Anthony, when I listen to you, I always wonder how such an educated and intelligent man could have fallen for the Trump fantasy. It’s a good thing he fired you, it made you a better man. Love your show❤️
We live and learn, don't we? I think you were too much for Trump! To handsome, too intelligent, too charismatic. Ever notice how the men around Trump are so ugly? Some are just repulsive....he doesn't want anybody to outshine him.....
Hanging out in the rarified air with millionaire friends sometimes causes one to forget from where he came. Don’t forget your roots I think is the lesson he’s learned. Especially having read the classics that have spoken to him about the human condition and the weaknesses that can flower when we lose our guiding light.
@@OwenSindler l don't think he is trying to prove his knowledge , l think his brain just makes connections to things he knows or has read. Hats off to him if only a third of the country had his background, it would be a different culture.
Anthony - All your episodes on Open Book are great … but this one stands out … fantastic! Thank you so much … I wanna go back now and re-read the great works and my Greek Tragedies … Cheers !
28 years is just a blink of the eye in history. There were 2 people who were the hardest for me to give up when twitter became my x. One was acyn and the other Don Winslow. I don't have the worship gene, but if I did...
Fantastic podcasts Anthony and so unique in presenting to us favorite books to read. No amount of gold can compare to a great Liberal Arts Education! So I may digress a little here but I have one of my majors in French Literature. This has made me think as an American which American author makes for great American Literature. So.." Call me Ishmael!!" I am going to paraphrase from a book called "Why Read Moby-Dick? Moby-Dick is also about America racing toward the Civil War as well. It is nothing less than the genetic code of America:all the promises,problems,conflicts,and ideals that contributed to the outbreak of the revolution in 1775 as well as a civil war in 1861 and continue to drive this country's ever contentious march into the future. When a crises grips this country Moby-Dick becomes important. Ahab as Hitler,or a profit-crazed deep-drilling oil co. in 2010 or as a profit-crazed Middle Eastern dictator in 2011. So I think Melville is up there with his novel that transcends a certain time in America.
Whew! 👏👏👏👏 When you confess your vocabulary has gone to hell but chuck out sanctimonious right at the buzzer like that?? I love the sport of grandiloquence!
Trump makes Richard Nixon look like a saint. Love this. So insightful. I love Dante. My older brother was a classics major so Latin and Ancient Greek (both the literature and the language …) feel foundational for me too. I love what Don Winslow had to say and will add him to my reading list. I’m at the beginning of my writing career (one book in, but I haven’t found a publisher yet …) I love what Winslow said … it took him 16 books for the world to agree with him that he was a novelist. Small insights like this keep me going these days. Thank you.
Ive been in love a few times, married twice. My second husband i knew tor 10 years as a friend...but was instantly attracted to him...we met at a wedding...i was there with my first husband...when i divorced my first husband, two years later i found Lars, he wasn't married. And we started dating and were together until his death. No children, although I always wanted them. My second husband looked like a Viking..6'3", warm blue eyes, light hair....he was related to Stein Erikssen, the famous skier....
WOW. What a love story 😊❤. I'm so sorry he's not here with us, espcly YOU, anymore. I trust God in all ways & in all situations. That said- i still can't help but be saddened & confused when such perfectly-matched couples like you & the love of your life are separated by death so very prematurely. Seems that you should be able to live til you're 100 & just pass peacefully your sleep, together & holding hands.
Mooch, please put your laptop higher so you can give the appearance of looking into the camera, rather than down at the floor. We want to see your lovely face.
I'm going to buy some of his books, I'm an avid reader, classics, British mysteries, Martin cruz smith, the Arkady Renko mysteries...I have the hardcover first editions of theee, Gorky Park, Polar Star Red Square...I love them. I would like his books. My cousin read Dante...the Inferno...I'm not that brave! Right now..I'm reading a beautiful book...It' was my parents ' books, they loved to read.....the book is BEN HUR! By General Lew Wallace... I have always envied good writers. I just read Anna Karenina...700 plus pages....a beautiful 😂book. I love Dickens, Washington Irving, ellis peters, donna leon, Michael dibdin, the Aurelio Zen detective stories. I love the Greek myths. I am 76 and still reading. A good author is Edith wharton...Ethan frome. Poor Ethan....and so much more, non fiction as well. I am Armenian father one half, french and Portuguese...and my mom was all Italian. I've been to Italy, all over Europe...London, paris, Rome, Sorrento..my grandparents came from there. Also, been to England, cotswolds, etc...travel is wonderful. Too many Americans have not traveled...I've. Been all over the US and nova scotia 3 times...also, Mexico..I love Mexican jewelry and folk art. I've been lucky. My family were Democrat s, I still am.
Good discussion. I think the two major themes of The Iliad are first the consequences of human sin, in this case egregious adultery, second provoking the anger of fickle, infighting Gods.
the Helen of Troy in Providence would be of course actress Milena Kanakouredes, who played Sid, the M.D. in the show Providence. Arguably one of the handful of most beautiful women.
I'm noticing this more and more but only in the comments section from other people who've noticed it first?? And, honestly, I don't know if I'm worried more about my own cognitive ability or America's literacy rate?
I know this is true,but maybe after( if the media is allowed to report the truth) this dose of badguy romance we'll open our eyes to the ridiculous thought of it as romantic or alluring 😢
Everytime I get hooked on how brilliant Anthony is that I lose focus on the real interview he is one of the few people who is so well read
Anthony, when I listen to you, I always wonder how such an educated and intelligent man could have fallen for the Trump fantasy. It’s a good thing he fired you, it made you a better man. Love your show❤️
Articulate and well read above average republican intelligence.
We live and learn, don't we? I think you were too much for Trump! To handsome, too intelligent, too charismatic. Ever notice how the men around Trump are so ugly? Some are just repulsive....he doesn't want anybody to outshine him.....
Take it as a compliment that Trump gave you the boot!!!!
Hanging out in the rarified air with millionaire friends sometimes causes one to forget from where he came. Don’t forget your roots I think is the lesson he’s learned. Especially having read the classics that have spoken to him about the human condition and the weaknesses that can flower when we lose our guiding light.
The best comment 💙💛❤️🇺🇦🇺🇸💪
Anthony has great guests. I wish he would lighten up on "proving" his knowledge during the interviews. Give the guest more room please.
Gotta feed the fragile ego
@@OwenSindler l don't think he is trying to prove his knowledge , l think his brain just makes connections to things he knows or has read. Hats off to him if only a third of the country had his background, it would be a different culture.
Fair point. I do respect his intelligence. Over a series of his podcasts, Anthony does a lot of name dropping, etc. Thanks for your reply.
Absolutely fascinating interview. Thank you.
Really enjoy your interviews. Great author love his style
love love love Don's books
Ps, Anthony Scaramucci...you are the best there is and I also like the podcasts with Katy Kay.
Classics minor at Tufts! ❤️ I wondered why I loved listening to you! Keep it up
Anthony - All your episodes on Open Book are great … but this one stands out … fantastic! Thank you so much … I wanna go back now and re-read the great works and my Greek Tragedies … Cheers !
The faces change but human nature stays the same 🫠
Good discussion. Good show Mr Scaramucci 🙂..thank you.

Very fine interview with crime giant Winslow. Scaramucci impresses with his erudition.
Two of my favorite people. A wonderful and refreshing interaction…

Wish Anthony would post the date these interviews were originally recorded.

Funny, I really prefer the natural relationship with the camera.

When can we expect an 11-day epic called the Scaramucciad?
Good discussion. I think the two major themes of The Iliad are first the consequences of human sin, in this case egregious adultery, second provoking the anger of fickle, infighting Gods.
Hence the American Govt. ..!
I nominate Melville's Moby Dick or his poetry Leaves of Grass
I just wish there was a way we could explain the Illiad to Joe 6 pak, who is the voter who elected trump.
Achilles develops a conscience.
@@ttacking_you Joe 6 pak, "What's a conscience and why would you want one?"
17:05> God wrote his laws on our hearts.
Jeremiah 31 & Hebrews 8:10
the Helen of Troy in Providence would be of course actress Milena Kanakouredes, who played Sid, the M.D. in the show Providence. Arguably one of the handful of most beautiful women.
hannity went overboard with trump?? the understatement of the decade.
34:44💯
Anthony is all about Wall Street and that’s why he supported Trump.
A nation of wannabes ? RIP Amerika 🙏🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
We don't love greedy CEOs.
Where did you get this dumb idea?
You had one job. Write a headline Couldn’t do it.
I'm noticing this more and more but only in the comments section from other people who've noticed it first?? And, honestly, I don't know if I'm worried more about my own cognitive ability or America's literacy rate?
Great interview. Thanks, Anthony.
