Serengeti

Keep up with your boys.

When you're on the Serengeti.

If you get separated from the herd, you're the one that's going to get hit.

So to myself and another of my brethren, we made our way out looking for the rest of our guys.

The way I always account for the banking part of my career, now sort of knowing where I've ended up, is to say that if you are interested in human nature, if you're interested in humans and human behavior, the trading floor of an investment bank is the place.

It's basically, for people interested in psychology or anthropology, the trading floor is the Serengeti or the Masai Mara for people who are interested in animals.

And it's just a fascinating place, which we can come back to.

In terms of the financial crisis, The Big Short is reasonably accurate.

You know, there's an old saying that goes like this.

Lions in the Serengeti are man's best friend.

Lions and reticulated pythons.

But I'm changing things up right now.

Well, I think you allow it to be authentic and bubble from the bottom up, right? Versus it being this head issue, you make it an issue of the heart and an issue of my existential understanding of who I am, right? Because you get in the room, you think that you're the lion in the room.

No, there's some other big-ass lions in there, right? Especially you get up to the General Assembly, right? Yeah, I'm not the only one on the Serengeti or wherever the Lions hang out.

We're all in here together.

But again, as long as you side with the people, you'll be okay.

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary I know that I must do what's right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises Like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside Frightened of this thing that I've become

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa We're gonna take some time to do the things we never did Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you Gonna take her life to drag me away from you There's been about a hundred men or more I guess the rain's down

in Africa

Go to bed when it's dark, get up when you feel like it.

You never see a lion setting his alarm in the Serengeti.

No.

Your body should be able to do that for you, by the way.

And we did this analysis a few years ago.

But if you looked at something like Tanzania, that has over 20 national parks, economically, they could say, actually, we might just keep a couple of our really fancy, you know, revenue generating parks like the Serengeti, just keep those and the rest of them could be degazetted.

That might make sense economically.

It might make sense for voters.

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.

I The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become.

Gonna take the life to drag me away from you.

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
