Theo went to the next level of podcaster with Malcolm on this episode. One of the best. Making Malcolm more relatable. Not trying to box him in. Credit to Malcolm for being flexible in how he communicates and going with Theo's flow. Kudos and congrats to both of you.
Malcolm is a garbage person who was exposed by Matt taibi in a debate recently, to the people who didn’t realize Malcolm was already this way for a while. I guess you didn’t catch that or you’re just another tribal nut.
He definitely made Malcom more relatable …..when I saw how manipulative and disrespectful he was towards Matt Taibbi/Douglas Murray during a panel discussion it made me not like him much But in this setting he seems more fair. Which is cool cause he’s probably conditioned to not like the sound of a southern voice…..and yet he’s choppin it up with Theo seamlessly
Love the different types of guests you’ve been getting and I’m very happy your success has given you the opportunity to have these discussions with other great minds, appreciate you Theo!
He's so right about the validation and feedback stuff from your employer. One of my first jobs was a dishwasher at a busy restaurant/hotel and it was a nightmare but the kitchen manager would always shake my hand at the end of each night and tell me I did a good job, and that kept me coming back despite not really enjoying the job at all. I'll always remember that. Later on as I became a chef/cook, I made sure to treat my co-workers with that same attitude because it had such an impact on myself. I have yet to have a boss that does the same since.. and it's misserable working for someone who expects you to bring it day in and day out without acknowledging your hard work. Cheers ✌️💙 and ganggg.
It’s always crazy when two different people that I’ve followed for years sit down together. It’s like watching a dream play out with different characters in your life interacting with each other.
I'm going to buy some Malcolm books today! His voice and cadence is so relaxing and peaceful I need to buy an audio book! Really thought provoking and just an all around great podcast! I can't pinpoint the magic ingredient in this interview. It had magic dust all over it! Loved it. He is a marvelous communicator! This is one my favorites for sure.🎉
i recommend you download those illegally or something, Malcom writes well and is a joy to read, all of what he writes is sadly based on nothing but intentional misreadings of mostly bad scientific studies but his books are enjoyable to read, the sad thing is people loving the ‘insights’ he presents.
Wry true. But it just goes to show we can all do that. We need to get over our fears and just be curious about other people. We really aren’t all that different haha
I think Theo should take part of every show, like a segment, to continue to talk to “real life” people. I like it when he talks to police, morticians, nurses, etc.
To be quite frank, I am looking forward to his interview with the concierge from the La Quinta Inn down in Scottsdale, Arizona. Let's give it up for Scottsdale, Arizona yall!
Bro i need Theo Von too have Matt Mccusker on the podcast. They both have such unique ways of thinking. They both bring the same reaction out of people in the way people just like to hear how they think. Its really rare you find people with as unique opinions and comdey as those two. I desperately need a cross over.
Great episode! Love this conversation . You can tell that Theo is intellectually stimulated while enjoying effortless exchanges and seamless jokes between them. Great story tellers just volleying back and forth. I’d love to listen to Theo interview more of the Authors and Storytellers that he likes! Such a good episode !!!
Great episode. I watched Malcolm on the debates with Matt and was very hesitant to listen to him here. Turned out to be a very interesting conversation. Thanks Theo for bringing out the best in people
@@Charles-ij1ow I just watched it yesterday after seeing someone mention it in the comments and lost all respect for Gladwell. I loved "Talking to Strangers" as well, but his inability to listen, baseless racist accusations, and relentless strawmanning in that debate have me questioning all of his work.
@@jordanbrown1309yeah he’s a terrible excuse f0r a human being. That debate shows who he truly is. Not interested in honesty but in manipulation and arrogance .
Theo's description of centering himself in front of the TV set, rubbing his hands together in order to fully absorb every bit of the program demonstrates his brilliance. What a unique and effective COMMUNICATOR!
I have been commenting on a lot of different podcast channels requesting Malcom Gladwell! Kinda shocked to see it first with Theo, but you've been killing it with guests man! Thanks!
People actually like him? That’s crazy, but tbf I only ever seen him when he exposed himself as a propagandist when Taibbi and that British dude clowned him.
try reading the sources of any claim malcom makes in any of his books and compare what you find to how he explains it… it is quite sad but a really good excercise :) good luck in life:)
I can not think of too many books that have elevated my understanding of the world and myself more then outliers . The use of easy to comprehend statistics that are NOT stats that are played with to sell a point AND just STRAIGHT very easy math most people will comprehend makes it SO DIGESTABLE and has such great utility to understanding the world and how we all interact with it in regards to pursuits, makes it one of the best books ever . Could not recommend a book more highly . If I was running a school I would make it required reading and students wouldn't even find it a task considering how enjoyable it is . Few things I have ever read were such an enjoyable read while simultaneously making me smarter and more educated . What you learn specifically is of SUCH GREAT INTEREST and applicable to EVERY PERSON with even one ounce of ambitions but ALSO TEACHES YOU HOW TO THINK AND NOT GET FOOLED BY NARRATIVE and BS STATS etc . It's so well written that it is HIGHLY EDUCATIONAL for a very large group of people including those with very high intellect as well as average and it is probably MORE IMPORTANT TO READ TODAY then when published for most people but especially young people who are obsessed with screens and fake reality , fake narratives , and wanting to be famous instead of good , let alone great at anything . It removes so much BS from your brain about success and makes you way less vulnerable to being sold BS narratives , BS pop physce , BS products to make you whatever and Bull Shit in general . In my head despite reading it decades ago I think by now it informs soo much of HOW I THINK and it CLEANED UP SO MANY FALSE IDEAS In my head as well as made virtually everything I knew about people and life make sense on a practical level it's totally part of the operating system of my brain. It's way way way up the list and maybe #1 in regards to a single book that had the most utility in knowing HOW TO THINK and what is worth the energy In my life and what isn't. It's written so well with such great examples of how the world works in regards to outcomes that it REALLY CHANGES YOU for the better in a way few books can to think CLEARLY . I think Malcolm is being humble to say he is not as smart as Neil . Maybe Neil would score higher on an IQ test but I think that's of no consequence in regards to what YOU can learn from what he creates in the form of his writing . He is also EXTREMELY LIKEABALE and if you read outliers you would trust what he says much more then most people to give you a straight answer and at the least believe and know he isn't an agenda driven person and have trust that his method of research and what he puts out is accurate or at the least he believes it is the most accurate he can give and not an ideologue or suffering from conformation bias . He might be one of the few people I would trust as a politician which is a SURE SIGNAL he will never run for any major office unfortunately. It's a shame considering the recent agitation of race stuff considering he is of mixed ethnic background and understands so much of what precipitates outcomes and is such an amazing communicator . One of a few people I don't know personally who I would trust my instinct that he is about as honest as is possible for a human to be , particularly for people with a public persona . Ego is in check . Yeah I would suggest ANYBODY who Is not Familiar with him to check him out and OUTLIERS is a 100% must read for anybody who has interest in their life or THINKs they care about other people and might prefer to be less judgmental of people in general and or more judgmental of people who are in big positions you suspect may be pushing false narratives about how they ended up in their position of " greatness " .
My sister sent me one of Malcolm's books when i was in jail (Blink). And i thoroughly enjoyed it. Very enlightening, informative, and well written. I learned alot in that book and it was a delight to read! If you like to read, do yourself a favor and pick it up.
Looking good today Theo...LOVE that color on you! Looking forward to watching the rest of the podcast. I always love the guests you choose; I think it shows who you are and what's inside you. Adore your solo pods too 😉 Thank you for being YOU!!
Don’t listen to these bums in the comments, you stay bringing that energy and this is a great guest, I love the switch from silly one week to deep convo the next, gang gang brotha keep doing you
Two of my favorite guys sit down to have a real talk. I appreciate hangouts since they don't really happen in my life anymore. I am going to change that.
You are the shared experience right now Theo, everyone I know also knows how absolutely hilarious you are. I can just bring up jokes and they know. Keep it up man
I watched Theo von’s stand up on a projector with my whole family on vacation the other day and they lovedddd him! My parents are fully ready to go to his show. And of course all my friends catch up on the latest TPW episode every time we see each other. He’s become such a staple of our time! Gang gang baby 🙌
I kinda thought he was. And yet the last like 10 people I’ve met don’t know who he is. Which is wild to me. In fact no one In my life knows who he is. It’s insane.
Theo is genuinely good at this, and it’s cool to see how he’s grown and expanded. It’s obvious to see he did his homework, and Gladwells a different kind of guest for him he manages to stay himself, had to be intimidating at the start, but he nails it. Fav episode of TPW for me.
Can't stand Gladwell after seeing his temper tantrum and breakdown during the Matt Taibii and Douglas Murray debate. I feel bad for anyone who has purchased one of his books.
I think everyone is allowed bad days, when we speak and act out of character based on emotional responses. It shouldn’t make us “that type of person” our whole lives, when in reality it was a blip. We are all capable of poor behavior …imagine if it was on video?! He’s done a lot of good…can’t write everyone off for being wrong or rude…then we’d all be alone. Obviously, it’s up to you but I’d say it’s nice to give second chances aka Grace.
Loved this ep. It's really important for our society to recognize that these manufactured, digital enclaves will not be a suitable replacement for our irl tribes.
Malcolm needs to make his rounds around Von (so much respect for Von for having someone like Malcolm on his show) and his comedian buddies because the ignorance and racism is real among them, and I think he could enlighten them all.
Your problems may not be caused by you, (although they probably are) but you are the only person who can fix those problems. Take ownership, fix what you can, and stop worrying about the rest.
Theo truly represents the average man. We would love to talk to these brilliant men, and say dumb stuff, but we never get the chance. Who else can take a Times 100 most influential person and talk to them about their crazy hair for 5 minutes.
It’s essentially just to expose him. Seems like a lot of people here have no clue who this guy really is. No surprise to me knowing how dumb people are on a mass scale.
46:05 is my loudest and most incessant soapbox. When I was growing up, everyone mostly consumed the same media, particularly before mass-adoption of cable television. There was a stronger sense of shared identity, because so much of who we are is what we learn. Now, we’re all comfortably imprisoned in cells of our own making, and we never have to learn any other perspectives.
In the recent Munk debate Gladwell rips into how old Media was just one "white" opinion, even compared it to the time when women didn't have rights. Then he went onto say things are better now that different voices can be heard. I really think people just like to complain, you would argue it any way it was set up. So which is it? One main voice is not fair and many voices people only follow what they like. Either way your still complaining.
@@tier1solutions28hey man. These are the kind of people we need to break through and reach. Its a daunting task and incredibly discouraging, but its the only solution I see.
Not smart very dumb, he believes in the mainstream media. He supports their lies. Go do some investigating and you’ll see I’m telling the truth. You people need to get your heads straight and really learn what’s going on in society.
Theo is getting really really good at interveiwing people. At fisrt Malcolm looked kind of apprehensive his arms were crossed across his chest and then as Theo goes on he relaxes. Really good, I was getting sick of podcasts but this one is a good one.
I love seeing unlikely pairs like this. This was a sitting that never crossed my mind. With my brain's function of over-analysis being a double edged blade of curse and blessing. Its rare that two people ive acknowledged mentally(whatever their niche is, meshing or not, personalities coalescing or not) slipped through my tangle web of analytical convolution lol. Love it!(speaking in general now) Cause, when you have run so many scenarios, and things don't surprise you anymore. It becomes hard on your mentality. Things become dull, and whats worse is when you know the negatives that are to happen... yet you cant stop them. Or, you try to tell the people in your life whats up. To try and save them time and anguish. But, they dont listen. Repeating the same mistakes and complaining about them over and over again. Where it goes from genuinely trying to help, to trying to understand, to pleading, to showing how you were right(in a non condescending way), to "i told you so", to finally not caring enough to even say a word or respond to their complaints, and finally to see that pattern manifest in most everything and everyone... "Cynically Depressed" lol. So, being surprised, "mis-predicting", or coming across something novel(especially a combination of two thing that by themselves arent novel to you, but together are), is a reminder necessary for those stuck in monotony like myself. That there are fresh sparks, and wires yet to be cut; revealing those flickers... not just faded lifeless cables that no longer provide sparks, but rather drain your own. Or, worse... lines that masquerade as a live wire, but truly are no more than a tube that siphons in a cable's covering... Hopefully that made sense to some poor soul who spent the time reading this XD. But, im the type to ramble and roll out lol so 🤷🏻
Incorrect. Malcolm promotes the msm and the government as if they speak facts. He is a proven liar, catch some of the recent debates like with Matt taibi, it’ll help you sort that out. This world is fd if so few people have actual discernment ability. Holy crap. It’s amazing. Praising another guy that’s trying to destroy the world, so many people doing this with the worst types of people over and over again. Theo is great I love the guy. Seems like most people can agree but Malcolm is despicable. Malcolm stands by every bs thing the mainstream media has put out. Do you? It says a lot about you if you do. 🤦♂️
Malcolm really needs to earn back his reputation after his ridiculous takes were absolutely destroyed on the Munk debate. Used to be a huge fan of his. Theo's podcast is a good step.
It's soo special and appreciated when Theo sits down with receptive intellectuals. I feel like we all benefit when we see people with traditional intelligence have congenial discussions with folks with homegrown wits. It helps us remember that we can gain a lot from being open and comfortable cooperating with anybody
Yes this basketball player they speak of is a true legend. Ive heard of this story twice from two different people and with this cast only cements the legend. I heard this guy would rarely miss and shoot from anywhere on the court and was before the 3 line was incorporated. Loved the cast. Pretty glued the whole time this guy is a g.
Its nuts to think that one of our generation's greatest minds would take the time to sit down with Malcolm Gladwell
😂
Unironically tho
Down right testicular
Kudos on a much more smooth delivery of a message I also tried relaying. 🙏
Praise God baby

Loved it. He is a marvelous communicator! This is one my favorites for sure.🎉
I def recommend listening to all of Malcolm' books instead of reading. There's just something about his voice 🥰
Go watch his debate with douglas murray and Matt Taibbi before you buy his book. This guy is evil!
i recommend you download those illegally or something, Malcom writes well and is a joy to read, all of what he writes is sadly based on nothing but intentional misreadings of mostly bad scientific studies but his books are enjoyable to read, the sad thing is people loving the ‘insights’ he presents.
U NEED to check out his podcast Revisionist History and start from season 1, his topics and amazing,
Theo isn't just about jokes, it's wild. He's just a smart and decent person to talk to in general. I loved this episode.
Wry true. But it just goes to show we can all do that. We need to get over our fears and just be curious about other people. We really aren’t all that different haha
I am always delighted by Theo's ability to enhance any dialog with amazing humans. I just love everything Theo is apart of. Keep it coming!
I think Theo should take part of every show, like a segment, to continue to talk to “real life” people. I like it when he talks to police, morticians, nurses, etc.
He’s not EVA GONNA STOP doing those episodes man! Onward.
To be quite frank, I am looking forward to his interview with the concierge from the La Quinta Inn down in Scottsdale, Arizona. Let's give it up for Scottsdale, Arizona yall!
That mortician interview was great! I loved it!

One of the greatest minds and Malcom Gladwell
Why is he a great mind? He willfully ignores actual reasons why his ideas aren't plausible. This is an authority for idiots.

That bridge gapper
A kind way to say one of the greatest and one dumbest and deceitful.
Ask 'Doug' Murray
You can tell Theo loved this convo.

Loved his books, always insightful, offering unexpected perspectives on various phenomena...this podcast was too short! Great discussion!💫

1:19:00 the talk about meeting celebrities on a plane was amazing. Malcolm sitting next to Stevie Nicks and Tobey Maguire... what a collab
One of my favorite pods!! New epi!! Let’s gooo Theo!!!
Malcolm needs to make his rounds around Von (so much respect for Von for having someone like Malcolm on his show) and his comedian buddies because the ignorance and racism is real among them, and I think he could enlighten them all.
Your problems may not be caused by you, (although they probably are) but you are the only person who can fix those problems. Take ownership, fix what you can, and stop worrying about the rest.
Theo truly represents the average man. We would love to talk to these brilliant men, and say dumb stuff, but we never get the chance. Who else can take a Times 100 most influential person and talk to them about their crazy hair for 5 minutes.
Theo the coolest for having Malcolm Gladwell on
It’s essentially just to expose him. Seems like a lot of people here have no clue who this guy really is. No surprise to me knowing how dumb people are on a mass scale.
What an unexpected guest… awesome podcast
Tina Turner is living on in Theo’s hair
Great episode, less laugh but more educational and more informative. Nice change of pace for the pod.
46:05 is my loudest and most incessant soapbox. When I was growing up, everyone mostly consumed the same media, particularly before mass-adoption of cable television. There was a stronger sense of shared identity, because so much of who we are is what we learn. Now, we’re all comfortably imprisoned in cells of our own making, and we never have to learn any other perspectives.
It pays off to learn about things that are popular. Unfortunately the most popular stuff nowadays is usually garbage. It’s all schizoid cliques
Sad n true especially teenagers
Only 27 and that hits the nail on the head, you're absolutely right. It's a pretty bitter reality but we all continue right? We'll see lol
In the recent Munk debate Gladwell rips into how old Media was just one "white" opinion, even compared it to the time when women didn't have rights. Then he went onto say things are better now that different voices can be heard.
I really think people just like to complain, you would argue it any way it was set up.
So which is it? One main voice is not fair and many voices people only follow what they like. Either way your still complaining.
@@Charles-ij1ow solid point, Charles. I like the way you think. This is easily the most philosophical I've ever gotten in a podcast UA-cam thread haha
💫🙏Thank you for thoughtful and insightful guests and conversation. 💫🙏
It always makes my day when Theo does a new podcast :)
Watch Malc debate, Matt Taibbi, and Douglas Murray. Malcolm’s only argument was to call them racist.
Yep. No interest in anything he says
Yeah that shit was weak. He also proclaimed that stand up comedy was easy. During that debate every “joke” he made was dogshit
@@tier1solutions28hey man. These are the kind of people we need to break through and reach.
Its a daunting task and incredibly discouraging, but its the only solution I see.
I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this episode 😅 huge fan of both- this was a collab I never saw coming but deeply needed ❤
Used to be but you cant unsee the debate with him and Matt Taibbi and Douglas Murray. What a morally corrupt racist.
i'm a simple man: i see Malcolm having a chat with Theo and I automatically click.
I’m a simple man. I see a Theo Von notification I stop everything I’m doing to watch. Gang Gang.
That’s half of America rn
On god
*Theo is a straight up legend for having Malcom Gladwell on!*
wow this is a crossover I wasn't expecting. Great choice of guest!
Theo using the expression “dark arts” like it’s a given that Malcom gets it is pretty funny. And what’s more funny is that he does seems to feel him
Theo has been crushing lately
Theo has been crushing for awhile, gang gang
i find it so heart warming theo reads his guests books
Theo brought us a smart fella
Not smart very dumb, he believes in the mainstream media. He supports their lies. Go do some investigating and you’ll see I’m telling the truth. You people need to get your heads straight and really learn what’s going on in society.
yo what ! i subscribe to both of these worlds but never thought i'd see the day they collide. theo keepin' it in the neighborhood, love to see it !
Theo is getting really really good at interveiwing people. At fisrt Malcolm looked kind of apprehensive his arms were crossed across his chest and then as Theo goes on he relaxes. Really good, I was getting sick of podcasts but this one is a good one.
So hyped when I saw the guest thank yall for delivering
I love listening to Theo say Canadian cities n province names 😂
This changed the whole trajectory of my afternoon. 🤘
Live long and prosper 🖖

I love seeing unlikely pairs like this. This was a sitting that never crossed my mind. With my brain's function of over-analysis being a double edged blade of curse and blessing. Its rare that two people ive acknowledged mentally(whatever their niche is, meshing or not, personalities coalescing or not) slipped through my tangle web of analytical convolution lol. Love it!(speaking in general now) Cause, when you have run so many scenarios, and things don't surprise you anymore. It becomes hard on your mentality. Things become dull, and whats worse is when you know the negatives that are to happen... yet you cant stop them. Or, you try to tell the people in your life whats up. To try and save them time and anguish. But, they dont listen. Repeating the same mistakes and complaining about them over and over again. Where it goes from genuinely trying to help, to trying to understand, to pleading, to showing how you were right(in a non condescending way), to "i told you so", to finally not caring enough to even say a word or respond to their complaints, and finally to see that pattern manifest in most everything and everyone... "Cynically Depressed" lol. So, being surprised, "mis-predicting", or coming across something novel(especially a combination of two thing that by themselves arent novel to you, but together are), is a reminder necessary for those stuck in monotony like myself. That there are fresh sparks, and wires yet to be cut; revealing those flickers... not just faded lifeless cables that no longer provide sparks, but rather drain your own. Or, worse... lines that masquerade as a live wire, but truly are no more than a tube that siphons in a cable's covering...
Hopefully that made sense to some poor soul who spent the time reading this XD. But, im the type to ramble and roll out lol so 🤷🏻
I read it and the wire analogy was beautiful. I don't know if it belongs here or not though ,,lol
2 hours of a lovely conversation for the pinnacle of the diologue. " Does the world really need another Robert 😂😂😂
I can't believe you got Malcolm on here! This dude came to my university. 2 great educated minds here
Incorrect. Malcolm promotes the msm and the government as if they speak facts. He is a proven liar, catch some of the recent debates like with Matt taibi, it’ll help you sort that out. This world is fd if so few people have actual discernment ability. Holy crap. It’s amazing. Praising another guy that’s trying to destroy the world, so many people doing this with the worst types of people over and over again. Theo is great I love the guy. Seems like most people can agree but Malcolm is despicable. Malcolm stands by every bs thing the mainstream media has put out. Do you? It says a lot about you if you do. 🤦♂️
Malcolm really needs to earn back his reputation after his ridiculous takes were absolutely destroyed on the Munk debate. Used to be a huge fan of his. Theo's podcast is a good step.
Gd I needed you this morning and here you are and I think this is a great guest for the north of us. Thank god lol😢
I honestly wasn't expecting it, but, I really enjoyed this episode. Great guest.
It's soo special and appreciated when Theo sits down with receptive intellectuals. I feel like we all benefit when we see people with traditional intelligence have congenial discussions with folks with homegrown wits. It helps us remember that we can gain a lot from being open and comfortable cooperating with anybody
love your comment! so true.
This was extremely interesting’ I didn’t know what to expect! Almost didn’t watch this one! Glad I did🤩brilliant guys❤️🔥
Malcolm makes me inexplicably uncomfortable but Theo man this was a wonderful convo. What a time to be alive
Why lol
@@samerezzoful he’s a liar and works for the government essentially
@@samerezzofulpeople in society with a considerable social influence paired with a cool calm disposition, should scare the hell out of anyone
@Whatsut Toya
You just described Theo haha
@@whatsittoya3770 As opposed to powerful people that are without a calm disposition?
Thank God my brothers are speaking now. 💔🙏
Thank you for all the laughs Theo. Gang gang baby. Come to Austin soon pls 🙏
June 11th at the bass concert hall
@@lav7161 thanks I missed that 😅
I gasped when I saw this week’s guest!!! This is more like it!
Theo you're an absolute legend bro! My goal is to one day end up on the pod! 😂🫡
every man's dream.
Yes this basketball player they speak of is a true legend. Ive heard of this story twice from two different people and with this cast only cements the legend. I heard this guy would rarely miss and shoot from anywhere on the court and was before the 3 line was incorporated. Loved the cast. Pretty glued the whole time this guy is a g.
Thank-you Theo, great show.
Theo is killing it and I'm just so happy for him
Theo is becoming the King of comedy, GANG
