Transcript

Here are the best names for the 2026 investment banking intern class. Seven, give me Holden Assets at Bank of America. Just a guy who was born for the job. Number six, I'm going to want Flipp Holmes over at Blackrock. Look at the charisma that's completely bereft from this man's face. Number five, I'm going to take Dayton Coworkers. Sure he had some issues over at his previous job, but we're not expecting any of that over at Barclays. He's also single, I should mention. Number four, I'm taking Rich Guy. Honorable mention to the twins. Rose Prices and Jakup Prices, both working in the finance department at Exxon. I'm a little partial to Jakup over Rose, but not many people taste, such as myself. Number three, I want Bossis Son VIII over at Santander Bank. Just coming a string of legends. A long, long line of bosses. Bossis sons are hired at Santander, they end up excelling at the job. This kid didn't even interview for the gig. And number two, I want Hunt People. An absolute psychopath in the spreadsheets does not look his coworkers in the eye. Drinks too much caffeine and foams at the mouth. Perfect for Chase Bank, perfect for this list. And number one, my personal favorite, Udonis Haslem, formerly of the Miami Heat, currently of Citadel. Just great to see the big man make a retirement pivot. Hopefully Citadel has some seasoned this rookie around.
