Plus, we’re asking the important questions: who’s being supportive, who’s being shady, and what would we do in Whitney’s shoes?

    Bonus Series: Duggars and the IBLP (Part 2)

    Back by popular demand, we’re reloading some of our most successful podcast episodes of all time - they’re on one of our other favorite shows from the TLC Universe, 19 Kids and Counting! As much as we live for the Whitney updates, we also are ten toes deep on the Duggar updates, and mostly are living for any accountability that comes Josh’s (and others’) way! We’re bringing you all back to the background of the Duggar family so you can see how this monster was created; why he was allowed to behave the way he did and how he thrived in a patriarchal environment where women are second-class citizens who worship their husbands with the “adoring gaze” and men who step out of bounds are only made to “confess” to Church Elders, rather than police. This is the beginning of a more in-depth series that we hope to revisit when the time is right, but we’ve gotten lots of interest and are giving the people what they want!

    Fat Jokes (My Big Fat Fabulous Life - Season 3, Episode 7, Part 1 Recap)

    Are you ready for the biggest face-off since "down goes Frasier"? Good! Because Whit is going head-to-head and pound for pound with a skinny comedienne who thinks fat jokes are the funniest thing since Bugs Bunny. Whit thinks fat jokes are lazy and lack creativity. Either way, we're in trouble when the comedienne comes on the Maney Roy & LauRen show and makes her opinions known. Whit's also having issues in her romantic life, as we know. She's hoping that a ballroom dance number with Lennie might help to ease some of the tension in their relationship. But will a cake taste testing go too far when it comes to eating healthy? Will it ruin Whitney's chances of achieving her goals? Will trainer Will ever take Whitney seriously? All things will be revealed in this recap episode!
