Working in the fire safety industry, I'm really glad Hy-Conn actually got to market, it's dominated pretty heavily by the major producers so it's good to see them get floor space at FDIC with their own booth
Wait a sec. Guy Negre was behind the Airpod car thingy?? He is (or rather was, passed away a few years ago) infamous in the motorsport world for coming up with extremely overambitious engine projects, making a few prototypes which failed spectacularly as they were nowhere near the proposed specs and then going away for a bit before resurfacing with a similarly harebrained idea a few years later. He promised things such as having higher revs in a better band with the same horsepower as Honda or Ferrari using a W12 engine layout... the only use the engine ever saw was in a Le Mans prototype which was described as "unbelievably slow on the rare occasion it managed to leave the pits".
I wouldn’t say bumbled, he used fraud and deceit to get his fortune. Can’t bumble and pull off massive scams like he did with Mattel if you’re an idiot. Lol
It doesn't really sound like Rugged Maniac was a flop. They were a successful business for years afterward, Mark got a major return on his investment, and they never had any controversies.
It is frustrating how much money floats away into thin air with these silly inventions. they try so hard to get them going but it’s usually all for nothing 😅
That's Capitalism lmao very wasteful but also drives insanely creative innovations. It's often bad but there are def great things to come of it. Human ingenuity is accelerated if there is a direct monetary incentive
@@maybelater1464 do you know how many wine moms are out there? Seems stupid to non-alcoholics, but i'm sure the wine moms would find some use out of that. Just poured a glass of wine but need to pick up your kid? Wrap it up instead of chugging it, pouring it down the drain or leaving it exposed. Then when you've picked up the accessor- *cough* child, unwrap that baby and glug!
I had never heard of wine in a can until I saw this. (I am a South African who lives in Japan😊). I consider myself somewhat of a wine connoisseur and I would NEVER drink wine from a sealed plastic container or a can!😖
The wine thing was strange. As wealthy individuals, they must have know that wine from a plastic cup appeals to neither wine drinkers nor to sports fans.
So much of your content reminds me of the Game Show Network series 'Anything To Win' that ran back in 2006. Was depressed when it was cancelled, now 18 years later its good times again!

The air pod car is a terrible idea. The vast majority of energy input is turned into useless heat when compressing air. Perhaps way down the road when fusion is king or whatever it wouldn't matter, but right now while we're still rolling coal and other fossil fuels, getting like a 10-15% return on energy input out of the gate just to "refuel" is atrocious.
I love the idea of the AIR car, bit its really stupid to have one door opens from the front… The amount of head-on collisions… that would spell out a disaster
I feel bad Jeff had to spend another 10 years to get his product out there. That air car was a little selfish. You need to test a prototype, even destroy it to prove vital factors. I can't believe you can dupe the sharks and not get taken to court for it. Can't investors do that if you can prove the money was blown in non business expenses? That last one was basically that they saw the green and let companies take them for a ride.
What's even crazier, for me at least, about the Rugged Maniac thing from Boston is that my now ex girlfriend in college was the ex fiance to one of the dudes that helped create the Spartan Races around Boston. The DiStefano guy. He's the director of sports or something. Cheated on her while traveling in Europe with a coworker. She was and probably still is an amazing woman. Real great dude...
@@tonypepperoni3679 we broke up in college because we were going to different schools. We were too young for the love we had. That relationship was way after. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
Anyone else think of Battlefrog, the obstacle course company that somehow managed to buy the naming rights to the Fiesta Bowl before folding later in the year, when they saw Rugged Maniac?
some of these ideas, like Hy-con are really good. I would consider hy-con completely game changing for homeowners to bigger compagnies. I think licensing the idea is the way to go rather than wanting to control the manufacturing and distribution. The "idea" was what was great. I hope he end up making money though. Also 16:41 😻
I always question when people claim they get massive buyout offers then turn around and sell stake at a fraction of the value. Like the coffee capsule guy
if that zips shit ever caught on i could just envision the shear amount of indestructible single use plastic cups floating about the worlds oceans. good thing flopped
it's funny though, cause Copa di Vino, the other single serve wine company that appeared twice on shark tank and didn't get a deal either time that was mentioned in the video, is still in business, and the founder sold it to a beverage company for like $6 million in 2020, while the one that got a deal failed.
Robert is infamous for not responding to the people that he invests in on shark tank. I can't remember who it was but there was another inventor that said it took months to try to contact Robert's team.
HY-CONN: On the show, it was only 8 seconds faster than a traditional hydrant hook-up. Considering the huge costs involved in switching over to the new product, there is no way that most fire departments could afford to switch over. Especially for only 8 seconds.
I seriously don't understand how someone can basically just create a portable sealed single serve wine glass and receive $2.5 million..? Like where the f*ck does the high "value" come from?
This channel is never going to grow if you don't show clips, my man. Noone wants to hear you narrate for 30 mins. Can't show clips because of copyright? Make a new channel about something else then, no?
I'm aussie an why are you talking like that? Like nobody talks that way here bro. You sound like you are trying to deepen your voice more than it is... it's weird to probably any natural Australian who can tell
Ah yes, because you’ve heard every single accent? So what if he’s deepening his voice, who cares? If he enjoys doing it then let him. Don’t see why you care about that so much as a “fellow Aussie”
Most people don't narrate in their natural voice. And high-pitched loud Aussie accents are not pleasant/relaxing to listen to for long periods, believe it or not.

if they could make a better coupling for hand lines I’d love that. Such a pain in the ass.
The fact it’s being manufactured in the US is an even bigger boon. Need to get more jobs out there.
Now that I'm aware of that clip of Kevin O'Leary saying "Pee Pee Poo Poo" I don't think I could imagine life without it.
He says “poo poo happens” a lot. I hate it, and can def imagine life without it. But to each their own.
He’s the meme of the show and every shark including him knows it 😂😂

I believe the aluminum affects the taste and the aluminum would be difficult to maintain stable temperatures, which also affects taste.

Notice how many of these failures involve single-use plastics. There's a lesson there.
Yawn....

Nvm, they have a door on the trunk too. Not as bad as I originally thought, but still seems iffy😅

great video as always. I'd love to see you do a video on Action Park, a theme park in the 70's in the US.
They needed 5 million dollars to build a factory for that goofy looking car? 5 mil will get you a down payment on the land lease for that factory.
“I turned down a $25 mil buy out”
“I’ll give you a 1/10th of that amount for a quarter of your business”
“Done!”
Yeah that checks out
So basically most of the times when sharks “invest” they aren’t investing
Anyone else think of Battlefrog, the obstacle course company that somehow managed to buy the naming rights to the Fiesta Bowl before folding later in the year, when they saw Rugged Maniac?

1:06 Yeah but ordinary clear glass provides UV protection and most wine is in a dark glass bottles. Double protection from light.
Eating while I found this video so awesome job ☺️ I need this quality content in my life during times like this
Love these! More please
Seriously though, that Breathometer would be a hacker/data-broker/blackmailer's dream.
Cheers bro. Dope your vids.. please do one on Elon’s massive ongoing ponzi scheme ❤😂

Correct
Because they know their comp isn't worth anything.
hilarious and well made as always!
It’s crazy how well these vids are done. So in depth but never boring. After finding Amglimpse I binged the whole channel in 2 weeks. Love it
It's been a while since I've heard about hyconn. Last I heard it went under. Glad to see a comeback

great vid mate!
you can tell that the “air pod” was a sham when the creator wasn’t poisoned while meeting with investors
kinggggg you should make a video about that dude who discovered an irl ATM glitch and stole like a million dollars
I like the cat photobombs!
I mean based on the Hyconn, most of these businesses might actually comeback.
Please include more cat
I didn’t even know this cat existed. I’m upset at this.
apple heard “airpod” and hit the big red TRADEMARK button
