Oi! The Duggars made it to London! The exchange rate for thumbs-ups must be in their favor because we are thumbs-up heavy. We see the show's (very brave) fixer, let Lego Hair and Cannon drive her vehicle. The kids enjoy some tea time and Lego Hair mortifies at least two members of his family. They also take a ride in the London Eye and round out their time in England with a trip to Stonehenge. In our not-so-mini Dig, Whitney watches an entire swoon session for Baby Cannon herself. A whole room full of people fawning over the fact that she gave birth to the children who are parenting her other children. Mother of the Year, folks! No...really.Like what you hear?

Episode 145 - Ahoy, Mate!
The Brood is going international! We've reached the travel specials and the first destination is Scotland and Ireland. This episode is complete with a tin whistle overhaul of the theme song. If you guessed that you would get Duggar Time and a lot of "what do you mean we?", you'd be correct. Lego Hair has the buffoonery dialed up since they're in another country, complete with a very awkward, ineffective pitch for Christianity. They jump on a ferry and head over to Ireland to spend time at a working farm. Beautiful, green countryside is the stage for the kids to try and herd sheep (Patches the Dog is much more adept at it). Whitney takes us back in time and we read through some of the comments on the family's websites from way back in the 2010's. It's a fascinating, sometimes horrifying look back at the kind of messages they would get from the general public. Like what you hear?

Episode 144 - The Duggar Male System
It's double-length episode time! TLC has put together another round of Q&A, pulling questions from folks on video and twitter. We do have to question their choice of interview area setup. They put up a background and then proceeded to film with only half of it in the shot. With the family taking a barrage of questions about how they operate, we get treated to another recitation of their memorized script that they all learn so well. We also both agree that Lego Hair's "I'm imparting wisdom" voice is super annoying. They end with Lego making a "big announcement". In the update(totally not a mini dig or anything haha), Whitney guides us through Pest's last chance effort to have his court case thrown out. Just be aware, the claims he made have more holes in them than his prison-issued undies. Enjoy what you hear? Would you like to support our summertime puzzle habit in Glendale, Arizona?

Episode 143 - You Exposer, Backslidden, Ineffective Christian You!
We found the Discovery Channel commercial episode. We join the Duggars, alongside other Discovery personnel volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. We saw a good amount of inappropriate attire. I'm not sure when OSHA approved flippy floppies as construction zone footwear. It wasn't all just swinging hammers, we watched a large chunk of the family roast Josh on camera. In our Dig, we look at Billy G's message to alumni: the most important battle is with that damn tongue of yours! The crucial lesson of "Taming your Tongue" is to just stay quiet about anything problematic. And always remember: the real problem is you. It's the worst when you tell people the truth if it makes them look bad. You're only allowed to bring bad things up to the person who did them, and YOU are the one who has to ask for forgiveness. Should probably watch Somebody Feed Phil to cleanse the palate after that. Enjoy what you hear? Would you like to support our newfound Personal Pan Pizza habit in Glendale, Arizona?

Episode 142 - Chili Pie is Out of the Question
There's lots of Duggars to choose to center an episode around, yet who got picked? Our favorite duo? No. The Duggirls? No. We got an episode focusing on Pest and Lego Hair. Cringe warning is advised. We watch Pest try to put together a grill and then use it to teach life lessons. For Lego Hair's birthday Cannon takes him to get an allergy test and, oddly, kinda shames him for his weight. In our Dig, we look at more ways that old Billy G's system allows for rampant abuse by insisting on only giving a good report of other Christians (Matthew 18). Don't even think about talking to other people, because that obviously means you don't love the lord. Enjoy what you hear?

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.
