Chris "Mr.Reagan" Kohls Reviews Sylvester Stallone in 'Rocky'
"Is an actor? What do you think of sly's first big performance? Yeah, no, I think he is Olivier. I think he is brilliant. I think these guys, you know, I think people kind of overlook sometimes performances that are in films that are too pop culture. This film has become so legendary. It's become iconic. You know, we don't really think of rocky as this absolutely brilliant film that's Oscar worthy, but I think it did win best picture. Hang on, hang on, hang on. I got it here. 1977 nominated for ten, ten Oscars. It walks away with best picture, best director and best editing. Three, three Oscars. Yeah, as well it should have. It really truly is a masterpiece of cinema. And what's funny is you can actually hear the film real rolling because it was like the audio wasn't perfect, right? Like whoever they hired to do the odds. Some of the scenes, the audio is garbage when he's walking around the gym when he's walking around you can you know he's walking off one boom mic to another. Yeah, yeah, you can hear it. The audio is in the distance. Yeah, it's very, it's a very sort of independent film like it's very Gritty the way that it shot is very sort of like it's not very professional, right? For considering comparing it to other Hollywood movies at the time. And you can actually hear the film reel in some scenes going. You know, the film going through the canister. And yet, and yet it's so perfect. I mean, you know, we talked before about the back of the future scripted how some professors teach us as like the perfect screenplay. I would actually say this is an example of an actual perfect screen. I think you're onto something. I think this is light years ahead of Back to the Future. Back to the futures, maybe something you can watch again, more easily as a popcorn movie, but here, yeah, this is really, and for a guy who it's his first script. I mean, absolutely stunning.

'Where Have All the Good Men Gone?' With Larry Taunton
"We're talking to Larry Alex Taunton, Larry, you've just written on so many subjects, but this is one that affects everyone's life today and the title of it is where have all the good men gone. So let's keep going about what is in that article. Yeah. Well, I think you're 7 men book. You're 7 women book. What we're talking about in part is the need for models. And I would want to say to any young person who's listening or even a man who has maybe struggled finding his own place, have good role models, find good role models. And unfortunately, a lot of boys lacking from broken homes and this particularly true within Muslim communities. Where a man can have four wives and countless children, often lacking those real role models in their lives, they instead look to someone like a rapper or a Sylvester Stallone or Jason Statham, movie character, and athlete or a hip hop artist, someone who they see is powerful, respected, and sexually desirable. And they begin to model that. And that's unfortunate not only for themselves, but for society, for women. I would really encourage any young man who is out there who lacks that role model in their life, maybe because of an absentee or a weak a weak father figure, find a real person in your life that you can model yourself after, who can set a standard for you and do understand their centers that they will fail you that are ultimate a model and neither Eric nor I are saying that we're the models of masculinity. Jesus Christ established that model for us, but he gives us, he gives us individuals in our lives after whom we can model ourselves.

Why AJ Is the King of 'Six Degrees of Separation'
"Now I'm laughing here because many of you have jumped on the 6° of AJ benza thing. And some of your desires to see how, if I can match up with these celebrities, well, they're pretty funny. Some of you threw me a few curve balls that seemed hard to hit, but with a little work and some hard thinking, I was able to connect everyone to me within less than 6 moves. Now that was some easy ones in there. I got to admit you got to remember the trick to this game is not how well an actor I was. That's not it at all. I'm no You just gotta have good connectors. And I happen to have good connectors, for instance, I'm only two moves away from Kevin Bacon, having worked with Steve Guttenberg and Steve Guttenberg made Dina with Kevin Bacon. Two moves, I'm with bacon. I have good connectors. I can use guys like the Steve Gutenberg, who's appeared in way over a hundred movies and TV shows. And since he's been in films like police academy, which has had so many different what's the word sequels. Not to mention so many stars, he alone takes me to a ton of people. And on top of that, he made cocoon with Jung cronin and Jessica Tandy to act as from another era, they can connect me to almost anyone since Charlie Chaplin for God's sake. That's just luck on my part. Working with Sylvester Stallone puts me with anyone who ever worked with him in the rocky franchises. They Rambo franchise. The expendable franchise. And now, because he has worked in the Marvel Universe, I'm connected to that place as well.

And it's their last three games at Kansas City, home for the jets home for the rams. You know, I think the U haul might be backed up for the rams and that week 18 game. I like Seattle. So I'm not ready to throw them aside like you are right now. Overreaction Tuesday, baby. Well done. You're back. Outstanding. We're back. You know what? I feel like I'm in the alleyway, just chasing the rooster. So what's up? Is that it? That's it. That would be a dangerous man. Is he overplaying that drought these days? A little bit. A little bit. It's just like every time we do a segment, we hear that. Yeah, a little bit. Never say never, but never. Okay, that's evergreen. I'm sorry. It's okay. It's okay. We give you full reign to drop whatever drop you want to drop. Am I reading the chart? That's always a good idea. That's the one. I meant nothing right there. Absolutely, I was apropos of nothing. I don't know what the hell that meant. We're oh dear right now, we're over dropping. Sylvester Stallone, baby. Let's do it. I mean, first of all, you had a joke about a chicken in the alleyway and it was funny. It was about to make it. I know and then he dropped it. I don't know. I know. I don't know. You're gonna eat lightning and crap. Well, the man is in Tulsa king now. I can not wait to play this interview for you. Sylvester Stallone when we come back. Influencer.

"This program. He's going to join us in about 20 minutes time. The actor Glenn Powell from the movie hidden figures and Top Gun: Maverick and his new movie devotion, he's going to be joining us in studio hour number three and I am already doing ab work in advance of that. That's how we got everything set up here on this program. I can't wait to tell you some stories before Glenn joins us in studio about my time in Germany, haven't gotten too deep into what happened with the Raiders and the colts just yet. We'll do that later on in the program. Having seen the Buccaneers up close and personal, folks. They back. They looked like a terrific football team. They looked like the team that can stop the running can run on you and Tom Brady's got weapons galore. That's what it looked like to me. And the Seattle Seahawks coming in, I really believe that they would win that game and they've got a lot of belief in that locker room, despite how they played on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings beat the Buffalo Bills, the Green Bay Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys. The Washington commanders beat the Philadelphia Eagles. And those are just three games that tell me something about this league through ten weeks and ten weeks ago. After the Buffalo Bills beat the Los Angeles Rams in sofa just up the four O 5 from the rich eisen show studio, I thought to myself, well, my preseason beliefs about the Buffalo Bills just got crystalized. I don't think there's anybody that can compete with them. Of course, that was back in the day when I really thought the Raiders could win the AFC west. So what I could see in this league after ten weeks, even though you could say the fact that the chiefs sitting here in the AFC west ruling that roost considerably after the forty-niners took care of the Los Angeles chargers on Sunday Night football that the chiefs look like the team from last year more than anybody else in the AFC. Anybody else. Performing from year to year in the manner that folks didn't think they could, because tyreek hill left, outside of that, this whole damn league is so unpredictable predictable right now. The whole thing is up in the air. If you name half the league, you could make a really good case that they could win the Super Bowl. If you think that's a little too much, then let's go down to a third of it. The bills can win the Super Bowl, the dolphins can win the Super Bowl. I still think the Bengals can come out of nowhere. There's always a team that can go from 5 and four or 5 and 5 or four and 5 and 6 and four, what have you win it all? You could say the eagles can win the Super Bowl. The forty-niners can win the Super Bowl. The bucks can win the Super Bowl. The Viking short can win the Super Bowl. The Titans is when you're beginning to get in that gray area, the ravens can win the Super Bowl. I mean, my jets still need to prove a few things. The Giants, the Giants are definitely the most overlooked 7 and two team. I can remember, but they're 7 and two. The Giants are in second place. And so are the jets. Entering week 11. I actually like the Giants better than jets, patriots, Titans, just because of the stability at quarterback. Nathan Jones has been really good this year. The Titans are just a team that always beat you when you think that really they have no shot. They're really tough and Derek Henry is a huge X Factor. Even though he hardly did a darn thing against the Broncos and they're really well coached. And Mike vrabel is really good. Seahawks can win the Super Bowl.

Sylvester Stallone Is Sporting a Bad Toupe in 'Tulsa King'
"I saw a trailer for the TV show Tulsa king. Starring Sylvester Stallone. A Tyler, I'm sorry, Taylor, Sheridan production. Taylor shouting is the man. I mean, we're talking king a mayor of Kingstown, Yellowstone, 1883, the last cowboy, the movies, hell or high water, Sicario, wind river, this guy, I mean, he writes while you sleep, he writes while you shit. This guy is so prodigious. But I saw the trailer. And I gotta tell you. I'm bothered by something. I can't wait to see Sylvester Stallone in a TV series, but I can't take the toupee. I can't take the plastered on toupee. It's just, it's just too much. It's too much. It's bothering me. And you know what? I have to confess. I haven't said anything for a long time. Because of my relationship with him, okay? We're Friends. But can you imagine having to do all that shit with your hair? Before the director calls action, when is the last time we saw an old actor age gracefully? Really? Like in the old days, Paul Newman would age gracefully. Robert Redford. I mean, there's so many actors in the 70s and 80s, and even the 90s who didn't go for the tube.

Why Did Sylvester Stallone's Wife File for Divorce?
"It really looks like more than a few relationships are in peril these days. Because we had Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer flavin announced that their marriage is irretrievably broken. That's sure sounds like somebody cheated and look, that's someone could have been sly. Forget his age. Up in the high 70s. Women would still take one with slaw. You kidding me? But you know, look, he did cover up the tattoo of Jennifer's face on his shoulder with the face of a dog. This dog sly wanted named Dwight. And Jennifer put her foot down and didn't want the dog. I can't believe in marriage would blow up for that, but he went and got that tattoo of Dwight over his wife's face. That's hardcore shit. Does the tattoo mean that he caught her cheating on him? And he thinks she's a dog? But that's doesn't work because she's the one who filed for divorce. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this one, and it's going to be very hard. Slides friends have tight lips. They don't talk.

"Well, first of all, we don't have actors anymore that are as famous as the ones we had in the 80s, but it's true. It's like if Chris Evans zagged, nobody would care. I was bringing up Chris Evans as my stereotypical whatever did it, Ryan Reynolds. Like Ryan Reynolds, Zack, nobody really cares. But sly was like, slide's gonna be in a movie with Dolly Parton and he's gonna sing country music. Like blew your mind. It would seem like such a big gamble. Even just the way that those two people look. Sylvester Stallone and a Dolly Parton on a poster. Yeah. I mean, you just used sighted two examples of two actors, two actors that, you know, I like well enough, but Ryan Reynolds Chris Evans basically looked the same. They have the same haircut. The same height. They have the same build. If it seems such a humor, same comic persona and movies, they're kind of the same. Nobody looked like slayer Dolly. Nobody ever looked at those two people. And that's one thing that's different too. One of my hottest takes ever is that rhinestone is not bad. Like staying alive is bad, Ryan sounds not bad. So directed by bob Clark, who directed black Christmas, porky's and the Christmas story. Yeah. Pretty legendary Canadian filmmaker. I definitely saw this in the 90s and never thought about it again. I don't know, it's been a long time. Dolly's goodnight. Dolly had this run where, I mean, and then a 5, she was a comet. But I actually think her movie career should have been bigger. Best little whorehouse in Texas is right around this time, rhinestone, and 9 to 5. That's kind of like her big 80s. Yeah, but there was more. There should have been a RomCom with her. They didn't know what to do with her. It's true. You know, she's like one of those centers who could shoot threes in the 90s. People are like, what is this? Yeah, she was our Venus sabonis. Who was the pacers center? Rick Smith. Yeah, she's like Rick Smith is like 7 four. He plays facing the basket. Rambo first blood part two.

"Stallone's reaction to what would be perceived as like losing power is really interesting. Because in some cases, he does stuff like Oscar, which doesn't work. But then he's like, I gotta get my die hard. So I'll do cliffhanger. And it works. And it's a hit. It's not a Rambo sized tape, but it's a pretty big hit, and it's still a really well liked movie. So his radar is like really funky. Sometimes he knows exactly what to do. Like he created the expendables. He found a way to revive himself whether we like those movies or not. Every ten years he's like, I got a new idea. I know a way to get back in the culture. Even now I feel like a little of this rocky stuff is like, hey, don't forget, I'm Sylvester Stallone. It doesn't matter how old I am. I'm Sylvester Stallone. He also got really helped by the rewatch ability of his movies and all the marathons, especially. Yeah. The movies were just on all the time. Especially the rocky. And I think the rocky just kept moving into new generations. So that kept like buying them time. But there was a weird so I had the stretches, basically everything until 81, like that's Stallone coming on the scene and becoming a major star. And then 82 for me, 82 to 80 70, almost flies too close to the sun. In which can be good in some ways and bad and some other ways. 88 to 97 is him just trying to reclaim the throne. And it's all over the map. But you get lock up and you get tank on cash in the same year, you get Oscar, stop my mom, I'll shoot, you get the cliffhanger, come back, then he started rips off. He does assassins and it's gonna be like, oh, him and Sharon Stone together. And they're sex scene is one of the weirdest sex scenes of probably any specialist. I'm sorry. Then the assassins do the right. Special zen assassins, judge dread, demolition man. And he's just cranking them out because he's trying to catch up with Arnold.

"I think Ryan O'Neal was the one though. One of his he ended up doing the champ, not the champ, the main event. Barbara streisand, yeah. The thing that's interesting to me about him and I want to ask you about this, because you were paying close attention. The absolutely love the guy. Like immediately. It seemed like in the late 70s, after rocky. He was trying to have a very forgive for lack of a better word, reputable film career. He was trying to work with good directors, tell slightly more serious stories than when we think of Sylvester Stallone. This is pre first blood. This is pre cobra movies like that. You know, these like pure action. But I would throw a first blood in there because I think that's a really good move. It is a good movie. Based on a celebrated novel, really well made movie. But because of part two, started to become more comic booky and more overtly violent. He became too famous. But from 76 to 82, you know, he's making fist and he's making nighthawks and he's making these movies that are like pretty good victory. Escape to victory. Like he's working with John Huston. He's working with Norman Jewison. It's funny the way that things turned out because it seemed like he wanted a different kind of career for himself. Do you does that make sense to you now? Well, so rocky two happens. And rocky two is a legitimate event during an era when we didn't really have sequels in that way. What were the sequels godfather two? I don't even count. That was based off the book, but I guess that was a successful sequel. It's like a Poseidon adventure two or something like that. Yeah, so you had all those airport movies and stuff like that, but we didn't have sequels in the same way as like cash cows and rocky two is an event. I saw that in Massachusetts with my friend Reese kenzer and the whole movie theater. We're all going nuts the last 25. Like it was like a real fight. Can rocky win this? And after that, it just felt like he could do anything and that, you know, we had a lot of good actors back then. That was the heyday of Clint. Heyday Burt Reynolds, Newman and Redford are still huge. Nicholson can still make any movie once. De Niro and Pacino are coming. But still on still felt like he had this little corner. And I think he knew it.

"I'm Sean fantasy, and this is the big picture a conversation show about sliced alone. Stallone stars in the down and dirty superhero movie Samaritan now streaming on Amazon Prime. So today we're building a Hall of Fame in honor of Stallone and we're joined by a true the one true Stallone ologist Bill Simmons had built. Is that what I am? Well, the new Amazon movie is bad, right? It's pretty bad, yeah. Well, you know what it reminded me of. It reminded me of another stolen movie. It reminded me of judge dredd, which was his attempt to get into the superhero world in the 90s because it was sort of like ground level. It was very violent. It didn't have the same winking quality that a lot of our modern superhero movies made because, you know, it's a Stallone movie. He can only do so much in that respect. I didn't think it was great though. I was a little disappointed by it. Judge dread was bad, and it is not in my hall of fame. No, that's safe to say. I think it was clumsy. I think a good word for Stallone sometimes is clumsy.

Robert DeNiro to Play Two Separate Mafiosa in 'Wise Guys'
"But wise guys, this movie is going to make De Niro. It's a period of peace. He's going to tell the story of Vito Genovese and Frank Costello. Who are a pair of Italians running two separate crime families during the mid 20th century, Genovese tried and failed to assassinate Costello in 1957. But then, well, it's a great story. The in Costello got his revenge. And De Niro, you ready for this? Is playing both roles? What are we doing? I love De Niro. In my mind, he can play anything. I'd watch De Niro play an Uber driver. I don't care. He's the best, and I know he's done some roles in the last 20 years, which are embarrassing. You know, yeah, I have to remember. When actors get to a certain age and their grandpas or daddies, they tend to do things that their kids are grandkids want to see. So you can't get up there and ask too much. De Niro did a rock in bullwinkle. He knows it was a piece of shit, but he wanted his grandkid to see him in the movie, or hear him in a movie. You know, you can't. But De Niro's playing both these roles, Genovese and Costello. Nick pileggi has written this script pileggi wrote Goodfellas. He's the best in the business. And he wrote the book wise guy, but that's not what this movie is based on. Unfortunately, the producers Irwin Winkler, he's the fuck face who keeps squeezing Sylvester Stallone, and won't give him a percentage point of the rocky movies, so Winkler is producing this which sucks. Barry Levinson is the best. He'd made movies toys, bugsy, rain man, good morning, Vietnam, ten men, and diner among others. He also did the HBO Emmy nominated series, the survivor, he did two episodes of dope sick with Michael Keaton. This guy, I mean, look, you can't get better people. But De Niro playing both roles, I wonder what that's gonna look like, you know?

"This weekend, more bad news came for sly, Irwin Winkler seems to be happy just sticking the knife in Stallone's back. And he's now decided to twist it and plunge it deeper. Because it was announced that Irwin Winkler has green lit of film based on the Ivan Drago character from rocky four. The evil Russian fans, the evil Russian fans, remember who famously killed Apollo creed in the ring, right? Obviously, as with creed, this film's gonna be about Drago's son, fighting Adonis creed, I imagine, and Stallone's not happy about it at all. And I can't blame him. These characters are his creations. What a fuck Irwin Winkler is. Last year, Michael B. Jordan. That doesn't help. When a guy like Michael B. Jordan talks shit about Sylvester Stallone. It bothers me, 'cause he'd be nothing without sly. But this is what Michael B. Jordan said about sly participating or not participating in the creed movies last year. Oh, I want to punch him when I hit us. He says, yeah, I think that sly, let it be known that he wasn't coming back for this one. That's creed too. But I think, you know, his essence and his spirit. There's always gonna be a little bit of rocky within the donnas, but this is a creed franchise. And we really want to build this story and this world around him moving forward. So it's always respect and always a shit ton of love for what he's built. But we really want to push and navigate Adonis forward and the family that he created. So hopefully you guys will love what I'm thinking. What we're cooking up, I think it's gonna be something special. That was a piece of shit. I mean, it made money, but it was a piece of shit movie.

The Newest Installment of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Battle
"So now, here's what we're at. In the latest development of this Sylvester Stallone's ongoing battle over the rise to rock. He should have called to the current franchise rights holder. Irvin winkle, to return to him and this is quote at least a little of what's left of his respective stakes in this iconic franchise here. So the other day, Stallone posted on his Instagram and artist rendition of Irwin Winkler as a snake with a dagger coming out of his mouth, and he wrote a very flattering portrait of the great rocky slash creed producer Irwin Winkler, also after Irwin controlling rocky for over 47 years. And now creed, I really would like to have at least a little of what's left of my rights back before passing it on to only my children. I believe that would be a fair gesture from this 93 year old gentleman. Mister Stallone said this is a very painful subject that eats it my soul because I wanted to leave something of rocky from my kids. But it's always great hearing from the loyal fans he concluded before signing off as he always does. And like I said, despite having created the character, starred in the first 8 films in the franchise, wrote 7 of them, directed four, I mentioned a few times because after rocky two came out, he made a ton of money and then rocky three hit, and that made more than all of them. And rocky at that. And slide at that point said, I like to have some ownership since I invented it. And that never happened. So he's got zero ownership of rocky. And as he mentioned in the post after recalling how his attorney at the time, the legendary Jake Blum shut down any of his requests for ownership under the auspices of, look, it's like, that just doesn't happen. The studio is the power of the agency relies upon them and the attorneys go betweens. And he said, when I finally confronted them, just before rocky four in 1985, I said, there's bother you guys that I've written every word. I've choreographed it. I've been loyal to you. I promoted it directed it. And I don't have 1% that I could leave for my kids. And the quote he got back was, you've got paid.

"I can go on and on when it comes to actors who are known worldwide for specific characters, but none of them created those characters. None of them sat down and wrote those characters stories out and then made a multi-billion dollar franchise out of both those characters. There were 5 rambos and 6 rockies. And of course, creed was spawned from rocky and I think there are two of those and one more is coming. They don't count. I don't like them anywhere near as much as rocky. I don't see what people see in Michael B. Jordan and Stallone didn't create them, so we'll take those out of the equation. But think about this. The Rambo franchise is inching close to having grossed over a $1 billion worldwide. Probably by now it has. Rocky has grossed a billion and a half worldwide. And every time another creed movie comes out a bunch of nickels drop into the rocky bucket, if you will. And even with all that, all the money he's lined into the pockets of the studio and one producer in particular, Sylvester Stallone doesn't own not even 1% of rocky. Could you ever think about that? Has it ever dawned on you? I never even dreamed that. Who could ever do that? What kind of business is it that robs a man blind right in front of everyone? For nearly half a century after the character he created, wrote, built up, crafted, promoted, choreographed, sometimes directed. It's not fair. Well, what kind of business is that?

"Love this. I love that. I love the way they look. I would have gotten a job. I don't care in a barn, a trainer, something. You know, selling saddles, something in that world. That I just have an affinity towards. That's about it. That's great. Well, you know, we wish you the best with your shoot there for Tulsa king. Are you able to say which streaming service is going to feature? Yeah, yeah, it's going to be on paramount plus folks. Paramount plus, forget everything else. Go to paramount plus because in the future, they are pouring a fortune into their business and developing incredible shows. They're extremely services second and I'm not just saying that because I'm paramount plus matter of fact, my daughter is have a reality show. Coming up, we're going to start filming this, by the way, I've never said this, that he went because it's on. It's done by Bruno Murray, who were the force behind the Kardashians and it's a very, very strong lineup. This is going to be incredible. I am in a reality show. I'm popping in and out. I said, oh my God. What am I going to do? But you know what? Like I said, I want to spend time with my family and what's better when you're have to deal with each other all day long. It's going to be on film, so I'll be there forever in one form or another with the family. So that's also on paramount plus. So there's a synergy going on. It's fantastic. So I want you all to just pull up your socks, take your dreams, put them on your shoulders, welcome to competition, welcome those villains and knock them out and just keep going until you achieve what you want. Never and never stop. Remember, even glaciers keep moving, they look like they're standing still but they're moving. And they destroy everything in their path. So keep rolling, keep punching. Sylvester Stallone, thank you so much for your so excited to be launching this project with you on behalf of everybody here in the audience and those listen to replay. We really appreciate you, sir. Okay, thank you. So there you go. Again, not a lot of details on the NFT launch and kind of unusual for bad crypto, but with crypto being in the tank right now. We don't really want to talk about it anyhow, you know? Everything's a sad, sad market. And I guess I can step back, you know, what I've been saying about us not being in a true bear market. This is, it's definitely, it's definitely a bear market, but Bitcoin is on a permanent bulls market, right? You know, if you had bought two years ago or so, you know, you'd be up TEDx, still. So overall, Bitcoin is bullish. You know, the total market cap right now is 1.5 trillion down from the two point whatever trillion it was. Bitcoin is at 31,000 Ethereum just hit 2300. And so things are on a downward trend. And you know, that's why we've transitioned now bad crypto is now we do bad celebrity interviews. And we're starting off here, so we're changing the total brand. And we've been here doing this for almost 5 years now. So now it's we're going to pivot. We're going to do a show every once in a while whenever we decide when I skip a Wednesday show because Travis had really bad Internet. And so just when it goes, you guys can't get rid of us that easy. We're here. We weathered the bear market before. We watched Bitcoin go from 20,035 hundred. It's very possible that we could hit the previous cycles all time high of 20,000 again before we do the balance, but we know that crypto is here to stay. Bitcoin is here to stay. It is unstoppable money, NFTs are here to stay. And this is just a downtime. Remember what Warren Buffett said that, you know, you should be greedy when other people are fearful and be fearful when other people are greedy. And remember what Jimmy Buffett said and order a cheeseburger in Paradise. I actually, last night here in Mexico, I ordered some Jamaican jerk chicken. Which is really good. The awkward part is when you got to jerk the chicken, but it tastes delicious. Have you ever had jerk chicken? I have. It's so good. In fact, have you ever met our friend elroy here in palmas? Elroy. Yeah, he's a driver. He does driving. He lives here in the community, but he drives a lot of us back and forth to the airport. And he full blown Jamaican man. He is his old Jamaican and he just got naturalized here. So now he's a dual citizen. He's a Jamaican, an American, a gen American, and went to his place for some authentic Jamaican junk chicken man. Very delicious. Oh man, yeah, this place was so good. I actually got some leftovers because they gave so much food that I think I'm gonna do that now. So I want to say to everyone, thank you for tuning in. If you like what we do here, bad crypto, you know, feel free to give us a review. I mean, who else is bringing you awesome stuff like Sylvester Stallone and some of the other amazing people? I mean, probably have iced tea on the nifty show, right? We've had some awesome blue brought acon. We brought some pretty awesome people to you guys and we like to entertain you all and educate you and inspire you all to stay back. How are we doing on that? I think we're doing okay. I think we're kind of middle of the road. Some sub average, probably. Sub average. Oh, I'll say probably three and a half stars, you know, not a whole 5 stars find out for before. Don't tell them that. We want 5 star reviews. And actually, that was, I'm going to call that a faux stab bag because I want to mention that you're going to Minneapolis. So if people are going to vicon, then you might run into sir lord Travis there. The stickers man all kinds of stickers for y'all. I got nifty show stickers. I got ancient wisdom IO stickers. And then also going to have some going to have some crypto bots stickers. As well. So if you're running at Travis at VidCon, say, stick it to me. And he will. And then the both of us. How many bad crypto stickers yet? Because we still have some bad crypto stickers from our previous batch. But once we make the next badge, they're going to be all holographic and badass. I just have one. You know what? I actually could probably make some of the send them to my place in Kansas City and pick them up before I go. Yeah, hurry up. And then we're both going to be in New York for NFT NYC, which is the event to be at if you're in NFTs. I think one is going to be at Radio City Music Hall. So if Travis and I have a chance to go up on stage, we will dance like the rockettes. You know, I was really hoping it was going to be a Carnegie Hall. But I don't think we've practiced enough to be at Carnegie Hall. You got to do a little bit more work. So they say, what does it take to play a Carnegie how you got to practice a lot? I'm like, fuck that. Break in. Do a Tim Ferriss thing on it. 5 out four will work week that and just get in there and play Carnegie Hall. That's good. All right. Okay, here we go. Now you can for real finish. Maybe what I'll do is I'll make a here's what I'm gonna do, Joel. I'm just gonna get a background photo of Carnegie Hall and just put it as my zoom background. There you go. So that's legit. It's legit fake. All right, all right, so we can stay bad now. Yeah, you go ahead. You gotta say something about it. You.

"First film after rocky, they wanted me to do a thing called coming home. And Jon Voight did it. I said, I don't know if I want to do this. And he wins the Oscar, then I was supposed to do witness romance in the stone. All these wonderful opportunities that I regret and I take it. But more importantly, on a personal level, there's a lot of missed opportunities, family wives. And those I regret deeply because movies are movies, but blood is blood. And I wish I could have gone back and been a better parent. It wasn't as though I was negligent, not at all. I was gone. I was going back then, they had a term called filling slots. Which means you would book yourself for two movies two and a half movies a year. That's a lot. Back then movies would go 90 to a hundred days, Rambo is a 140 days. So you're gone. Think about it. You're gone 200 plus days a year at a 360 days. So you come back, you almost have to wear a name tag, say, hi, I'm dead. Remember me? Kind of a thing. And you can't get that back. So right now I am really embracing time. I use the term time as my currency, and I'm spending it wisely now because I squander a lot of time. So that's the name of that. I have a hope everybody reads between the lines clearly on that one. I mean, you know, it's a year 75 now and you've done a lot of amazing things and it seems to me family is still that is the most important thing. It's not all the fame. Yeah. It's true. No, no. It's not money. I can't take that, you know, to hell where I'm going. No. But the daughter is, I really am intensely let me see obsessed with talking to them, FaceTiming, and they're blossoming. I said, why didn't I do this before? I mean, if you show people attention, you know, people are like flowers. Don't water it, guess what happens? Give it attention. Yeah. It grows. Period, but I was too foolish and self absorbed. Because, you know, let's face it. People, especially I don't know about women because I am not a woman, definitely. But men have this need to arrive at a certain place, hopefully by a certain age. And you're so obsessed with finding your place in the world. And you feel that time who you feel the time march of time beating down and why am I not here at this time? Why is that guy ahead of me? They're quite often, everything else gets pushed to the side. Because you want to establish your course. You want to establish you want to plant your flag in your future there. Okay, I did it. This is where I want to be. And now I can relax a little bit. Well, a lot of things suffer on that on that front because you are upset with accomplishing your goals and everything else is secondary. When you get older, you regret it. Good. You just re good. It's an interesting balance, isn't it throughout life? Here's a fun one for you. It's life from Jesse bro. And I'm going to do it with the accent. He wants to know your favorite Arnold movie. My favorite Arnold movie. Let's see. Arnold, um. Well, you know, you can say, I think terminator two, I told him. I said, you have the easiest movies in the world to do. You just walk down the middle of the street punching the crap out of everybody. And no one hurts you. Unfortunately, my characters all get beat up smashed, cut, shot. This is a joke a little bit, but I believe that his films were he's very witty guy. So he was good. I think true lies. It was very, very good. 'cause he combined everything in that. You know, the width that this, the romantic aspect, the charm, and then great option with a great director. So that'd do it. That's great. You know, for some reason, I just hear him from kindergarten cop going. It's not a tool. So there's a question from Ali for his lie. He wants to know, have you ever visited your father's hometown in Italy? No, I'm kind of nervous to do that. A, B, and C is because I don't speak Italian. And I think that would be kind of. Inconvenient and embarrassing to work through an interpreter. Hello, and this and that. Maybe it's better left on unexplored because I don't know if it would be plus all, by the way, all my relatives are pretty much gone from there. You know, they've sort of moved on in age and else elsewhere. So I don't know if it would work out very well. I might be embarrassed. But I do look back on it. I hear this story from my answer, remember my father. Of course, hindsight is 2020 and they said, oh, it was like Disneyland. I'm not sure about that. But it did seem to have a lot of charm. I have to be beholden to it because I guess I emanated from that area via my father and mother. Yeah. Well, so we really appreciate you coming on. I know you've had a very long day. You've probably got to go back on set soon and get a few hours of sleep, get up in the morning and do it again. And again, and again and again and again until it's done. I want to let you have the last word here and you've got a lot of people that are listening now, a lot that are going to be listening to the replay of this that couldn't make it live. I want to give you the floor to just inspire people would say whatever you want to say to motivate and lift them up for whatever challenges they're facing right now. Well, that's a tall, tall order. Do you have about ten hours? I can write a novel on this. Please do. I know. Maybe I will. A girl today said, mister Simone, I'm an actress. She's one of the extras. And I was an expert, so I get it. Do you have any advice? Well, there's so much out there, so much competition. And this, not just the my industry in the world in general. You have to find what you think you're a specialist at. Enacting a few comedic, if you have a rough exterior and kind of a deep voice, you're not going to ever be hired as to love interest. You're going to be the bad guy. So focus on being that interesting bad guy. And there are certain actors that have played that kind of heavy and have worked their whole life. I think in the real world, what can I do that I really enjoy and I'm fairly good at. I may not make a fortune, but I like going to work every day because this sort of interests me. And when you take a job just for money, which often you have to, it's just a placeholder. You're not emotionally attached. It's like being in a relationship with someone that you don't love anymore. And you know how that goes. So find something that you love or you think you can grow to love and focus on that. And I know I'm simplifying it, but I promise you, for example, if I didn't make it as an actor, I go, okay. That was a big possibility. What would you have done slang? And I go, my love horses. I love the smell of them. I.

"Role gave you the hardest time ever in terms of preparation. The hardest time ever. There's twofold. Are you talking about a mental or physical? Whichever way you want to. No, no, no, physical. When I was doing rocky three, that took a toll. I mean, big time. And so did the expendables one. After expendables, one, I was never the same. I ended up having three next surgeries, box surgery, both shoulders done, bronchitis, shingles. You name it. That film did me in. Actually, it dampened my desire to every direct. That's it. It's life is too short, forget it. But right now, no question at 75. And this is, I think there's a lesson to be learned here. I'm facing my greatest challenge. I have in this streamy show called Tulsa king. There's ten episodes. Each screenplay is about, let's say, 60 to 65 pages. That's 650 pages. I have to learn close to 475 pages of constant dialog. 475 pages. Not just my dialog. I have to learn the other fellow's dialog so I can have this rapport. So I get up at my age, every morning at four 30. And I sit there for three hours, banging away, banging away. It can see it, I have it. I mean, my screenplay, everything is here. I've just worked here working nonstop writing, I don't know if you can see it, all the notes this and that. It's never ending. Never ending. So that's the kind of challenge. Now, sometimes I wake up. I go, I can't do this. I can't hold it together. It's too much. It's way too intense. I'm in every scene. And then I feel sorry for myself. I move around, have a cup of coffee, go, hey, come on. This is too late an hour, bro you're out. There's no coming back. You're on you're in the middle of the tightrope. You're either going to fall off or try to get to the other side. And then I just keep pushing through and that's it. So that's the challenge I'm talking about. I put myself at a particular where I could be in a situation where I could be humiliated. Can we embarrass? I have this giant 100 million plus show riding on my ability to remember and act. And I go, okay. And if there's ever any question, there's this guy who posts videos on Instagram. Karina, you're with us. Right. Go ahead and ask your question. Please, it's like. What was your reaction when you were choosing to play a role? What was the first part of the question? She asked what was your reaction when you were chosen to play rocky? I wasn't chosen. No one else wanted me. So the reaction was kind of miraculous. I didn't think this was ever going to happen. Obviously, because they didn't want me. I didn't have any credentials. And there were so many guys back then that were stars that wanted to play the part. So it was miraculous, and then I got scared. Like, oh God, I talked to good game, but I don't know if I could pull it off. I haven't done anything even close to carrying a film. So to put it lightly, it was exhilarating, terrifying, and then edifying. It was the ultimate validation. So I was really happy that I chose myself. Well, and to be clear, I think there's a lot of people that don't understand how that happened. That's your script that's your story. And in studios wanted it, but they didn't want you to play it. And you insisted, right? I did insist that I did insist playing the role of rocky, but it was a difficult choice because I was flat broke. And they were making extraordinary offers at the time. And I didn't know if I could really pull it off. I didn't know if I had the acting chops. But it's one of those monumental crossroads you're going to face. That it's like marriage, heavily kid, getting to kind of job, did you make the right choice that you marry the right person? Did you get the right job? Are you raising your child right or wrong? And that I realized that if I, and I needed the money, man, I'm telling you, I was flat, broke a 106 bucks. Oh my God. It was over. But I also realized if I quit, if I give up, which is exactly what the film is about, not doing. I would hate myself for the rest of my life. I knew it. I just, I would always, every time I saw a feature every time I saw a film, I said, that could have been me. But you quit sly, and now you got to live with it. And I know my nature, there's no way I could. I could have handled that. So that's why I was all in. And I used to hold your dog, but a lot of people don't know the happy ending there. What happened to this? Well, my God, but I remember I was living in a valley. It was boiling. You had no air conditioning, nothing. Actually, my wife was walking around with Kleenex in her nose because it nose bleeds from the heat. And the dog was a big dog. Really? I say, you got to stop bleeding into the spaghetti, honey. You can't tell the difference with the sauce. Sort of, not really. Anyway, the dog, I couldn't afford dog food anyone. It was that broke. And the dog is big. So he ate a lot of food. And I went to the 7 11 and put up a for sale sign and fellow came along. And bought a dog for 40 bucks. And it killed me because I raised that dog. I've never had a dog since like that because when you're broke, he's with you every second. I had a, you know, like a 100 ft² apartment. Nothing. It was like a closet, me and the dog. Can you imagine? No. Every day. And the movie was sold, and I want to get my dog back in the fellow goes, no. Please, come on, because no. And eventually I ended up paying $1500 back. Now, this is 1976. That's like $10,000. $8000 today. And he had to get a part in the movie. Yeah, he did. It's a badass move right there. That is, you know, that is the icing on the cake that just became a star. Everyone went along on the ride. So denuncio wants to know, that's a great Italian name right there. Asks, what is the biggest missed opportunity and why did it happen that way? Do you see any opportunities as missed opportunities? Oh yeah, yeah. There was no missed opportunities before rocky because there was no opportunities. Period. So I didn't miss anything. But I missed a lot of opportunities after rocky because of perhaps pompous news, perhaps of arrogance, or a business brain was turned on at the time. That's primarily it. Also artistically, I was supposed to do some very, very important films. For.

"My stars with his stars. And that's that. That worked out well for you. I love the winning attitude. You always convene your movies that idea of there's nothing that will hold me down. It's so inspirational to so many and so natural to you. What is it that pushes you to greatness in everyday life when you've already achieved so much? What motivates you what inspires you? I think the soul is bottomless. I don't think there's a ground zero. Oh, I hit the complete floor of my ability. I don't think that exists. I think that the more you dig deeper, the farther you go, the higher you climb, oh, wow. This mouthing keeps going. It doesn't end. We sometimes try to create a scenario. Well, I have nothing more to prove. That's not true. I mean, you can always prove more if you want. Quite often, now you've perhaps have gotten a little down on life and you're saying, I'm not that happy anymore. And if you're not happy, you're not going to be ambitious. So I try to keep my mood up. The point is, I believe that you've got to continue to push forward to find some, I don't know, challenge. I mean, for lack of a better term, some go. I like messing just taking all the cards of the deck and throwing them in the air and see what lands where. For example, I lived in California for 40 years. Four O big time. That's what you call a lifetime entrenched. Within three days, I said I'm out of here. Gone. And one of the reasons I did that is I was settled in. I realized I was going in circles, it was the same streets, the same repetition, same people, and that's not interesting. I could feel myself, my battery's going down and down and down. Once I moved away, oh my God, you talk about stimulation. You're on fire. You have a whole new environment stimulus, isn't that? Now, I'm not recommending that everyone moves, but if you start to change your pattern, in other words, oh, I'm not going to go to the store, but I go to this restaurant. I'm going to go to that neighborhood. I'm going to try this. I want to dress this way. All of a sudden, your brain is getting new stimulus. And one thing activates another. So inspiring. One of our users, kuka submitted this question. He mentioned that he really loved John Harris feld's documentary, the making of rocky versus Drago. He says it's one of the best behind the scenes Doc cities ever seen. It really, many years this question in the documentary he used that this. Life is about management of problems. Whoever manages their problems best has the best life, so the question is what are some specific tips and techniques you used for managing problems when you were a younger man and how has that changed now that you're older and wiser? Well, that's a good question. I won't sort of lie in a screenplay. I don't even know if it was original, but if you don't get rid of your problems, eventually your problems are going to get rid of you. It's going to overwhelm you. And goodbye. That's the end. I found that it's really hard, but you know, you know what your problem is. You can't lie to yourself. I mean, you know it. If you're abusive or you're this, you're not good to your dog, you know it. But to not face it, they're not, so fix it. It's not brains. It's there. I found myself sometimes when I'm working on the set, I get a little annoyed or I get impatient, I get tired, I get shortened people. And I can see it affected the whole set. Now you apply that to life in your house, you're walking around with my shoes, good luck. I'm not happy. You don't say good morning. You know, it's a good night. You don't say I love you. It's like you're getting morose. Guess what? You got a morose house. So you are the architect of your life. You're the engineer of your trade. You are driving your own cab. So you can take it wherever the hell you want to go. So on the set, I decided to say to people, hey, you're doing a great job of a wardrobe. Wow, that makeup looks fantastic. The cameraman, you know what? Your light is fantastic. What I tell you, they applaud the set as opposed to going, he's back. They welcome me. And that is something that I've learned the hard way. I said, it's all about what you give out is what you get. It period. A 100%. 100%. You want to be a schmuck, you're going to be three elections. It would be nice to be nice. And people would be nice. And if they're not nice, you know what? Later, that's their problem. You find mean people. Guess what? Pity them. Because they're stuck in that head. At least you can get in a cab and leave. They can't. They are caught in that horrible syndrome called their brain. Okay? Seems like a really opportune time to say, I pitted a fool. I put in a food. So here's a fun one, and you could be brief. You don't have to elaborate but the question from relic ton was Wesley Snipes and demolition man in Mr. T and rocky, which was more fun to work with. Oh, I think Mr. T mister. Because I felt as though he was a fresh canvas. I saw him literally as a bouncer doorman four years earlier. I said, this is really unique individual. It's a little Mohawk to change. He was wearing a tuxedo with no shirt. I went. Okay. Entails. So the time came four or 5 years, four years later, that I ended up writing rocky three, I auditioned professional fighters, Joe Frazier. He gave me stitches, Ernie shavers, but not me call us at forget fighters. But I recall that guy because if he burned that kind of impression into my mind that I'm still thinking about him four years later, can you imagine what the audience is going to be like? So I brought him in and I realized he was like fresh clay. You could mold and he didn't have any bad habits. And he had great voice. He had great pipes. He had a look about him. So by far, he was a pleasure. Wesley, on the other hand, I don't want to smack his face every day. I'm sure he's okay. He was a great guy. We had a great time, but Wesley was already a star, and he had his own world in this and that, whereas Mr. T became very close, like family. And that's great. Karina 89, this stage is yours, ask us why your question, please. Marina 89 are you with us? Make sure you're unmuted because we can't read lips. And we don't have smoke signals here.

"Your career and what you thought of Brooklyn at the time. Well, I was unaware of it. I mean, I was, you know, I grew up in hell's kitchen, New York, and so I never really left Manhattan. So I came back after a long journey living here and living there, living in Manhattan. And I had no idea that I was ever going to do lords of flatbush. I was actually helping another guy audition for an acting class. I have basically almost given up on acting. And there happened to be the director sitting in the audience and the fellow who was auditioning didn't get the job in the director goes, hey, why don't you be in the film? And I go, I don't know. Anyway, we lost track of each other because they had no money to make this film. This film, I think, all in was maybe 200 grand the most, and they're borrowing from their dentist, their barrier from the relatives. That's how the film was made. On a 16 millimeter camera, so I lost track of the guy. And he finally got his money, but I could not find. He couldn't find me. The thing is, the fella that auditioned with me hated my guts at the moment because he goes, hey, you know, I auditioned for the movie. You get the part and I get nowhere, so he wouldn't tell the director where I live. But finally, after about 6 months, they knocked on my door 'cause I didn't have enough money to have a telephone then. And they found me, and the rest is history. Then we got the flatbush. And I said, wow, this is a whole unique experience. This was great. And before you know it, I just fell in love with the whole attitude, especially in the early 70s of flatbush New York. Great. That's awesome. So thank you so much for sharing. Just amazing. Thank you. A big idol of mine and just wanted to thank you. Appreciate it. Appreciate the question, TSB. Thanks so much. You can go ahead and bring you back to the audience. I can't tell from all of the usernames here if we can have a mod to assist. I'm looking for tribal warrior and kuka they get to ask the questions. If you're not one of those two people, please lower your hand. In the request to speak and that will help us identify you. In the meantime, we have a question from mantis toboggan. He says, yo sly, love your body of work. My question is, music is an integral part of our lives, a good song to make us laugh, cry, or lift weights at the gym, what are some of your favorite mood boosting workout songs to listen to, excluding rocky sounds? Hey, not fair. That's a fair. I tend to. I tend to go for a hardcore 70s rock and roll, which is to me very, very driving, and animalistic. And some of the groups, perhaps you've never even heard of, like, white trash that was Edgar Winter, fantastic. You talk about driving music that was fantastic. And then again, I vacillate to doobie brothers and Mike McDonald, which is not driving music, but it just keeps me, I don't know, just feeling good. And if you feel good in the gym, then you work out. Some music I understand a lot of people use a rap music and very hip hop because it's a driving beat, but I tend to like vocalization and old school voices. You know, like Bob Seger and things like that and gentlemen like that who have this very powerful, heavy duty master voice, which is kind of like part and parcel of real rock and roll. Then that's what I listen to is that era. Great great answer. Stand O three wants to know who was the person that mentored you the most in Hollywood during the beginning of your acting career. Well, unfortunately, nobody is when I got to Hollywood. I was persona non grata, a matter of fact. I would go on casting calls and they would look at me and go, you know, you have a speech impediment. I wasn't aware of it until you told me, but I guess I do slur a little bit. They said, really, you should look for other employment. So I didn't have any mentors. And that's why I turned to writing. I had a couple of small parts on kojak and police story at the time. And it didn't fare well. I realized I just was going to be, you know, I'll be around for a year or two, maybe doing these kinds of shows. And then I was going to be gone, completely. I felt that I didn't have the sustainability. Because why? Because I want to let me just clarify this. Unless you have a character that connects big time with the audience and develops an indelible impression such as Bruce Wallace was going around. He wasn't doing so good, and then he does die hard. There it is. 30 year career. Arnold floundering around doing this back terminator. Me, same thing, rocky bang. And I realized I'm never going to find this part because it doesn't exist. So that's why I turned to writing. Now, trust me, I had no rating skills whatsoever. Never passed an English course in my life. But through trial and error and just desire, it came about. And then I just wrote about my insecurities, my dreams, by this, my that, and lo and behold, other people identified with it. So sometimes you don't need an actual on the ground mentor. You perhaps can take a role model or someone who says, oh, yeah. This fellow here, like when I was growing up, I was skinny. I was not imposing at all to say the least. Then I went to see a movie called Hercules unchained at 12 years old, with Steve Reeves, and I saw the future. I said, that is the path I'm taking. I want to be like that guy. That mythical figure, which is a joke. It's an absurd dream, but it pointed me in the direction. And that's what I think mentoring is all about. Looking around until you find a fellow's career. I'm going to follow his route. I'm going to read all about him. I'm going to try to see.

"Say hello. Hey, mister Stallone, it's an absolute honor to be speaking with you today. My name is Tony de Janeiro and my four kids and I are die hard rocky fans. Movies have been a huge part of my family's life and we really appreciate that. Well, thank you. So when you you're more than welcome. We live here in Philadelphia. And I think it goes without saying that Philly loves even though Ron is just a fictional character. Right. At least really identified with, I feel like he represents us and he's one of us. Well, my question for you is why did you choose Philly? Has the setting for the rocky series? Well, that's a good question because usually the majority of these fight films that I grew up on were always seemed to be emanating from New York or Chicago, New York, Chicago, Detroit, and I had a period where I was a little bit, I guess lost as a teenager and I said, I don't know what I want to do with my life. And I literally had 16 left school. And I didn't think I was going to leave it permanently, but I was just truant. I had, I guess, attention deficit. You know, it's just hard to concentrate. It's not that unusual. But back then, they thought you were just the juvenile delinquent. So I said, okay, I'll leave. And I got a job along the waterfront, front street, fishtown, and back then, these were all ships and longshore men, and I got to drive, I got a job driving a forklift and three quarter ton truck. And I really understood that world. So jumping ahead about 5 to ten years, I was not making it as an actor, at least not the way I thought. I was always being cast as kind of like the tough guy or the miscreant or the bully. I said, you know what, maybe I should just take this character, which is pretty limited and write a story about him as a guy who is seeing on the outside as being a wise guy, intimidating, dressing and leather, the hat to cut off gloves. But inside, he's really a nice guy. He is lost. He doesn't know what to do with his life. Now we have the character. I needed a city. That reflected this underdog feeling. A city that has culture that has history, but has also been dealt some tough tough situations. And I Philadelphia, there it is. That's a very unique city. It's respected, but it also is very, very feisty. And it's a comeback city. The athletes, the fighters, they all have a unique Philadelphia sound and look and feel. So that's why I did Philly. Thank you so much, mister salon. We love you here in Philly. Thank you. That's fantastic. Thanks, sliced all of Philadelphia. Well, we see your tweets and how excited you are about this. So we're really glad to have you in the community. While we're waiting for a couple of the others who had the opportunity to speak voice, here's a question from DB acting, he says, hey, sly, what do you think it will take for the action genre to thrive outside of comic book films? I don't ask that as a hater of comic book movies just a fan of the classics and wonder what will keep the genre fresh. Oh, boy. I don't know. If we're ever going to have that golden era. When I started out, there really wasn't an action film thing, per se. There would be action beats like a car chase or something like that. If you hear any extraneous noise, I'm on a movie set right now. We have forklifts and people like when I grew up trucks grindy, so we're trying to get rid of them as we speak. I'm breaking your little color from the environment here. So it's very, very difficult to find action guys. We'll ask you guys, not karate, not Kung fu, not wrestling. But it's a unique blend. It's maybe been in my estimation three or four guys. Period that have been what I call action guys and not martial artists that kick and no, you don't have to be that. Arnold wasn't that Bruce wasn't that I'm not, you know what I mean? So I don't know if it's going to come back because it's a different era and more importantly, they're not taking chances and trying to find guys like that anymore. It almost politically right now. They're considered oh, it's just toxic masculinity or is this, you know, guys being behaving badly. And I think unless there's a shift back to that sort of mentality. Which I think is happening, by the way, when you see films like Yellowstone, I mean, shows like Yellowstone and they're very, very desirable. And they're like, I think they're starting to proliferate. But you're not going to see it for a while until the studio finds a reason to make these films. And right now, they think that it's not exciting enough. It's not big enough, like marvel. These are 350 million, $400 million productions. And they're very exciting. They're not grounded in reality, but they're entertaining. A reality, like first blood, a, it's very hard to do, not many people want to do it. It's incredibly physical. And it doesn't have any CGI. So you're not going to have a lot of guys voluntary for that gig because it's rough. And also, like I said, politically, it's not the era at the moment for that kind of guy. I believe it'll come around. And there's a lot of tough guys out there and talented guys that would like to take a shot at it. So, but at the time, I just don't think it's the time at the moment. So I'm glad to be able to do it. Appreciate that answer. Thank you. We have one of our fans right here. TBS are you get to go ahead and ask your question to mister Stallone? Hello, mister salon. This is a pleasure and an honor. So I've been waiting a long time to speak with you. I was engaged a year ago. We went to Philly, ran the rocky steps to celebrate. And I'm hoping for our honeymoon will be Miami to meet you as things are just lining up perfectly. So I'm just hoping that all works out. But I want to know originally from Brooklyn, a big fan of all the flap which was a long memory, so I wanted to see if you could share one with us from early in.

"Who's that? In your world, welcome to the bad crypto podcast. I don't think I can do the voice really well. I've been Travis can do it better. I don't know, I'm never talking to the guy, so I don't even know what his folks like. I've seen him on a movie. Just give me a Rambo scream or something. But I'm also on the big screen today. I don't think those video on the big screen and I'm larger than life and that's how I live my life one day at a time, larger than I should be. You're just right sized, Travis. You're a Travis right size. You're Travis right size. Listen, I want to give a quick shout out to our sponsor here today and let you guys know that modern crypto mining can really suck. It uses a lot of electricity. It can be bad for the environment. And gather network has figured out a way to both reduce the environmental impacts of crypto mining and help web publishers earn extra money from their content. So basically, visitors opt into the service and it uses the user's idle processing power to mine cryptocurrency. So basically you got your computer and while it's not doing nothing, your processors just sitting there, you know, reading the newspaper or something, it could be mining crypto for you. If you want to figure out how to monetize your web content, get rewarded, go to gather dot network, check it out, and we will be having them on the show in the not too distant future so that we can ask our questions and get more answers directly from them on what they're doing. Around the campfire, children will roast the marshmallows. It'll be great. So a number of months ago, boy probably 6, 7 or more. I don't know. A year ago. We had that first call a year ago when I was in palmas. How about that? So it was a year ago, because I remember when we were having a conversation with those guys, originally, it was when I was in that place in Palmer's my Airbnb at the time. That's right. That was a long time ago and Paul miss Farr far away. It would have been over a year ago when we had that call based on the timestamp right now. Well, so long and short of it is I'm cofounder of a project called planet sly. And we're working with Sylvester Stallone, had the opportunity to meet with him at his place in Florida and discuss creating a PFP project that would create massive value for holders of the project Stallone's real goal is to engage and interact with his fans and connect with them. And so planets slide dot com is launching soon. The website is up. The Discord is up. Our communities over 25,000 people right now. And we told the Discord community that when we hit 20,000 people, Stallone himself is going to come on and do an AMA and people can submit all kinds of questions. Whatever they want to ask. And so interestingly enough, because our team is answering so many of the questions about the NFT project in the Discord and on the website, the questions that people wanted to ask were of a more personal nature. Travis, if you could ask a question about anything, what would it be? Well, actually, I would say this is that if I haven't been in Dubai, then I would have probably flown to Florida with you to meet Sylvester Stallone that day that you met him. And I was like, so my question is Travis, why was I in Dubai? Instead, I'm going to meet sly. You were doing to buy instead of slide. But honestly, if you had a question, you've seen movies and you're followed his career. What would you want to know? I would probably be something rocky related or something along those. Or it's like, I'd probably ask him, what does he think is the worst movie he ever made? Does he hate the most? And it was probably what was the one that I don't stop at your mom's shoes or something like that. It probably, I guess one of those, like what was his least favorite movie or maybe rhinestone, although who wouldn't like working with, wasn't it Dolly Parton? That was in rhinestone with him. I wasn't Robert Redford in that too or something? I don't remember. I don't think I watched it. I was rhinestone cowboy. That was a different one. Boy. So anyway, this is a 45 minute ask me anything that had the opportunity to do a Sylvester Stallone. Many people from the Discord got to ask questions directly. I read the others and had a couple of questions of my own. So if you go to, if you're watching this on YouTube, you'll actually see sly and just hear the voice of myself and the others that got to ask him questions. If you're just listening, the reason that it sounds like I'm remotely is because they recorded it in slice trailer on location for a TV show. This is his first real TV series he's doing. You'll learn more about that in the AMA and that's why I sound distant. His recording is great because he's right there in the trailer himself. So without any further recording, my recording sounds nonexistent because I wasn't there. Because you wasn't there. I'm just here for Phil right now and to be on the big screen before I'm the main attraction before you see this professor Sloan guy. He's new. He's upcoming guy. You might, you're going to hear maybe more about him in the future. Could be a thing. You know, you might want to pay attention. Yeah. All right, so grab your popcorn and here we go with Sylvester Stallone. It's fantastic. Sly was great to see you in Florida. We're really excited. The whole team's super excited to be working on this lie guys with you before we jump into the AMA. Why don't you go ahead and tell people what it is you're doing in Oklahoma City. Okay, you're busted me. I'm doing a thing called the Tulsi king, which is a fantastic project from paramount plus. It's the same team that the Yellowstone in the mayor of Kingstown and Taylor Sheridan is company. And also the group that did Sopranos. The writers in the show runners, which are really the key. People don't understand we hear showrunner. It's even above a director. There is charge of everything. They're basically the power on the set. And we have the best fellow named Terry winter. So what they're coming up with so far has been extraordinary. I don't know if I'll ever make a movie again. I think I'll stick around here. I like this. This is interesting. Yeah, television is a different beast than motion picture. Isn't it? Well, big time. First of all, I barely I just bought a trailer. I don't think I get to it four times a day. It's just nonstop. We're ready. We're ready. We're ready. We're in movies. You could literally sit there for 5 hours, and they breed you out for about a ten second shot. It's always like hurry up and wage hurry up and wait in films, not this business new. We're going to look forward to seeing that show for sure for anybody who's fans of Yellowstone, you know, this is coming from an amazing team and with lying and it's going to be amazing. Thank you. So we have a lot of questions for you today's slide and the first four are going to be asked by the individuals who submitted them. They have shown themselves to go above and beyond the Call of Duty in the planets like community. And we've got 25,000 people in this community, but these foreign particular, they're going to have an opportunity to ask you their questions directly and so the first one that I want to bring to the stage as a question is I'm going ahead and invite you up here now, good. So make sure those of you who are on the list here to ask your questions to make sure you're on the ready when I invite you up so we can get that question. Perfect. All right, let's see. While we're waiting on him to join, I'm also going to enjoy slice Stallone, Philadelphia. You can come on up. And there's still a stolen Philadelphia. Let's go ahead and you go first and share the first one to pop in here,.

Sly Stallone Buries the Hatchet With Bruce Willis
"We talked about Bruce Willis suffering from a dementia like illness, which is really sad. And, you know, a few years ago, when Sylvester Stallone was doing the next expendables, Bruce Willis held out for a lot of dough. He wouldn't do it unless he got paid a lot of money. And it got to be a bad thing. It got to be, you know, Stallone was bad bouncing him in the press and on Twitter and it was like, oh my God, these guys were mad. But now because of the illness, Stallone is keeping Bruce Willis in his prayers and, you know, I think he's doing the right thing. The other day he posted photos of him and Bruce Willis over the years. And he wrote a very heartwarming message to Bruce's family, despite the fact that these two guys were once engaged in this very public feud and sly said, we go back a long way. I'm praying for the best for you and your wonderful family.

Christian Toto: Hollywood Is Rapidly Losing Its Grasp of What the People Want
"But Christian the weird part is I mean I'm only 47 I'm not that old I mean I'm not a spring chicken but you know I'm halfway through my life I remember just a decade or two ago Hollywood used to make fun of this stuff This was a punch line I give you an example You're a Hollywood guy Remember demolition man Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock think the running joke in that movie was that culture becomes so PC Sylvester Stallone wakes up from cryo freeze whatever decades later And he can't believe it How everybody gets harangued for saying the wrong word at the wrong time on the street Hollywood used to make fun of this stuff and now they're exactly what they were making fun of So there's no excuse to like oh my gosh we didn't know you literally wrote movies about it Yeah the lack of self awareness is something we see aggressively on the left these days but it carries over into Hollywood They don't get it They really don't get it They're thinking about a new Oscar host and I would think they might even say let's try Stephen Colbert He's a funny guy Not even realizing that half the country loads him because he's aggressively political and mean spirited So I think that's the way that there is a bubble mentality within Hollywood where back in the 90s they would understand that They had a grasp of what the culture wanted with the people wanted They're losing that rapidly and it's

"Have you ever seen the movie cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone? I was just watching that movie the other night. It had the usual acting you might expect from a Stallone action flick. But what really struck me was the opening scene. I had forgotten how intense it was. Stallone's character was helping a female climber. I can't remember the name of the actress, but anyway, she was sliding across the rope. From one cliff to another. When her harness came unbuckled as she fell out of the harness. Stallone slid across the rope and grabbed her hand. We have all seen that I got you move in so many movies. It's cliche at best, except for in this movie instead of rescuing the girl, there is a prolonged sequence where her hand begins to slip out of Stallone's grip finger by finger. The whole time. She is screaming. I don't want to die. The backdrop behind her looks to be over a mile down to the valley floor. If you haven't seen the movie before you were sitting there waiting for him to grab her with his other hand, or somehow saved the day, But this movie catches you off guard. Unlike the typical Hollywood happy, ending her hand slips all the way out. She falls well, maintaining eye contact with Stallone, her horrifying scream and the look on her face as she falls really got my blood pressure going. No, actually, But I do save people from following. Unlike Stallone, nobody has ever slipped out of my hands. Not a single one of my clients has ever had their retirement fall off a cliff, and not one of them has ever lost a penny due to stock market losses. I bet some of you wish you retirement wasn't at risk of being dropped off a cliff at all. For that reason alone, now would be a good time to call. How about a guarantee of a bonus on your money of up to 10% or more? How about a guarantee of.

I didn't know what was left to tell the story. I've loved all these other rocky movies. But there's been a long hiatus now. I was stunned. You cover every demographic in this. I mean looking at it from a from a production and marketing point. It looks like the first rocky movie cinema. Graphically you haven't gussied it up with a bunch of computer generated fireworks it. You've got life messages in this movie for everybody. Pg what had happened is a good friend of mine says faludi. Who wrote that book stiffed. Which a couple years ago is about the diminishing and kind of like deluding of the american male in the workforce and after you know this planned obsolescence almost for world war two and every generation. It seems to get harder and harder for a man to express himself and we seem to be slowly being moved on this conveyor belt out before we're ready to be moved out and it was kind of a wanted rocky showed that he still has he says has some stuff in the basement. He has a flame in his heart and i think a lot of the american male feels that way but society goes nassau. You've had your you know you're up at bat and it's time to move on and go. Well maybe you should move on when you're ready to move on if you wouldn't take the humiliation of sticking your head above the crowd maybe it's you know it's pleasure will be worth the pain.
