WEBVTT - Introducing Against the Rules Season 2

0:00:15.276 --> 0:00:29.716
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. It's Michael Lewis here. I'm back with Against the Rules.

0:00:34.436 --> 0:00:36.996
<v Speaker 1>Last season I talked about the attack on referees and

0:00:37.036 --> 0:00:41.916
<v Speaker 1>the idea of fairness. This season is all about the

0:00:42.036 --> 0:00:45.636
<v Speaker 1>rise of coaches in American life. Yeah, what are you doing?

0:00:46.036 --> 0:00:48.236
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't that long ago that we only had coaches

0:00:48.276 --> 0:00:50.516
<v Speaker 1>in sports. You need to stop being a lazy piece

0:00:50.956 --> 0:00:52.716
<v Speaker 1>and work for your picture or I'm going to kick

0:00:52.756 --> 0:00:57.596
<v Speaker 1>your ass. Got it now? Coaches are everywhere. Shut up,

0:00:57.636 --> 0:01:00.916
<v Speaker 1>so I'll give you positivity. There are people who call

0:01:00.996 --> 0:01:04.756
<v Speaker 1>themselves life coaches and other people who call themselves death coaches.

0:01:04.916 --> 0:01:07.796
<v Speaker 1>It's a saying which is therapy is apoth of tears,

0:01:07.876 --> 0:01:15.556
<v Speaker 1>and coaching is the laughter. You can hire a coach

0:01:15.916 --> 0:01:20.596
<v Speaker 1>to improve your executive skills, your online dating performance, and

0:01:20.676 --> 0:01:23.756
<v Speaker 1>even your charisma. I am here to guide you and

0:01:23.876 --> 0:01:27.076
<v Speaker 1>making sure you grow as a person. But the rise

0:01:27.116 --> 0:01:32.316
<v Speaker 1>of coaching is connected to unfairness. The richest, best performing

0:01:32.356 --> 0:01:35.676
<v Speaker 1>people in the world have the most coaching. That guy

0:01:35.676 --> 0:01:37.956
<v Speaker 1>would never have gotten into Yale, but this guy who

0:01:37.956 --> 0:01:40.356
<v Speaker 1>got all this coaching did get into Yale. It just

0:01:40.396 --> 0:01:42.756
<v Speaker 1>seems like anyone who can answer these questions has got

0:01:42.796 --> 0:01:46.196
<v Speaker 1>to be coached. Who's coaching the uber driver. Coaching just

0:01:46.356 --> 0:01:52.756
<v Speaker 1>ends up making the rich richer. Yeah, join me for

0:01:52.876 --> 0:01:56.556
<v Speaker 1>season two of Against the Rules from Pushkin Industries. I

0:01:56.676 --> 0:02:00.156
<v Speaker 1>might even get a little coaching myself. So, Michael, if

0:02:00.236 --> 0:02:02.836
<v Speaker 1>you had something you wanted to be coached on, what

0:02:02.876 --> 0:02:09.836
<v Speaker 1>would that be? I'm not telling at least yet. Against

0:02:09.916 --> 0:02:13.956
<v Speaker 1>the Rules is back May fifth. Subscribe wherever you get
