Listen to this episode
In this hilarious episode of The Dingo Weekly, the hosts dive deep into religious satire, pregnancy fantasies, and the brutal realities of parenthood. With dark humor at full throttle, Robbie, Tad, and Dingo tackle Scientology misconceptions, marital tensions, and some truly unhinged parenting takes that will make you question everything.

Scientology Deep Dive Gone Wrong

The crew attempts to discuss Scientology, mixing up L. Ron Hubbard with actor Ron Howard and confusing Lord Xenu with various other references. They joke about Thetans, audits, and why the religion calls itself 'Scientology' when it has nothing to do with science. The discussion devolves into tangents about Xena Warrior Princess and Lucy Lawless, showcasing their characteristically scattered but hilarious conversational style.

Robbie's Pregnancy Obsession & Marital Frustration

Robbie reveals that his wife is terrified of getting pregnant again after their recent birth and has made her boundaries very clear. Despite not wanting another child, Robbie is weirdly obsessed with the physical appearance of pregnant women. The hosts joke about loyalty punch cards for abortion clinics and discuss increasingly absurd workarounds involving adoption, beer-induced weight gain, and future scientific interventions—all delivered with the show's trademark dark humor.

Work-Life Balance & Paternity Leave Ending

As Robbie's four-week paternity leave comes to an end, he expresses genuine anxiety about returning to work while his wife manages three kids alone. The hosts commiserate about his impossible situation—trying to be productive while supporting his family remotely. They hilariously deflect blame toward each other and Tad, with Dingo suggesting that Robbie's marital troubles are 'probably more' his fault than he thinks, despite their disclaimers to the contrary.

Tad as the Convenient Scapegoat

Throughout the episode, Tad becomes the easy target for blame, with Robbie mentioning that his wife doesn't want Tad over anymore after some unspecified incident at a wedding. Tad employs a new strategy of simply ignoring comments directed at him, which the hosts find hilarious. This running bit showcases the friend group's dynamic where Tad is simultaneously ignored and blamed for everything.

I don't want to have another kid, but at the same time, I'm so down to just get her pregnant again. — Robbie
