Digging Up the Duggars

Double length episodes are usually chock full o' content. This one has the Duggars taking the reins on recording video and audio for this one. Someone give Soundman Jim a weekend off. We watch the family take on D.C. and we get Amy's birthday and her phobia. Wanna see Pest get as smug as possible...cause we got it! In our Dig, Whitney takes the information filled tube shaped balloon and twists it...

The only thing you need to know about the recap this week, is that Tim got Bingo! and the game is all tied up!! Okay, I'm kidding, you should also know that the official Turkey Bacon Dealer in the TTM is learning how to drive. We learn Lego Hair's deep seeded, shame that he has to point out in his children. In our Dig, we look into what actually happened in one of the IBLP Training Centers. I thou...

When you think of strong, Olympic-type swimmers, you're not thinking of them wearing jeans or a WholesomWear Swim Frock. Watch the brood enjoy some quality pool time. We see Turkey Bacon as the respect currency in the TTM. In our Dig, we sit through orientation for working for free in an IBLP culthouse. We don't have regular rules, they're like, fun rules. Like What You Hear? Would you like to hel...

As with a handful of the recent episodes, this episode has way too much Pest. We watch the Dug-girls do a decent job of sewing...but showing some folks that really do not care about that. Pest serves up some word salad. In our Dig, we look at Secular Humanism and why IBLP calls everything that makes them uncomfortable that. Whitney puts a whole full-time-jobs worth of time into these Episodes, if...

For a change of pace, Michelle is taking it easy and letting the Dug-girls take care of the housework...which is what she does every other time, all the time. It’s a pretty innocuous episode but had too much Pest. In the Dig, we explore Tia Levings and her book, "A Well Trained Wife". It’s a terrifying look at what women in high control religions have to deal with, existing in a system built to pe...

It is time for a good ole family reunion. The Duggars have answered the call from around the country to come visit the brood and eat some hotel Fried Chicken. Did you ever think that 'Chelle is harboring bitterness? Well she has a gallbladder thing so you would be correct. If you'd like to support Whitney's ice slipper fondness please join us at www.buymeacoffee.com/diggingupthedug We have so much...

Hey! Check it out! We have made it to 100 episodes. Thank you so much for joining us on this Dig. In an effort to capture some candid moments before we record, I've been saving all of the Mic Check audio when we are calibrating levels to start recording. I though you'd enjoy this montage of some of the fun randomness when I...I mean, Mildred gets us ready. Thank you for digging with us and...

Would you like to see a group of Sister Mom's invade Chicago? We have all of your favorites Bates, Keller, and Duggars. The floor length denim skirt store never stood a chance. In this week's dig, we finish the second half of ____abee. We explore his affair with Rock Music, his use of taxpayer funds for, all sorts of things, and a weird amount of gifted canoes. ***Listener warning at around the 2:...

The gang actually sees the sunrise, which only happens when they're on the Today Show. We watch them all, sleepily try to get ready to be on national television. They join, old pal Mike Yuckabee for his show right after. In a heavily anticipated Dig, we explore Mike Huckabee. He has so many connections to IBLP, Billy G, and the Duggars. If you'd like to support week 2 of the French Food Celebratio...

Join us as we watch another Duggar example of a bunch of random B Roll thrown together as an episode. Lego invites people over with the intention of hitching a ride with them. Our Little Jilly Croissant intrudes on his time away from the fam. We get jealous of the continuing fedora game, and we wax poetic about the 'lympics and how it takes over our household. In our Digg we explore why (apparentl...

It is family picture day for the brood. Let's give a shoutout to cameraman Scott for having patience of monk. He was able to wrangle Duggar Time, Stains and squinting into a pretty good family picture collage. In our Dig, we explore how serious and dangerous the Rock Music Addiction can be. It affects millions of lives every single day. I am battling an addiction to yacht rock right now. I keep fo...

Watch as the Duggars meet up with their...uhhhhh, really good friends.....whatever their name is. In the Digg we explore a Colorado tragedy that is intertwined with ole Billy G and our recurring buddy, Ted Haggard. The Ted Train keeps a rolling. If you join us at www.buymeacoffee.com/diggingupthedug we have so much content across a lot of topics, and even more Mildred content! We will be posting s...

Josie gets a road trip and a checkup, while Whit and I recount what amazing Cardboard Car builders we are. Jessa gets her homeschool diploma, Cannon and the girls talk about how much of an awkward "parent" Lego is. We go back to the dig site of Ted Haggard, and see how the man really can't help himself. The fact that so many people go back to him as a religious leader is mind-boggling. Put your se...

Little Josie gets to come home now that its only normal levels of ick and not Chicken Pox ick. Cannon and the crew try to talk down to us about how most internet and media is so bad for you, but they make a living by it. We watch as they get their voice actor chops in. Cracker Justin and Soundman Jim are definitely the stars, while Jilly Croissant has to carry the bulk of the load. Go figure. We D...

Watch in horror as the Duggar brood get Chicken Pox. They also completely miss opportunities for good wordplay. See Lego Hair getting out of his normal jurisdictions and...ya know, takes care of his sick children. In our dig; you've heard of Character Houses, Streets, Neighborhoods, Cities, States, but enjoy the first Character Inn. No, its not an IBLP-made, Hallmark movie about a big city law...

**Disclaimer** We have a new mic that really picks up everything so my (Tim) voice is echoey through some of it. We are aware and are working it out. The Bates make their return to the show, watch Jana and JD in Malaysia with a sneak appearance by Frank Sun. Join us in the Dig where we look at Character Cities. The Phillipines definitely were ahead of Mike Huckabee in winning the favor of ole Bill...

The Duggars go Hollywood. Watch the clan (minus Cannon) get on the "Big Screen". Joy, actually gets her actress skirt on and plays the part so well. Pest, is....annoying as always. In our Dig, we get into the Sherwood Ministry projects and talk through how they can fund movies through exploiting their parishioners. We don't suggest watching Fireproof or Courageous, but if you like what you're hear...

The Duggars get up in all sorts of Bingo-worthy stuff this episode (listen up to see who gets the winning square). We get too much Pest, learn why Josie might be struggling to get home, and celebrate some Jilly-muffin birthday. We Dig into why having a business partner is a terrifying thing! Be afraid of being able to consistently pay your bills! Recoil in terror at communicating your needs and bo...

We've reached the end of the Baby Ballot to name the children. Where do we go from here? We check to see if Josie has *rumspringer's(sic). Jinnifer gets some aggression out on the Sound team, but no WWE moves in this episode. We get the return to the Tater-tot Mansion. In this week's Dig, we explore more IBLP "Wisdom" on the role the church plays in medical decisions. Spoiler Alert - they put them...

Watch as we celebrate a Lost Boy Birthday, and the fam heads to Cult-Con in Texas. Watch as Cannon roams the Halls alone, and Johannah drops the Sideways Power Slam! Help! We Woke Up! but after we woke up, we dug into Micro-Graham, Franklin. You know it’s a bad sign when your siblings are roasting you over an open fire. Digging the Vibes? Want to get ad-free episodes?

We continue with little Josie growing, and Lego continuing to uhhh...Lego. This time with the kids at the zoo! We get another appearance of the Cracker Jack cosplay, hopefully not the last. In our Dig, we get into one of the numerous Billy G's. We are slowly covering all of the Grahams, Billy maybe Teddy. (I love teddy grahams!) We explore his Revival's Explosion onto the scene and how he became "...

We get to see a gaggle of Joshes, we meet more extended family, and we learn that "Duggar Time" is between 60 and 180 minutes!!

We Get To Recap Little Josie's Journey And See The Family Make Arrangements To Get Her Oxygen And Keep Monitoring Her Vitals. Well, The Older Girls Making Arrangements. It Was A Double Length Episode With A Lot Of Recapping. In Our Digg, We Explore IBLP Literature On How To Make Sound Medical Decisions, According To Old Billy G. We're Just Chill Man, We Don't Need To Objectively Think About Anythi...

We roll along the wagon train of getting the brood to actually do things again. They get carsick, watch some relatively defrauding dancing, and get to work some metal. The choice of activity at the Iron Works was very thoughtful and kind. We finish the Dig on The Passion of the Christ and get to ole JC (actor), the creative and targeted marketing, and talk Tim's love of Super Beard Bros. Like what...

Want to see a bunch of folks in non-hiking gear, hike up a big mountain? Well do we have an episode for you! We watch as Lego and the brood get real outdoors-y. Michelle got to get out of it to spend time with Josie. On the 20 year anniversary of the movie, The Passion of the Christ, we explore the movie, the BTS, and some of the people around it.
