  • Pushkin.

  • Hey there, it's Michael Lewis, author of Going Infinite the Big Short, Moneyball and Liars Poker.

  • On the latest season of my podcast, against the Rules, I'm exploring what it means to be a sports fan in America and what the rise of sports betting is doing to our teams, our states and ourselves.

  • I'm heading to Las Vegas and New Jersey and beyond to understand America's newest form of legalized gambling.

  • Listen to against the Rules on America's number one podcast network, iHeart.

  • Open your free iHeart app, search against the Rules and start listening.

  • It's an early morning in May 1942.

  • Lee Krasner is in her apartment on Ninth street when she hears someone outside.

  • Lee opens the door.

  • It's someone she recognizes.

  • It was Pollock's brother, saying she had to come to the hospital because Pollock had been on a bender.

  • Lee doesn't know what to think.

  • She asks where exactly Jackson is.

  • Here's Mary Gabriel, who you heard from in our previous episodes.

  • He was in such a bad way that he ended up in Bellevue Hospital, New York's infamous hospital for derelicts and mentally infirm.

  • For years, Jackson had tried to stop drinking, but nothing helped for long.

  • At Bellevue, Lee could see that he was in bad shape.

  • The man she saw on the bed was not the man she'd come to know.

  • Lee is speechless for a second.

  • She knew Jackson liked to drink, but nothing like this.
