Digging Up the Duggars

Get your sleeping bag ready, 'cause the gang is camping out in front of the house. I hope there's fire extinguisher in the area because Lego Hair is cooking hot dogs and chicken on the grill. Joe was the VIP in this episode. Setting up the tent while Lego stood there uselessly. Coordinating a lost boys' painting project. He's getting a little light shone upon him.

In our Dig, we take a look at the Christian flag. We discuss its genesis, the pledge made to go with it, and we learn of, arguably, the coolest last name ever: Diffendorfer.

TLC was thoughtful this time and didn't make us sit through more footage of the gang driving for 20 hours! We fast forward to them at Niagara Falls. They all talked about how beautiful it was, but there were rainbows everywhere (gasp)! The older ones got to ride a jet boat while the little ones got to go fishing and stay dry.

Appropriate for a show that includes Lego Hair, and Pest, we dig into the IBLP teachings on "irritations". Billy G sure knows how to build a pyramid scheme where you consider yourself the problem. The only appropriate thing to do in response to this is "yielding" all of your rights. We explore Billy's convoluted way of gaslighting his followers into denying how they feel and blame themselves for everything.

On location at the TTM, Lego Hair says the quiet part loud when he says that "We" are gonna start a large scale yard project, and then proceeds to do nothing to help complete it. You know it's a shitshow when the production crew has to step to try and help them finish. We get treated to another montage of Famy attempting to cook and the fam celebrates Anna's birthday.

Summertime has arrived which means you may have seen banners for Vacation Bible School going up around town. We explore the genesis of VBS and the changes over the years. Two different companies run the VBS paraphernalia game and we look into some questionable choices they've made.

The Duggars have such a busy day. Good Morning America is there to watch the, and I quote, "barely controlled chaos." Josie has to go visit the doc, and we meet the author of "Before You Meet Prince Charming". It's a good thing these kids don't have...real school to work around.

In our dig we explore, Sarah Mally, the author of the aforementioned book. It sold like hotcakes in Christian circles. We look at the book, the author, and a barely-veiled fable with an alligator that seems like the only fun one in the story.

No soft opens in this episode, we hard cut to the brood in the Big Apple. We get a total callback to a previous episode while watching Lego struggle to function in a public transit setting. Have you ever wanted to see too many people serve in a very small soup kitchen? Well, you're in luck.

In our Dig, we explore more of the absolute drivel that Billy G liked to spew. It's purposeful drivel, to convince you that yielding your rights, is all part of God's plan. It's all done so you can maintain the patriarchal IBLP system, for him. He can then use his time...uh...writing more of this crap.

We watch the brood run amok in a Kiddie Casino. The tokens were flowing, the cheap pizza was getting devoured, and we see the Dancing King use hard-earned tickets to buy something for Hannie. Super Sweet gesture. We watch 2 of the boys, and Grandma get equipped with new bikes.

In our Dig, we take a look at a book written about the early days of Billy G's cult. It's written by a pastor and it's, surprisingly, not a fluff piece. There's a chapter that is almost a Billy G Burn Book. Good on ya, Wilfred Bockelman.

Welcome to the triumphant return of Dr. Diligence D.D.S! Pest and Joe can't seem to handle the one thing asked of them, before THEIR medical procedure. We then watch, yet again, as Lego tries to bend the rules. He is swiftly shutdown by our new favorite side character of the series. It is so satisfying to watch someone else who will not give in to Lego's BS.

In our Dig, we resume the exploration of this family's parentification, and the effects from it. Whitney thought this Dig was going to be only one froggin' part but it was a juicy topic.

Josie and a random smattering of Duggars head back to Little Rock for a check-up. This, of course, leaves Jessa in charge. Lego Hair was there... and that's the extent of how much he brings to the table in these situations.

In our Dig, we explore how this group loves to repackage parentification, into something the children "beg" to do. They PR spin this kind of thing like a Beyblade. Let It Rip!!!

Watch as the Duggar Boys destroy an innocent taco restaurant. Lego Hair decides to repeatedly tell us the cliff's notes of this episode. "Josh bought a new car lot. It used to be an old taco restaurant". The Dancing King definitely took center stage. Lego Hair bringing a 6-year-old to participate in a major commercial demolition was not as productive as he thought.

As we approach the 3-year anniversary of the Pod, we Dig into a topic briefly mentioned in episode 1; Joseph Hutchens. We take a deeper look into his own crimes and his role in Josh evading consequences for the molestations. It's a he said, he said, he said situation in how Josh's "confession" went down.

*****Listener Warning***** Due to Joseph Hutchens getting convicted of CSAM related charges, we describe the type of material that he got caught with. Listener discretion is advised

Snow Warning! We watch as the TTM is blanketed with 2 feet of snow! We can add to the Duggars Recipe Box with their showcase of "Snow Ice Cream". This is a completely foreign concept to a good ole Arizona couple like us.

In our Dig, we get into a further examination of Jingy V's book. We take a hard look into how what-should-have-been a memoir to recount her upbringing and the after effects of it; were morphed into the faux-self help affair that we ended up with. Remember the key is fighting sin with...more sin. But it's cool because it's sinning for the Lord.
