Speaker 1: Pushkin. I think we're bad historians. Something happens, we see it,
Speaker 1: watch it, remember it, file it away. But then if
Speaker 1: you look back at what you filed away closely, you
Speaker 1: discover it's all wrong. I was offended when the Leader
Speaker 1: of the Opposition went outside in the front of Parliament
Speaker 1: and stood next to a sign that said teach the
Speaker 1: weach misogyny six season every day from this labor of
Speaker 1: the Opposition. He came to see me and as if
Speaker 1: I might make a donation to the Scarship Fund of
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred hours. I said, philm what would you do
Speaker 1: as I'm Malcolm Gladwell, author The Tipping Point, Blink Outliers,
Speaker 1: David and Goliath, a now host of revisionist history from
Speaker 1: Panoply Media. This show is my attempt to correct the record.
Speaker 1: I shot the freefro guy who stands yells out, hey,
Speaker 1: marry a big sissy, shooting like that. Over the course
Speaker 1: of ten episodes, I'll take you back to something that
Speaker 1: happened one hundred years ago, last year, an event, a person,
Speaker 1: an idea, something we all missed, something we all remembered
Speaker 1: but misunderstood. And the guy next to him and I
Speaker 1: heard it very clearly said, what are you making fun
Speaker 1: of him for? He doesn't miss. I'll revisit a mysterious
Speaker 1: car crash outside of San Diego. We are passing up
Speaker 1: Where are we passing Mission Gorge. We're in trouble. You
Speaker 1: can't wet us no boke okay, okay, and you don't
Speaker 1: have the ability to turn the vehicle off or anything
Speaker 1: approaching the intersection. I'll explore why Wilt Chamberlain made a
Speaker 1: choice he knew would diminish his greatness as a basketball player. Rogers,
Speaker 1: we've got them all, he's gone up. He shoots it.
Speaker 1: I'll examine a song, a song that nobody realized was brilliant,
Speaker 1: not even the guy who wrote it and sang it
Speaker 1: until much much later when we did the playback and
Speaker 1: punch the colt. We got quite drunk and played it
Speaker 1: back really loud, and he kind of freaked out. He said,
Speaker 1: it's all rubbish. It's terrible. It's terrible. We're fine with
Speaker 1: the future. The future is in our imagination and we
Speaker 1: can be as upbeat or excited or delusional as we
Speaker 1: want about it. But the past is where the truth lies.
Speaker 1: And so I left with more questions than answers Revisionist History.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the past us deserves the second chance. Listen and
