You guys saw we saw Shia LaBeouf, and I know this is a little culture, but I want to go to it.
00:00:19.120
One of my favorite actors of all time is Shia LaBeouf.
00:00:21.340
I stopped watching Transformers once he was no longer in it.
00:00:24.420
He does a great job, but he was interviewed by the Channel 5 guy.
00:00:29.180
Andrew Callahan, who does a very good job getting reports and interviews.
00:00:34.940
Is this the one where he's talking about he's afraid of people?
00:00:40.580
Just brace for impact, because he's very raw here.
00:00:50.500
When I'm standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me, touching my leg, I get scared.
00:01:11.560
So you were sort of being groped and surrounded.
00:01:13.880
I'm not going to say that, because my lawyer said, oh, dude.
00:01:25.960
And that's the end of my statement on this whole shit.
00:01:47.320
But he also opened up about a very dark period about his life.
00:01:50.420
He admitted that he struggled with suicidal thoughts.
00:01:52.820
He said he had a gun in his mouth at one point.
00:01:55.160
And that the reason he didn't pull the trigger, according to him, was the love for his mother.
00:02:21.880
He goes, what would you do if you stood in front of Jesus?
00:02:28.000
And this is what he would say about if he saw Jesus Christ, what he would do.
00:02:33.540
What would you say to Jesus if you could meet him?
00:03:10.180
You got to hit your head into the wall hard enough where you just go, fuck it.
00:03:22.020
What do you think was the real-life equivalent of you smashing your head on the wall?
00:03:26.020
I was ready to kill myself and blow my brains out.
00:03:31.020
If you see the whole interview, it's clear he's going through something heavy.
00:03:34.600
I've heard a lot of stuff from his mouth that what he's gone through, his family and everything like that.
00:03:40.320
It's like he's struggling, and I just hope he finds peace, Pat, and healing because I thought when I saw him on Jon Bernthal's podcast, I was like, oh, okay.
00:03:51.680
And the girl left him, and somebody's suing him and all that stuff.
00:03:55.460
I feel, as a Christian, I feel what he is going through.
00:04:03.060
And, I mean, I don't think drinking by yourself in the streets of Mardi Gras at that level of celebrity is something.
00:04:08.880
He did say something also, Pat, that he hates somebody, Rob.
00:04:21.680
Type in Shia LaBeouf and type in Shia LaBeouf and Mike Piazza.
00:04:27.660
Your picture's like a fucking, like I'm a golden retriever or a governor or something like that because I like what it does for people's lives.
00:04:34.460
I remember trying to get Mike Piazza's autograph, motherfucker.
00:04:45.580
Big Brothers program used to get these tickets out.
00:04:49.000
Me and all of them dudes would be sitting in the parking lot.
00:05:09.500
He goes, you're going to give me one autograph.
00:05:12.060
Can you imagine Mike Piazza sends him right now, I think, and he returns it?
00:05:15.920
When's the last time you even heard Mike Piazza's name?
00:05:17.840
Well, no, we talk because we debate catchers of all, great hitting catchers of all time,
00:05:22.600
But how do you process it, Adam, for yourself with Shia LaBeouf?
00:05:29.960
And, you know, the first time we learned about Shia for me, I think it was during Transformers.
00:05:35.400
This guy, I think, has been famous since he's 14, 15 years old.
00:05:38.720
Be careful when you want fame too soon because how many people in Hollywood have we seen get fame before they were mature?
00:05:47.380
Justin Bieber, we see what's going on with that guy these days.
00:05:49.700
You know, the song that you play where he's sitting in front of the mirror.
00:06:01.700
Lindsay Lohan, the Corey Hames of the world, the Drew Barrymars of the world.
00:06:06.420
You know, they all deal with trauma, drugs, alcohol, depression, all these things because why?
00:06:13.380
One thing I've learned is I don't want to be famous.
00:06:24.120
A lot of these young people, especially people on the Internet these days, you know, streaming every single day, doing things for clicks and attention.
00:06:35.200
And I just respect Shia LaBeouf for keeping it real.
00:06:37.940
You know, they say we're keeping it real goes wrong.
00:06:40.460
He's had some major issues in his life, in and out of jail, I think, in and out of rehab.
00:06:46.740
It looks like he's a father now, and I respect that.
00:06:50.220
But there's probably not a realer guy who wears his heart on his sleeve more than Shia LaBeouf.
00:06:59.340
He talked about his father as well, Vinny, in the interview.
00:07:02.440
I don't know if you caught that part about his father.
00:07:08.360
And like you said, talent, artistic, you know, and fury in all the movies.
00:07:13.000
But there's something clearly going off, and I just pray that he gets, you know, he needs help.
00:07:19.080
He said all these people's phone numbers in his phone.
00:07:27.380
This is the unthemed time you mentioned Shia LaBeouf.
00:07:30.660
You don't have a lot of love for Hollywood or Hollywood actors.
00:07:47.620
He had issues with a lot of things that he was going through as a kid.
00:07:50.580
And probably one of my favorite guys to hang out with.
00:08:01.800
And they had a lot of similar mannerisms that he would go through.
00:08:04.540
He had a hard time giving up a few things that he was on.
00:08:08.380
And, you know, alcohol and a few other things that he was dealing with.
00:08:17.080
It was just a very famous person in my life because I loved him.
00:08:19.740
But you see the pain young men, young boys go through.
00:08:27.700
And part of it is somebody could have gotten a hold of him to give him better direction.
00:08:31.440
But, honestly, 80% of it when you become an adult is on you.
00:08:35.800
You got to make the decision to make better choices.
00:08:44.380
You know what I love about the way he's speaking?
00:08:45.960
He's speaking in a way that you can't give him advice.
00:08:53.800
You know what I mean when I'm saying you can't give him advice?
00:08:56.200
Like, he's speaking like, no, but, man, like, he's conflicted because he knows what he needs to do.
00:09:05.800
He's heard the best advice from the most celebrated doctors, famous.
00:09:10.780
Anybody that's known for being the right person to give him advice.
00:09:16.000
Hollywood actors, celebrities, directors, business people.
00:09:21.740
And he knows at the end of the day, nobody can save you except his faith and you.
00:09:32.480
There's a part of it that you got to make the choices.
00:09:36.400
You know, a man named Greg back in the days would always say, pray like it's up to God, but, you know, work like it's up to you.
00:09:43.880
You know, you can say, change like it's up to you.
00:09:49.500
Some people pray too much and rely just on a miracle to happen, but a part of it is you.
00:09:53.740
Rob, are you able to find that clip or is it still streaming and it's not going to show it up?
00:09:57.160
I found the part where he talks about his father going to AA.
00:09:59.380
I don't know if that's the part you're looking for.
00:10:02.580
I just think it was a very good, is this the one where he and his dad are going to AA together?
00:10:07.200
He talks about his, yeah, growing up in AA with his dad.
00:10:14.860
My dad was in AA when I was, before I ever got on.
00:10:17.820
My dad was a junkie my whole life, so then, and God bless him, the fool ain't no more.
00:10:26.820
What do you think has been like behind your decision to get sober every now and again?
00:10:31.120
Usually, I've been forced to get sober by the court system usually, and then women get scared,
00:10:36.440
you know, so then you got to stay sober for the girl.
00:10:38.400
So, you feel like most of your decision to, like, lay off the drinks was external factors?
00:10:43.900
The business, the job, holding on to the career, holding on to the girl, holding on to the thing.
00:10:48.840
But, again, to me, I know I grew up with guys like him, you know, but he wasn't, you know,
00:10:58.620
The movie with his dad, Honey Boy, we've talked about this many times.
00:11:04.460
If you subscribe to Amazon, it kind of tells you the upbringing of how we grew up.
00:11:11.440
I've heard so many things about the different stories.
00:11:17.220
You know, I've never seen a Shia LaBeouf movie.
00:11:23.700
And all, but I've watched hours of him doing podcasts.
00:11:28.600
The thing with Callahan now, what's the one with Jon Bernthal?
00:11:36.340
You can't help but realize that Hollywood has chewed him up and spit him out.
00:11:44.500
He's probably dealt with all the advisors, all the people.
00:11:56.960
But then at the end of the day, when you're by yourself.
00:11:59.680
I was interviewing Terrence Howard the other day.
00:12:01.960
And let me tell you, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
00:12:04.880
This was a very different kind of an interview.
00:12:06.440
We didn't talk anything about math and stuff like that.
00:12:08.940
But he said, you know, funny, I don't even know how to say this.
00:12:20.140
He talked about how he struggles with porn until today.
00:12:25.000
And the things we were talking about, we talked.
00:12:27.380
So even today, he is, he said he's 56, 57 years old.
00:12:35.180
And it's like, listen, he was in Czechoslovakia 25 years old.
00:12:42.500
He said, if you keep this TV here, I'm going to have to watch all the porn he got.
00:12:45.500
But by the way, when you watch, you're going to laugh so hard of the stuff he talked about.
00:12:52.960
So you have to know these, these are, everybody knows who these guys are.
00:12:56.640
And when they give you that kind of fame at a young age, you know, try managing that at a young age.
00:13:01.060
But anyways, listen, as we're going through this, the one thing that we can't recognize enough for what they do is the armed forces.
00:13:10.100
The folks in the Army, Navy, Marines, you know, Air Force, every one of these guys on what they're doing.
00:13:17.380
Without them, you and I wouldn't have the freedom that we have to be safe, to go out there and do what we're doing.
00:13:24.080
But if you're somebody that served in the military and you believe the future looks bright or you have a friend or family that does and you want to recognize them, Rob, if you can go up.
00:13:36.000
If you can go down a little bit, there's two hats that every time we get them, we can't keep them on.
00:13:40.880
But keep going down, keep going down, keep going down, keep going down.
00:13:46.240
This one, whenever it comes in, it goes just as quickly.
00:13:50.540
It's an incredible, by the way, if you want to get, yeah, the future looks bright, green camo.
00:13:57.580
There's another one as well on the bottom left.
00:13:59.280
Keep going, keep going, keep going right there.
00:14:00.980
Those two, those two are two of the most popular hats that we have for folks in the military that word with future looks bright on the right side.
00:14:10.800
Place an order, especially at a time like this.
00:14:13.040
Represent our military for the patriotic job that they're doing out there.
