In today's episode, the girlies break down the viral lego story taking over the internet. Things are only getting messier as time goes on but the core of the issue is an ongoing dispute involving the retail franchise Bricks & Minifigs (BAM), YouTuber Reckless Ben, and a Lego Star Wars collection allegedly worth $200,000 that was originally consigned to a franchise location in Keizer, Oregon. The dispute gained attention in May 2026 after Ben published a series of videos alleging that the collection had been illegally retained following a change in franchise ownership. The controversy has also involved the Police Department of American Fork, Utah, and allegations that they are colluding with Bricks & Minifigs to cover up the scandal.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, it's Joe and Zoe here from Digit and we're currently sponsored by QVC. |
| 0:04.7 | Joe, what I absolutely love about having people round in summer is that the garden suddenly becomes the place everyone gravitates towards after all my hard work. |
| 0:15.5 | I know there is nothing nicer than being able to entertain outside and probably show off all that stuff you've been doing over the cold, dark months and suddenly the garden is there. |
| 0:24.2 | Tadda! |
| 0:24.7 | Tadda! |
| 0:25.5 | Exactly. |
| 0:26.3 | And sometimes it's the little finishing touches that can really make the space come alive. |
| 0:31.4 | QVC has recently launched their Studio 70 collection, which is full of gorgeous lanterns, a little bit like this, beautiful |
| 0:39.3 | one here. That's from the Amanda Holden collection, garden furniture and accessories to create |
| 0:44.9 | the perfect garden setup. It's all very retro 70s inspired, so I really like the style. So if you |
| 0:50.1 | think olive greens are berry tones, you can have gorgeous prints, lovely soft lighting, |
| 0:55.5 | and it can really lift whatever outdoor space that you already have. |
| 0:58.7 | Yeah, loving the solar lanterns as well, they give off a really beautiful, warm glow. |
| 1:03.0 | The outdoor wax candles are really lovely too. |
| 1:05.2 | I've got some by my side here. |
| 1:06.4 | They're battery operated, so you get all the atmosphere without having to worry about pets or plants near flames |
| 1:11.6 | and no blowing out in the breeze as well when the wind gets up. It's all part of My Garden Escape |
| 1:16.5 | at QEC which genuinely feels like a virtual garden centre alongside furniture and lighting. They've |
| 1:23.2 | got plants, tools, wildlife care and more plus expert advice to help you make the most of your |
