1
00:00:15,276 --> 00:00:29,716
Speaker 1: Pushkin. It's Michael Lewis here. I'm back with Against the Rules.

2
00:00:34,436 --> 00:00:36,996
Speaker 1: Last season I talked about the attack on referees and

3
00:00:37,036 --> 00:00:41,916
Speaker 1: the idea of fairness. This season is all about the

4
00:00:42,036 --> 00:00:45,636
Speaker 1: rise of coaches in American life. Yeah, what are you doing?

5
00:00:46,036 --> 00:00:48,236
Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago that we only had coaches

6
00:00:48,276 --> 00:00:50,516
Speaker 1: in sports. You need to stop being a lazy piece

7
00:00:50,956 --> 00:00:52,716
Speaker 1: and work for your picture or I'm going to kick

8
00:00:52,756 --> 00:00:57,596
Speaker 1: your ass. Got it now? Coaches are everywhere. Shut up,

9
00:00:57,636 --> 00:01:00,916
Speaker 1: so I'll give you positivity. There are people who call

10
00:01:00,996 --> 00:01:04,756
Speaker 1: themselves life coaches and other people who call themselves death coaches.

11
00:01:04,916 --> 00:01:07,796
Speaker 1: It's a saying which is therapy is apoth of tears,

12
00:01:07,876 --> 00:01:15,556
Speaker 1: and coaching is the laughter. You can hire a coach

13
00:01:15,916 --> 00:01:20,596
Speaker 1: to improve your executive skills, your online dating performance, and

14
00:01:20,676 --> 00:01:23,756
Speaker 1: even your charisma. I am here to guide you and

15
00:01:23,876 --> 00:01:27,076
Speaker 1: making sure you grow as a person. But the rise

16
00:01:27,116 --> 00:01:32,316
Speaker 1: of coaching is connected to unfairness. The richest, best performing

17
00:01:32,356 --> 00:01:35,676
Speaker 1: people in the world have the most coaching. That guy

18
00:01:35,676 --> 00:01:37,956
Speaker 1: would never have gotten into Yale, but this guy who

19
00:01:37,956 --> 00:01:40,356
Speaker 1: got all this coaching did get into Yale. It just

20
00:01:40,396 --> 00:01:42,756
Speaker 1: seems like anyone who can answer these questions has got

21
00:01:42,796 --> 00:01:46,196
Speaker 1: to be coached. Who's coaching the uber driver. Coaching just

22
00:01:46,356 --> 00:01:52,756
Speaker 1: ends up making the rich richer. Yeah, join me for

23
00:01:52,876 --> 00:01:56,556
Speaker 1: season two of Against the Rules from Pushkin Industries. I

24
00:01:56,676 --> 00:02:00,156
Speaker 1: might even get a little coaching myself. So, Michael, if

25
00:02:00,236 --> 00:02:02,836
Speaker 1: you had something you wanted to be coached on, what

26
00:02:02,876 --> 00:02:09,836
Speaker 1: would that be? I'm not telling at least yet. Against
