The Sylvester Stallone podcast back from the dead. Gabriel Luna reveals a secret and some very good news about our amazing movie picking producer. All this and more on today's How Did This Get Made? Last Looks hit the theme. Sylvester Stallone's Summer. Oh, spendables and over the top, the specialist is stopped, but my mind will pop. Demolition man and Judge Curd too,

tango and cash are coming for you. Driven an Oscar, don't forget, rhinestone is the symbol Sylvester Stallone's Summer. Sylvester Stallone's Summer. Hello all my gallery urchins. I'm your host, Paul Scheer, and welcome to How Did This Get Made? Last Looks On Location.

That's right, I am recording this from a laundry room in Vancouver because I can't stop working. That's right, I'm on vacation. They say you got to do another Last Looks, so I get in the laundry room. I get my stuff together. Why?

Because I don't stop. Just like you don't stop, you, the listener, you are gonna 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. Bam! Thank you, Sean McBee, for that alt movie tagline.

I mean, I don't know if that's a tagline, as much as it is a movie burn. We should maybe open it up, Scott. It shouldn't just be taglines. Let's get the roast jokes going. I love this. A big shout out to the Action Jackson 5. They always bring the heat and they're helping us

kick off Stallone Summer with a sly centric opening theme song, I love that. That was awesome. And you know what? I don't think it can be displaced, but if you think, oh I'm better than the Action Jackson 5, well guess what? Take a shot.

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. Remember, keep them short, 15 to 20 seconds is best. And if you need to talk Stallone, if you need to get out your concerns, your worries about anything in the how did this get made

world, well, you just go to discord at discord.gg slash HDTGM. We got so much on today's show, but first some very good news. Our friend Andrew, who is Avery's partner on Movie Bitches, wrote us this week and actually posted on the movie bitches Instagram account about a little update. April just got some amazing MRI results that showed no more

tumors or growth. She is recuperating really, really well. 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 Avery's day. It has meant the world to her. It has meant the world to us for the people who have gotten up at the live shows and dedicated songs to Avery. It has been incredibly overwhelming.

When I got this news the other day, I was just overjoyed. So I wanted to say thank you so much for everyone sending her good wishes. We can continue sending her good wishes. She has a long road to recovery, but it has made a giant, giant difference. I said difference twice, but it's made a giant difference. So we really appreciate that. Now we also today are going to talk about some other stuff. That's right. We're going to be talking about Oscar. We're going to really get into this film.

We're really going to dive into what it got wrong. And there are so many things. My friend Drew reached out to me this week and said he worked in a theater in LA or in the LA outskirts where they were testing this movie. And he saw a cut that was 20 minutes longer. So how about that? So at the end of this episode, we will of course announce our next film,

but to start Stallone's summer off with a bang, I have a very special treat to share. About 10 years ago, I started a podcast called the Sylvester Stallone Podcast. It's a mini-series with the goal of talking to Sylvester Stallone about all of his amazing work. It was something that was 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. It has not been available anywhere in many, many years.

I have unearthed it from the Wolf Pop Vault. Now Wolf Pop was a failed podcast network that was launched in tandem with Ear Wolf that had some amazing shows on it, but I can talk about that later. Anyway, what you're gonna hear now is a selected bunch of highlights from the Stallone podcast. You're also gonna hear from people like Nicole, Rob Hubel, and of course, the one and only June Diane Raphael.

So stick around, because you don't wanna miss it. Now, I wanna thank everybody for buying tickets for How Did This Get Made and Dinosaur. People have been so amazing. I know times are tight right now, you guys have been supporting us so, so much. So I just wanna say thank you. I have nothing to plug, but I just wanna say

you are all absolutely amazing. 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 andrewatmoviebitches.xyz. He will give her anything that you send. And you can always send her something at P.O. Box 641, Agorahillscal California, 91376. So send her a message, tell her congratulations,

keep her spirits up, you've done an amazing job, and I think that it really, really is helping. All right, let's get into it. Last week we talked at length about Oscar. Well, we had questions, and we might've even missed a few things. Here is your chance to set us straight, fact check us, if you will.

It is now time for Corrections and Omissions. Corrections and omissions. Thank you, Llan Osborne, for that short but sweet theme song. Let's go to the Discord. Rob from Long Island writes, in response to the idea that sex cures pimples, it was cliche for a long time that having pimples is an indication that you're not having sex.

There's even a line from a song in Little Shabahars that says, a little nookie can clean up those zits. Wow, it's a really catchy little phrase. However, according to the Google machine, the notion that sex cures pimples is a common myth that is not supported by scientific evidence, 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." Okay, interesting. I mean, yeah, sure, that all makes sense. Now, Dr. Gutz, 10.03, 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.

Okay, very interesting, I like it, I get it, but you know, for all those people out there that are doing hardcore fucking to get rid of their pimples, you gotta stop, you gotta just take care of it. You just can't 69 the pimples out of there. 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. What was the point? They don't even bring him back for the end of film as a bookend, 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. 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. You know, here's what I thought, I didn't bring this up in the show, I feel like this was a friend of the production, right? Stallone met a guy in France who does claymation, I don't know why it was France, and he's like, oh, you gotta make up for my movie, it'll be great to have you in the movie, claymation guy.

Or like, he saw the California raisins and was like, oh, maybe I could be a raisin. Maybe he was a raisin, was he a raisin? I think he was in that puppet show where they all look like they had melted faces. Anyway, that was a favor, I know it was a favor, but what was so weird was, like as an animator, you're right, you would think maybe you could put a joke in there?

I don't know. We need to get to the bottom of that. That's what I need somebody to figure out. Cash Money Coward writes, you talked about how weird it was for the guy who wanted to convert the cash into jewels. This made me think about how pimps and gang members often flaunt their jewelry, which is seen as a sign of opulence.

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. Well, all right. Cash money coward bringing in some very important information. By the way, my grandfather was involved in a very serious money laundering scheme, 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, all of his assets were in things like gold pens, and he had a vintage phonograph record. So that does make sense, and it's just not for pimps and gang members, it's for the white collar criminals as well. S.S. Lizard writes, in the older French version of the movie, the daughter actually gets with Oscar in the end,

and the accountant in the French movie steals 60 million francs, which is equal to $1 million. So the $50,000 seems measly in comparison. Wow, SS Lizard, yeah, why would they lower the money? Why don't they get a lot more money? Oh wait, you know what? I think that the French version was in modern times. I think that that's the difference.

I think, not sure. Dr. Gutz is chiming in again, not just an acne expert, but also wants to say, in the episode they lament over the fact the film is lacking in stakes. A glaring example of this to me is the fact that Snaps never seems concerned or even aware of the fact the police have staked out his house.

Given how many people are going in and out of his house in just a 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. Oh, Dr. Gutz, you just came up with a great set piece.

Just how do the people get in and out of the house? I love that. But again, it feels like that might have been added at the very end. Oh, I guess it couldn't have been. I don't know. This movie is bad, right? It is legit been. I don't know, this movie is bad. It is legit bad and we always talk about this,

it's so easy to make light of plot holes, but these are giant plot holes. These are plot holes that are, these are not like the microscopic plot holes when you see people talking about the new James Gunn Superman. Well, technically, no, this is right in front of your face. Parascopic plot holes that when you see people like talking about the new James Gunn Superman's it will technically no This is like right in front of your face 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. Oh, that's great I mean, oh by the way, maybe even like a more modern like a birdcage era Nathan Lane 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. Maybe Kevin Kline then, or if we couldn't get him, Michael Keaton, because he's the best.

Whoa, Michael Keaton, Johnny Dangerously, I know we talked about that. By the way, if you wanna know more about Johnny Dangerously, Blank Check is doing a great series on Amy Heckerling and it's awesome. Okay, I like Michael Keaton, I think that that's really funny. But I guess he doesn't read Italian.

I guess he could've been Irish mob. Anyway, lastly, we have a phone call about this week's matinee episode on Stop or My Mom Will Shoot. Why? Because it's the Lone Summer and we open it up about this. Okay.

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 a metanet 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 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. 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. So his agent put the word out and pretended that they were talking to the film's director, Spottiswood. Stallone freaked out, says, give me the movie, give me the movie. And they let him get the movie's director, Spottiswoode, Stallone freaked out, said, give me the movie, give me the movie,

and they let him get the movie because they knew it was gonna tank. So, yeah, you know, go Arnold. Yeah, that's about it. Yes, that is true. And here's the best part about it. After that show, Gabriel Luna came backstage. You know Gabriel Luna, he's a fantastic actor,

we love him in so many things, from The Last of Us, Terminator, Dark Fate, you know, he's in FUBAR, he's the best, right? He's in The Terminalist right now, and he was up shooting Terminalist while we were doing our show. And he came backstage and he called Schwarzenegger to verify that story in front of us. Schwarzenegger agreed to it immediately. 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. Now, it's not the first time.

About three years ago, Arnold had verified this, telling the Hollywood Reporter it's 100% true. And there's a great book called The Last Action Hero where he talks about it even more. But all I'm gonna say is, Andrew, I'm glad about it even more. But all I'm gonna say is, Andrew, I'm glad you brought that up. And I'm glad that Gabriel Luna is a friend

of Arnold Schwarzenegger, so we got to hear it from the horse's mouth. Okay, so many great corrections and omissions this week, but we can only pick one that is the best. And the best one from this week, oh boy, this is gonna be really good, right? I mean, there's so many good ones in here, but I have to say, the one that kinda opened my eyes,

many things here, but Dr. Guts, you hit the nail on the head. The movie sets up the cops, and we don't really ever pay them off in a meaningful way. So Dr. Guts, 10.03, you are this week's winner. And what do you get? Nothing, but actually it's something. You get this amazing song from Sean Fogel.

Hit it. ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"]

["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] ["Nothing"] 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 HDTGM.com right there on the front page. All right, coming up after the break, you will hear from June, Nick Kroll, Rob Hubel, and more, as I bring in some clips from the long forgotten Sylvester Stallone podcast.

All right, we'll be right back and then after all that we're going to tell you what we're watching next week. Welcome back by now. I'm sure you've noticed that every Tuesday we re-release classic How Did This Get Made episodes. We are kicking off our Stallone summer and making everything about Stallone. So last week we did Stop Where My Mom Will Shoot. Now where are we going? Well to another classic over the top with guest Bobby Moynihan. So keep on checking out all of our replays of classic episodes every Tuesday. And now here is the Sylvester Stallone podcast. I made it 10 years ago right when I had my first son. That's why I made

it. I was stuck at home and I was like, well, let me talk to Stallone. All you need to know is I did book Stallone, but there was a small issue. All right, here we go. ["Salt and Sugar"] So obviously we haven't been able to contact Sylvester Stallone, but I actually am here

with a good friend of mine, Nick Kroll. How are you, Nick? Great, Paul. How are you doing? Great. We actually did Frank Stallone and Sly Stallone on Comedy Bang Bang and it was really well received and I thought maybe you might know Sly Stallone because your impression was so good.

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. I think you're very much able to answer a question as Sly Stallone. This one is from Jeremy Lockhart. What is a writing day like and how do you come up with some of your great catchy lines? Hey, yeah, Jeremy, it's a great question. Obviously, most people know me as an action star. Every guy who makes pictures, I love to work

in making show business, making pictures. Every day as a star, being a star, a movie, you gotta get up there and write it out. You know what I'm saying star movie, you gotta get it and write it out. You know, it's yeah I got ready do writing so I wake up about 4 a.m. I Go out I go I go drink like 12 eggs And I come home and do three hours of buys And now it's us, you know, but 730 and I sit down right, you know

Probably I can't write so good because my buys are throbbing at this point because I've done three hours of price So I do tries And when I double tries then I feel like I'm really ready to sit down at the keyboard and right now You know whatever I'm gonna come up with. Yeah the keyboard right now, you know, whatever I'm gonna come up with Yeah, it's gonna be you know kind of another Part of being in show business making a picture so that what I sit down right and

Like my my legs start to hurt because I haven't done a workout on my legs. And so there's tiny pickle legs. I got tiny little pickle legs. So I, so you know, then I call over my brother Frank Stallone. He come down and we talk out a couple of different lines. I actually got Frank Stallone here right now. Yeah, boy, Shay. I'm a really big fan. He writes great.

I write too. That's right. Me and Frank, you know, we're like the Coen brothers. You know, the Sloan brothers. People don't know that, man, you know. I write down the lines that people say he writes all the stage direction. Yeah, that's right. You know, he's good with dialogue. He's not so good with stage direction. So, so I say Guy Crosses, you know, Arnie Schwarzenegger, you know,

you know, the Go know the governor as I call him I stood I stood joke around with him because you know he left the business yeah and I go hey that's a good one Stone yeah so I go I go the governor crosses out of the jungle it's on fire and he sees a beautiful looking lady and then I'll have him say something like, she's the one I'm fighting. Yeah, I picked the wrong time to quit smoking because of the smoking hat.

That's right, Frankie's good with the catchphrase. That's the guy that needs to go with the catchphrase. So that's how I write some of the things I can't do without my buddy Frankie without ripping my bias Torching my tries and then uh, and then I go out for suits I go out a bias suit that looks like it makes me look at like a triangle. So it's I want everything I said in my tailor. I said, you know, give me a suit. That's all like 35 degrees

Not quite 45 degrees not a right angle. 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. Yeah, he looks good. He looks like a rhombus. Yeah, that's what I say. I don't want to look like a rhombus. So, you know, people don't think the Sloan brothers are smart,

but we know things like rhombus. You know, so then 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, he lacquers up the suit, he makes it extra shiny, and then, you know, and then I go, and then I go get a new penis pump, and uh, fill up that penis pump, and then, you know, I go to my trailer and tell him, you know, cut the balls. And then, then, you know, we got a 90-page script and we shoot it. And we go shoot it.

We get a bunch of international stars and we get raised of money. And we go make a movie. And it's a great time every time, you know, good business making pictures. One of those guys one time held me outside a window by my feet. Said he was going to drop me on my head. I said, do late. Unfortunately, Frankie's pawn in the bigger chess mansion, but he's a good supporter. But I love the kid. He's a good kid. Anyway, so that's what I do for the day. So thank you. If anybody can get in touch with Brian Bosworth, I'm trying to get him in the next

movie, so let me know. I love the boss. I love the boss. Anyway, signing off, Sly Snow, Frank Sloan. Never quit, follow your dreams, torch your tries out here. Bye. Ha ha ha ha. I like it.

That was fun, and so we got Frank and we got Sly in that one. Together, buddies forever, brothers, buddies. Man, I cannot get the theme just staying alive out of my head. I love, Frank Stallone is talented. He's a talented, a talented guy. Not as talented as his brother, which we based an entire podcast around.

So that is, that's that. 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? Have I what? Have I met him? Yeah. Have you ever met Sly?

No, of course not. He's a major, major celebrity. And you know that I have not met him. I mean, you and I are friends and I would have told 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. Well, I mean, but maybe like, I don't know, like a premiere or something like that? 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 give me a couple more minutes. I'm so sorry. 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, like, yeah, I remember, uh, 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 a movie, you saw like VHS boxes with sure. I can remember. Yeah. In like the, uh, late eighties or mid nineties, seeing things like Rambo and First Blood and yeah, even renting those movies. 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 mean, I think it seems like it really affected your life in a major way, right? That brought, would you say that? No, I would absolutely not. Let's be very clear about this. I couldn't, 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. Stop saying right. I don't. 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.

I feel like you could answer a question in the mindset of Stallone, right? Stop saying right. No, I'm, uh, I mean, just, just answer, just answer a question. All right. Just here. Uh, okay. Uh, great.

Uh, what this one's from Nick Bolton. He wrote what role took the largest physical toll on your body during filming? Well, first of all, who's Nick Bolton? He's a super fan, a Stallone super fan, and he wants to know what movie took the most toll on Sly Stallone. So what do you think as the biggest Sly Stallone fan? Again, I'm not the biggest Sly Stallone fan. I told you up front, I know who he is.

You did a movie with John Claude Van Damme, true or false? It's not pronounced John Claude Van Damme, it movie with John Claude Van Damme, true or false? It's not pronounced John 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 in Expendables. So by, I mean 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, no, yeah, not you, Stallone, but you're answering as Stallone, took the- That's why I said, that's why I said, which movie that I did. Yeah, not used alone, but you're answering as alone took the I said 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. I'm just saying well you all right So which movie took the largest physical toll on your body during filming?

Yo, I mean, it's gotta be like fucking over the top that arm wrestling movie and shit Yeah, because uh, I feel like an idiot I don't you that was great that was great that we've I feel we really got some insight to Stallone I feel like you really you see you do know him you were great that was great well anyway anyways um yeah it was over the top because it was arm wrestling I only use one of my arms so it got you shouldn't shouldn't use the voice, don't do the voice. Fuck man, why, alright.

I think we got it, I think we. Let me just explain why. Sure. Because I only used one of my arms 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 and the other.

Alright great, that sounds great, I like it. Great answer. See you do know right, great, that sounds great. I like it, great answer. See, you do know more than you, this is great. I think the fans wanna know this kind of stuff. Crab arms, thank you Rob Hubel. You're gonna get in a lot of trouble for this podcast. No, I won't. Fuck.

Didn't think he wouldn't, I didn't know him. Yeah, I thought, you know, I mean, well, positive, the positives of that, did a great impersonation of Stallone. That was a positive. But you couple, you probably tuned in late on, I don't even know how you can turn in late to a podcast because I'm gonna start it.

But it may be like a friend walked into the room, you're like, oh, is that Stallone? No, no, it's not. But is Robbie Able doing Stallone? Okay. No, you know what? Positive energy, positive vibes. I'm keeping it going. Stallone podcast is a success. It is going to be a success. Sylvester Stallone will be here. And if he is not here by Friday, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Hello, people of Earth and welcome to the Stallone podcast. I am your host, Paul Scheer.

And oh, you might notice that it sounds a little bit different. Well, that's because today I'm recording the podcast from my home. They wouldn't allow me in the studio because I didn't have Stallone as a guest. So I want to... What are you doing? I'm recording the podcast. Give it to me.

Give it to me. No. I don't want you recording it in Europe. Why? Please just give me the... I'm just doing the podcast. Just let me be, all right? Really embarrassing me. Why am I embarrassing you? He's really embarrassing me. I'm not embarrassing you podcast. Just let me be, all right? You're really embarrassing me.

Why am I embarrassing you? You're really embarrassing me. I'm not embarrassing you. He's not coming. Like seriously, what's going on? Nothing is going on. No, I'm doing this. I have to do this.

They want, the fans want to hear this. What fans? Paul, nobody cares. People are emailing me and texting me. They're worried. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. Who's texting you?

Who the fuck is texting you? A lot of our good friends. All right, you know what? Then why are you telling me this? I'm supposed to, I'm doing this podcast because you know what? It's popular and people want to hear it. And we're going to get Stallone.

We're going to get Stallone. And then you can tell all your friends like that bitch Brianna. You could tell her that. First of all, I cannot believe you just said that I love Brianna. You know she's a bitch. Okay, this isn't recording, is it?

You stopped it? What? I don't get, look, I have to do this. Please let me do this. She's gonna freak out. You called her a bitch on your podcast. This is not for air. Oh, so none of this is air?

What are you doing? This is so strange. Like, seriously, I don't know, I know we just had a baby. I don't know if this is you freaking out. I'm not freaking out, I'm fine. I'm fine. Well, he's not coming on the show. You don't know that.

Do you know him? Do you actually have a Stallone story? No, I don't have a Stallone story, Paul. It's a baby sleeping in the other room. Are you serious? Are you having like a meltdown? Like you've just become a dad and you're having a meltdown? I'm not having a meltdown. Is that manifesting in this way? No, I'm a podcast. I'm a podcaster, okay?

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? 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. You never support me.

You never get behind my ideas. 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 Dickface very great I was a serious regular in I have believed in every single thing that you have done I just did a guest star on the league on FX X I

played nurse Pam Paul I have been a huge support okay fine you win you win you win you win and I'm telling you as, as your wife, as your lover, as your friend, as your co-co- Let me tell you a story. Let me tell you a story. Podcast with you. This is not a podcast. I don't even know what this is.

This is like- Breaking Bad, Breaking Bad. No one brought Breaking Bad. No one brought Breaking Bad. And then AMC was the last one to buy it. And everyone said no, okay? So- You're gonna wait the baby baby needs or your voice.

I'm not going to lower my voice. I just, I have to do this. I have to do. I have a half hour material to get through tonight. I have no answers. No. No. I'll do it in the car.

I'll do it in my car. Give me back the microphone. Give me back your keys. Give me your keys. No, no, no. You're not going anywhere with this, Paul. You're not going in. No, this is an intervention.

This is an intervention. No, for what purpose? So he does- Because people wanna know this a long time. So he does come out. So he does come on. Does it end then? Does it end there?

Does it start with someone else? I would like to do a Daniel Day Lewis podcast. Oh my God. Because I think people are interested in him. So let their interests be, let it be. Let it be out there, let someone else take this torch. You know what, I'm gonna go to bed, I'm tired. All right.

I'm going to bed. Fine, I'm keeping this here, you're not taking it. Give it to me. No, get, get it! I'm not taking it, Paul. What's going on? Hey, hey, hey. I'm fine, I'm not taking it. No, get it, get it. I'm not taking it, Paul. What's going on? Hey, hey, hey. I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'm fine, just please, can you leave me alone? Please leave me alone, please. Leave me alone now, thank you. I just... Are you proud of me? Of course I am. Then let me do this. Let me do this podcast.

Just let me do it. I can't. You know, I have been taking heat in my home life. I've been taking heat, obviously, on the 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 and I figured, you know what, when you get a room, I think there's an old saying that if in a room of 100 people, at least five of them have met Sylvester Stallone. I think I read that somewhere or I don't know if that was in my meeting with Leonard Malt,

and he said that or someone has definitely said that. And so I decided to take that out 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. All right, here I am at 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? 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.

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? It was a little jarring. Jarring. Alright, so I think you're qualified to answer a question as Sylvester Stallone. Okay, this is sent in

by a fan. What was it like working on Cobra? Life-changing. Great, that works. Woo, I'll prove my point. In a room of a hundred people, at least one of them has met and had an interaction with Sylvester Stallone. Thank you. Hot damn, what do you think? I told you. 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. I mean, for the first time, I feel like reinvigorated that 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. I'm so happy that we're moving forward with the Sylvester Stallone podcast. 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.

What I need is to go on this journey by myself, like Jack, like fuck, like Jack Kerouac, that's his name, Jack. I'm such a fucking dumb, fucking dumb. Paul, he's 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.

And 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 gotta say, it is like a hotel. This is the Sylvester Stallone podcast. I am Paul Scheer. I am reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great.

I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great.

I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great.

I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. I'm reading the tools and I feel great. There is more Sylvester Stallone podcast coming up on Last Looks on next time's Last Looks because maybe Stallone will eventually show up. All right, it is now time to announce our next movie. We are going from a Stallone comedic bomb to a Stallone box office bomb. Come on, I don't have, I'm on vacation mode here. I'm doing the best with my puns.

That's right, we'll be continuing Stallone Summer with 2023's Expendables 4, which was meant for Stallone to pass the franchise off, but guess what? He couldn't do it. The movie is great. It stars Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Cochure, Tony Jaa, 50 Cent, and Andy Garcia.

Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie a 14% on the tomato meter and Adam Graham of the Detroit News says this dumb as rocks exercise and violence and stupidity represents a low for the franchise that was already scraping at the bottom of the barrel. Well, Adam, yes, but also cool? Anyway, listen to the trailer. You can stream Expendables 4 on Starz and Filo and rent it on Apple TV, Amazon and the Microsoft Store, which wow, okay. Never really plugged the Microsoft Store. And on a totally unrelated note, I encourage you to keep on checking out
