This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Pushkin. Doctor Larry Santos here. Here at the Happiness Lab, we spend a lot of time talking about the happiness benefits of being a fan.

And it just so happens that another Pushin podcast has gone deep into this topic. It's a show called Against the Rules. Host by best selling author Michael Lewis. Michael Lewis is the brains behind books like Moneyball, The Big Shore, and Liars Poker. This season of Against the Rules is all about sports fandom.

But also sports gambling, which was legalized in the US just a few years ago. From a happiness perspective, this is a fascinating topic. Michael talks with gambling, but also pro basketball stars, Vegas bookies, and even experts in casino design. I also get to make an appearance. I really enjoyed our conversation.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
