- A promising and profitable seaweed business initially raised interest in The Den, but things quickly went downhill for Fiona Houston as she failed to accept criticism and got defensive with the Dragons. Fiona and Rory have lost all but one Dragon, can they start over and leave their mess with a reasonable deal?
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

ok
Can you please get Rory back on the show please
I love Rory!!! He’s got the best job in the world❤️🔥😌😍😍💕🌊
@@freelyricstousecfc❤89g bbf❤oklljll😊0😊
Rory didn't sign up for this. He just wanted to talk about Seaweed. Poor bloke.
you brits have an amazing sense of humor.
Excellent work. For some reason that was hilarious.
poor fucker is mortified
He’s got the best job in the world!!!!!
I bet Rory hates seaweed now 😂
"What is GROSS PROFIT?"
Rory: It's disgusting money
Haha that’s great
Mohammed?
Lol
The Red Guy hahahah best comment ever
😂
Rory saying "I've got the best job in the world, I get to gather seaweed" with absolutely ZERO irony or sarcasm is the best part of this video.🤣🤣
Definitely cringe worthy!
You've been badly advised.
I was looking for this comment 😅😅
That smug/almost emotional smile on his face afterwards was hilarious yet actually rather sad the poor guy lol
It's like a job interview answer haha, my dream is to gather seaweed!
Sara "I think there's something in seaweed, I eat a lot of it"
Rory..... immediately gets a semi
One of the most underrated comments in CZcams history
😭😭😭
Hahaha that made me howl 😂
Yeah...it's this big 4:02
Hahaha
"I've got the best job in the world. My role is to get seaweed for Fiona."
Well, he got 300k for his seaweed. He really does have a great job.
Isn't that the plot of Shrek?
Just as well he rehearsed that line properly...
"My job is to get to see Fiona..."
"Er....."
:-/
im locked n shocked
For 350,000 quid
Peter "what's your net profit?"
Rory "Net? I use a net. I use a net to catch seaweed. I love seaweed."
Peter ".........."
Rory "Sea.Weed."
Fish, I am out
50% sea 50% weed
No seaweed, no sales, no profit!
Lol
She get products under but she high
When Rory told Fiona in the lift that she'd been badly advised then turned his back on her it felt like I was watching the final scene in a bad TV drama.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, who could have advised her?
She was just left staring at the back of his head
9:27 the wide shot of all the dragons after Rory's exit speech followed by Peter's "...thanks Rory..." sends me everytime
Lmfaoooo I just watched it again after a few months and this is what stuck out to me too, the silence/stare of the dragons followed by peters thanks Rory is so good
The hair on Rory's nose works like a radar for seaweed. He dips his nose in the water and those little antennae pick up the vibration of the seaweed.
😂😂
I died laughing
Omg dude I literally choked lol
I almost reported this comment for choking me to death.
Metal 😂😂
The guy doesn't really have a belly, he's just storing his most prized seaweed safely underneath his shirt.
Gorguruga 😂
LOL
That is some funny shit
😆😆😆😆 I broke a rib laughing so hard on that comment!
LOL
Debra: I’m out
Rory: *slides over a piece of seaweed* Maybe this will change your mind…
Rory after leaving the den: "We go get seaweed now?"
Her face the whole time was like: ツ
Like a silly little school girl!
Serena L it’s called the sociopathic smile. Look it up. Straight sociopath.
She believes 'superfood' means something...
Now.You.Don’t 😂
Hahahahah
This man really just came in here and told everyone how to catch seaweed
Bruh
Lmao 😂😂😂😂
Straight saVage
You troll for it...
So this comments section should obviate the need for those Scottish beaches.
And said it was the best job in the world lol
I do love when people come in with an insane valuation and Peter Jones immediately asks about it, because you can tell from his voice that he knows it's baseless. He's just playing with his food.
Peter was so brutal in this one. I guess sometimes he gets bored and decides to wind up a pitcher before eviscerating them.
I think Rory felt particularly awkward being called a “Seaweed Hunter”, as he never got around to owning up to his slight exaggeration to her. It all started when she complained that Rory took too long to return with the first batch of Seaweed. He didn’t want her to be mad so he began down a path cluttered with a terrible web of lies. Since that very first time, there was no turning back; every day since, Rory has been leaving the office with night-vision goggles, a spear-gun and some re-useable Sainsbury’s bags to put the seaweed in.
This is the best comment so far 😂😂
😂
That explains the high cost of goods
I would get over to Bally Bunion in ROI where they have a seaweed bathing site on the beach. You could just buy the seaweed used for a couple of baths for about 20 euro and have a years supply.
Omg this thread is full of amazing comments but I spat my water everywhere after reading yours 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
To all the people making Rory jokes, he’s the one getting all the money because cost of goods is nearly 75% more than turnover. That guys a genius.
and making it from something that occurs naturally and he gets other people to collect . He is no idiot , but played the ' simple man ' routine really well which made him look like a nice guy at the side of Fiona .
Scooby1 whilst slipping in the line “no seaweed, no sales, no profit... ^*thinks*^ for me”
and at the end he says "You've been badly advised" lmaooooo
He probably told her to reject the offer, so he could keep ripping her off lol.
Are you all sure Rory is the culprit?
Net profit??? We don't use nets to collect seaweed.
Lol
Good one
He said he did though... "We Cast a wide net"
good one
hahahahaha
You can sing “I’m just a humble seaweed harvester” to the tune of I've Got a Brand New Combine Harvester.
Thanks I just did 😂
This has to be the best comment section of all Dragon's Den videos.
Got to be the comments when Jenny is in videos lol
@@coolperson6883 'And for that reason I'm oot'
right?
Most definitely. I make pilgrimage to this video and the comments section after some time to relax and sea weed. 🤣
Peter:”What’s net profit?” Rory:”SEAWEED”
Seaweed minus the word sea= lots of weed!
Heheeee
😂😂😂😂😂
50% SEA 50% WEED
@@ORIGINAL786dodi ill invest lol
I think she pissed them all off immediately when she said 3% 🤦
I don't know why any prospect proposes 3% to the Dragon's 😮🙈🙈🙈🙈
Exactly I immediately cringed
Yep
My jaw dropped when she said 3%. How does anyone not coming into the Den not realise that valuing their company at 3.3 million quid is going to be fatal? Nick Jenkins' shocked look said it all.
Why do you think that then Caroline you massive whopper
More than the show, I loved reading the comments. Poor Rory.
Rory is love, Rory is life
Seaweed good very good
Rory the man the myth the legend
They were here to Sea-Kelp with their company
Rory was probably thinking of nothing but seaweed throughout the whole pitch.
I mean...you’d hope so 😂
Lol 😂
Oh ffffk 😂😂😂the "seaweed hunter"
lol
😂😂
“I’ve got the best job in the world, I collect seaweed for Fiona”
And cast my nets wide... (I bet he does)
He's selling it to her for 365k...of course it's a good job
@@KingK339 hahahahahahha
I did laugh at that
What a moron
the way Rory tells her she's been badly advised then turns his back on her 🤣
He deserves money for that one.
The way she stares at him
Ice cold!
@@davidquality1903 😆😆 Iceman Rory LMAO
Rory has hunted some of the most dangerous and elusive seaweed in the world, few men have lived to tell the tales he has
The mouth is smiling, but the eyes are saying "KILL".
🤣🤣🤣
@WayneMorris you mean kill again
That look she gave to Rory in the elevator.....he hasn't gone missing has he?
Pat Phelan from coronation street is beside her and has killed a few!
6:57 that Grinch look :D
Rory went home and drank Stella. Then told Fiona what he really thinks of her. After that he immediately got his map out and targeted the best spots for seaweed.
Drank Stella, then wee'd in the sea.
I’m dying from laughter bruh
Hahhhaahaha amazing comment. Genuine laughter 🤣🤣🤣
He looks more like a special brew man
😂 😂 😂 😂
Peter: ‘Net profit…’
Rory: ‘Net? I have a net. The profit would be lots of seaweed.’
Peter: ‘No, Rory. Net profit.’
Debora: ‘Peter has been very patient. If you said that to me …’
Rory: ‘I’m patient too. I catch seaweed at high tide.’
Peter: ‘How have you raised £300,000.’
Rory: ‘I usually just lift the net up and raise it that way.’
All dragons: ‘I’m out.’
Rory: ‘Trout.’
Trout 😂😂😂
Ffs 😂😂😂😂
@@anniesauras_rex glad you appreciate Rory’s life 😊😅
3:50 salt shaker music for tension. Killer move
😂😂😂
😂😂
Don't give away our secrets😂
No Seaweed, No Sales, No Profit..Thank you very much - Rory 2019
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol - It's almost like a thinly veiled threat to Fiona. You better cough up ho or no seaweed, no sales, no profit.
😂😂
Why did he even say that ? It comes across as a rather negative statement
"no seaweed, no sales, no profit"
Sounds like a good business.
sounds like a good business NOT lol
🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
To be fair you can do that for basically any business on earth
@@superglen5488 i know
It's so cute how he says that in the pitch of all places. Like yeah it's technically true but you're meant to be selling your idea to them not making them doubt you lmao
It's yet another pitch where you find yourself asking, "Have these people ever watched Dragon's Den before going on it? How can they not be ready to answer the questions it's obvious the Dragons will ask?!"
must have caught a canadian episode where someone hocking horoscopes got everything they asked for
Where's Rory now? We need to find him and make sure he's ok. He deserves better than this.
You happy CZcams? You’ve been recommending me this for 7 weeks
TheHumbleDon this was posted like a week ago
Yellow Candy hyperbole
Yellow Candy man got caught out😂😂
Yellow Candy 🤣🤦♂️
What a dipshit
"My company is worth millions because I say so" - every person who shows up on this show
It's funny, cause her company is now work approx £70m
JJ no it’s just a little over 500k
So many financial experts in one little thread! Amazing!
Its actually 0.
@@Wally-H oof
we made 200k but it cost us 350k to make that.
The fact she wasn't thrown out the moment that came out of her mouth is a testament to patience.
And that's just for the seeweed
They went their separate ways after the show.
*Fiona* - The lonely beaches of Scotland.
*Rory* - Whetherspoons.
*_“Money is just land seaweed”_*
_- Rory_
Landweed
died
Erotic tomato:... yeah, but when you've got a bob or two... it sure as bloody hell takes the sting out of bein skint!!!
🤣🤣🤣
😂
"No seaweed, no sales, no profit." What was that supposed to make us feel?
It sounds dodgy...does he just go to the beach and harvest public seaweed? Surely that screws with the ecosystem
Free ad for their company, maybe?
Sean it's make it sound like he's trying to say half the time there isn't any seaweed so they don't make any money, good pitch
paul smudge That’s what I was thinking too
At least he clarified that it is the cold, lonely beaches of not only east but also west Scotland
4:17 peters face after Deborah says how patient he’s been 😅
I love the implication that seaweed is evasive.
Bless Rory, he just wants to leave the room to collect seaweed
🤣
I really don’t believe that for a second. What are your sources and reasoning for this statement?
ShowbizSoph his comment saying his favourite thing is collecting seaweed 😂
He is a fucking chancer.. couple of goons
😂😂
When Debra was born, she looked straight up at her mother and spoke these words “and for that reason I’m out”. It was a miracle.
Lol.
LOL
In this instance I don't blame her.
You mean Jenny?
She wasn't born, she was patented !
You can tell the moment she doesn’t know what the gross profit actually is, she got so defensive
I think a lot of people commenting don't realise that you actually have to slay seaweed before harvesting. A humble seaweed hunter will track a target for days before closing in to battle in hand to hand combat in a barechested duel to the death.
I feel sorry for Rory, he doesnt know about all this business talk, he’s just a poor seaweed hunter!
I get a strong feeling that's not all he was, especially his comment at the end
Mass Debater eat someones shitty toilet paper
SmoothSoulLover i reckon he’s doing her up the butt
@@yungnoodlearm I wouldn't argue with that one bahaha
And a negative one at that
Her:
"So over to you Rory"
Rory:
"I love seaweed.......and her but, mostly seaweed
Ha Ha, You Got Me There :)
Stymy ypog
Rory's milking her dry
@@Thelostgoldhunters Yeah either that or he must have the most expensive seaweed harvesting system there is....perhaps he uses a chartered cargo seaplane with a net, captained by Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger?
Getting defensive is pretty normal given a fight or flight response.
Unfortunately, if she'd have gone in more prepared, she wouldn't have been triggered in to feeling that way. That's the secret.
“The cold, lonely, clean beaches of west and east Scotland” lmao those are some strange adjectives to describe a beach.
"Hi, my name is Peter Jones, what's your name?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHAT'S MY NAME'?"
😆
What do you mean what's my age
ARE U ASSUMING MY GENDARRRRR
😂😃😂😃😂😅
My name is minus my overheads no sorry plus national insurance number
"Are you coming here for a fight" that escalated quickly for me, the woman is clueless not aggressive
i think the editing is off on this. she really wasn't rude, just flustered.
must be the editing, this video should be reuploaded
I just feel like Deborah is always looking for some bullshit reason NOT to invest. Never seen her invest in anything. And most of the time is the first one out.
That bitch’s coochie walls are lined with sandpaper
idk i sort of got the vibe (woke alert) that she wanted to force an investment
The comments section is fkn fantastic I hope Rory sees this and writes a book
Touker absolutely nailed this. “Fiona - Rory: HOW ARE YOU?” 🤣🤣
I can imagine Rory in the car ride home....
"Every f***ing time!!!!!!"
😆
😀😀😀
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
thank you for that... I had a laugh out loud moment :-)
Full on belly laughed at this. Thank you 😊
Soon after, Rory resigned and got out of the seaweed business. He is now a dandelion gatherer.
😂
I'm in.
😊😊😊
lol. When I was a kid, my dad would pay me 5 cents for every dandelion I picked on our lawn.
@@rhysknight8681 💪
Rory had it tough during the 70s seaweed wars.
Her whole attitude boiled down to, "How dare you question me."
I can see the desire in her eyes to shake her fist and call him every name under the Sun.
When Sarah said she liked seaweed
Rory: 😍
Hamdy1 hahaha😹😹
🍆
Rory had dollar signs in his mind
“We’re offering 3% for 100k”
“I’ll give you 100k for 50%”
“That’s a very generous offer.”
🤣🤣🤣
he didn't offer 100k , he said he'd put as much money as needed.
@@arzog6446 “I’ll give you all the money” meaning he’ll give full asking amount. lol c’mon buddy not hard
@@BigWoppenheimer not native. It just sounded like "all the money needed" but yeah ok tnks for the help.
@@arzog6446 all good bro I got you 🙏
They're operating at a loss so that's not unreasonable
no matter how many times i watch this, i can’t stop getting embarrassed and it’s not even me making the pitch.
I love the “faux confusion” that both Peter & Deborah do (inc Deborah’s confused head turn at 2:06) when it comes to numbers underpinning inflated valuations.
Rory goes looking for seaweed just to get out of the house.
😂😂😂😂👌
Funny get 😂😂😂got to admit we are hard work 😂😂
🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤦
Bloody hell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They are not married🤗
Fiona. Net profit zero
Rory. Net profit 350k 🤔
“I’ve got the best job in the world” 👌🏻
Actually -150k not zero.
E'raan Lue 😂😂 so true, albeit loss not profit.
E'raan Lue i.e. net profit.....zero 🤦♂️
Ryan Morgan just so you know it was humour....Unless Rory’s team of gatherers work for nothing...
P.S. The Scottish coastline is littered with rocks, trawlers don’t harvest seaweed....or trawl over rocky ground, it’s gathered at the shoreline at low water by hand. Cost of which is wages only.
Peter's initial covert sarcasm was delightful!!
:Casts a wide net
:has harvesters
:No seaweed, no sales, no profit
:Humble seaweed harvester
:Invaluable lesson learned
"As a humble seaweed hunter I-" Sorry I couldnt help but burst out laughing.
im a professional seaweed hunter yall 😗✌️
"Your seaweed, he be a cunning beast.."
NPC LMAO
She came for free marketing
Noble calling, seaweed Hunter. Nothing to be ashamed of. Scavenger, forager, Hunter. Why stop at Hunter? Seaweed Master... now there’s a title. But I would prefer Seaweed Lord.
I didn't realise how entertaining this programme is.
Oh it's very entertaining😄😄😄😄😄
Very underrated show
The English are the king of awkward
for real, I've been watching these all day from a random recommendation on the sidebar!
far better than shark tank
Debra sounded likePeter’s mum for a moment there. Peter was not extremely patient, he was the one who started the fight. Peter must’ve felt like that kid that just picked on everyone and had his mum come to his defence.
ya
I think he was patient actually
He started a fight by asking very basic questions about the business that anyone who runs a business should know?
This is one of those times when Peter held his temper in a tremendous chokehold and was actually being very POLITE.
Fiona: I turn $350k into $200k.
Touca: I want 50% of that.
tbf though he would have gone in and sorted them out and turned it into profit which he would have got his money back rather quickly at 50%
Isn't that just initial costs? I'm so confused as to why Peter got angry so quickly. She immediately made it clear that they were at a loss at the moment
@@DeadlyBlade21 you should NEVER have a gross loss lol. Otherwise you may as well call it a day. You're paying to work/earn. Doesn't make sense.
@@DeadlyBlade21 And dont forgetm this is just a part of the pitching. I guess there was more mistake off screen that made Peter (and deborah) upset
@@rockhardsolid3394 my bad lol. I'm as dumb as her. I thought gross profit was the same as net profit. So I was confused as to why someone would be annoyed at a net loss so early on.
The man. The myth. The legend. When we are out here dragging our bored bodies to dusty offices and dim factories, Rory is out there living the dream hunting seaweed. We can only hope to rise to the height of his ankles.
Hahaha
Well, wouldn't you prefer the company of seaweed to that of the dead-eyed Fiona, too? Even talking to the limpets would be preferable to returning to base!
Honestly that sounds pretty relaxing. I could do that.
6:55
👍🤣
I come to this comment section once a day to remind myself how much of a legend Rory is.
Me too dude. Rory is a ledge.
Seaweed is the best
"forgotten superfood" how is it forgotten if it's used and enjoyed daily in many countries already? miss columbus over here
I love how the narrator makes it seem like a nature documentary
😅😅😅👌🏾💯
- I’m gonna sneak up behind that seaweed....Look at it, it’s just beautiful....
@@Mumummymom
With Rory's success in seaweed hunting a small industry has emerged, claiming that their "natural" seaweed with its large range to roam in has a much better texture than what is normally raised in large tanks in a high stress environment.
With this we leave behind the coasts of Scotland and head off to India to observe a close cousin of the seaweed in its natural habitat : landweed, otherwise known as Marijuana.
as a humble seaweed harvester this has been an invaluable lesson for me so thank you very much
thanks rory
How can you not love that man
What he really meant was ' why did I let this woman talk me into going on national TV and get humiliated ? ' , although in fairness not humiliated as much as Fiona was . Rory looked like he wished the ground had swallowed him up from very early on and despite him saying what a strong woman Fiona was his body language in the lift afterwards spoke volumes . I bet they had a right shouting match once the cameras were off .
You are swiss yes?
@@scooby1992 I doubt it. Any word out of Rory and fiona's whip and leather comes out, just like that
Somewhere in the world, a tumbleweed just lost its job for not turning up for its shift.
After this episode, that woman had nightmares about gross profits for many months.
"I'm a Humble Seaweed Harvester. I have harvesters scouring the cold, lonely beaches of Scotland" Wait, so you're not some romantic wildman, but a Gangboss.
Rory: "I have the best job in the world"
10min later
"I have the worst job in the world"
😂
Rofl!
🤣🤣🤣👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol!!😂😂😂
"As a humble seaweed harvester" is the most important sentence I've ever heard.
I thought I recognised that guy. I was out getting sushi on a date once when he crashed through the window and snatched it right off my plate screaming "I've got the best job in the worlddddddddd"
I'm super surprised they didn't even try to negotiate with tuka. Rorys response in the lift was hilarious "you've been badly advised"
I dont think she's being defensive. She just doesnt know business basics.
Gross profit for god sake.
t .byrne she acted like she knew then tried to have have a valuation of 3 mill. 350 k and sold 200 k that’s kind of shows she has no idea of business lol
At first I didn’t know what it was either because in the US we call it disgusting profit.
She clearly acts very offended at every question that is asked.
So yeah, she is being defensive.
"What do you mean how did I raise 350k"
"Of course I know what gross profit is"
@@Fif0l But by definition, being defensive isn't being aggressive - it's defending yourself from a perceived attack.
@@rachaelstanley7986 so, you agree she's being defensive?
Rory has been ripping her off,no wonder he kept stum.
Three hundred and fifty grand to source seaweed......seems legit........
Marc Law exactly lol 😂 she’s not seeing it that the worst part - Rory is dodgy no wonder he loves he’s job
Depends. For example, she may have spent £350,000 on the seaweed but £250,000 of that seaweed could be unsold (i.e. stock). I am afraid she didn't know her financials.
He probably told her to reject the offer, so he could keep ripping her off lol.
Yeah then he says right at the end "you've been given bad advice" and she just looks at him in astonishment as the penny drops lol
Based on her figures Rory should’ve said:
“I’ve got the best job in the world. Seaweed , Sales , No Profit”
This has quickly become one of my favorite shows to watch on CZcams
Rory got proper excited when they were talking about net profit like “oooooh I use a net!”
😂 😂 😂
😂
😂
😂😂 This was an absolute savage of a comment mate!
@@peeder1417 thanks looking ppp
Rory starts fights with supermarket cashiers when they don't accept seaweed as legal tender.
What??
🤣😂😂👍👍👍👌👌👏👏
With a Scotsman behind him ready to take his chance.
I had a good laugh
Lol what😂
All jokes aside, what was Rory's purpose being in the den? He didn't do anything. It's not like anyone who has any food product is like 'here is the chef who makes it'.
She wasn’t that defensive. Peter lynched her
Rory: "Should take the 50% offer, have you any idea how much seaweed you could buy for 100 grand?"
Nailed it
“You were badly advised…”
Rory then quietly slips a strand of seaweed out of his pocket and strangles her while he whispers “I’m so sorry darling”…
😂 The darling is so British.
😆😄😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mate this had me creasing 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"What's the net profit?"
Rory "Ah that'll be the seaweed.
Mara Seaweed went into administration in June 2023 and was purchased by Seaweed Enterprises for £60,000. They had debts of about £1.1m (including £200,000 owed to this woman), which went completely unpaid. The sale price only covered a fraction of the cost of the administration, leaving nothing for anyone else. The employees were transferred to Seaweed Enterprises who also paid their unpaid wages of £8,000 in addition to the £60,000.
"I've got the best job in the world"
"my role is to get seaweed for fiona"
If it was his business, he would have probably got the investment.
Easily one of my favourite comments on youtube

Exactly! Soon as she said that i rolled my eyes! She hasnt gotba clue what she's doing.

Yeahh my eyebrows shot up
Well tbf if she asked for £1 for 99% of the business they'd offer 20p for 100%. That said her business is a moneypit imo.
