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.

Sorry Michelle, you have as little an understanding who Dolly is, as your kids. In our deep dive we get into Dolly and the amazing things she has done for the world.

We are excited to be back! We are dishing some updates on our totally human 17 year old child, Mildred; and where we've been this week. The episode has a lot of Smug Pest, which is, arguably, one of my least favorite Pests. We see Famey's very era-appropriate wardrobe and we get to know her processing man slice. In the deep dive we get a Duggar-adjacent look at why "dating" is the basis of all the world's ills. We get a new Josh added to the pantheon and discuss through our own lenses. Join us, ...
We take a trip back in time to Pest/Anna's honeymoon. Don't let the beautiful scenery fool you, it gets creepy. We take a trip to a chophouse, explore a 4-bedroom beach house, and watch a very awkward "sleep with the sharks". Sleeping on a walkway was not enough action to keep Josh interested. In a mildly awkward deep dive, we explore headlamps, the color of wine, and Whitney's consuming of a weird 3-hour mp3.

Surprise Episode!!! We called this a Little One, but it was pretty normal length. Due to the 'Rona, we decided to record while I had more time off than I've ever had. We started by going through the old Discovery Episode of Christmas Duggars that's only 8 minutes long. It was a blast from the past, no Tater Tot Mansion, baby Jackson, less kids! In, a holiday Deep Dive Jubilee, we explore the rest of the Duggar's (and ours, really) Christmas Traditions. Hope you enjoyed the Xmas version of the th...
This episode delves into the Duggars' "Big Thaw" episode, featuring the Bates family's arrival during a power outage and Anna Duggar's pregnancy announcement. It also includes a detailed deep dive into the Bates family's history, their religious beliefs, and their contrasting approaches to life and family compared to the Duggars. The hosts discuss the Bates' show cancellation and various scandals, highlighting their more relatable personalities and different parenting philosophies while acknowledging their shared IBLP connection.
The episode begins with the Duggars enduring a severe ice storm in Arkansas, leading to power outages, property damage, and a child's hospitalization, all while Jim Bob delivers performative speeches and the kids sled on campaign signs. The deep dive then extensively covers Jim Bob Duggar's political journey, detailing his campaigns, the self-serving and religiously motivated bills he sponsored (including those on car sales, youth nudity, and abortions), and his repeated losses, culminating in a final, ill-timed Senate bid during Josh's trial, which ultimately led to the family's shift to reality TV.
