latest figures so much for watching this mo good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, april 11th, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. a massive 8.6 earthquake strikes off the coast of indonesia. in politics, rick santorum quits the presidential race and we'll talk with virginia governor bob mcdonnell who may be on mitt romney's short list for vice president. >> i'm gayle king. the prosecutor in the trayvon martin case could make major announcement as early as today. this after george zimmerman's lawyers drop him as their client. >> i'm erica hill. he's got a green jacket and the general lee. masters champ bubba watson is here in studio 57. >> we begin with a look at

today's eye opener. your world in 90 seconds. >> this presidential race for us is over for me and we'll suspend our campaign effective today. >> rick santorum steps aside clearing the path for mitt romney to claim the gop nomination. >> no! >> i got to be honest. this is a good day. >> that's rick perry, michelle obama and herman cain. a great next season of "celebrity apprentice." >> we're withdrawing as counsel of mr. zimmerman. i just can't represent a client who doesn't stay in contact with me. >> i thought i was watching a "saturday night live" skit. >> we spoke on the phone about his case. >> zimmerman is ditching his lawyers but talking to hannity. >> he's not willing to tell us what our client told him. >> a tsunami warning is being

lifted for indonesia following that massive earthquake offshore and powerful aftershocks. >> in california a bear scare. >> resident there. >> folks said they believe it's the same bear that broke into a refrigerator during an earlier visit and swiped some meatballs. ozzie guillen has been suspended for five games. >> marlins manager said he respected and admired fidel castro. >> now he's apologizing after talking it over with his good friend hugo chavez. i think it will work out. >> disco rally. somebody is going to pull the roller skates out. >> and all that matters. >> amazing dog rescue caught on camera. a golden retriever jumps into a pool and saves a drowning puppy. >> on "cbs this morning." >> how could you describe your personal style of play? golf? >> awesome.

welcome to "cbs this morning." tsunami watches and warnings have now been dropped in dozens of countries in southeast asia. the same part of the world where in 2004 a tsunami killed some 250,000 people. >> those warnings were originally posted after an 8.6 magnitude quake struck early this morning in the indian ocean off the indonesian coast. what's the latest? >> reporter: a major earthquake aceh province triggered a tsunami watch for countries around the entire indian ocean but that tsunami watch has now been lifted. geologist spotted large waves in the indian ocean and the indonesian government geological agency warned that a tsunami was definitely headed for aceh province.

that tsunami watch has now been called off leading to a collective sigh of relief for many countries around the indian ocean. also reports of damage from the initial major earthquake appear to be minimal in many regions. >> the warning system was changed after the disaster in 2004. is it being given a fair amount of credit for limited damage and limited deaths at this point that we're hearing about? >> reporter: that's right. that was the silver lining to the events of today. it was a major test of the tsunami warning system. and it was shown that people really know how to react to it. they know now when they hear the sirens, they feel a major quake, they should immediately go to higher ground. that's quite different from 2004 when 230,000 people were killed in countries around the indian ocean simply because there was no tsunami warning system in many locations. >> and real quickly, they are also staying put in the wake of

these aftershocks, correct? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. we hear reports particularly in indonesia that people are staying out in the streets. they are staying out of buildings just for now. >> thanks. just a note, we'll have much more on this tonight on the "cbs evening news." the race for the 2012 republican nomination is practically over. >> that's because rick santorum decided to suspend his campaign on tuesday removing mitt romney's most serious competitor from the gop primary battle. chip reid is in washington this morning with more. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica, and good morning to everyone out west. rick santorum did not say exactly why he is getting out of the race but he strongly suggested it has a lot to do with his 3-year-old daughter, bella, who has a rare genetic disorder and spent the weekend in the hospital. one thing is very clear now. mitt romney has a clear path to the republican nomination.

>> this presidential race for us is over. for me. we will suspend our campaign effective today. >> reporter: even as rick santorum dropped out of the republican presidential race, he promised to help his party win in november. >> this game is long, long, long way from over. we're going to continue to go out there and fight to make sure that we defeat president barack obama. >> reporter: santorum didn't go so far as endorsing the man he's been trying to beat, mitt romney the former governor trailed in his home state. the republican front runner called yesterday a good day and stay focused on president obama as he pushed back on white house attacks that gop policies are bad for women. >> the real war on women has been the job losses as a result of the obama economy. >> romney has work to do on his image. a national poll gives president

obama a 2-1 advantage over romney for being more friendly and likable. romney's negatives shot up in recent weeks as santorum hit him with attack after attack. >> we already have one president who doesn't tell the truth to the american people. we don't need another nominated by our party to do the same. >> this is someone who doesn't have a core. he's been on both sides of every single issue and would probably be the worst candidate for us to nominate to go after barack obama. >> reporter: santorum and romney did speak on the phone yesterday and we are told that romney asked santorum for his endorsement. there's no official word on whether that is coming but santorum has said in the past he will support the eventual nominee. charlie and erica? >> thank you, chip. with us now, virginia governor bob mcdonnell. it's a pleasure to have you on the broadcast. welcome. >> thanks, charlie. >> where does this go now? are conservatives prepared to back the nominee? >> absolutely. >> the likely nominee.

>> i think he's the nominee. i have been supporting him for a couple months. he's the best candidate we've had because he can appeal to independent voters. great record in the private sector creating jobs. great job in massachusetts cutting spending and deficit and balancing a budget. things that are wrong in washington right now, romney has a record of getting things done. i think the enthusiasm will pick up and people will unify around mitt romney because the goal is to win the presidency and i think conservatives, independents, will get behind romney quickly and now that it's head to head, the differences and divisions and records of these two candidates will come to light quickly. >> for a moment staying within your party, what should rick santorum do now? >> i think he's done what he has to do. he ran a very spirited campaign with very limited financial resources. worked hard. brought energy and volunteers to the party. i think him getting out at this time is the right thing to do.

>> what role can he play? >> i think he can get enthusiastically behind mitt romney and ask all of his supporters both fiscal and social conservatives to enthusiastically get behind mitt romney and work for him and keep their eyes on the big prize which is winning the presidency. more importantly governing well for america to get us out of this debt and deficit and this vision for higher taxes and bigger government. rick santorum was a great messenger for that. >> enthusiastic support. >> there's been a lot of talk about the eventual vice presidential nominee. you have said you're not asking for the call but it would be a tremendous honor and you would be very interested. if you did get that call, what would you bring to the ticket? >> well, i'm going to let you experts talk about that. i got the job held by thomas jefferson and patrick henry, governor of virginia. we're getting a lot of big things done. >> what do you think then the

ultimate vp pick should have? what's the most important thing to bring to the ticket because as you said the goal here is to defeat president obama. >> the nominee has to decide that. it's got to be someone who has got the same vision of mitt romney that will focus on jobs and deficit reduction and comprehensive vision for energy and can bring people together. we have a president that's been dividing the country on everything from men versus women to rich versus the middle class. we don't need that. we need people to say we're all americans. we can do better than what we've done. let's find a way to get together and work as americans to make greatest country on earth even better. we need a positive optimistic pvision for america. that's up to the nominee. i'm happy being governor of virginia. >> president obama yesterday raised an analogy of lyndon johnson race and this will be clearest choice since then that

resulted in overwhelming victory for lyndon johnson. >> i would say that going into this race four years ago people it was well known president obama was the most liberal member of the united states senate. i thinkor like that. done nothing to get us out of this crushing and unsustainable and irmoral demmoral debt. it's not a good record to run on. i think clearly governor romney coming in with a great record over 100,000 jobs created and striking 3 billion in deficits as governor of massachusetts, these are real life accomplishments. >> is virginia in play? >> absolutely. poll came in had romney up by six. others had it closer. i think it will be competitive. i expect romney to win. last three election cycles in virginia, i won by 18.

we have other races republicans have won. it's tilting back toward right of center orientation. i expect romney to win virginia but it will take a lot of hard work. president obama is great campaigner that will raise a lot of money. the issues which are jobs, economy, taxes, spending, deficits, energy, all favor the republicans this time. >> governor, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me on. appreciate it, charlie. in the trayvon martin case, the special prosecutor says she'll release new information about her investigation as soon as tomorrow. that follows a surprise news conference where george zimmerman's lawyers say they no longer represent him. jeff glor is in san francisco where zimmerman shot martin more than six weeks ago. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers out west. for six weeks there's been a search for answers. yesterday, more questions. the news conference was as sudden as it was surprising. >> as of now we are withdrawing

as counsel for mr. zimmerman. we've lost contact with him. >> reporter: sunday was the last time they heard from their client, george zimmerman. >> he's not returning my messages. he's not returning my texts and e-mails. he won't even give me a collect call. >> reporter: benjamin crump is worried that no one knows where zimmerman is. >> we're concerned that he may be a flight risk. nobody knows where he's at. he can get in contact with you but you can't get in contact with him. >> reporter: dropping all communication with his lawyers was the latest unusual move by zimmerman. over the weekend he set up his own website to collect donations. yesterday he said i'm attempting to respond to each and every one of my supporters personally. the support has been overwhelming in volume and strength. zimmerman upset his legal team by placing an off the record phone call to fox news' sean hannity to confirmed the call but little else on his show last night. >> he reached out to me. we spoke on the phone about his case. i agreed not to report on the

contents of that conversation. that's it. i know nothing about his relationship with his now former attorneys. >> reporter: the final straw says uhrig came yesterday when zimmerman reached out to the special prosecutor, angela corey. >> an attorney says don't talk to prosecutors and cops and don't talk to anybody until we get control of the situation and do it through counsel. >> reporter: corey's office says they did not speak with zimmerman because he was not with his lawyers. those lawyers say zimmerman is not in florida right now. charlie and erica? >> jeff, thank you very much. with us now, senior correspondent and a legal analyst. what is your reaction, both of you, to this conduct by the attorneys and their client? >> this has been an odd case from the very beginning. unusual for the very beginning starting with the law in florida which is different from many other states.

it is even more curiouser and curiouser as they say in literary world to have lawyers standing up saying we no longer represent him. we haven't met with him yet. we talked with him on the phone about a variety of things. we find out now he's talking to media folks and reaching out for prosecutor. >> why accept a case in which you have not yet talked to the client? >> that happens. first thing you get is a phone call from someone. a family member is in jail, for instance. can you talk with them. talk with me first. preliminary conversations. initial conversation by phone are not unusual. at some point in time you'll want to sit down with the client and especially give them some instructions most importantly you don't talk to anybody unless i give you the okay and unless i'm there with you. it is another unusual piece of this puzzle. >> john? >> well, if you look at the developments of yesterday and i spoke to one of the top criminal defense lawyers in florida yesterday who said what you're

seeing is perfect storm of insanity is the term he used. if you look at the tactical piece of this, if i'm the prosecutor and my point of contact is these attorneys because i can't talk to this guy. he's represented. as jack pointed out, at some point i'll say i'll bring a charge. produce your client. bring them to court. i'm in a different place. he's not represented. i lost my link to him if they're supposed to produce him. i'm going to say i want my investigators out. i want to know where he is. i want eyes on that location. and this was then followed by announcement saying within 72 hours we're going to call a press conference. we're going to give you three hour's notice. to me that suggests the wheels are turning for them to say we want to know where he is and we want people there and if i give the signal to pick him up, i want people there to do that. the lawyers told us yesterday appropriately or otherwise that they think he's out of state which means florida authorities

can't pick him up. they have to get local authorities there and maybe go for extradition. >> you say if they know where he is and investigators start looking into it. do you think at this point law enforcement knows where george zimmerman is because initially it seemed we're going to keep tabs on him but we won't tell anybody for obvious reasons. >> that's a fascinating question. in the beginning when law enforcement said from sanford police we are in contact with him, which is different from we know where he is. now you fast forward weeks and weeks later and when they are represented, after he's represented by lawyers as jack has said, they're not allowed to be in contact with him. so it's entirely uncertain to me whether they actually do know where he is and that's going to be a factor here. >> thank you so much. >> all right, charlie. >> some of this morning's headlines now. "usa today" has good news for drivers. big surge in gas prices appears to be over. the average price nationwide has stayed at $3.92 a gallon for the

use a fitting word to describe his game, the word was awesome. the new masters champion thrilled every golf fan in the world with one towering shot out of the greens, onto the green and into the record books. >> did it hook? oh, what a shot! >> look at it. hooking on the green. incredible. >> another watson is wearing a green jacket at augusta! and this time his name is bubba! >> when you see that, what do you think? >> craziness. awesomeness. i just see joy, excitement, my friends, my friends, fellow

golfers that stayed around to watch. just love for my mom, all the hard work she put in, all the hard work my date dad put in. my mom had two jobs when i was in high school to make sure she could pay for my golf clubs, all the golf stuff. just all that, just to say thanks to my mom. we didn't say any words. we just hugged, cried for a little while. >> here's a picture of that, you and your mom right there. here is what david said. i want to read you this. in the gathering darkness from the shadows of giant pines, from atop a bed of pine needles, with immortality at stake, bubba watson did what bubba watson always did, he hit a shot only he saw. it had to head for daylight, then turned sharply right. it did. he won the masters. i want to show you one other picture here. this is for america, you couldn't see it from the cbs shot, you were here on your drive. the green is here.

you're coming through and you're hitting a hook like i've never seen before. you knew you could do it. >> i knew i could do it but at that moment you never know. i was so focused on the shot, so focused on what i had to do. i saw he was short of the green so he would have a tough up and down. i knew i could pull it off. to actually hit it that close was surprising to me, but it worked out. >> there is something about you, bubba, that connects with america. i mean, a whole range of things. an attitude of never having lessons. it is the attitude of your parents being so supportive. it is the attitude of you and this new son you have. i mean, there's something about you that's catching on in america. do you feel it? >> no, it's a whirlwind right now, doing all this media. but, i think it's just everyday man. it's something that -- i come from humble beginnings. my parents didn't have much money. lived in a small town,

pensacola, florida, played golf the way i know how to play, no lessons, just go out there like on a public golf course. just playing golf, enjoying it. enjoying the thrill of the game of golf. and now here as masters champion, i think everybody sees that, all the young kids see that as they have the chance, too, they have somebody to look up to that they can strive to be a masters champion without all the hoopla, the coaches, mental coaches and all that stuff. >> has anybody tried to change that for you over the years? that's one thing that makes you great, why you have so much appeal to people, is the fact you've done it your own way because it works for you. >> nobody has tried to change it. you know, when -- i have friends that are swing coaches on tour, the big names out there. they always say that nobody would touch you. nobody knows how to get in your mind because my mind's so different. it's just -- so they just -- they like it. you know, like i've alleges said, it's not for everybody. some people need a little tips here and there to help them and

get them to where they need to be. >> how is your mind different? >> i think about a lot of stuff on the golf course. how to calm myself down. when i 3-putted number 12 and is that put me three back or something, i -- i got down for a second, then i was like, i can still -- i can still high finish, birdied four in a row and i was like, i can win this. i can win this tournament now. a lot of emotion, a lot of things going on. thinking about my new baby at home, my wife at home. thinking about all the stuff that could happen with the win. then i have to remember that i still had holes to go. just a lot of things. a lot of thoughts going through your head. again, i like to have fun and goof around with some weird videos. >> we like those videos. we have a few. >> that's a cue for us. you provided a perfect segue. let's see the videos. ♪ ♪ you want to play hey hey ♪ >> the green jacket with the overalls? >> out of respect for augusta national -- >> probably not?

>> -- probably wouldn't do it. >> what is it that enables you to hit it longer than most? do you understand that? >> yeah. my technique, i used the art, you know, i straighten my arms out both ways on the backswing and followthrough. the arc creates club head speed and a lot of practice hitting it in the center of the club face. >> that's right. >> then the arc creates club head speed which creates the power to go farther. >> you've had a lot of things happened since you got this jacket. as you mentioned it's been a whirlwind. with david letterman last night. i understand you also had a phone call with the president? >> yes, the president -- mr. president called me. >> did you just pick up and phone and someone says, bubba, we have mr. president on the line for you? >> i guess his aide, i'm not sure what you call him, he called and said the next voice you hear will be the president of the united states. and he says -- he said, hey, bubba congratulations. i said, hey, buddy, how you doing? i mean, mr. president, sorry. and he laughed about it and stuff.

but i didn't know what to say to him. >> will you play with him? >> i would -- i would if he asked. he hasn't asked yet. i'd love to just play basketball -- >> he may. >> i would just love to play basketball at the white house. >> you're also -- we can't let you go without talking about your son caleb, just 6 weeks old. that's made this a little more special for you. but you think the green jacket may get you out of diaper duty? >> i'm hoping that gives me a couple weeks off diaper duty, especially the bad diapers. but, you know, it's -- it's amazing. you know, i -- we picked up the baby, caleb, 6 weeks old now. all this media, talking about him, when finally he gets old enough to realize what went on and what happened, he'll see these videos and different articles where i talk about him all the time and show love to him. >> lucky guy. >> it's been a remarkable journey for you.

can you, do you believe that you can win four grand slams in one season? we've just seen the first one. >> you always believe you can. doing it is a dichfferent story though. it's never happened. obviously, i'm the only one that has a chance this year. >> i like that attitude. >> so bring on the british open. >> exactly. >> bring on the u.s. open, bring on the pga. >> yeah, for sure. >> thank you very much. listen, we would love to have you at cbs because you'd mentioned playing basketball. we have nothing to do with the white house, nothing to do with playing with the president but we have something to do with washington and the reporters like me would love to have you as a white house correspondents dinner and join us there in washington. >> thank you. >> we hope we'll see you again. >> perfect. >> and charlie plays basketball so it's not a bad second. you could always play with charlie. >> he hits a 320, i'm lucky to hit 220. what do you average off the tee? >> i think i'm averaging around 314 this year. >> not quite as much as i said.

>> yeah. i'm hitting it easy right now. >> thank you, bubba. >> thank you. >> congratulations again. >> great to have you here. >> thank you very much. cell phone theft is becoming a much too common crime. we'll take a look at a new plan that would make your mobile device useless to the bad guy. we really mean mobile, you'll see why. you're watching "cbs this morning."

the curve on databases as databases exist in countries like australia and many parts of europe. it will take about 18 months for all of the phones in the u.s. to be added on the database but most will be on in the next six months. >> seth, what's next in this process of trying to clamp down on this? >> reporter: well, charlie, for consumers they won't need to do a thing. your phone already has a unique identifying numbers. the carrier already knows that. it's just a matter of getting it all together on one database so that cell phone providers can alert each other if someone's phone is, indeed, stolen. >> i'm sure there's always a concern thieves could go around certain things. in the interim what do we need to do as consumers to protect ourselves? >> reporter: well, it's really just common sense. that's a big part of it. that's what ray kelly, nypd commissioner was saying, don't are your cell phone in just one hand. if you're on the train, use it in two hands.

a lot of cases you have people just snatching the phone and walking out one of these doors. also just keeping it in your pocket, keeping it it's pretty much impossible

we're out there to try to accomplish something. >> reporter: in the hinton family, flying seems as essential as breathing. since you were a kid, the love of airplanes? >> yeah, grew up. i had a crib in the office. my mom works here so always a family business. >> reporter: at the planes of fame museum, the hintons restore classic aircraft. steven took me flying in a world war ii p-51 mustang. then his dad pulled up right beside us. suddenly we're flying frighteningly close, wing tip to wing tip as they do in the races. it bothers me a little bit, i got to admit. still, cruising at less than half the 500 miles an hour racing speed. but that was quite enough for me. steven, however, drives on the edge of danger. >> the engine's like a time bomb. fuse is lit and you don't know how long it is.

'also said, we thought you were so pretty. i never thought of myself as pretty, you know. i say this in the book, i say, only when we're young, you know,

we feel like we're this -- not able to measure up. if we could tell ourselves, you know, be yourself, you're beautiful, you're smart, you're funny, you're everything you aspire to be. you're already there. >> what's the most requested? what do they most want you to sing when you are with an audience? >> you know, it's hard to know because they're not in a request situation. but most of the songs from "tapestry," you know, they like "i feel the earth move" because it's upbeat. i watched you. i saw you. but i did find out on itunes the most requested song is "it's too late". >> why do you think that is? >> because i think people are going through tumultuous times in their relationship. those lyrics are by tony stern and her lyrics, you know, speak for people going through divorces. i've had two -- you know, a lot of people have a lot of different stories. very common stories are, your song "it's too late" got me

through my divorce. here's little joey. he loves your "natural woman." i'm like, tmi. >> thank you, really, really, truly an honor to see you. >> likewise. i have great respect for both of you. >> thank you. >> thank you. carole king's book "natural woman" is available in bookstores and online. you can look for her new album called "legendary demos" april 24th. carole king. "the three stooges" are returning to the big screen thanks to the funny farrelly brother. they're in the green room and after the break they'll join us on set. first,,,

>> now in their new movie the writer/directors are bringing back the classic slap stick comedy of "the three stooges". >> where's mine? >> they're small. >> why don't you have two? >> oh, now look what you did, mo, you got doughnuts stuck in my hair. >> you're in luck. i got a doughnut remover right here. >> what's a doughnut remover? >> it's one of these. do-not-remove. >> what are the odds of that? >> hey, mother superior is looking for you. >> here, let me get it for you. ♪ >> that's just a modern -- >> i don't know, but the face rings a bell. >> peter and bobby farrelly, nice to have you here. >> thank you. >> what's the key to your comedy? >> i think it's to have fun.

you know, particularly in this one, the stooges, it's like they really don't work unless you like the guys. and, you know, we like to take a little time at the beginning of our movies and explain why you'd like these guys that you're going to spend an hour with. or an hour and a half. you know, that's the key that has a little heart to it. >> it's got visual humor, it's got -- here i am at 57 thinking, i'm not going to laugh, i'm not going to laugh. it's so silly. and then you find yourself thinking about parts of the movie later going, this is pretty funny. the guy driving me yesterday, his name is eric. he said, you know what i like about it -- he walks around with his iphone with three stooges clips from back in the day. he's very excited. he said, you go there, you don't have to think. everybody needs a good laugh. that's what they do for me. you don't have to connect the dots. that's what you do very well. you just make us want to laugh. >> i appreciate that. especially now, you know, the stoo stooges started during the great depression, now we're in the great recession. do you forget your worries for

85 minutes. just giggle. it's all about that. >> took you ten years to develop this, even though you had a lot of other things to do. >> yeah. >> but why ten years? >> i think, you know, the studios were afraid that the three stooges, they're iconic. how are we going to outdo the original three stooges? our feeling is, we aren't going to outdo them, just recapture the funny stuff they did and reintroduce them to a new generation of kids. and then the trick was to set it in the modern day world. >> what's the key to do that? to capture the three stooges, capture the sense -- >> in modern day. >> we were very clear, that is one of the reasons it was so difficult to get made. when we met with actors and with met with lots -- thousands actors, over 1,000, we were very specific. we said, it has to be exactly moe, larry and curly. we didn't want a version of moe,

like a batman movie. he wanted to be exact. some actors don't like that. if we were -- if sir laurence olivier were going to be in this movie we could ask him to read because had-t has to be right on. you can't ask certain guys to read. they get offended. >> he would probably want to do that. >> i think he would. >> i want to know about your unique sense of humor. what's funny is watching you watch clips of your movies and you're cracking up. you're cracking up yourself. >> we haven't seen them in so -- honestly, i never watch our movies. once they're done, that's it. so, it was sort of fresh. >> it brought back memories. >> a little embarrassing. we were laughing the loudest. >> peter and bob y you guys are grown men. i'm thinking, are you mature men? are you sophomoric in your real like in what are you really like? >> both? >> can you be both? >> of course you can. >> grown and sophomoric? >> yes. and like to be crazy and silly and sophomoric, don't you agree? >> i agree we're sophomoric but

we're grown men, too. we lean towards being sophomoric because we like to laugh and we like to have fun. no matter what happens we try to think, there's something funny about this and we can -- we can have a little fun with it. >> when you go about it, do you pout your game hat and say, this is my work to be funny or are you naturally -- simply an extension of who you are and where you are? >> i would say it's more of -- honestly, people say, do you sit down and think of these gags? we don't. pthat's not how it happens. we first think of creating a character that's so likeable we can hang our gags on them. once have you those characters worked out where you like those guys, the gags are natural. they come easily. like you better like jim carrey in "dumb & dumber" because two minutes into the movie sawing a dead bird to a blind can kid in a wheelchair -- >> that's funny by definition with jim carrey. >> but it's over if you don't like him. >> are you only children? do you have siblings?

>> we're the only ones that count but we two have three sisters. >> three lovely sisters. >> are they funny? >> very funny. >> i was wondering if you grew up in a funny household. i was curious about your backgrou background, how this came to be. this is what fascinates me about your work. like that scene in "there's something about mary" with iconic -- you know, in her hair. >> based on something that happened to bob. no, kidding. >> really? i'm like, whoa. but you go to the line, i think, they're not going to go there, and then you do. and then do you. is there a line you won't cross? >> it's generally a line where if somebody in particular, you know, got hurt or something, you know, we just -- we -- it's -- the joke is generally on our lead character, who we spend a lot of time -- again, going over this, but trying to gets to you like him. most of the funny things happen to our lead characters. and in "the three stooges" it's no different. >> how do you get them to like

you -- to like him? >> in the beginning of "there's something about mary," ben stiller's character stood up for mary's mentally challenged brother, who he didn't know was her brother. you know, he just did the right thing. you saw him do it. and then he found -- then by coincidence it was mary's brother. so, you saw he's a good guy. coming from a good place. so when funny things happen to him, you go with it. >> in this, you said, how do you take them and president them in modern day. we had the advantage of in a movie setting, although this is broken up into three episodes, each episode picks up where the last one left off and there's an arc. >> there's an actual plot. >> there's a plot. in the beginning, moe as a child gets adopted, taken away from larry and curly. on the way to this mansion that he's been adopted to, the family that adopted him, he tries to convince them to go back for his friends. by doing that, they drop him off and take another kid. >> but it all ties together nicely. i know we have to go, but we

have to say something because i thought the movie was so violent. i did. some of the jokes. but at the end you make sure kids know, do not try this at home, nobody was hurt, it was all just a big joke. >> this movie -- we test our movies a great deal. this is mom-tested. >> no, i approve. >> we made sure -- moms alike, "the three stooges" i don't know. but it's silly violence, cartoon stuff. nobody gets hurt.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the highlight for this two hours was bubba watson. >> oh, for sure. >> he was great, wasn't? he. >> you really do see something coming. >> i hope he takes up on the invitation to come -- >> that and -- >> it would be great to have him here. >> i looked him a lot. >> we've had a great two hours.
