00:36:53.140 --> 00:36:57.020
THE SANDY HOOK SHOOTINGS, WHICH WERE A BRUTALLY
00:36:57.040 --> 00:36:59.030
HARD TIME FOR THE COUNTRY.
00:36:59.050 --> 00:37:00.290
AND I NOTICED SANDY HOOK HAPPENED IN EARLY
00:37:01.010 --> 00:37:03.070
DECEMBER, AND I'M WATCHING THE NEWS, AND
00:37:03.090 --> 00:37:05.280
PEOPLE WERE SAYING I THINK WE'RE GONNA TAKE
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.170
DOWN OUR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS BECAUSE WE
00:37:08.190 --> 00:37:10.140
JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, HOW CAN WE CELEBRATE
00:37:10.160 --> 00:37:12.090
CHRISTMAS AFTER SOMETHING THAT TERRIBLE HAPPENS.
00:37:12.110 --> 00:37:15.220
AND IT JUST STRUCK ME THAT THAT'S EXACTLY WHY
00:37:15.240 --> 00:37:20.080
WE SHOULD CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS.
00:37:20.100 --> 00:37:22.020
CHRISTMAS IS THE STORY OF GOD BREAKING IN TO A
00:37:22.040 --> 00:37:25.120
BROKEN WORLD TO MAKE IT WHOLE.
00:37:25.140 --> 00:37:28.030
CHRISTMAS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END
00:37:28.050 --> 00:37:31.040
WHERE HE'S GOING TO SET EVERYTHING RIGHT, WHERE
00:37:31.060 --> 00:37:34.060
THE TEARS, ALL THE HURTING IS GONNA GO AWAY,
00:37:34.080 --> 00:37:37.130
SO WHAT BETTER TIME IS THERE TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
00:37:37.150 --> 00:37:40.270
THAN AFTER SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAS HAPPENED.
00:37:40.290 --> 00:37:43.150
THEN I REMEMBER I GOT AN EMAIL FROM AN OLD FRIEND
00:37:43.170 --> 00:37:45.240
WHOSE WIFE HAD JUST DIED OF CANCER LIKE THE SAME
00:37:45.260 --> 00:37:49.250
WEEK, AND HE WAS FACING HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS
00:37:49.270 --> 00:37:51.230
WITHOUT HIS WIFE, AND HE JUST SAID THANK YOU, THAT
00:37:51.250 --> 00:37:53.260
IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED.
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:56.010
WE'RE GONNA PUT UP OUR CHRISTMAS TREE BECAUSE
00:37:56.030 --> 00:37:58.050
WE HAVE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE.
00:37:58.070 --> 00:37:59.230
SO WHEN THEY SAID WHAT COULD THIS NEW VEGGIE
00:37:59.250 --> 00:38:01.170
BE ABOUT, I THOUGHT IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE
00:38:01.190 --> 00:38:03.270
THAT MESSAGE WORK FOR KIDS.
00:38:03.290 --> 00:38:06.180
IF YOU'RE A KID AND YOUR DAD LOST HIS JOB
00:38:06.200 --> 00:38:08.140
RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
00:38:08.160 --> 00:38:10.000
IF SOMETHING BAD HAS HAPPENED AT SCHOOL RIGHT
00:38:10.020 --> 00:38:11.270
BEFORE CHRISTMAS, DO YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE
00:38:11.290 --> 00:38:13.230
CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS.
00:38:13.250 --> 00:38:15.170
BUT WHEN YOU GIVE KIDS THIS KINGDOM PERSPECTIVE
00:38:15.190 --> 00:38:18.200
THAT JESUS' COMING WASN'T JUST SO YOU COULD
00:38:18.220 --> 00:38:21.010
HANG DECORATIONS. JESUS' COMING WAS THE
00:38:21.030 --> 00:38:24.140
BEGINNING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT'S GONNA
00:38:24.160 --> 00:38:26.020
SET EVERYTHING RIGHT,
00:38:26.040 --> 00:38:27.200
THAT'S GONNA MAKE ALL THE SAD UNTRUE.
00:38:27.220 --> 00:38:30.040
- REDEMPTION.
00:38:30.060 --> 00:38:31.170
- YEAH, SO THAT'S WHAT THE STORY IS ABOUT AT A
00:38:31.190 --> 00:38:33.240

00:38:33.260 --> 00:38:36.110

00:38:36.130 --> 00:38:38.260
IN A WORLD WHERE THINGS ALWAYS GO WRONG.
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:41.010

00:38:49.290 --> 00:38:51.240
- NO, I'M TOTALLY FAN-BOYING RIGHT NOW.
00:38:51.260 --> 00:38:53.270
WHEN YOU CAME INTO MY OFFICE THE FIRST TIME,
00:38:53.290 --> 00:38:57.000
I MADE HIM GET A CUE CARD AND DRAW BOB AND LARRY
00:38:57.020 --> 00:39:02.090

00:41:58.160 --> 00:42:00.050
- NO, I KNOW HOW TO SAY IT.
00:42:00.070 --> 00:42:01.200
HOW DO YOU DO THAT LITTLE FUNNY THING?
00:42:01.220 --> 00:42:02.260
- ROCKI WITH A 'NAW'.
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:04.050
- ROCKI WITH A 'NAW', OKAY.
00:42:04.070 --> 00:42:05.200
AND SO YOU GUYS, THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS.

- PHIL VISCHER WITH A 'VI'.
00:42:07.140 --> 00:42:08.200
[LAUGHTER]
00:42:08.220 --> 00:42:10.080
- VISCHER WITH A VI.
00:42:10.100 --> 00:42:11.170
- VISCHER WITH A VI.
00:42:11.190 --> 00:42:13.040
- SO WE WANT TO FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE MAKING SURE
00:42:13.060 --> 00:42:16.150
EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT WE'VE GOT YIPEE,
00:42:16.170 --> 00:42:20.240
HIT ME A YIPEE.
00:42:20.260 --> 00:42:21.260
- YIPEE! - YIPEE!
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:25.080
- OKAY, WE'RE DOING YIPEE, AND THAT IS A BRAND NEW SVOD
00:42:25.100 --> 00:42:29.210
SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE VEGGIE TALES STUFF IN ONE

PLACE, SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE IT AND THROW IT UP ON THE TV

OR THROW IT INTO THIS DEVICE OR THAT DEVICE OR
00:42:36.040 --> 00:42:38.000
THE OTHER DEVICE.
00:42:38.020 --> 00:42:39.150
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
00:42:39.170 --> 00:42:40.280
WE ARE VERY EXCITED, 26 BRAND NEW EPISODESS ARE UNDER
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:44.210
WAY, AND THEY WILL BE COMING TO YOU.
00:42:44.230 --> 00:42:46.200
ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW YOU CAN GET YIPEE
00:42:46.220 --> 00:42:48.190
IS ON THE SCREEN.
00:42:48.210 --> 00:42:50.120
OKAY, YOU DID A BIBLE.
00:42:50.140 --> 00:42:51.290
- I DID. - OKAY.
00:42:52.010 --> 00:42:53.110
- WE LOVE IT.
00:42:53.130 --> 00:42:55.020
- HELP US. GO TO SQUARE ONE OF THIS THING, SO WHAT HAPPENED?
00:42:55.040 --> 00:43:01.110
- OKAY, SO AFTER THE BANKRUPTCY AND I
00:43:01.130 --> 00:43:03.240
LOST MY VEGETABLES.
00:43:03.260 --> 00:43:05.020
[LAUGHTER]
00:43:05.040 --> 00:43:06.270
IT'S LIKE I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO, SO I'M
00:43:06.290 --> 00:43:09.030
PRAYING ABOUT IT, AND I FELT GOD TELLING ME, TAKE KIDS
00:43:09.050 --> 00:43:14.050
DEEPER IN THEIR FAITH.
00:43:14.070 --> 00:43:15.240
TAKE THEM DEEPER INTO THE BIBLE, DEEPER THAN YOU CAN
00:43:15.260 --> 00:43:18.040
WITH JUST BOUNCY, HAPPY PRESCHOOL VEGETABLES.
00:43:18.060 --> 00:43:22.000
SO I DID A SERIES CALLED "WHAT'S IN THE BIBLE" THAT
00:43:22.020 --> 00:43:24.170
WALKED KIDS THROUGH THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION
00:43:24.190 --> 00:43:27.020
AND TRIED TO ANSWER THEIR BIG QUESTIONS AND MENTIONED
00:43:27.040 --> 00:43:29.050
EVERY SINGLE BOOK.
00:43:29.070 --> 00:43:31.000
AND THAT TOOK FIVE YEARS TO MAKE THAT, IT'S A DVD SERIES.
00:43:31.020 --> 00:43:33.150
AND AFTER THAT WAS DONE, ONE THING YOU LEARN WHEN YOU TRY
00:43:33.170 --> 00:43:37.070
TO TEACH SOMETHING IS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT
00:43:37.090 --> 00:43:39.090
IT AS YOU THOUGHT YOU DID.
00:43:39.110 --> 00:43:40.290
SO TRYING TO TEACH THE ENTIRE BIBLE TO KIDS,
00:43:41.010 --> 00:43:44.000
I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THE BIBLE.
00:43:44.020 --> 00:43:46.090
AND AFTER IT WAS DONE...
00:43:46.110 --> 00:43:47.230
- WAY BETTER THAN BIBLE SCHOOL.
00:43:47.250 --> 00:43:49.080
- IT WAS BETTER THAN BIBLE SCHOOL, YEAH, BECAUSE YOU
00:43:49.100 --> 00:43:51.000
DON'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION.
00:43:51.020 --> 00:43:52.280
IN BIBLE SCHOOL, THEY DON'T -- ATTENTION IS
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:55.000
NOT REQUIRED.
00:43:55.020 --> 00:43:56.180
AND NEITHER WITH CHAPEL ATTENDANCE, ATTENTION IS NOT.
00:43:56.200 --> 00:43:59.110
SO I THOUGHT WHAT IF WE COULD TAKE ALL OF THAT
00:43:59.130 --> 00:44:01.270
INFORMATION AND PUT IT INTO AN ACTUAL STORY
00:44:01.290 --> 00:44:03.120
BOOK BIBLE FOR KIDS.
00:44:03.140 --> 00:44:05.120
SO THE LAST AND LEARN BIBLE FOR KIDS IS 52 STORIES FROM
00:44:05.140 --> 00:44:07.190
THE BIBLE STARTING WITH THE STORY OF CREATION, ENDING
00:44:07.210 --> 00:44:10.090
WITH THE NEW CREATION, THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH AT THE
00:44:10.110 --> 00:44:12.210
END OF REVELATION.
00:44:12.230 --> 00:44:14.180
AND THEY'RE LITTLE FIVE MINUTE STORIES THAT YOU CAN
00:44:14.200 --> 00:44:16.250
READ TO YOUR KIDS ARE GRAND KIDS BEFORE BED OR AFTER
00:44:16.270 --> 00:44:18.260
DINNER AND THE KEY IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS QUITE
00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:22.210
OFTEN WHEN WE TEACH KIDS THE BIBLE, WE DO ONE
00:44:22.230 --> 00:44:24.120
OF TWO THINGS.
00:44:24.140 --> 00:44:26.040
EITHER WE DROP A FULL TEXT KING JAMES IN THEIR LAB AND
00:44:26.060 --> 00:44:29.040
SAY, "GOOD LUCK, KIDS." AND LIKE THE ISRAELITES THEY DIE
00:44:29.060 --> 00:44:31.230
IN THE DESERT IN THE MIDDLE OF LEVITICUS SOMEWHERE.
00:44:31.250 --> 00:44:34.130
OR WE JUST PICK AND CHOOSE A FEW LITTLE STORIES, AND THEY
00:44:34.150 --> 00:44:38.050
GET THE FUN ONES.
00:44:38.070 --> 00:44:39.250
THEY GET NOAH'S ARK, THEY GET DANIEL IN THE LION'S
00:44:39.270 --> 00:44:41.210
DEN, ANYTHING WITH AN ANIMAL IN IT.
00:44:41.230 --> 00:44:43.100
WE GIVE THEM THOSE STORIES.
00:44:43.120 --> 00:44:45.050
AND WHAT THEY MISS IS THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT
00:44:45.070 --> 00:44:47.220
ACTUALLY MAKE THE BIBLE ONE COHESIVE STORY.
00:44:47.240 --> 00:44:50.030
AND WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THAT BIG MACRO STORY, LIKE WHAT
00:44:50.050 --> 00:44:53.130
IS THE STORY OF THE BIBLE?
00:44:53.150 --> 00:44:54.290
WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THAT STORY, THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:44:55.010 --> 00:44:57.070
CAPTURE YOUR HEART.
00:44:57.090 --> 00:44:59.070
AND IF THE BIBLE DOESN'T CAPTURE KIDS' HEARTS,
00:44:59.090 --> 00:45:01.270
SOMETHING ELSE WILL, SO THEY'LL TURN TO STAR WARS.
00:45:01.290 --> 00:45:04.150
THEY'LL TURN TO LORD OF THE RINGS.
00:45:04.170 --> 00:45:06.210
THEY'LL TURN TO HARRY POTTER.
00:45:06.230 --> 00:45:08.160
THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF A BIG STORY.
00:45:08.180 --> 00:45:10.270
SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO WITH THIS IS GIVE THEM THE
00:45:10.290 --> 00:45:14.020
STORY OF THE ENTIRE BIBLE IN A WAY THAT'S ACCESSIBLE TO
00:45:14.040 --> 00:45:17.150
THEM SO THEY UNDERSTAND THE BIG STORY, AND THEN THEY CAN
00:45:17.170 --> 00:45:21.010
FIND THEIR OWN PLACE IN IT.
00:45:21.030 --> 00:45:23.110
AND IF THEY CAN FIND THEIR PLACE IN THE GOSPEL, IN THE
00:45:23.130 --> 00:45:26.190
STORY OF THE BIBLE, THEY CAN BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR THEIR
00:45:26.210 --> 00:45:29.190
FAITH THAT WILL LAST THEIR WHOLE LIVES.
00:45:29.210 --> 00:45:31.110
- I LOVE THAT.
00:45:31.130 --> 00:45:33.110
- WE'RE HOLDING IN YOUR HANDS, THE LAUGH AND LEARN
00:45:33.130 --> 00:45:35.040
BIBLE FOR KIDS.
00:45:35.060 --> 00:45:36.250
PHIL VISCHER, THIS IS CURRENTLY ON AMAZON, SO
00:45:36.270 --> 00:45:39.150
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ANOTHER CLIP FROM THE BRAND NEW
00:45:39.170 --> 00:45:43.220
VEGGIE TALES, THE CHRISTMAS EDITION.
00:45:43.240 --> 00:45:45.210
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THAT, BUT BEFORE WE DO, I WANT TO
00:45:45.230 --> 00:45:48.120
BASICALLY -- YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS KIND OF
00:45:48.140 --> 00:45:54.240
UNIQUENESS OF BEING ABLE TO CELEBRATE IN
00:45:54.260 --> 00:45:57.200
THE MIDST OF THAT.
00:45:57.220 --> 00:45:59.290
THAT INSPIRATION LED TO THE CLIP.
00:46:00.030 --> 00:46:05.060
THIS PIECE THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT HERE, THE MESSIAH IS
00:46:05.080 --> 00:46:08.200
BORN, TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THAT'S A
00:46:08.220 --> 00:46:12.100
SUPER INTERESTING PIECE, THIS CONNECTIVE PIECE TO THE
00:46:12.120 --> 00:46:16.230
TRAGEDIES THAT YOU WERE WATCHING IN REAL LIFE AND
00:46:16.250 --> 00:46:18.240
THE ABILITY TO CELEBRATE.
00:46:18.260 --> 00:46:20.220
- QUITE OFTEN WE SIMPLIFY CHRISTMAS SO
00:46:20.240 --> 00:46:22.210
MUCH FOR LITTLE KIDS. IT'S JESUS' BIRTHDAY.
00:46:22.230 --> 00:46:24.230
IT'S JUST JESUS' BIRTHDAY.
00:46:24.250 --> 00:46:26.170
OKAY, AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT WHY?
00:46:26.190 --> 00:46:30.180
WELL, HERE'S ANOTHER NAME FOR JESUS, MESSIAH.
00:46:30.200 --> 00:46:32.260
WHAT DOES MESSIAH MEAN?
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:35.100
IT MEANS CHOSEN ONE, SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN CHOSEN FOR
00:46:35.120 --> 00:46:38.180
SOMETHING AMAZING, ANOINTED ONE.
00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:40.200
IT'S LIKE A KING. YOU'RE ANOINTED AS A KING.
00:46:40.220 --> 00:46:42.180
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:46:42.200 --> 00:46:44.000
WELL, HERE'S ANOTHER NAME FOR JESUS, EMMANUEL.
00:46:44.020 --> 00:46:46.030
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? GOD WITH US.
00:46:46.050 --> 00:46:48.190
SO YOU START UNPACKING ALL OF THESE NAME, THESE WORDS
00:46:48.210 --> 00:46:51.190
THAT ARE APPLIED TO JESUS, AND SUDDENLY IT'S NOT JUST,
00:46:51.210 --> 00:46:54.100
HEY, THERE'S A BABY, AND IT'S A BIRTHDAY, BUT THERE'S
00:46:54.120 --> 00:46:57.180
A NEW KING, WHICH MEANS THERE'S A NEW KINGDOM, AND
00:46:57.200 --> 00:47:01.060
YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT.
00:47:01.080 --> 00:47:02.260
YOU'RE INVITED TO BE A PART OF THIS KINGDOM.
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:04.140
WHEN YOU GIVE KIDS THAT RICH THEOLOGY, THE HOLIDAY ISN'T
00:47:04.160 --> 00:47:08.190
JUST A HOLIDAY. IT'S A HOLY DAY.
00:47:08.210 --> 00:47:11.110
IT'S A CELEBRATION OF SOMETHING REALLY BIG, AND
00:47:11.130 --> 00:47:14.250
KIDS LOVE BEING PART OF SOMETHING REALLY BIG.
00:47:14.270 --> 00:47:17.180
- WHEN YOU'RE TALKING --
00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:19.260
- I SOUND LIKE BOB.
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.100
- NO, I WAS JUST WONDERING, YOU SAY VERY IMPORTANT THINGS.
00:47:22.120 --> 00:47:27.140
YOU'RE A WORD SMITH, YOU'RE A WRITER, SO YOU'RE VERY

GOOD AND ARTICULATE, YOU DO WHAT YOU DO.
00:47:30.130 --> 00:47:33.260
BUT WHEN DO YOU HIT ONE OF YOUR CHARACTER'S VOICES, DO
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:36.220
YOU KNOW IT IN YOUR HEAD?
00:47:36.240 --> 00:47:38.040
- NO, NOT USUALLY.
00:47:38.060 --> 00:47:39.210
- SO YOU DIDN'T GO OH, THAT WAS GOURD?
00:47:39.230 --> 00:47:41.280
[LAUGHTER]
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:43.200
- PEOPLE POINT THAT OUT AFTERWARDS.
00:47:43.220 --> 00:47:46.040
- [TALKING LIKE JIMMY GOURD] OH, THAT SOUNDED
00:47:46.060 --> 00:47:47.200
LIKE JIMMY GOURD.
00:47:47.220 --> 00:47:49.090
YEAH, I'M TRYING TO BE IMPORTANT HERE SO IF YOU CAN
00:47:49.110 --> 00:47:51.130
JUST STAY WITH ME, STAY WITH ME, MATT, HERE.
00:47:51.150 --> 00:47:53.250
[LAUGHTER]
00:47:53.270 --> 00:47:57.050
- I'M SUCH A FAN OF YOU GUYS.
00:47:57.070 --> 00:47:59.030
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
00:47:59.050 --> 00:48:00.290
OKAY, THE MESSIAH IS BORN, FROM THE BRAND NEW EPISODE
00:48:01.010 --> 00:48:04.070
OF VEGGIE TALES AVAILABLE NOW. WATCH THIS.
00:48:04.090 --> 00:48:07.270
- AND THE MESSIAH IS COMING TO MAKE IT RIGHT, TO FIX IT,
00:48:07.290 --> 00:48:12.060
TO HEAL EVERYTHING.
00:48:12.080 --> 00:48:14.290
- WHOA! BUT HOW CAN ONE PERSON DO THAT?
00:48:15.010 --> 00:48:19.100
- BECAUSE THAT BABY IN THERE, THAT BABY
00:48:19.120 --> 00:48:21.260
ISN'T JUST A PERSON.
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:24.170
THAT BABY IS ALSO GOD, AND HE HAS THE POWER
00:48:24.190 --> 00:48:29.120
TO HEAL EVERYTHING.
00:48:29.140 --> 00:48:32.080
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
00:48:32.100 --> 00:48:34.010
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS HERE.
00:48:34.030 --> 00:48:36.000
THAT BABY WILL GROW UP TO HEAL PEOPLE, TO MAKE BLIND
00:48:36.020 --> 00:48:39.090
PEOPLE SEE AND LAME PEOPLE WALK, TO SHOW US WHAT LIFE
00:48:39.110 --> 00:48:43.030
IS LIKE WHEN ALL THE BAD STUFF IS WIPED AWAY.
00:48:43.050 --> 00:48:46.210
AND WE CAN JOIN HIM.
00:48:46.230 --> 00:48:49.130
WE CAN HELP SPREAD THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:48:49.150 --> 00:48:52.030
THE PROMISE OF CHRISTMAS IS GOD WITH US IN THE BAD TIMES
00:48:52.050 --> 00:48:57.020
AND GOD WITH US TO END THE BAD TIMES.
00:48:57.040 --> 00:49:01.020
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS HERE.
00:49:01.040 --> 00:49:03.030

IN THE GAME, SERIOUSLY.
00:49:12.200 --> 00:49:15.150
IT'S RICHER AND DEEPER OF A SUBJECT KNOWING THE JOURNEY
00:49:15.170 --> 00:49:22.040
THAT EVEN YOU GUYS SPECIFICALLY HAD.
00:49:22.060 --> 00:49:26.120
PHIL AND MIKE ARE REAL PEOPLE, AND THEY LITERALLY
00:49:26.140 --> 00:49:31.050
HAVE BEEN IN QUITE AN EPIC JOURNEY NOW.
00:49:31.070 --> 00:49:35.130
AT SOME POINT, THIS FEELS LIKE A REBIRTHING OF THE
00:49:35.150 --> 00:49:40.200
VEGGIE TALES THING BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE THE CENTER
00:49:40.220 --> 00:49:43.280

- YEAH, REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
00:49:49.260 --> 00:49:52.090
- I'VE NEVER SAID THE TERM 'DEAD SEA SQUIRREL', SO WHY
00:49:52.110 --> 00:49:56.240
AM I SAYING 'DEAD SEA SQUIRREL'?
00:49:56.260 --> 00:49:58.290
[LAUGHTER]
00:49:59.010 --> 00:50:00.150
- THOSE ARE MY NEW BOOKS.

BASICALLY, FIRST THROUGH FIFTH GRADE, STARRING
00:50:05.150 --> 00:50:08.040
MICHAEL, MICHAEL GOMEZ.
00:50:08.060 --> 00:50:11.030
AND HE SPENDS THE SUMMER WITH HIS DAD WHO'S AN
00:50:11.050 --> 00:50:14.060
ANTHROPOLOGIST IN ISRAEL, AND HE AND HIS FRIEND JUSTIN
00:50:14.080 --> 00:50:17.070
ARE EXPLORING A CAVE, AND THEY COME ACROSS TWO
00:50:17.090 --> 00:50:19.030
SALT-ENCRUSTED, DEHYDRATED SQUIRRELS.
00:50:19.050 --> 00:50:21.270
- OF COURSE THEY DO.
00:50:21.290 --> 00:50:24.020
- AND MICHAEL THINKS THEY'RE THE COOLEST
00:50:24.040 --> 00:50:25.180
THINGS HE'S EVER SEEN.
00:50:25.200 --> 00:50:27.150
JUSTIN THINKS THEY'RE DISGUSTING, BUT MICHAEL
00:50:27.170 --> 00:50:29.060
STASHES THEM IN HIS BACKPACK AND SNEAKS THEM BACK HOME TO
00:50:29.080 --> 00:50:30.260
TENNESSEE, AND THEY REHYDRATE AND
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.290
COME BACK TO LIFE.
00:50:33.010 --> 00:50:34.240
AND IT'S AN OLD JEWISH COUPLE, MERLE AND PEARL
00:50:34.260 --> 00:50:36.220

APOSTLES TO THE MODERN WORLD.
00:50:49.040 --> 00:50:51.120
AND THE THINGS THAT MICHAEL STRUGGLES WITH AS A FIFTH
00:50:51.140 --> 00:50:54.110
GRADER THEY CAN SPEAK INTO THAT WITH BIBLE LESSONS THAT
00:50:54.130 --> 00:50:57.210
THEY REMEMBER FROM BACK IN THE DAY.

SPRING, AND I'M WORKING ON THE NEXT 8 RIGHT NOW.
00:51:07.220 --> 00:51:10.270
- BEAUTIFUL. DEAD SEA SQUIRRELS BY MIKE NAWROCKI.
00:51:10.290 --> 00:51:14.250
OKAY, NOW, ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENT?
00:51:14.270 --> 00:51:17.140
WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THE SET UP.
00:51:17.160 --> 00:51:19.140
WALK US THROUGH WHAT THE JOURNEY OF BOB AND LARRY
00:51:19.160 --> 00:51:23.120
HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS.
00:51:23.140 --> 00:51:25.190
- YEAH, THIS IS COOL.
00:51:25.210 --> 00:51:27.120
SO I STARTED TALKING WITH THE FOLK AT TBN, BECAUSE
00:51:27.140 --> 00:51:32.030
YOU'VE PUT TOGETHER A TEAM TO SPEAR HEAD THIS WHOLE
00:51:32.050 --> 00:51:34.180
THING, AND I'M PART OF THAT TEAM.
00:51:34.200 --> 00:51:36.200
AND THEY SAID, HERE'S AN IDEA THAT WE HAD.
00:51:36.220 --> 00:51:39.040
WHAT IF THEY WERE IN AN OLD THEATER DOING A VARIETY SHOW?
00:51:39.060 --> 00:51:41.240
AND I SAID, KIND OF LIKE THE MUPPET SHOW?
00:51:41.260 --> 00:51:44.260
AND THEY SAID, YEAH, KIND OF LIKE THE MUPPET SHOW.
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:47.100
AND I WAS LIKE, I LOVE THAT IDEA BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAD
00:51:47.120 --> 00:51:49.080
THAT IDEA LIKE 15 YEARS AGO BECAUSE THE MUPPET SHOW WAS
00:51:49.100 --> 00:51:52.110
MY FAVORITE SHOW WHEN I WAS A KIDSGROWING UP.
00:51:52.130 --> 00:51:54.110
AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN TO DO THAT AND
00:51:54.130 --> 00:51:57.180
DO A VARIETY SHOW FORMAT BECAUSE YOU COULD DO MORE
00:51:57.200 --> 00:52:00.120
SIMPLER SHORTER SEGMENTS, WHICH ALWAYS MEANS YOU CAN
00:52:00.140 --> 00:52:02.060
BE SILLIER IN SHORTER SEGMENTS.
00:52:02.080 --> 00:52:04.010
- YEAH, WITH THE SHOW, WITH VEGGIE TALES SHOW, WE'D END
00:52:04.030 --> 00:52:05.170
UP GOING BACK AND REBUILDING BIG ELABORATE SETS IF WE'RE
00:52:05.190 --> 00:52:09.110
GOING BACK TO BIBLE TIMES.
00:52:09.130 --> 00:52:11.160
TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT IN STAGE CRAFT ON A THEATER
00:52:11.180 --> 00:52:13.170
STAGE BECOMES A REALLY PRACTICAL WAY TO DO IT.
00:52:13.190 --> 00:52:15.260
- BUT EVEN MORE FUN, IT MEANS YOU CANNOT ONLY SEE
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:18.090
WHAT'S GOING ON IN FRONT OF THE CURTAIN,
00:52:18.110 --> 00:52:20.030
YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE CURTAIN WHEN THE
00:52:20.050 --> 00:52:22.040
SHOW ISN'T GOING WELL BACKSTAGE BECAUSE BOB, YOU
00:52:22.060 --> 00:52:24.210
KNOW LIKE KERMIT THE FROG IN CLASSIC MUPPETS SHOW, IS
00:52:24.230 --> 00:52:27.200
TRYING TO GET THE SHOW ON TIME, AND EVERYTHING'S GOING
00:52:27.220 --> 00:52:30.210
WRONG, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT HAPPEN.
00:52:30.230 --> 00:52:32.210
SO IT WAS A WAY TO BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO IT, NEW ENERGY
00:52:32.230 --> 00:52:37.000
INTO IT WHILE ALSO MAKING IT FEEL VERY FAMILIAR.
00:52:37.020 --> 00:52:39.200
IT'S STILL ABOUT BOB AND LARRY PUTTING ON A SHOW.
00:52:39.220 --> 00:52:41.220
- THEY STILL GET A LETTER FROM A CHILD AT THE BEGINNING.
00:52:41.240 --> 00:52:43.290
- AND HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ANSWER THE LETTER.
00:52:44.010 --> 00:52:46.100
AND THEY CAN TELL A BIBLE STORY IN EVERY SINGLE SHOW
00:52:46.120 --> 00:52:49.060
AND WRAP IT UP WITH A SONG AND A VERSE AND A
00:52:49.080 --> 00:52:52.060
LESSON FOR THE KID.
00:52:52.080 --> 00:52:54.020
BUT IT'S IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CONTEXT WHICH
00:52:54.040 --> 00:52:56.030
CREATES JUST NEW CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES.
00:52:56.050 --> 00:52:58.080
- HAVE YOU EVER SAID TO MIKE, THAT'S A SILLY SONG,
00:52:58.100 --> 00:53:02.060
BUT JUST TOO SILLY?
00:53:02.080 --> 00:53:04.040
- QUITE A FEW TIMES. [LAUGHTER] QUITE A FEW TIMES.
00:53:04.060 --> 00:53:07.040
- NOT TOO SILLY.
00:53:07.060 --> 00:53:09.090
- OR TOO INAPPROPRIATE.
00:53:09.110 --> 00:53:11.020
- SOMETIMES INAPPROPRIATE [LAUGHTER].
00:53:11.040 --> 00:53:13.280
I'M NOT SURE PENTECOSTALS ARE GOING TO LIKE THAT OR
00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:15.280
CATHOLICS MIGHT NOT LIKE THAT.
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:18.150
- SO THE HAIR BRUSH SONG STARTED OFF AS ME SING ABOUT
00:53:18.170 --> 00:53:20.290
NOT FINDING A RAZOR.
00:53:21.010 --> 00:53:22.230
[SINGING] OH, WHERE IS MY RAZOR?
00:53:22.250 --> 00:53:24.290
MIKE, YOU CAN'T SING A SONG ABOUT KIDS
00:53:25.010 --> 00:53:26.230
LOOKING FOR RAZORS.
00:53:26.250 --> 00:53:28.240
- WE DON'T WANT TO SEND KIDS AROUND THEIR HOMES
00:53:28.260 --> 00:53:30.280
LOOKING FOR RAZOR BLADES.
00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:32.220
- AND BARBER MANATEE WAS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES.
00:53:32.240 --> 00:53:36.140
- YOU WERE COOKING THEM FIRST.
00:53:36.160 --> 00:53:38.290
YOU WERE COOKING MANATEE.
00:53:39.010 --> 00:53:40.240
- YEAH, NO, IT WAS REALLY BAD.
00:53:40.260 --> 00:53:42.170
- AND I LOVE MY LIPS WAS INITIALLY I LOVE MY TONGUE.
00:53:42.190 --> 00:53:44.120
- BECAUSE I WANTED TO YODEL.
00:53:44.140 --> 00:53:46.060
- HE WANTED TO YODEL, AND I THOUGHT, OKAY, WELL,
00:53:46.080 --> 00:53:47.210
EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS GOING
00:53:47.230 --> 00:53:49.210
TO THINK WE'RE MAKING FUN OF THEM, AND EVERYONE WHO
00:53:49.230 --> 00:53:52.080
DOESN'T BELIEVE IN SPEAKING IT TONGUES IS GOING TO THINK
00:53:52.100 --> 00:53:54.060
WE'RE PROMOTING SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
00:53:54.080 --> 00:53:55.180
EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE MAD AT US.
00:53:55.200 --> 00:53:57.100
SO YEAH, SOMETIMES I HAVE -- IT'S THE BOB IN ME.
00:53:57.120 --> 00:54:00.180
I HAVE TO PLAY THE GROWN UP.
00:54:00.200 --> 00:54:02.270
- STRAIGHT MAN.
00:54:02.290 --> 00:54:04.130
- THAT SAYS NO, MIKE, YOU CANNOT DO THAT.
00:54:04.150 --> 00:54:06.180
- AND I HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO BE CREATIVE,
00:54:06.200 --> 00:54:08.080
WHICH IS GOOD, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD.
00:54:08.100 --> 00:54:10.130
- OKAY, SO THE SILLY SONGS COME OUT OF YOU, MIKE.
00:54:10.150 --> 00:54:14.000
- MOST OF THEM, YEAH, A LOT OF THEM.
00:54:14.020 --> 00:54:15.260
- WATER BUFFALO SONG IS MINE.
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:17.110
- WATER BUFFALO SONG, YEAH, YOU DID THAT.
00:54:17.130 --> 00:54:19.010
AND THEN OVER THE YEARS, A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS HAVE
00:54:19.030 --> 00:54:21.190
CONTRIBUTED, BUT YEAH, I'VE WRITTEN MOST OF THEM.
00:54:21.210 --> 00:54:24.150
- WHEN WE WERE OLD AND TIRED.
00:54:24.170 --> 00:54:25.250
[LAUGHTER]
00:54:25.270 --> 00:54:27.100
- WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE?
00:54:27.120 --> 00:54:28.250
- MY FAVORITE SILLY SONG?
00:54:28.270 --> 00:54:30.240
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SILLY SONG?
00:54:30.260 --> 00:54:32.030
- I'VE GOT A FEW.
00:54:32.050 --> 00:54:33.260
WELL, THE HAIR BRUSH SONG I GUESS YOU KNOW FOR ME,
00:54:33.280 --> 00:54:36.290
THAT WAS KIND OF THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL.
00:54:37.010 --> 00:54:38.290
THAT WAS MY FIRST SILLY SONG.
00:54:39.010 --> 00:54:40.220
I LIKE THE PIRATES THAT DON'T DO ANYTHING.
00:54:40.240 --> 00:54:42.290
I LIKE THE BELLY BUTTON SONG WHICH IS SORT OF A BOY BAND
00:54:43.010 --> 00:54:44.130
SONG.
00:54:44.150 --> 00:54:46.110
- YODELING VETERINARIAN OF THE ALPS.
00:54:46.130 --> 00:54:47.270
- OH, YOU LIKE THAT ONE?
00:54:47.290 --> 00:54:49.140
- YEAH, I LOVE YODELING VETERINARIAN OF THE ALPS.
00:54:49.160 --> 00:54:51.020
- DO A LITTLE BIT OF THAT ONE.
00:54:51.040 --> 00:54:52.130
[LAUGHTER]
00:54:52.150 --> 00:54:54.220
- IT'S A STORY SONG. IT'S VERY LONG.
00:54:54.240 --> 00:54:56.170
IT'S HARD TO DO
00:54:56.190 --> 00:54:58.100
[SINGING] SO LONG AGO, HIS MEMORY IS BUT FATE...
00:54:58.120 --> 00:55:00.160
I CAN'T REMEMBER, I CAN'T REMEMBER.
00:55:00.180 --> 00:55:03.020
- [SINGING] THIS IS A SONG FOR POOR SICK KITTY...
00:55:03.040 --> 00:55:06.060
HE GOT A FEVER AND FUR IS BLUE....
00:55:06.080 --> 00:55:09.110
- [SINGING] HIS THOSE ARE BLUE....
00:55:09.130 --> 00:55:11.030
BUT IF I SING TO POOR SICK PENGUIN....
00:55:11.050 --> 00:55:12.270
HE WILL FEEL BETTER IN A DAY OR TWO....
00:55:12.290 --> 00:55:14.220
[YODELING]
00:55:14.240 --> 00:55:18.160
SO I GOT TO YODEL.
00:55:18.180 --> 00:55:20.060
- THE JOKE WAS THAT HE WAS THE DOCTOR.
00:55:20.080 --> 00:55:22.290
HE THOUGHT HIS YODELING WAS CURING THE ANIMALS BUT IT
00:55:23.010 --> 00:55:25.200
WAS HIS NURSE WHO WAS COMING IN AND GIVING THEM
00:55:25.220 --> 00:55:27.210
PENICILLIN AFTERWARDS.
00:55:27.230 --> 00:55:29.180
AND SO HE DOESN'T GIVE HIS NURSE A RAISE, AND THEN HE'S
00:55:29.200 --> 00:55:32.060
TRYING TO CURE A BEAR, AND PAW SAYS, YEAH, HE'S GOOD.
00:55:32.080 --> 00:55:34.220
AND THE BEAR EATS HIM.
00:55:34.240 --> 00:55:39.260
- HE DOESN'T EAT HIM, HE JUST CHASES HIM.
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:41.270
- HE EATS HIM.
00:55:41.290 --> 00:55:43.190
[LAUGHTER]
00:55:43.210 --> 00:55:45.160
- THERE'S ANOTHER ONE THAT I DID, WHICH I KIND OF LIKE.
00:55:45.180 --> 00:55:47.220
I DON'T THINK THE KIDS GET IT, BUT IT'S CALLED
00:55:47.240 --> 00:55:49.100
THE GATED COMMUNITY.
00:55:49.120 --> 00:55:51.160
- OH, YEAH, KIDSARE ALL OVER THAT.
00:55:51.180 --> 00:55:53.010
KIDS LOVE CLASS WARFARE.
00:55:53.030 --> 00:55:55.120
- LARRY KICKS THE BALL, HE ACCIDENTALLY KICKS THE BALL
00:55:55.140 --> 00:55:58.190
OVER THE GATE OF A GATED COMMUNITY, AND HE TRIES
00:55:58.210 --> 00:56:00.170
TO GET IT BACK.
00:56:00.190 --> 00:56:02.100
AND EVERYBODY IN THE GATED COMMUNITY IS JUST TOO BUSY
00:56:02.120 --> 00:56:03.280
SINGING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE THEIR GATED COMMUNITY.
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:05.140
- THAT'S WHEN MIKE WAS BECOMING A LITTLE TOO
00:56:05.160 --> 00:56:06.260
SOCIALLY AWARE [LAUGHTER]
00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:08.110
- OH, LORD.
00:56:08.130 --> 00:56:13.080
- HEY, FUN TIME WAS HAD BY ALL.
00:56:13.100 --> 00:56:16.220
BY THE WAY, OUR MONTHLY LOVE GIFT THIS MONTH OF NOVEMBER
00:56:16.240 --> 00:56:21.030
IS ALL ABOUT VEGGIE TALES.
00:56:21.050 --> 00:56:23.190
ALL THE INFORMATION IS NOT THE SCREEN.
00:56:23.210 --> 00:56:25.140
WE HAVE THIS AMAZING CHRISTMAS SPECIAL CALLED
00:56:25.160 --> 00:56:28.110
"THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT".
00:56:28.130 --> 00:56:31.190
AND THE 90SECOND VERSION OF WHAT'S BEHIND "THE BEST
00:56:31.210 --> 00:56:33.190
CHRISTMAS GIFT?"
00:56:33.210 --> 00:56:35.060
- IT'S TEACHING KIDS WHY CHRISTMAS
00:56:35.080 --> 00:56:37.070
IS WORTH CELEBRATING EVEN WHEN THE WORLD IS HARD,
00:56:37.090 --> 00:56:39.130
WHICH WE DON'T DO.
00:56:39.150 --> 00:56:42.190
WE TEND TO ONLY WANT TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WHEN
00:56:42.210 --> 00:56:44.210
WE'RE HAVING A GOOD DAY, AND WE SHOULD WANT TO CELEBRATE
00:56:44.230 --> 00:56:47.020
IT THE MOST WHEN WE'RE HAVING STRUGGLES.
00:56:47.040 --> 00:56:49.080
- THAT WAS ONLY 26 SECONDS. YOU NEED TO FILL 90.
00:56:49.100 --> 00:56:51.270
- AND SONGS, THERE ARE SONGS.
00:56:51.290 --> 00:56:53.260
- AND THERE ARE SONGS AND SOME DANCING, BUT THEY DON'T
00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:56.150
HAVE LEGS, SO IT'S AWKWARD.
00:56:56.170 --> 00:56:58.010
- IT'S HOPPING.
00:56:58.030 --> 00:56:59.190
- AND WHEN THEY CLAP IN THE AUDIENCE...
00:56:59.210 --> 00:57:00.240
- RHYTHMIC HOPPING.
00:57:00.260 --> 00:57:02.020
YEAH, WE TRY NOT TO NOTICE.
00:57:02.040 --> 00:57:03.120
THE CLAPPING HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE.
00:57:03.140 --> 00:57:04.190
[LAUGHTER]
00:57:04.210 --> 00:57:06.100
- THEY JUST SIT THERE AND KIND OF [BOUNCING]
00:57:06.120 --> 00:57:09.130
- BUT THEY QUESTION IT THEMSELVES, TOO.
00:57:09.150 --> 00:57:11.020
HOW ARE WE CLAPPING?
00:57:11.040 --> 00:57:12.200
- MAYBE IT'S ACTUAL LEAH THEM BOUNCING ON THEIR
00:57:12.220 --> 00:57:14.170
CHAIRS, MAYBE THAT'S IT.
00:57:14.190 --> 00:57:16.050
- SO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS FIRST OF ALL, MIKE, WHO IS
00:57:16.070 --> 00:57:21.050
LARRY, AND PHIL WHO IS BOB, CAN YOU JUST DO KIND OF THE
00:57:21.070 --> 00:57:24.220
CLOSE OF THE SHOW?
00:57:24.240 --> 00:57:26.070
WE'RE KIND OF DONE, WE'RE OUT OF TIME.
00:57:26.090 --> 00:57:27.100
- OH, SURE.
00:57:27.120 --> 00:57:28.190
- CAN YOU JUST LOOK AT AND KIND OF SAY GOODBYE.
00:57:28.210 --> 00:57:30.100
- HI, KIDS, WE'RE OUT OF TIME FOR TODAY, SO...
00:57:30.120 --> 00:57:33.100
- ALWAYS REMEMBER GOD MADE YOU SPECIAL.
00:57:33.120 --> 00:57:36.170
- AND HE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH. GOODBYE.
00:57:36.190 --> 00:57:39.090

AS PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS, THEY'RE GOD'S GREATEST GIFTS.
00:58:01.060 --> 00:58:05.000
TODAY, SCREEN TIME IS A PART OF ALL KIDS' LIVES, BUT THE
00:58:05.020 --> 00:58:09.150
INTERNET CAN BE A DANGEROUS PLACE FOR THEM.
00:58:09.170 --> 00:58:11.280
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY MIGHT STUMBLE UPON, EVEN EXPOSED
00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:15.090
TO INAPPROPRIATE VIDEOS AND CONTENT THAT DOESN'T ALIGN
00:58:15.110 --> 00:58:18.190
