Hey guys, it's Tracy with Young Hollywood.
I am walking down the famous Shark Tank, the hallway of dreams.
Ready to talk to the sharks?
Season 10.
Let's go.
So, we were talking earlier, he thinks I've been here for the entire 10 seasons.
Longer than I have.
I literally I I'm an OG.
If you try to scam me, I'm gonna beat the head off of you.
He yeah, takes two seconds for you to figure that out, right?
Boom, yeah, yeah.
No, there's a car right there, there's all kinds of things.
Yeah, there there's actually a legitimate car.
That's why we couldn't stand over there.
Things are getting real.
Things are getting real.
After every shoot, we do play Sharks and Minnows and this is our 10th season.
This is our season.
We're on our 200th episode, which is crazy.
Looking back on this entire decade, is there a moment, an experience, or anything that just like stands out as like that was something that actually happened?
Uh-huh.
Four years ago when Young Hollywood came on and did.
No, I mean, there's just so many.
We sold one of the companies that came on here five years ago for a lot of money.
It was great.
It was a company called Cycloramic, and they had a software app that when you put it on an iPhone 5 back in the day and you put it on a flat surface, it would bounce around and take panoramic pictures of everything, which is really cool.
Shot up to number one in the iPhone store.
And then iPhone changed the iPhone 5 to make it look like the 6, and it didn't work anymore.
So this guy, um Bruno, we had to change his whole company, got into all this computer vision stuff.
He just sold the company three months ago for $22 million in stock and the stock has tripled.
So now it's like more than a $50 million deal.
I made some money, he made a lot of money, and he started it with like $500 in his garage and just cashed out.
So that's probably where dreams are made.
Where dreams are made.
That is an example of the decade of dreams right there.
Right there in the Shark Tank.
But I feel like that's an example of just the fact that like the one thing that's so cool about the show is that you're evolving with the times.
You know, like like business is changing, entrepreneurship in America is always changing.
You guys are like on the forefront of that, which Do you think that's what keeps it so relevant and real?
Yep.
Without question.
I mean the deals we used to get when I first came on were kind of silly.
Like we had fart candles, we had I want to draw the potato one, the potato with a message.
Yeah, that was Kevin's deal.
Yeah, the potato message, you know, I want to draw a cat for you.
Now, we're getting deals that are a lot more advanced companies that still start small and can start anywhere around the country, but when they come on now, they're more sophisticated because they've been watching the show 10 years.
And we can't use our same tricks that we used to use all the time, because everybody's watched the show and they've seen the repeats and they've seen every episode five times.
So the sharks fed up their games.
He still kind of crushed people.
Without question.
Your favorite thing to do is just crush scam.
It's just too easy.
It's just too easy.
Oh yeah, if you come on here as a scam artist, it's over, right?
Because if you come on trying to Because look, there's tens of millions of people that watch every episode, and they're going to be watching it for years.
And so I don't want someone to, you know, think that this new supplement's going to lose them 20 pounds in three days or, you know, this is going to save the world.
if if, you know, if they're they're tossing out the nonsense, I'm going to crush their dreams.
Just you can't.
Can't mess with this one.
You can't get by me.
You can't get by me.
Maybe you can get by one of us, but you can't get by five of us.
Um, okay, so in honor of season 10, everything is about, okay, the entrepreneurs have to pitch you.
Right.
So let's turn the tables around for a little for a second for a second.
So you got 10 seconds.
Mhm.
To pitch yourself.
Why are you the best shark for someone to partner with?
I know my stuff.
I can afford to grow with you.
I'll answer every question.
If if you've seen it, I've seen it 10 times and we're going to make a lot of money together.
Bam, done.
Write me the check.
Was that even 10 seconds?
That was like four seconds.
Damn, he's got it down.
Have you ever fallen asleep in your chair on set?
They feed us so much food, but literally, I I fell asleep.
It was one of those times when Kevin was giving a royalty deal, and I knew how it was going to end up.
I fell asleep.
Never have I ever played a prank on a fellow shark.
Lori.
Daily to Kevin.
I've taken his pen.
Fuck, I hate his pen.
I put food under his, "Stop."
