Episode Transcript: #637 - Remi Warren

Okay, we're live. Remy Warren. How are you, fella? Pretty good. How's it going? I watched the show last night. Oh, did you? Good. Yeah, and I watched it again today. The show's called Apex Predator. It's on Thursday nights on the Sportsman's Channel. Yep, 8 p.m.

And this is a show that last time you came in with Dan Doty, we kind of talked about it off the record, right? We couldn't talk about it yet. Yeah, it was kind of like in the wind there. We didn't have a network for it yet. We filmed the pilot episode, and now it's a real deal now. Yeah, now it's actually on television. Yeah, it's a real show. It's cool when stuff like that happens, right? Yeah, it is. You plan it out, you work, and it actually comes together, and you have a real television show. Yeah, it's pretty exciting.

So I've been pretty pumped about it, because this is something that I've been thinking about for years, and then we came in, what was it?

It's quite a while ago. Over a year ago. Something like that, yeah. And now it's finally come to fruition, and people can look at what I've been talking about for the last couple of years.

It takes a long time to make something fucking happen, man. It's this hurry up and wait game.

Yeah. My buddy was in the Army, and he's like, yeah, war is just hurry up and wait. And I was like, that's television.

It's this way of the last couple of years. It's this way of the last couple of years.

And we're crawling up to these buffalo, and it's kind of fascinating that they don't run necessarily from coyotes or wolves that just sort of walk towards them.

The only time the coyotes or the wolves would actually attack them is if they were running, that that's when they would move in on them.

Yeah, exactly. Because the way wolves hunt is they have to get the animals running first.

And tomorrow night's episode, we really see that when we look at the way wolves hunt.

But the reason that the wolf has to get the buffalo running is the wolf's essentially outclassed by the bison.

It's so much larger. So if the bison's to say, we're going to stand here and fight, then it can kill the wolf.

And it's the cost-benefit analysis for the wolf to attack that bison while it's standing there isn't great enough.

So the wolves will actually get around the bison and try to instigate them to run.

Because if the bison makes the mistake of running, then they can hunt as a pack.

They can wear it down once they get it moving.

And then they attack from the back, and they're safer, and they're more successful.

So the bison know this. So if they run, well, they're going to be in trouble.

But when a human hunter comes along, using primitive weapons or whatever,
