so what can we talk about about this everybody because this is a podcast it's
not like people
are dipping in here yeah people know that the show uh is on so they uh hbo is
there hbo streaming
dot net org yeah i mean you go to like uh well no i mean amazon or hulu or uh
uh hbo go is the
thing hbo go that's what it is yeah it's great what would be best for you where
should they watch
it i whatever they want i don't okay i wasn't sure i don't care but i remember
when louis had
his show on fx it would be like you know can you please watch it so i get
credit for people like
watching the advertising because everybody would then they would record it and
then fast forward it
i don't know i know yeah they i mean to me it's just yeah just watch i hope you
watch the show hbo has
been amazing to work with the fact that we could go in and pitch this show to
them and we're pitching
a half hour comedy and the two movies i mentioned are taxi driver and unforgiven
you know and that's
yeah how do they how do they react to like you coming in and think okay it's
bill hater this is
going to be funny exactly and then you're coming yeah coming with this and they
go and to their credit
they were really excited about it it actually made them more excited did you
how many places you did
you pitch this show it was just hbo because i had to deal with them and so i
had this kind of
development deal with them and and i was shooting train wreck actually and the
whole time i was on train
wreck going what have you know what am i going to do i have this deal now with
hbo but i got to write
a show and so i met with alec berg and then we came up with this and then i
remember pitching it to
them and thinking well if they don't like it they don't like well this is what
i would rather want
do if i could do anything right this and um they the the fact that it they were
the ones going oh
you know i said you know the violence has to be very real it's not funny the
violence is not funny
at all when he fights people i like it to feel real i just don't i don't want
to be cool you know and uh
they are absurd yeah like weekend of bernie's jokes you know what i mean like
which you could easily do
in this you know there's a lot of times where you you know there's a scene in
episode three where i
you know have to strangle a guy and there's there's in his backyard there's all
these uh child's you
know kid toys and stuff and i remember alec berg and i were shooting that scene
and and i said you
know any other place they would be like hey can we make it funny can you kill
them with the kids
junk rope or you know can we get some jokes in there or you know what i mean
and it's like no
it's not i feel like the murder is gonna be too depressing yeah it's like it
should be no no no but
he should kill him he should still kill him but just funny you know and you're
like no but uh we
can't do that i've said this before in the podcast you know that's why i could
never really watch i
watched dexter because i liked the performances but i couldn't fully commit to
it because i could just
hear the industry note where it's like they went he's a serial killer and it's
just like well how can
we root for that and it's just all right he just kills the bad people he's a
serial killer with a
good heart and then i just was i just never was able well that's the hard thing
that's been the
nice thing with with barry at least is hbo you know when we would turn in the
drafts you know we
get to later in the season especially it starts to get uh very definitely is
not just killing the
good people you know bad you know bad people he's killing you know i gotta go
home i gotta see you
know it gets terrible and where he he he ends up going is is uh pretty rough
but it was that was
always just being honest to that guy you know what i mean and that that's the
thing that hbo has been
great about is it will say hey is this too much and they go well what else is
he gonna do you know
they see it from the character standpoint they're like well what's his choice
you know i saw the two
episodes and i i uh actually felt for the guy as far as like how he became that's
another thing like
he just he's just not like oh just okay he just is born a psycho it's like no
this guy went to
afghanistan i can see it's afghanistan did what he did over there and then got
into this line of work
where he's a hitman yeah and he basically wants to get out of it and uh and and
just henry winkler's
characters with like the acting class i mean i took a bunch of acting classes i
had a lot oh you did
oh i had a i had some great acting teachers
