From a kid who thinks he can be a jerk because his dad runs the
place and gets destroyed to a rich kid who thinks he is.
Great at everything because he's never been told no in his life
and life comes to him fast. These are the most satisfying
stories of rich kids who think that they run the world getting
destroyed in the real world. So the subscriber who submitted
this story one summer, had an internship at an investment
bank, or bank or one of those type of banking internships.
Basically, this kid was in college and you wanted to go
into a kind of banking or Finance.
So he had, he got one of those internships at a bank and these
were pretty competitive, so he was pretty Hughes pretty well,
prepared. He was pre-professional and he
was definitely up to par with the quality that this Bank
wanted. However, you know, there was a
couple other kids that were interns as well.
Well, I think the entering class was like four to five but like
what the one of the interns right was distinguishable e, a
lot worse than the others and very clearly did not care.
The reason was, was because this kid to not get in this
internship out of Merit, out of skill, out of, you know, grit
and the ability to, you know, persevere through.
Tough times know, this kid got the internship because his dad
was literally CEO of the bank. This wasn't like, one of the big
Banks, like, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank this was a much smaller
one. But it's still really big
enough. And obviously, if your dad is
CEO, it's you can probably swing an intern position at it.
Like you could probably do that. So anyways, right on the first
day of like meeting all of them, right?
It was like the first like meeting was over zoom.
And then they were going to do it in person, but there's like a
little, like pre-meeting type thing where they told you about,
like, information, what to expect, a little get-together,
the other interns and the subscriber and all the interns
got together on a zoom meeting. Well, for them did because the
fifth one was 10. Minutes late.
Can you guys guess who the fifth one was?
Let's see. ABC, a, it was a subscriber be.
It was another kid who actually worked hard to get there or see
the CEOs son, who didn't have to do a thing and got the
internship because of nepotism have you answered A or B?
Well, I don't know, you're just wrong because it was see.
Sure enough, it was the CEOs son, who was like, 10 minutes
later, whatever. So while the kids were like,
sitting in the zoom meeting like this listing to, okay.
So you're going to have to get there by, you know, nine every
morning. Expected to do X, Y, or Z.
If you have any questions, here's a good contact for me, or
your direct supervisor. Like this isn't like supposed to
be like competitive, like completely like you're supposed
to look work with each other. Like you could all get job
offers because the thing about the internship it's like you
really want a job after at a job offer afterwards that's like the
best option or add in a couple years or whatever.
And so they were trying to say like it's not competitive
between you guys you could all get job offers really work
together because that's what we do at the bank anyways.
And then like 10 minutes. And this kid just shows up
randomly and this, you know, this kid just like comes in,
he's all just shoveled. All the other guys dress up for
their Zoom meeting because like, they were kind of told in the
email. Hey, be a little formal.
Like, I know it's over Zoom or whatever, but kind of like show
up, you know, just kind of dress up a little bit for Zoom, but
this kid came in with a big sweat shirt on backwards hat,
which is totally fine to walk around in and like if you're
just totally fine, casual outfit.
But, bro, if you're really trying to like, I don't know,
put it together for like, a, in a fish.
Meeting or something like that and it says, don't dress
casually. Then don't dress casually but
sure enough. Since this was the kid at the
CEO, he literally didn't care and he came in 10 minutes late.
Trust up all sloppily or whatever.
So anyways, 20 minutes go by and it's time for all the kids to
introduce each other or introduce each other introduce
themselves and meet each other. So sure enough for it to go
around and they all say their first and last names and the
subscriber notices because like the subscriber did a lot of
research about the bank just because during the interview he
wanted to he was prepared if they're going to ask a history
question about the bank, like when was it, founded, who's the
current CEO, what is like all these kind of information,
right? They ended up not asking those
specific questions. But for that reason, the
subscriber new all this information.
So when you heard the last name of this kid, it matched up with
a last name of the CEO of the bank.
So, you know, very quickly with a nice little Google search, the
CEO of the bank was like, it was a big and it wasn't a huge Bank
was a big enough bank that this guy had like a public profile.
And through some Google, Google searching, right?
He found that the name of the kid who is in the internship
program happen to match up exactly with the name of the kid
of the CEO of the bank. And after a bit more research,
he found a photo in the photo smashed up.
So after the zoom meeting and doing a bit of research, the
subscriber realized that one of the interns is actually the kid
of the CEO of the bank, they're working at.
So, anyways, on the first day, sure enough, this kid, the
subscriber, and all the other interns actually work to get
there. They You know, they, they
struggled, they got, you know, they understand what it takes,
they understand how valuable this is because they put in the
work to get it. That's one thing you'll see when
people are just handed everything, they won't
understand the value of it. In fact, a perspective is in a
sense, they're robbed of the true importance that like there
they are robbed of, you know, the joy of, you know, reaping
the rewards because, you know, you're not reaping the rewards
anything you're just giving it. But anyways, it was very, very,
very apparent in the way. They're all these kids like,
showed up, because the ones that worked for it showed up five
minutes early, if not 10 minutes early because, you know, you
never know how long it takes is traffic with navigating the, you
know, the New York City bus system or train system,
whatever, right? So sure enough they showed up,
like, at minimum 5 10, 15 minutes early, but the, you
know, the spoiled kid. We're just going to call the
spoiled kid from this point on. He literally came in 25 minutes
late and he had some lame. Excuse like, Sorry man bus got
like like I don't know like traffic or something like that
which like fair enough like sure I guess but at the end of the
day, you got to be prepared for that.
It's your first day. If that happens, like two weeks
into the job, then I think it's more acceptable but on your
first day of work, specially for something really important like
this. You got to show up at least give
yourself a good enough margin especially if you're doing work
in New York City. Like I know some of you guys are
out of the country or the country, I live in the United
States and you never been to New York.
And some of you guys is in the country, I've never been in a
York City, that place is crazy. You got to give yourself a lot
of time because like traffic and stuff will happen and especially
when you want it to least happen.
So sure enough. They're in there the first day
and they're doing work. And when you're an intern
specially for like, a banking intern, you're not doing
anything too crazy. Like, for the most, you will be
like the most extensive thing you'll do is probably like
research or something like that but for the most part, you're
kind of just a coffee monkey and A PowerPoint slide monkey and an
Excel monkey. You're not doing that much.
So sure, enough, right there just rearranging stuff on Excel,
they're just kind of like editing PowerPoint slides.
It's a lot of work but it's nothing like that hard or that
interesting or stimulating, if they kind of just gave like the
interns in the very low level employees, like kind of the
grunt work, that no one really wants to do.
So they're all sitting around doing it and they're all given
one big glob of an assignment. So it's like they're given once
Backwards. Like okay, you got to do all of
this. You got to do this all this kind
of stuff, right? So sure enough.
There are, you know, there's all these things that they got to do
and the thing is though, it wasn't divided up evenly between
them, it was just given to one of them and they said, okay, I
need you to delegate all the, I don't know.
I need you guys to delegate the work between like amongst
yourself. We're not going to delegate the
work for you. That's up to you guys.
So sure, enough, right? They just kind of like all four
of them. Not the fifth one.
All four of them, they go in and, you know, they just, you
know, they go and they grab some work or they delegate some of
the work if it's not like paper works is a lot of it was Excel
Powerpoint stuff like that research.
So the one kid who didn't was the spoiled kid because why
would he have to work. His dad runs the place, he just
shows up because his dad isn't going to let him play fort night
all summer. Like You Did Last Summer, right?
He actually has to get a job or something.
Like screw you did. Give me all these opportunities.
I just want to play Fortnight and do nothing all day.
Me. But anyways, right.
Sure enough. Like all the other the other
four interns including the subscriber kind of gave this kid
aside, I like, are you really just going to sit there and not
do anything? So yeah, sure enough they end up
doing all the work and the kid is on his phone watching, like
Tick Tock videos or something and by like 8:00 at night or
something because they wanted to make sure they got it all done
and really show initiative on the first day, first of all, the
kid left, like a 3, which they're supposed to leave at
5:00 and the other stayed till 8:00.
Okay, the reason was because it was work for 5 people to finish
at 5. But if you only have four people
working on it, you're going to have to like stay a couple extra
hours because the last person didn't pull through, you really
do hate to see it. And this Pat, this was a pattern
that literally just continued on and on and on again.
However, you know, one of these days it's actually like about a
month into the internship and the interns are doing really
well. I mean the four of them are the
fifth one in ke. The spoiled kid literally sits
there and does nothing all day. So, Is he doing well?
I don't know. But it really good reputation.
The interns are accruing right now, everyone sees them as
really capable and just really impressed by what they're able
to do. So now they're given a more
official assignment. And also for the first time
ever, they're each given individual things they're
supposed to do. Because you're the reason for
this, is there each assigned to individual teams.
So each of them is like given as part of a team or whatever and
they're all given a A very important research role.
Basically, they've been doing research the whole time or the
four of them has been doing research.
The spoiled kid had not and they had done a really good job.
So they were all like four to five different teams were, you
know, going to be presenting to investors and they were pretty
important meetings. So these interns were given a
super important job and they were informed of how important
the job was to do research, to give to the analysts and
Associates to put together for slides.
That would be given to the VPS or the MDS or whatever.
Then present it. So what ended up happening was
pretty funny because basically what happened here was you have
to realize the spoiled kid had not done any research at all for
the last two weeks. So he has no idea what this
whole research thing is, right? So all the other kids do a
really good job, the subscriber and the other three, they do a
really good job. They Supply really good
information to the VPS and the analysts and Associates or
whatever put together, good presentations.
And you know it's a good enough presentation that The investor
wanted to invest based on the information they would have.
And if it wasn't right for them, then they wouldn't invest.
But wasn't because you know, the information was bad or as
presented in the poor way. However, with the spoiled kit,
the spoiled kid. First of all, he doesn't know
how to do any of it because he's never done any of it.
Second of all he's too arrogant to ask for help.
He's too kind of like full of themselves to believe that he
ever has to ask anyone else for help.
Especially the oh, the poor kids that he was like working with
like he'd never have to ask them.
Above them. There below him and a
combination of arrogance and procrastination led him to a
point where like a two hours before the deadline.
He's like, okay, I just got to figure this out.
And the thing is right, instead of actually doing research on,
you know, whatever specific thing they're supposed to do
research on, he just plugged in random numbers.
The thing is, though, the random numbers were like close enough
to being the right numbers, like if you had no basically, if you
had no context and you just believe These numbers at face
value. It's like, if I said, like a
hamburger, had a trillion calories in it, you wouldn't
believe me because that's not reasonable, but if I said a
hamburger, I had 300 calories. And it actually had 800, you
would probably believe me even if 300 felt a little bit low
because it's in the range of possibility, same thing.
If it like a, I don't know a piece of steak had 500 calories,
but I said it had 1200. You would probably believe me,
but if I said I had a billion, you wouldn't believe me.
So these kits. So the spoiled kid put in Random
numbers that were close enough to being realistic that the, you
know, the analyst and VPS didn't check them over because to check
them over with literally to be doing the grunt work again and
the whole point of the interns was to do the grunt work in to
find the information. So the analyst and VPS created
this whole presentation or an entire like deck or whatever.
These like Bank, people do what I have.
I'm not a banker right? I'm a little bit I'm into stocks
for my own personal you know, Financial T if you ever want me
to talk about that in my like second Channel.
Let me know. But yeah so they put together a
whole presentation. However mid demonstration to
these like very sophisticated important investors.
There was obvious holes in the presentation in something was
fishy in the investors, were questioning the numbers that
they were showing and the analysts and VPS were starting
to realize on the spot. That something was not right
about their models. Something was not right about
the information that they were given and apparently the
presentation was Massive disaster, like the whole thing
completely exploded in their faces.
So all the analysts the next day are kind of sitting in their
office. They have a little, we're not
analyst, sorry, the interns are all kind of sitting there a
little intern office, right? So when they're all sitting in
there, one of the, one of the, like, the managers walks in and
says, I need to speak to the spoiled kid right now.
The spoiled kid is on his phone playing.
Like, I don't know, Fortnight or something and like the other
three or other for them are doing work.
Work in the spoiled kid looks up and the other kids look over to
because they're like what? And like a whole team of like
Executives. Walk in and like we just lost
like our fourth biggest client because the information you gave
us was faulty like where did you get that?
Information is like I just and they're looking at him there
like we looked over the data and on closer inspection.
It looks like you just randomly put numbers in there and all the
other kids are kind of looking at each other.
Like okay, I totally believe the spoiled kid would do something
stupid enough. That like, it's totally not out
of the realm of possibility that the spoiled kid would just Spam
and random numbers and not actually do the work.
And yeah, sure enough. This is, this is probably the
greatest thing. This spoiled kids dad is called
down and he walks down into the office and he just has this look
of like, disappointment right on his face.
And what ends up happening is the spoil kids own.
Dad tells them that he's let go, but he's fine.
Hired, the spoiled kids dad fires his own son because he
messed up as an intern so badly that they lost their like,
fourth biggest client. I'm not even kidding.
You. And if you stop to this spoiled
kid was bad. Then you are not.
You are not ready for the next spoiled kid Story.
You're simply not physically prepared for the amount of
spoiled in this next story. Let's hop into it.
So the subscriber in this story is working at a sports
broadcasting company as an intern The summer.
If I don't really know it wasn't like ESPN or anything too.
Big like that. But it was a pretty big at least
locally sports broadcasting company.
So they covered all things in sports or whatever Sports media,
you know, stuff like that. I I'm not super well versed in
that field. So if I make some mistakes like
with technical things and you guys are super big sports fans.
This it? Keep going at that don't don't
don't you know don't take it too.
Personally in the comments I'll do my best but anyways, right,
so sure enough. Right there's there's Two
interns, there is a subscriber and then there's a spoiled kid,
right? So basically the spoiled kid, it
wasn't as if you know, his dad was the CEO of the company like
last time, however, his dad was like a really big shot like a
Hotshot, like big boy lawyer type dude.
And he like knew the guy who like ran the sports company and
basically said, hey, look, my son really wants to be an intern
here. I know he's not qualified, but
remember, when we represented your company last time, and we
did really good. Bob, I would really appreciate
if you did a favor for me to kind of like a conversation,
like that happened behind closed doors and sure enough, the very
not so qualified. Spoiled kid got a job with a
subscriber who is fairly qualified.
And you might be thinking of the subscribers is like, has a big
head saying that he's qualified well, at the end of the day.
The subscriber didn't have a dad who, like, try basically bribed
his way in. So he was at least qualified
enough that he did needed to be bribed in.
Right? So, sure enough, the spoiled
kids arrogance was Put on display almost right away
because as interns they were given a lot of work.
So in some cases when you're an intern, you're given nothing of
importance, like literally nothing of importance and I mean
that's fair enough. When you're an intern, you're
coming in with no experience and you just want to just want to
gain some understanding of what you're doing here.
But other places interns will be given, you know, really
important jobs. They're normally not jobs that
require a lot of expertise because I mean, how can you get
the expertise without having a Forties or how can you do
something? That needs a lot of knowledge
without a humilating that knowledge, you know.
But sometimes like really kind of like jobs.
Anyone can do can turn out to be super, super important for like
down the like the funnel, right? Like getting data, like getting
information can be like, you know, almost anyone could do it
if they're taught briefly, but that is a super important role.
You know what I mean? So, sure enough, right?
One of their very first assignments because they were
both given to different assignments but they were in the
same room so they were like talking about it or whatever.
Basically, one of them. First assignments was to give
information like real quick information for an on-air
broadcasting program that was going to go on literally an hour
later. So they're like, hey, like this
will only take you about 10 minutes, so we're giving you an
hour to do it. But basically we need you to get
X y&z. It's like information on the
broadcasters will use it online like on air.
And yeah so it's super important whatever, right?
So they're sitting in the room and the subscriber, he's going
to have to go up first and the spoiled kid goes.
Second. Or at least that's the line of
like the information that will be sent to the subscriber really
quickly goes up finds like exactly what he's trying to look
for and yeah. Gets it done in five minutes
because Bros efficient Bros. Got it done and he sets ascends
it Upstream basically right away.
So he's sitting there and the spoiled kid is kind of just like
going around. Browsing ESPN going on Twitter,
a little bit. So since they have a lot of time
and they're not really that much in a rush yet because I still
have like 50 minutes till it's very much deadline.
The subscriber asked to spoil get.
So like what do you have and the spoil?
Because there's, well, I'm supposed to send them stuff
about golf or something, but that's really boring.
I don't know if I want to do that.
And this the subscriber gives the spoiled kid.
A look, kind of like, okay? You find it boring but you're
not going to be the only person who watches this TV program.
Obviously, they want you to have, you know, golf
information. Send it Upstream because It's on
are, that's what you're supposed to or radio or whatever right
there. Like, you know, you said that
Upstream because that's what people at the time that you
like, they need a variety of sports.
There's people who are listening to that.
I know that you don't find it, interesting.
But there are definitely people who are tuning in specifically
to listen to that, you know? So sure enough right, you know,
the subscriber kind of looks at the spoil because like, bro,
like think carefully with what you're doing here, right?
And you know, The spoiled kid is like, you know, I might actually
help them out and the spoiled kid is super arrogant thinking
that he knows better than the people who run this place
themselves. And he's like, you know what?
I might actually help them out a little bit and make their stuff
less boring and send them. Some really cool information
about some football or whatever. And, you know, the subscriber
hears this and says, hey man, I really don't think that's a good
idea. I mean, I'm sure that you have a
lot of input and I'm sure you have a lot of good subscribers
being super nice here. But he's Like, I'm sure you have
a lot of input. I'm sure you have a lot to give.
But look, this is our first assignment and they're asking
for very specific stuff. Maybe tell them about what you
want to send them about football after the fact, so they can like
include it tomorrow. I also just think it's too late
right now because the people who will be getting the information
are expecting, expecting, golf information, and maybe they've a
football segment later. Am I just mess things up?
And this, you know, spoiled kids like, yeah, maybe you're right.
Is kind of just sitting there. But he didn't say.
Yeah, maybe you're right and like I yeah.
Okay, you're right, totally, I get it in a way that's like, oh,
you changed my mind. He said it in a.
Yeah, I guess kind of in a way, like, whatever, man.
I'm still gonna do what I'm gonna do.
Sure enough, right. The spoiled kid does not heed
the subscribers advice, because eventually five minutes before
the deadline. He sends in the information and
loudly says done. So the subscriber knows he's
done it because he the spoiled kid loudly says done, so he
looks over. He's like, oh so the UN did you
end up sending in the Gulf of information and the spoiled kid
looks at him and says Nope. And the subscriber looks at him
with this look of oh man, you messed up and the subscriber for
a second is like okay you messed up but does that mean we messed
up because like they're the only two interns thankfully write the
information like each of them was given a separate, you know,
bundle of information to send. And it was very clear that this
boil kids, was the wrong one, and not the subscribers.
But anyways, right, they tune in to the live programming and the
first light Like I think it was radio, right?
So the first sound bite that they hear was, you know, the
subscribers information that he sent in with some analysis and
whatever by the TV host or not, sorry the radio host and that is
a spoiled kids bit. And they start saying, okay, and
now in this news for golf and then like dead silence.
And that's when like the subscriber realize that.
Yep. This is like basically the
spoiled kid sent a bomb down the pipeline, bro, like eat is mess.
The whole thing up. And they're like, oh sorry,
we're going to come back to you in just a second with the gulf
information, we're going to go to commercial break and we'll
take an unscheduled commercial break in literally 30 seconds
later. The door, slams open and says,
why do we get football information?
We're supposed to get information about Golf, and the
spoiled kid was like, well golf is super boring.
So I thought I'd make your program that's boring.
And literally the guy goes up to him and doesn't like physically
like Shake him or anything but goes up to him.
Very intimidating Lee. Just stares them down and is
like that's not your call to make.
So the subscriber pipes up and says hey like I can get you that
information in like five minutes and they said okay good do that
right now. So sure enough.
The subscriber goes sends in the information and the programs
like definitely jumbled up because the ad breaks in the
wrong time and all this kind of stuff.
But eventually they get all the information they need and the
Subscribe. If the spoiled kid is like bro,
they should have like while this will all the subscriber is
frantically. Trying To get information about
this golf stuff. This spoiled kid is saying, bro,
they should have totally taken my advice and into football
segment instead like their segments super Shucks.
Like, I'm auditioning right now. It's going to be so bad and
subscribers like, man. Like, I'm sure it's better but
like he doesn't actually believe that but it's like I'm sure
you're right, but you can't do this.
So last minute, it's going to like it messes up the whole line
of production like this stuff is live.
It's not last. It's not like pre-recorded like
these videos and sure enough. I know this is Although spoilt
he's like yeah I guess I don't know man.
I just think they should have really listened to me.
So an hour later because they're all sitting there kind of like
awkwardly, like they really don't have a job next and I
think that they might have had more jobs coming up, but
obviously management had to figure out what was going on
with the interns or specifically one of the interns.
So sure enough the door opens up an hour later and the manager
comes in and is like hey what happened.
And you know instead of like you know, the the the spoiled kids
staying silent. He immediately pipes up and he's
like well you guys want to golf information but that stuff is
super boring dude. So I was just trying to help you
guys out and I sent in football information instead and it just
gets cut off. Mid-sentence in the managers, I
can't do that. You're an intern here we got a
way of doing things. We asked you for some
information and it totally mess up the thing on live like our
whole program got jumbled up, people had to work extra hard
for no good reason other than you thinking that You know, the
business Better Than People been doing this for 30 years and
there was kind of like a dead silence when I think this spoil
kid kind of realized that he was in the wrong.
And that's what the manager says.
I'm sorry to say this, your dad's not gonna be happy but we
can't we can't keep using in turn we seriously.
Can't your liability spoil because like what I was going to
make this place 10x better and guys like well I'm sorry click
on the video on screen right now, I know you'll enjoy it,
just click it, do it.
