Speaker 1: Pushkin. Lately, I've been calling up all my scientists friends
Speaker 1: and granting their wishes. And I know that down sounds crazy,
Speaker 1: but I'm going pie in the sky like you said, Yes, no,
Speaker 1: you get that request granted. I'm bizarre of the Magic
Speaker 1: wand I've granted your request. Oh yeah, baby, I'm the
Speaker 1: Czar the Magic wand my name is Malcolm Gladwell. And
Speaker 1: in season seven of my podcast Revisionist History, we throw
Speaker 1: off the shackles of convention and go where no podcast
Speaker 1: has dared to go before. We don't see his boyfriend? No, No,
Speaker 1: what other podcast puts a magnifying glass to the early
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties made for TV movie Doing Time on Maple Drive?
Speaker 1: Is doing Time? Is it comic in the air Cetilian sense?
Speaker 1: Do they resolve? Yes? Yes, it is comic in the
Speaker 1: air Cetilian sense. All television movies aren't. Season seven Never Sleeps.
Speaker 1: We take you everywhere. A factory way up near the
Speaker 1: Canadian border, the set of the original A Star Is
Speaker 1: Born movie, A forgotten laboratory under the seats in the
Speaker 1: old University of Minnesota football stadium. A swanky party in
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. My husband tapped me on the shoulder because
Speaker 1: I was so busy eating these mini kish and he said,
Speaker 1: put your food down, put your form, patty. Oh, and
Speaker 1: we go to Ohio. We spend lots of time in Ohio.
Speaker 1: I have my own hypothesis, but I can't. Oh, come on,
Speaker 1: what if I'm wrong? That's all about being wrong. Oh,
Speaker 1: we don't worry about being wrong, not this season, because
Speaker 1: every episode is about an experiment, thought, experiments, what if experiments,
Speaker 1: natural experiments, a little something I call magic wand experiments.
Speaker 1: Why a season devoted to experiments? Because if we're honest
Speaker 1: about ourselves, the list of things we don't know is
Speaker 1: longer than the list of things we do, And the
Speaker 1: only way to fix that problem is to put our
Speaker 1: unknowns to the test. Come join the Revisionist History Experiments
Speaker 1: starting June thirtieth, or if you can't wait a moment longer,
Speaker 1: June twenty third. For Pushkin Plus subscribers, find Pushkin Plus
Speaker 1: on the Revisionist History Show page in Apple Podcasts, or
Speaker 1: a pushkin Dot FM. Somebody step up, come and feed
Speaker 1: me either close. I have no idea whether I'm having
Speaker 1: bowl on the left or bowl in the right. Wait, okay,
Speaker 1: why don't I just hand it on the speed. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you're not going to feed me.
