Pushkin. Why am I running? Because this season of Revisionist History begins with me running. I finally get out of the house, mask up, get on a plane to Arizona, find myself in the parking lot of an Alamo draft house, somewhere on the outskirts of Phoenix. She thinks she's gotten away from me! Not so fast, my friend! Stop! I've done serious seasons of revisionist history. Thoughtful seasons.

Considered seasons. But I'm not sure I've ever quite lost it like I've done this year. What did I do when I came back from Arizona? I know you're part of the Disney empire, Jimmy. I know you are. I went on the Jimmy Kimmel show to go after Disney, the magic kingdom. They're upstairs watching this right now. They're probably trying to cut me off. Their finger's on the button.

You'll be lucky to be alive by morning. My name is Malcolm Gladwell. Season six of my podcast, Revisionist History, is imminent. And this time, I'm running for my life. Have you ever been hit by a car? Look, getting hit once is too many. Probably right around five. That's Lance Armstrong.

Even Lance is scared. Then I get mixed up with communists. Have I mentioned communists? I haven't. Ser's Lance Armstrong. Even Lance is scared. Then I get mixed up with communists. Have I mentioned communists? I haven't. Serious communists. Yes, he was what you'd call a parlor pink. He and his friend Harry Silver would fight the revolution in our living room. Revisionist history unbound, out of the house, into the world, and three three episodes three under the sea we're trying to give the feeling of of what is possible of what is possible and then i'd like to see whether we can create a public groundswell among nine-year-old girls in this country for... Retelling. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
