Watch as Lego forgets to send the dress code memo to the rest of the family at a "Christian media event." We get to watch Duggar Time happen and the impact it has on the crew. The brood rolls into the Georgia Aquarium and get a meet n' greet with a couple of penguins. We get a multitude of Jinger faces and watch Cannon get her engine revved up for her man in a wetsuit...ew (I didn't even like typing that).A couple of episodes ago we saw Jill "teaching" some young kids in a blue polo with the Children's Institute logo on it. In this Dig, we explore what exactly that is and how it was totally better "back in my day"! It seems a little like Billy G's version of VBS...V.I.B.L.P.S. if you will.Enjoy what you hear?

Episode 139 - We Got Here by Talking About Soft Foods
Whoa! The storied Duggar moments were on deck in this episode. Cannon's celebrity crush just invited the brood to come to HIS church in Atlanta. While they were rehearsing, we witnessed "The Fall"! Jason fell into the orchestra pit, and we get a clear view of why Jackson is such a sweet, thoughtful child. We proceed to watch Cannon, just out putting on a show for all the people on the lake. It was so risque that they had to censor it. Duggars Gone Wild, Woo!In our Dig, we are at part 2 of ALERT. We explore the cost and content of the different phases of the program. We hear accounts from folks that were participants in it, and see how the program is getting on these days.

Episode 138 - Does He Need a Towel to Clean Up After That?
Cannon really had to clean up her rep these last couple episodes. She can't have us thinking that she doesn't do anything. She was reading prenap stories and now we watch her doing homeschool with the Little Ones. The pop-up did say that Jessa helps, "occasionally." Sure, Jan. It’s ATI Conference time! We get a flash of the Lost Boys at Alert Cadet Camp. The "little ladies" are, of course, taking care of children. The whole crew attends an "International Day" at a local Elementary School. We watch them make "torteelyuhs".In our Dig, we take a look at the genesis of the ALERT Academy and ALERT Cadet program. It's so inspirational it made IBLP Dads weep. We look at how they sell the Cadet program as: it's just Boy Scouts with a splash of religion. Behind the scenes it's a group based in dogma to develop a righteous army for the Lord...with Smores!Enjoy what you hear? Feel like you have a Servant's Heart?

Episode 137 - He's Holding Onto His Dignity For Dear Life
Get your sleeping bag ready, 'cause the gang is camping out in front of the house. I hope there's fire extinguisher in the area because Lego Hair is cooking hot dogs and chicken on the grill. Joe was the VIP in this episode. Setting up the tent while Lego stood there uselessly. Coordinating a lost boys' painting project. He's getting a little light shone upon him. In our Dig, we take a look at the Christian flag. We discuss its genesis, the pledge made to go with it, and we learn of, arguably, the coolest last name ever: Diffendorfer. Enjoy what you hear?

Episode 136 - It's an IBLP Anthem!
TLC was thoughtful this time and didn't make us sit through more footage of the gang driving for 20 hours! We fast forward to them at Niagara Falls. They all talked about how beautiful it was, but there were rainbows everywhere (gasp)! The older ones got to ride a jet boat while the little ones got to go fishing and stay dry. Appropriate for a show that includes Lego Hair, and Pest, we dig into the IBLP teachings on "irritations". Billy G sure knows how to build a pyramid scheme where you consider yourself the problem. The only appropriate thing to do in response to this is "yielding" all of your rights. We explore Billy's convoluted way of gaslighting his followers into denying how they feel and blame themselves for everything. Enjoy what you hear? Feel like you have a Servant's Heart?

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.
