On location at the TTM, Lego Hair says the quiet part loud when he says that "We" are gonna start a large scale yard project, and then proceeds to do nothing to help complete it. You know it's a shitshow when the production crew has to step to try and help them finish. We get treated to another montage of Famy attempting to cook and the fam celebrates Anna's birthday. Summertime has arrived which means you may have seen banners for Vacation Bible School going up around town. We explore the genesis of VBS and the changes over the years. Two different companies run the VBS paraphernalia game and we look into some questionable choices they've made. Enjoy what you hear? Feel like you have a Servant's Heart?

Episode 134 - Leave Me Alone, Alligator!
The Duggars have such a busy day. Good Morning America is there to watch the, and I quote, "barely controlled chaos." Josie has to go visit the doc, and we meet the author of "Before You Meet Prince Charming". It's a good thing these kids don't have...real school to work around. In our dig we explore, Sarah Mally, the author of the aforementioned book. It sold like hotcakes in Christian circles. We look at the book, the author, and a barely-veiled fable with an alligator that seems like the only fun one in the story. Enjoy what you hear? Feel like you have a Servant's Heart?

Episode 133 - Junk Scuffle
No soft opens in this episode, we hard cut to the brood in the Big Apple. We get a total callback to a previous episode while watching Lego struggle to function in a public transit setting. Have you ever wanted to see too many people serve in a very small soup kitchen? Well, you're in luck. In our Dig, we explore more of the absolute drivel that Billy G liked to spew. It's purposeful drivel, to convince you that yielding your rights, is all part of God's plan. It's all done so you can maintain the patriarchal IBLP system, for him. He can then use his time...uh...writing more of this crap. Duke's Mayo, if you're listening, shoot us a message. Enjoy what you hear? Feel like you have a Servant's Heart?

Episode 132 - I Can See Yo' Back Skin
We watch the brood run amok in a Kiddie Casino. The tokens were flowing, the cheap pizza was getting devoured, and we see the Dancing King use hard-earned tickets to buy something for Hannie. Super Sweet gesture. We watch 2 of the boys, and Grandma get equipped with new bikes. In our Dig, we take a look at a book written about the early days of Billy G's cult. It's written by a pastor and it's, surprisingly, not a fluff piece. There's a chapter that is almost a Billy G Burn Book. Good on ya, Wilfred Bockelman. Enjoy what you hear?

Episode 131 - There's No Froggin' Way
Welcome to the triumphant return of Dr. Diligence D.D.S! Pest and Joe can't seem to handle the one thing asked of them, before THEIR medical procedure. We then watch, yet again, as Lego tries to bend the rules. He is swiftly shutdown by our new favorite side character of the series. It is so satisfying to watch someone else who will not give in to Lego's BS.In our Dig, we resume the exploration of this family's parentification, and the effects from it. Whitney thought this Dig was going to be only one froggin' part but it was a juicy topic. ***Public Service Announcement***PBS has such an important role in providing quality, thoughtful programming for everyone.

We're taking it allll the way back to the very first Discovery special. A rewatch for me (Whitney) and a side-eyed first watch for me (Tim). In light of some...uh...legal happenings, we look back from the beginnings of this saga to catch the cringe, the red flags, and the tater tot casserole.
