Speaker 1: Pushkin. Lately, I've been calling up all my scientists friends
Speaker 1: and granting their wishes.
Speaker 2: And I know that down sounds crazy, but I'm going
Speaker 2: pie in the sky like you.
Speaker 1: Said, Yes, no, you get that request granted. I'm the
Speaker 1: Czar of the Magic wand I have granted that request.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, baby, I'm the Czar of the Magic wand
Speaker 1: my name is Malcolm Gladwell. And in season seven of
Speaker 1: my podcast Revisionist History, we throw off the shackles of
Speaker 1: convention and go where no podcast is dared to go before.
Speaker 1: We don't see his boyfriend? No, no, what other podcasts
Speaker 1: put some magnifying glass to the early nineteen nineties made
Speaker 1: for TV movie Doing Time on Maple Drive. He's doing time?
Speaker 1: Is it comic in the Airstilian sense? Do they resolve?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, it is comic in the Airstilian sense.
Speaker 2: All television movies are.
Speaker 1: Season seven, Never Sleeps, We take you Everywhere. A factory
Speaker 1: way up near the Canadian border, the set of the
Speaker 1: original A Star Is Born movie, A forgotten laboratory under
Speaker 1: the seats in the old University of Minnesota football stadium.
Speaker 1: A swanky party in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 2: My husband tapped me on the shoulder because I was
Speaker 2: so busy eating these minikiche. And he said, put your
Speaker 2: food down, ady, put your free patty.
Speaker 1: Oh, and we go to Ohio. We spend lots of
Speaker 1: time in Ohio.
Speaker 2: I have my own hypothesis, but I can't. Oh, come on,
Speaker 2: what if I'm wrong?
Speaker 1: That's this is all about being wrong. Oh, we don't
Speaker 1: worry about being wrong. Not this season, because every episode
Speaker 1: is about an experiment, thought, experiments, what if experiments, natural experiments,
Speaker 1: a little something I call magic wand experiments. Why a
Speaker 1: season devoted to experiments? Because if we're honest about ourselves,
Speaker 1: the list of things we don't know is longer than
Speaker 1: the list of things we do, And the only way
Speaker 1: to fix that problem is to put our unknowns to
Speaker 1: the test. Come join the Revisionist History Experiment starting June thirtieth,
Speaker 1: or if you can't wait a moment longer June twenty third.

Speaker 1: Somebody step up, come and feed me. I close. I
Speaker 1: have no idea whether I'm having bowl in the left
Speaker 1: or bowl in the right. Oh, Okay, why don't I
