The Last Scotsman on Wall Street
Description
Welcome back to paradise, where the rosé is chilled, the sun strokes the sea, and your third ear is tuned to the gospel according to Hugh.
This week, I take you deep into the delirious heart of Wall Street circa 2006, an era of mutual fund gods, tax-deductible lap dances, and a man named Scotty who nearly exploded trying to mask the scent of strippers with gasoline.
Yes, really.
In a 15-minute acid-laced recital, I read a wild chapter from Derek Wallis’ Occupy a Job on Wall Street. It’s called Gasoline Stripper, but I’ve renamed it The Last Scotsman on Wall Street, a madcap tale of booze, bravado, and the slow incineration of financial decorum.
I riff, I reminisce (shoutout to Dolcis shoes and the Edinburgh's Balmoral Hotel and wine lunches of yore), and I ask the only question that matters:
Can you survive Wall Street if you're the kind of guy who thinks strawberry daiquiris excuse drunk driving?
Spoiler: probably not.
Pour yourself something cold, take a walk with me through midtown madness and fiscal fireballs, and if you're feeling bold, come to the Acid Capitalist Summer Camp 3.0 this August 17th in St. Barts.
