" Sunday night. 930 on fox after family guy it's called on to -- follow Bobby fairly how aria. I guys get a -- doing great thanks. And what's what's the deal with the you bail on the move reasonable the small screen. Well we're kind of kicked out of will be world nick and I get twenty bucks down on Julio Lugo and I -- basketball games."

" If you if you like money I would bet on who I was -- at -- at the Oscar we all sat around together down in Florida and -- Oscar party. And I didn't see you in the crowd."

" Once again we were not plated. I wasn't either I wasn't in the product without no later that week up but I came home to watch -- at all and I you know what that is barely watched it. I didn't like a lot of movies this year."

" Yes I I made the point that the Coen brothers on their best day can't hold the -- of the Farrelly brothers I mean they. They are what the Farrelly brothers would be if you guys a lot of paint chips -- children."

" get a lot of patriot you before and -- you'd you'd like no country Goldman. You know what my cup but he added like hey guys its you know and ended funny and not. At all I was limited I didn't I didn't get it so maybe I don't make -- area not smart and apple -- over my head."

" And the bad guy wins for best supporting actor with this monotone one level who duels I mean there was nothing to that performance."

" Well you know I guess I don't know -- I thought the same thing that's that is it was -- like -- Robert Eric that we just couldn't tell nobody kept common it was more about. Or horrible lead in any."

" Did the -- that the supporting actors in the ringer were much better -- it much more range those guys great."

" They work great. I appreciate it they have that we as a great support -- in the."

" You don't get enough credit for that because I thought it was ground breaking I mean it you did any movie ever cast special needs. Adults in such big roles and did anyone ever pull that off like those guys did."

" I don't know I don't think double we don't do look for credit you know we don't get credit for stop and that's why we do it for -- A did you see there will be blood you know what I didn't eat out sorry at -- at 230 minutes in the that the analysts that the what do you read about about -- matter now."

" I liked it better than than no country another Daniel day Lewis was just remarkable and in just an evil. Very very bad guy and I I can understand why he won for best actor but that had a weird ending as well they just took two -- and thirty minutes to get to the weird --"

" about the they beat the people critique movies or not but they've they've been like over that have a lot of violence that it and then when you do. Independent you know as comic they they just -- threat but they love violent -- I don't really know at a couple."

" We'll tell -- are you well how you got hitched up with this I'm hits project."

" Yeah a couple of local guys Chris Pappas might bring a really good writers that we know out now lake it was with this idea for TV show and we are like I'm -- we want to united deeply. -- they showed -- the script they had read and it was it was very very funny that we. We have we can't bump or with them and we -- develop that we got real lucky with the cat it was not a great -- put together. Receded Jones you know she is the gap right. And -- reactors all of whom are a little bit under the radar but they're all very funny so we've got a real big cat and and we put together -- outfox -- you know it definitely our style humor and it's pretty good about."

" And and and hit refers to somebody suddenly single."

" When he had the third all three guys are middle age that are not find themselves. Unceremoniously the war's been back in the game and all the rules of change you know kind of across the league probably the Andy Griffith Show and a video girls gone wild."

" With a little bit of he knows life in them to sit -- today."

" It is not too far removed a lot of people you know yeah."

" I see the Hollywood reporter calls it signed filled with the shot of tequila."

" Tell about a mind that yes."

" Raunchy version of friends."

" It's the united it's definitely you know it's -- it's got a little. Little -- still it but you know it's like. There's comedy sitcoms out there on TV right now Becker's only appeal and -- all the good shows on TV in my opinion on the cable networks. And so it's it's hard to do it on that one of the major network because you're really restrict what you can do it a lot of comedy is already you know recovery -- over the years so -- sort of have to push the envelope reports that we are far from right after the family had. They they did allow -- to go for it and you know and we certainly took advantage of."

" I was a basket as fox if you just a little bit more leeway than NBC or ABC or CBS would Bob."

" No question yeah yeah well -- it would Foxx first came out they you know as good as a whole network they. They -- all the these networks would do what felt like the the Cosby Show and all that they came out with -- married with children which was like just. Completely subversive it was a against everything that all the other shows with the -- and it was a funny show. And value out I think that's that's been their mentality the whole way is that. Is that they they kind of want to be a little bit they want to be somewhere between their regular networks and and cable."

" And have there been many occurrences were fox came in and said the standards and practices that none and in the note you. You you can go here but you can't go there."

" You know leave the ones that we are about what TV and it was it was really want to read or electrocuted what is there are a lot of people involved a lot of people look at -- and -- demand and they all have -- and they play -- exit. And the tendency is. To try to make everything a little bit more and Allah then then -- then we we do it and so. But we fight a lot that's -- you know that led -- the beauty of have a a brother came is that there's two of us and and with between you know in Pappas and -- it would we stand up on so you know we didn't want to look at it going to be like every other Chela. They kind of relented we wore down."

" Now you UN Peter our executive producers I assume you're not directing these these these episodes are."

" Well -- the first show is not Sunday night this weekend that we did direct that episode and that we will probably direct you know every baby. For the fifth episode as a as our plans."

" It's tough life and and and how is that different than directing films Bobby -- is no different."

" If it's it's a lot the same of course the only have. You only have about five days to shoot an episode so it's what they call one camera shell not one of those ones lowers you improbable live audience there there there watch a we you know we -- on. Location somewhere and and shoot it edited together much like we do a movie but you gotta go back as he you know ultimately to become an -- an episode -- week so. You got to -- back."

" You stick in all your friends in this in this -- fox do that mean. Mike's room movies and honestly tell Julie while."

" You know it's -- so -- demands that they beat guys show up as the Holyfield bet so we rolled it yet they're all it's all the same think that the characters we get days in the opening episode actually in the opening episode you know we have a little bit. We go to that's a Celtics game that Paul Pierce has -- it doesn't nice job. And that but we have Johnny Knoxville zawahri you know partly."

" And this is Paul Pierce is in Sunday night's episode at -- Now speaking part so obvious -- we see a lot of Boston throughout the program Bob."

" While on the opening episode you definitely do regret to -- this game and all I wish it's that -- you know out of there where we're a little afraid to have it. The rest of the country's power and -- little -- it's about. You know. You know it has brought up the box and all that -- it has set -- but. We're trying to makes make you feel like you to watch it even if you live in --"

" They did the writers' strike impact what you guys are trying to do how many -- did the camp."

" We have 66 episodes in the can and actually you know what I've been worked out pretty well -- that it was always going to be a mid season replacement show so that we had chat we are able to shoot six episode we'll open it should be a few more but we shot six before the the strike at. So right now plate where where one of the few shows -- have -- a brand new shows come and out I think it kind of worked out Laporte."

" So well how does the thumbs up thumbs down work in terms of timing and the network in the and response in the ratings and we you we have an idea after the ratings come out of the first program to -- six play when you get picked up when is the stand when -- it sunk."

" I think TVs and they've they've picked it does is as pretty -- with while the family that was a great show I you guys watch we're lucky there. What they're going to do is. They're going to -- how many people. Stayed to watch you know and and not have the results right away and it's. If I guess have too many people you know he switched channels are returned the TV off it would be good for us -- a lot of people watch family guy. They have one position though that would be good so it's it's a numbers game TV."

" you make any movies these days Bob."

" Yeah yeah we we will let you know we'd better work on the TV show up are straight on that to make sure it's not running well but we're. At the end of the writers like we're back in the in the writing world right now my brother beat or it will work he's -- probably be felt and again by the by the."

" Analysts one of us me I just loved -- plots than in the first time you told us about the ringer and a guy who pretends he's. Special needs we could win the special olympics we laughed and and sent them serious -- and."

" While we're working on now is called hall pass that was about a the bad guy who. Has been merit for quite awhile and his wife -- decide you know what he's -- he gives them a week off from marriage. We got a week ago so is note that. Comedy and do."

" All that's what -- work why some I think dean has to be in the."

" You know -- thought our project -- able. Basically loosely based the you know."

" all right Sunday 930 on walks after Penn -- guys do not enough the televisions at 930 -- on for honest right. Buddy it's not -- good luck we'll talk it down the road thank you let me fairly with them and now"
