1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Wow, look at that. Stefan Bens looks great. He sounds awesome. 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Do you know what. So he's from South Africa, so 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: of course I said, what's up with the accent? Where's 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: the accent? He can snap into it instantly, numbers, he 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: can snap out of his other accent into well, he said, 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: he's he talks like that, speaks like that with his 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: family and friends. But for the radio and for everything else, 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: he puts on the other accent. He was awesome, and 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: then walks and Barbara Corcoran, Yes, my favorite. Don't I 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: promise you got to get close to that microphone. You 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: gotta get right on it, right on it, almost mouth 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: I'm almost yes, absolutely, swallow the microphone. And if Froggy's 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, you can see him on the screen. I'd 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: recognize that laugh anywhere. So Barbara, we're out there taking 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: pictures with Stefan Bens, and Barbara looks at Steffan and says, so, 16 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: are you still a virgin? Yes, you have to be fair. 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: Describe what he looks like today. He looks so innocent 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: and pure. Yeah, nothing like us, Yeah, nothing like us. 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: And then we got mileage. But I looked at Barbara, 20 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: so well, are you still a virgin? And she's just 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: hardly hardly? Did he answer the question? Yes, he said, 22 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: I am a virgin. You seem very proud of it. 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: I say, get that kid out of New York as 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: fist as you can. He looks like fodder. Right, Yeah, 25 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: women like you, and tell me he has no choice. 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: I was almost hitting on him. I know. I love 27 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: that about you. So, Barbara, it's you know, when we 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: have guests come in, we usually do some prep and 29 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: write some things down to ask. I never prep for 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: you because I don't feel a you're I feel like 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: you're just family. And I say just family, and that 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: is a compliment. So there is no prep for this interview. 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: We're just gonna free for all. We're gonna freeball. Its very, 34 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: very very nice. I'm a little offended. I would think 35 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: I should make you nervous and you'd be preparing all 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: night long. You may be nervous if you're a closer 37 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: to me physically. But anyway, so here we are. I 38 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: don't know have we talked since pandemic time? I don't 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: even know. Yeah we have, Yeah, I have no contem 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: months ago. Yeah, I'm no concept of time. It was 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: the last time you didn't prep okay, of course, and 42 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: it was a great interview. What are you talking about? So, okay, 43 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: let's just talk about what is the state of the 44 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: world right now, as far as the economy, as far 45 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: as houses, as far as renting versus buying. Let's get 46 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: that out of the way so we can have fun. Well, 47 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: the juiciest part of the economy for most people as housing, 48 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: and that's a good reason for that. It's first on 49 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: everybody's list on what they want to deal with, what 50 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: they want better of, what they want to unload. And 51 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: right now it's a really choppy market. A lot of 52 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: people are saying the market's coming down, it's going to 53 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: be a great market. Is it a good time to buy? 54 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: Lots of banter out there, But the truth of the 55 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: matter is the market hasn't changed that much. There's not 56 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: enough houses to go around. You go to an open 57 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: house today, you find there's another ten twenty people outside 58 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: parked in the car wanting to see the house, and 59 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: half the time you're going to overbid. I mean, maybe 60 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: that's better because a year ago is two thirds of 61 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: the time you'd have to overbid on the house. Now 62 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: it's half the time. But I don't say that's a 63 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: juicy market for buyers. Buyers are worried and they've parked 64 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: on the side waiting. There is a philosophy I read 65 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: about from time to time. People say I'll never own 66 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: a house ever again from now on for me, it's renting. 67 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: And they go through their reasoning why, and it's almost 68 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: you can buy into some of them and some of 69 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: the things they're saying, what do you think. I think 70 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: it's nuts. You know why? Why? Because they forget about 71 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: the long term gain of voting a house. You know, 72 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: most people in America when they retire, most people, I'm 73 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: not talking about the rich people, the average American, their 74 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: savings is their house. They were forced to save by 75 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: paying off the mortgage by parents old the house for 76 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars in New Jersey and that was 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: their retirement money. That's not unusual. See, I think you 78 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: really have to think about it long term. Easy to 79 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: be glib and say I'm gonna rent because I'm not 80 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: putting my money down, but pay the landlord the increased 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: rent again and again and again, and you can't do 82 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: what you want. It's no fun most people still want 83 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: to own their house. Now, Gandhi's renting. I am a renter. Yes, 84 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: why because it's a sad, sad scenario out here. I'm 85 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: going to give you the money to get in the market. Ah, yes, Barbara, 86 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: thank you tiny thousand dollars of course, and you're gonna 87 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: have to get something, Okay, I'll do it. Well, if 88 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: you could buy a house right now, are you saying 89 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: now is the time to buy, even with the interest 90 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: rates being crazy? You do it? I think so. I 91 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: think if you haven't bought before, well, if you have 92 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: a home and you can have the option of waiting, 93 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: of course you want to buy when interest rates are 94 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: at rock bottom. But the problem is people use that 95 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: as a reason for not getting into the market. And 96 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: you've got to get in the game. And I have 97 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: been in the real estate market my whole life. I've 98 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 1: invested in real estate. I've never timed the market accurately. 99 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: And I think I'm a pretty smart person in that 100 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: you can't do it. You just gotta get in there 101 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: so you have something to trade up on when you 102 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 1: want a bigger house, a bigger apartment, and waiting doesn't 103 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: get you anywhere. The longer you wait, the less likely 104 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: you are to get in the market. Very true. What 105 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: do you think about rental properties? You mean, what are 106 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: you buying them? Purchasing a property and renting it out. 107 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea because you know why 108 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: rents are going up faster than home values. Yeah, I 109 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: mean you have to know what you're doing. It sounds 110 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: easy to say, isn't that a cool idea? But you 111 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: really have to know your values. But it's a great 112 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: idea because why not have somebody else build an equity 113 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: for you if you can possibly afford it. Wow, the 114 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: Barbara Corcoran is here? Are you still having fun on 115 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: Shark Tank? Oh? Yes, I'm having more fun. You know 116 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: why because I've been doing it so many years, and 117 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: I've been so nervous for so many years. I'm always thinking, 118 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: how am I coming across? How do I measure up 119 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: all these insecure stuff? And last year, for some reason, 120 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: I dropped it. I have no idea what switch, but 121 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: I dropped it, and I actually went in there and 122 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: had more funking making fun of the guys, mostly including Laurie. 123 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: I love making fun of her. If you never see it, 124 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: because Laurie runs to the producer and says, I don't 125 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: want that in Shark Tank, and the producer always says yes, Wow, 126 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: so you're loving it more? Do you feel like you 127 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: wasted a few years? Not so much anxiety? You know, 128 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: talk about it because this is something we're all probably 129 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: going through it in one form or another. Good please chorus. 130 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: You figure it this way. First of all, Shark Tank 131 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: is filmed in June and then again in September, so 132 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: it ruins my whole summer if I have the anxiety. 133 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm nervous about goinger, I'm nervous about coming out. So 134 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: no more happy summers at Fire Island. I'm there anxious 135 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: all the time, which I hate even admitting it. I 136 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 1: hate myself of feeling it. But what happens at Shark 137 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: Tank is the drum roll beats up? Is there a 138 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: dog at my feet? This trash caner trash can that 139 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: moves in your new office kind of weird? Yeah? Yeah, 140 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: And so when you get out there you have a 141 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: lot of neurosis going on. It. Well I don't even 142 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: know what point I was saying. What were you asking me? 143 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: So I was asking you we're talking about anxiety? Yeah, 144 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: and you know the reason why I'm loving this conversation. 145 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: Barbara Corkran. You think, oh, she's Barbara Corkoran. You know, 146 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: started out as a waitress and a diner, owned a 147 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: real estate dynasty, sold it for a billion dollars, And 148 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: now is I'm Shark Tank. You think she's got it 149 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: all together. No, she's human, just like you and me. 150 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: That's what makes you so wonderful. I don't like that 151 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: part of me. No, tell you. I'd rather be secure. No, no, no, no, 152 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: you are secure in many ways. But I think we 153 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: need anxiety sometimes to kind of whip us back into shape. 154 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: But I needed fourteen years of anxiety and Shark Tank 155 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: now tell me that. Come. Well, no, you know what, 156 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: but you learned your lesson. See now you're really enjoying it. 157 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm a slow Learner's fourteen years being anxious and one 158 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: good year of being happy. Well with this your last year? 159 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: Are you leaving? No way? Mark keeps talking about leaving. 160 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: He's not gonna leave. He loves the publicity, he loves 161 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: the game, he loves being the big man on campus 162 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: with the most money to spend. No way is he leaving. 163 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm not leaving until he leaves. Huh, there you go. 164 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: I say it all the time. I think Shark Tank 165 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: and Judge Duty should all be shown in high school 166 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: classrooms because you really do learn so many things from 167 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: these shows that take you through life. I've learned so 168 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: many things. If I ever think I'm going to start 169 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: a business, I'll turn on a Shark Tank and look 170 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: at all the questions that you guys ask people and 171 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: how prepared or not prepared they are. Even just the 172 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: mentality that you guys seek in the people you're investing in. 173 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: So if someone is into too much, no, that's you're 174 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: not focusing. I think that's all very important, and I 175 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: didn't learn it until I was out of college. Yeah. Well, 176 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: you watch Shark Tank and you really learn awful lot, 177 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: even if you have no interest in starting your own business. 178 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: Teaches you how to sell really, Yeah, taught me how 179 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: to sell them. I was a salesman the begin with. 180 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: I see the thought of selling, like, for instance, here 181 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: on our show, we have sales, incredible sales team that 182 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: goes out. I could never do it because I'm just 183 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: not good at Oh. I had to push all right, 184 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: I had to push the Cedric's entertainer button. Oh god, 185 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: you can't use it? Okay. My last thing I said 186 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: was I'm not good at selling. I'm not good at 187 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: closing things. And when I can't close things through selling, 188 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: I feel like a failure. I don't believe you. I 189 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: think you're full of bologney this time? Can we use 190 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: the word blogny it? You know why you wouldn't be 191 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: where you were or are today without being great at rejection, 192 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: And that's at the horrible selling. You can take a 193 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: hit and keep on ticket. That's who you are. I 194 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: just I'm just stop buying it. Sorry, You're okay. We 195 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: love you. When you were a waitress in a diner, yes, 196 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: were you selling then? Rectally?

They are 199 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: your big tippers because they know they're going to see 200 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: you to marrow, so they're not going to jip you. 201 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: They come in, you memorize their names. I had a 202 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: cheat sheet of everybody's bold guy Joe, happy guy Mike 203 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: I had, and I would look at that. Good morning Mike, 204 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: good morning Joe. You're looking handsome today. Men fall for 205 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: that handsome line all the time, everybody was handsome. We 206 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: couldn't pull that off with a woman. She knows you're 207 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: full of crap. Would How would you sell a woman? 208 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: I'd just be really sweet and be subservient, like, oh please, 209 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: how could I make you happy? Could I get you 210 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: a little bit? Something else? Can? I I mean it's 211 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: acting in a way, but its sales. Its sales making 212 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: them feel big, happy to be there. They spend more money, 213 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: and most importantly, they leave a big tip. There you go. 214 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: All right, so we're gonna take a break. Barbara Corkoran 215 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: is here. I do believe, and I know you probably 216 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: get so sick of this. We may have a pitch 217 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: waiting for you.

I think it's always funny 220 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: because sometimes I see on Shark Tank, you guys have 221 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: to stretch a little bit because someone will come through 222 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: those doors extremely prepared. Everything is perfect, and I can 223 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: tell someone wants to rip them to shreds, but you 224 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: can't because they have like a great pitch. Yeah, so 225 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: then that's when the money starts rolling out. That's right. 226 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: I love that. I wish maybe the pitch coming up 227 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: is going to be there. It's not gonna be I 228 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: can tell you that.

I was making out with your boyfriend. 247 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: He was half your age, my age. A point in 248 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: the beginning, I did the math. I guess when I 249 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: was I had my hands on the right lap. Let's 250 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: move forward. Okay. So you say every time you come 251 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: in and people tried to pitch you. No, I didn't 252 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: say people. I said, you try to pitch me. They're 253 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: always terrible pitches. Okay, well I haven't. I have some 254 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: terrible pitches over there, and it's in the form of 255 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: Straightnate and Andrew and they're now entering the shark tank room. 256 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: So nervous. You should be nervous. This is Barbara Corcoran here. 257 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: You know, she has funding available for something she thinks 258 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: is worthwhile. It could be one hundred percent of it, 259 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: or may be a portion. To me, this is nothing, 260 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: is definitely worth while, wouldn't you say? And I would say, 261 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: this is going to revolutionize the at home fan industry, 262 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: the at home cooling industry. We're disruptors. Yeah, oh, disrupts. 263 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: Ready for this to get that checkbook out? Okay, we'll 264 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: get you a pen, all right, U Royalty Kings queens, pharaoh's, emperors. Yes, 265 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: what do they all have in common? Andrew a fan fan? What? Yes, 266 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: we did Caesar have a fan. Caesar had fans, well, 267 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: he had people waving palm fronds. But we've decided to 268 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: take the indentured servitude and slavery out of it. Okay, 269 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: and here we go. Looks a hat wreck. It is 270 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: the emperor fan. We've got three seven it's working. This 271 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: is low, this is medium, and this is high. Oh 272 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: my god. This also, this looks this looks very creepy. 273 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: By this is funny. You need to describe it to 274 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: people who can't see it. So just imagine it's a 275 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: machine that is waving a palm front, which is Andrew 276 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: right now. He is the motor of our emperor fan. Okay, 277 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: so your fan would have an actual motive. It doesn't 278 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: have a person that makes you. So then rather than 279 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: having someone waving a big palm from correct, you have 280 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: a machine driven emperor fan. But it goes up and 281 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: down that stick that you have a kid walking by. 282 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: We hadn't thought that this is on Instagram live, by 283 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: the way, if anyone wants to see she again, yes, correct, 284 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: where a cage obviously cage where on Instagram is this 285 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: Elvis Duran wing show, Elvis Duran show on a stagrammage 286 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: where it's seeing Yes, the Emperor fan. Because what's more satisfying, Barbara, 287 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: this or this spacillation up and down? What do you 288 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 1: think of the Emperor fan? Well, you're not allowed to 289 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: use curses on the show, right, No, boy, this is 290 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: gonna be good. Which one do you want to use 291 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: the F word the I'll tell you what. I'll take 292 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: the motor and you can have the fan. I'll take Andrew. Yeah, 293 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: but there's no way this thing is going to go anywhere. 294 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: It looks bad. It's an eyesort, it's a child hazard. 295 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: The motor. You didn't even say where you're gonna put 296 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: the darn thing. No, it's a terrible idea. It also, 297 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: it already exists, Barbara. I've tried to tell these don't 298 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: tell me this exists. So not in that capacity the 299 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: way they're doing it, but in many places in Asia 300 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: there are fans that go in that direction up and down. 301 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: Really yeah, and sometimes like a windmill. Yeah. Well, okay, 302 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: so did you not know? I w told him very clear. 303 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: I googled it and I couldn't find it. So, hey, no, 304 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: if you brought a regular fan then to Asia, you 305 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: could probably make a lot of money. You should just 306 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: export regular fans to Asia. Yeah. Hey, wait a minute, 307 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: so Barbara on Shark take Yes. If let's say a 308 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: team of people come out to pitch you guys, do 309 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: you ever see them do this? Did they ever get 310 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: into fights with each other? Never disagreements? They never fight 311 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: that they told not to. But I have seen one 312 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: group come out with four guys and the guy had 313 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: had a fainting fit, hit the floor, and I thought 314 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: it was part of the act all but they took 315 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: it on Cotton took them away. Did they get funding, No, 316 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: they're not allowed to ever come back because it's a 317 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: reality show. So you get one shot, that's it. I 318 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: felt so bad for the kids, wilds, the drama. This 319 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: is what you're saying, Barbara's you're not going to give 320 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: us any money for them. You're not getting a penny 321 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: out of me. Bye.

The guys were so good looking, 346 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: and so right away I was inclined to say yes, 347 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: and it's totally fun. Yeah, but you know what they 348 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: didn't tell me on that that night, they didn't tell 349 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: me they had only been in business one month. When 350 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: I asked them for this sales, they quoted annual sales. 351 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: Good for them. If I had known they're only in 352 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: business for one month, I probably wouldn't have apot it. 353 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: How are they? Well, they have like seventy franchises and 354 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: forty stores. They are making a ton of money, and 355 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: as am I am happy to say, good for you. 356 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: Their truck parks outside my apartment often in New York. 357 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: Here in Jersey City. You know, they have seven trucks 358 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: in Jersey City. What I've probably see in different trucks 359 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: and you don't even know it. So good look at that. 360 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: She also has Boho vans, yes, which I want to 361 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: come for the Boho vans. Yeah. They're great guys, but 362 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: they're not as sexy as my cousins. Yeah, okay, you 363 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: know that makes it easy to do business with guys 364 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: that are flirting with you, telling you beautiful, and you 365 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: know they're lying through their teeth, but you're like to 366 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: hear it. Yeah beautiful. No, no, not the way these 367 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: guys should loose it up. I'm not as good as 368 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: they say. That's not true. I disagree wholeheartedly. Okay, I 369 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: think you're beautiful. Okay, I'll take it from you all 370 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: the way. So there's the microphone. Is it off? Or 371 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: she'll slice me in half? I love that you do. 372 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: You can be really, really rough. I know my sense 373 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: of humors from New Jersey. You know they have caustic 374 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: and them. From an Irish family. The only way you 375 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: could be noticed in my family was to be funnier 376 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: than the next kid. And I had nine competitors for 377 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: my mother's attention, so we all got smart an algy 378 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: with our tongues. So that's where this came from. Yeah, 379 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: of course, before you leave, I always ask the question, 380 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm putting you on the spot, 381 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it again. What is your really 382 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: really really important life lesson that you've learned and you 383 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: want to share with others, or some advice that you 384 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: really think we all need to hear, especially right now 385 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: in this moment. I think all the charm in life 386 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: is your relationships with the people you love. All the 387 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: rest of it melts down important if you could focus 388 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: on that. Letting things get in the way of that 389 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: is so easy. But if you could keep focusing on knowing, 390 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: that's the gold of life. It really is. It's what 391 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: gives you the loves, the satisfaction and feeling like you 392 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: have a fulfill life. Really just relationships with people. Are 393 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: you that's not very good advice? I guess I think 394 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: it's great advice because a lot of us put up shields. 395 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Of us put up walls, and we don't let ourselves 396 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: love as powerfully as we should be loving. I agree 397 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: with that, and not only the walls, but I think 398 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: stuff gets in the way. You have to react to stuff, 399 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: and you don't stay focused on the gold. When this 400 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: stuff is getting win, then a year went by, two years, 401 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: and by what a waste? I agree, very true. I 402 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: love you, Barbara, I love you back. Elvis, thank you 403 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: for coming. Let's not to love.
