that world can't wait to see what you'll do.

All this and more on today's last looks.

Now, coming up on today's episode, we'll be hearing all your corrections and omissions on Expendables 4, and I'll be playing an exclusive deleted scene from the episode.
That's right, more content.
Plus, I'll be sharing more of my Lost Sylvester Stallone podcast, featuring guests like Jack McBray, David Wayne, and even my own mom.
And as always, at the end of the show, I will reveal the movie for next week's episode.
Just a heads up, on August 8th, you can catch June on the big screen in both Freakier Friday and Weapons.
So get your butts to the movie theater.
Weapons is fantastic.
You will love it.
I also want to give a shout out to my friends who made the naked gun.
It is very, very funny.
Apparently, according to Rotten Tomatoes, this is the best reviewed comedy or second best reviewed comedy in over a decade.
So
Get yourself to the movies, people.
Every Monday, the dark web is on YouTube absolutely for free me rob hubel and this week we uh talked about a cowboy who likes to uh give you sex tips pretty great anyway our amazing movie producer avril halley uh is on the road to recovery with her brain cancer the love the outpouring of just support that you have given her through uh snail mail at P.O.
Box641, Agora Hills, California, 91376, or through email at andrew at moviebitches.xyz has has been amazing.
If you want to keep it going, she loves it.
We love it.
I just want to thank you all for doing that for her.
And it's just amazing that her prognosis has been getting so much better.
As we get into it,
I want to just remind you that today we are going to figure out Expendables 4.
If you left with any questions, don't worry because by the end of this episode, you will be like, Paul, I know what's up.
And you know what?
Let's start it right now with a a little corrections and omissions.
Thank you, anyhow, blues, for that theme song.
Let's go to the Discord.
Sean McBee, what do you got?
Well, I'm going to read it.
I think my biggest issue with this movie, other than every single minute of it being the dumbest thing I've ever seen, is that the bad guy's plan hinges on capturing everyone and then convincing the government to do a prisoner exchange to save the team called the Expendables.
Well, I don't know if their government calls them that.
Timu Judy Dench should have said, they're called the Expendables for a reason, asshole.
But no, this is a world in which she had to send a memo requesting a prisoner exchange for a team explicitly used for their expendability.
Now, Sean, I don't want to get into the nitty-gritty.
I don't believe
they are called the expendables.
Like, I don't know if they like go to the expendables headquarters.
I think that they just put, they're mercenaries, right?
They, you know,
I hear what you're saying.
Like,
I don't think that anyone in this world is saying, get your team of expendables, but you know what?
As I say that, it probably is a line that there is in the movie.
So, you know what?
You're right.
Dr.
Gutz1003 writes, why is a popular social media influencer putting an ad in a newspaper to find a new bodyguard?
Dr.
Gutz, that's old man logic for you.
That is some Stallone logic.
Okay, I think he's still writing movies that take place in the early 80s.
Arkham player writes, did anyone see the photo in Statham's locker of him and Megan Fox?
His facial hair is hilarious.
Considering Megan Fox wasn't in the earlier movies and Statham hasn't had facial hair in any of the movies, why did this character decide to grow a questionable
goatee between movies three and four?
I did not notice that.
I think in my mind, I thought that he drew that mustache on himself.
But when you look at this picture and you can see it on Discord,
it is straight up like, I don't know, magician who hasn't gotten a lot of work lately.
There is something so bizarre about this thing.
It just feels like something funny that happened on set and they just took a picture and they put it up there.
Anyway, let's go to the phone.
Tristan, what do you got?
In the Expendables 4 show, Jason said Jean-Claude does get it, but he doesn't get it when he suggested playing his twin brother, which I have to say would have been an amazing decision.
If you have never seen it, check out Jean-Claude Van Johnson, which is an Amazon Prime series where Jean-Claude Van Damme plays himself, a version of himself, where his undercover identity is Jean-Claude Van Johnson,
as he goes in and all of his movie shoots around the world have been cover stories for him to do some secret agent nonsense off on the side.
And he 100% gets it it and is kind of poking fun of himself and his career in that.
It's excellent.
You should check it out if you haven't seen it.
Thanks.
Bye.
Okay.
Yes, yes, yes.
I know about this show.
This is an older show, as a matter of fact.
And I'm a fan.
Directed by a friend, Peter Attensio, who I believe is related to the
man who wrote the song for The Haunted Mansion.
Where did that fact live?
In my brain.
Anyway,
it is created by Dave Callahan, who wrote Expendables One, and Across the Spider-Verse, and Shang-Chi.
It's good.
It's really good.
Our friend Heather Campbell, also in that show.
You know, Heather from How Did This Get Played, but now I think it's just called something else, like just get played.
Love Heather.
It's great.
Okay.
Next call.
Now, I can't verify this, but my producer Scott is telling me that this next call is from Sylvester Stallone himself.
Let me hear.
Hey,
How many Oscars you make and keep moving forward.
That's how winning is done.
That's how expendables was made.
Expendables four
and five
anyway there better be a summer stallone on spool that's all i gotta say about that
bye paul okay now that i've heard it i gotta say i believe that is sylvester stallone
wow i am honored i would say the only note to that stallone is uh i would say It doesn't matter how many Razzies you get, but you got to keep on getting up to get those Oscars.
That's the only note I would say that Stallone, but you know what, Stallone, a great writer.
I appreciate him calling in.
Thank you, Stallone.
I loved, wow, I'm honored.
And you know what?
We will talk about doing a potential Unspooled series.
By the way, Unspooled, we've been doing a lot of fun movies.
We just did Naked Gun, a fun kind of breakdown to that film.
We've done a lot of new, interesting films on that show.
So check it out if you haven't heard it in a bit.
But thank you, Sylvester Stallone, for calling in.
I appreciate it.
I hope you're not offended.
And I know you're not because you're just a cool dude.
Anyway, back to the Discord.
George Glass writes, so I decided to watch all four of these because I couldn't just hop in at the fourth one.
And this was my biggest gripe.
Justice for Charisma Carpenter.
She has a couple of scenes in the first one, shows up in the second one, where her character and Statham get engaged, and then she disappears, never to be seen again.
And in the fourth one, Statham is just randomly dating Megan Fox.
What?
happened to charisma carpenter i did some sleuthing and it turns out they cut a scene in the second one where they break up, but they never allude to it in the third or fourth movie.
She just disappeared.
Now,
I know that I'm a big Buffy fan.
We've talked about this.
I'm a big Angel fan.
I love Charisma Carpenter.
We worked out at the same gym and I did everything within my power never to make eye contact or speak to her
because I would have just completely geeked out.
But I remember seeing Expendables One and being like, damn, she's good.
She should be in more more stuff.
And you're right.
Justice for Charisma Carpenter.
Now, you know, we also normally in this show have like a little deleted scene.
And this week, we wanted to add one in because we did talk about Charisma Carpenter in the actual show.
So take a listen to this and you can kind of see how
her absence is even kind of more egregious.
What's her name?
What's your question?
Oh, my name's Charlie.
I was just going to say, I know, Jason, you haven't seen the other expendable movies.
You said you saw the first two, but Cordelia in the first one was in a relationship with Jason Satham, and Sylvester Sloan's like, you can't be in relationships and do this life.
She's pregnant in the second one.
He's a father.
No.
I forgot about that.
Oh, no.
I'm surprised there was never a kid expendables.
Like a kid's team.
Well, by the way, I am in the Fast and Furious Kids cartoon on Netflix.
I love that.
Not a joke.
I am in one episode of it.
He's a father.
Well, that gives a lot of gravity toss to him deciding to go down with the ship.
He doesn't have even one thought about his offspring.
So, yeah, not only did they break up, but they broke up when she was pregnant.
No wonder they cut it out.
Okay?
Because it's like, yeah, that makes Statham.
a fucking asshole.
Anyway, so weird.
So weird.
And you you know what?
This is said with love because I actually think Megan Fox is pretty great too.
Jennifer's body, A plus.
I'm just bummed.
I'm bummed.
I'm excited we get Megan,
but I'm also bummed we lose Charisma.
And I'm like, for the amount that Megan is in, this movie.
Maybe Charisma couldn't do all those stuff.
I don't know.
Somebody talk to Charisma.
Find out what's going on.
No, don't talk to her.
That would be weird.
Somebody talk to Statham and be like, what's up?
Why didn't you producers want to put her in?
Maybe she asked for some more money.
And I bet you cheap fuckers were like, no.
Anyway,
as a matter of fact, I guarantee it.
I guarantee it.
Corgi Herder writes, I got a question for Paul.
Ooh, that's me.
Let's say the series is rebooted in 20 years.
Who is your cast?
Now, be careful with ages because Vin Diesel would be 78 years old.
Corgi Herder says, I would go with Jason Momoa and Chris Hemsworth as the leads.
I believe Hemsworth was in one of these anyway.
Kiana Reeves as their stoneface sniper.
Jake Gyllenhal as a crazy demolitions expert.
John Cena as their stealth guy.
Jason Statham in a small role to connect the franchise.
And villains, Tom Hardy and Michelle Rodriguez.
I love it.
But you're leaving out some good people.
Frank Grillo.
I think Frank Grillo could be in this.
I think that John Cena could definitely be in this.
You haven't talked about The Rock.
at all.
Let's put The Rock in this.
Hell yeah.
I also think when you're you're looking at this movie and you're thinking, like, all right, who could do this kind of cool action?
You know, we, we mentioned a lot of dudes.
Obviously, Michelle Rodriguez is in there.
Charlize Faron?
I mean, wouldn't she be a fucking badass?
Ana Diarmas?
Uh, I could see her in this.
Uh, but if we want to even go one step further, Tom Cruise leads the team.
It's like Mission Impossible, but old Mission Impossible.
Anyway, uh, let's go to Water Boy 2.
Okay, now the video game that Paul was talking about in the episode was called Def Jam Vendetta, which was basically Mortal Kombat with rappers.
Yes, thank you, Waterboy, for getting me.
But Expendables team members, 50 Cent, also had his own video game called 50 Cent Bulletproof, where he's basically a superhero Neo James Bond, not like a Neo James Bond, like a superhero slash Neo slash James Bond.
Now, our producer Scott looked up the Metacritic user score for this video game.
It is
a 4.4 out of 10, of course, right?
But we've noticed that the YouTube comments on this trailer are overwhelmingly different.
Yeah.
So we're going to briefly interrupt corrections and omissions because now it's time for 50 Cent Bulletproof second opinions.
What's mine is mine.
What's yours is mine.
I run these streets.
This whole city is mine.
I never understand how people forget that.
All right.
The trailer for 50 Cent Bulletproof on YouTube has 758,000 views, 6,500 likes, and 446 positive comments.
First up is a comment from 95 Batman lover.
As a young kid, I honestly thought 50 Cent was a skilled mercenary like this in real life.
You know, that is not too far off because we were taught as young people who love Steven Seagal that he was all these things too, not just like a karate teacher for rich dudes in Beverly Hills.
Kid Gray 3994 writes, this is one of the hardest clips ever.
As a kid, my dream was to become a skilled killer like 50 Cent and gain respect around my whole city.
I ended up with a minimum wage 95, but thanks for the memories, Vetty.
Tev Dennis11 writes, great times.
I remember showing my mother this trailer, telling her how much I wanted this game.
I still remember to this day when she saw 50 Cent shooting a guy hang off the rooftop.
She was like, oh my God, no.
But still ended up buying it for me.
Tev, that's a good mom.
Adelof1 writes, before John Wick, we have 50 Cent.
You know, that's the thing.
There was like that moment where there were a lot of bio picks, but you know, I remember that like DMX did a movie with Jet Lee.
That was awesome.
You know, and I feel like Fiddy had like his
biopic movie, which is kind of a rip off the M ⁇ M, not a rip, but like trying to steal thunder from that.
I'm like, just put him in these fatigues and get him blowing shit up.
Anyway, I love that.
And I appreciate Scott finding that little 50-cent video game tangent.
But you know what?
Back to the business at hand.
We have to pick the best correction and omission for this week.
And you know what?
I want to give it to somebody who talked about something that was very important.
Yes, I know Stallone called and that was awesome and I'm honored by it, but he doesn't need any more accolades.
I want to give my accolade this week to
our friend, George Glass.
George Glass, who says, Justice for Charisma Carpenter.
And you know what?
I have to agree with you 100%.
Now, I wish I could give you something, but I can't.
But I can have you listen to this song specifically for you.
Milk, hit it.
What you want?
Come in.
what you need.
All right, if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit up our Discord or call us at 619-P-A-U-L-A-S-K.
And once again, you can find our new song submission link at httgm.com or in the show notes for this very episode.
Coming up after the break, you will hear from guests like Jack McBray, David Wayne, and more as I bring Sylvester Stallone podcast back to light.
And of course, I will finally announce next week's movie.

For a limited time at McDonald's, get a Big Mac extra-value meal for $8.
That means two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, and medium fries, and a drink.
We may need to change that jingle.
Prices and participation may vary.
All right, everybody, I hope you're checking out
classic How Did This Get Made episodes that are being re-released into your feed every Tuesday.
This week, we are continuing Stallone's Summer with Cobra, and next week we'll be revisiting a movie that argues bombs are more precise weapons than guns.
That's right.
The specialist with all-star Nicole Bayer.
So keep on checking out all of the replays of our classic episodes every Tuesday.
I believe that Nicole Bayer episode was the first live episode back after COVID.
All right.
Anyway, I've plugged it enough.
It is now time to get back into my lost Sylvester Stallone podcast.
On our previous Last Looks, you heard how Stallone agreed to guest on my podcast, but Kep on standing me up for every episode.
So, does Sly ever show up?
Let's find out.
Hey, mom.
Hi.
How are you?
What's the matter?
Just bummed out.
What happened?
I'm doing this Sylvester Stallone podcast, and I thought that I was going to get Sylvester Stallone to come in, and
he has not come in.
So, what happens now?
I don't know.
They have me signed up for this contract, and I have to do this show, and
people are listening, and I don't know.
I just,
I feel like I'm going to look like a real jerk in front of everybody.
Yeah.
But I don't know if I should, what?
Did he have a contract to do what he promised?
This is what I'm...
So we talked to his people at one point.
And like we advertised this.
I talked to the Wall Street Journal.
I was just on Bloomberg.
I just was on Bloomberg today and talking to these guys and I was advertising.
They said, oh yeah, now he's not going to come now.
So he's not coming.
I don't know if you know how that way you like when you feel like you
you put yourself out there in a way and you just yeah you know now everyone I don't know sees it and I just feel like a jerk about it you know because I don't know what to do to recover from it well let me let me ask you this is it totally lost is there any way that you could personally reach out to him
I mean yeah I guess that's I mean yeah I guess I could.
I mean,
I mean, I don't know if I know him or anything.
You never met him, right?
You never saw him, like, in the city or anything like that.
No?
Who are you saying that to, Dejune?
No, I'm saying that to you.
Sylvester Stallone?
No, because I remember you ran into Chevy Chase in that liquor store one time.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, I never met him in the city.
Yeah, no.
All right.
But you know what?
Can I tell you something?
We had a similar thing happen at the hospital
where we thought we were going to have these hospitalists join the staff, right?
Right.
And at like 1201, they said, oh, by the way, we're not doing it.
And the only thing that worked was for the chief medical officer to throw himself on the sword.
And there was something that they didn't like.
But rather than saying what they didn't like, they just said, we're not doing it.
So he found out what it was that they didn't like.
He couldn't correct it immediately, but we got them to start.
And I'm thinking that the only sometimes you have to kiss, well, I mean, in your business, you know it more than I do.
You know, I think you have to kiss his ass a little bit.
So maybe just like go in there and just kind of like, yeah, like just maybe like offer up something that he's not quite getting or something, or just like kind of, yeah, follow my sword a little bit.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And, you know,
play to that.
I will.
You know, absolutely play to that.
All right.
This is, this is, I appreciate that.
That's actually really good advice.
You know what?
Because in fact, everyone's just like kind of against me.
Like, June's even saying, like, June told me, she's like, I don't want you to stop doing the show.
You're embarrassing yourself.
and you know everyone is everyone's trying to say just cut your losses and you're the only first you're the first person to tell me that I should continue and I appreciate that oh yeah yeah yeah
and I bet you it'll work yeah I really do I'll tell you we had we had millions of dollars at stake and I
think millions of dollars yeah well no I mean Wolfpop no millions of dollars but it's a lot you know it's a lot Yeah, and you know what?
Maybe there's something you can offer him.
I mean, would he be somebody that you would want on the league?
Well, I mean, you think he would be like into, like, I could kind of put that out there, like, he could be on the show and be like, he'd be a cool customer.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
I would just really, you know, I don't want to say beg, but you know what I mean by falling on your sword.
No, I definitely do.
I definitely do.
This is great.
Thank you, mom.
Okay, honey.
All right.
Oh, I'm glad to help.
I'm Christmas shopping for Gussie.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, all right.
Well, I love you, mom.
buddy.
Hey, Jack McBrair, you are on the Jack McBrair podcast.
I'm the host, Paul Scheer, asking you questions that the fans want to know.
Hey, buddy, what's going on?
Jack, you are now the star of the show.
I originally started the Sylvester Stallone podcast.
I've been having trouble getting him, but I figured, you know, next to Stallone, people also want to know about Jack McBray.
What makes you tick?
What the fun parts of your career and stuff.
And figure if you're open for it, we could just do a podcast right now.
You're on the air right now.
I guess so, but now clearly I wasn't your first choice though.
Well no, but you were my first choice because I didn't think that you were popular enough like Stallone.
But now as the we you know as things have gone on I'm definitely feeling like this is your get- your gettable guest for me.
But did you ask other people first?
I asked a couple people.
Yeah yeah ask a couple people.
Yeah sure.
you know, friends of ours and stuff like that.
But now that we got each other, I think we shouldn't won't worry about the past you know you're never the first offer do you ever hear that what does that mean well like if you ever got a movie or tv like chances are you're not the first person they wanted like i'm sure for you know kenneth they didn't write that part for you it probably went to like a bigger actor you know or something like that no actually actually no that is incorrect i knew tina fe for a long time okay she did say she wrote kenneth with me in mind paul i doubt it you audition for it i didn't audition i just i'm just saying i doubt it i'm just saying there probably was other people out there you know, she probably, I don't know, went, you know, she probably went to like
Donny Wahlberg or somebody first, you know, like a bigger name person.
Donnie Wahlberg?
Yeah.
Don't get caught up on this.
We shouldn't get caught up on the fact that you're lower than Donnie Wahlberg on the celebrity ladder.
You're a more accessible guy.
That's why I'm calling you right now.
Why are you doing this?
Why are you doing this?
You called me.
I know.
And you're the one who's telling me that you're offer only and that everyone wants you.
Listen, let me
burst your bubble, buddy.
I've never said that.
I've never said that.
I've never said that.
I'm not even positive what that means.
You just said that Tina Fey wrote the part for you and everything like that.
Like, just have some humility.
Okay.
No, she did write that part for me.
I'm not saying every job I get is written.
Okay.
Who do you want to know?
Why would you call me?
I'm calling you because you should be excited.
You're in the star of my podcast.
Okay, you're the star.
All right, the question is:
if you're in an alley, whose ass could you kick?
Bruce Willis' ass, Jason Statham's ass, Van Dam's ass, Danny Trejo's ass, Arnold's ass, John Cusack's ass, you know, who's the toughest fighter?
What are you talking about?
I don't know any of these people.
Okay, it would never be in a fight.
Okay, well, I told you that the premise of the show was Sylvester Sloan podcast, and I'm still only have a bunch of used-up questions for Sylvester Sloan, so I'm just, you can figure that out.
If you're who you're going to fight, would you be able to beat him?
You just said it was the Jack McBrair show where i am the star and people want to know questions about jack mcbray i don't know beans about jason statham and bruce willis and fighting them and then alex okay that doesn't mean anything to me okay all right all right all right fine you know what you're right you're right okay how about this this is from all right um okay uh all right i have another question
okay um jason kopek writes who wins in a 10-round fight today uh you or carl weathers
who of course played apollo cream rocky
again you you're you're barking up the wrong tree here, kid.
I've never been in a fight ever except with my brother and my sister.
Who won?
Who won?
Okay, first of all, who won?
Who won?
And does your brother look like Carl Weathers?
Oh, give me a break.
I'm just asking the question.
You are a defensive interviewer.
You're very defensive.
Okay.
Here are another.
I'm about to go out to dinner.
I'm about to go out to dinner with John Ham.
What, Ham?
Oh, my.
Can you get him on?
I would love to do a John Ham podcast.
Can we have him on the show?
No.
You're a real jerk.
Yep.
He hung up on me.
He hung up.
Great.
Well, it's either the Jack McBray podcast or the Sylvester Sloan podcast.
I'm not sure.
And we'll find out more and I'll get back to you tomorrow.
Thanksgiving's coming up.
If you guys have a place for me to eat, I would love that.
So
let me know on the message boards on Wolfpop.
Woohoo!
Love you.
And a special message to my wife.
I'd like to come home.
June, I'd like to come home.
Hey, everybody, welcome to the David Wayne podcast, formerly the Jack McBray podcast, formerly the Sylvester Sloan podcast.
I'm your host, Paul Scheer.
I'm sitting here with writer, actor, director David Wayne.
David, welcome to the show.
It's so good to be here.
And I've always wanted to lend my voice to the podcast medium.
And this is a great opportunity for the audience to get some of of my wisdom, some of my tidbits.
And I'm just really thrilled for the community of listeners and the world out there that they get a chance to hear what I have to say.
Well, this is great.
We're really going to get into it with you.
This is obviously, you know, we're a gradual series.
We'll start out with big ideas and get to some small stuff.
But let's just find out: what are you working on now?
Like, what do you, what's exciting?
It's like, what am I not working on?
I think of myself as a multi-hyphenate.
It's like writer, director, comedian.
I mean, no, gardener in my backyard,
Father, husband.
It's like, you name it, I'm doing it.
And so it's like projects, Hollywood stuff.
You're doing a lot of Hollywood stuff in it.
And you've recently made a trip out here to Los Angeles, right?
Yeah.
Well, I've become West Coast-based recently, and that's been, you know, a way to get into the, I feel like it's a lot of the heart of stuff in cable TV, network TV.
There's live stuff, you know.
But it must be hard.
You're away from your home for the holidays and, you know, probably, probably tough to even have plans for the holidays.
Well, you know, I mean, you know, it's just when I was in New York, my family's in Ohio.
Yeah.
And so I'll be
going with my family to Ohio to see my parents and my...
Oh, so you're going to go.
You're actually leaving LA and you're going to Ohio.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It'd be so fun to actually, I think, like even to go with you there to kind of get like, get into your family life and see what your dynamic is with your family.
You'd love it, Paul.
It's like
the jokes around the table.
I can imagine.
Well, I would actually, I would.
I actually would love it.
I would love to come.
If you're cool with having me come, obviously, I know that, you know, I mean that literally.
But, you know, if you,
in a funny way, as a bit, that's funny to say.
No, no.
Yeah, no, I would, I would know, I know.
Well, I mean, just, I mean, would it be weird?
Would it be weird?
I mean, I don't, I'm, right now, I don't have any Thanksgiving plans right now.
So
I'm free.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, it's in Ohio.
So we're, you know, it would be a plane flight and it's not.
I think I could, I would, I would swing it, I'd get some money together.
I would, I mean, if I could just, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, the thing is, it's like we have this table, and there's only so many chairs in the table, and it's like, and we, I actually did just
a second ago, I actually spoke to my sister, Beth, who is uh setting it all up, yeah, you know, and she said she that you're not invited,
so I can't, so I can't go.
It's the thing is, is that
you can't come because you're this is you know what this podcast is boring.
This is a boring podcast.
No one wants to no one cares about what you have to say about anything.
We're not doing this podcast anymore.
The David Wayne podcast, I thought.
No, yeah, it's done.
No one cares.
Because you know what?
I thought you were a nice guy.
I thought you were a guy who cared about your friends, and now you just shit on me.
I'm not sure.
I'm saying
you can't come to my Thanksgiving dinner, but everyone wants to know.
No one wants to know about you.
No one wants to know about you.
You're done.
All right.
This is no.
What a jerk.
I mean, oh, you're going back to Ohio and you don't have room for me?
I made a whole fucking podcast about you.
I mean, this is the kind of stuff, again, it's Hollywood.
Oh, so nice to your face.
And then when you ask them for something real, something tangible, they say no.
You know what?
Let this be a lesson to everyone out there who wants to be an actor, a writer, a director.
You know what?
Get used to being lied to because this is what this town is about.
This podcast was started on a lie told to me, and now my life is spiraling because of the liars here.
You think that there is support and there is no,
there's just no support.
It is Tuesday.
I currently do not have any plans for Thanksgiving and I should because I'm a great guest.
I bring games.
You want to put me on your categories team?
I'll fucking nail it.
Oh, want to do the, you know, mafia?
I can do that.
You want to do like a great like celebrity?
I fucking nail all those games.
So
if there is anyone out there, anyone who who wants to have a great celebrity uh at your party and i am a celebrity i was in the eddie murphy movie meet dave i was cut out but i was in it i met eddie murphy and you know what uh so think about that uh david wayne think about that
hello people of earth and welcome to the Sylvester Stallone podcast.
I am Paul Scheer.
Gobble, gobble.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Woo!
Oh, man.
Oh, geez, I gotta turn this down.
Studio is closed today, so I'm just cruising, cruising around and
just
checking out everybody out here in LA and seeing what's up.
What's up, LA?
Oh, this is strange.
I'm sorry.
This is, I'm not even paying attention.
I'm just...
You know, know ever you ever be driving you're not paying attention you're like how did I get here?
Uh wow, it's my old
house
Wonder what's going on in there today
Wonder what is happening there
It's like oh, it's Uncle Dave's car
Guess Jean decided to have everybody over.
You know, she never likes to have people over
I don't know what happened.
Oh, wow.
What am I thankful for?
Oh.
Oh, shit.
Shit.
Fuck.
Someone's coming up.
Someone's coming up.
I don't think they see me.
I don't think they see me.
Shut up.
Fuck up.
Oh, God, that was close.
So what am I thankful for?
Movies like Rocky.
You know, and Great Stories of Triumph, The Underdog.
You know, someone who everyone said, you're a failure.
You're not gonna get back up.
And then at the end of the movie, he got that interview.
I mean, he won that fight.
And then everyone, then he got a robot.
And one of the sequels after they got a fucking robot.
And that robot had a relationship with his trainer.
And that was all because he's an underdog.
And, you know, Thanksgiving is about underdogs.
And, you know, I may be whatever, you know, having myself a Subway turkey sub with meatballs.
Yeah, out of the box.
That's what I think.
And you can do that.
You just have to pay extra.
Just ask them, can I get a turkey sub with meatballs?
It's healthier.
And I'm just sitting in my car rocking out.
I'm a lone wolf.
Wolf.
And
yeah.
I hope you guys are eating some lone wolf or lone turkeys.
So anyway, this is uh this is me just saying if you see a Prius cruising around your neighborhood
raise a turkey leg for me because I'm out there I'm out there getting the job done doing the work
this is the Sylvester Sloan podcast and I am Paul Scheer and I am thankful for you
and to be away from people in my life who give me bullshit.
I don't need cranberry sauce one day a year
