Rob Lowe tells “If something isn’t working, we both know without even talking to each other.” Rob Lowe and his brother Chad are in sync all of the time.

The Parks and Recreation actor, 58, told people about working on the fox series 9-1-1: Lonestar with his younger brother, 54, while attending the Taste for a Cure event in Los Angeles on Friday evening.

When asked if their brotherly dynamic shows through in conflict under Chad’s guidance, Rob tells PEOPLE exclusively, “We have ESP” – referring to extrasensory perception, or what many regards as a sixth sense of sorts.

“So he knows before I say something, and I know [before] he says something,”

“And if something isn’t working, we both know without even talking to each other.”

“We’re just telepathic in ways where if it were another director, it would be a whole prolonged conversation that they might not even understand.”

“Anyone who gets that kind of privilege [to work alongside family] knows it’s hard to put into words how proud you are, the satisfaction.” “Also, you get to learn about your family member in a totally different way because you’re not family when you’re at work, right? You’re partners.”

“So its just another added beautiful dynamic and I love being able to do it,”

“I had just paid a fortune for him to go to Stanford to study to be a microbiologist. So I was like, ‘Wait a minute, you could have been a struggling actor, without the education. What the hell?”

“But he’s super smart, [a] super good writer, and I’m really excited about the show and working with him.”
