I've only seen the show once or twice, and we've never bought anything because of it being on there, but we do own a Squatty Potty.  Wife had a friend who had one and apparently loved it.  So now we have one.

I read one of the sharks said corona would make 90% of the investments she made on shark tank go outta business. 
 

I watched my wife help build a company that sold to Walmart so it always fun to see what she thinks of their evaluations and offers.

IMO, he's the only one that's an actual dick.  I've seen several shows, and I don't know if it's just to create drama/friction, but O'Leary frequently offers bad products perpetual royalty deals.  Equity can get diluted over time, but not a perpetual royalty.  I've not seen anyone take that deal, but if that's all you can get (including not being able to get a traditional small business loan) then you're business is probably doomed to failure.

I think I saw another shark come close to calling him out on it once, but normally they don't say anything because they aren't going to make an offer, and if that's all the person can get then more power to them.  But it's an absolute sucker deal.

I’ve actually read that Mr Wonderful is actually a really good dude. I read that Robert Hershoveck (sp) is the real asshole IRL.

Damon, O’Leary, and Barbara have all done interviews on barstool in the last couple of months and they are all really good and pretty funny. 

I’m a big fan of the show and still dvr all of the new ones.

Same. Love shark tank. 
There was a guest shark on a few episodes that I really despised. Blanking on his name but he was in the technology space and was such a douche.

Interesting.  I guess it's a tv show, and everyone plays a role to some extent.

They had Cuban on PMT as well. Great interview. Damon they have had on twice now. 
 

I think O’Leary can be a dick, but the more I watch him, the more likeable he becomes.
