Malcolm Gladwell here. This season on Revisionist History, I am diving into one of the weirdest and most infuriating corners in American life, guns.

All the crazy myths we have about them, everything we get wrong. We're going to talk about TV Westerns, about a crime and a little town in rural Alabama.

About the nuttiness of the Supreme Court, it's our biggest series ever, and one you won't want to miss.

So of course, I'm going to do my very best to help him out.

Sorry, no, the opposite whatever I just said in your phone tap right now.

Hello. Hi, is this Manny?

Yes, my name is Patrick. I'm calling from Mass Multimedia Me Messages.

I'm the honest, I've never heard of Joe. You say triple them, but quintuple M. Yeah. I'm forwarding a note to you from your roommate, Asher.

Okay, so you knew Asher. Right. So I don't know if you want to write this down, but he says condescending wonka face to cat in the ceiling to success kid that as a text above it, saying open window to let fly out and it flew out.
