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.

Come as a stranger. Leave as a legend. https://www.acidcapitalretreat.com
