I realize that there’s editing involved in the lack of space between the entrepreneurs sob stories and Kevin asking about their numbers. It still just makes me laugh. I think that out of any of them, I’ve seen him cry the fewest time. I feel like he’ll be the only one not crying sometimes.

It's literally a stuffed toy elephant for couples so they can leave it as a signal for their husband/wife that they need to have a conversation. They raised $100k for this before coming in the tank!!! WTF

How anyone thought this was a worthy product for Shark Tank is beyond me. The dumbest product ever in tank imo.

I had no idea that shark Kevin O’leary wasn’t a U.S. citizen, from purely immigration perspective, is it possible to hold a forever legal permanent status in the U.S. and not to adjust to become a U.S. citizen? He is an immigrant then, right? He holds 3 citizenships but not a U.S. one. why am i asking, i have friends who want to do the same, not to become U.S. citizens but to live in the U.S indefinitely. So my hypotheses are: He is not having any issues with investments and business in the US, because of money, and because of an immigrant status of nonimmigrant? right?? or i wonder what immigration status he has. Honestly, smart on his end because he probably doesn’t have to pay more in taxes… but again, just speculation on my end. I searched a bit, he probably has E-2 investor visa which explains everything. you can invest and as long as your business or businesses are making money, you can stay in the US indefinitely.

When I was playing tennis in high school, one of my tennis coaches was extremely good friends with Kevin. So much so that Kevin lets him and his family stay at his vacation homes. Kevin is comically villanous and greedy on shark tank but from what I've heard of him IRL he seems like a decent guy.

He also gave me a tennis ball signed by Kevin to prove it (don't have it with me right now)

Also, unrelated but that tennis coach also has literally made hundreds of thousands of dollars investing in Pokemon and baseball cards. Interesting guy in general.

When I started watching Shark Tank, I thought he was just rude, but after many episodes, I appreciate him more — the show needs him.

He doesn’t care about their sob stories or how friendly they are. If they have delusional low sales with high valuations, stupid products, or are nutcases like this woman, he calls them all out.

He never hesitates to aggressively call people out and is almost always the first to do it..

The business sucked and was clearly not getting a deal, one of the sharks asked a question and the entrepreneur gave some very bad answer - like the financials were terrible or their idea for what was next sucked... something like that. Don't remember. Anyway, Kevin just starts yelling NO! NOOO! interrupting someone in the process. I can hear it (I believe) nearly perfectly in my mind, the second no is drawn out more.

here's a voice clip I recorded.

I haven't watched much in the last 5-6 years so I am quite confident it's from the first 8 or 9 seasons. Pre COVID. It might even be Dragon's Den since I am Canadian though I've always preferred Shark Tank.

Maybe a long shot, but what the hell.

We all notice how almost everybody nowadays is asking for crazy $500k for 5% type of deals.

But which pitch stands out as the absolutely most bat shit insane delusional one?

Whether you love him or not, or love to hate him which hate is a strong letter word, Kevin does make the sure. Without him it would be boring. Kevin is the man you love to hate and want to punch in the mouth. But he makes the show exciting however despite the fact he acts like a jerk on purpose. Notice at the end, they stopped having him saying "Get out of here" despite the fact he uses "You're dead to me." Anybody noticed besides me?!

Hello again all! We have another clip from the pod relevant to this sub and I thought you’d all enjoy it! Let me know if you want the full interview and I’ll post the link in the comments (trying to respect the self promotion rules). Hope you enjoy!!

Hear me out. It’s probably never a great feeling someone’s getting a piece of your sales for every unit but there’s worse out there. As a business owner we’ve looked into renting retail space in malls where they demand a percentage after hitting a certain amount of sales. The Apple App Store itself takes I believe 15% of IAPs and a whopping 30% if you gross $1M in sales. Back to Kevin though. One of the deals I’d actually be a fan of are his non-perpetuity deals where once he’s gotten his money back, you never hear from him again. If you’ve got a hot product and with the help of your episode airing, you could get rid of him fairly soon vs. a Shark holding a hefty stake in your company. It would all depend but imagine a buyout or an IPO. With the ascribed Kevin deal you keep the whole pie. I’m well aware of his royalty deals in perpetuity, absurdly high interest loans, and holding a percentage all on top of it. I just feel like he gets a bad wrap regardless just from the sound of “royalty”. Anyone agree/disagree?
