So, Burdo, we put a poll on Patreon asking people what the patrons wanted us to do our next big

0:09.2

series on a public figure or something, and overwhelmingly

0:15.5

the patrons voted for the Duggers. And people have been asking us to cover the Duggers for

0:24.1

eight, ten years plus. I can imagine. And whenever we would get emails or comments on YouTube,

0:30.4

I would always think, I wonder who these people are? I mean, I just had no clue. And for the past

0:38.3
