This week we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the podcast! OK, it is merely the tenth week, but who knows if I’ll make another week before being ground to dust under the iron boot of the man. It is important to celebrate your achievements when you can as you never know what tomorrow will bring.
This week I finally passed Bill Mitchell on the Spreaker rankings. I’ve run his numbers and mine and I’m confident I have more listeners now. In the process, I discovered I most likely have more listeners than Bill Kristol, who unbeknownst to me has a podcast and YouTube channel. Take that you neocon bastards!
This week, Spreaker has the full show. YouTube has the full show and segments from the show. I am now on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones.

I think the virile normalcy of Trump’s sexual appetites is another reason the Cloud People hate him. There is incidental anti-Cloud counter signaling in banging gorgeous, feminine women half your age.
That said, hedonistic quirks aren’t necessarily indications of a lack of seriousness. To stick with emperors, Tiberius (“Tiberius’ minnows”) and Hadrian (his obsession with the Elysian mysteries and his drowned boytoy) are generally regarded as decent-to-good leaders.
My theory is that the prevailing culture is simply anti-sex. Male heterosexual confidence and desire is the fuel that keeps the sexual economy (pardon the mixed metaphor) going. The left has done everything it can to extinguish this: sexual harrassment deliberate disenfranchisement of men from the “modern economy” divorce and all the trimmings along with it (ie. family law) full throated celebration of homosexuality (particularly male homosexuality) demonisation of “bro culture” (ie. healthy male homosociality) general destruction of heterosexual male status ditto for female reproductive purpose revulsion of healthy families and I could go on and on it is, as… Read more »
Progressives will suffer the same fate as the Shakers without leaving all the nice baskets and furniture behind.
They couldn’t even leave Orwell’s Anti-Sex League as it was, no, they had to give us the twisted version.
Let me be first to nominate “Ride of the Valkyries” as permanent intro music.
Yeah, I think that is going to be the winner. I resisted the temptation at first, but it just makes too much sense.
Scares the hell out of the progs.
Because it smells like victory!
Heh. *First!*
Another possibility is Stravinsky’s ‘Rite of Spring’. Or Resphigi’s ‘The Fountains of Rome’. But yeah, Wagner is tip-top here too.
“Mars” from Holst’s “Planets”.
Yes to Holst. Yes squared to Wagner.
Hahahahaha.

Great common sense discussion! Really enjoyed it and the proportionality you use to make judgments about the things you discussed.
Well done, Mr. Zman! You have a very nice speaking voice, and the sound quality was excellent. Your subjects are of course well chosen, and you speak with knowledge. I should have taken notes; I still much prefer written copy, so that I can more easily refer back to the things that caught my attention. At least now I know that I should do that next time! It’s sad that our immigration & educational policies for the past decades have resulted in the dumbing-down of our population, and the coarsening of our public discourse certainly shows that happening. We have… Read more »
Z-man, a while back you said you “don’t do funny”. Respectfully disagree….
“something in a dress is approaching, and its dangerous” LMAO, full marks Z
Couldn’t agree with the Trump destroyer of worlds thing enough. My preferred term in political conversation is “trailblazer” but I think we are getting at a similar thing – beginning the clearing of the way so something new can be built
What kind of grotesque bugman would listen to a Bill Kristol podcast?
Great podcast, I’m still listening to it but I thought you might appreciate this. For years now I’ve referred to Pelosi as Dingbat, because she has the same empty idiot eyes as Edith Bunker.
Fascinating thought, after listening to the section on “Edison’s Test”. I love classic 40’s-50’s Looney Tunes cartoons, and have found them to be fascinating little time capsules of their era. And I’d bet that 90% of the oxygen suckers in a modern college classroom probably wouldn’t recognize the puns and references in, say, “A Hare Grows in Manhattan”, “Hare We Go” or “Rabbit of Seville”. (They would, of course, hyper-trigger into such a state of raging woke-itude that they’d have a collective aneurysm.) Side note about Paleofuture: yeah, it’s part of BuzzFeed. So, it’s written by sneering wannabe Daily Show… Read more »
Could you do a spoiler, hide/show thing for content next time?
I don’t want to find out who gets killed this episode right away!
The uniparty has withered on the vine. The thread-worn sheet of false narrative barely covers this ghost.
Having the segments available separately, as you have on Youtube, is very handy. High production values all around. Congratulations.
”but who knows if I’ll make another week before being ground to dust under the iron boot of the man.”
Could be worse:

Disagree. I’d rather take my chances with Irma than with Hillary.
That said, if you are in the danger cone shown on your map, I wish you well.
Irma will be gone in a week. Hillary never goes away.
Hmpfffff. I had no problem with most of the Edison test. And I am not patronizing anyone; most of you boys here are way smarter than me. Vox Day once called me a pig ignorant mid-wit and I didn’t get mad at all because it’s mostly true.
I regard pre-employment tests as mostly quackery.
I read that Kamala Harris owes her career to having been the mistress of some Californian politician 20+ years her senior when she firsts started out.
I am fascinated to learn Bill Kristol has a podcast and YouTube channel…I’m trying to imagine who’d be the audience for that kind of thing. A bunch of deracinated, Cato Institute loving DC BugMen, but that doesn’t seem like it would be a huge audience. Do many NeoCon Baby Boomers download podcasts???
Z, Another fun cast. I like the music and hope you can run it far enough in to get the gals’ entrance. And think of all the skid marks in DC if the whole thing were to be played loudly over public speakers on Pennsylvania Ave. As regards the brain dead fogies, one of my favorite proposals is to ban hair dye for all members of Congress. Let the public see what a decrepit bunch of arthritic nitwits we have in charge. Having taught at a number of universities as an adjunct or part timer over the past 40 years,… Read more »
Things to consider:
1. Demographic change means that traditional conservatism will have no broad support
2. The right wing movements appeal to no one under 40 (seriously, why are you guys so old?) and no women
Taking the above into account, how do you expect anybody to take you sincerely?
There are over 1.5 million words posted here by me addressing these points in one fashion of another. Taking that into account, how do you expect anyone to take you sincerely?
I can hardly wait for Generation Zyklon to scare the sh*t out of the old fogies.
Heh. We thought rap and LGBTQX was bad…
When they allow Social Security and Medicare to run dry, take away all the free pills and meds, make it impossible for the old people to find a doctor, take away the driver’s licenses of incapable old folks, and make it impossible for people to go outside without being armed and trained in how to use them, it’s going to be an interesting state of affairs.
That border will be enforced. Even Cankles Clinton is saying we need to deport illegals now. After that is taken care of, the social programs will either be destroyed or administered with common sense. Vibrants will either self-deport or adopt conservative values to survive. And – kids are proggies and liberals until they grow up and have to get jobs to support themselves and their families. Then most go hard right. Those gay social justice warriors that won’t grow up look mighty different through the eyes of an adult. As do those lonely, angry feminists that are so ugly inside… Read more »
The right wing movements appeal to no one under 40
It annoys me that there have not yet been cross-tabs in any of the scant public polling about the alt right that have included age ranges. I’m confident when one rolls out–and it will–we’ll find that the Alt Right’s strongest base of support will be among those under 40.
Looking at Trump rallies there are plenty of women and folk under 40. It certainly does not have the geriatric tinge to it like the Tea Party movement when you had people showing up in Rascals. I do see more women getting involved because they are taking it in the teeth from the Left/Cloud People. They are forced to shared their bathrooms with male perverts and the same for their daughters. And they don’t like it one bit. See unlike the childless harpies on the Left – they don’t Eventually they’re gonna realize the Cloud people will throw them and… Read more »
