WEBVTT - Introducing Revisionist History

0:00:15.356 --> 0:00:15.796
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin.

0:00:21.996 --> 0:00:27.116
<v Speaker 2>I think we're bad historians. Something happens, we see it,

0:00:27.476 --> 0:00:32.156
<v Speaker 2>watch it, remember it, file it away. But then if

0:00:32.196 --> 0:00:36.436
<v Speaker 2>you look back at what you filed away closely, you

0:00:36.516 --> 0:00:37.636
<v Speaker 2>discover it's all wrong.

0:00:46.396 --> 0:00:49.556
<v Speaker 3>I was offended when the leader of the Opposition went

0:00:49.636 --> 0:00:52.436
<v Speaker 3>outside in the front of Parliament and stood next to

0:00:52.476 --> 0:00:57.276
<v Speaker 3>a sign that said ditch the witch, misogyny, sexism every

0:00:57.396 --> 0:00:59.356
<v Speaker 3>day from this labor of the Opposition.

0:00:59.876 --> 0:01:02.516
<v Speaker 1>You came to see me and as if I might

0:01:02.596 --> 0:01:06.276
<v Speaker 1>make a donation to the scholarship fund of fifteen hundred

0:01:06.316 --> 0:01:09.396
<v Speaker 1>dollars find I said, philm what would you do hundred

0:01:09.396 --> 0:01:09.956
<v Speaker 1>and man dollars.

0:01:12.476 --> 0:01:16.156
<v Speaker 2>I'm Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point, blink Outliers,

0:01:16.276 --> 0:01:20.116
<v Speaker 2>David and Goliath, and now host of Revisionist History from

0:01:20.156 --> 0:01:24.316
<v Speaker 2>Panoicle Media. This show is my attempt to correct the record.

0:01:24.756 --> 0:01:27.836
<v Speaker 1>I shot the free throw guy in the stands yells.

0:01:27.556 --> 0:01:30.876
<v Speaker 3>Out, hey, Marry a big siss age shooting like that.

0:01:32.276 --> 0:01:34.996
<v Speaker 2>Over the course of ten episodes, I'll take you back

0:01:35.036 --> 0:01:38.476
<v Speaker 2>to something that happened one hundred years ago, last year,

0:01:38.556 --> 0:01:41.876
<v Speaker 2>an event, a person, an idea, something we all missed,

0:01:42.476 --> 0:01:46.116
<v Speaker 2>something we all remembered but misunderstood and.

0:01:46.116 --> 0:01:49.316
<v Speaker 1>The guy next to him, and I heard it very clearly, said,

0:01:49.556 --> 0:01:51.636
<v Speaker 1>what are you making fun of him for? He doesn't miss.

0:01:53.156 --> 0:01:56.116
<v Speaker 2>I'll revisit a mysterious car crash outside of San Diego.

0:01:56.356 --> 0:01:58.276
<v Speaker 2>We are passing up where are were passing.

0:01:58.316 --> 0:02:03.236
<v Speaker 1>We're going to hundred twenty mission Gorge. We're in trouble.

0:02:03.396 --> 0:02:06.276
<v Speaker 1>We can't we bike okay, Gorge.

0:02:06.356 --> 0:02:08.516
<v Speaker 3>Its reely a half mile okay, and.

0:02:08.476 --> 0:02:10.836
<v Speaker 1>You don't have the ability to turn the vehicle off

0:02:10.916 --> 0:02:11.356
<v Speaker 1>or anything.

0:02:11.396 --> 0:02:12.636
<v Speaker 3>A personally interception.

0:02:15.516 --> 0:02:19.116
<v Speaker 2>I'll explore why Wilt Chamberlain made a choice he knew

0:02:19.236 --> 0:02:21.596
<v Speaker 2>would diminish his greatness as a basketball player.

0:02:21.796 --> 0:02:24.116
<v Speaker 3>Roger got the ball, He's gone up.

0:02:28.436 --> 0:02:31.916
<v Speaker 2>I'll examine a song, a song that nobody realized was brilliant,

0:02:32.196 --> 0:02:34.516
<v Speaker 2>not even the guy who wrote it and sang it

0:02:34.996 --> 0:02:36.916
<v Speaker 2>until much much later.

0:02:36.756 --> 0:02:39.236
<v Speaker 1>When we did the playback, punched the clock. We got

0:02:39.316 --> 0:02:43.916
<v Speaker 1>quite drunk and played it back really loud, and he

0:02:43.996 --> 0:02:46.116
<v Speaker 1>kind of freaked out, said, it's all rubbish.

0:02:46.556 --> 0:02:48.796
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's terrible, it's terrible.

0:02:49.556 --> 0:02:52.356
<v Speaker 2>We're fine with the future. The future is in our

0:02:52.396 --> 0:02:55.716
<v Speaker 2>imagination and we can be as upbeat or excited or

0:02:55.756 --> 0:02:59.276
<v Speaker 2>delusional as we want about it. But the past is

0:02:59.316 --> 0:03:02.316
<v Speaker 2>where the truth lies, and so I love with more

0:03:02.396 --> 0:03:10.036
<v Speaker 2>questions than answers. Revisionist history, sometimes the past deserves the

0:03:10.116 --> 0:03:30.156
<v Speaker 2>second chance. Listen and subscribe at revisionististory dot com
