Bryan Callen Reveals Sylvester Stallone’s Hidden Talent

Good luck at the word and the kind of person. There are people out there that actually want credit for coming up with an idea that they didn't come up with. There are people out there that want like show runners, right, that step in after someone's created a pilot and they say, I want created by credit. Seen it. And then I'll run the show. That happens. Oh yeah. That is one of the most bonkers things you ever seen in Hollywood. You get a conversation in a goddamn room and then a year later you got the show and that person will show up and sue you. Oh yeah. And it's happened. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I knew a dude who submitted a script to a major Hollywood production company. They turned him down and then they went ahead and made the movie. Yeah. And they made the movie, it was a blockbuster with big time stars. He sued them. He won. He should win. And he got his name on the book, on the movie. Yeah. Well, that's fair because people do that all the time. A lot of times if you're not a writer and you're an executive, you're under so much pressure to come up with an idea. Somebody comes up with an idea and you're like, that's a good idea. We could, but I got a better, we could add some shit to it. Right. But you're supposed to have a deal. You're supposed to make a deal. It's called don't take what doesn't belong to you. Don't be a fucking thieving cunt. Don't be a thieving cunt. Yeah. The movie was The Expendables. Yeah. It's very easy. The guy was a writer for, he was a student of Eddie Bravo's. Really? Yeah. So I was around when the whole thing was going down. Wow. We were all like, whoa, they just stole your idea. They just jacked it. Well, speaking of The Expendables, you know my new favorite person is- Allegedly. I should say allegedly to all the things I've just said. I don't know if this is true. It could have been a big giant lie. Someone was on Adderall and they just started lying to me. My new favorite person is a guy named Sly Stallone. Oh, can I tell you he went to his house for the fights? Yeah, but like I learned some shit about him. Me, David Blaine showed up and you got to have him on the podcast. David Blaine showed up and did magic. Actually, I don't. How about that? Listen. I don't. David Blaine on the podcast. I'm just saying. I'll be fine. I'm just saying. I think he'd be a great guest. Don't get me wrong. And I think you'd like it. I don't like you telling him what to do. All right, I'm just saying, bro. You have to have him on. What the fuck is that? Look at that picture. I told his daughter to take that picture and I just got- because I wanted to jump in while they were all doing that and it was just me and behind him. How thick is Stallone's hair? That is preposterous. He looks fantastic. How is it still so good? A couple of things about Sly you don't know. Not for one. How is his hair so good? Because he's fucking sly. Do you think he has someone who does them up before the picture? He knows you guys are coming over so he has his hairdresser puff it all up. He shows up like that and just looks- I like how he's got the Jay Leno shirt on too. Great fucking sense of humor. Oh, he does. I interviewed him once for Spike TV. So funny. He was hilarious. Someone heckled and he goes, hey, Ma. He's got it. And on top of that- Look at you. I know. I'm all excited. You think I'm not cool in that group? Why does Arnold look so solemn? Because he was watching the fight. He didn't give a fuck about anybody. This fight is very important. But he's also really cool when you talk to him. I'm sure. But me and Delia, Delia goes like this to me. We're sitting there with all those legends and Delia goes like this. He goes, I got weird shit going on in my chest, man. I feel weird. He didn't know what to do with all his- That's hilarious. Fucking Frank Grillo was so funny. How about that bartender? Like, what about me, man? Oh my God. He's trying to poke his head over his shoulder. I mean, could you- do you get any more famous? Fuck. Imagine being a fly on that wall. You know what Stallone's really good at? Besides horseback riding? I'm a class horseback rider. Sucking cock? No, man. I just made that up. No, painting. Oh, I believe that. Me, Delia, ask Delia about it. Me, Delia, David Bland and Frank Grillo are following him around his house like a couple, like beta, like little puppies as he's pointing to his insane paintings. That he's made himself. Oh, dude. That's amazing. Sales him for, I won't even go to how much. I went, how much is he selling for? And the number he gave me, I went, of course. And I looked at Frank and I went, Frank, I'm going to pay him. Wait, first of all, why are you asking him numbers? Because I ask personal fucking questions. That's so weird. Because I ask personal questions. In that weird of you? No, because I wanted one. Okay. But don't you feel weird saying, hey, man, how much money do you make? No, I said, well, I said, I said, if I wanted to buy, like, would you sell these? He goes, yeah, I go, can you give me a ballpark figure? And then ballpark figure I went, oh, that's, I'll never be able to buy that. But they were so cool. Don't sell yourself short. You should live your life and your goal should be having enough money so it seems reasonable to buy a Stallone painting. That should be your magic feature. That's why I want to sell out the Wilbur, everybody. Look at those paintings. He's a great painter. That's actually kind of cool. What is that? What's going on back there? I'm telling you. Is that an elephant? A clock? That's a dude's back. What is that? I don't know. He's a great painter. This is what I was younger. It's so good. Is that supposed to be him? I looked at Grillo and I got mad. I went, hey, I'm a fucking loser. I got to get myself together. I got to do something else. Listen, man, the guy does a lot of shit. Did he take a, did he paint himself? No, I think it's getting mixed in with pictures of him. Yeah. Paintings of him. Yeah. No, he's a, look, man, the guy wrote Rocky and then would not accept them having anybody else play the character when he was nobody. He's got balls of steel. Blaine took a video of me listening to him as he read the first page of the Rocky script in his office. I wish I wasn't there. I would have ran through that wall like the fucking Kool-Aid man. I'm like, I can't. Boom. I can't. I got to get out of here. He told us a story about how Joe Frazier came into audition for it, for the Apollo Creed thing. And he said, you know, I want, you know, we decided to do some boxing just to have him, you know, cause they were going to be fight scenes. And he said, he said, I tried to. He goes, Frazier started tapping me in different places. And I, he literally was just like, what the fuck is going, it was like getting caught in a buzz saw. He's like, wait, this is not going to work in a movie. What the fuck are you doing? And then, and it's the same thing with Robert Duran. He's like, I'll box a little bit. He said, I started getting hit like in so many different places that it's, I felt like it was on a washing machine. The way he tells the story is fucking. Yeah. Those guys, they know what was younger. Rose Rambo. The best. Look at my fucking Italian fucking home. Look at that fucking hair in Peyton. Yeah. He's interesting. His daughters are fucking great too. He's a, yeah. He's a, he's a really fascinating guy. Very, very unusual guy. And the thing about him is like, he's done so many of these big blockbuster hits that I think people forget that he can actually act. If you go back and watch Rocky one, you go, Oh, like this guy's a really good actor. Yeah, dude. He was in Rocky one man. You get to see like who he was, you know, a young guy. Well, in first blood, when he got that script, he's the one who said, cause he was a homicidal maniac, the character. And he said, I said, this isn't going to work. He's got to be a killer, but specifically you can't just kill everybody. He's got to have a philosophy behind why he fucking does this. He's got to have a bubbles. I love that movie. How great was it? Yeah. That's, that's young, angry, skinny faced alone. Look at them cheeks on. He was 165. I think when he made that movie, I believe it. Yeah. Fascinating character in Hollywood. I mean, you've never had a guy with the longevity that Sylvester's 45 years. He's still making action movies. He's 150,000 years old. He's still making action movies and you buy it. Bill Burr was there. He's been there the two times I've been there and Bill, you know, Bill, Bill Burr went to the house. Yeah. He's, he's there every time. So Bill goes, um, I'm listening. I'm standing like a fucking loser. It's Stallone. It's Schwarzenegger. And I think, uh, did a Pacino and they're talking. It's my childhood. And I'm, I kind of in the, I'm standing in that group sort of, cause I'm like this and I don't want to say anything. I want to say anything just about something. Did you want to impress him with some of your esoteric knowledge? So badly. So badly. I was, I was, I wasn't even listening. I was like, what can I say? Hey, you guys ever read, uh, um, Chomsky? Yeah. Chomsky, whatever. Anyway, look a fucking loser. And Bill Burr, Bill Burr walks up behind me. Bill Burr walks up to me. The new rainbow is just playing this thing. He has the most recent work. Him riding. Joey Diaz said that this is Roadhouse on steroids. He goes, Joe Rogan, listen to me. This fucking movie's amazing. I want to see it. It's, it's Roadhouse on steroids. It's fucking incredible. You love it. He goes, get high to the fucking gills. Look at this. Oh, what the fuck? He's got that dick ass. He beats all those guys? Of course he does. Dude, that's a lot of guns to have to dodge. You're fucking, I don't know, bro. Shut your mouth. I'm a fan, but still. Look, he's, he's drawn a rollback. How realistic is this? Oh, it's a hundred percent realistic. Fuck you, man. All I want to do. I can't even ask. Would you hate America? All I want to do is shoot an explosive arrow. Since you love those communists that you were talking about. No, dude, I swear I don't, man. He booby traps his house and fucks everybody up. Chopping him up. Ah. Dude, you draw first blood in that fucking dude and he'll draw last blood. He got real lean a few years back. Like crazy lean. He was playing this, I think he was playing a hitman and it was actually a pretty fucking good movie, an interesting movie. Like, uh, like it didn't get enough credit. Like, what was the, that's it. Bullet to the head was a pretty fucking good action movie, but like, but look how lean he got. Oh, he got like, like triathlete lean. Yeah. Not well, no, I asked him if he had any injuries from all the things he goes to his phone and showed me, showed me his spine and all the operations. I mean, he's been through. I got fucking bolts on my neck. Like Frankenstein. Is that Jason Momoa? I think it is. I hope it is! Hey, I'm watching this fucking movie as soon as I get home. Of course. Who else is allowed to be that big and handsome? Dude. Only Jason Momoa. Jason Momoa was the best looking man on the planet. I think, yeah, I think he is in this movie. I want to look like that. But yeah, this was not that long ago, but it was a good movie, like a good solid, you know, action movie. Really? Yeah, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. Like I'm a Stallone fan. I've been watching that guy's movies forever, but what I liked about this, it's a Walter Hill film too. What I liked about this movie was, I mean, not just liked about it, but that Stallone got like super crazy lean. Like he was, he looked like he was only like 170 pounds. Oh, Christian Schlatter! Schlatter! There you go, buddy. Full star cast. Dilbert walks up to me right behind me as I'm listening to these guys trying to get into the conversation. There's a little dose! And he goes like this, he goes, hey, you've been here for an hour already. Get over it. He just keeps walking.
