1
00:00:15,276 --> 00:00:23,956
Speaker 1: Pushkin, I start swimming, and I realized, probably like a

2
00:00:24,036 --> 00:00:28,956
Speaker 1: couple hours in, that I wasn't getting closer to shore.

3
00:00:30,756 --> 00:00:32,836
Speaker 1: There are moments when we realize that we're out of

4
00:00:32,836 --> 00:00:36,796
Speaker 1: our depth, that we're drowning. Respect the polygon. If you're

5
00:00:36,796 --> 00:00:39,596
Speaker 1: in it, you've got to do something now. If we're

6
00:00:39,636 --> 00:00:42,556
Speaker 1: really lucky, we'll find someone who knows how to save us,

7
00:00:43,156 --> 00:00:45,596
Speaker 1: but we have to know where to find them, and

8
00:00:45,636 --> 00:00:48,476
Speaker 1: then we have to listen. I think a lot of

9
00:00:48,476 --> 00:00:51,596
Speaker 1: people think that just because they can google something that

10
00:00:52,356 --> 00:01:08,996
Speaker 1: they know what they're talking about. Against the rules is back.

11
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:13,076
Speaker 1: I'm Michael Lewis. Each season, I've taken a broad look

12
00:01:13,076 --> 00:01:16,436
Speaker 1: at various authority figures in American life and try to

13
00:01:16,556 --> 00:01:20,756
Speaker 1: understand what their experience tells us about unfairness. I've talked

14
00:01:20,756 --> 00:01:24,996
Speaker 1: about referees, and I've talked about coaches. This season is

15
00:01:24,996 --> 00:01:29,156
Speaker 1: all about experts. Your life has probably been saved by

16
00:01:29,156 --> 00:01:32,276
Speaker 1: an expert many times over, and what's weird about that

17
00:01:33,036 --> 00:01:36,036
Speaker 1: you probably don't even know who they are. I'm a

18
00:01:36,076 --> 00:01:39,276
Speaker 1: long ways away from shaking a hand of someone whose

19
00:01:39,396 --> 00:01:42,916
Speaker 1: life I've saved. When people think experts, they think miracle

20
00:01:42,956 --> 00:01:46,876
Speaker 1: workers or magicians. People want you to be an all

21
00:01:46,916 --> 00:01:50,316
Speaker 1: purpose expert. Yes, they figure you cracked baseball, you can

22
00:01:50,356 --> 00:01:54,956
Speaker 1: crack cancer. Right. In season three, we hear from baseball

23
00:01:54,996 --> 00:01:59,836
Speaker 1: writers and oceanographers, nurses and former Gang members, medical billers,

24
00:01:59,836 --> 00:02:03,676
Speaker 1: and weather forecasters. They don't have much in common except

25
00:02:03,716 --> 00:02:07,036
Speaker 1: they've all paid some price for their expertise. I got

26
00:02:07,076 --> 00:02:08,716
Speaker 1: them up to ICU, and I had to take a

27
00:02:08,756 --> 00:02:11,876
Speaker 1: good time minutes to go to the bathroom and just cry.

28
00:02:12,116 --> 00:02:14,956
Speaker 1: Join me for season three of Against the Rules and

29
00:02:15,116 --> 00:02:20,956
Speaker 1: meet the gritty, the obsessive, the overlook. You're you're a

30
00:02:20,956 --> 00:02:24,236
Speaker 1: weather person, and you know you're a stooge. You're a

31
00:02:25,516 --> 00:02:27,676
Speaker 1: you don't deserve to be on the planet. You shouldn't

32
00:02:27,676 --> 00:02:31,396
Speaker 1: be breathing air. Against the Rules Season three hits the
