Meanwhile Barbara does real estate crap which anyone who knows how to steal money legally can get into. Barbara is useless to this show.

I can tell he did not come in for Kevin, he would have taken that deal immediately. He was aiming for Mark or Lori for sure, good on him for sticking to his gut and waiting for Lori's offer.
Daymond was definitely trying to talk Lori out of a deal because his “competing” phone stand was inferior. He didn’t want a fellow shark to have a similar product that was better then his.

Mark didn't seem too happy but at the same time he was so quiet he never put in a deal. If you wanted the guy to make a deal with you you should have put one in.
He read through Mark Cuban's bullshit...he was trying to screw him...make an offer if you want in, don't just sit there and smile until Lori retracts her offer, then you say you're out.
Sad. People don't value Kevin because they don't see him as having the contacts he does. They see Mark's a billionaire, Lori has QVC and tv and they dismiss everybody else.
To an extent, yes. But a lot of people go on there and are either afraid of Kevin, or don't understand him and may be afraid of his personna. Or they go on the show already wanting to work with a certain Shark or Sharks.
@Dawaza Yea, I went on a Canada's Dragon's Den binge years ago when they had nearly all of the episodes on TH-cam. Nowadays, the official channel uploads one invention/pitch per day or something.
@@TemplarX2 1. Lori never closed the deal. It is likely Kevin would have had a similar problem. 2. Kevin only backed out after he heard the guy had only done $1,500 in sales in the previous month. At the bear minimum, he would have upped the equity.
Daymond was psyching lorrie out because of the competition and conflict of interests for him. It almost looks cooked; the storyline. Daymond having a similar investment with another company, then saying, “I forbid you lorrie”. A bit over the top, telling the fish, “you are the luckiest...”

"I've made you an offer, yet you're still not jumping blindly at it and continuing to pitch to the other millionaires in the room. It's frankly insulting that you're not taking an extremely important business decision on a whim and for that reason I'm out"
Yeah, he didn't want attitude investing in his product, especially someone trying to force and coerce him to agree to his offer. That would not have been a good working relationship.
There have been so much frothy and absolute bs back stories, I just go skip 10sec forward. But he did sound geniune. I can smell bs pitchers from the first frame of their faces.
I find it so sad that 99 percent of the products I see on sharktank I've still never seen outside of the show. Whatever marketing that happens after the fact just never makes it to my eyes and ears.
Lori will work with him and they'll make some money. That's her approach. Kevin even admitted in an interview that none of the deals he takes end up making money. His attitude is like that of a stock broker, not someone who owns and runs the business.

@@brianlynch8292 If you watch every episode, you eventually get the sense of which sharks do better at helping these small businesses. When they have the little "updates" segments, the useless sharks usually have no successes to really brag about so they almost have to create a positive spin without focusing on the sales.
Kevin doesn't care about HOW much money he makes but rather the frequency of his money... His royalty deals make less money but they consistently provide him with cash flow... It's why you see him take a smaller equity deal in some cases smallerthan what they asked and they still say no
Do not know about Him being arrogant..I noticed a lack of response ..of gratefulness and "Thank you" So many on sharks do talk at the same time..persons nervous ..trying to listen and make a good choice.. This occurred after Kevin's proposal.. His attention was scattered..not fare play

I think this guy messed up by not accepting Kevin's Deal right away. Kevin would want to license this product. They could make $1.00 off of every unit sold. Kevin could have doubled his money in a year. This guy would have a boatload of cash without having to do much work.
It didn’t close. Lori pulled out. He is doing great. Doubled life time sales and is in 300 target stores and raised 1.5 million. On track to make 5million + this year.

This was less of the fact he didn't take the offer, and more of the fact that he didn't even acknowledge his offer
The guy straight up ignored Kevin, and this offer was almost never done by Kevin where he gave him exactly what the guy asked for. In the end, Lori didn’t push through with the deal.
they're sharks. it's in the name, of course they won't play nice with each other OR the people pitching to them.
Mr wonderful let's them hear other offers
How many skipped his rap 😅
Wasn’t actually bad and I don’t even listen to music at all
Mark didn't seem too happy but at the same time he was so quiet he never put in a deal. If you wanted the guy to make a deal with you you should have put one in.
The sales numbers were awful for a supposed top level sales person. I don't think there's a big market for this product tbh
@@dontakeshit what? You gonna act like tik tok don’t exist? It’s actually a pretty unique product
@@dontakeshit no big market? its worth 25mil rn xD

Entrepreneur: I was making $30,000 a year!
Mark Cuban's smile fades...
He read through Mark Cuban's bullshit...he was trying to screw him...make an offer if you want in, don't just sit there and smile until Lori retracts her offer, then you say you're out.
maybe he paused to give him the moment to pick her...
@@xpez9694 he still should of made an offer if he really wanted it
I was thinking the same
thats all he seems to do nowadays, waits until hes the 2nd last shark and lets the other shark make an offer while he doesnt make one
Yup. If Mark wanted the product he would've jumped in earlier.
Sad. People don't value Kevin because they don't see him as having the contacts he does. They see Mark's a billionaire, Lori has QVC and tv and they dismiss everybody else.
Lori's QVC can't be dismissed. His product is going to do EXTREMELY well there. I believe he got the best partner!
To an extent, yes. But a lot of people go on there and are either afraid of Kevin, or don't understand him and may be afraid of his personna. Or they go on the show already wanting to work with a certain Shark or Sharks.
They fear Kevin will slit their throat the moment they fall asleep around him.
@Dawaza Yea, I went on a Canada's Dragon's Den binge years ago when they had nearly all of the episodes on TH-cam. Nowadays, the official channel uploads one invention/pitch per day or something.
If I had the chance I’d take Kevin
Everybody always waits for Mark to say if he's out or not lmaoo
This dude didn’t mark was about to make an offer when he accepted Lori’s
@@jamesfair9751 right! Boss move
Because the others are sharks but mark is a whale lol
I really love how Barbara is. She tells people it’s not their turn. Tells people to make good deals. Very guardian like
It was crazy how Kevin actually made an offer when it had low sales this time
Kevin instinct was right on that one. Too bad his ego made him back down and lose out on a now $25 million company.
@@TemplarX2 1. Lori never closed the deal. It is likely Kevin would have had a similar problem. 2. Kevin only backed out after he heard the guy had only done $1,500 in sales in the previous month. At the bear minimum, he would have upped the equity.
He saw the potential.
Daymond was psyching lorrie out because of the competition and conflict of interests for him.
It almost looks cooked; the storyline. Daymond having a similar investment with another company, then saying, “I forbid you lorrie”.
A bit over the top, telling the fish, “you are the luckiest...”
Mark was shady at the end. Like he wanted to make an offer but didn’t pull the trigger. I know he doesn’t care what happens because he is worth more than all of them combined maybe even 2x
Why shady, I found he is very patient
@@stevethea5250 because he was pretty much on the edge of taking the deal with Lori or potentially getting no deal at all. An hesitation on the deal with Lori would be bad for him.
Mark isn't hungry for deal or money anymore. His number 1 is his ego and persona. He wasn't going to lose any sleep over lowkey deals.
Mark has said he will never beg or grovel for a deal, because sharks don’t beg.
More like 4x
He pissed them all off, even Lori.
I love when Barbara spoke up for Lori when Daymond kept trying to interrupt her
"I've made you an offer, yet you're still not jumping blindly at it and continuing to pitch to the other millionaires in the room. It's frankly insulting that you're not taking an extremely important business decision on a whim and for that reason I'm out"
Thank You!
This guy is smart he got exactly who he wanted
Yeah, he didn't want attitude investing in his product, especially someone trying to force and coerce him to agree to his offer. That would not have been a good working relationship.
Mark was like your uncle called you at 3:00 am? like he was called the guys story out for being a lie.
There have been so much frothy and absolute bs back stories, I just go skip 10sec forward. But he did sound geniune. I can smell bs pitchers from the first frame of their faces.
how you know ? maybe it was true
@@mountainman6172 what an attitude !! You do not know.
Who made you a judge???
😲
Barbara: you need a partner...im out
I laughed so hard at this 🤣🤣🤣
@@max8038 Barbara: you laughed to hard...im out😆😆
Barbara: "The only St. Louis rapper I support is Nelly; for that reason, I'm out"
Wow, he shut Mark up so quick. Love it. Good job. You're going to go far.
I got my mommas spaghetti straight from the can 🤣
Yeah, they definitely didn't hear him! That was funny!
I wouldn't pay for his rap album but man is this dude hustlin!
🤣🤣🤣
I find it so sad that 99 percent of the products I see on sharktank I've still never seen outside of the show. Whatever marketing that happens after the fact just never makes it to my eyes and ears.
Maybe it's not in ur state half shit never gets here to florida
I mean thats all on you then honestly. most of the products make it big if the deal goes through after the show
Yea the only product I’ve seen in person is the scrub daddy
@@57Nights same
Lol same
“I didnt come here to rap..” processed to rap for 3 minutes straight.
*proceeds
Akeem's got an infectious personality. He was going to succeed selling/inventing/marketing something. I'm happy for this young entrepreneur.
Lori will work with him and they'll make some money. That's her approach. Kevin even admitted in an interview that none of the deals he takes end up making money. His attitude is like that of a stock broker, not someone who owns and runs the business.
Quite a few of his deals make money. He said that some don't make money, but that that is part of the game.
Wicked Good Cupcakes for Kevin
Scrub Daddy for Lori
The elves thing for Robert
Maine Lobster (I think) for Barbara
Not sure for Mark Cuban
Those companies have made absolutely massive gains
@@brianlynch8292 If you watch every episode, you eventually get the sense of which sharks do better at helping these small businesses. When they have the little "updates" segments, the useless sharks usually have no successes to really brag about so they almost have to create a positive spin without focusing on the sales.
@@benjaminpaul1224, He's a multi millionaire and didn't get there because his businesses don't make money.
Kevin doesn't care about HOW much money he makes but rather the frequency of his money...
His royalty deals make less money but they consistently provide him with cash flow...
It's why you see him take a smaller equity deal in some cases smallerthan what they asked and they still say no
yeah I would be pissed too if I accepted the exact terms and got ignored. The reason why she raised it to 25% is because she was the only offer.
8:24 The zoom in when Kevin went out 🤣. That dude was like 😑 lol.
Underrated
Barbara: “I don’t like people to see me cry and for that reason, I pout.
When he left Mark was like I was gonna offer him 200k for 10% oh well
What???? Daaaamn. Love me some Mark. Idgaf what nobody say. 😭😭😭😭😭
Now this is a salesman. Hard to believe he’s the entrepreneur and not a hired actor
Face-to-face. But he wasn't good enough to realize he should have been doing direct-to-consumer.
😂 this is hilarious from beginning to end
Damon is spot on in the end 😂
Dam is mad
Salty af
Did he just say "momma's homemade spaghetti straight from the can?"
😂😂😂
dead LOLOL
That's the joke
He was arrogant. Didn’t like how he disregarded Kevin’s offer like he didn’t need one. That’s going to hurt him going forward.
Do not know about Him being arrogant..I noticed a lack of response ..of gratefulness and "Thank you"
So many on sharks do talk at the same time..persons nervous ..trying to listen and make a good choice..
This occurred after Kevin's proposal.. His attention was scattered..not fare play
yeah he didnt even acknowledge Kevin's offer, dude does have a ego
Well his company is now worth 25 million I don’t think he’s hurt at all
@@xmo7m787 that’s a decent price for some arrogance I suppose lol
I can't believe he ignored Kevin's offer for so long.
7:41 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣 when you combine the fact he’s the only one with an offer on the table…absolutely hilarious
I'm wondering if Barbara even has money at this point 😂
She is the “poorest” shark so she is a bit of a cheap skate
She's the least rich by a mile
Update...
As of April 2022, Flipstik's net worth was valued at $5 Million, and it's on track to do $25 million in 2023.
One of the rising brands in the USA.
So much for Daymond's and Kevin's words!
Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars: " For such a magnetic personality and you being a superstar salesman, I can't frame it and so the best I can do is 20 bucks cash and bag of Jay's potato chips for 20%"
That zoom in on Kevin’s face when mr wonder pulled out
"You are one of the luckiest men I have ever seen in my life!"
- the man whose garage manufactured clothing line blew up by sheer luck
He also had LL cool J as a friend who wore a fubu hat to help market.
I want one of those, and for only 15 I'm going to order one
I'm literally looking it up right now
Why? Gonna stick it to your toilet? How about put the phone down for once
I like this kid's personality! I wish him much success!
The camera cutting straight away to Daymond bobbing his head and smiling is something straight out of South Park.
My man did less in sale in a month than I made in a week. Lol. Dude is lucky af that Lori offered him money.
I lold at Mark Cuban's reaction to hearing about the kid's $30,000 salary. He can't hide the disgust.
You never know what’s gonna happen..I’d take Kevin’s offer right when he said it… fortunately this time it worked out well for him!
The deal didn’t push through with Lori based on many comments here, but the black guy is doing well with his business.
@@idakristinedemesa5234 "The black guy"???? Homie has a name. As well as the option of a pronoun. Like what does his race have to do with anything??? It's giving "the slow bus". Like.. ???? 💀😭💀
The number one rep at Verizon or even a large Verizon retailer would make way more than 80k . He wasn’t number 1 . He might have had a number 1 month but no way
guys who boast like that are always 50% bullshitting
Why are you hating? Just because he’s black?
Pretty sure he meant number 1 rep at his store/branch. And he’s from Missouri I think he said so that sounds more likely.
@@solofromriverside5758 possibly . That would line up. But I thought he said in the country or for the company . I’m assuming maybe he worked for a small vzw agent and that could have made more sense
@@mrsmirx4176 Bro, not everything has to do with skin color. 🤦🏽♂️ I worked in sales and people always lie about their sales success.
watching this on 2x speed is such a different vibe
Jesus he nearly fumbled the bag
I can not believe Kevin gave him the offer he was looking for then the guy doesn't automatically take it. Wow...
He chose Lori who eventually backed out on the deal. He should’ve chosen Kevin instead.
@@idakristinedemesa5234 I disagree, Lori is literally the best in retail products. Now his company is with like 20 mil so he honestly didn’t need any shark lol
I dont get this one.. why do you need to paste your phone on the wall?

barbara: "you need a partner and for that reason, i'm out"
"I do have a patent, in fact, let me tell you a little bit about my story..."

Best rap on shark tank ever? I prefer Steve's rap from "I want to draw a cat for you"
Sorry but that was cringe
@@ovoxo5793 for real
😂😂😂😂
For that reason I'm out...
Came on hot and left with 2 sharks pissed off at him
I think it was like 3 but ok
@@jamesdombroski152 you might be right
Mark was going to go in till he accepted Lori's offer. He literally scratched his offer😬
10:05 😂😂 he was fed up lmao
Low sales are due to the high price and greed, if it’s costing you 58 cents to make, why not sell it for $2 or $5 at the most?
We don't know his operating costs, overhead expenses, or his debt from r&d. Just because it costs 58 cents doesn't mean he is greedy for selling it at $20 or whatever it was.
Think 10 is fair
Wait, why can't he listen to ALL the offers and THEN make his decision? Is that the rule in Shark Tank?
He should have told that he wanted to listen to everyone once. Just my opinion though.
Cause as the name implies, SHARK TANK
There is no rule for the shark, you do what they ask you to do or ask the shark if you bold enough if they willing
I just share the same observation..they tend often to talk all at once...not good for listening and decision making. Plus I am certain they are nervous 😱
@@nexgrid71 Someone did that before, and they still got shafted for it. The Shark that made the offer got ticked off when he said he wanted to listen to more offers, called them arrogant, and backed out. (I don't remember which episode). Following this, the rest of the Sharks (I believe) also backed out.
Respect to Akeem, he didnt just take Kevins offer and waited for the ideal partner
When kevin gives you what u asked, u immediately accept
Uh no. When Kevin gives you what you asked. You side eye. Side??? EEEEEEEYE! SIDE? EYE!
The valuation of Flipstik was $400,000 when it appeared on Shark Tank.
The net worth of Flipstik is around $5 million as of 2022.
25 now
He made Barbara feel the beat and for that she's out
😅
when kevin said “are you crazy” that took me out hahaha
I think this guy messed up by not accepting Kevin's Deal right away. Kevin would want to license this product. They could make $1.00 off of every unit sold. Kevin could have doubled his money in a year. This guy would have a boatload of cash without having to do much work.
It’s funny after Kevin accepted his offer, it just kept going downhill and then out of nowhere walked out with Lori 🤣
@@Luka23567 And worth 25 mill now. So... ???? Yeah.
It didn’t close. Lori pulled out. He is doing great. Doubled life time sales and is in 300 target stores and raised 1.5 million. On track to make 5million + this year.
Thanks for the update
No problem g
Barbara: "You blinked entirely too loud, for that reason I'm out."
