If there's anything that we should expect out of children it's that they need to carry their weight and contribute to their family's finances. Every kid with a J name within the T.T.M. got rounded up to put in a little elbow grease. Send your kids to clean up a filthy residence you just bought? Check! Have your child grabbing last month's meatloaf? Check! Paint and tile a whole room for ministry? Double Check! In our Dig we crack into Jingy V's latest book, "People Pleaser:Breaking Free from the Burdens of Imaginary Expectations". She somehow manages to take the stress of being a people pleaser, and makes the readers feel even more stressed about it. Enjoy what you hear? Feel like you have a Servant's Heart? Would you like to help support a snarking couple in Arizona? Get on the Gus Bus and head on over to buymeacoffee.com/diggingupthedug . If you would like to grab a jar and become one of the Pickle People, you get ad-free episodes, and even get them early. We post bonus episodes with Duggar content, personal topics, Mildred Mondays (gotta give the people what they want), recipes and other goodies.

Episode 126 - Your Son Just Woke Up from his Nap!
We got a Special, Y'all! We get to see Anna have a baby, and Pest take a nap, give advice nobody wants, and overall be annoying. They should've title this episode "First REAL Duggar Grandchild" because this one is a boy. Move over, Mackynzie! We got to see Hannie be in the big girl's club. And get ready because the amount of Smug in this episode is more than the suggested level for normal consumption. Enjoy what you hear? Feel like you have a Servant's Heart?

Episode 125 - He's Praying at a 5th Grade Level
Those Duggars invade Colorado Springs to speak at Focus on the Family. We get more examples of how, even on the road, the Duggirls have to take care of, well…. everything. We watch Pest really provide for his pregnant wife by taking care of the duffel AND the backpack while his expecting wife pushes the luggage cart that is full to the brim. In our Dig we explore the founder of Focus on the Family, James Dobson, who ironically, continued the family tradition of not really focusing on his family. He's just as frustrating as you can imagine. Enjoy what you hear? Feel like you have a Servant's Heart? Would you like to help support a snarking couple in Arizona?

Episode 124 - Just a Spear, to Take the Edge Off
So Lego is taking Cannon to El Salvador for the first time. She decides to trim up that lego hair piece before they go. What are the kids gonna do with the parents gone? Well, the same as they always do : everything. In our Dig, we explore Mary Pride's book, "The Way Home:Beyond Feminism Back to Reality". The book that is credited with sparking the Quiverfull movement. Be forewarned, Mary sure likes to talk about genitals and the joy of "un-kinky" sex. Enjoy what you hear?

Episode 123 - Don't Sack Talk Me
The Brood (minus Josie and Cannon) make their way to go skiing. We get the triumphant return of "Buy Used Save the Difference", we watch the kids work with some very patient ski instructors, and Lego's buffoon-ery is on absolute display. He must not understand, because when he doesn't listen and is overbearing at home, Cannon looks at him sweetly and praises him. In public...he doesn't get that from anyone. Enjoy what you hear?

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.
