Digging Up the Duggars

The producers really ramped up the drama in this one when Pest and Anna confer with Lego and Cannon about a potential move out of state, for a job. Later, the brood goes to collect Joe from his ALERT graduation. In our Dig, we go through the most exciting competition you could imagine: the National Bible Bee!  How do you get kids/teenagers excited about religion? Rote memorization (and its gamification) of course.  If you would like to support the work that we do, head on over to www.buymeacoffee.com/diggingupthedug where you can buy us a coffee, if you would just like to support us in a one-off fashion.

Steve is back to torture Pest and Lego.  He has them training outdoors for the first time.  Little Jordyn is having to have her tonsils out, but it means all the popsicles and ice cream she wants.  We end the episode with the Stache being the only one privy to the “ginder” of Pest and Anna’s next blessing.   In our Dig, Whit explores the Basic Care Bulletin on how to avoid “unnecessary hysterectomies”. It’s the most accurate booklet on women’s health that you can find… put together by a “doctor” and a bunch of volunteer teenagers.If you would like to support the work that we do, head on over to www.buymeacoffee.com/diggingupthedug where you can buy us a coffee, if you would just like to support us in a one-off fashion.

At the Pest Nest, Josh’s helpmeet shows us how she’s trying to cook healthier while still making something children will eat.  Mackynzie has the secret to being able to enjoy this new menu. Meanwhile, at the Tater Tot Mansion, there’s a whole army of people coming over for dinner. Trainer Steve and his family joined the brood. Steve even brought his Pastor, and his family.      In our Dig, we continue the second half of the Andrea Yates story.  General Content Note: This episode covers a heavy true crime and legal case involving severe mental health struggles, tragedy, and violence.  Because those facts are central to the whole story, discussions around these topics are interweaved throughout the episode from start to finish.If you would like to support the work that we do, head on over to www.buymeacoffee.com/diggingupthedug where you can buy us a coffee, if you would just like to support us in a one-off fashion.

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 says she’s most excited for the chance to reallycommunicate some things that are weighing on her and to really be heard. Lego takes multiple opportunities in this episode to state and reconfirm that he’s just there to bone.  **PSA** This is a double length episode, so there’s no dig this week.  If you would like to support the work that we do, head on over to www.buymeacoffee.com/diggingupthedug where you can buy us a coffee, if you would just like to support us in a one-off fashion.
