Digging Up the Duggars

Digging Up the Duggarspodcasters.spotify.com
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.

Episode 84 - Not HIS Papa

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 you hear?

Episode 82 - We're Silly with Billy's

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 gathered historical pieces with the aptitude of a Supermarket Sweeper that sticks to the produce section...

Episode 79 - It’s Christian "Talk-to-the-Hand"

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 of a CAT-io, I mean patio. We get a rare happening of Mildred getting on the audio for this episode...

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 might explain a few things down the line. We’re digging on ice cream and memories from our youth that me...

Episode 75 - Are Your Trees Evil?

Join us as we watch a, pretty old-reality-tv episode. We watch the Duggars, just do stuff. Our girl, Johannah is a little afraid of what’s under the sea. 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 incredible. I watched some of @mychal3ts reels and Levar Burton's Lifetime Achievement award presentation and b...

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 get Family Planning into women's hands.

Episode 72 - Good Luck, Jeff, You Lost Peter Biblow

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.

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. Cannon tells us that with Christmas, the kids have more work. They always have all the work, what's the difference?!

Episode 68 - He Victory Sipped this Bitch

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 because this source material was a painful read.
