Speaker 14 Some very good news about our amazing movie picking producer.

Speaker 16 All this and more on today's How Did This Get Made?

Speaker 15 Last looks, hit the theme.

Speaker 3 Sylvester Stallone Summer.

Speaker 3 Sylvester Stallone Summer.

Speaker 18 Hello, all my gallery urchins.

Speaker 15 I'm your host, Paul Scheer, and welcome to How Did This Get Made? Last looks on location.

Speaker 19 That's right.

Speaker 21 I am recording this from a laundry room in Vancouver because I can't stop working.

Speaker 24 That's right.

Speaker 25 I'm on vacation.

Speaker 22 They say you got to do another last look. So I get in the laundry room.

Speaker 27 I get my stuff together. Why?

Speaker 21 Because I don't stop.

Speaker 9 Just like you don't stop.

Speaker 6 You, the listener.

Speaker 15 You are going to get a chance today to voice your issues on Oscar, a movie where the character Oscar was absent, just like this movie was absent from the Oscars.

Speaker 12 Bam!

Speaker 10 Thank you, Sean McBee, for that alt movie tagline.

Speaker 31 I mean, I don't know if that's a tagline as much as it is a movie burn.

Speaker 30 We should maybe open it up, Scott.

Speaker 29 It shouldn't just be taglines. Let's get the roast jokes going.

Speaker 24 I love this.

Speaker 32 Big shout out to the Action Jackson 5.

Speaker 16 They always bring the heat, and they're helping us kick off Stallone Summer with a sly-centric opening theme song.

Speaker 29 I love that.

Speaker 9 That was awesome.

Speaker 35 And you know what?

Speaker 33 I don't think it can be displaced.

Speaker 29 But if you think, oh, I'm better than the Action Jackson 5, well, guess what?

Speaker 26 Take a shot.

Speaker 8 See if you have what it takes to create a How Did This Get Made Last Looks theme song. Just go to hdtgm.com and click the submit a song button on our homepage.

Speaker 33 Remember, keep them short.

Speaker 37 15 to 20 seconds is best.

Speaker 15 And if you need to talk Stallone, if you need to get out your concerns, your worries about anything.

Speaker 16 in the how did this get made world well you just go to discord at discord.gg slash HDTGM.

Speaker 32 We got so much on today's show, but first, some very good news.

Speaker 23 Our friend Andrew, who is Averil's partner on Movie Bitches, wrote us this week and actually posted on the movie Bitches Instagram account about Avril.

Speaker 39 A little update.

Speaker 34 Avril just got some amazing MRI results that showed no more tumors or growth.

Speaker 28 She is recuperating.

Speaker 40 Really, really well.

Speaker 13 And I just want to say thank you so, so much to our entire How Did This Get Made audience from all around the world who have reached out and brought some joy into Averil's day.

Speaker 21 It has meant the world to her.

Speaker 29 It has meant the world to us.

Speaker 23 For the people who have gotten up at the live shows and dedicated songs to Avril, it has been incredibly overwhelming.

Speaker 9 When I got this news the other day, I was just overjoyed.

Speaker 34 So I wanted to say thank you so much for everyone sending her good wishes.

Speaker 29 We can continue sending her good wishes.

Speaker 13 She has a long long road to recovery, but it has made a giant, giant

Speaker 22 difference. It's a difference twice, but it's made a giant difference.

Speaker 30 So we really appreciate that.

Speaker 13 Now, we also today are going to talk about some other stuff.

Speaker 37 That's right. We're going to be talking about Oscar.

Speaker 43 We're going to really get into this film.

Speaker 18 We're really going to dive into what it got wrong.

Speaker 29 And there are so many things.

Speaker 27 My friend Drew reached out to me this week and said he worked in a theater in

Speaker 39 LA or in the LA outskirts where they were testing this movie.

Speaker 23 And he saw a cut that was 20 minutes longer.

Speaker 32 So how about that?

Speaker 38 So at the end of this episode, we will, of course, announce our next film.

Speaker 15 But to start Stallone's summer off with a bang, I have a very special treat to share.

Speaker 31 About 10 years ago, I started a podcast called the Sylvester Stallone Podcast.

Speaker 20 It's a mini-series with the goal of talking to Sylvester Stallone about all of his amazing work.

Speaker 14 It was something that was

Speaker 20 really hard to do, but I was so happy that I got to, you know, get inside the mind of one of our greatest actors. And I've edited some highlights right now of the Sylvester Stallone podcast.

Speaker 14 It has not been available anywhere in many, many years.

Speaker 29 I have unearthed it from the Wolfpop Vault.

Speaker 13 Now, Wolfpop was a failed podcast network that was launched in tandem with Earwolf that had some amazing shows on it, but I can talk about that later.

Speaker 9 Anyway, what you're going to hear now is a selected bunch of highlights from the Stallone podcast.

Speaker 19 You're also going to hear from people like Nick Kroll, Rob Hubel, and of course, the one and only June Diane Rayfield.

Speaker 29 So stick around because you don't want to miss it.

Speaker 27 Now, I want to thank everybody for buying tickets for How Did This Get Made and Dinosaur.

Speaker 33 People have been so amazing. I know times are tight right now.

Speaker 34 You guys have been supporting us so, so much.

Speaker 33 So, I just want to say thank you. I have nothing to plug, but I just want to say you are all absolutely amazing.

Speaker 34 And if you are still looking for an address for Avril, if you still want to send her something, you can always email her at andrew at moviebitches.xyz.

Speaker 13 He will give her anything that you send.

Speaker 33 And you can always send her something at P.O.

Speaker 38 Box641-Agora Hills, California, 91376.

Speaker 33 Okay, so send her a message.

Speaker 8 Tell her congratulations. Keep her spirits up.

Speaker 13 You've done an amazing job, and I think that it really, really is helping.

Speaker 16 All right, let's get into it.

Speaker 32 Last week, we talked at length about Oscar.

Speaker 23 Well, we had questions, and we might have even missed a few things.

Speaker 8 Here is your chance to set us straight.

Speaker 19 Fact-check us, if you will.

Speaker 7 It is now time for corrections and omissions.

Speaker 4 Corrections and

Speaker 12 omissions.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Thank you, Elon Osborne, for that short but sweet theme song.

Speaker 40 Let's go to the Discord.

Speaker 20 Rob from Long Island writes, in response to the idea that sex cures pimples, it was cliché for a long time that having pimples is an indication that you're not having sex.

Speaker 31 There's even a line from a song in Little Shop of Horrors that says, a little nookie can clean up those zits.

Speaker 22 Wow, it's a really catchy.

Speaker 18 catchy little phrase.

Speaker 24 However, according to the Google Machine, the notion that sex cures pimples is a common myth that is not supported by scientific evidence.

Speaker 14 While sexual activity does have several positive effects on the body that might indirectly improve skin health, it doesn't directly treat or prevent acne.

Speaker 38 Okay, interesting.

Speaker 29 I mean, yeah, sure, that all makes sense.

Speaker 29 Now, Dr.

Speaker 20 Gutz 1003 adds, I assumed the implication was that teenagers get pimples and that once you have sex, you become a man. Or Dr.
Gutz, a woman, which would mean that your pimples vanish at that point.

Speaker 37 Okay, very interesting.

Speaker 10 I like it.

Speaker 9 I get it. But, you know, for all those people out there that are doing hardcore fucking to get rid of their pimples, you got to stop.

Speaker 27 You got to just take care of it.

Speaker 13 You just can't 69 the pimples out of there.

Speaker 20 Johnny Unusual writes, in talking about how weird it is to keep the claymation opera singer in the corner of the screen for most of the credits, I'd like to add it's also weird to pay that much for animation to have no jokes or anything exciting for him to do.

Speaker 15 What was the point?

Speaker 25 They don't even bring him back for the end of the film as a bookend.

Speaker 8 Even though the end credits feature more of that same singer, you probably could have had that same effect with an opera singer doing it for less money.

Speaker 23 Now, I love animation and rarely ask for less of it in the films, but it's confounding to have no funny business nor exciting visual flair.

Speaker 8 You know, here's what I thought.

Speaker 20 I didn't bring this up in the show.

Speaker 39 I feel like...

Speaker 9 This was a friend of the production, right?

Speaker 19 Stallone met a guy in France who does claymation.

Speaker 34 I don't know why it was France.

Speaker 12 And he's like, oh, you got a, you got to make up from a movie. It'd be great to have you in the movie, claymation guy.

Speaker 14 Or like he saw the California Raisins and was like, oh, maybe I could be a raisin.

Speaker 8 Maybe he was a raisin. Was he a raisin?

Speaker 24 I think he was in that puppet show where they all looked like they had melted faces.

Speaker 9 Anyway, that was a favor. I know it was a favor.
But what was so weird was,

Speaker 33 like, as an animator, you're right.

Speaker 38 You would think maybe you could put a joke in there?

Speaker 18 I don't know.

Speaker 10 We need to get to the bottom of that.

Speaker 30 That's what I need somebody to figure out.

Speaker 20 Cash Money Coward writes, you talked about how weird it was for the guy who wanted to convert the cash into jewels.

Speaker 19 This made me think about how pimps and gang members often faunt their jewelry, which is seen as a sign of opulence.

Speaker 13 But actually, it stems from the thought that if arrested by police, the cops can take your cash, but they have to give your jewelry back.

Speaker 37 Wow. All right.

Speaker 29 Cash money coward bringing in some very important information.

Speaker 24 By the way, my grandfather was involved in a very serious money laundering scheme.

Speaker 34 which is a whole other story that I can't get into. But the person above him, the real guilty person who did jail time,

Speaker 29 all of his assets were in things like gold pens and he had a vintage phonograph record.

Speaker 9 So that does make sense.

Speaker 29 And it's just not

Speaker 14 for pimps and gang members.

Speaker 10 It's for the white-collar criminals as well.

Speaker 27 SS Lizard writes, in the older French version of the movie, the daughter actually gets with Oscar in the end.

Speaker 24 And the accountant in the French movie steals 60 million francs, which is equal to $1 million.

Speaker 30 So the $50,000 seems measly in comparison.

Speaker 38 Wow, SS Lizard, yeah, why would they lower the money?

Speaker 41 Why don't they get a lot more money?

Speaker 40 Oh, wait, you know what?

Speaker 23 I think that the French version was in modern times.

Speaker 24 I think that that's the difference.

Speaker 12 I think?

Speaker 26 Not sure. Dr.

Speaker 34 Guts is chiming in again, not just an acne expert, but also wants to say...

Speaker 24 In the episode, they lament over the fact the film is lacking in stakes.

Speaker 28 A glaring example of this to me is the fact that Snaps never seems concerned or even aware of the fact that the police have staked out his house.

Speaker 10 Given how many people are going in and out of his house in just the span of a few hours, it would have made the film so much better if Snaps had been either worried or strategic about who was seen coming and going, or at the very least, have him acknowledge that they're watching by waving to them or taunting them.

Speaker 26 Oh, Dr.

Speaker 30 Guts, you just came up with a great set piece.

Speaker 24 Just how do the people get in and out of the house?

Speaker 31 I love that.

Speaker 24 But again, It feels like that might have been added at the very end.

Speaker 11 Oh, I guess it couldn't have been.

Speaker 23 I don't know.

Speaker 35 This movie is bad.

Speaker 16 It is legit bad.

Speaker 20 And we always talk about this. Like,

Speaker 35 it's so easy to, you know, make

Speaker 9 light of, you know, plot holes, but these are giant plot holes.

Speaker 22 These are plot holes that are, these are not like the microscopic plot holes that when you see people like talking about the new James Gunn Superman.

Speaker 29 So well, technically, no, this is like right in front of your face.

Speaker 42 Danny the Wall writes, the original Danny DeVito version of the movie would have been great, but my first round draft for an alternate to Sly would be Nathan Lane.

Speaker 41 Oh, that's great.

Speaker 24 You know, by the way, maybe even like a more modern, like a birdcage era Nathan Lane.

Speaker 14 Although I think Lane was still doing Broadway at that time, and I'm sure the studios would have wanted a name with a bigger draw.

Speaker 38 Maybe Kevin Klein then, or if we couldn't get him, Michael Keaton, because he's the best.

Speaker 19 Whoa, Michael Keaton, Johnny Dangerously.

Speaker 24 I know we talked about that.

Speaker 13 By the way, if you want to know more about Johnny Dangerously, Blank Check is doing a great series on Amy Heckerling, and it's awesome.

Speaker 20 Okay, I like Michael Keaton.

Speaker 24 I think that that's really really funny.

Speaker 16 But I guess he doesn't like read Italian.

Speaker 29 I guess he could have been like Irish mob.

Speaker 24 Anyway, lastly, we have a phone call about this week's matinee episode on Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.

Speaker 18 Why?

Speaker 42 Because it's Stallone's summer and we open it up about this.

Speaker 31 Okay.

Speaker 45 Hey, Paul, this is Andrew. I'm a long time listener, first-time caller.
I was just listening to your Stop or My Mom Will Shoot matinee.

Speaker 45 And you guys asked why Stallone would have possibly done this movie. I'm sure this has been discussed by now, and you already know this.

Speaker 45 But just in case you didn't, Arnold Schwarzenegger really needed a hit and he wanted to catch up to Stallone. And he said the only way I can catch up with Stallone is if he has a stumble.

Speaker 45 So being the prankster that he is, he told his agent to tell Stallone's agent that he was really interested in Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot because they had both received the script.

Speaker 45 So his agent put the word out and pretended that they were talking to the film's director, Spottiswood. Stallone freaked out and says, give me the movie, give me the movie.

Speaker 45 And they, yeah, they let him get the movie because they knew it was going to tank. So, yeah, you know, go, Arnold.
Yeah, that's about it.

Speaker 35 Yes, that is true.

Speaker 24 And here's the best part about it.

Speaker 23 After that show, Gabriel Luna came backstage.

Speaker 13 You know, Gabriel Luna, he's a fantastic actor.

Speaker 39 We love him in so many things.

Speaker 20 From The Last of Us, Terminator, Dark Fate, you know, he's in Fubar.

Speaker 9 He's the best, right?

Speaker 39 He's on the terminal list right now, and he was upshooting the terminal list while we were doing our show.

Speaker 29 And he came backstage and he called Schwarzenegger to verify that story in front of us. Schwarzenegger agreed to it immediately.

Speaker 26 It was truly one of the best how did this get made moments to be talking to Arnold Schwarzenegger to get that rumor completely verified.

Speaker 29 Now, it's not the first time.

Speaker 31 About three years ago, Arnold had verified this, telling the Hollywood Reporter it's 100% true.

Speaker 24 And there's a great book called The Last Action Hero where he talks about it even more.

Speaker 13 But all I'm going to say is, is, Andrew, I'm glad you brought that up.

Speaker 14 And I'm glad that Gabriel Luna is a friend of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Speaker 10 So we got to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Speaker 19 Okay.

Speaker 20 So many great corrections and omissions this week, but we can only pick one that is the best.

Speaker 23 And the best one from this week.

Speaker 13 Oh boy, this is going to be really good, right?

Speaker 20 I mean, there's so many good ones in here, but I have to say, the one that kind of opened my eyes,

Speaker 40 many things here, but Dr.

Speaker 38 Guts, you hit the nail on the head.

Speaker 43 The movie sets up the cops, cops and we don't really ever pay them off in a meaningful way.

Speaker 16 So Dr.

Speaker 10 Guts, 1003,

Speaker 27 you are this week's winner. And what do you get?

Speaker 23 Nothing, but actually, it's something.

Speaker 24 You get this amazing song from Sean Fogel.

Speaker 29 Hit it.

Speaker 29 You win!

Speaker 25 Welcome back by now.

Speaker 16 I'm sure you've noticed that every Tuesday we re-release classic How Did This Get Made episodes.

Speaker 20 We are kicking off our Stallone summer and making everything about Stallone.

Speaker 24 So last week, we did Stop on My Mamo's shoot.

Speaker 21 Now,

Speaker 12 where where are we going?

Speaker 31 Well, to another classic over the top with guest Bobby Moynihan.

Speaker 16 So keep on checking out all of our replays of classic episodes every Tuesday.

Speaker 29 And now, here is the Sylvester Stallone podcast.

Speaker 34 I made it 10 years ago, right when I had my first son.

Speaker 24 That's why I made it.

Speaker 20 I was stuck at home and I was like, well, let me talk to Stallone.

Speaker 14 All you need to know is I did book Stallone, but there was a small issue.

Speaker 10 All right, here we go.

Speaker 17 so obviously

Speaker 17 we haven't been able to contact Sylvester Stallone but I actually am here with a good friend of mine Nick Kroll and how are you Nick great Paul how you doing great you know we actually did Frank Stallone and Sly Stallone on comedy bang bang and it was really well received and I thought maybe you know You might know Sly Stallone because your impression was so good.

Speaker 17 Do you know him? I don't know him personally, but I feel like I know him having done an impression of him on comedy bang bang. That's great.
That actually is great.

Speaker 17 I think you're very much able to answer a question as Sly Stallone then. So this one is from Jeremy Lockhart.

Speaker 17 What is a writing day like, and how do you come up with some of your great catchy lines?

Speaker 17 Yeah,

Speaker 17 Jeremy,

Speaker 17 it's a great question. I mean, you know, obviously, most people know me as an action star.

Speaker 17 I'm a guy who makes pictures. You know, i love to work is making show business making pictures but

Speaker 17 you know every day as a start you know being a star movie you gotta get it there and write it out you know what i'm saying yeah i gotta write it do writing so i i wake up about 4 a.m

Speaker 17 i go out i go i go drink like uh 12 eggs

Speaker 17 and then uh I come home and do three hours of buys.

Speaker 17 Now it's, you know, about 7:30.

Speaker 17 And I sit down and write. You know, the problem is I can't write so good because my buys are throbbing at this point because I've done three hours of buys.

Speaker 17 So I do tries.

Speaker 17 And when I double tries, then I feel like I'm really ready to sit down at the keyboard and write out, you know, whatever I'm going to come up with. Yeah, it's going to be, you know, kind of another

Speaker 17 part of being in a showboard and making a picture.

Speaker 17 So at that point,

Speaker 17 I sit down and write, and then, you know, I could,

Speaker 17 my legs start to hurt because I haven't done the work on any legs. And so there's tiny pickle legs.
I got tiny little pickle legs.

Speaker 17 And then I call over my brother Frank Stallone. He comes down and

Speaker 17 we talk out a couple of different lines. I actually got Frank Stallone here right now.

Speaker 48 Hey, you're bullshit.

Speaker 17 Hey, I'm really big fan.

Speaker 48 You know, he writes great. I write too.

Speaker 17 That's right. Me and Frank, you know, we're like the Clone brothers, you know, the Stallone brothers.

Speaker 48 People don't know that, but, you know, I write all the lines that people say he writes all the stage traction.

Speaker 17 Yeah, that's right. You know, he's kids good with dialogue.
He's not so good with, you know, stage race. So, so, like, I say, guy crosses, you know, Arnie Schwartz and I, you know,

Speaker 17 you know, the governator, that's what I call him. I still I still joke around with him because, you know, he left the business.
Yeah, and I go, hey, that's a good one story.

Speaker 48 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Yeah, so I go, I go,

Speaker 17 The governator crosses, uh, out of the jungle, it's on fire, and uh

Speaker 17 he sees uh beautiful looking lady and uh and and then I'll have him say something like uh she's the one on fire.

Speaker 48 Yeah, I quit I I picked the wrong time to quit smoking'cause you're smoking hot.

Speaker 17 That's right. That's uh Frankie's good with the catchphrase.
That's the guy with he's the one who's good with the catchphrase. So that's all right.

Speaker 17 Some of the thing, you know, I can't do without my boy Frankie without ripping my bias torching my tries.

Speaker 17 And then I go out for suits. I go out and buy a suit that

Speaker 17 makes me look like a triangle. So it's

Speaker 17 all angles. I want everything.
I said to my tailor, I said, well, you know, give me a suit that's all like 35 degrees. Not quite 45 degrees, not a right angle.
You know what I mean? 35 degrees.

Speaker 48 Yeah, he looks good. He looks like a rhombus.

Speaker 17 Yeah, it's I say.

Speaker 17 I don't want to look like a rhombus.

Speaker 17 So, you know, I you know, people don't think the Sloan Brothers are smart, but we know we know things like rhombus, you know, so so then I g and then I go I go to my shine guy, I take it from the suit guy, the tailor, and then I go to another guy who's a lacquer guy, and he lacquers up the suit, he makes it extra shiny, and then, you know, and then I go, uh, and then I go get a new penis pump and uh f fill out that penis pump, and then you know, I go to my trailer and tell them, you know, a couple balls.

Speaker 17 And then,

Speaker 17 yeah, we got a 90-page script and we shoot it. And we go shoot it.
We get a bunch of international stars and get raising money. And we go make a, you know, we're going to make a movie.

Speaker 17 And it's a great time, every time, you know, good business making pictures.

Speaker 48 One of those guys one time held me outside a window by my feet. So he was going to drop me on my head.
I said, too late.

Speaker 17 Unfortunately, Frankie's pawn in the bigger chess match at times. But he's a good sport of God.
I love the kid. He's a good kid.
Anyway, so that's what I do to film for the day. So thank you.

Speaker 17 If anybody can get in touch with Brian Bosworth, I'm trying to get him in the next movie. So let me know.

Speaker 48 Good love, the boss.

Speaker 17 I love the boss. Anyway, signing off, Sly Snow, Frank Slow.

Speaker 17 Never quit. Follow your dreams.
Torch your tries.

Speaker 17 Bye.

Speaker 17 I like him.

Speaker 17 That was fun. And so we got a little, we got Frank and we got Sly in that one together, buddies forever, brothers, brothers, buddies.

Speaker 17 Man, I cannot get that the theme to staying alive out of my head. I love Frank Stallone is talented.
He's a talented, talented guy. Not as talented as his brother, which we based an entire

Speaker 17 podcast around. So that is, that's that.

Speaker 17 I'm here with Rob Hubel, a good friend of mine. He works all the time in a million different TV shows and movies.
And I'm sure that, Rob, you have met Sylvester Stallone, right?

Speaker 17 Have I what? Have I met him? Yeah, have you ever met Sly? No, of course not.

Speaker 17 He's a

Speaker 17 major celebrity, and you know that I have not met him. I mean, you and I are friends, and I would have told you if I'd ever met him.

Speaker 17 Well, I mean, but maybe, like, I don't know, like at a premiere or something like that?

Speaker 17 No, I would have fucking just mentioned it just now. We're talking about Sylvester Stallone.
I don't have time. What are we talking about? Just get barely, just give me a couple more minutes.

Speaker 17 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 17 I didn't mean to bother you, but like, just think, like, you ever, like, like, how about like, was there like a, I don't know, like, oh yeah, yeah, like like yeah I remember I mean yeah, I mean I've seen his like in a video store I remember seeing like movies of his on the shelf you saw okay, so you saw movie you saw like VHS boxes with sure I can remember yeah in like the late 80s or mid-90s seeing things like Rambo and First Blood and yeah, even renting those movies.

Speaker 17 So yeah, sure, I guess if you think that that means that I've met him, then yes, I met him. I think it's really, I think it seems like it really affected your life in a major way, right?

Speaker 17 That brought, could you, would you say that?

Speaker 17 No, I would absolutely not. Let's be very clear about this.

Speaker 17 I couldn't be more clear. He has not affected my life at all.
I know who he is because he's a movie star. Right.
I don't stop saying right. I don't.

Speaker 17 I just feel like when someone is a movie star, we kind of know who they are. And I feel like that makes you able to answer a question.

Speaker 17 I feel like you could answer a question in the mindset of Stallone, right?

Speaker 17 No. Stop saying right.
No. I'm.

Speaker 17 I mean,

Speaker 17 just just answer, just answer a question. All right, just here.

Speaker 17 Okay, great.

Speaker 17 This one's from Nick Bolton. He wrote, what role took the largest physical toll on your body during filming?

Speaker 17 Well, first of all, who is Nick Bolton? He's a super fan, a Stallone Super fan, and he wants to know

Speaker 17 what movie took the most toll on Sly Stallone. So, you know, what do you think? As the biggest Sly Stallone fan.

Speaker 17 Again, I'm not the biggest Sly Stallone fan. I told you up front, I know that he's a, I know who he is.
You did a movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme, true or false?

Speaker 17 It's not pronounced Jean-Claude Van Damme. It's pronounced Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Yes, I did a movie called Welcome to the Jungle with Jean-Claude Van Damme. And he was inexpendable.
So

Speaker 17 by the Kevin Bacon method, you are almost like best friends with Sylvester Stallone. Okay, fine.
What is the question? Which movie that I did? Yeah, took the...

Speaker 17 No, yeah, not you, Stallone, but you're answering as Stallone.

Speaker 17 that's why i said which movie that i did well you didn't do a voice i have to do a fucking voice of stallone all right all right well you all right so which movie took the largest physical toll on your body during filming yo i mean it's got to be like fucking over the top that arm wrestling movie and shit

Speaker 17 yeah because uh I feel like an idiot. I know.
That was great. That was great.
I feel like we really got some insight to Stallone. I feel like you really, you see, you do know him.
You were great.

Speaker 17 That was great.

Speaker 17 Anyways, yeah, it was over the top because it was arm wrestling. I only used one of my arms.

Speaker 17 Maybe you shouldn't use the voice. Don't do the voice.
Fuck, man.

Speaker 17 All right. I think we got it.
I think we got it. Can we just explain why over the top? Sure.
Because I only use one of my arms.

Speaker 17 And so obviously that arm would get really out of proportion with the rest of my body. And I'd look like a fucking crab, you know, with a giant arm and then one little tiny claw on the other.

Speaker 17 All right, great. That sounds great.
I like it. Great answer.
See, you do know more than you. This is great.
I think the fans want to know this kind of stuff. Crab arms.
Thank you, Rob Pupil.

Speaker 17 You're going to get in a lot of trouble for this podcast. No, I won't.

Speaker 4 Fuck.

Speaker 17 Didn't think he wouldn't. I didn't know him.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 17 I thought, you know, I mean, well, what positives? The positives of that. He did a great impersonation to Stallone.

Speaker 17 That was a positive. But you couple you probably tuned in late.

Speaker 17 I don't even know how you can tune in late to a podcast because you got to start it.

Speaker 17 But it may be like if a friend walks into the room, you're like, oh, is that Stallone? No, no, it's not. But is Rob Hubel doing Stallone?

Speaker 17 Okay. No, you know what? Positive energy, positive vibes.
I'm keeping it going. Stallone podcast is a success.

Speaker 17 It is going to be a success. Sylvester Stallone will be here.
And if he is not here by Friday,

Speaker 17 I don't know what. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Speaker 17 I don't know what I'm going to do.

Speaker 17 Hello, people of Earth, and welcome to the Stallone Podcast. I am your host, Paul Scheer.

Speaker 17 No, I'm a podcaster. I'm a podcaster, okay?

Speaker 17 First of all, you're an actor on a highly rated cable show. This is embarrassing what you're doing.
This is about me connecting with people, okay? You know what?

Speaker 17 And if I can't connect with you, I'll connect with somebody else. And everyone likes this.
I don't know why you don't like this. And you never support me.
You never get behind my ideas.

Speaker 17 I really resent that you're saying that. I actually really resent that.
I've gotten behind every, every oh, bullshit. Bullshit.
Bull. I don't care.
Oh,

Speaker 17 I was a serious regular NTSC. I have believed in every single thing that you have done.
I just did a guest star on the league on FXX. I played Nurse Pam.
Paul, I have been a huge supporter.

Speaker 17 You're fine. You win.
You win. You win.

Speaker 17 And I'm telling you, as your wife, as your lover, as your friend, as your co- Let me tell you a story. Let me tell you a story.

Speaker 17 This is not a podcast. I don't even know what this is.
This is like breaking bad, breaking bad. No one bought breaking bad.
No one bought breaking bad. And then AMC was the last one to buy it.

Speaker 17 And everyone said no. Okay.
So

Speaker 17 you're going to wait. You need to lower your voice.
I'm not going to lower my voice.

Speaker 17 I have to do this. I have to do it.

Speaker 17 I have a half an hour material to get through tonight.

Speaker 17 The answer is no. What do you mean the answer is no?

Speaker 17 I'll do it in a car. I'll do it in my car.

Speaker 17 Give me back that microphone.

Speaker 17 Where are your keys? Give me your keys.

Speaker 17 You're not going anywhere with this, Paul. You're not going anywhere.
No, this is an intervention. This is an intervention.
No, you won't. For what purpose?

Speaker 17 So he does.

Speaker 17 So he does come. So he does come on.
Does it end then? Does it end there?

Speaker 17 Does it start with someone else?

Speaker 17 I would like to do like a Daniel Day-Lewis podcast. Oh, my God.

Speaker 17 Because I think people are interested in him.

Speaker 17 So let their interest be. Let it be.
Let it be out there. Let someone else take this torch.
You know what? I'm going to go to bed. I'm tired.
All right. I'm going to bed.
Fine. I'm keeping this here.

Speaker 17 You're not taking it torch.

Speaker 17 You're not taking it, Paul.

Speaker 17 What's going on?

Speaker 17 Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 17 I'm fine. I'm fine.
Just please, can you leave me alone? Please, leave me alone. Please, leave me alone now.
Thank you.

Speaker 17 I just

Speaker 17 are you proud of me?

Speaker 17 Of course I am.

Speaker 17 Let me do this.

Speaker 17 Let me do this podcast.

Speaker 17 Just let me do it.

Speaker 17 I can't.

Speaker 17 You know, I have been

Speaker 17 taking heat in my home life. I've been taking heat, obviously, on the boards.
but you know, the people who don't take heat from are the people that come out to see live shows.

Speaker 17 And I figured, you know what? When you get a room, I think there's an old saying that if in a room of a hundred people, at least five of them have met Sylvester Stallone.

Speaker 17 I think I read that somewhere, or I don't know if that was in my meeting with Leonard Malton. He said that, or

Speaker 17 someone has definitely said that. And so I decided to take that out

Speaker 17 to see if that actually works. So I brought us to the UCB theater to find out who has met Sylvester Stallone.
So take a listen.

Speaker 17 All right, here I am at the UCB Theater.

Speaker 17 And I am convinced that someone in this crowd has met Sylvester Stallone. Let me go out here and see.
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone?

Speaker 17 Not that I can remember. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? I have not.
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No.
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No.

Speaker 17 Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No, I haven't.
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No.

Speaker 17 Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No.
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? Not yet. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No.

Speaker 17 Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? Only in my dreams.
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No.

Speaker 17 Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone?

Speaker 17 No.

Speaker 17 Hold on. Going around with this side of the audience.
Have you?

Speaker 17 Hold on. Have you ever met Sylvester Saloon? No.
Have you ever met Sylvester Sloan? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No.
Have you ever met Sylvester Shalloan? No.

Speaker 17 Have you ever met Sylvester Salone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Salone? No.
I'm just kidding. Yes or no? No.
Yes or no? Yes. Yes! When, how, what? The Broadway opening of Rocky the Musical.

Speaker 17 He was there, and what were you doing there? I was just there because my friend worked on it. Okay,

Speaker 17 did he talk to you? I shook his hand. Did he look you in the eye? Yeah.
And what did he say? He just patted me on the back. How did it feel?

Speaker 17 It was a little jarring. Jarring.
All right, so I think you're qualified to answer a question as Sylvester Stallone, okay? This is sent in by a fan.

Speaker 17 What was it like working on Cobra?

Speaker 17 Life-changing. Great.
That works. Woo, prove my point.

Speaker 17 In a room of 100 people, at least one of them has met and had an interaction with Sylvester Stallone. Thank you.

Speaker 17 Hot damn. What do you think?

Speaker 17 I told you that that phrase is right. In a room of a couple hundred people, at least five of them have met Sylvester Stallone.
And what a great story.

Speaker 17 I mean, mean we we got for the first time i feel like reinvigorated that we've we've figured this out and i'm going into the weekend happy and purposeful and i just feel really good about all of this um i'm so happy that we are we're moving forward with the Sylvester Stallone podcast.

Speaker 17 I am living in a hotel now and I'm able to focus so much more on this. And I don't need, I don't need the nagging wife.
I don't need the comment boards.

Speaker 17 What I need need is to go on this journey by myself like Jerry Kerr, like fuck, like Jack Kerowak. That's his name.
Jack,

Speaker 17 so fucking dumb. Paul, you're fucking dumb.
I need to go about this. I'm going on the road.
I'm going on the road. I'm going to find him.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 17 I am, you know what? I don't know the difference between a hotel and a motel, but I never stayed at a motel before. And I got to say, it is like a hotel.

Speaker 17 This is the Sylvester Stallone podcast. I am Paul Scheer.
I am reading the tools and I feel great.
