Dragon's Hysterical After Hearing Wendy's Market Research | Dragons' Den 

😂

Actually it’s incredibly generous. Willing to spend time helping her for free, not getting any return. Very nice of Hillary.

@@toniroberts8117 Agreed. Hilary's time, help and connections might end up being worth far more than 50 grand.

@@toniroberts8117 arguably a much better deal than Wendy could've hoped for.

tbf it's not like all her managers had a stroke with her

@@xxxxxPr0xxxxx ridiculous comment.

@@cun7us cope

@Rimadim dim Idk doctors, researchers assist to conventions all the time just for that matter. That's how things actually progress. For example let's say it's a dermatological convention you are a dermatologist and somehow found a treatment for X skin problem that normally persists finally is treated. Normally you would be like ''hey I did this and I need advice because I may be on something here maybe it's just a coincidence or maybe I found a better treatment for idk a very persistent eczema. So this woman is a physiologist and she believes she has something here that potentially can help, so why she didn't consult other professionals. Afraid of the idea being stolen? Well then what's the point if you can even sell your idea anyway.

@Rimadim dim the opinion of one specialist (her) does not mean the acceptance of all specialists. For example... my physio treated me for a torn trapezius. I saw another and his opinion was that my rhomboid was actually torn, that's why the previous treatment wasn't working. The first physio was wrong in her therapeutic treatment. That may be the opinion of other physios about this swing. Specialists converse and work together all of the time. You can't always take the advice and opinion of one.

Shane Hall I agree. People give her such a hard time in the comments but I like her.

That's because this kinda swing is common in strip clubs, it brings back memories of her early years...😆

@@Anna.T. Yeah, I always liked her as well.

She is an incredible inspiration and has an amazing rags-to-riches story. Her autobiography 'Bold As Brass' is a great read! :)

Absolutely a lovely person with a heart of gold.

...his timing was pretty good too!

that was hilarious

Beautiful rapport in the den.

I don't know what that's about and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

@@HSamee it’s not a very big island

I love Duncan

@@lottiepeters2347 Me too, he's yummy.

gaysy1st woah there buddy

@@skillissue445 🤣🤣🤣

There is something awesome about rich people laughing.

She's a sweetheart. :) She helped her son kick his heroin addiction.

That’s awesome

I like Hillary.. she definitely works those power shoulders 😬

@@socialmoon Ehh...all parents would. Nothing special about that.

@@RaprapDK No, all parents would not achieve that. Some because they don't care enough to attempt it, many because they get overwhelmed with the complexity and stress of it. It's certainly no small feat and if you think there is 'nothing special about that' you don't really understand the world nor the magnitude of such an achievement.

So polite

Yes everyone was very eloquent was actually pleasurable to watch.

Absolutely. I really like Hillary. She's very fair.

so you can refuse like a sir when that weird uncle at your sister's wedding propose a business idea to you about car wash

They would be very hard-hearted to do otherwise

I heard he has commercial space available

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a swing FFS?! What research does it need? That's like saying monkey bars need research... no they don't... if it makes you sweat it gives you a workout

500 quid for a swing? That you could make for nothing? Ok

@@allosaurusfragilis7782 A swing with a gearbox.

@@UndisclosedTalent to see if its benefitial to stroke victims. Did you see the video? Or if 'it breaks a sweat' might as well get the recovering people doing pull ups, no?

@@UndisclosedTalent lmao you think monkey bars aren't tested?

She was onto something, was willing to listen and took the banter on the chin. Top lass.

no dude - she was using her re-spirit-ray system.....even if she dies - she already in the afterlife apparently :)

😂

That's a bit unfair. It's a matter of semantics, what she clearly meant to say was that the swing would help develop her cardiovascular and respiratory system. If this is 'recorded as live 'she would not get the chance to correct herself.

@@DevonDandy learn what a sense of humour is dude

I wouldn't have found this comment amusing in any case, but especially in this context. Not a moment to be flippant.

Hilary is one of my favourites. Like James Khan and Richard Farleigh, she always tries to be constructive.

I WISH she'd said once enough in place she would invest

​@@medievalist Richard Farleigh was really great, always trying to find the good in each project but still really realistic and giving valid arguments

@@epargnepension2262 Yes, he was great. They should have kept him for longer.

2 years later... I see what you did there

Calm down, virtue-signaller

Me too, but I'd kick the tv over in my small lounge...

😂😂😂

@@neonwired4978 Life is one hell of a workout.

Goddamit i nearly choked reading that. Or as she would say, losing my respiratory system.

🤣🤣🤣

Morpheus Fishburn They’re just joking lol

THIS.

Yeah but every park has swings

@@SuperJohn12354 Not designed liker hers they don't and who wants to have to got to a park to do their exercise routine

@@SuperJohn12354 And how many people want to go to a children’s park, to exercise on their swings??

Exactly. That should have been Wendy's answer when Duncan asked about the target market.

That's why older people like to swim. At least in the Netherlands

did you survive?

@@lucasc5622 no, sadly I died three years ago. I’m writing from the 3rd corridor of the 6th dimension on a computer in the Kragnars library

@SouthernOregonOrgani Agree! But for different reasons. Spent a few months in a coma, and due to transfers between hospitals, received physical therapy that consisted of getting me to walk 30 feet with a walker. That's it. No matter that I did it on my toes, and had balance issues. I was released to do my own therapy. Getting onto my kids' swing set was a huge help, especially for balance. A swing with resistance would have been invaluable in developing core strength. Too bad this lady entered the den unprepared, it could have been a great product

The reason they do it is because several of them are in the fitness/spa sector. Most notably Duncan, but Debra also has a chain of leisure hotels. I've noticed with all the dargons that they often go out of their ways to pick holes in any products which threaten their existing business.

Not to mention gyms closed during lockdown (I know this video is old) but also accessibility of gyms for people who can’t/don’t drive or live in areas where they may not be a local gym or limited resources (where I grew up in a tiny country town the local ‘gym’ was a tin shed with some weights in it that the local footy players would use). Also, this kind of thing can be sold to gyms or particularly hospital rehab or physio centres

@@katelynoreilly6144 Exactly. My nearest gym is a car journey away, and if I didn't have a car I wouldn't want to walk/run/cycle there (especially if it's raining) If I had no car I'd do all my workouts at home.

There is a reason he is called Theo The Foetus

@@Fleeb-pb7zo Theo defeat us

I was thinking the exact same thing. I spat pit my tea

@@aecee5687 I have just seen this 😂

The "red Room" 🙊

😁

It only needs a few chains and some shackles and it's ready to be converted into a medieval dungeon device!!

nahm he just recognised it from one of eyes wide shut orgies and tought it was a sex swing

@@divineprovidence803 I was thinking the same thing, she may be missing her market.

would you spend 500 quid for it though?

You can make one yourself rather easily

I love it...Im sure it would sell really well.

What's wrong with rowing machines?

@@marvelsomething1952 injuries

Those townies' faces 🤭

She should have told them it was a seaweed farm. ‘No seaweed, no sales, no profit.’ - Rory

Tomorrow We Live i was thinking Colostomy bag

@@jd_27 not funny to joke about that.

Both of them.

😁😂👍

i mean you can have a stroke and still be a bad person. no one is commenting on how her hands move or anything they're commenting on how she always brings people down.

I admire her.

@@lifesarisk9086 I've never notice her cut someone down in flames !!! But she does know how to expose a bad business idea and doesn't hesitate saying it.

She also has a handicapped son

Let's be fair, farming can be a very tough bussiness. Here in Spain we have a sizeable industry of that sort and the farmers are constantly facing very tough competition and demanding conditions from the distributors and the retailers.

She is right though, farming is serious business. It's really tough to make money now so to survive in farming you have to be a real hustler that can turn their hand to lots of things. They're not bad skills to have as an entrepreneur

@@jorgejuantorresquiroga5441 *business 🤯✌

She sold TWO herds of cattle, to run TWO herds of cattle at her age is no mean feet. It seams the Dragons are only interested in going concerns, they hardly if ever invest in any business still at ground roots. She did off 40% to cover the start up.

...so I can milk consumers

🤣

A new line in spotted bathmats

I died

How does it help stroke victims? I'm genuinely confused by that.

It's fine, memes rule online but in the real world they get real powerhouse women on this show. Hillary Devey, Deborah Meaden, Sara Davies, Kelly Hoppen, etc. _(I was going to include Jenny Campbell but she wanted out)_

Uhm, have you seen the comments here in general? Seems most of them were written by toddlers. "I'm Jenny the Elephant and therefore I have a snout" gets you 200 likes...

@@namnack That was pretty funny. Take a like friend !

To be fair most of the commenters here are very young, so comments about her appearance are to be expected.

I've noticed a lot of ridiculous remarks about Hilary. It's annoying, as she is one of the most down-to-earth and likeable Dragons.

I fit was overly serious, it wouid not be so popular....

Yes it's a good old fashioned swing, but not enough emphasis was given to the fact that you can dial up the resistance to give a gradual increase to the workout. The gym isn't for everyone and I doubt that many stroke patients would feel comfortable in or indeed capable of going to the gym, particularly in their early stages of recovery. Many great inventions are born from a simple concept.

Nice!

Nice !

Is a roundabout a British merry-go-round?

@@CalLadyQED A roundabout is usually simple and powered by the people using it, but a merry-go-round is usually a fancy ride powered by electricity. Roundabouts are found in playparks; merry-go-rounds are found in fairs, carnivals and theme parks.

Yes ,Yes ! I used to use the Gym , pool and Boxercise in the West Wight Leisure centre . I also met Peters Auntie Joyce waiting for a number 7 outside Sainsburys Well she told me her name was Joyce ... it could be the same Lady ...lol

And yet you can still watch TV on a treadmill ...

Cant even put laundry on it

Can I have your treadmill then, I'd use the hell out of it.. Can't understand people spending a fortune on one and then not using it

I disagree. I think a swing would be used when all the other junk gadgets are gathering dust

Haha totally

More like Kim Jong-Un in every photo of him

But her 2 strapping lads at home are very much in to it.... haha

The sex toy market would probably be the best market for this.

Deborah is. Regularly having parties with car keys in a bowl.

Poor jenny, only been in like 2 seasons and shes being wrecked throughout every single dragons den episode.... no wonder she quit lolololol

Actually sounds like a line she would use!

Lol

Severius Brandusa 🚿 🧼 Tens times more hygienic than yours. Lol 😂

And six packs of cigarettes

@Severius Brandusa weirdo

I'd also buy this! Such a great idea for your home

Doh! 😄 At least they didn't go back and forth, and leave the offer hanging...

Sarah's number was the most sought after.

@@Hi-kq1vi Sarah who?

I hope his life becomes easier!

In all honesty if I had space for something like that in my flat I'd want it because it's fun exercise. It would be great for children too. I think there is a lot more potential for this than just the medical sector. That's not to knock the medical potential, just saying it could have a decent market in general as well. :)

Hopefully he'll pass away. Sounds like a right pain in the arse

Its one thing they themselves say their product is good, but it adds far more weight if others believe that too. This is why most come into the Den with pre-orders, actual orders or sales figures and not just a prototype. At the very least prove to them that there is a market there for the product by looking at competitors sales!

But sadly she has produced no evidence that it is safe to use, none that it actually benefits people & zero evidence that anybody is interested in buying them. Nice lady, but it is a crusade & not a business-her idea of market research is asking her friends & peers in the care industry & of course none of them are going to tell her they think it is a bad idea, or have any power to order them or endorse it clinically.
