Here's to effort. There may be times and places where it's a good idea to talk back to a military officer. But Germany Nineteen o six isn't one of them, so the young corporal doesn't the corporal.

To talk about now, come here again sitting by the fire, Pushkin H Q, recovering from a highly unpleasant riding Pushkin one

where's open sleigh. What mass guess, decided it had to be an open, slay December anyway get around as we settle in to read your burning lister questions about vision. Is history If you listen to the first two episodes of last season, a revisionist history you may contain you to be curious about my score on the law. School admissions test, nope, not telling you ok, question number one British, Malcolm Canadian, Malcolm and Jamaican Malcolm, would erase. Who would win interesting question? Ah,. Jamaican Malcolm wins. The spread, of course, English Malcolm, wins, the longer distances, Katy, Malcolm, doesn't, win all I M reminded of a telegram story, grand level, of course, being my my father when we first move to Canada from England, my father, an Englishman, was

in seeking Higgins were lazy and he decided to test this and we lived at the end of a long row of houses on a country like and those half a mile of houses, and so he had done party one night: he invited every one of our neighbours along this half now stretch not because he wanted its neighbours that because he, wanted to see a what point, would people drive as opposed to walk so clearly the first neighbour would walk right, it's twenty yards and maybe the second neighbour would work as it psych fifty yards away. But his boy was I'm point. Kragans are so lazy at some point: one's gonna drive, rather than were Huck half mile at most and he wants to know what was the cut off point. He was a mathematician. It was important for him to figure out what was the cut off point

We established the level of laziness in his neighbours that maybe a nutshell, sums up the quiet, dark genius of Grand Weber, who is greatly missed by the world next question. Sugar Kalkhi asks how much would with a woodchuck chuck if it would chuck could chuck. Would you know, my feeling on. This is what I've, as has always been sent, been consistent since the first time I heard that, which is why the area and putting so much pressure on the woodchuck, the Woodchuck This was to hang out and occasionally chug a little wood, and I will say no, no. You have to perform with the measure you there's a public standardize test for woodchuck performance. They were no let the woodchuck b enough already, unlike high stakes, woodchuck performance metrics next Leah asks do I have a favoured episode. Yes, I do well it's hard, I,

Elvis analysis per praxis. The last The episode in season three think I'll ever do on their good again. I think I peaked. I I'd say it You have to listen to it. And you want to know what's going on with a vision, history, that's public good! Well, don't start with that, because every other episode will be disappointing way. Until the very end revisions history when I'm ninety eight years old and I hang it up and then listen to it. So you don't have a big let down. When you go into my allowance. Gabriel asks about my mom. Why has Joyce Global not appeared on vicious history? A very good point Gabrielle I have been thinking long and hard about how to remedy this is my mom. In addition to her many other extraordinary traits has a lovely voice. She's dead the boys about time very low, very quiet, she's, like five

Does he leaned lean down to hear her? This is what happens. When you call every single time of called my for the last fifty years, this is what's happened. I call and she sees that I've called it Gus Malcolm how lovely to hear you doesn't matter it could be. I talked to her the day or haven't talked to her for two weeks same and then how she answer. Conversation chagos when she's had enough chagos good good right, a lot of questions about Jesuits, tick glory. Somebody asks about my son on that I may a Catholic Wanna be This came from my phone, the Jesuit up Those in season for revisions. History, You know, funnily enough. My friend, Jim Jim adaptation is imminent pastor, who I actually saw.

Yesterday we went for long, walk and Jim expressed, little bit of concern about my statement that I was a catholic wannabe. He thought I was amended. I want to be so everyone's mad at me out there in the world of pastors, but he did Jimmy concede and I'll get us to give your generous meant that judge. It's when you hang out with them, they're so impressive. That is kind of hard not to want to be one of them right. Last question from Obi Kenobi. He points out that Matt Damon was on bill. Simmonds to build them in Pakistan are dispersed, week and in it he references a revisionist history, podcast cause by name to talk about something that was said. Indeed, Toyota sudden acceleration podcast from season one and obey Kenobi wants to ask. How do you feel when Matt

and uses you as a reference, and the answer is amazing. I mean I remember where I was when I heard that I was in the Jim in the Hollywood economics on the treadmill and I'm listening the bill Simmons and there is like Matt Damon name. Checking me. How great is that? But I will say this is not the greatest. Holler route, history collared ever I'm sitting in a restaurant and my phone right and he d out. Sometimes it says unknown known collar or no idea. That's like coming from some stealth by swell there's a higher one, a more a more stealth which is like some gobbledygook thing, like Boola break I see blew my phone I'm about. What's this, I answer it a hollow and her voice says Malcolm Global and I go yes and the boy says Barack Obama, absolutely true. Broccoli,

call me I'm a cell to say how much you liked an episode of revisions. History, it does not get back That, ladies and gentlemen, I point about life, There were many, many more wonderful mister, nurse emails and next year? we will devote an entire up. So do this, I don't know friends what all my handlers, better say, but am it was her from all of you- and I hope I have enhanced your listing experience with this- steer questions like hey there. This is lorry centres- the host of the happiness lab. I had so much on creating the first season of his podcast, and I just wanted to thank you for being part of, for all you're amazing reviews and feedback. I've really enjoyed becoming part of Pushkin family this year, and I can't wait to see what else is in store So let me and my wishing you happy nope unintended holidays. I look forward to see

you and twenty twenty eight is just Richmond broken record wanting to wish all the Pushkin listeners a happy holiday season. Hope you ve had as much fun. In DARPA gases. We ve had making here's a twenty twenty. Let's get it I have a friend, I've been Hudson Newark tomorrow, Adler tomorrow, written some incredible books about food, including an everlasting meal, cooking with economy and grace she's been a cook at the famous Bernice in Berkeley, but more than any of that she's just hilarious and over the years of talking and eating with tomorrow? I've come to wish that everyone could meet tomorrow and now you can, in her new series from Pushkin called food. Actually, So a momentary and in this part session

We D tried georgian wines and that's not George. As in you know, Atlanta, that's Georgia, as in former Soviet Union Georgia, with it cool guy Stephen now, I'm looking at this time of night, I think I might be able to she wore designers Why so Isn't it by racial line suits my personal preferences area say you of wine is to me of why colors of natural wine, and if the georgian wine Stephen serving us, aren't binary, though not read or white. I mention this before these wines are all different shoes and that's considered a positive attribute, not a flop. Totally different from conventional wine, which, like other binary systems like male or female, black or white, has to be filtered to fit. It categories

Conventional wines, white wines, when you press the juice from the grapes you remove the skins, and you just do the fermentation with the grape juice. So you maintain. The Clare but when you allow that for me, patient to happen with the skins, then, The ten ends and the color the pigmentation will start to show up in the wine and so you see kind of on a spectrum of color the length of time that the skins have been in contact with the juice of the wine. And why would you not wonder why would you better take my skins out because but like purity, people like things at our sparkly in transparency, and so I think this is kind of like peep, like things that are really sanitized, and so idea of like these gains tat wines up until recently was really like a bit mark

Here you know it was not something that scene now commercially viable based on our own ideas. Wine and along the same lines, is demanding that wine be sparkly, impure, red or white demand that wine never change, which is Also, the antithesis of being accepting in flux, queer or at least open, natural wine most georgian wine, the kind that can be any color get stabilized to slow down the fermentation? If you want something to state exactly the same, oxygen is your enemy. Bacteria like us need oxygen to survive Well yeah me. I guess in the context of wine the biggest thing the biggest impediment is oxygen. It's just like fruit right. So if you cut an apple in half and you eat half in the morning and then you go to work. You come home and then the apples oxidized so Rembrandt, that's right.

So the same thing is true with these basic. We raw wines, I'm fine with when apples turned Brown, I don't throw that apple out. I a little brown or I save it till I have a lot of ground apples. Stressing me and late at night. At the last possible moment, I make applesauce, I Stephen S and he calls me a benevolent eater. Maybe I am actually buy that people so enjoy being stuck in pursuit of perfection. I think they're just told that's what they're supposed to do in wine and food, but the truth is perfection is just not that fun I think most of us would be happier feeling permitted to use brown apples and stale bread. I think embrace of imperfection might not be benevolent two ingredients but to ourselves. Jeer, sirs sizzling through now comes

just that the best route to embracing all the changes that come from leaving grapes with their skins is recasting it as a positive like stop calling it skin contact wine. You could call these this whole group. As opposed to a half grape line. But when you use the where we sounds says that he'd want the whole grapevine right see, Malcolm Gladwell, skin contact wine hope it points out so much better like a whole food, a whole grain whole milk who would want whole grape should exert now. Its exemplary written know that that feels a lot less sad. That feels a lot less unusual refusal alot more like the kind of white wine which I rarely drink present my five rules but see seems conventional law more conventional, not conventional, but more conventional man, the last wounded. That's perfect assessment! Congratulations! Eurozone anger!

that was me with tomorrow, Adler and former Somalia, Stephen Satterfield. I was the guinea pig in. Mars wine, tasty experiment, and let me tell you there are very few actual guinea pigs who get a gig that good get you self on luminary and subscribe to her, show food actually and you'll, hear just what I mean now: don't go because I'm not done with this cosy extravaganza. Yet. Little while we have a man who seems to think he has no friends He could not be more wrong. A little special excerpt from my forthcoming interview with the Great Conan o Brien stay too. I'm tomorrow had learned I'm host of the new show food actually that you just heard some of I'm so happy to have a seat at the Pushkin table.

And I want to wish you a calm and happy holiday. With this party advice straight from the Bible. It is better to eat a dry crust of bread and peace than to eat a feast in a house full of fighting, in other words, relax an email. Your happy at will be great hi, I'm no! If man, I'm a professor at Harvard LAW School and I'm a host of deep background, a show about the biggest stories in the news and what they really mean in historical, scientific, legal and cultural context. From the

background team to you. We want to wish you the happiest of holidays, but you know what I hate: the euphemism have a happy new year, have a merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah have a terrific Kwanzaa, whatever holiday you like go for it and enjoy, however when I'm Bethany Maclean the host of making a killing, I have loved hosting my ipod cast a big thank you to all of the guy so have come on enchanted with me and a big thank you to all of you who have lessened I'm back it's very nice to be in the same studio where I recorded the audio version of my latest book talking to strangers. But the audio book isn't just my I wonder that book to sound more like a podcast for listening to hear the people. I interviewed even to imagine scenes from courtrooms or labs that I write about. So we pulled out all the stops: Pushkin industries to produce a three dimensional note for them,

shall audio book than I am so very proud of. Talking to strangers is on audible. Now I've done a lot of interviews for talking to strangers trust me a lot, but I dont think I laughed more than when I did the podcast Conan o Brien needs a friend. Here's a If our conversation, which will air December sixteenth, in which I set off on a little hobbyhorse of ninety, in person. Job interview should be abolished. My face to face so in the face to face and count What am I finding out of finding out whether their taller short with the hair is darker? You know not how well they dress None of this is a very relevant whatsoever right, not their bid to be my assistant, Mister, Durham. I don't work with them. They work at a coffee shops. The email me stuff. They have to be the after reply instantly. They had to be super, organise it be nice, good, honest,

People. I don't like you, brought up this topic because you were in the room where my assistant, ok and I hired my assistant ten years ago, and I, I'll tell you that I met her. She seemed responsible, prompt and occur. Yes, yes, I professional, and it affirms everything you said I was completely horn, swallowing a word. It's never used much dreading this, the second. You talked about hiring and those that have like, please don't say any, but I say I will say then, as I did you need, we do you work information. Did you gather from the face to face it? You know it's funny. I was completely duped by and it's not sound fault, but it was I needed to hire an assistant. I was coming here to LOS Angeles my New York Sis and did not want to move, should a family so as hiring a brand new assistant I met with. I think ten assistance. Candidates in one day in

opposite Burbank and the stuff that you'd think I could take away like is she tall is short? I even got that wrong because I was I forget what happened, but I think she came into the room and sat down on his couch and it's a very low couch with soft cushions and she sunk into it. So I had this conversation with you yeah. And I remembered, and your hair was like all puffed out. If humidity is something so I thought he was Panama, but seriously so at the end of the day you get my ended up. I ended up hiring her and people said well, what's she like any simple she's, this very short woman with a big massive bush of black hair her name's Sonia Mov Ceci in. I think I can't pronounce it in you. I am yeah nice. And the renewal of the ice you nice for Armenia buying, but with the Irish, yes, persecuted, people I mean I, I know his eyes have your own story, but it could tell them

no one ever gonna secured the Irish. However, you just reduced irish history to yeah. You guys have your own story. Can I tell my favorite, let us have a potato for eight hundred years later. We are you, are you? Are you when you're finished with this story? That's embarrassed, yours is yes we're, not I'm a dynamic saying they vanished, she's, not she's, very tall, and here I got the visual cues wrong as well as her character. Refinedly Ritalin IRAN, maybe we're gonna, go I having willing on out to tell my all time. Fair in our story is this: pressure of alleged did is yes. I was very well put my life into the troubles story, to guess yeah right and we call them the troubled the troubles in a footnote to a truly great book on you. I read the following story is told during the the end of the Second World WAR, there was a british informer who was very, very high up in the IRA, and he was found out. They discovered was so they

ITALY, spirited him away to cottage in the b, no often the countryside somewhere and they interrogated him and they wrong and in a confession, out of him And they asked him to ride out his confession. I should stop and say stories based on deep affection. I have for the irish people and for their extraordinary literary legacy. Is no it's some of the ways in which we were course. I guess he's asked her out his confession. He says you will you give me time this? Yes, absolutely and so he's they capture him. In, I think, may not accords going out when he is finally rescued by the British in November working on it, but it's a beautiful store. I took it. Imagine if you like a hard. I regard and you ve got this trader in Europe. Is too you busted, you every morning you like sits down with his pen and paper
