by Digging Up the Duggars
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 189 - Hose Wherever She Goes
Cannon and Lego are off to Puerto Rico! This isn’t a regular travel episode though; they’re on a marriage retreat. A chance to get away from all the kids (that their daughters raise) and the house (that their daughters take care of). It’s a good thing they’re getting a break from it all. Cannon...
-
Episode 188 - She Should Have Shared Those Circus Peanuts
This episode has been rated TMJ, Too Much Joe. He spends quality time with Cannon followed by way too many people talking about how he’s an accountability partner and makesthe right decisions. Yeesh! Trainer Steve returns to make the mens suffer even more in their weight loss competition. In the...
-
Episode 187 - She's a Bad Glama Jana
The show has decided to give us a break from reexplainingthat Lego Hair and Pest are doing a competition to lose weight. Instead, we watched Jinger and Jessa (in a totally not staged scene) asking their parents if they could do a fundraiser at a coffee shop for an orphanage in Guatemala. It’s a…
more -
Episode 186 - Bell Bottoms are a Gateway Garment
Let the workout montage commence! Now, I would usually say that this episode had way too much Pest in it, but most of it is getting roasted by their new personal trainer. It makes it okay. We watch as the kids plant seeds to do a little plant growing competition. In a longtime-coming dig, Whit…

Episode 185 - Grasping at Helpmeets
Here we are at the underwhelming payoff of last episode’s cliffhanger. We get to see the meeting with the doctor to go over Lego and Pest’s medical exam results. Neither one of them eats well, nor exercises, and the results are what you would expect. At the Pest Nest, they get a visit from ole...
-
Episode 184 - Put the Tomatoes on the Phone
So, we are here again, at the recycled plot line of “Lego needs to lose weight”. This time, we got Pest involved so we can see the mens show off how competitive they are. The whole episode lets us explore our new bingo square: “Who’s a Big Man?”. They suffer through 1 workout and a fitness test…

Episode 183 - Bite HAAARRRD!
Starting off the season with a double length episode means this week is a Dig-only podcast. Whit explores a long-time resident on her potential Dig list: "Combating Cult Mind Control" by Steve Hassan. Steve explores the complex ways that cults control multiple aspects of their members lives to...

Episode 181 - State of the Pod 6: You Mean Crunchy and Jessa Means Bland
That's a wrap on Season 6. While the middle of the season felt a bit uneventful, we did witness some memorable moments. We saw some of the younger Duggars come into their own in talking heads, watched Lego try and speak Spanish to the Japanese and Chinese people alike, and saw what Michelle could...
-
Episode 180 - If It's Not Rattle, We're Not Interested
We have reached the last of leg of this season’s travel episodes with them in Beijing, China. This gigantic mob always seems to have challenges with subways. Whether it’s tickets, exchange rate, or saying “Gracias” to people in *checks notes*…China; Jim Bob is gonna Jim Bob. The family ends the...
-
Episode 179 - I Put My Legs Up
We close out the Duggars’ time in Tokyo with the crew being on a morning show and watching the hardest working PA in the business. As the crew travels to Kyoto, they do some “ginder” segregated activities with “samurai training” and a traditional clothing and makeup photoshoot. Inspired by the...
-
Episode 178 - Burgers. Boobs. Wow!
In our second ever "Just Dig" episode, we dig into the sexual content of the jail emails between Josh and Anna. We explore how it escalated over time, spend way too much time talking about dick and sex emoticons, and say "oral" more times in 2 hours than our entire lives combined. If you're the…
more -
Episode 177 - What Is It with the F*ckin' Neck Shaving?!
Here we go with the Duggars invading Tokyo, Japan. If you enjoyed the buffoonery with foreign currency from their last travel episodes, you’ll love this one. Would you care to see another culture’s cuisine make Lego Hair uncomfortable? Just you wait. We don’t do a full dig, but Whit touches on…

Episode 176 - He Might Do a Cigarette Later
It's a Baby Cannon Birthday Extravaganza! The fam (whichmeans the Duggirls) set Michelle off on a birthday scavenger hunt. We get a whole spread of Duggar craziness. Cannon firing a gun. Eating Arkansas quality fried chicken. Shopping for some questionable fashion choices. One of the last stops...

Episode 175 - Sometimes They Do Something
This episode starts with a Bang! The gang heads to a fireworks stand to prepare for their 4th of July celebration. Lego Hair reinforces the fact that he’s a very ineffective parent when we see the 3 year old child that he was supposed to be watching roll up with a hand basket full of fireworks.…
more -
Episode 174 - Coveting That Ass
Why do we start this episode with the fam putting together (seemingly new) furniture? Because the Duggars have decided to invite a family that has even more kids over for a meal! Who even knew those existed? Then we watch the whole mob invade Silver Dollar City. Jim Bob definitely splits his time...
-
Episode 173 - Judge, Juh Juh Judge, Judge Judge, Juh Juh Juh Judge...Judge.
It is the first Duggar grandson’s first birthday. We watch Pest (kinda) and Anna (mostly) put together a huge kid’s birthday party. This party had everything: a different buffoon on a grill, a huge cake disaster, kids flinging themselves down an inflatable slide… In our Dig, Whitney explores the...
-
Episode 172 - Who Has Two Thumbs and is Totally Encouraged?
It's safe to say that we are thrilled with the number of felines in this episode. Not to mention the lack of Josh compared to last week. The brood is silly with cats! They found two kittens, named them, and then found three more. Even the electrician working on one of their houses found a kitten....
-
Episode 171 - Who Do You Think You Are? I Am!
When you think of Josh, I don't think anyone thinks he would be a good boss. He confirms that in this episode. Lego and Cannon join Ma Keller, Pest, and Anna for a thrilling "bowling match". In our Dig, Whit explores some problematic patterns and behaviors in the Duggar family. We look back at...

Episode 170 - I'd Know Those Hose Anywhere
Pecan Waller and that lady he married stop by the TTM for a visit. Then, a friend of theirs that's a Popeyes franchisee brings over the largest order of Popeyes I've ever heard of. We know this crew loves when other people foot the bill for a meal with the Duggars. He also invites the crew to go...
-
Episode 169 - Business Muffin
***We are aware of Joe's arrest for sexual abuse of a minor We weren't able to get into it in this week's episode, but we will discussing it in depth next week.*** We start this episode with a heavy dose of irony, with Lego telling Cannon she better leave the house so she's not late. Even she…

Episode 167 - It's Not a Tumuh!
Lego Hair plans a family excursion to a property that Grandma Duggar owns. He takes them on a hike through some very rough terrain. The footwear that this family chose was...ill-advised at best. At least in the last scene the kids decide to give Grandma a spa day. In a previous episode recap…

There are some big developments this week. Do you crave sopping wet chicken in a lukewarm-at-best "Flour Tortilla Shell"? The Chicken Kassuhdeeyuz recipe has been found! While the family was hosting some dinner guests, Whit and I discover and dig into a previously unknown ingredient in Tater Tot...
-
Episode 165 - You Eat with your Forehead
We start the episode with the family doing a Mother's Day event. You know that even with Lego on the mic, The Stache was the real draw. Plus,the family gets their picture "made"...slowly but slowly. In our Dig, we explore James Dobson's book "The Strong-Willed Child: Birth Through Adolescence".…

Episode 164 - Vest in Class
Ever wondered how Cannon would fare, having to actually watch multiple little ones and 2 dogs on top of it? Not well. They are pet-sitting 2 puppies and we proceed to watch the kids stuff these poor dogs with lots of cheese, more cheese, and then, cheesy eggs. Poor things. In a follow up to last...
-
Episode 163 - Hey! My Skirt is Down Here!
In this week's episode we get a grand explanation of the J Crew and their snacking habits. Nothing out of the ordinary, except for Hannie trying to break into that delicious...(checks notes)um, garlic in the fridge door? In our Dig, we explore an IBLP Seminar for teen girls and young women called...
-
Episode 162 - It Was Grrreat!
The first half of the recap felt like a clip show for some reason. It was like the editors had some B Roll laying around and figured they would pad out the run time. Put on your gloves and masks because 8 of the brood have strep throat. We wouldn't touch anything in that house, ew. In our Dig…
more -
Episode 161 - Can I Call You Jerk? Or Maybe Smirk?
The King of Beats is back, baby! We watch Lego and Cannon doing a speaking event in DC which sets the stage for them to meet with Kirk Cameron again. The Dug-girls get to take the rest of the fam to Tulsa with no parental supervision; which to be honest, is pretty par for the course. In our Dig…

Episode 160 - He Knows Not What He Dews
Just Dig. Da-Da-Doo-Doot! Due to our first episode back being a double length David Waller love-fest, we decided to do a just-dig episode. We get into the nitty gritty of why it felt like every Duggar was fawning over ole Pecan Waller. If you would like to support the work that we do, head on…

Episode 159 - Chocolate in the Mouth Out of Wedlock
We're back and Digging into 2026! We are starting off the year with a double length episode, "Duggars Down the Aisle." Those clever folks at TLC got us though, it's the wedding of Priscilla and David Waller. It's so unfortunate that the first episode of the year has so much Pest in it. He turns…

more -
Episode 156 - For a Weason
This week's episode was an exploration of Duggar Time. We watch the family show up late to the big fish fry in Little Rock. Don't worry though, Lego Hair has a big secret (yet ineffective) plan. In our Dig, we explore what the family was up to while these episodes were airing. They were on the...
-
Episode 155 - He Gave it a Fucking Subtitle?!?
I'm so jealous, because in this week's episode the Duggars get to go somewhere I always dreamed of going: Space Camp! There weren't any space skirts so the older Duggirls had to stay in their regular uniform. The kids got decked out in a jumpsuit, did the flight simulator, and the mission control...

Episode 153 - I Just Ruined Her Day, I Think
This episode starts with the brood doing bible study in Cannon and Lego Hair's room. The cleanliness of the carpet is suspect and we didn't need to see Lego's bare feet to start. We are in the thick of Speaking Engagement Season. We also catch a glimpse of Famy fishing for a potential singing...
-
Episode 152 - That is a MORMON Couch
Cannon is on the road again! Luckily for the children, Lego is not in charge. They'll have food cooked and their hair will be in decent ponytails this time. Cannon gets to speak to a group of Church moms and teaches them to *checks notes* love their kids and love their husbands. Great talk…

Episode 151 - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th...
We get a check-in from the Pest Nest. We see how an infant Michael is so much like his father, according to Anna. Sits around, drools, sleeps a good amount. Like Smuggar Duggar like son. We get an update on the Taco Lot and watch Anna getting a view of her potential future by taking care of a...
-
Episode 150 - Does She Like Gum?
We are so back, baby! New season, new bingo board. The first episode of Season 6 is a LOT to chew on... to say the least. We are at critical levels of women-can't-stand-him and buffoonery. The OG Snark was impeccable as they really highlighted how utterly inept and worthless Lego Hair is. Tune…

Episode 147 - I'm Daddy!
We've reached the final leg of our big globetrotting adventure. The fam is going to Israel. I think Lego Hair assumed that there was going to be a heavenly choir lightly singing the whole time. Rays of sunlight shooting out from behind big, puffy white clouds, and the Jordan River being full of...
-
Episode 146 - That Uterus is Fuckin' RIPPED!
Oi! The Duggars made it to London! The exchange rate for thumbs-ups must be in their favor because we are thumbs-up heavy. We see the show's (very brave) fixer, let Lego Hair and Cannon drive her vehicle. The kids enjoy some tea time and Lego Hair mortifies at least two members of his family.…

Episode 145 - Ahoy, Mate!
The Brood is going international! We've reached the travel specials and the first destination is Scotland and Ireland. This episode is complete with a tin whistle overhaul of the theme song. If you guessed that you would get Duggar Time and a lot of "what do you mean we?", you'd be correct. Lego...

Episode 144 - The Duggar Male System
It's double-length episode time! TLC has put together another round of Q&A, pulling questions from folks on video and twitter. We do have to question their choice of interview area setup. They put up a background and then proceeded to film with only half of it in the shot. With the family taking…
