00:00Ok, so Brendan and Jayden, you both run Lumberjacks, are they all hot sauces are they?
00:08No, so we do some sweet, some spicy.
00:10You know the one I'm holding here, the Backyard BBQ, it's like a Kansas style BBQ, nice and sweet, nice and sticky.
00:16Bit of pepper in there, I think it's something that all the family would enjoy.
00:19Great stuff. And we're here at Webbs & Widge Bowl, which is one of your outlets for your sauces.
00:23Yes, I'd go as far as saying it's our most local stockist.
00:26Oh fantastic, great stuff. And you were on Dragon's Den last night.
00:29It was.
00:30I've got to say it was probably one of the most emotional episodes I've seen.
00:34But the pitch was unreal, it was a fantastic pitch.
00:39Probably one of the best I've seen to be honest.
00:41And I think we can tell everybody now, you were successful.
00:44Yeah.
00:45Yeah?
00:46Yeah.
00:47It was quite, it was an emotional one wasn't it?
00:49Very emotional.
00:50Yeah, I bet it was.
00:51How was the day then, how did you get on during the day? You know, how was filming and everything?
00:56Yeah, it was really, really good. Really well looked after.
00:59Yeah.
01:00It was such a joy to film the episode.
01:02Yeah.
01:03And then we were very lucky that we could get to watch it with all the family and friends only yesterday.
01:07Yeah, yeah.
01:08And then happy days that we got a successful result out of it.
01:11Absolutely, absolutely. I mean it's crazy really because all the dragons were saying how fantastic you were and it was like, I thought they were all going to say yes at one point.
01:18Yeah, I think we definitely, we definitely got the dragons on to it fairly quickly.
01:23Yeah.
01:24And they seemed to really like our story.
01:26Absolutely.
01:27And what we was about really.
01:29Yeah, when they all started dropping, dropping out.
01:31Yeah.
01:32It was like, oh maybe, maybe this is our fate really.
01:36And then Emma swooped in at the last minute.
01:38That's right, yeah.
01:39Gave us the investment, bless her.
01:40So what's happened since?
01:42We've had a whirlwind since haven't we?
01:44Yeah.
01:45We've literally gone on to do everything the dragons advise really.
01:48So we've had a rebrand, so they don't look exactly how they did on the episode.
01:52Yeah, yeah.
01:53We've had a rebrand, we've outsourced manufacturing.
01:56Fantastic.
01:57Gained some stockists.
01:59Grew the team and all sorts.
02:01So it's on the up and up then?
02:02Yep, just trying to hit the ground running.
02:03Brilliant, fantastic.
02:04Well I look forward to seeing you guys in the future when you're multi-millionaire.
02:08Thank you very much.
02:09Okay, good luck anyway.
