yeah those toy guys were just so lol stubborn it was ridiculous. i mean why axe marcus to come help if you have no idea how he does things.

im very curious how much that Dane guy from sweet pete's is entitled to for owning 50% of the shares.

and if he were to get diluted down to 1% but the company was making $5mil a year, is it worth more than just the $150,000 he wants?

can anyone explain?

That Dane Baird guy seemed so ridiculous I swore he was an actor playing a role. but a quick interwebs search shows he's an actual true to life assclown.

That was possibly my favourite episode so far.

The Partner guy was a massive dick. He basically wanted the business to keep going so he had a built in rental income for his property that he already owned. He did not care if they made any money or not as long as he got his rent, that is why he did not want them to pay themselves a fair wage.

So glad that Marcus crushed him.

Really hope those people make a ton of money, they have real passion and work hard, they deserve it.

It depends on how you value the company.

If you base it on the profit per year the value is $0. Technically it is less than that.

Obviously there are things like assets (not much as the partner owned the building) and goodwill to take into consideration. In the end it is worth what someone will pay, but seeing as the couple could just leave and the business would fold not very much.

Do you mean $5 mill in sales or profit?

If it is $5 mill in sales then it is worth less than the $150k he was asking for. If $5 mill in profit then it is worth around the $150k he was asking for.

The problem with him being diluted down is that they probably did not have it in place to share all profits based on shareholding, so technically he could still get paid $0. He would only get his money if he sold his 1%.

Hope that makes sense and helps.

Marcus pwned that lime pie shop in the finale. How'd the guy get all pissed about the recipe, brag about everything and not mention he made his own crust

lol marcus "i wanna taste your crust"

Felt bad for the preggo chick. Glad she got a win out of the deal.

Lol @ the Best Key Lime Pie having no original recipe and a store bought crust.

Also lol @ how over dramatic the owner got about the logo change. "I need to sit down. I'm looking at you and your hand is turning red. Turn the cameras off!"

OP here.

I think this was a solid season, and it was nice to see eight episodes instead of only six like last year. This year the focus definitely seemed to be on a mix of interesting people (making for better TV) and good businesses (making it so Marcus won't waste his time).

Although coupling the show with Shark Tank reruns is helpful to attracting an audience, the fact that Marcus is so busy IRL will likely limit the ability to do more than 6-10 a year, which might hurt viewership/interest long term.

I'm also curious how the businesses will fare one, two, ore even more years out. We saw that they did an update on Cash Cars in one of this season's episodes, but unlike Shark Tank they don't do check-ups each episode. I guess it's more like Kitchen Nightmares in that maybe once each season they'd do a "check back" on a previously featured company.

Hey guys the op is here

Too bad Marcus can't run for US President.

He actually does have a degree in poli sci

I saw the adds for this just prior to Season 2 and watched them all. Thought it was a really good show and hope Season 3 starts up soon.

La dogworks worst owner ever

Bump for new season, which started last week. Probably 8 episodes again. Oh, and if you're looking to watch old episodes, my cable provider has everything from the past two seasons on demand for now.

First ep was solid, with seemingly less contrived "RHWO-type" drama as last season. I wonder if the show will be noticed more now that it has Shark Tank reruns as a lead in? Hopefully yes, as it remains a nice combo of Shark Tank and rescue shows like Kitchen Nightmares or Hotel Impossible.

first ep was very emotional. marcus even cried

thought last nights ep, athletic stitching / queens vibe, was the nut low in show history. was that guys marcus' nephew or something? why do that loser all the favors?

Can't say I enjoyed the first episode. It focused more on family drama then the buisiness. I want to know how he turns the business around not what everyone's feelings are.

With that said I'm sure the average TV viewer loved it.

I wish this series was a little more longform versus one hour episodes, they always seem to end so abruptly. There are enough quick fix shows out there like bar rescue and kitchen nightmares. Would be interesting to see Marcus really dive into a company for 3-4 weeks.

Fyi...for people who like this show, the newest season of Apprentice is running in UK right now. Show is pretty damn great. Some drama but lots of business. Worth checking out past seasons.

Finally caught up and watched the episode, and I respectfully disagree. To me it was representative of real life in that once you look beneath the surface things appear that make you question whether the deal is worthwhile. In this case he "did all the favors" because there's a proven revenue model in place despite a sales force that essentially did nothing. And repurposing some of the basketball court is a no brainer and will give them something for almost nothing. Plus, the five year building purchase option is gold, so as long as that's preserved there's room for imperfection along the way.

Any word on whether this is another 8 episode season? That seems to be the max for CNBC shows and probably is all we can hope for given demands on Marcus' real life time, but I'd really like to see 10.

Fish guys daughter is hot

larissa confirmed super hot

lolllllllll two fires at two different locations, didn't know how either one started. jlawyeahok.gif

then come to find out he also had his boat destroyed in the hurricane, another big insurance payout.

guy is a complete scumbag. i hope his father didn't live long enough to see him wreak the business and suck it bone dry.

and then you have marcus pretty much trying to take advantage of the fish dude (and the embroidery dude last week) via real estate transactions, where he would essentially be freerolling. gotta love that both were pulling the ol double fake out and one didn't have a CO and the other was being foreclosed. show has been pretty terrible the past two episodes, except perhaps as life lessons in terrible small businesses & people trying to take advantage of you.

Larissa Swanson needs to be famous. IF those are her real parents, there's now way she isn't really crazy too, right? Maybe she just acted totally normal and extremely hot for an hour?

I just started watching, I'm at the second episode with the fleuriste guy in SoCal. Unreal of how people lack common sense. I'm a little disappointed about how the show focuses a little bit too much on the people and drama side of things (oh no she is being demoted!) and not enough on the technical side of things (what indicators he uses to judge how optimal a process is and what not).

Holy ****, just finished episode 2. Hank is such a wuss, no way Marcus gives money like that on a handshake tho, there must be a pre screening process and a few lawyers making sure everything goes smoothly.
