I really thought this was way too far out for network television

They said specifically we've got to do something different to pull the audiences away from merge

They came to Ron and Michael and they came to other other other producers you know that were big at the time and they said do something different to put us on the map and that's that's exactly how it started. It was it was you talk about businesses that are disruptive now this was a disruptive network

It's a good read. I think people are gonna like it.
