Key Discussion Points & Insights

Family Life and the Sickness Domino

[02:55 – 06:49]

• Jinger details her family’s recent week battling sickness: congestion, fevers, and vomiting that hit every household member, including their kids Felicity, Evie, and Finn.
• The hosts joke about how quickly illness moves through families, referencing Jinger's upbringing in the large Duggar family.
• Jinger recalls a time growing up when the flu stuck around her home for a month and a half, yet she and her brother John David managed to avoid it by being obsessively careful.

[12:00 – 24:06]

• Jeremy recounts his nerve-wracking experience at the bank trying to deposit $6,000 in cash from a car sale (for a friend) and discovering $500 was fake movie money.

  “So I’m standing there at the counter with $6,000 and all of these counterfeit bills being poured, pulled out by the bank teller. And I’m just thinking, I’m done. Like, they’re gonna bring in the cops…” – Jeremy [14:02]

• Jinger, alarmed, Googled the legal consequences of unknowingly depositing counterfeit cash—potentially a federal crime.
• The bank teller quickly recognized the bills as “movie money,” which only served as a warning (not crime/charges).
• They discuss how easy it is to buy movie money online and the likelihood a Facebook Marketplace buyer intentionally slipped in fake cash.

  “In props we trust… For motion picture purposes only.” – Jeremy [20:16]

• Valuable lesson: Always check every bill when dealing with cash during private sales, even if it feels awkward.

Used Car Sales and Reality TV Flashback

[24:06 – 42:44]

• Jeremy jokes about who the “shady” person is in every car sale—buyer or seller.
• Jinger reminisces about her time buying and flipping cars, as shown on “Counting On.”

  “I did have some money. And the guys… would often go out and buy cars and they got some really good deals… so I thought, I’m going to buy four or five cars and then see if we can flip them.” – Jinger [30:18]

• The couple react to clips from the show, sharing behind-the-scenes details about auto auctions and reality production mishaps, including camera crews accidentally captured on screen.

  “It’s like mice when you turn on the light, or cockroaches. You turn on the light and they all just scatter.” – Jinger [37:30]

• Insiders’ advice:
  • Buy hail-damaged cars for huge discounts—usually only cosmetic damage.
  • Beware of state-specific car issues, like rust on cars from snowy states and flood damage.
  • Pinstripes on family cars can signal past accidents—dealers use them to distract from misaligned doors or repainted areas.

    “If they have this pinstripe down them like this, that’s a telltale sign that it’s been wrecked.” – Auction staff, show clip [39:49]

• Jinger admits she never bought or sold cars alone—she always relied on brothers for expertise.

Thrifting, Family Economics, and More

[42:44 – 54:03]

• Growing up thrifting and going to estate sales, Jinger is committed to buying used—furnishings, cars, and kid essentials.

  “Why would I go spend, like, $600 on a solid wood bed frame when I can get… two really great solid wood bed frames for 100 bucks?” – Jinger [43:06]

• She espouses the virtues of vintage solid wood versus particle board furniture, noting durability (and repairability).
• Jeremy shares stories of both frustration (thrift store not buying nice clothes) and success (finding $1,500 designer shoes for $40).

  “If thrifting gave you that kind of return every time I’d be into it. I just think that’s a rare.” – Jeremy [53:02]

• Jinger encourages patience and persistence in thrifting: “I won’t buy anything half the time. But then when I find a deal, I find a deal.” [53:44]

Reflections on Family, Personality, and Parenting

[45:07 – 49:08]

• The couple reflects on individuality within large families and are already noticing their own children’s differing personalities.

  “You look at your sisters… you’re all very, like, resourceful and you solve problems well. But there’s unique personalities for each.” – Jeremy [46:42]

• They talk about the distinct temperaments of Felicity, Evie, and Finn, and how these traits emerge over time.

[Ginger Duggar]

I have to say, I'm so glad you're sitting here with us. Not just because you're not sick. I'm so thankful you're not sick, but I'm also thankful that, like, you're not in jail right now.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. Had a close call. Okay, this is crazy. I gotta tell all of you guys this story. This has never happened to me.

[Ginger Duggar]

Well, you've been in jail before, but.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Bringing up my past for one day, one night. So I go to the bank. We had a friend from out of state. They had a car on our property that they were selling. And a guy shows up at the house who was, like, wild. They make the exchange. The guy gives him $6,000 in cash. Not very expensive car. It was a used old car. But I needed to get that money to our friend out of state. I take $6,000 cash to the bank, and as I'm depositing the money, the machine would stop halfway through as the money, you know, the money's going through, it stops. And I'm looking at the lady, she goes, oh, takes a bill out. I'm going, what is going on in my head? She looks at the other. There's people around. She goes, we've got counterfeit money here. I'm like, what if you have a bold summer weight loss goal, but injections aren't for you. Listen to what doctors have said about Lean.

[Ginger Duggar]

They said this supplement is as close as we've come to the benefits of those popular injections.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah, like injections, Lean was created to help maintain healthy blood sugar and help control appetite and cravings. But the rare ingredients in Lean are also designed to help burn fat by converting fat into energy. And the best part, no needles, just real results.

[Ginger Duggar]

Doctors have created a healthier way to lose weight by capturing the power of natural ingredients.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

What's going on, guys? Ginger and Jeremy here. We're back for another episode of the Ginger and Jeremy podcast. And if you're not already following us on socials, go to TikTok, go to Instagram, follow ingerandjeremy. And we put up a bunch of clips from the show. Sometimes we put up some funny behind the scenes, so you'll want to be sure to follow along there. But we're glad you're back for another episode. Ginge, how you doing?

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, welcome back. I am hanging in there. As you can probably hear, I have a lot of congestion. I have been sick. I was sick for. I think this is like, actually, is this a week? We're going on a week?

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah.

[Ginger Duggar]

Cause it's Saturday.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

I think you can hear it.

[Ginger Duggar]

My voice sounds like Saturday. That's wild. That is so wild. And Jeremy, I don't know what's. What's going on. Maybe he's. Maybe he got just a tiny bit of this stuff. But I got sick and then a couple days later, Finn got sick. And then a couple days after that, Evie got sick and Felicity.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Felicity started. She started it.

[Ginger Duggar]

So she started it like a week and a half before any of us got anything. She came down with a fever and then had a little congestion for a day, Like a fever for a day and then congestion for like two days. And it wasn't that terrible. But I think because I was up taking care of Finn and all the things, you know, and then Evie.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Well, it's tough.

[Ginger Duggar]

It's a little tough. So I didn't get a lot of stuff.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

It's tough for you to recover. I think I dodged it. I think Evie got it the worst.

[Ginger Duggar]

She did. She actually had, like a stomach component to it.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So she was like, she's the only.

[Ginger Duggar]

One who's vomiting a couple times.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Oh, poor girl.

[Ginger Duggar]

It was really, really bad.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

But she got hit the hardest. But I think any families with kids can relate, though, where it's like dominoes.

[Ginger Duggar]

One person gets it and then you think, oh, great, we're almost over this. Like, I can't wait to go out and be over it. 48 hours has passed. Let's get outside. And then the next person gets it. And then it's like another 48 hours, then the next person. And the other night, Jeremy honestly thought he was going to get hit with a sickness. He came home and he was like, it saved me. I'm Gonna feel so sick. I think it's coming on. And then you bounce back.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. I woke up the next day feeling fantastic.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, it's good.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

But that must have been crazy in your house growing up.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, my goodness.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Was the domino just nonsense?

[Ginger Duggar]

Felicity actually said the other day she has been referring to my family as the Duggars, which is proper. But she. She said the other day when I think Finn had gotten sick and maybe Evie was just starting to get sick. And I was like, oh, man, this sickness is just not gonna go away. And she sat there and she was like, well, I'm sure it was really bad for the Duggars. And I was like, what do you mean? And she was talking about that, how we must have all gotten sick at the house. And I said, yeah, there were a couple times. I remember one time in particular where two of us did not catch the sickness. It went around the house for a month and a half. It was the flu, really. It was influenza. And it went around the house, and everybody was getting sick. They were dropping like flies. They were sick for a week at a time. Taking Tamiflu. And John, David and I, we had this thing. We were like, we're washing our hands nonstop, and we're taking a couple packets of emergency a day, and then also whatever else we were taking on top of vitamins and stuff. We didn't get sick for a month and a half. Really. The family was sick. We were living in the house and didn't get it.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You and John?

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Strongest immune systems of the bunch.

[Ginger Duggar]

Well, I don't know about that, but we did everything that we could to stay away from the fam, and we didn't get sick. We probably didn't, like, help anybody. We were like, no, we're not going to get near you.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

But were there other times where you just felt like you guys were sick for ages? Cause you said this week. You were like, this week has felt like a month.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, yeah. It was so long. And I think that there were a lot of components to this week. So for one, we had. You know, we had a couple things that were happening in our calendar. So, yeah, for my family, that did happen, by the way, I totally missed that question. That happened. We would get sick.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

I mean, you. Literally, for months.

[Ginger Duggar]

I'm sure we would get sick for like, a month and a half. And it was rough. But anywho, we this week had a lot of fun things that were happening. And one of the things was Felicity, our dear, dear friends, who are more like family, they were hosting A tea party for Felicity's birthday and it was so special, I mean amazing. They had like 8 to 10 of her friends who they had invited and it was supposed to be super sweet. Like they come to our friend's house, have this amazing tea party, have little party favors, whole nine yards and moms are supposed to be there. No, I have some pictures though, but it was supposed to be so lovely. Well, I ended up getting sick right before so I wasn't able to take Felicity. So one of our friends came, she drove to our house, picked up the girls, took them to our friend's house for Felicity's birthday party. And it was the weirdest thing not being at my own daughter's birthday. And so all these other moms and daughters are there for the tea and I wasn't there. We want to take a break from this episode to tell you about function health.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. And this week Ginger and I got educated on something. If you're dealing with mood swings all the time and feel like it's a constant, your genes might actually be contributing to this. There is a gene called MTHFR that helps your body process folate, a nutrient essential for making DNA. And it can actually disrupt how your brain makes the neurotransmitters that keep you steady and clear headed. And if that gets mutated, it can affect you with drowsiness, anxiety, even depression, migraines, chronic pain. And you wouldn't know it, but the good news is you can measure it and do something about it.

[Ginger Duggar]

Function gives you access to genetic testing available as an add on to see if you carry MTHFR mutations.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. So look, this is a health platform that gives you access to to aspects of your health that you wouldn't otherwise know. Like I didn't even know about MTHFR and how it mutates and how it can affect your mood for that week. But function informs you, it gives you data, real data about your health. The function app friends, it's worth it for your health and it's not only going to show you stuff like that would be helpful like something like this. But even if there are life threatening conditions that you need to deal with with your doctor, we love function health. You will too. So learn more about function health but about your health by going to functionhealth.com.

[Ginger Duggar]

Ginger we want to take a break from this episode to tell you about Cozy Earth.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Our Saturday mornings are a very special time in our household because we are woken up every morning by our two little girls who come running into the room to join us. In bed. And then we get Finn out of his crib and we all sit in bed and watch cartoons. And I'll tell you what's made that even better. Cozy Earth.

[Ginger Duggar]

Our cozy Earth bamboo sheets are buttery soft. And it is the perfect place for all of us to hang out. I mean, it's hard to get out of bed because it's so comfortable. Yeah, that's kind of the problem you want to have in your bed.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

And the good news is that on Saturdays, we don't have to get out of bed.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, yeah. It feels like we're at a luxury resort.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Oh, yeah. And we watch cartoons. About 20 minutes into the first cartoon, Ginger gets, goes downstairs and makes bacon and pancakes, which is phenomenal.

[Ginger Duggar]

Kind of amazing. But they also have a risk free purchase option, so you can try their sheets for 100 nights and return them if you don't like them. But we know you're not going to return them because they are so good.

[Ginger Duggar]

Now back to the episode. So it was a little sad moment, but Felicity and Evie came back just so excited. I mean, they had the best time. So that was one of the reasons why I was like, of all the times for that to happen, you know, I feel like that's with sickness. That's the hardest part is just that FOMO because you don't want to miss out on what's happening around you. And it's just hard enough to slow down as a mom and not be able to get up and do all the things.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Do you ever find yourself trying to plan your, like, I was kidding. We we've with somebody this week about the sickness, but like trying to get sick to get over it because you've got a huge week the next week or something where you're like, oh, yeah, trying to get the germs because you.

[Ginger Duggar]

Don'T want to miss an event what's happening the week after? Yeah, for sure. I thought about that, though. I was like, thank the Lord it was this week because we have stuff happening the next couple weeks. We have guests in town. Your parents are coming to town, friends from Laredo are coming, and we also have Pastor John's memorial. There's so much that's happening that I don't wanna miss, and so I'd much rather be sick this week.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah, that's true.

[Ginger Duggar]

Anyhow. But, Jer, I am very thankful. I have to say, I'm so glad you're sitting here with us. Not just because you're not sick. I'm so thankful you're not sick, But I'm also thankful that, like, you're not in jail right now.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. Had a close call with prison, so. Okay, this is crazy. I gotta tell all of you guys a story because this has never happened to me, but.

[Ginger Duggar]

Well, you've been in jail before, but.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Bringing up my past for one day, one night.

[Ginger Duggar]

You've already shared that story publicly.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

It was one night. Yeah.

[Ginger Duggar]

We can set that out.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

No, I want to keep that in. That's so funny. Yeah. So I had deja vu, in other words. So I go to the bank. We had a friend from out of state. They had a car on our property that they were selling. And so one of the college kids was, like, helping them sell it. And a guy shows up at the house who was, like, wild. And the guy selling it was, like, this guy's, you know, crazy. Yeah. But he's here to buy the car. So they make the exchange. The guy gives him $6,000 in cash. Not very expensive car. It was a used old car. But I needed to get that money to our friend out of state. So I take $6,000 cash to the bank, gonna deposit it, and then send him a wire. And as I'm depositing the money, the machine would stop halfway through. As the money, you know, the money's going through, it stops. And I'm looking at the lady. She goes, oh. Takes a bill out. I look at the machine. It says, suspect document. I'm like, what?

[Ginger Duggar]

So bad.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So then she puts it back in, stops again, takes another bill out. I'm going, what is going on in my head? She looks at the other teller. There's people around. She goes, we've got counterfeit money here. I'm like, what?

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, no.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

She does it five times. $500 of counterfeit money. And I'm sitting there, like, shocked at the bank. All this stuff going through my head, like, oh, they think I'm trying to deposit fake money. So, of course, I give my dumb excuses like, yeah, my buddy was selling a car. This is the cash from the car. Thinking they don't believe me. They are just going, yep, we've heard that one before. So I'm fascinated by this. The guy next to me who's making a deposit is fascinated by it as well. He's going, whoa, there's fake money. He, like, feels really bad for me. So he's like, oh, I'm so sorry. Thinking I'm losing out on all this money, which I wasn't, but my buddy was, unfortunately. And so I'm standing there at the counter with $6,000 and all of these counterfeit bills being poured, pulled out by the bank teller. And I'm just thinking, I'm done. Like, they're gonna bring in the cops, they're gonna do an investigation, they're gonna run fingerprints or whatever. And it ended up not being that bad because the money was so obviously fake. The teller let me feel it. It was like just regular paper. And so she goes, yeah, sir, sorry, I'm gonna have to write a report on all of these bills. You're gonna be here a little while because I've gotta do an individual report for each one. And I'm like, this is crazy. So I started asking her questions like, do you ever see this? She's like, yeah, we've seen counterfeit money before, but nothing like this. And so, like, the tellers are fascinated.

[Ginger Duggar]

We're in LA too.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Other customers are like. Like, one guy gave me his condolences, like, as he left, like, I'm so sorry, buddy. I'm like, yeah, thanks.

[Ginger Duggar]

It was really 20 years.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. Like, all right, last taste of freedom here. So I'm sitting there just like, the spectacle at the bank. And so I asked me, yeah, and.

[Ginger Duggar]

When you texted me, I actually looked up on ChatGPT. I looked up to see what can happen if you are trying to deposit money at the bank. And it's. Even if it's movie money and it said the teller will spot it quickly, the bill will be confiscated, you may be questions questioned, and you won't get credit for it. And in worst case scenario, if it looks like you knowingly tried to pass this counterfeit currency, it will lead to federal charges, up to 20 years in prison and a hefty fine.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Oh, my goodness.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah. So that. That's what I looked up as you had texted me that.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

And I was like, I was coming home.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, my word. Like, what in the world?

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So look at. Look at this. I'm going to show you guys on the camera here. This is. This is the photo of what it looked like. So it says suspect document. As I'm depositing this and this is, this is all the. All the bills. Next to the teller's hand. Next to the teller's hand, there is all the money. And I'm just sitting there like, oh, great. So I say, can I go have a seat while you do this?

[Ginger Duggar]

You know, I'm about to pass out.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

She said, yeah. So she says, yeah, that's fine. So I bolted out the door. No, I'm kidding. Hey, guys, we want to take a quick break from this episode to talk to you about Magic Spoon.

[Ginger Duggar]

So if you know me, you know I love my eggs. I eat them for breakfast every morning. But the other day I switched it up. All the Magic Spoon cereals are sitting there. My kids are about to eat cereal. And I was like, you know what? Because it's Magic Spoon Spoon. I can actually enjoy this because for years I would never eat cereals because of all of the side effects. I just feel terrible when I eat regular cereal. And Magic Spoon has protein in their cereals. So you're getting 13 grams of protein with 0 grams of sugar and 4 grams of net carbs. That's it. That's incredible.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

I've always loved cereal. But to see gingerbread get hooked on cereal instead of eggs. Magic Spoon, the magic is real. I've got to just say, cuz Ginger is a woman of habit. But I saw her eating cereal for breakfast the other day and I went.

Policies issued by Western Southern Life Assurance Company not available in certain states. Price is subject to underwriting and health questions. So, I mean, she's got my id, Whatever. So I go sit down. Like, five minutes later, she comes over and goes, hey, you're good. This is movie money. So because it's actually play money, it's not, like Legal tender or whatever, she's like, we don't have to do a report.

[Ginger Duggar]

That's so wild.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Because it's essentially a toy. Like, it's categorized as, like, a toy. So movie money. You can buy, like, $20,000 of movie money on Amazon for, like, 50 bucks. And it's very clearly not the real thing.

[Ginger Duggar]

Cause it's printed saying it's movie money.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. So instead of in God we trust, it says in props we trust. And then all over the place, it has. For motion picture purposes only.

[Ginger Duggar]

Okay, there's. So if it was like, if that guy legit had a bill that was looking like it was real, like he had printed it, and it didn't have all that on there saying it was. If it didn't say it was movie money, it would have been a different story.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. It would have been like, if he was trying to get over. Like, if I was putting money into the bank, trying to make them think it was real, I don't think I would have necessarily been in huge trouble because I think they know me well enough at the bank.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

I think there's a lot they would have to look at, motive and all this stuff. But potentially it wasn't that much money.

[Ginger Duggar]

Really.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

She would have had. Yeah. 500 out of 6,000. But she would have had to write a report for every single bill. And I'm sure it would have gone on their record like that. I, as a customer, tried to get one over on them. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. Ginger Duggar's husband, you know, trying to traffic in fake money. So she's like, yeah, this is just. And she gave him back to me. So I have him in my office. I should have brought him in today, but crazy. $500, fake money. So I had to call my buddy and go, hey, dude, I'm so sorry. You're out 500 bucks. And I think he sold it to someone, like, on Facebook, Marketplace or something. So there's no way to really find that Guy.

[Ginger Duggar]

That's insane.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So now I'm just wondering, like, is that guy. Did that guy do it intentionally? And if so, why didn't he try to save more money? If you're willing to lie and cheat, well, you probably only 500 out of.

[Ginger Duggar]

6,000 because he thinks you're gonna look through it and find it.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. Okay, so that is what it made me think. Okay. If you're selling stuff, like where there's a cash exchange, you really do need to look at all the money.

[Ginger Duggar]

Mm. And it can be awkward in the moment. Like, we talked about that. Like, it could be awkward to sit there and challenge the person. Like, make sure. Hold up every bill, make sure it's legit. But at the same time, it's a transaction. So you need to go push past the awkwardness to do that to make sure that it's legit, because you don't know this person. And, yeah, it looks like you're not believing them or you're judging their character.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. But it's holding your head up to.

[Ginger Duggar]

The sunlight every single day at the same time. It's worth it.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. Well, unfortunately, he lost 500 bucks, and.

[Ginger Duggar]

Thankfully, it was just 500.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah, but that's crazy. So in movies, you know, when the car blows up and the trunk full of cash goes everywhere, they're not obviously using real money. They're using movie money.

[Ginger Duggar]

Crazy. And you know what the funny thing is, though? That amount, the 500, that person had texted us and said, oh, you should just keep 500 and go on a nice dinner date.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah, because we let him keep the car.

[Ginger Duggar]

We let him keep the car at our place. And I was like, no, you just keep that extra and come visit us. And so that's what I said. And then. That's wild.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So they did end up losing the 500. We got it. So we're gonna take this movie money down for a dinner date. Just kidding. So what's crazy is if you were to use that money itself, like, only that money, anybody who holds it would go, oh, this is fake.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So it only really works in a pile of cash.

[Ginger Duggar]

Pile of money.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Which is probably why he only did $500 worth and, like, put it throughout.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yep.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

But then you're still counting it because.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, there's no way, like, he for sure planted that, because there's no way that if you went to the bank to get money, it's not coming from the bank. So he had to have. He placed our bet. So.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

What a punk thing to do.

[Ginger Duggar]

It's crazy.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Crazy. Okay, so you know what that got me thinking, though, Ginge? Was because this was selling cars. And then all the shifty, shady business of selling cars and the losing the 500, dealing with dishonest people. Usually it's car salesmen who are the dishonest people. Right? Isn't that kind of like.

[Ginger Duggar]

He might be the cliche walkie?

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Might be the car salesman.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Our friend who.

[Ginger Duggar]

No, no, no, no. The guy who bought it. He might be reselling it.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Oh, true.

[Ginger Duggar]

So I'm gonna go look up that car on the market.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You should go look up that car on the market.

[Ginger Duggar]

He probably put it back on the market.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

He's really trying to make a profit, this guy. But you know what it reminded me of? There was a time in your life when you sold cars.

[Ginger Duggar]

Or at least I invested in them.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You invested in cars?

[Ginger Duggar]

I did go to the auctions and stuff, but I didn't. I don't know.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So your brothers. Because a lot of your brothers sell cars. And by the way, they have been so helpful over the years because they know all the lies that car salesmen tell. And it's so crazy. It's like car salesmen, they used. Car salesmen will have a certain set of lies, and they just recycle them. And so I remember years ago, I think it was Jed came to Laredo, and I was looking at a Toyota Sequoia, and it looked pretty good. And I'm like, hey, this is a good deal. I love a Sequoia. And so we went and talked with the guy, and the guy gave all the lies.

[Ginger Duggar]

He said, mom's.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Or it's my wife's. She loves this car.

[Ginger Duggar]

She's never driven over the speed limit.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. Never driven. Only on high. And then said there's a couple things where she's like, she doesn't want to sell it, but. And there was a circumstance and me being going like, okay, that sounds good. Immediately, I think it was Jed just, like, spotted all of it and was like, nope, that's not true. That's something they say. That's not true. That's something they say. Look here. These seats have been removed and swapped out. These aren't factory. These are. You know, it's probably been an accident here and just, like, broke it all down. I was just like, oh, wow. Like, immediately saw through all of it.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, it's wild. Insane.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So it's a wild world, but it's one you enter into. And so then that got me as I was in my office with my fake money and My poor buddy being robbed of $500 because he sold a car and didn't check every bill. It got me thinking about the time you learned that. And then I pulled up some of the clips from the show.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, wow.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

And this was from Counting On. So I wanna watch a couple of these clips. But this is from when you and I had either just met, like, but I don't know if we were, like, interested in each other.

[Ginger Duggar]

Okay.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

But I want to pull it up. You can tell me when these.71B auto auction. What's 71B auto auction?

[Ginger Duggar]

It's like, talk about it. Yeah, it's an auto auction that my family would frequent. And we would just go there to buy cars for, like, a lot of the siblings who were in car business and friends, they would go there to buy vehicles for their lots or just to flip and trade or just to buy for themselves. So really, I remember going there. Yeah. And I think that's where we filmed that day. Pretty sure we would go to a lot of different auctions. Copart, that was another one that we would frequent. But okay, well, 71B, they have. They would, like, serve food. That's what he would be.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Was it good food?

[Ginger Duggar]

No, they serve food.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Okay, so watch this. By the way, this clip opens, and I'm just looking at the opening frame and your expressions, your facial expressions are out of control.

[Ginger Duggar]

I have not seen this in forever.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

Today, some of my brothers and I are going to a car auction to find some cars that can flip. I need some advice, like, from square.

[Ginger Duggar]

One, all the way, all the way.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

Out, all the way down the line. I think in our family, all the way down to James and Justin, they have bought and sold cars, a couple of them, actually, before they even had a driver's license or permit. And so I saw them investing in it and it ended up being a.

[Ginger Duggar]

Good deal for them.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

And so I figured I try to learn the trade as well.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

All right, let's go.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Oh, yes, there it is. Oh, you can look at the miles.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

You're. That tells you you can figure out pretty quick what something's going to sell.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

For John, David, Joseph, Jed and Jir, they were all along on this adventure, the auction, trying to pick out a car.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Okay.

[Ginger Duggar]

Do you know how. Go ahead.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Well, first reaction to that.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, a lot of makeup and Interesting. So I loved going to auctions and I still would love to go to auctions to this day. Really?

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So do that on a date night, Ginger.

[Ginger Duggar]

Well, the thing is with the auctions, like, there's so Much that's happening. You have to make a decision so quick, which is nerve wracking with cars. Like we just, you know, talking about that car, you don't know within two minutes when it's coming through. If you don't get there early enough to check on the cars beforehand. Like, we're walking around right as the sun is coming up and you're trying to see, okay, what's here? What does this car look like? And that's when you can walk around it. Because when they pull it through the bay, you have a short amount of time to make a very quick decision. And so if you, if you buy a lemon, the car can be running when it comes through, but as soon as it pulls through, it might not be running. And then you just bought a car and now what am I gonna do with it? So a lot of those guys will just like, okay, man, I bought a car. That sucks. I'm just gonna run it back through. And so they'll do it next time. They'll just leave it and just run.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

It back through and hope someone else gets it.

[Ginger Duggar]

Pretty much that's exactly what happens.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

It's a shady business.

[Ginger Duggar]

Can be.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So you're showing up early and what made you wanna do this? Like, did you just have some cash and go, hey, I want to invest in cars?

[Ginger Duggar]

I did have some money. And the guys, like, they would often go out and buy cars and they got some really good deals. Because what happens is, I don't know like a ton about cars, but this is the side of it where I saw them making money. They would go and find a car that an insurance company took. And those, I guess more would be Copart. So like at Copart auctions, then you would have cars that had a small issue, but then they were claimed by insurance. And so they might have a salvage title. And you're not able to, you know, like, not a lot of people are gonna buy them, but the insurance company's take it. And then it ends up at this auction.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Sure.

[Ginger Duggar]

So we actually ended up getting some cars that were hail damaged. We drove hail damaged cars.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Hail damaged are the greatest cars because oftentimes you don't even notice the damage. The insurance company has to total the whole thing.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yep.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So here's a little pro tip that I learned from you and your brothers. If you're trying to get a good car inexpensively, look for hail damage, salvage title. Because it's just aesthetic. The insurance company looks and goes, okay, for us to fix every point that's damaged, we have to basically fix the entire inter exterior of the car. Not worth it. We'll total it. But nothing's wrong with the vehicle inside engine, it's just a few dents. And the hail damage ones we had.

[Ginger Duggar]

We had a Toyota Sequoia.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Toyota Sequoia. We also had a Venza.

[Ginger Duggar]

Toyota Venza.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

And you could not tell it was hail damage.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, you couldn't.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You have to like look on the top and go, oh, okay, yeah, here's some bits.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah. And we drove those for years and.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You get at a fraction of the cost.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah. And the only reason we got rid of, you know, the Sequoia was because it was like, like, you know, it was an older car and we were ready to upgrade and so we got another car, got another great deal on a car and we're super happy with that. And so that's part of it though. Like when you get something that's hail damaged, it's the way to go. Now you have to be so careful because there are states where if you buy from a certain state, it could be all rusted because it's like, you know, Wisconsin or Michigan or something where they have a lot of snow. Well, then there's. On the roads they're gonna have salt. So then all the undercarriage can be rust from that. And so look at you. There are certain things. Well, no, I'm not a car expert. These are just little things that I've heard from the, from the bros. And then there are other things you have to watch out for, like the flood damage cars. And so there, there are certain things to avoid. But anyhow, this day I just decided, I was like, okay, I have so much excess of money just sitting here in a bank account and you know, it wasn't that much, but I thought, I'm going to buy four or five cars and then see if we can flip them. So one of the cars I bought, I don't know if it was this day or another day, but I bought a smart car, which was basically like a little coffin. I'm telling you. That was terrifying. I, I bought it at this auction and when we were going to drive them home, I was like, okay, you take this car, you take that car. Some of the brothers and friends that were there and I hopped in this thing and I like, it accelerated a tiny bit and when I pushed on the brake, it felt like the back wheels came off the ground because it was so touchy.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

It was like a cartoon.

[Ginger Duggar]

The brakes were so touchy. And it literally felt like that's what happened? Because the way that it stopped, I mean, I literally was like, from the front to the back of the car. I thought, I'm only driving maybe 20 minutes home. But I'm not about to drive this thing. Cause it's terrifying, really. So I got out and I drove one of the bigger rigs that I bought. I was like, I'm not gonna drive.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

How much would that Smart car. How much do you think you bought it for at the auction and then would have sold it for.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, dang, it's been a minute. So I don't even remember. I don't remember how much that was worth at that time.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

But you might have bought it for what, five, six grand and sold it for nine?

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, maybe something like that. Maybe something like that. Yeah. There was enough margin there to where, if it needed. If something needed a little work, you could put in the work for, I don't know, a grand. And then you still get two out of it or three. But, yeah, so you'd make. You know, it's like quick money if you can sell it quick. But the trick is, like, I didn't know anything about cars, but the boys did. And so if they were like, this is a car I would buy. It's a Toyota, it's a Honda, it's something that's gonna be great. Lexus. Then I would buy a car, and then they would send it to their mechanic or whatever, fix up whatever needed to be fixed up.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Or they would fix a lot of it.

[Ginger Duggar]

Or they'd fix it.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah.

[Ginger Duggar]

And then I just give them a commission on whatever they sold. So I did that a couple times, but I didn't really go beyond that. I think that was about.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So we got married. And you still had a couple cars selling when we got married.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, because I had. I had done it a couple times over.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah.

[Ginger Duggar]

I don't even remember how many times. So those cars did sell pretty quick, I think the ones I got. And they were good cars. And I got. I got, like, a sports car hybrid thing, and I think I ended up selling that to a friend. And it was probably one of the best ones I had. I kind of kicked myself for a bit because I was like, I should have held onto it for myself because I ended up having, like, a decent car, but it was just a nicer car. And, yeah, as far as I know, she drove it for a long time, and it was great.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Wow. Okay.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

Ginger has been going to car auctions with my dad and my mom.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Did any of your other sisters for.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

A really long time. And so she's loved the being in that environment, watching them buy cars. Shanna would sell cars, resell them stuff.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah. Later.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

I'm not really surprised that she's kind of branching out in this way and wanting to do it herself.

[Ginger Duggar]

82. Yeah, that's gonna go high.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

That's gonna go super high.

[Ginger Duggar]

That's super low.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

Miles.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

82'S low.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

I've never purchased a car of my own at a car auction. I've been here 82's high throughout the years with my brothers and my dad.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

I remember that hat, you know, get you one of these ginge. That's what you want. Free.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

Let's write this one down.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

This one.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

The miles. Good, I guess, for this.

[Ginger Duggar]

When I saw this.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Wait a second.

[Ginger Duggar]

Honda Pilot.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

No, but did you. Did you see that clip? Watch this. You gotta look.

[Ginger Duggar]

Scott.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah, you gotta look close. Watch the producer and the PA sneak out.

[Ginger Duggar]

There's Scott.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

There's Scott.

[Ginger Duggar]

Scott, run.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

When I saw the mc, I was really excited because that's funny.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Okay, so that's a side of reality TV that sometimes that stuff sneaks in. And I was just watching this, I went, oh, there they are.

[Ginger Duggar]

If they would have walked, normal people would have just thought that they were another person at the auction. But because he's, like, hiding behind the car, and then he runs, and then the PA comes, he looks both ways, and then he runs behind him.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So that was one of the things when we were filming. You see, like, the angles, and you see what they're going for. So you've got a cameraman here, you've got a cameraman there, you've got your audio. But then things would happen where you would move. Like, let's say there's a scene in our kitchen and we're cooking, and you go, oh, I'm gonna go grab the spatula. And you run over and grab it. It's like. It's like they all scatter, you know, like.

[Ginger Duggar]

It'S like mice when you turn on the light, or cockroaches. You turn on the light and they all just scatter.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

They scatter. Like, depending on where you move, they scatter the opposite way because. And you'd go, oh, sorry, guys.

[Ginger Duggar]

Or you try not to move too quickly. So if you saw that, okay, I need to go over to that drawer to get the spatula and all the crews over there.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Or you'd say something.

[Ginger Duggar]

Then I would be like, well, I guess I need a spatula now. Oh. And then you kind of like this thing and Then they'd back up, but there's always Scott.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Like, Scott would be on his iPad.

[Ginger Duggar]

Like this, and he's taking notes, and he just.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

He would, like, realize and speed off. That was so funny because there was this constant dynamic where, like, I would seriously apologize sometimes, but then you're on camera. You can't, you know, oh, sorry, guys. It's like, who are you talking to?

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So you just have to kind of feel rude. But you're moving, and they're all moving and, you know, around you. And it was such a funny dynamic. But then guys would get caught.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

And either they were being lazy, they weren't paying attention, or they're in an impossible situation. That was funny, too, when you would see, like, Bill is on boom, and he's holding the boom, and the cameras start to move, and he's like, I can't go anywhere.

[Ginger Duggar]

He's like, now where am I?

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Where do I go?

[Ginger Duggar]

You guys have put me especially in small rooms. Like, I feel like our house in Laredo. That happened all the time because you literally couldn't go anywhere. Or they're chasing a kid, like, in the big house all the time. Even though it was a huge home, they would be filming, and you had a couple crews filming at the same time. And that was also something. They're following somebody gathering laundry in the house, and they walk into a room and they're like, oh, no, there's the other crew. Like, they're there because you're following a kid. And so that happened all the time.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

That's really funny. That's just something I noticed. That's a very. Yeah, very. I forgot that about.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

I was really excited because several of my friends had the exact same car and it had been really reliable and didn't really need a lot of maintenance.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You've changed a lot.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

I knew it would be a dependable.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

Car, thankfully, the C36. We'll look at that.

[Ginger Duggar]

Alrighty.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

I think Ginger probably could get to the point where she'd be, I guess, car savvy, if you will.

[Ginger Duggar]

Thanks, Joe.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

This one here. This one here has miles, but I think it's been wrecked before.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

She's very, very wise. She won't just make a rash decision. She's willing to learn from others, and I think that's a great thing.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

On a lot of these vehicles, if they have this pinstripe down them like this, that's a telltale sign that it's been wrecked.

[Ginger Duggar]

Usually because it had another paint job done.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

They put these pinstripes on there. To help it draw your attention away from the door lines.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, no.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

To help make it look like it's lined up, man.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

Getting the inside scoop here.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Okay. That's what I'm talking about. These boys are savvy.

[Ginger Duggar]

They know.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

They know what they're talking. And they know how people in the trade can be dishonest. And these guys operate with honesty. So if you need a good car, go to these boys. But isn't that crazy? Like the stripe line.

[Ginger Duggar]

Insane.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So you go to look at a car, and if you see. What would you call it? Decals or this. I don't know, the racer stripes, the tiny racer stripes, That's a sign. He's saying that's probably been an accident. The door's not aligned.

[Ginger Duggar]

But this is not the. It's not a sports car. This is just a normal family car. And it has that around there where it's been added. It's not something that was factory that was already there. I guess what he's saying, that's crazy.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

That's wild. So these guys are just full of wisdom. Did they ever send you to the auction by yourself?

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, no, I never would have done that.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Really?

[Ginger Duggar]

No. I don't know the mechanics of cars, so I never got to the point where I was buying cars by myself. So I would just. Primarily they invest in them. So they would be at an auction, or I'd be with them and I'd invest in a couple cars, and then we'd end up just. I wouldn't do any of that stuff. So by myself, no. But I would just put the money there and then let them go with it.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Did you ever actually sell the cars? Like, were you ever in the. Trying to convince someone to sell a car?

[Ginger Duggar]

No, no, no. I think that when it comes to that stuff, I don't know enough. Because you have to know the mechanics of the car. You have to be able to explain everything. There are questions that are coming at you, and you need to be able to carry them. And I can't carry a conversation with that. Like, I would be so lost. Even the other day, there was like a little rattle on one of our cars. And I was asking our friend, who knows a little more about cars, about it. Cause why didn't you ask me, babe? You and I are not car people like that. So I just asked him. Cause he had just had an issue with his car and so something similar. And I was like, what's this rattle? What should I do? And so it's helpful to have people who know cars yeah, it is. But okay, this is something. It's funny because the whole mindset of buying things when I'm gonna sell something or if I'm gonna buy something, I think that part of the skill that's been there is our family. Like, we went to auto auctions, we went to estate auctions, and we bought tons of stuff used. And so to this day, I had the hardest time buying anything. Brand new cars.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

The other just last night, Furniture. Yeah. You were looking at one of our bedrooms needs. One of our guest rooms needs two twin beds. So you're scouring. Was it Facebook Marketplace, which is great because you find restoration hardware and good stuff.

[Ginger Duggar]

I want bed frames. I don't buy mattresses on them. Let me be clear.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

But I just said, you know, we could just buy it new, like, from somewhere.

[Ginger Duggar]

I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. I said, why would I go spend, like, $600 on a solid wood bed frame when I can get. I could get, like, two really great solid wood bed frames somebody's already getting rid of for 100 bucks? Which is what I did in the girls room. People comment on those all the time. They're like, oh, my word, I love your girls bed frames. And then I take the time to tell them, I got those for 100 bucks for both. And I got the table. Yeah. The nightstand that goes with it. The matching nightstand. It's so cool. And they're solid wood.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Those are, like, vintage.

[Ginger Duggar]

They're solid wood. Vintage ones.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So actually, it's not always about buying it. Buy used and save the difference. Sometimes it's about finding unique pieces.

[Ginger Duggar]

I love unique pieces. And I am not a fan of engineered wood. I can melt stuff. Engineered wood, I like, so despise it. Yes. That's engineered wood.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Sorry I gave away.

[Ginger Duggar]

It's okay. It's okay. This is in the studio. It's fine. But my preference is I love solid wood, but I'm not here to pay for the price of it. So I will go on Facebook Marketplace. I will be patient.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

This is solid wood.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, yeah, yeah. That's pretty good. But I will make sure that those things are solid wood, especially with kids around, because the second that thing's dinged, you're gonna see the particle board. You're gonna see all of the insides of it, and it's gonna start to peel and fall apart. But with normal wood, when you ding it, you can just stain it and you can fill it in with wood glue, and it's fine. And it doesn't peel, so that's fine.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

That's a great point, Judge. All right, I wanna watch this clip because this becomes Ginger. Flipping cars becomes like a family. What would you call it? Like, they all start talking about Ginger. Oh, no, it's my favorite Ginger.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, no.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

Every family member in our family is.

[Ginger Duggar]

Unique in a way.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

We all have our strengths, our weaknesses, our things that just make us different.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

I definitely think Ginger has the most facial expressions of anybody I've ever met. Her big eyes and she's like. When she gets embarrassed, she like rolls her eyes and things like that.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Just this day, out of all the.

[Auctioneer or Car Auction Staff]

Ones in the family, Ginger is probably the one that's the most passionate about going down to the juvenile detention center and just investing in these young girls lives that are there. Ginger has a interest in photography and so now that she's doing things with cars, marketing is one of the keys for selling a vehicle.

[Ginger Duggar]

Man, I need a nice camera like that again.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

That was really sweet. They said a lot, the facial expressions. True.

[Ginger Duggar]

What are you talking about?

[Jeremy Vuolo]

But they, they. I mean, that really is true. Like you are so. That's what first drew me to you, was how invested you were in other people.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, that's so sweet.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

To this day, you're still the one who's always thinking on how to serve others in unique ways. How to. You're noticing people who might go unnoticed.

[Ginger Duggar]

That sweet babe.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You've always been that way.

[Ginger Duggar]

I don't know what to say now.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Well, what's your.

[Ginger Duggar]

That's a wrap.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You know, it is funny to see that out of all of those kids, every single one is unique.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Has different passions, different interests, personality.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, my goodness.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You look at your sisters and there's some common denominators. Like you guys. Yeah, you're all very, like, resourceful and you solve problems well. But there's unique personalities for each. And we're seeing that with our kids too, like. Oh, yeah, Felicity and Evie. I was thinking as we were taking a family walk this morning that, yeah, Felicity is so radically different from Evie, even in how they deal with difficulty.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

You know, it's just really, it's really.

[Ginger Duggar]

It'S fascinating to see those. Those personalities developing at such young age. And you can really tell a lot about the temperament and who they're going to be.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Have you sensed that with Finn yet? Like, what he's going to be?

[Ginger Duggar]

No, I think what I've realized is as newborns, it is very hard to tell. So it's like they're in this stage. I say newborn, like newborn. Could Be the stage from when they're first born, I feel like, until they're six months or a year, it's. You start to see more of that development. At least for our kids, it's been true. And for a lot of my siblings, even growing up, I had a lot of little babies around. And I think that once they're a certain age, then you can tell, but it's hard to say because Felicity, Yeah, like, for the first three months, she screamed, and I was like, is this who she's going to be? Is she going to be a miserable child? And it was because she was struggling with a lot of things. She had colic and whatever, but.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

And she was also just restless, which kind of is who she is.

[Family Member (possibly a Duggar sibling)]

It is.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

She doesn't want to sit around and cuddle. She wants to go.

[Ginger Duggar]

But at the same time, it was like, an issue, you know? So I think once they get to the point where they're able to talk and they're walking around, you can tell a lot more about them. And, yeah, maybe, like, Felicity was moving a lot, and she was. She was more smiley. So after that time, very personable. Like, she started talking so early.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah.

[Ginger Duggar]

So. So early. Very clearly. She was always in the middle of everybody. And Evie's more chill. She does have that more relaxed vibe. And she doesn't like to be the center of attention. She's more introverted. And so we have polar opposites there. And Finn, he's somewhere in the middle. Like, he just kind of, like, he loves people, so he's gonna engage and, like, connect with them and, like, laugh. But that's also baby. That's what babies do. So you don't really know yet who he's gonna be.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Yeah. Crazy. Well, I'm excited to find out. Well, that was really sweet. A little walk down memory lane. And it all got kicked off because I almost got arrested at the bank.

[Ginger Duggar]

Goodness, what a wild time. I think from here on out, every time I take money to the bank, I'm gonna be checking.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Oh, you gotta check. I'm gonna be the bills. Well, check when you receive it. Yeah, good night.

[Ginger Duggar]

But, like, that's insane.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

What do you say to somebody when they hand you 6,000 bucks and you go, hey, dude, 500 of these are fake? Like, what do you do in that moment?

[Ginger Duggar]

Well, you gotta be real careful in la. Like, that's the thing that would be scary is to, like, tell him. You know what I mean?

[Jeremy Vuolo]

I'm sure he didn't bring 500 real ones. So then he's Gonna act like he doesn't.

[Ginger Duggar]

Well, he'd be like, oh, my. I didn't know that was in there. Yeah, for sure. You just gotta be careful.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Crazy times. Well, I'm glad I'm here, too. We're recovering, Ginger. We're on the mend.

[Ginger Duggar]

I hope so.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

And maybe you should start flipping some cars again. You've got all the knowledge.

[Ginger Duggar]

Don't have time for that. I do not have time for that.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Well, maybe when we're retired, Paul can flip cars.

[Ginger Duggar]

Actually, I'm just gonna, like, start my own used car lot. No, I was gonna say, like, it's like, not a thrift store, but consignment shop or something.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Oh, that would be a paradise.

[Ginger Duggar]

It would have to be stuff kind of like. Carly Jean said she started that store in la. Yeah, she sourced her own pieces. Because I don't like all kinds of crap coming in that's just gross and dirty. But I would love.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Oh, I've got a story about that just to close out here, so real quick. Ginger loves thrifting. For you guys who don't know that, and I'm not a big fan for those of you who don't know that, but I'll go thrifting, and there can be really good finds out here. Well, I, the other day, cleaned out my closet because I'm like, I've got all this stuff I'm not wearing. Want to get rid of it? Gave some to some buddies. But then you said, hey, there's a thrift store in town that'll buy it. So I take three garbage bags full of my stuff, which, by the way, was really nice stuff.

[Ginger Duggar]

Very nice stuff.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Like brand new hoodies, T shirts, stuff I just won't wear, or I've just gotten given to me, and I don't have anything to do with it. And they took none of it. They took, like, one T shirt or something.

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, my goodness, that was so frustrating.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So I'm sitting here thinking, I don't think you guys want, like, good clothes. This is, like, new clothes. But as I'm sitting there delivering this stuff to this thrift store, I look on the shelf and I see a pair of shoes. And they caught my eye. And I said, hey, buddy, there's, like, a high school kid. I said, can I take a look at those shoes? Sure. He brings them over. They are off white Converse Chuck Taylors, which is a collaboration. Off white was. Virgil Abloh was a designer for Louis Vuitton who had designed shoes, and he did crossovers with Nike and Converse. And These shoes sell for thousands of dollars. This particular shoe, brand new, would sell for about $1,500. So this is like designer shoe wear.

[Ginger Duggar]

He knows shoes.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

So I look at that and go, how much is this? The guy tells me 40 bucks. I go, yeah, I'll take them. They're used, but used. These things sell for like $800.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, it's insane.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

And so they didn't buy any of my clothes, but I bought a pair of shoes. And we've got to throw those on ebay. Yeah, if anybody wants them for 700, 800, well, hey, we'll give them to you for 650. It just can't be movie money.

[Ginger Duggar]

It's crazy. He found one came out and he was like, look at these shoes. And I was like, what are those? What did you buy? And then he told me, and I was like, well, then, like, we're gonna make some money anyhow. Like, even though they wouldn't buy our stuff, you're gonna make money off of those shoes. Let's go.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Hey, if Thrifting gave you that kind of return every time I'd be into it. I just think that's a rare.

[Ginger Duggar]

Yeah, I think it is. It depends on where you shop. And so I like to pop in, and I will pop in at thrift stores. If I'm like out running an errand and I have like 10 minutes, I'll pop into a thrift store, do a quick loop, see what I can find. I found like, kids picnic tables that. It's like a hundred dollar picnic table that I really wanted for the kids. But I was like, it's kind of like an accessory. Like I don't have to have. So I'm not gonna go drop 100 bucks on that right now. And I went into the thrift store and I found one for $9, and it collapses. I've taken it to friends houses for parties. They're all asking me to bring it all the time. Our kids eat out of it every day. And I'm so glad I found it for nine bucks.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

Nine bucks.

[Ginger Duggar]

That's why I thrift. I just like pop in. I won't buy anything like, half the time. But then when I find a deal, I find a deal.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

All right.

[Ginger Duggar]

I could talk for hours on that.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

I like it. Maybe we'll do an episode on Thrifting. Did you ever do a Duggar show episode on Thrifting?

[Ginger Duggar]

Oh, so many.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

All right, well then maybe we'll do a react episode to that.

[Ginger Duggar]

Let's go.

[Jeremy Vuolo]

All right, guys. Well, thanks for hanging out. We appreciate it. We're getting better. We're on the mend. And we'll see you next week.
