Listen to this episode
Brooklyn stops by The Dingo Weekly and immediately takes command of the conversation in this chaotic, hilarious episode. From flesh-eating flies invading the US to which political figures deserve roasting, nothing is off-limits as the hosts dive into absurdist commentary with their characteristic dark humor.

Flesh-Eating Flies Invading America

The hosts discuss the terrifying arrival of flesh-eating flies from South America and the government's scientific methods to control them—including the hilariously misremembered details about sterile male fly vasectomies. They explore how defunding of the program and climate change have allowed these deadly insects to spread northward, with 8 human victims already reported in Mexico. The comedy builds on whether these flies are racist, why they prefer Mexican flesh, and who should be blamed for the lack of fly vasectomy doctors.

Political Enemies and Assassination Fantasies

When Dingo asks Brooklyn about her enemies, she pivots to discussing political adversaries rather than personal ones, leading to accusations that she's a Republican. Brooklyn's quick denial and the hosts' inability to understand her political alignment creates a comedic back-and-forth about whether you need enemies to sound cool and how to potentially weaponize the flesh-eating flies for political purposes.

Color Wars, Race War Jokes, and School Mishaps

Dingo recounts his mortifying experience at his son's summer camp Color Wars event, where he loudly asked a teacher if the kids were old enough for a 'race war.' He describes the awkward silence and his panic-induced blame-shifting to a random stranger in the parking lot. The conversation expands into how schools use controversial experiments to teach about discrimination and how natural childhood bullying mirrors darker social concepts.

Chuck E. Cheese's Descent Into Chaos

The hosts discuss their bewilderment at how Chuck E. Cheese's still exists as a business in the age of declining foot traffic. Dingo describes a surreal visit to a location where the place was empty except for an eerie beer tap installation, questioning whether the restaurant has become a front for something else entirely. Brooklyn and the hosts joke that the lack of children is precisely why children won't go there anymore.

Robbie's Tech Disaster and Parenting Updates

Throughout the episode, Robbie struggles with audio setup issues that cause him to disconnect mid-conversation, leading to frustrated muttering about echo cancellation. He also casually mentions acquiring three children (like Pokémon cards) and references getting one from Chuck E. Cheese, blending his personal chaos with the show's absurdist humor.

They're going to eat our cows? ... Actually, now they eat humans. ... So are these like racist flies or just because that [human flesh] is spicier has more flavor? I get that. No, they just like Mexican food. Honestly, I probably would do the same thing.
