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