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 ... more

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 infl... more

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... more

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".

    Makes the work day much more enjoyable. The hosts have great chemistry and rhythm from the first show. The deep dives are also super interesting. I wish I would I would have found this pod cast years ago!

  • I’ve just discovered you!

    Several years into this podcast, I discover it!

    I have committed to starting from the beginning and will be catching up for as long as it takes.

    Thanks for your forensic research. It is many years since I saw some of the programmes on the UK TLC feed and quite honestly, I thought it was a satire but to my growing disbelief started to realise that the Duggars are real! You are confirming all my enormous disquiet and concern about the children in this family.

    Keep up the good work 😊👍

  • Great show

    This is one of my absolute favorite podcasts. I really enjoy discussions about cults from an exvangelical point of view, and these two are an exemplary example of that. Whitney’s empathy is one of the things that draws me back to the podcast again and again - keep that heart tender!! You remind me that caring still matters. :)

  • Absolutely nice, but…

    Very nice and interesting podcast. Maybe a little less personal talks and innuendos between T and W would have made it really perfect.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 148 - State of the Pod 5: ...Fuckin' Tell ME!
Q: Do you think Baby Cannon would have turned out to be decent had she not met Lego hands?
She could have been cool, but I think she had potential to be very different had she not met him. It's tragic to think about how better her life might have been without his influence.
Episode 144 - The Duggar Male System
Q: How do you celebrate birthdays?
Lego gives the usual responses about outings, but points out that they usually take the birthday child and their buddy team instead of the whole family, which might be limiting their sibling relationships.
Episode 144 - The Duggar Male System
Q: How do you stay so humble and grounded in the Lord with all the publicity that you have with your TV show?
Ginger takes this question and responds about their family ministry to teach principles they've learned over the years and keeping things about encouraging families.
Episode 136 - It's an IBLP Anthem!
Q: What is the significance of the interactions that you learned from your team?
They helped me develop skills that allow me to connect with others and made me realize the importance of human interaction, especially in a world focused on digital communication.
