Adam Stephey here, the inventor. Launching this product showed me the truth behind the statement "You are guaranteed to miss all of the shots you don't take." Take calculated risks, and make things happen!
This is a prime example of an entrepreneur that knows how to present his company. He doesn't pretend to have illusions of grandeur and he's not afraid to admit what he doesn't know.
As soon as I heard the pitch I said "what a stupid idea" out loud but their sales shut me up real quick. I can't believe it. If I ever decide to start a business it will be a gag like this. No need to waist time creating something complex when people will buy anything these days 😂.
I generally just watch these episodes and don't comment, but this guy's attitude is so wholesome and I can't even recall anyone thanking the sharks before for their contribution to entrepreneurs.
You know, I gotta respect Daymond John for backing out in respect of the Council of Men. And also, what a stand-up, beautiful couple. Even thanking all the sharks who turned them down, complimenting the effect they have for entrepreneurship. All smiles, class act, and I hope they become millionaires.
The rare entrepreneur who doesn't get too hung about about equity in the face of someone who can make the remainder much more valuable than keeping 100%
He’s so polite & humble, such a wholesome character. Not loud & listening intently to their tough feedback. Bless him he must be a wonderful husband and his wife seems to be his perfect match🤍
I know it’s a gimmick but it’s definitely a business. With Amazon these days, people are always looking for gag presents.. and this “problem” with men, husbands, dads, brothers.. taking WAY too long on the toilet is a consistent running joke across all social media platforms these days. And this couple found a way to monetize that. And with the power of Amazon and social media.. it’s bound to be successful. If they put these up in Walmart during the holiday season in those gift aisles.. I bet it would sell out QUICK. I know I’d buy one. Might go ahead a buy one for my fiancé actually lol
Most of the time I'm a big proponent of countering, but I'm actually glad to see his response and gratitude for the offer from Mark. Should be good for all involved...though I still plan on protecting my "reading time" by not buying it :)
Mark saw the algorithms that Amazon showcased their product. It’s novelty. But, with the growing number of gut, digestion, micro biopics, products of that nature, etc, that timer will be represented often. And at such a low price point, easy to click and buy.
I bet it could be bundled with bidets or those stools you elevate your feet up on to angle your legs better. Could even be a toilet decoration for social media, can blow up that way too if they find a clever way to make it a tiktok trend or something
I thought this was a red flag. Amazon can change the algorithms at any time which would close off a major portion of their sales. It would be better to spend money on ads and have some control instead of relying on Amazon.
Barbara: “Wonderful Idea seems like I could get behind this and really ramp it up and take it to a whole other level we could possibly become the first TRILLIONAIRES! But for that reason I am out.”
Hey, I've sat on the toilet many times long enough that my legs fall asleep. It's a sanctuary especially for reading in peace and Mark Cuban is my man! I totally agree with him
These guys are actually awesome. I would 100% invest in them if they had other ideas. It’s crazy they making so much. Seems like a jimmy Kimmel skit on this show 😂
We bought one of these for my dad as a gag gift and he loved it😂😂. Its not super practical or functional. But its still a funny product and mainly a gag gift. Also i respect him for taking the only offer he got from Mark without negotiation. Proves they came for a deal
@@krrangarajan5391 Yep! It got out of stock in Christmas (which was right after the show aired...) Brought in more variety and is doing great! Mark here really got a great bargain!
I understand why Mark did it, as someone who struggles to find amusing casual gifts on Amazon in that price range every time Christmas, Birthdays or fathers day comes up.
Brilliant. That guy understood he needed one thing. More product and availability. He wasn’t concerned at all about equity. Mark could have gotten 35% of that company.
I literally want to buy one for every man in my life... LOL I ALWAYS talk about how my dad and boyfriend both spend way too much time in the bathroom!!! Women? We're usually in and out of there!
im going to be honest though, as a woman i’ve found myself in the bathroom for long periods before as well scrolling on my phone, and I know several women in my family who do as well to the point where legs go numb, not to mention a lot of women do their makeup in bathrooms which can take hours for some. So i dont really see it as a gendered product. But i do find it to be a waste of money, youre paying $15 for a gag toy that should probably be sold at the dollar tree by the looks of its quality. And not to mention the fact that one could make up their own similar gag for less money, or just set a timer on their phone if its really an issue. But people lack creativity now, its like we see something and say “ooooo, so cool, how much” instead of saying “I bet I could make something like that myself” Forgetting that there is usually an even better reaction to a gift thats homemade and seems thought out. Im sure one could find a sand timer at the dollar store or amazon for cheap and give them a funny card that relates to the toilet issue. Maybe if they sold this for $3 it would be more reasonable but $15 for something that probably wont be used and will most likely end up being thrown away because it doesnt even look nice is a stretch to say the least. You can get tons of better gifts for $15
So you want men to be like women? Lol. We're not the same. Not just in this, in many things. And that's totally fine. Women have annoying tendencies too but we don't try to pressure them for that or throw guilt, just accept that it's some "women's things". (in this comment I generalize a lot, nothing is 100.00% men's thing and 0.00% women's thing or vice versa but overall some things are generally typical for men and others - for women, you get the point)
That's because women have so many other things to take care of around the house. So staying in the bathroom for long periods of time would interfere with wife/mom duties. 😳
The lady who said that this product is a gimmick totally agree to her ! Such products will only have one time customers who try them but they realise that this is total waste of time will not come again so no repeat sales.
I respect this guy for many reasons but the biggest one is that he didn’t negotiate. I think negotiating is crucial but in this instance he knew his place and what kind of business this is and the fact that Mark Cuban joined him and gave him the money he asked for…no brainer. Take the deal! and he was smart enough to realize it. That was refreshing.
I need that for my kids! They stay in the bathroom forever! Somebody needs to invent a contraption that will just eject them off the toilet after 5 minutes.
He was smart to take Mark’s deal…..when you get only 1 offer from 1 shark don’t nickel and dime them if it’s a fair….asking for 25% is more reasonable than asking for 50% or higher
Oh he has the best answer when he looked at his wife after mark made his offer. That was literally the best reaction scene right there ever on Shark tank possibly. Love it he knew better than to play with that opportunity
Sounds like bulks of his money comes in on gag holidays. He *could* save the extra for inventory, but not in time for the upcoming Christmas. He wants the cash now (when aired) to capitalize while the algorithms were hot.
Product is good but i will set alarm on my mobile. So simple. But this couples confident and vibe also sealed the deal .. Cheers and enjoy your success
Entrepreneurship is not a joke, it takes hell amount of time, money and effort. Being an entrepreneur myself, i always adore other entrepreneurs who are doing great work in solving day to day problems of humans. Cheers to all entrepreneurs of the world.
800k evaluation for 1million in sales for the year? then he wants a quarter of your company for him to potentially triple that income? numbers dont add up.
Mark did great work here, as he said he is gonna generate 1M this year, Mark already got 25% means he will get his money back easily. Great wisdom by Mark than other sharks.

Sales is the best way to shut up naysayers.
The pet rock and potato parcel pretty much proved this already. But fads can come and go fairly quick.
It's still strictly a fad so not really investible. Just take your money and run.
$200k for 10% is overpriced for $294k in annual sales though. Not investable.
It's hard to argue with sales numbers
Mark " I love this thing we can put a Mav's logo on it and it will sell like crazy "
Same thing I was thinking lol
Actually I haven't thought of that, but it's genius.
And I bet Dirk would be so happy to see his face on one of these too 🤣

No you're not

Exactly. How are gag gifts not a business? Everyone loves a good gag gift. They make it sound like it’s a scam
Barbara: I didn’t poop today, that’s why I’m out!
Most of the time I'm a big proponent of countering, but I'm actually glad to see his response and gratitude for the offer from Mark. Should be good for all involved...though I still plan on protecting my "reading time" by not buying it :)
it’s actually not marketed towards you. but your spouses..
His response to Marks offer is exactly what id expect from the creator of this lol
The look on the other sharks when the billionaire makes and offer ...pure regret
I’ve definitely sent a screenshot of this product to my fiancé without knowing it was on shark tank. He’s right about the amazon algorithm
The guy is very smart and humble. His wife seems supportive and respectful. I hope they succeed and expand their business to other lines of products.
