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 his sordid travels through different aspects of America is fascinating and horrifying. Welcome back...

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. *** In our Dig we explore the genesis of Voice of the Martyrs, the charity and parachute building club...

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 Stanley and how, even though there's so much drama in SBC, he proves that you can be a rock star preacher...

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 shovels this time. Like What You Hear?

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?

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 of doing a "State of the Pod" episode to close out the season. Whitney will be dropping a post wher...

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 out the way to rip October 31st out of Satan's hands! Be prepared, there's some pretty low hanging jo...

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 left with her own thoughts. Don't worry Dug-girls, the dirty dishes will be waiting for you when you ...
Oct 10, 2024•2 hr 10 min•Season 4Ep. 107
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 into the charming shape of an animal in our exploration of Christian Clown Ministry. Wanna be a clow...

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 thought it was just a goofy place, where some culty wierdo's got together and did culty things together ...

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.

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 you like what you hear and would like to support us, consider joining us at www.buymeacoffee.com/dig...

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 perpetuate abuse. She is an eloquent, expressive writer. In this book, she bares her soul and is very ...

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.

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 Cheers, to 100 more episodes!

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 2:00:00 mark we talk about a felon who committed rape.

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.

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 (apparently) working outside of the home as a women is one of the worst things you can do! To yourself and you...

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 forgetting. I've been freebasing the Doobie Brothers and Christopher Cross for the last couple of mont...

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 seatbelts on and join us in the wack-a-doodle roller coaster of this man's "career". ***Podcast News A...

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 Digg into the Rise and Fall of Ted Haggard in our next 2 part Digg. Join us for the cringe. We don't ...

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 lawyer that moves to a Michigan hotel and finds a man to convert and court her. Its an actual hotel "run" b...

**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 Billy G. Hopefully, you'll be digging on my pick at the end because it is something to behold. If you li...

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.

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 boundaries! Run Away from your shrinking job opportunities with ATI curriculum!

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 themselves first over...you know, medical professionals. Put your gowns on, and make sure you take churc...

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 "America's Pastor". Please do not let any Mrs Butterworth's or Land O Lakes on the table if I'm eatin...
