After a week of outrages, more than a week, I thought it would be good to do something a little lighter this week. I have been getting requests for Xirl Science, so this week we have that and some other weird stuff I found. Sometimes, you need to take a break from the serious stuff. Otherwise, you become one of those rage heads, who are constantly lecturing people all the time about how the world is going to hell. This week is a show featuring weirdos, goofballs and people I like to mock.

The thing that often gets lost on this side of the great divide is that we have one thing working in our favor. We are right. More important, the people on the other side are not just mistaken. Most of them are crazy. That coalition of fringes, as Sailer likes to put it, is a freak show where morality is inverted. They have power, but reality is undefeated. Their battle against reality can only end one way. It is okay for our side to take some pleasure in watching that freak show.

This week I have the usual variety of items in the now standard format. Spreaker has the full show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones. The anarchists can catch me on iHeart Radio. YouTube also has the full podcast. Of course, there is a download link below. I have been de-platformed by Spotify, because they feared I was poisoning the minds of their Millennial customers.

Today’s early AM arrest of Roger Stone at the hands of heavily-armed Feds and a CNN film crew means the Deep State is totally and completely in charge. And they mean serious, deadly business. God help us.

It’s a message that they’re going to do whatever they want to whoever they want. You’re not longer living in America as it was intended and haven’t been for a long while now. As time continues we will watch a completely tyrannical cabal of nwo communists, globalists, and useful idiots ate here to forcefully takeover.
Glen Filthie #88190 January 25, 2019 8:49 am 10
The world IS going to hell, Z. You’ve laid out your position on religion and I get it and respect it. Fact is I used to be an atheist myself and I would laugh like hell at those bible thumping holy rollers that came round trying to recruit for their churches. I ain’t laughing anymore.

The assholes at Reason really have ruined the “Libertarian” brand. In their ever rarer honest moments they admit that open borders without a full dismantling of the welfare state is a horrible idea. Over the past few years they have really gone off the leftist deep-end. They chased off most of their readers and contributors. They are now fully funded by Koch’s and other Chamber of Commerce types. The result is these kinds of stupid articles jam-packed full of blatant lies.
thezman #88194 January 25, 2019 9:35 am 8
Reason is pretty much just the pet project of Koch Industries now. One of the things the owner of the Weekly Standard came to realize is the magazine had no readers and no influence. What was the point of maintaining it? The staff could never come up with an answer, so it was shut down. Right now, National Review is struggling to keep the doors open, because donors are realizing no one pays attention to NRO. They either close or see a change in management this year. I would assume the Kochs are wondering about their commitment to Reason magazine too.
Chet Rollins #88211 January 25, 2019 11:42 am 2
People are paying attention to NRO for all the wrong reasons, and are now despised by even the moderates to the point that whatever dreck their writers put out actively harm their cause.
Dutch #88205 January 25, 2019 11:01 am 7
The Left is crazy and can’t square their world view with reality. That is the light at the end of the tunnel in which we live. One of our important tasks is to make sure they don’t burn everything down along the way.
Wolf Barney #88193 January 25, 2019 9:29 am 7
I’m looking forward to the wackiness on today’s Z cast. And just a reminder to everyone of us on the side of truth to keep mocking the Coalition of the Fringes. Ridicule is a great weapon for us.
Led Zeppo #88203 January 25, 2019 10:55 am 6
OT but of rather serious concern…Just read that Nigeria (population 190 million I believe) has officially outlawed homosexuality and all homosexual acts, including mere public expressions of affection between gay people, and claims it will vigorously prosecute.What this means in practical effect is that 190 million Nigerians can now claim to be persecuted homosexuals, and seek asylum in US and Europe. (Angola, OTOH, has just formally legalized homosexuality, but the “persecuted” “homosexuals” of Nigeria won’t flee to there.)Dollars to donuts the Nigerian govt did this not out of moral outrage, but to set up yet another refugee/remittances racket to bleed the West dry.

I thought the gay Indian PM of Ireland already invited all there?
Dutch #88215 January 25, 2019 12:27 pm 3
At least they won’t be attacking the white women (much) upon arrival. Oh wait, you are saying it’s an immigration scam? They’ll find their inner heterosexuality when they get off the boat? I can hardly keep up any more.
Larkin Lover #88222 January 25, 2019 2:26 pm 5
I don’t think there should be any goofy majors. They can exist, but should have to be paired with a conventional major in order to achieve a diploma. The majors are:Physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering(including all subtypes), classics, philosophy, economics, history. English is allowable, but must be paired with mastery of a foreign language. (This is what TS Eliot advocated.)
bilejones #88191 January 25, 2019 8:55 am 5
I often wonder if the current antics of the left are not secretly directed by someone of the Alt-Right. It is hard to believe that they actually think they are advancing their cause: Unless that cause is really to unify those possessed of both sanity and pallor.
wjkathman #88199 January 25, 2019 10:26 am 4
It’s funny that people get angry with Zman for exposing some of the junk science that their children’s tuition is helping to fund. Don’t shoot the messenger! It’s good to know the truth, no matter how infuriating it may be.
thezman #88206 January 25, 2019 11:03 am 7
In fairness, I think a lot of male academics just tune out the noise from the gender-grievance crowd. Otherwise, everyday there would be afalling downon campus. Imagine spending years in a series field, doing real academic work knowing there’s a gaggle of goofballs making the same money, writing about their hoo-ha while playing video games.
Guest #88214 January 25, 2019 12:27 pm 4
The goofballs don’t make the same money. The dirty little secret of these grievance studies departments is that they can be huge profit centers for universities. They usually have a skeletal staff of full, tenured professors who make good money and get the headlines and a slew of Associate Professors who are paid the pittance they deserve. They require no lab space, no specialized equipment, or other expensive capital infrastructure.Idiotic liberal parents pay $50k-$70k/year for this crap. If your grievance study department attracts 100 students/annum at $60k each that’s a revenue stream of $6MM/annum/class, or $24MM/annum for a 4-year program. That’s a pretty tidy profit center.There’s a reason these departments proliferated explosively in the last 20 years–a well run depatment is extremely profitable.
thezman #88216 January 25, 2019 1:13 pm 5
The other side of it is the womyn’s studies department is not getting a federal grant to build a robotics lab. They are not getting corporate money for a venture. That grant for the robotic lab to work on a DoD project is manna from heaven. Once the project ends, the university still has the lab. That allows them to bid on new grants from a position of having lower capital costs.I think the reason for the proliferation of fake majors in general is the school debt machine artificially inflating demand. The reason West Virginia offers a physical education major is many of their undergrads are too stupid to do anything else by play dodge ball.
King Tut #88225 January 25, 2019 5:41 pm 4
I think there is a strong case that academic inflation is what is driving all this credentialism as well as the proliferation of barking crazy degrees. The need to keep the money rolling in is why they have to keep coming up with new, batshit SVW training programmes such as Intersectional Feminist Dance Theory. It’s a bubble.
Dutch #88230 January 25, 2019 8:19 pm 2
There are also many people that wouldn’t be able to buckle down and earn a “real” degree (e.g. In the STEM fields). These sorts of frivolous degrees are made for them.
Sean Detente #88236 January 26, 2019 1:09 am 0
TBF, most people aren’t cut out to work in STEM. I started on in my undergrad in the 70s doing programming and couldn’t stand it. Couldn’t stomach electrical engineering either. My brother, who is a veritable genius with mathematics, could.

Man, you talk about a movie that’s been memoryhole’d. I literally hadn’t thought about that Douglas film in years. There was a stark difference between the Foster character and these academics who tune out the grievance crowd – for Foster the Cold War was over and reality smacked him in the ass. These IRL academics can still keep their head in the sand.

h/t Scott Greer #NotYourFreikorps https://thebulwark.com/darwin-is-coming-for-the-gop/amp/?__twitter_impression=true It should not be our job to be electoral cannon fodder so Pierre Omidyar and his fellow oligarchs are not hit by heavy taxation. The future is for conservatives to identify as an ethnocultural group, and seek self-determination either through increased autonomy from Washington or a “Redstan”. And if we must “surrender” then get a better deal than FW DeKlerk.
thezman #88202 January 25, 2019 10:44 am 5
Yet, adjusted for race, we get a different picture. If it comes from the neocons, just assume it is a lie.
DeBeers Diamonds #88217 January 25, 2019 1:15 pm 3
The underlying Pew study is blackpilling. 51% of Gen Z Republicans favor “more diversity”, and one-third of Gen Z at-large are pronoun-policing. A lesson I draw out of this is the need for the right-wing to develop institutions and culture to be anti-assimilation. A lot of our people “want to be left alone”, but end up just conforming to keep social peace. For starters, if Kamala is installed in 2020, we need to be burning the flag.
Vegetius #88219 January 25, 2019 1:35 pm 3
I am not now nor have I ever been a cowboy (or a libertarian), but I know some cowboy libertarians, and they are not open borders fanatics. Far from it. They’re out riding fences, working with barbed wire, herding mammals and such. Would make great camp guards…
Vegetius #88197 January 25, 2019 10:25 am 3
When you feel obligated to do weird and heavy: homosexuality. Big Gay is not going to go away on its own.
Ripple #88226 January 25, 2019 5:42 pm 2
Ms. Harris’s first name is pronounced KAH-muh-luh. It’s a common Indian name meaning “lotus flower.”
Nathan #88227 January 25, 2019 6:33 pm 2
Don’t get me started on lotus flowers.
Sean Detente #88235 January 26, 2019 1:00 am 0
It’s an ugly-ass name befitting an ugly-ass brown person. Only in multicultural shithole does one have to make a correction like this. In a homogeneous society where Harris would be an exception I would be polite enough to learn the correct pronunciation to be polite.

Regarding the audio quality, it’s much better than a year ago. I would like to hear more limiting/compression to make it easier to understand when there is road noise. That will raise the noise floor, which you can gate if you feel like it. If you have any production software at all you have a compressor/limiter, I’m sure.I love this one:https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/product/the-wall/And his Gatey-Watey is on sale today! (He has a penchant for silly names, but his plugs are unreal!)
Sleepy #88200 January 25, 2019 10:31 am 2
Doesn’t “invisiblizing the unmentionables” refer to “a Leftist taking zer underpants off zer head and putting them where the were designed to be worn”?
Malicious Moniker #88223 January 25, 2019 5:27 pm 1
Maybe it’s obvious, but I’m still wrapping my head around the Lefty “morality” idea of Forcing Normie to Agree being Lefty’s entire “morality”. And I wonder if there is a relationship between the weirdos getting weirder and the Lefty “morality”? Nihilism leading to madness.
Duke Norfolk #88884 January 30, 2019 6:48 am 0
Zman, I’d love to know where the outro music can be found. I just love this version. That voice is magical. I’ve tried to search your site with no luck. Thanks.
Mac #88456 January 27, 2019 7:34 pm 0
Thanks for volume boost, Z. And great episode. Horrifying and hysterically funny at the same time. Inspiring the normals to mock the weirdos.
Moran ya Simba #88417 January 27, 2019 2:51 am 0
Normally this weirdo stuff amuses me. That starting tirade about ‘black women still live in slavery’, unusually for this stuff, that actually pissed me off. Maybe I was just not in the mood for this BS?
Moran ya Simba #88359 January 26, 2019 4:44 pm 0
Having heard just the beginning of this episode I will say this: You may not want to get into weird cultures. But weird cultures want to get into you.
joey junger #88213 January 25, 2019 12:22 pm 0
Some dindu explained to me awhile ago what it means to “Super Man,” a hoe (female). When she’s in bed with you, asleep, you ejaculate onto her back, then throw your blanket over her shoulders so that the blanket becomes “glued” to her body. When she gets up and walks around the blanket sweeps around behind her, like a super hero’s cape. Voila, that hoe has been superman’d. Not quite Nietzsche.

Easily in the top 50 worst comments in the history of The Z Blog.
Dutch #88231 January 25, 2019 8:21 pm 2
I did learn something new… As I can be one of those socially awkward types at times, this will be a great icebreaker…
joey junger #88421 January 27, 2019 8:20 am 0
Your frail sensibilities will survive, sweetheart.

Z: “I have been getting requests for Xirl Science.” I don’t believe you.
