Digging Up the Duggars

I've said before that in comedy its funny when you set up a premise and then destroy that premise. Not so much in reality tv shows about controlling religious groups and a lot of kids. Famy and Anna say they are going to knit or crochet booties for Josie, and then proceed to spend a whole episode doing...not that at all. We Dig into Hobby Lobby's connection to Museum of the Bible and how they gath...

Join us as we get a return of the Bates clan to the show! Lots of denim skirts, but unfortunately, no Kass-uh-dee-uz. We dig into the IBLP Levels of Friendship. I hope Whitney lets me up to level 2 or 3! Like what you hear? Want to hear some ad-free episodes?

The Brood decides to eat out in public at a favorite of *gasp!!!* Bill Clinton! Jana and Jill get a view of their future job when they go visit Josie in the hospital. To pay off our Dig cliffhanger last week, we present what Tim is calling Jesus Camp 2 : Electric Boogaloo. We continue on and explore some themes throughout the documentary, the reaction, and catch up with the 3 main children from it...

We're still hanging in Little Rock and we see the Duggars, "answering" phones during a telethon for the Children's Hospital. We also watch as "Kitten" is looking a little closer to being able to head home. In part 1 of a split Dig, we examine the documentary "Jesus Camp" and Tim gets emotional in this one...rare occurrence, right? In our Digging on, we look at expressing how we feel and the beauty...

Join us as we they are scraping the barrel on content while the clan is away from the Tator Tot Mansion. In the Dig, we explore how controlling systems have lead to inaction in getting people the help they need when it comes to mental illness and abuse. We explore these parallels with yet ANOTHER Josh. We dig on local business and some more gems from social media. Like what you hear? Do you have a...

Join us as we watch the Duggirls get a break with a little trip home. But in order to get a break from child raising and taking care of a historic house, they must sacrifice their gut health with a cheese filled dinner at the Pest nest. In our Dig, we focus on Billy G (not my lover). We look at his childhood, and how the word “spectacular,” and being called out by a superintendent AND a woman migh...

In our recap, we explore some Hanny Moments while the Duggars take a trip to the park. Later, in a big milestone since her birth, Cannon gets to hold Josie for the first time. In the Dig, we explore a Wisdom Booklet and the supplementary curriculum they use. We are digging on Lake Street Dive and some pet Parent Lingo. Like what you hear? Would you like to support us?

In the Dig, we look at the dangerous precipice of black-and-white thinking and Bill G’s very specific teachings on it. We explore the challenge of such a close minded thinking process. We dig on the fact that 80's and 90's themes were inc...

Welcome aboard, the Blood Vessel (Venture Brothers reference). We show the Dugggirls going with Lego to donate blood, as Grandma maintains a historic home and all the littles. Lots of preparations for eating with a trip to the grocery store and baby Josie gets a feeding tube. In our Dig, we explore the complicated Jehovah's Witness blood policy. Buckle Up, cause the whiplash in this episode is...

Welcome back from the Holiday Break. Hope you had a wonderful Toyotathon! Enjoy the Inception and (maybe) end of a segment called "What We're Harpin' On". The place for your hot, Duggar-related Harp News. In the episode recap, we watch the brood invade a historic house. In our Dig, we look at the Arkansas Birth Control Movement and the Specific, Avengers-style team up to try and...

We're here with a bonus episode! Over on buymeacoffee.com/diggingupthedug , we drop bonus episode and posts that we call Pickles. Here's a sneak preview of this content for everyone. It's our recap, post-holiday to get us back into the groove. Enjoy!

Let's get it out of the way. There is way too much Pest in this one, folks. We had a good half season where we didn't have to watch him try to lead a show like dear ole, Lego Hair. No Fank You. In the Dig, we examine the "War On Christmas" and its origins. How it, oddly, involves early days of Amazon, and join us as we push out the good vibes in What We're Digging On. Happy H...

Join us as we watch a Christmas episode. The family is split between being with Josie in Little Rock and the rest of the brood back at the Tater Tot Mansion.

Here we are! We've reached the end of season 3! Usually a season ending episode would have a lot more fanfare, but its a little anti-climatic. We watch as the behind the camera crew gets a little bit of facetime and we learn the seedy rumors about "Frana". In an absolutely epic Digg, we learn about what was the catalyst for the satanic panic. Get Whitney's merit badge ready becau...

We get right down to the Bates and a cast of (seemingly) thousands, trying to finish their house. Watch as the Bates kids get their Volunteer Firefighter on.

Sorry Folks, no Kass-uh-dee-yuz this time. Grab your shovels as we Digg in to ole...

We haven't seen the Bates in a while. That bingo square was getting a little lonely. We join the Duggars as they are on the road, stopping in Pigeon Forge. We get to see Jessa celebrate her birthday with a light spa day with her sisters. We get the first Dug-girls talking head and watch as the Bates drop, almost, 3K on groceries since they will be hosting so, so many people. In the Dig, we exp...
