Malcom Gladwell being interviewed by comedians is my new favorite genre.

I have to say i love this cantakerosity (if that is a word) between these two, and it doesn't detract from the conversation, it adds to it as it feels more honest.

This dude costed me $10,000. After I read his outliers book I kept my kid in kindergarten one more year (at a $10k cot) so she’s the oldest in her class and that was a huge success.

That "Daddy, hold this (bran muffin that looked better than it tastes)" line definitely rings a bell.

Stories must betray your expectations; otherwise they are just anecdotes. I heard Malcolm Gladwell say as much somewhere. It follows that he hates complaining, because it's expected to complain about hardship. It's not much of a story. But someone who works and cares despite hardship, that betrays expectations - that's a story!

00:27:48 Reminds me of a variant of indoor badminton a friend and I invented in high school P.E. called "Smash-Out". It had two main rules changes: (1) There is no "out" -- i.e., either you hit it back over the net or you don't; (2) you win the game by scoring five consecutive points. Some games we played over several days.
