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 Summer Expendables are over the top. The specialists will stop or my mom will pop. Demolition man and Judge Dredd 2 Tango Ren Cash are coming for you. Driven and Oscar. Don't forget Rhinestone. This is Summer. Sylvester. Sylvester Stallone 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 look. So I get in the laundry room, I get my stuff together. Work. Why? Because I don't stop. Just like you don't stop. You the listener. 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. Bam. Thank you, Sean McBee, for that alt movie tagline. I don't know if that's a tagline as much as 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 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 hdtgm. We got so much on today's show, but first, some very good news. Our friend Andrew, who is Avril's partner on Movie Bitches, wrote us this week and actually posted on the Movie Bitches Instagram account about Avril, a little update. Avril 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 Avril'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 Avril, 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 gonna be talking about Oscar. We're gonna really get into this film. We're really gonna 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 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 miniseries which 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 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 wolfpop vault. 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. Anyway, what you're going to hear now is a selected bunch of highlights from the Stallone podcast. You're also going to hear from people like Nick Kroll, Rob Hubel, and of course, the one and only June Diane Rayfield. So stick around because you don't want to miss it. Now, I want to 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 want to say thank you. I have nothing to plug, but I just want to 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 Andrew at Movie Bitches xyz. He will give her anything that you send. And you can always send her something at P.O. box 641, Agora Hills, California, 91376. Okay, 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 have 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 omission. Thank you, Elon 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. And 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 Shop of Horrors that says, a little nookie can clean up those zits. Wow, that'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 improves skin health, it doesn't directly treat or prevent acne. Okay, interesting. I mean, yeah, sure, that all makes sense now. DrGutts1003 adds. I assumed the implication was that teenagers get pimples and that once you have sex, you become a man or Dr. Guts, 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 the 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. I didn't bring this up in the show. I feel like this was a friend of the production, right? Stallone met a. A guy in France who does claymation. I don't know why it was France. And he's like, oh, you gotta. You gotta make it from a movie. It'll be great to have you. A 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 arrested by police, the cops can take your cash, but they have to give your jewelry back. Wow. 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 like a vintage phonograph record. So that does make sense. And it's just not for. For pimps and gang members. It's for the white collar criminals as well. SS 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. Guts 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 that the police have. 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. Guts, 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. This movie is bad. It is legit bad. And we always talk about this like it's so easy to, you know, make light of, you know, plot holes. But these are giant plot holes. 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. So. Well, 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 to Sly would be Nathan Lane. Oh, that's great. You know, 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 Klein 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 want to know more about Johnny Dangerously, Blank Check is doing a great series on Amy Hickerling and it's. It's awesome. Okay. I like Michael Keaton. I think that that's really funny. But I guess he doesn't like, read Italian. I guess he could been like 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 Stallone summer and we open it up about this. Okay.
- [13:30]
Andrew
Hey, Paul, this is Andrew. I'm a longtime listener, first time caller. I was just listening to your Stop or My mom will shoot matinee and you guys asked why Stallone would have possibly done this movie. I am sure this been discussed by now and you already know this, but just in case he 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 freaks out, says, give me the movie. Give me the movie. And they, yeah, they let him get the movie because they knew it was gonna tank. So, yeah, you know, go Arnold. Yeah, that's about it.
- [14:23]
Paul Scheer
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 terminal list right now. And he was up shooting Terminalists 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, 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 going to 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 kind of 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. Guts1003, you are this week's winner. And what do you get? Nothing. But actually, it's something. You get this amazing song from Sean Fogle and hit it. 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-Paul-A S K. And once again, you can find our new song submission link@hdtgm.com right there on the front page. All right, coming up after the break, you will hear from June, Nick Kroll, Rob Huebel 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 gonna tell you what we're watching next week.

Paul Scheer
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 or 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. So obviously 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?
- [19:51]
Nick Kroll
Great, Paul. How you doing?
- [19:52]
Paul Scheer
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. Do you know him?
- [20:03]
Nick Kroll
I don't know him personally, but I feel like I know him having done an impression of him on Comedy Bang Bang.
- [20:08]
Paul Scheer
That's great. That actually is great. I think you're very much able to answer a question as Sly Stallone then. So 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?
- [20:24]
Nick Kroll
Yeah, Jeremy, you know, it's a great question. I mean, you know, obviously most people know me as an action star. You know, every guy who makes pictures, you know, I love to work making show business, making pictures. But, you know, every day as you start, you know, being a star movie, you gotta get it there, write it out, you know? Yeah, I gotta write it, do writing. So I. I wake up about 4am I go out, I go, I go drink like 12 eggs and then I come home and do three hours of buys. Now it's, you know, about 7:30, and I sit down and write. You know, problem is, I can't write so good because my buys are throbbing at this point because I've done three hours buys. So I do tries. And when I double tries, then I feel like I'm really ready to sit down at 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 Me and making a picture. So I thought, what? I sit down and write and then I could. My legs start to hurt because I haven't done a workout on the legs. And so there's tiny pickle legs. I got tiny little pickle legs, you know, so. So, you know, and then I call over my. My brother, Frank Stallone. He comes down and we. We talk out a couple different lines. I actually got Frank Sloane here right now.
- [21:59]
Paul Scheer
Ain't that bullshit? I'm a real big fan. You know, he writes great. I write too.
- [22:03]
Nick Kroll
That's right. Me and Frank, you know, we're like the Coen brothers, you know, the Stallone brothers. People don't know that, man.
- [22:09]
Paul Scheer
You know, I write down the lines that people say he writes all the stage direction.
- [22:13]
Nick Kroll
Yeah, that's right. You know, kid's good with dialogue. He's not so good with, you know, stage race. So. So like I said, guy crosses, you know, Arnie Schwarzenegger, you know, 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.
- [22:31]
Airwick
Yeah.
- [22:31]
Paul Scheer
And I go, hey, that's a good one.
- [22:33]
Airwick
Yeah.
- [22:33]
Nick Kroll
Yeah. So I go, I go, the governator 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'll fight.
- [22:49]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, I picked the wrong time to quit smoking. Cause he's smoking hot.
- [22:54]
Nick Kroll
That's right. Frankie's good with his catchphrase. That's the guy with. He's the one who's giving a catchphrase. So that's how I write some of the, you know, I can't do it without my buddy Frankie, without ripping my bias, torching my tribes. And then. And then I go out for suits. I go out and buy a suit that looks like. Makes me look like a triangle. So it's all angles. I want everything I said to my tailor, I say, 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.
- [23:29]
Airwick
Yeah.
- [23:29]
Paul Scheer
He looks good. He looks like a. Like a rhombus.
- [23:32]
Nick Kroll
Yeah. As I say, you know, I don't want to look like a rhombus. So, you know, 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. And 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, and he lacquers up the suit. He makes it extra shiny, you know, and then I go, and then I go get a new penis pump and fill out that penis pump. And, you know, I go to my trailer and tell, you know, cup the balls.
- [24:03]
Airwick
And then, you know, we got a.
- [24:05]
Paul Scheer
90 page script and we shoot it.
- [24:07]
Nick Kroll
And we go shoot it. We get a bunch of international stars and raise their money and we go make, you know, we go make the movie and it's a great time every time, you know, good business making pictures.
- [24:17]
Paul Scheer
One of those guys one time held me outside a window by my feet. See, he was gonna drop me on my head. I said, too late.
- [24:24]
Nick Kroll
Unfortunately, Frankie's pawn. And a bigger chess fan sometimes, but he's a good supporter. But I love the kid. He's a good kid. Anyway, so that's what I do to, you know, film for the day. So thank you. You know, if anybody. If anybody can get in touch with Brian Bosworth, I'm trying to get him in the next movie. So let me know.
- [24:43]
Paul Scheer
I love the Boss.
- [24:44]
Nick Kroll
I love the Boss. Anyway, signing off. Sliced? No, thanks, Lauren. You know, never quit, follow your dreams. Toy. She tries out here.
- [24:52]
Paul Scheer
Bye. I like it. That was fun. And so we got a little. 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, 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 Huebel, 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?
- [25:36]
Rob Huebel
Have I what? Have I met him?
- [25:37]
Paul Scheer
Yeah. Have you ever met Sly?
- [25:39]
Rob Huebel
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 you if I'd ever met him.
- [25:48]
Paul Scheer
Well, I mean, but maybe, like, I don't know, like at a premiere or something like that.
- [25:52]
Rob Huebel
No, I would have fucking just mentioned it just now. We're talking about Sylvester Stallone.
- [25:56]
Paul Scheer
I don't have time.
- [25:57]
Rob Huebel
What are we talking about?
- [25:58]
Paul Scheer
Just.
- [25:58]
Nick Kroll
Just.
- [25:58]
Paul Scheer
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. Like. Yeah, I remember.
- [26:08]
Rob Huebel
I mean, yeah, I mean, I've seen his, like, in a video store. I remember seeing, like, movies of his on the shelf.
- [26:14]
Paul Scheer
You saw. Okay, so you saw movie. You saw, like, VHS boxes with.
- [26:18]
Rob Huebel
Sure, I can remember, yeah, in, like, the late 80s or mid-90s. Seeing things like Rambo and First Blood and.
- [26:26]
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
- [26:27]
Rob Huebel
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.
- [26:32]
Paul Scheer
I think it's really. I mean, I think it seems like it really affected your life in a major way. Right. That brought you. Would you say that?
- [26:38]
Rob Huebel
No, I would. Absolutely not. Let's be very clear about this. 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.
- [26:49]
Paul Scheer
Right.
- [26:49]
Rob Huebel
I don't. Stop saying right. I don't.
- [26:52]
Paul Scheer
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.
- [27:03]
Rob Huebel
Stop saying right. No, I'm.
- [27:05]
Paul Scheer
I mean, just answer a question. All right, just here. Okay, great. This one's from Nick Bolton. He wrote. What role took the largest physical toll on your body during filming?
- [27:20]
Rob Huebel
Well, first of all, who is Nick Bolton?
- [27:22]
Paul Scheer
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?
- [27:34]
Rob Huebel
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.
- [27:42]
Paul Scheer
You did a movie with Jean Claude Van Damme. True or false?

Rob Huebel
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.
- [27:50]
Paul Scheer
Damme and he was in Expendable. So by. I mean, by the Kevin Bacon method, you are almost like best friends with Sylvester Stallone.
- [27:57]
Rob Huebel
Okay, fine. What is the question? Which movie that I did?
- [28:00]
Paul Scheer
Yeah. Took the. No, yeah, not you, Stallone. But you're answering as Stallone took the.
- [28:06]
Rob Huebel
That's why I said which movie that I did.
- [28:08]
Paul Scheer
Well, you didn't do a voice.
- [28:09]
Rob Huebel
I have to do a fucking voice of Stallone.
- [28:12]
Nick Kroll
I have to say.
- [28:12]
Paul Scheer
Well, alright, so which movie took the largest physical toll on your body during filming? Yo. I mean, it's gotta be like fucking.
- [28:20]
Nick Kroll
Over the top, that arm wrestling movie and shit.
- [28:24]
Rob Huebel
Because I feel like an idiot.
- [28:27]
Paul Scheer
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. That was great.
- [28:37]
Rob Huebel
Anyways, yeah, it was over the top because it was arm wrestling and I only used one of my arms, so it got.
- [28:44]
Paul Scheer
Maybe you shouldn't use the voice. Don't do the voice.
- [28:46]
Rob Huebel
Fuck, man.
- [28:47]
Paul Scheer
What? All right, I think we got it. I think we can just explain why over the top. Sure.
- [28:51]
Rob Huebel
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. Like a fucking crab, you know, with a giant arm and then one little tiny claw on the other.
- [29:03]
Paul Scheer
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.
- [29:13]
Rob Huebel
People, you're going to get in a lot of trouble for this podcast.
- [29:15]
Paul Scheer
No, I won't. Fuck. Did not. Didn't think he wouldn't. I didn't know him. Yeah, I thought, you know, I mean, well, what positives. The positives of that. Did a great impersonation of Stallone. That was a positive. Bet you a couple of you probably tuned in late on. I don't even know how you can turn in late to a podcast because you guys started. But it may be like, if a friend walked into the room, you're like, oh, is that Stallone?
- [29:46]
Nick Kroll
No.
- [29:46]
Paul Scheer
No, it's not. But it's Rob Huebel doing Stall 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 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. 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 wanna. What? What are you doing? I'm recording the podcast. What? No.
- [30:34]
Airwick

Airwick

Paul Scheer

- [30:47]
Airwick
Really? Embarrassing me? I'm not embarrassing you. It's not coming. What's like, seriously, what's going on?
- [30:52]
Paul Scheer
Nothing is going on. I'm doing this. I have to do this. They want. The fans want to hear this.

Airwick
What fans, Paul? Nobody cares. People are emailing me and texting me. They're worried.
- [31:03]
Paul Scheer
I'm sorry. I'm fine. I'm fine. Who's texting you? Who the fuck is texting you?
- [31:10]
Airwick
A lot of our good friends.
- [31:11]
Paul Scheer
All right, you know what? Then why aren't you telling me this? 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 could tell all your friends. Like that bitch Brianna. You could tell her. You could tell her that first of all. What?
- [31:29]
Airwick
I cannot believe you just said that about Brianna.
- [31:31]
Paul Scheer
You know she's a bitch.
- [31:33]
Airwick
Okay, this isn't recording, is it? You stopped it.
- [31:35]
Paul Scheer
What? I don't. Look, I have to do this. Please let me do it.
- [31:38]
Airwick
She's gonna freak out. You call her a bitch on your podcast.
- [31:42]
Paul Scheer
This is not for air.
- [31:44]
Airwick
Oh, so none of this is air? No. What are you doing? What do you mean?
- [31:48]
Paul Scheer
What?
- [31:48]
Airwick
This is so strange. Like, seriously, I don't know. I know. I just. I don't know if this is you freaking out.
- [31:54]
Paul Scheer
I'm not freaking out. I'm fine. I'm fine.
- [31:58]
Airwick
Paul, he's not coming on the show.
- [32:01]
Paul Scheer
You don't know that. Do you know him? Do you actually have a Stallone story?
- [32:04]
Airwick
No, I don't have a Stallone story. Paul. It's a baby sleeping in the other room. You honestly. Are you seriously you having like a. Like a. Like a meltdown? Like you've just become a dad and you're having a meltdown? I'm not having a Manifesting in this.
- [32:18]
Paul Scheer
No, I'm a podcast. I'm a podcaster.
- [32:20]
Airwick
Okay, first of all, you're an actor on a highly rated cable shot. This is embarrassing what you're doing.
- [32:27]
Paul Scheer
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. And you never support me. You never get behind my ideas.
- [32:37]
Airwick
I really resent that you're saying that. I actually really resent that. I've gotten behind every.
- [32:43]
Paul Scheer
Oh, bullshit. Bullshit. I don't care.
- [32:47]
Airwick
Oh, dick face, fairy and human. I was a series regular in tsu. 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.
- [33:00]
Paul Scheer
Okay, fine. You win, you win, you win, you win. Huge supporters.
- [33:02]
Airwick
And I'm telling you, as your wife, as your lover, as your friend, as your co creator.
- [33:08]
Paul Scheer
Let me tell you a story. Let me tell you a story.
- [33:10]
Airwick
Podcast with you. This is not a podcast. I don't even know what this is.
- [33:13]
Paul Scheer
This is like Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad. No one bought Breaking Bad. No one brought Breaking Bad. And then, and then AMC was the last one to buy it and said no. Okay, so you're.
- [33:23]
Airwick
You're going to wait the baby. You need to lower Your voice.
- [33:25]
Paul Scheer
I'm not going to lower my voice. Just. I have to do this. I have to do. I have a half hour material to get through tonight.
- [33:32]
Airwick
I have a answer is no. What do you mean?
- [33:34]
Paul Scheer
The answer is no.

Airwick

Paul Scheer

- [33:49]
Paul Scheer
For what purpose?
- [33:52]
Airwick
So he does. Okay, so he does come. So he does. Come on. Does it end then? Does it end there? Does it start with someone else?
- [34:00]
Paul Scheer
I would like to do, like, a Daniel Day Lewis podcast.
- [34:03]
Airwick
Oh, my God.
- [34:04]
Paul Scheer
Because I think people are interested in him.
- [34:09]
Airwick
So let their interest be. Let it be. Let it be out there. Let someone else take this torch.
- [34:14]
Paul Scheer
You know what? I'm gonna go to bed. I'm tired.
- [34:17]
Airwick
All right?
- [34:17]
Paul Scheer
I'm going to bed.
- [34:18]
Airwick
Fine. I'm keeping this here. You're not taking it to me. I'm not taking it. Paul, what's going on? Hey, hey, hey.
- [34:28]
Paul Scheer
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?

Airwick
Of course I am.
- [34:47]
Paul Scheer
Let me do this. Let me do this podcast. Just let me do it.
- [34:55]
Airwick
I can't.
- [34:58]
Paul Scheer
You know, I have been. I've been 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. And I figured, you know what? But 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 the UCB Theater, 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? 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. 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. 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. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone?
- [36:27]
Rob Huebel
Only in my dreams.
- [36:28]
Paul Scheer
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Hold on. Going around to this side of the audience. Have you. Hold on. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone?
- [36:47]
Airwick
No.
- [36:48]
Paul Scheer
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone?
- [36:49]
Airwick
No.
- [36:49]
Paul Scheer
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone?
- [36:53]
Lacey Mosley
No, I have not.
- [36:54]
Paul Scheer
Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. Have you ever met Sylvester Stallone? No. I'm just kidding. Yes or no? No. Yes or no?
- [37:02]
Airwick
Yes.
- [37:02]
Paul Scheer
Yes. When? How? What? The Broadway opening of Rocky the Musical. He was there. And what were you doing there?
- [37:09]
Airwick
I was just there because my friend worked on it.
- [37:11]
Paul Scheer
Okay. Did he talk to you?
- [37:13]
Airwick
I shook his hand.
- [37:15]
Paul Scheer
Did he look you in the eye?
- [37:16]
Airwick
Yeah.
- [37:17]
Nick Kroll
And what?
- [37:17]
Paul Scheer
And what did he say?
- [37:18]
Airwick
He just patted me on the back.
- [37:21]
Paul Scheer
How did it feel?
- [37:26]
Lacey Mosley
It was a little jarring.
- [37:28]
Paul Scheer
Jarring. All right, 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?
- [37:43]
Airwick
Life changing.
- [37:44]
Paul Scheer
Great. That works. Prove my point. They're in a room of 100 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, we got. 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 the nagging wife. I don't need the comment boards. What I need is to go on this journey by myself. Like jerk, like fuck. Like Jack Kerouac. That's his name, Jack. She's so fucking dumb. 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 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 Couture, Tony Jaa, 50 Cent and Andy Garcia. Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie a 14% on the Tomatometer. And Adam Graham of the Detroit News says this dumb as rocks exercise in 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. Time to make our entrance. Enjoy the show.
