Audio: Adam Carolla's Anti Occupy Wall Street Rant – Pride Before The Fall?

Radio host Adam Carolla’s seems to be getting his first experience with the effects of pride, vanity, jealousy, envy, shame, revenge, wealth, and fame.

It’s all so Hollywood.

Last week he took to his radio show to rant about this whole occupy Wall Street movement, and it seems he deserves everything he has and all the problems we are having are OUR fault for not working hard enough and having low paying jobs.

Our troubles seem to have nothing to do with the greed, corruption, power and influence the uber wealthy have unleashed on an unsuspecting working class.

Carolla seems to take the typical Hollywood line when he tries to explain his frustration - taking the approach that “I earned it now leave me alone and go back to your bad day job, little house, fat wife and ugly kids.”

He seems to blame our woes on a culture where every kid on the soccer team gets a trophy – just for participating, and the real star of the game doesn’t get any special attention.

No Adam, you are not King and we will not bow down to worship you for your hard work and big bank account.

He views the current problem as a bunch of “self-entitled people” who are envious of others with wealth and all they want to do is throw rocks at our nice expensive toys.”

Now, this is pig man Adam Carolla talking here – the guy who bashed women and made rude and crude jokes on the “Man Show” to earn part of his fortune.

Adam’s Occupy Wall Street movement rant on his radio program showed us what we suspected all along – Carolla doesn’t seem to get why 99% of the public are frustrated these days.

It’s not ALL about you and your influence and money Adam. Here is the uncensored interview:



Yes Adam, it is as old as the Bible - especially the part where it says “Pride comes before the fall and a haughty spirit before the destruction.”

Maybe you just haven’t got to that part yet.

You are in a privileged class but seem unable to identify with those who have lost their job, home, retirement savings, etc., due to the greed and corruption by the banks, Wall Street, Federal Reserve, and our own Government.

You have your money so to hell with everybody else.

Your pride has become a little puffed up and even YOU flaunt your fame, money, and toys in an effort to impress.

Shame shame shame.

I’m surprised you didn’t take the line from Marie Antoinette where she said “Let them eat cake”.

Adam, the rich and powerful never understand why the poor hard working salt of the earth doth protest too much.

And yes, it is as old as the Bible.

Now you should read the rest of the good book where it talks about men and their money, power, and influence – pay close attention to the part where it cautions men about wallowing in their own gains while forgetting about the rest of the world’s problems.

Good riddance Adam Carolla. You and Howard Stern are like two peas in a pod, and we’re sorry that our countries problems have interfered with your fun.

And we’re not envious – we’re frustrated. Frustrated that people like you can earn what you do for being such a jackass.

Don’t let the size of your paycheck cloud your compassion, wisdom, empathy, and perceived talent.

Shia LaBeouf – Stop Talking Before You Get Into Trouble – Too Late

Poor Shia LaBeouf.

Sometimes he just doesn’t know when to stop talking.

For years, Hollywood bad boy Shia has had a problem with cops, booze, women, co-stars, gay slurs, moonshine, and directors – and now he has opened up to Details Magazine, and somebody should have stopped him.

His latest flick, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is out and the initial response is positive – even as others feel the franchise has become a bit stale and unbelievable.

And once again the young action hero finds himself in hot water after running his mouth.



But let’s start at the beginning.

A few years ago, Shia made news for entering a Walgreens drugstore sloppy drunk at 3:00 in the morning and trying to buy cigarettes. He was arrested.

Next was a car accident that badly mangled his hand and fingers that caused a delay in the filming schedule. The injury was ultimately written into the script so filming could continue.

Then it was a well-publicized incident at a Brite Spot Family Restaurant after a fan wanted to take his picture and he said “no”. It ended with Shia on the sidewalk in handcuffs.

A few weeks ago he told MTV,

"I'm not coming back to do another one. I don't think director Michael Bay will either. It's still a hot property, I think, especially coming out of the third one. So I imagine they'll reboot it at some point with someone else."

After completing the third sequel, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”, LaBeouf is distancing himself from the popular series.

Next were his comments about his co-star Megan Fox.

LaBeouf dumped on her acting abilities and staying power in a male dominated Hollywood and ruffling a few feathers by saying,

"Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment stuff that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael. He films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It’s summer. It’s Michael’s style. And I think Megan Fox never got comfortable with it. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it.”

Ouch. You would think by these statements the two most definitely DO NOT get along.

But you would be wrong.

When asked by a Details editor about the possibility of him hooking up with Fox he said,

“Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them. I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen.”

The problem?

At the time Shia was on set filming “Transformers”, Fox was dating Brian Austin Green.

Awkward? You bet.

When asked about the possible conflict of interest Shia responded,

“I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I Don’t know…. It was what it was.”

Running into rough patches with co-starts is not new for the actor.

After a lukewarm reception for his performance in “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull” with superstar Harrison Ford, Shia admits he was not up to par during filming and also criticized the film in the press.

Harrison Ford remembers it a bit differently saying,

"I think I told him he was a f##king idiot. As an actor, I think it's my obligation to support the film without making a complete ass of myself. Shia is ambitious, attentive, and talented—and he's learning how to deal with a situation which is very unique and difficult."

And he seems to be learning well.

In fact, he has just completed filming his latest movie “The Wettest Country in the World” a crime-drama centered on a family of Depression-era bootleggers in the American South and due in theaters next year.

We also hear there may be another chance for LaBeouf to get it right in a new “Indiana Jones”, and we’re sure there will be a “Wall Street” sequel in a year or two.

This is what we like to see – a Hollywood action hero who acts like one in real life and doesn’t take nothing from nobody.

Go Shia!
