Episode Description
When it comes to South Carolina's favorite pick-me, the slurs were just the tip of the fragile iceberg. This week, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace returns for her fourth run as HDIC (Head Dingus in Charge). Hear about her dust-up with TSA agents, and why she might want to read the Scarlet Letter before pinning it to her chest.
This week on Dingus of the Week, hosts LYZ LENZ and ZACHARY OREN SMITH argue over the second woman admitted into The Citadel.
Also this week, we dig into the Great Sandwich Trial: luncheon meat at point-blank range. Ricocheting lettuce, and stains that'll never go away.
DINGUS OF THE WEEK is a weekly comedy news podcast where writers Lyz and Zach light a fire under the American rogue's gallery to see who comes spilling out. If you're tired of doom-scrolling but know ignoring the problem doesn't get us anywhere, this is your new weekend listen. New episodes every Saturday.
