Pushkin. It started with a feeling, some nagging worry about this world we find ourselves in this Steve kerges through the clipboard. Steve kerg has got teed up. Steve Kerve has got ejected. A world where everyone hates the referee. Those who can kick the ball play football, those account referee feels like someone keeps poking you in the back of the shoulder and then saying foul, foul, foul. I would never say the things that I do to referees to a person in normal life. I'm Michael Lewis, author of The Blindside, Moneyball, The Big Short, The Fifth Risk. This is my first podcast. It's called Against the Rules. This season, I'm taking you to all the poorly referee corners of life. Look where we're sitting right now, Michael. We're in a crappy parking lot across the street from one of the most important capital market building on the globe. On the globe, I just have some simple, basic questions. It's going through my trash people do it. Questions about what's happened to our idea of fairness? When you first float this idea, how's it greeted? Okay, So, when I first float this. Let me come on, this is the early two thousands and I'm talking about a new government agency. Oh, just what everybody's looking for. Right, here's what I think. We still need our referees, someone to make the call, someone to protect us when life's unfair. But these days it's not easy. Why would anybody want to be a rap? Seriously, I wonder that too many? And they're not allowed to say anything. They're not allowed to explain themselves. They're not allowed to defend themselves. So I'm going to defend them. It starts April second. Against the Rules is the new show from Pushkin Industries. You can subscribe now for free wherever you get your podcasts. So, do you have anything you'd like to say to the referees of the world before we turn this recording off. Don't pick sides unless it's my side.
