Digging Up the Duggars

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 explo...

Josie and a random smattering of Duggars head back to Little Rock for a check-up. This, of course, leaves Jessa in charge. Lego Hair was there... and that's the extent of how much he brings to the table in these situations. In our Dig, we explore how this group loves to repackage parentification, into something the children "beg" to do. They PR spin this kind of thing like a Beyblade...

Watch as the Duggar Boys destroy an innocent taco restaurant. Lego Hair decides to repeatedly tell us the cliff's notes of this episode. "Josh bought a new car lot. It used to be an old taco restaurant". The Dancing King definitely took center stage. Lego Hair bringing a 6-year-old to participate in a major commercial demolition was not as productive as he thought. As we approach the...

Snow Warning! We watch as the TTM is blanketed with 2 feet of snow! We can add to the Duggars Recipe Box with their showcase of "Snow Ice Cream". This is a completely foreign concept to a good ole Arizona couple like us. In our Dig, we get into a further examination of Jingy V's book. We take a hard look into how what-should-have-been a memoir to recount her upbringing and the after...

If there's anything that we should expect out of children it's that they need to carry their weight and contribute to their family's finances. Every kid with a J name within the T.T.M. got rounded up to put in a little elbow grease. Send your kids to clean up a filthy residence you just bought? Check! Have your child grabbing last month's meatloaf? Check! Paint and tile a whole roo...

We got a Special, Y'all! We get to see Anna have a baby, and Pest take a nap, give advice nobody wants, and overall be annoying. They should've title this episode "First REAL Duggar Grandchild" because this one is a boy. Move over, Mackynzie! We got to see Hannie be in the big girl's club. And get ready because the amount of Smug in this episode is more than the suggested lev...

Those Duggars invade Colorado Springs to speak at Focus on the Family. We get more examples of how, even on the road, the Duggirls have to take care of, well…. everything. We watch Pest really provide for his pregnant wife by taking care of the duffel AND the backpack while his expecting wife pushes the luggage cart that is full to the brim. In our Dig we explore the founder of Focus on the Family...

So Lego is taking Cannon to El Salvador for the first time. She decides to trim up that lego hair piece before they go. What are the kids gonna do with the parents gone? Well, the same as they always do : everything. In our Dig, we explore Mary Pride's book, "The Way Home:Beyond Feminism Back to Reality". The book that is credited with sparking the Quiverfull movement. Be forewarned,...

The Brood (minus Josie and Cannon) make their way to go skiing. We get the triumphant return of "Buy Used Save the Difference", we watch the kids work with some very patient ski instructors, and Lego's buffoon-ery is on absolute display. He must not understand, because when he doesn't listen and is overbearing at home, Cannon looks at him sweetly and praises him. In public...he d...

The Bates are back, baby! We are able to experience this mass of khakis and denim skirts through the eyes of the Duggar's house guest. She talks about how she can't tell some of them apart. Same, sister! With that many little kids, germs course through so many of them. I can only imagine the amount of uncovered coughing going on. In our Dig, we take a look at the Quiverfull movement and ho...

**This episode ALSO contains more Pest than is recommended for listening consumption. Digger discretion is still advised. ** This time he's pretending to be a big boss man. In typical Duggar fashion we get a horrible use of time and preparation so they're scrambling. The clan needs to go to city officials to see if they can re-zone a new car lot and we watch as Lego Hair has to step in. In...

Content Warning ***this episode had way too much Pest for anyone's consumption. Digger discretion is advised*** We get to see the "ginder" of Pest and Anna's next creation. We watch as Lego Hair is annoying, nothing new there. And Cannon drains all of the toner in the family's office copier, in order to print out two giant color pictures of the male/female symbols. In our Dig...

I'm really not sure how Anna came up with the most creative idea...she invited the stateside Duggars over for dinner. We watch the crew at the Pest Nest and we see the Lost Boys menacing a kitty. It was too real for Mildred. We see the mission part of the Brood make their way back to the States in time to celebrate Josie's first birthday. In our Dig, we explore how Billy G takes the idea o...

We get another chance to watch Buffoon and Company in Latin America. Watch him butcher a foreign language, again. We see the fam saying some tearful goodbyes to their new friends while Jana gets some serious rubik's cube time in. Back home, Famy gets to Fame while taking the little ones to a reptile "museum". Our unenthusiastic host has some really cool animals, in a questionable spa...

It's that time of year again, we get to see Lego Hair completely butcher a foreign language and expect everyone to find it hilarious like Baby Cannon does. Watch as the Dug-girls are completely unprepared for this hike between countries and get a little snippy when asked about it. In our Dig, we take a look at Short-term Mission Work and what, if any, is the benefit to local populations. Hey,...

It's your girl, Joy's birthday. Watch the clan as they shoehorn in the plan they had and totally say it’s what she wanted to do for her birthday. At least there's ice cream at the end. Jordyn also makes one of the best subtle roasts of Lego Hair that we've seen in this podcast. We Dig into a court case about a company, just casually, voluntelling their employees to go to an IBLP seminar. Of course...

Aaaaannnnddddd We Are Back! Welcome to our first episode of 2025. We watch the whole fam travel to Eureka Springs to the "largest outdoor drama in the U.S": The Great Passion Play. You may also notice the large, sassy statue of Jesus! You can't miss it. If you thought we were just talking about a statue with resting, fed-up face, we're not. The story of the absolute windbag that constructed it and...

Michelle gives us a whole bunch of "What Do You Mean, We?" energy in this episode, as she gets to ditch the fam and spend the day recording an audio version of their book. And we see a whole segment of Duggars at a fish fry, yet don't get any "Duggars Dine Out" square. It's a shame. ***Trigger Warning : This Dig contains segments where we talk about torture, sexual abuse and mention of suicide. **...

Its understandable that Cannon doesn't get super excited about the men in her life. Lego Hair leaves much to be desired. Watch as she might shake out of her hose when they get a visit from Doctor Charles Stanley, rock star preacher! Watch as he really doesn't care while he's in their house but he definitely takes time to sign some bibles, Legend that he is. In our Dig, we look into Old Chuck Stanl...

Its time to get out the vote! Think that John David Duggar sounds like a little kid play-acting as an adult? Feel free to throw your vote towards the much more adult sounding John Duggar for City Council! We watch as John follows in his father's uh....successful footsteps. In our Dig, we look at IBLP creeping its tentacles into political positions within The Cabinet. Whitney was digging with two s...

We are back for Season 5! The Recap is cappier! The Dig is deeper! Tim's bingo is...uhhhh bingo-er. We talk Halloween costumes, new bingo boards and watch as Cannon gets to actually do something because she's actually not pregnant. In our Dig, we explore how Franklin Graham continues to be awful and the subject is not the year's newest Hallmark Movie. Like What You Hear? Would you like to help sup...

Well Diggers, we've made it to the end of season 4. It has been a long and wild season, but join us as we explore the growth we've had. We talk bingos, Halloween Parties and answer your hard-hitting questions. Its been a blast and, once again, thank you so much for being with us on this journey. We appreciate you, and we will return in Season 5! Like What You Hear? Would you like to help support a...

We have arrived at the end of Season 4! Its been a ride with this brood. The last episode of the season is a "special" that has us watching some Duggar Child birthdays (except for one), a ridiculous amount of Pest content, and listen to Whitney and I stress out, big time due to them still planning a birthday party less than 8 hours before its supposed to start. Ugh. We are continuing our tradition...

The Brood picks up where they left off, in Louisville for a speaking engagement at basketball arena-sized mega church. The kids play some rough violin and sing a barbershop-style hymn. Out of all of those Duggars, the hot ticket for autographs, was Soundman Jim! The Stache, himself. In our Spooky Season Dig, we went Ween. JesusWeen that is...nope, that still doesn't make it any less funny. Check o...

We watch as the brood hits the road to head to Lousiville, Kentucky for a speaking engagement. Cannon is staying back with Josie and then flying out there. By the way, were you aware that Josie spits up a lot? And that B.C. is right where she needs to be? Of Course you are, those are the only pre-determined comments that Lego Hair left her to say so we are on repeat of those items whenever she's l...
