Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anthony, you're on with Queen and Canterra.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Anthony Skimuji.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, hey guys, you're.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
On in Albany, New York. You've been here before. I'm back,
Welcome back. We're big fans many times.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
I have a house in Green County, so I'm up
in Albany.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
A lot o nice Okay.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
So Anthony Scaramucci, high profile businessman, entrepreneur, has got a
couple of podcasts, the Lost Boys podcast and the Open
Book Podcast. Some of us know him from his eleven
day stant as Press secretary backtor in Donald's first term.
It's great to have you back on. Does it bother
you that your net worth is on the internet.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, it probably bothered me ten years ago. It doesn't
bother me as much as it used to. You know,
I think when you when you go into the public life,
you gotta take the lumps, you know, you got to.
You gotta take the concussions with the glory.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Anthony.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's funny I thought about you getting a little worried
when bitcoin went down below one hundred grand again this weekend.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
We've had forty five days where bitcoin was above one hundred.
It cracked one hundred, up over the weekend, but it
seems to be trending. I'll tell you one one. I mean,
if you guys want to talk bitcoin, I'm happy to it.
It's I see bitcoin as an antifragile asset right now.
If you remember the Silicon Valley banking crisis, yep, a
little over two years ago, bitcoin rallied into that crisis.

(01:14):
And yeah, it cracks a little because it's a twenty
four to seven trading vehicle and a lot of these
traders use bitcoin as a source of liquidity when they
need liquidity if there's a risk off situation going on
in the world, like this drumming over the weekend. But
take a look at bitcoin today one oh two, very resilient.
Of course, our price target for year end is you know,

(01:36):
we have a bandit between one fifty two hundred single
point estimate at one hundred and seventy five.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Anthony Scaramucci, we love having him on. He's got a
couple of podcasts. We're going to talk about Lost Boys
podcast and Open Book podcast. But what was Goldman Sachson
nineteen eighty nine like compared to what it's like now?
What was the what was the what was the vibe?

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I think the work ethic is the same, but I
think the insitivity training was very absent. And moreover, you
want to talk about like women, there was one woman
partner at Goldman ZACS back then, and I know there's
many many women partners there today. But I'll tell you
guys a quick, quick, fun story. You know, they they

(02:18):
used to when I was I started out as a
broker at Goldman and so one of the things they
used to make us do is do these coal call training.
And we had a submarine commander from the Vietnam War
who was the guy that was the head of training.
And it didn't matter black, white, male, female. I mean,
he brutalized you like you were in a nuclear submarine

(02:42):
boot camp, if you will. And so there's no way
they would do that to the people today. You know,
there'd be too many complaints.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Frankly, Now, Anthony Scarmucci, your other podcast is something that
said I've been kind of banging on to. Your other
podcast is young Men and the issues they're facing in
America today. It's called Lost Boys. And I say it
kind of joking here on the show, but when a
guy falls in love with a chatbot, he's vulnerable to
be made into a terrorist. And I think that's the

(03:09):
same thing you're trying to say. You're just saying it.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Better a little more nicely.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, Well, I don't know, I don't know if I
don't know, if I could say it much better than that,
it's pretty well said. I but what what?

Speaker 2 (03:18):
What?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
What we're concerned about? And I think, unfortunately, I've been
privy to in witness of some young male suicides and
if you go look at the demographic band fourteen to
thirty four, for whatever reason, males in that category have
a thirty percent higher likelihood of committing suicide than other

(03:41):
demographic groups. And there's a reason for it. There's something
going on in the culture right now. There's some level
of despondency, the heavy influence of porn, frankly heavy influence
of social media.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Right about. What about the money though, I mean, is
that part of it? The wage?

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think it is. I think it's part of it.
I think it's a I think they're having a harder
time finding jobs. They're having a harder time finding higher
paying jobs in some cases. And again I'm not necessarily
saying this is wrong, but due to trying to correct
some of the excesses related to men. You know, if
my grandmother were here, she's long deceased, but if she

(04:24):
was here, she said, it's a man's world. And so
we've tried to correct some of the excesses of that,
and I think it's had a little bit of a
back lash frankly. So so for me, it is the
money issue, it's the dating issue, it's the lack of
public social interface. Be blown away, guys at how many
people are communicating with each other over social media as

(04:48):
opposed to getting a cup of coffee with each other
or grabbing a beer. And so so for me and Scott,
we did a ten part mini series. It's a limited series. Coincidentally,
Netflix put out that that crime filler called Adolescents. I
don't know if you.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Guysible, but.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
You know, if you watch that, you'll see the young
boy is actually struggling, and the parents are not aware
of how much his struggle is. He's being cyber bullied,
he's being physically bullied, and of course he commits a
ungodly murder, which he shouldn't of course have done. But
you can also see the the empathy in the story

(05:29):
about how much pain there might be in certain people,
and so our our podcast is really just to raise awareness.
We've got a lot of good feedback on it, but
we're interviewing a whole cross section of people. It's sociologists, psychologists, psychiatrists.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Just we lost him.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
He didn't lose me.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
He dropped.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I didn't drop. That's all good. Tell him we I
appreciate him coming on.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Okay, sorry about that.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
There you go.
