  Speaker 1: You win an oscar and it's all downhill from there.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's one more thing.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty, one more thing.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen won an oscar when he was like twenty
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And which movie was at full middle jacket? Is that
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the one he was in one of those war news
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: platoon that's it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: I can't swear that's right, for the sounds right.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And then he was, at the time of his crack up,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: or right before it, the highest paid actor in all
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of television, back when people still watched television, as the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: start two and a half Men, which was a hilarious show.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Then he went off the rails with the drug addiction
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and all kinds of different stuff and waring, hooring and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: being crazy online. He's got a memoir out and he
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: is he's our age sixty and he did a big
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: documentary for Netflix, and he sat down with Good Morning
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: America and didn't interview with Michael Strahan And here's a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: little bit of that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: What do you think when you look back there, do
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you recognize yourself?
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Don't know who that is? And that's not a cop
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: out or I don't know what part of me that
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: came from.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: It's weird.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: It's like there's a possession going on. I'm like, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: compleading with that version of me to just dude cat stuff.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's interesting.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was funny because so many voices were telling
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: him that at the time. But that's the nature of addiction.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I guess, roll on, do you have any regret?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I do, but I can't.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: There's no value in them, you know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: I guess the only way to deal with it is
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: just to not ever do anything or allow myself to
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: wind up in a situation where that's a message I
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: want to send to the world in that capacity, because
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: there's probably a lot of people out there that's don't
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: only know me from those viral clips a guy screening
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Tiger Blood and winning and all this other nonsense, right,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: and not set the record straight, but say no, no, no,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: that was a moment in a really long career where
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: things just went off the freaking rails.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I would imagine in the Netflix special they play a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: lot of those viral clips that we played the heck
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: out of back in the day, when every day he
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: would release like a video that would be on YouTube
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of him just completely out of his mind.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, obviously he was complicit in it and enthusiastically
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: participating in it. But can you imagine your most out
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of control moments and days being broadcast to the world.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I can see why he looks and wants people to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: know I'm not that guy.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He talks about the section the drugs.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And you say sex went hand in hand with your
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: drug use. It did, yeah, and and wanting to try
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: as you you framed it quote other side of the menu,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: which for some people out there and mean, what's the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: other side of the menu that's sleeping with men and you?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But you said you've been honest about it now, But
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: why did you keep a sequence for so long? Sure?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because there there was another element to it that
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: it did come with with it with a tremendous amount
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: of extortion. And so at the time I was just like,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: all right, let's just just just pay to keep it
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: quiet and then just hope it just stays over there
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: and make it go away, you know, just make it
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: go away.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And then you were just paying people not to yeah.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Because they they would have they had video things or
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: whatever and had stuff over me. So that was kind
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: of held hostage, you know, And it's just the that's
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: a bad feeling.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. I don't remember. Did he get himself into
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: financial trouble because he was making insane money obviously as
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the highest paid actor in off television. Did he like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: even remember? I don't remember either, because my question anytime
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: celebrities do these sorts of things where they reveal all
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: these past this and that, you know, why are you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Why did you keep it a secret for so so long?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: The better question is why are you telling anybody now
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: other than maybe a therapist. I mean, you don't need
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to tell me that you were sleeping with dudes for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a while when you were.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Out of your mind on drugs.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I don't need to know that. So are you telling
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this just to make money off of a Netflix special?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Did Netflix give you fifteen million dollars to tell this story?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Is that why you're doing it?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: You could make the argument that, I mean, if you're
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a straight guy and you're so effed up on crack
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and meth, which in particular make you want to horn
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: out with whatever person or object or beast happens to
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: be handy, it's worth telling this story. I think. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: don't think that's out of line. I see your point,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: and generally I agree with you on that stuff, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: he's just talking about how he was out of control.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And also, I think you know, now, I'm sure I'm
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I agree with myself because there's a real element of
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: laying down with dogs and waking up with fleas because
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: he was with the hardcore druggy party sex crowd and
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: they all tried to extort him.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I suppose if he didn't mention that part in
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the documentary, one of these probably scumbag He's probably hanging
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: around with some really low life people. Oh yeah, one
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of them would have come forward and said it, so
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: they need to had to answer to it, So why
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: not just get it out?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and I just like him saying, hey, this
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: is part of it. By the way, all of your
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: friends who are just fellow druggies, we're gonna screw you
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and steal from you every way they can think of.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I do have one semi important thing to say this,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I think, but one more clip.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen, she publicly revealed that he was HIV positive.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: That that was a tremendous relief.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: That felt like, okay, all right, there's that not now
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I can focus on some other things.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: That was ten years ago. That was twenty fifteen. You're right,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: how you feeling now? I felt pretty good. She says
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he stopped using drugs in twenty fifteen, and that he
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: has now been completely sober for nearly eight years. What
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: was the final straw? It was, well, my body was
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: starting to reject it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I talk about that in the book, you know, literal
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: really like turning inside out.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: That was a mess.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Oh. I remember what his teeth looked like when you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: got some of those close picture his teeth.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: That's bad.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, that was horrible. There's a clip, oh, we don't have,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but I read it yesterday where he talked about how
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: he'd really felt like his dad had betrayed him because
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: his dad actually signed off on some legal something that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: allowed the police to go into Charlie house, which ended
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: up in his arrest, and which led to him getting
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: off drugs, which led to him being able to get
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: sober and stay sober. And he really really thought his
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: dad had betrayed him, and he now knows that it
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: was the dad doing what he should do for his
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: son and.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Thanks him and all that sort of stuff.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And the thing I was going to point out
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: is Charlie Sheen sounds to me like a guy who's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: legitimately sober and can stay sober, as there was no
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: blaming anybody but himself any of those clips, as opposed
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to Hunter Biden, who every time gets asked a question anything,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it's a yeah, but what would you do if the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: if people had done this to you? I mean, it's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: always that sort of angle, which I'm I'd be shocked
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: if Hunter's actually sober, and I don't see how he's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: going to stay sober with that attitude. He's still blaming
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: people for his behavior.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely true. Wow, that is a contrast.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Because Charlie is saying, yeah, lots of regrets. I don't see,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be do me
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: any good to dwell on them. But whereas Hunter never
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: has that sort of tude.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: No, No, he has people who drove him to it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll watch. I will actually watch this documentary.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Probably I will too, just because of the beloved catchphrases.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: It came from his off the rails, almost dying, getting aids,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: et cetera period.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: It's amazing HIV anyway, it's amazing that he lived through that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, winning.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Living.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Most people who do that do not live. I wonder
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: how much of that was just maybe he had enough
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: money that he could get the right medical help at
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the right time. Of course, so did Matthew Perry. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Matthew Perry's dead as I am or well, and fentanyl
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: didn't exist at the right He missed the fentanyl thing,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: or he would be dead. That is exactly right. Because
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: he was doing so much drugs with so many different people,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he would have come across ventanyl just by uh, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: sure randomness.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I got poetry at my fingertips. That's you
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: got that going for you. Well, I'm not Thomas Jefferson.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: He was a pussy.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: There you go. Those are the days.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Man's opinion.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: We had good times back then. Every day the Charlie
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Sheen update, it was fun times. Well, I guess that's it. Well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: we all have to sit in here and touch ourselves
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and frown.
