I did an eight-episode show for Travel Channel a long time ago.

I was paired with a production company called 0.0 Production to do this show.

The show tanked, but out of it, the guys I was working with, and 0.0 most famously worked with Anthony Bourdain.

They produced Bourdain's different shows over the years.

So I was working with that same crew of guys that worked on that show.

And they had all, in doing our stuff, they'd kind of fall in love with hunting.

And so we decided, well, let's just do our own thing that we own.

We'll do our own show.

It'll be like very simple stripped down show about going out on hunting and fishing adventures.

And so I had a little teeny kid at the time.

My boy, who was 15, was a baby, and I would read him mostly books about animals.

And I always liked, you'd be reading about a T-Rex or a polar bear or whatever, and it'd be like, this meat eater, this ferocious meat eater, right?

Just like a thing.

And I was like, I just called it that.

And it wasn't meant as like advice.

It wasn't meant as dietary advice.

I was like referring to like these species that that's what they eat.

So we started doing the show and we owned it.

We only licensed it out.

So we maintain the IP of it, right?
