WEBVTT - Revisionist History Season 7: The Experiment Experience

0:00:15.356 --> 0:00:22.676
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. Lately, I've been calling up all my scientists friends

0:00:23.276 --> 0:00:24.436
<v Speaker 1>and granting their wishes.

0:00:25.436 --> 0:00:27.996
<v Speaker 2>And I know that down sounds crazy, but I'm going

0:00:28.076 --> 0:00:29.196
<v Speaker 2>pie in the sky like you.

0:00:29.076 --> 0:00:32.116
<v Speaker 1>Said, Yes, no, you get that request granted. I'm the

0:00:32.116 --> 0:00:36.036
<v Speaker 1>Czar of the Magic wand I have granted that request.

0:00:36.516 --> 0:00:39.356
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, baby, I'm the Czar of the Magic wand

0:00:41.476 --> 0:00:44.676
<v Speaker 1>my name is Malcolm Gladwell. And in season seven of

0:00:44.716 --> 0:00:48.356
<v Speaker 1>my podcast Revisionist History, we throw off the shackles of

0:00:48.436 --> 0:00:51.916
<v Speaker 1>convention and go where no podcast is dared to go before.

0:00:52.796 --> 0:01:02.036
<v Speaker 1>We don't see his boyfriend? No, no, what other podcasts

0:01:02.076 --> 0:01:05.276
<v Speaker 1>put some magnifying glass to the early nineteen nineties made

0:01:05.276 --> 0:01:10.836
<v Speaker 1>for TV movie Doing Time on Maple Drive. He's doing time?

0:01:11.396 --> 0:01:13.996
<v Speaker 1>Is it comic in the Airstilian sense? Do they resolve?

0:01:14.436 --> 0:01:14.756
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:01:14.956 --> 0:01:16.836
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it is comic in the Airstilian sense.

0:01:17.076 --> 0:01:18.116
<v Speaker 2>All television movies are.

0:01:21.956 --> 0:01:27.596
<v Speaker 1>Season seven, Never Sleeps, We take you Everywhere. A factory

0:01:27.676 --> 0:01:30.236
<v Speaker 1>way up near the Canadian border, the set of the

0:01:30.276 --> 0:01:34.236
<v Speaker 1>original A Star Is Born movie, A forgotten laboratory under

0:01:34.276 --> 0:01:37.476
<v Speaker 1>the seats in the old University of Minnesota football stadium.

0:01:37.796 --> 0:01:39.716
<v Speaker 1>A swanky party in Beverly Hills.

0:01:40.396 --> 0:01:44.396
<v Speaker 2>My husband tapped me on the shoulder because I was

0:01:44.396 --> 0:01:48.276
<v Speaker 2>so busy eating these minikiche. And he said, put your

0:01:48.276 --> 0:01:51.076
<v Speaker 2>food down, ady, put your free patty.

0:01:52.476 --> 0:01:55.636
<v Speaker 1>Oh, and we go to Ohio. We spend lots of

0:01:55.676 --> 0:01:56.436
<v Speaker 1>time in Ohio.

0:02:03.156 --> 0:02:05.996
<v Speaker 2>I have my own hypothesis, but I can't. Oh, come on,

0:02:07.076 --> 0:02:07.916
<v Speaker 2>what if I'm wrong?

0:02:08.556 --> 0:02:11.916
<v Speaker 1>That's this is all about being wrong. Oh, we don't

0:02:11.916 --> 0:02:15.556
<v Speaker 1>worry about being wrong. Not this season, because every episode

0:02:15.756 --> 0:02:20.876
<v Speaker 1>is about an experiment, thought, experiments, what if experiments, natural experiments,

0:02:21.276 --> 0:02:30.196
<v Speaker 1>a little something I call magic wand experiments. Why a

0:02:30.276 --> 0:02:34.276
<v Speaker 1>season devoted to experiments? Because if we're honest about ourselves,

0:02:34.596 --> 0:02:37.076
<v Speaker 1>the list of things we don't know is longer than

0:02:37.076 --> 0:02:39.636
<v Speaker 1>the list of things we do, And the only way

0:02:39.636 --> 0:02:42.676
<v Speaker 1>to fix that problem is to put our unknowns to

0:02:42.796 --> 0:02:47.716
<v Speaker 1>the test. Come join the Revisionist History Experiment starting June thirtieth,

0:02:48.356 --> 0:02:51.636
<v Speaker 1>or if you can't wait a moment longer June twenty third.

<v Speaker 1>Somebody step up, come and feed me. I close. I

0:03:05.596 --> 0:03:07.796
<v Speaker 1>have no idea whether I'm having bowl in the left

0:03:07.836 --> 0:03:10.236
<v Speaker 1>or bowl in the right. Oh, Okay, why don't I

<v Speaker 1>just hear it. Yeah, well, you're not going to feed me, yeah,
