00:00:23,276 --> 00:00:24,436
Speaker 1: and granting their wishes.

3
00:00:25,436 --> 00:00:27,996
Speaker 2: And I know that down sounds crazy, but I'm going

4
00:00:28,076 --> 00:00:29,196
Speaker 2: pie in the sky like you.

5
00:00:29,076 --> 00:00:32,116
Speaker 1: Said, Yes, no, you get that request granted. I'm the

6
00:00:32,116 --> 00:00:36,036
Speaker 1: Czar of the Magic wand I have granted that request.

7
00:00:36,516 --> 00:00:39,356
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, baby, I'm the Czar of the Magic wand

8
00:00:41,476 --> 00:00:44,676
Speaker 1: my name is Malcolm Gladwell. And in season seven of

9
00:00:44,716 --> 00:00:48,356
Speaker 1: my podcast Revisionist History, we throw off the shackles of

10
00:00:48,436 --> 00:00:51,916
Speaker 1: convention and go where no podcast is dared to go before.

11
00:00:52,796 --> 00:01:02,036
Speaker 1: We don't see his boyfriend? No, no, what other podcasts

12
00:01:02,076 --> 00:01:05,276
Speaker 1: put some magnifying glass to the early nineteen nineties made

13
00:01:05,276 --> 00:01:10,836
Speaker 1: for TV movie Doing Time on Maple Drive. He's doing time?

14
00:01:11,396 --> 00:01:13,996
Speaker 1: Is it comic in the Airstilian sense? Do they resolve?

15
00:01:14,436 --> 00:01:14,756
Speaker 2: Yes?

16
00:01:14,956 --> 00:01:16,836
Speaker 1: Yes, it is comic in the Airstilian sense.

17
00:01:17,076 --> 00:01:18,116
Speaker 2: All television movies are.

18
00:01:21,956 --> 00:01:27,596
Speaker 1: Season seven, Never Sleeps, We take you Everywhere. A factory

19
00:01:27,676 --> 00:01:30,236
Speaker 1: way up near the Canadian border, the set of the

20
00:01:30,276 --> 00:01:34,236
Speaker 1: original A Star Is Born movie, A forgotten laboratory under

21
00:01:34,276 --> 00:01:37,476
Speaker 1: the seats in the old University of Minnesota football stadium.

22
00:01:37,796 --> 00:01:39,716
Speaker 1: A swanky party in Beverly Hills.

23
00:01:40,396 --> 00:01:44,396
Speaker 2: My husband tapped me on the shoulder because I was

24
00:01:44,396 --> 00:01:48,276
Speaker 2: so busy eating these minikiche. And he said, put your

25
00:01:48,276 --> 00:01:51,076
Speaker 2: food down, ady, put your free patty.

26
00:01:52,476 --> 00:01:55,636
Speaker 1: Oh, and we go to Ohio. We spend lots of

27
00:01:55,676 --> 00:01:56,436
Speaker 1: time in Ohio.

28
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:05,996
Speaker 2: I have my own hypothesis, but I can't. Oh, come on,

29
00:02:07,076 --> 00:02:07,916
Speaker 2: what if I'm wrong?

30
00:02:08,556 --> 00:02:11,916
Speaker 1: That's this is all about being wrong. Oh, we don't

31
00:02:11,916 --> 00:02:15,556
Speaker 1: worry about being wrong. Not this season, because every episode

32
00:02:15,756 --> 00:02:20,876
Speaker 1: is about an experiment, thought, experiments, what if experiments, natural experiments,

33
00:02:21,276 --> 00:02:30,196
Speaker 1: a little something I call magic wand experiments. Why a

34
00:02:30,276 --> 00:02:34,276
Speaker 1: season devoted to experiments? Because if we're honest about ourselves,

35
00:02:34,596 --> 00:02:37,076
Speaker 1: the list of things we don't know is longer than

36
00:02:37,076 --> 00:02:39,636
Speaker 1: the list of things we do, And the only way

37
00:02:39,636 --> 00:02:42,676
Speaker 1: to fix that problem is to put our unknowns to

38
00:02:42,796 --> 00:02:47,716
Speaker 1: the test. Come join the Revisionist History Experiment starting June thirtieth,

43
00:03:05,596 --> 00:03:07,796
Speaker 1: have no idea whether I'm having bowl in the left
