In short
Charlie Sheen’s career and public persona, including the origin of his “winning” slogans, his comedic approach to interviews, and behind-the-scenes stories from his film/TV work and early fame.
Guests
Charlie Sheen (actor/comedian; known for Two and a Half Men, plus films like Platoon, Wall Street, and others). Also present are the hosts/interviewers (Dana, David, and producer references), but the only named guest is Charlie Sheen.
Key claims
- “Winning” slogans were prompted by baseball player Brian Wilson (“the Beard”) and then adapted into Charlie’s own delivery; Charlie says he couldn’t initially disclose it was borrowed.
- Charlie describes interview “fake concern” and argues many questions are designed for clips rather than help.
- He discusses “1090” TV deal mechanics (10-episode gamble, then potential back-end for 90 episodes) and says he negotiated out of Two and a Half Men after losing passion.
Notable examples
- Mentions his and Emilio Estevez’s child-star film breadth (Platoon, Ferris Bueller, Wall Street, Major League, The Outsiders, Repo Man, Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire, Young Guns).
- Talks about turning down White Men Can’t Jump and Indecent Proposal (finding it depressing).
- Shares collectibles stories (Elvis Amex rumor; Ted Williams jersey; baseball-card collecting and auctioning).

Jelly Bean. Charlie Sheen is shining. Yeah. Charlie, we had one of our biggest clips off of this show.
2:12It's when Emilio comes in at the beginning.
2:14Dana Carvey:two brothers together gave it a lot of pop and it was spontaneous that was really fun that that millions of millions of views on that one and uh it's fun to have the clips out for for things like that yeah i think that was up there with our fight club ed norton clip which is hanging in there around 15 million you never know it's fantastic it's unreal they just keep they just keep chugging out there a lot of tentacles but yeah charlie has done so much in this town and uh so much everyone knows him obviously two and a half men but he goes back to platoon and wall street yeah the way we really go over his career a lot yeah with any fine tooth comb and how he and his brother emilio just came out like like hot as a pistol in the 80s with their movies and stuff.
3:08Dana Carvey:Then he shows up. It was great. So very interesting, very thoughtful and interesting interview with Chuck Sheen, Charlie Sheen. Here he is. Here it comes. Hey, what song is this, Charlie? What song? Here it comes again, looking bad. Or what is that? Dolly Parton? Nobody has a right to. I don't recognize it. Dolly Parton. Here he comes again. All right. So our producer said, here he comes. So I just. I think we're good. Awesome. Thank you, bro. Thank you, Charlie. This is a great place. If you're a termite, it's Emilio Estevez right there. Can he hang out for a second? Cause that was my first thing.
3:49I wanted to ask him for you, dude. Emilio. You mind?
3:55Dana Carvey:This was one of my things. Cause I wanted to not bore the shit.
4:01Dana Carvey:You're in my research. I'm not making this up. I was like, because I was like, holy shit. I saw the doc. I saw you guys doing all the little super eights and all that. And then you're fucking, you do, you got, there's red dawn, but you do platoon Ferris Bueller, wall street, major league. You're in it. Another does the outsiders repo man, which is a personal favorite breakfast club. St. Elmo's fire. And then you can connect with young guns. So what the fuck that has never happened in history. you both were like children little tiny kids becoming movie stars like that anyway i that's why i wanted to when i always want to tell you you're a fucking stud yeah i mean you guys are like he he can't hear you because i'm on the i'm on the boat we can't hear him we gave him 100 compliments and now we gave you 100 compliments and it was all love and it was about the breadth the breadth of our of our combined films in that in that time frame and he said then we did all that we're giant movie stars as children yeah so yeah but we were all we were all the same
5:10Dana Carvey:we were all the same i was a waiter till i was 24 would he tell him that he said he was a waiter till he was 24 yeah it wasn't in that boat wasn't in that boat um anyway all right amelio sorry we can't hear you but nice to see you buddy thank you bro thank you i appreciate it it's great to see him that's cool that's that's cool that's a treat but seriously that was most of your time charlie that was most of our time we look better in person don't think of this what you're seeing now we are we're pretty good looking david and i you know i just saw charlie at the fight yeah that was pretty that was pretty cool wasn't it you know what let me tell you i'll tell dana the funniest thing you said is right when i said michael ervin had his legs wrapped around your chair talking to someone behind him and you go i don't think michael erwin knows spatial awareness i mean it was it was an astute observation wasn't it it was perfect because the chairs were this wide right they were little plastic chairs i go uh ted serrano's in front of you i was like ted i want to talk to you about the shitty chairs when you get one second it's too late now but maybe for the next one and uh they were all tied together with zip lines they were zip tied together yeah Yeah.
6:25Dana Carvey:Well, spatial awareness is a funny word, but it's a funny you're doing, Charlie, when it comes to comedy. That was funny. You could have said in a lot of different ways, but facial awareness is we're standups. You know, that's all we do. So, well, he's a film star. But yeah, you're a comedian. You know, just I was looking at some of your rants. We can go wherever you want, but they're all really fucking funny. That's what really struck me about that era of Tiger Blood and everything. I mean they're comedically It's actually funny on top of everything else It's not the rantings of a madman It's a comedian unleashed Wow okay I've never heard it described as such Are you on drugs?
7:09Dana Carvey:Yes I'm on a drug It's called Charlie Sheen That's like rhythmic And how are you doing? Winning Not just I'm winning By the way these jokes are to like Katie Kirk or this is the most flat audience, Savannah Guthrie going, uh-huh. You have a bit, a lot of problems in your life. You're like, or do I? I'm on Coke. And they're like, well, you're laying down magic. You didn't even know at the time. Cause the whole idea, which I think in therapy, they should use these quotes cause they're funny and they're self-affirming. They're kind of saying, fuck you, get out of my way. We all want to have that feeling sometimes, but I looked at them as the work of a comedian.
7:47Dana Carvey:I mean, they're just really, are you bipolar? I'm bi-winning. I win here. I win there. Now what? This is funny. They picked a fight with a warlock. I mean, it's just funny. I don't know if anyone is, we're trying to think of stuff that you haven't been asked because I know this is our second interview around the book of Sheen. You've done one interview and then this. And then this. Yeah. So we wanted to surprise you, but there are things I wanted to talk about. That's one of them. But David, can I have any questions? Go ahead. Charlie has a quick question. I just want to point something out. If I say you've picked a fight with a warlock, right?
8:28That's like that, that, that implies that I would have experience with that. Or I'd, I'd have some kind of perspective or context with that. Right. I'd never picked the fight with a warlock. No. I think that's kind of just a life rule that you don't, you see a warlock, you don't pick a fight, you know?
8:46Dana Carvey:No, and we all know, I don't even know specifically what my image is, but warlock kind of means like some sort of weird mythological creature you don't want to go near. Exactly. Exactly. Did you have any alt? Did you have an alternative to warlock? It was just boom. It just comes out. It was warlock or bust. Yeah. he's got the phrases that are very catchy, but no one has ever heard. Do you own these? No, they're all online. They're so funny. Charlie, part of it is when you're in these interviews and I watch these people with a lot of it, unfortunately is fake concern for you. You know what I mean?
9:23They're like, Hey, are you okay? And you're like, what do you give a shit? Do you really care? They're like, are you calling the kids every night? You're like, do you want to babysit my kid? At a certain point you start to go, So are you really, really, if you really care, I'll tell you these answers, but you're kind of trying to get a pickup piece for your clip for the news or for your show. And so you're using me to go, oh, I'm going to be the concerned person, condescendingly asking Charlie. You're like, I have a hundred million dollars. Is it horrible right now? And that's kind of a weird place to be in where they're like, do we envy you or do we feel sorry?
10:02You know, because you had a lot going. Yeah, no, but when somebody poses those questions, what do you think would have happened if I had said, I'm not, and how do you plan on helping me? Yeah, what are you doing? Like, do you have a guest room? Do you have a stocked fridge?
10:22Dana Carvey:Is there a crudité anywhere that I could have access to? Yeah, any, right? Yeah. It's like Facebook moms putting on Facebook. I don't like when you showed a picture of your kid in the front seat. you should never like what do you care are you really you really that worried anyway we got so much to talk to charlie i also want to just insert one thing on winning and also the way you said winning winning you know did that influence trump kind of because he really works a word and he really you're gonna be winning so much you're gonna win you win i don't know there is something about that word there did you win yeah i went i'm winning i'm winning more you know i don't know it's just uh interesting interaction historically but who knows right but the but the book gets into the genesis of of that material oh that's what i'm i'm so happy to hear the book of sheen yeah thank you um and it's um you know i i i kind of kept it uh kept it a secret for years that it wasn't my original material that it was it was inserted into my brain sort of as a pep talk like a couple of days earlier by a baseball player from the Giants named Brian Wilson, a guy nicknamed the beard.
11:34Remember the beard? Oh yeah. So yeah, I was watching a highlight package of his and I told my pal, Tony Todd, I said, Hey, I'm going to, I'm going to talk to that dude. And the next day I was on the phone and he just rolled out all, all that stuff, the stuff that the material that turned into slogans and t-shirts and folk songs and everything else. Right. And so, yeah, but then I couldn't really say in the middle of that, that, that, that, that whole, you know, tsunami that I was cresting on a nuclear surfboard. Right. I couldn't, I couldn't say, by the way, all that shit was borrowed. That t-shirt you're wearing, not my stuff.
12:10I just had to roll with it. And then about midway through the, all the chaos, I spoke to him and I said, Hey man, I'm sorry. I feel like I stole your stuff. And maybe you had plans to use it elsewhere. And he said, no, no, no, it's fine. It's, um, I said, and you're probably thinking that, that, that, that you got it into the wrong brain and hence the wrong mouth. And he was like, well, you know, it's, I never quite saw it going this far, but if, if someone's going to borrow your material, then, then spread the love. Why not? Well, yeah.
12:40Dana Carvey:Cause it was the timing and the way you delivered it. I mean, we all, and it's you saying it on all over. It's because that was your rhythm right of the way you know the winning thing was originally delivered with that inflection with the high pitch to winning winning yeah yeah i know and that's why it it got it got you know logged in there like that um so um his material but then i think through my filters and you know through whatever else was going on uh it it it became what it what it did you know right because he was being interviewed sometimes by contrarians or whatever trying to talk to you and you were just coming back with something so extremely different than anyone would expect that that was part of the comedy of it i don't know if he had people interviewing him you know in that way but uh it's interesting also losing isn't quite as catchy it doesn't it doesn't Losing.
13:41It really isn't. It really isn't.

15:55Charlie, here's a dumb question. Oh, go ahead. You got one question? Go ahead.
15:59Dana Carvey:He can talk too, though. You can talk whenever you want. Thank you. Have you and I ever met, Dana? I don't think we've ever met. I don't think so either. No, I don't think so either. We almost, Fred Wolfe was doing some kind of movie and you were in it. Oh, Mad Families. Yeah, Mad Families. Yes. And I was, for a while I was going to do that, but I just was doing stand-up or whatever I was doing. But we would have met then. Yes. Yeah, and David and I had a scene together. Do you remember this? Oh, that's right, Mad Families. Do you remember I rewrote it and I turned it into three pages? and I came to you like five minutes before we were going to shoot it.
16:37I'm like, let's do it this way, man. I was fucking hammered, dude. I was hammered that day. And apologies. No. But we did have a nice vibe and a nice rhythm and a nice thing in that scene, didn't we? Yes. I remember that was Naya Rivera was in that movie. Little, was Lil Rel in it? Lil Rel, yeah. Lil Rel. And yeah, I, I do remember coming to do one scene and I had to speak with everybody. I don't remember enough about it, but if you, if we, if we did a collab, uh, that, uh, I hope it came out. All right. Mad family sort of was, we call it under the radar because it was on crackle. It was on crackle.
17:20Yes. Crackle, um, turned into an app. It was supposed to be like Netflix and then it kind of wasn't. It sounded like Lauren. Very much. And it kind of wasn't. Wasn't. Yeah, they kind of bailed on it. You know, Charlie, do you remember the story of Tom Hertz trying to put a show together with us? And it was after you left Two and a Half Men. Tom Hertz, in all his wisdom, was working on Two and a Half Men for years, I guess. Then he came to do Rules of Engagement, another show that I did. No, Tom was on Spin City. I think also Spin City. Oh, Spin City. And then he came to us. Because he had worked with you and he knew you.
18:00Sure. And then he came to me and said, what about you and Charlie doing a show? And I said, isn't Charlie a little bit in the doghouse with CBS? Because it was literally in the middle of all that. Oh, wow. And he says, well, Les Moonves likes this idea. I was like, he does. Even in the middle of Charlie, I think either you guys were suing each other. There's some pure chaos. Yeah. And I was like, well, and then it kind of fizzled out, but I thought it would have been fun back then. That was a, it would have been kind of a fun pairing. Yeah. So it, it, no, it would have been awesome. And so it would have been that instead of anger management, right?
18:43Oh yeah. Maybe. Yeah. That's right. I think that's what you went into next. Oh yeah. Was an anger management was a 90, 10 deal. It was in, it was 10, 90. Yeah. Yeah. Those are those deals, Dana, where you would shoot. It was sort of a new formula where you'd shoot 10 episodes. And if they liked it, they'd buy the back 90. So it's very interesting because you gamble and Charlie gambled and won again. And he got a hundred out of it, right? Yeah, we got to a hundred, but it didn't catch fire like we were kind of hoping. Sure. But it's interesting, Dana. It's literally like a 10 episode pilot. Yeah.
19:22And so then they take the average number from those episodes that air and it has to get above a certain threshold. And if that happens, then it activates the next 90. And you get a piece of 90.
19:36Dana Carvey:100 episodes. You get 100 episodes and you get back end on it or participation. Exactly. Yeah. You take a lot less upfront salary, but you have an ownership position that's pretty significant when they work. but this one because i wasn't um i wasn't ready to go back to work you know was it right after two and a half men so it's hard to like go right to a show it was about six months after yeah that's that's pretty fast yeah yeah which for me probably felt like a weekend you know at the time in the middle of all that yeah um and dana you wouldn't like it it's like two in a day don't you shoot like you shoot faster yeah and there's no audience and sometimes you're doing two shows a week or you didn't finish the second show from last week so you start the week with that so you're really trying to focus on three shows that week and it's just and it doesn't uh yeah i think a lot of the process um suffers you know not the thing to get you off drugs that's for sure definitely not No, no.
20:41Dana Carvey:Most of the casts end up on drugs when they do the 1090 thing. I'm sure. Because of the pressure. I heard of my friend, a friend of mine that we all know, just did a 1090 deal or 9010, whatever we call it. And I don't think it kicked in. So it's the gamble. You know, you're betting on yourself. And I think it's a pretty good gamble. I probably would have done one of those because it's something. You get some money, but there's a big high reward. Sure. Wait, your friend did one recently? Recently. That's what I had heard. Oh, it's still going on. Are they still kicking those around? Wow. Because I thought they kind of went away.
21:18Was it a multi? I'm pretty sure it would have been a multi. That's probably the fastest you can do it. Yeah. Okay. You know, I'll tell you after, because I don't want to say anything about his real name because maybe he would feel like, oh, it didn't get picked up. But I'll tell you after. And that's very interesting, though, that the 1090 could still be floating out there when syndication isn't quite as valuable, obviously. You were sort of one of the last, not the last, but your show, Two and a Half Men, which is still on, you know, honestly, too much. Thank you. And it's on probably 12 stations at any given time.
21:55When was the end?
21:56Dana Carvey:I mean, it was that when the syndication thing started. Big Bang was one of the biggest endings. Yeah, sure. Two and a Half Men. We had Modern Family. you know um when when when was it on as far as like when was it like actual broadcast yeah the block when syndication was a really big thing still you know because that was seinfeld the 90s and so forth but i guess it got that pop and you were making a really good a good salary yeah you know um i mean i i was i was trying to negotiate my way out of it i was i was waiting for them to say it's you know all right we're done seven is plenty this guy's asking for the moon we can only afford the only guy in america trying to get himself out of like a huge show so by asking for so much money to get out basically yeah i was calling they said yes okay they said yes i was like because i had a conversation with my manager when i was in rehab when they were trying to negotiate for uh eight and nine and i i felt like seven had just i'd kind of just reached my limit.
23:01I didn't see that we had a lot of stories left to tell, you know, and I just, I, I'd completely lost the passion. Um, tons of, tons of shit in the background and my personal life that wasn't, you know, I'm not, I'm not blaming anyone, but it was making the job just more complicated than it had to be, you know? And, and I told, I told my manager Mark at the time, I said, if I, if I go back, I have a hunch that something is going to go, it's going to go horrible. The dam's going to break. The dam's going to break. Yeah, man. It broke. Now, do you think that was a self-fulfilling prophecy? Or do you think I just knew that that's how the planets were going to be misaligned?

23:40Well, I think you know when you get overwhelmed. I think, you know, I mean, everyone says money is the key thing. But when you already have money, you've been rich probably since Apocalypse Now. You've had money. A couple beans in your jeans. Not Apocalypse Now, Platoon.
23:51Dana Carvey:Red Dawn, he got back in on Red Dawn. Yeah, that thing's still paying. Yeah. red dawn covers those honda accord payments just alone so you got that and then you go everyone's your life is great with money but it it sounds stupid but it does complicate a lot of things and you've got so many complications going on and i think you had a trailer on the set as opposed to a dressing room did you have a bus or something or am i had a rumor i had a tour bus that's what i had heard yeah i was jealous when i had a marathon coach um it was pretty cool right outside the stage door probably right like we walk out and then yeah so you shoot it was right there yeah you shoot you go in and wait and then you come back in and do your scenes so you can do whatever you want in there obviously and probably took advantage of that um two and a half not so much uh the stuff before it and the stuff after it very very much so much yeah so yeah when did you first feel like incredibly wealthy what was it after wall street or when or for you you know you're in your early 20s when did you kind of go holy shit i'm a millionaire or i'm close to a millionaire you know teddy stuff right it was probably like in like mid 90s okay yeah but there was about 30 yeah yeah but there was a moment early on when i got my first uh acting paycheck from grizzly from grizzly to the predator or the revenge as they retitled the movie grizzly they did a sequel yes yes yeah and so um i made two grand a week and i was there for three i made six grand i didn't care i didn't know about taxes or any of that shit and i went to the bank and just took it all in cash and i walked into a clothing store and there were these two kind of fancy uh vests not like a western vest but like a like a camping vest right and i couldn't decide on the color it was like a blue one or a freaking green one and i was like i'm gonna take them both whoa yeah and they were like you know 40 bucks each 60 bucks each whatever and just laid out the cash and literally in that moment i felt okay all right this is i'm feeling like a big shot sure and i think you all take both and then you go you like that shit and the lady goes oh there's more that came from bitch why are you being aggressive i don't know bitch maybe it's the money winning how old are you i'm 13 bitch i did a police academy movie and i was making not much money but it was no more than i ever had in my life and i saw some pants in the window in toronto and i went in and the lady goes those are 60 it was like pretty woman like those are for rich people and i go i'll take them and she's like whoa everyone's store was like whoa and i was like 60s nothing to me because i got a hundred dollars in per diem so i bought it i literally there's very few times i've felt richer we all have that story you know i was interesting and i'm sure this in the book that you'd think hey martin sheen's his dad he's growing up like a billionaire you know and obviously in the documentary it's it's it's it's pretty middle class you know it's not fancy pants you and because immediately you guys didn't have money go ahead you can see our house in the background of a lot of the super eight stuff yeah you know and it's not a mansion documentary it's not a not a manicured freaking no no it's very you know it's funky and cool great for a kid but i was wondering if anyone in that posse like i'm fascinated by Sean Penn and Sean, when did you meet Rob Lowe or are you, your friends?
27:38Dana Carvey:Uh, did anyone have a silver spoon or you're all kind of middle-class in a sense? We were, we were all middle-class. Um, uh, Rob's, uh, the, the, the lows came in a little later and the reason, you know, he wasn't excluded intentionally, but the footage that the director, Andrew Renzi chose to incorporate was from the younger, younger years. I think by the time I started making those films with Rob and his brother Chad, I think videotape came into play. It was actually, do you remember this thing called the, it was like a Polaroid brand, but it was a Polaroid video camera. Do you remember this?
28:22I never heard of it once. It developed in the player while you were waiting. Whoa. And then it played it. It was called polar vision, I think. So that's, you know, yeah. So we were sort of in the cutting edge of like, as the technology was improving. But no, his, his, the Lowe's dad was still in Ohio and their stepdad was a psychiatrist. They lived right down the street. Sean's parents, a director, actress. They married until the day they both died. And so, but nobody was rolling. Nobody was driving a fancy car or fancy duds or picking up a check. So yeah, it was really a cool time to just experience all of that and not have a ton of excess and special effects and bullshit sort of in the way of those memories, you know?
29:25Dana Carvey:And Super 8 or whatever that was, it's just emotional, you know? And I think it's funny, like every kid who ever got a hold of a camcorder or whatever, they always want to do war scenes or crime scenes and want to do a death scene. Like, ah! Sure. Did you have a good go-to move? Like, oh! Um, yeah. The platoon move is a big one. Willem Dafoe. Oh, yeah. The whole, yeah. The crucifixion. That's been reenacted all over. Yeah. I actually, I have that as a sticker in my phone that I send people. When I know how to respond, it's just Dafoe. It's like that. So if you get that, it just means I'm stumped, you know?
30:10Fucking send me that.
30:12Dana Carvey:It is interesting of like the trifecta. I think you for Vietnam war films, you know, you'd say deer Hunter, platoon and apocalypse now. And there was a sheen in two of them. And I think that that film really along with wall street and others really holds up, you know, platoon has, has some magic to it. And would you put, would you put full metal jacket in there anywhere? I put anything Kubrick does as a given. Yes. Yes, I would. That's a good call. Full metal jacket, anything Kubrick pretty much, you know sure that is just magic you know apocalypse now brilliant uh masterpiece master and deer hunter you know the mouth oh you know with christopher walken one of the greatest most intense scenes ever made so yeah but you're part of that and it's pretty cool thank you thank you charlie what movies did you turn down that sting the most and i'll tell you which one if it's opportunity knocks i'm so sorry if it's tommy boy i'm gonna be me i'm so sorry I was doing you and me.
31:14Dana Carvey:No, go ahead. I turned down White Men Can't Jump. Were you going to be Woody or Wesley? I would have been Woody, yeah. And then just coincidentally, a bit later on, I think it came after, maybe before, I turned down Indecent Proposal. Whoa. So I was waiting for Woody to send me some flowers and thank me for advancing his career like I did. Those were big. I found in Decent Proposal, you know, I'm a huge Redford fan. God rest his soul. End of Me More and everything. But I just found the movie very depressing. Woody's character was so like, I mean, that was the only thing I'd say about Dodge. I don't know.
32:00Dana Carvey:It just wasn't my favorite movie, although it's skillfully, brilliantly done. I just was like, you know. I couldn't get past the thing that, all right, they did that. He's got the money to, to, to, you know, to lessen the sting a little bit. Yeah. And then spends it all on that tchotchke. Right. Right. Like the little Jade elephant or something. Yeah. Yeah. Or am I misremembering that? No, there was something weird. It was a very. Charlie's love was real and it wasn't about money and it wasn't about this, but they still have to stay married and live with that moment. Right. With the thing with Threadford.
32:32Which is tough. Right. Charlie's agent wrote back, Charlie likes it, but wants to tweak the ending. Pretty much. They said, we're pretty locked in the ending. He said, that's a pass from Charlie. That's pretty much how we went.
32:48Dana Carvey:Did you see Brokeback Mountain and call your agent? Why the fuck wasn't I up for this? I have to admit, it's kind of one of those films that's always been on that unseen but need to get to it list. you know and i think that we all sort of have um yeah so i never i never saw it but i hear it's fabulous well it's it's yeah it's it's it's a little heartbreaking but yeah the performances are exceptional you know sure yeah good fellas good fellas we're up for that i was not up for good fellas no karate kid uh karate kid is is one that um that i actually had um i don't know if i could um classify it as turning it down or describe it as turning it down it's um i just i i you know it's in the book it's in the doc i think um and that i i just asked for some time because the advice from my dad was to was to stay to honor my word with grizzly and because i'd already you know committed to that fucking grizzly comes into the picture that fucking bear that bear ate me twice right jaws on land yeah grizzly um so he said um if if if they wait for you it's meant to be um if they don't then it's your you know your reputation being a man of your word is going to further than one big movie i i don't know from a from afar i i do have a lot of admiration for your dad i i did meet him and i did something with him one time it was just a a charity event We were all doing Shakespeare with Tom Hanks, but that's good.
34:31Dana Carvey:Yeah. Well, it was kind of like pretend fun Shakespeare. Was it in the park? They do that in the summer. No, it was in Santa Monica in the theater. It's a reading, right? Isn't it a reading? Yeah, but then we all go on stage and sort of kid around and are reading. You know, I'm doing impressions and things in Shakespeare. One thing I was going to ask is people who've been in brilliant films around brilliant people. uh the you know you've been across your your partner man or woman and went damn you know this this person is exceptional or someone who kind of took you back a little bit by just how great they were at this thing called acting sure who who who might those who was that i i wanted to bring up the elevator scene with your dad that that was one of those moments um when you actually you get distracted because you're you become an audience member and then wait but you're in the scene and shit it's my line uh you know what i mean it's like those moments and i had i had some of them with michael douglas on the same movie definitely had him definitely had him with dad um even though he's only in it you know just a little bit james spader in wall street i was kind of like going oh shit so they're doing it like that now you know what i'm saying it was like this whole cool thing um and then yeah it uh who else who else um oh shit um um michael j fox yeah just then we had a couple we had a couple scenes together um he he had transitioned out and i had stepped in oh but he but he wanted to stay close enough to it to to like to bridge the the the transition you know and and yeah we we we did some scenes together and and it was it was other level talent.
36:16I was like, whoa.
36:17Dana Carvey:He's stout. I mean, you look at Back to the Future, I sound like I'm doing Trump, but that's hard to do. And I know he replaced Eric Stoltz, who probably was great, but to be light, play it dramatic and ride that whole wave of those movies. Yeah. Michael J. Fox is, I don't know if he's underrated or appropriately appreciated. That's a great question, but it's interesting because there's a thing that I do describe in the book and it's it's it's really there for a reason uh you know not just to to celebrate and honor him but also because that's like that's my last outpost um before going on to two and a half so i was kind of symbolically implying like okay i borrowed a little bit from this dude you know because there was tons flying off of him and took it over to that thing and we know we saw how that thing went you know so well it's rare can you imagine how excited when they they get two and a half men together and chuck lorry and the cast is there and then you're just you're winning you're killing it like because it is a skill set and you started in spin city but then um it's hard to find a leading man handsome leading man who could also be very funny you So they must have been high-fiving at some point behind the scenes, just because you're great at this too.
37:43Dana Carvey:Thank you. Thank you. But it was just playing the straight man. And when I did it in the hot shots. But yeah. The hot shots, that's right. Well, when I did it in hot shots, I was borrowing a lot of stuff from Leslie Nielsen. Who better to borrow from? That was the theme. That was sort of the feel. love that movie hot shot oh thank you thank you and then i was borrowing stuff uh from ted dancing on cheers for two and a half but i know he's a sober bartender and i was a drunk jingle writer but just as far as the the straight man and and you know what i'm saying he's he's he's kind of the anchor and all the all the craziness revolves around you know orbits his his star his planet But you're not putting huge spin and overacting.
38:32You're not like Kramer. You know what I mean? You're just saying your lines and they sell themselves with good writing and they know how to write for you.
38:41Dana Carvey:It's hard to be a funny straight man like Andy Griffith was to Barney Fife. Right, right, right. Yeah, but thank you. But especially coming from you guys, come on, two, you know, veterans and, you know, extremely successful veterans. To get comedic compliments from you guys is really badass. So thank you. Well, don't you and your own personal life, you know, kind of fall in love with talent? You know, it's just kind of fun to watch, you know. And I was just maybe a clumsy thing, but, you know, I thought of people who get out fast, you know, and it's a rare, but it's kind of that are very talented.
39:22Dana Carvey:Like, well, I'm talking about Woody Allen and I'm talking about the Beatles, Bob Dylan, you know, by 21, 22, Brando. And you were kind of in that group in a way. I'm just saying loosely because you came out so good and so showed so much talent. But, you know, who musically, who's your who's your North Star? like when you, the canon of rock and roll, are you Pink Floyd? Are you, are you Neil Young or Led Zeppelin? Oh, I just watched that documentary on the plane. They were pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I think they got a shot. That's probably the legendary front man. Led Zeppelin. Yeah. What'd you think of the doc?
40:02Did you, did you, I thought it was pretty good. You know, I always like when it gets to more, I don't always like the beginning. I like to know just to where I knew them, you know and uh but it was very interesting and everyone loved it so i watched on the plane it
40:14Dana Carvey:was perfect i ate it up very quickly yeah yeah it's excellent what was your thoughts i love i i would have liked that they got to if they'd taken it to zep four right it could have gone there you go yeah yeah yeah because that's the one they only started to get to the stuff i really liked and i was like wait is that it it's over i was like go go go go yeah oh we're landing that's It was interesting for a doc to show them. I guess it was on a TV show or somewhere, but you showed them really jam for like 12 minutes or something. Like really go song to song. I think they showed one full song. I think it was rock and roll.
40:50They showed the whole song. I think you're right. Yeah. And I was like, this is the one that's probably, I mean, as good as any. Oh, question, Charlie. You collect things and I'm sort of been in your orbit. We're roughly the same age, roughly in showbiz. you're obviously doing a ton of stuff way more but in a weird way i remember i'd heard i was at an elvis auction at butterfield and butterfield in the old days i sometimes buy collectibles and shit i think you're in a maybe baseball cards i've always heard that and sure was there an elvis green amex you bought ever because i think i had my eye on one of those wow they said i think Charlie Sheen got it.
41:31You know, I'd love that. That's the kind of rumor that you want to embrace. That's a cool one. That's yeah. Cause then when the bill comes, everybody's kind of waiting for you to drop that. Cause you can buy. Dana, I bought an Elvis set list, you know, like he wrote on the, on some Michigan Hilton. He was writing all the songs like love me tender, his handwriting and shit. Oh wow. And so I bought that and I bought a gun he had and I bought something else, but I wanted this Amex, but it was too rich for my blood. And what did it, cause I didn't buy it. I, I, I never, this is the first I'm hearing about this Elvis auction.
42:10It sounds awesome. What, how much did the Amex go for? 50 ,000. 50 ,000. And that was 20 years ago because I was at the auction and Joey Esposito was there. So they were like authenticating stuff. And I bought a watch and I don't have, I don't think anything left from that because I lost the set list. But I bought stuff before and I thought, oh, I think Charlie does maybe baseball cards or maybe baseball. I don't know. Yeah. Are you in and out of that biz or not? I've sold everything. Okay. I should have come to that garage sale. Jesus Christ.
42:45Dana Carvey:What did you sell that was a little bit like? I had something from every era. I had a lot of Babe Ruth stuff. I had that famous long white overcoat that he's seen in tons of photos. Oh, had the coat? Oh, you had the coat? Yeah, yeah, I had the coat. I mean, there's probably more than one, but I had one of three probably. I had a lot of jerseys, had a lot of caps, a lot of hats, some great bats. But there was a turning point moment where, because I had these cool cases built at my house up in Malibu Lake years ago. and I had been to the Hall of Fame for the first time. And I thought kind of, this is back then, like in 1991.
43:30And I thought what they had, how they had set it up was a bit shoddy. I thought this, I could see like a moth, like down in the corner behind the glass. And I was like, what are they doing? Right. Yeah. And so I was inspired by it. I wanted my cases in my house to be like nicer than the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Right. And so we brought in the right people and, you know, And they delivered that, right? But then a couple years later, I was looking for something. I opened a dresser drawer up in my bedroom. And there's a 1941 Ted Williams road jersey, like just folded nicely and in the drawer.
44:11And I had that, you know, it's the area hit, you know, 406 and all that. And I had that moment of if I don't have room on a wall for this, like this is the last time that anybody ever did the thing he did while wearing that, then I need to recirculate a lot of these artifacts and antiques and just let others enjoy them. And then Leland's put together an auction and it was all sent back out into the world. Oh, interesting. And some cards. Are they not a Honus Wagner card? or was it i i had one called like the five pinhole card because they're they're just so good graded so anally and they have to describe everything and i guess i guess some kid back in the 20s like was sticking it up on a on a on a board or somewhere in his bedroom and oh and there was holes in it yeah but don't you think you'd at least just keep using the same hole why did he have these kids five holes um no those dipshits they're ruining cards for the future i don't know yeah they really were so but i'm sure that went a little pricey uh yeah it was it was up there but not nearly when that when that wagner card really got everyone's attention when gretzky partnered with um was it mcnaul gunny mcnaul and they paid like what they pay for that like 500 grand everybody was like this is out of control and now now you think about that that's like chump change right yeah I mean all that stuff just keep it's one of the few niche places that just keeps going up faster than stocks it's they just bought
45:50Dana Carvey:people have a passion and they collect their passion and even you know Jay Leno probably has made more money or you know he won't sell his cars no but he probably if he did he'd make more money off his passion than even his easily comedic career I have a friend who collects antique bottles, and his collection is worth$3 million. He's just dug them out of the San Francisco Bay because it was all landfill. And you go in there at night. I went with him, and you dig where they're excavating a building. Where you're digging down a hole, and then you see this little two inches of ash. And that's 1906, the earthquake and the fire.
46:25Dana Carvey:Then you go further, and you're pulling out shoes and stuff. Once in a while, you get a bottle that's worth$50 ,000. Wow. It's interesting to - Further, and you're in China. Yeah. You know, one thing I was going to ask Charlie about, because I was seeing all the Cooperstown as this, I want to have more. And we all have this 10 year old boy inside of us. And it's sometimes it's, it's necessary to have success is just to have a fair play, competitive instinct. They do that. I mean, Nicolas Cage was so competitive. I did a movie with him and we just made, made fun of the competition, you know, because, because Kurt Russell was in Tombstone and he had a line in the movie.
47:04Dana Carvey:You're going to throw down, boy, if you remember the movie, to Billy Bob Thornton, who weighed 220 pounds. So when Nicholas thought I did something good, you threw down, you really threw down today. Wow. What film did you guys do? The films I do aren't even on video, and they're banned from Earth. No, it was Trapped in Paradise. Oh, wow. We wandered around in the snow. No, we fell around in the snow, me, him, and John Lovitz for three months, and somehow they put something together. Okay. But Nicholas was a blast. He is, isn't he? One of the funniest and brightest guys I've ever met. Was he one of your Malibu guys up there?
47:44Dana Carvey:No, it's not Nicholas Cage, your relationship with him. Yeah. No, he's not a Malibu guy. He was a town guy and a Bay Area guy sort of back and forth. I'm sorry, what was the last question? Well, I just wanted to know about your relationship with him, you know, because you guys kind of hung out. I know there was, you know, extracurricular activities, but just as a person, I found him very charming. And he's one of my favorite people. We don't see each other enough, but when we do, it's quite special. Yeah, because you talk about his intellect, you know. And then you wrap that inside of this outlandish sense of humor just that is rooted somewhere outside of what us mortals can grasp.
48:37And it's an insane and beautiful mashup.
48:41Dana Carvey:He never saw acting as having to be accurate. He just found that you could do whatever you wanted with it. So he's doing a scene. It's this cheesy movie. And he's supposed to come in and kind of ask for forgiveness for this girlfriend or something like that. And he goes, I'm going to do Daniel Day-Lewis from my father in this take. So he comes. All of a sudden, he comes out screaming, falls to his knees. Why? Why? Why? And I was like, you can do that? I mean, he's a unicorn. There's no rules with him. There's no rules with him. And to have that kind of courage inside those spaces, it's to be marveled at, you know?
49:26Yeah. Oh, I got something. Was Tom Cruise in any of your early movies? Did you know he was going to be a big deal? We knew, yeah, pretty soon. Because when Sean's young brother, Chris Penn, dropped out of high school and bum rushed that set of Taps on the other side of the country. he came back talking about this guy named Tom Cruise. In my mind, I added a Z and I thought he was Latin. I thought he was a Mexican or a Spaniard or something. And then when I met him, I was like, oh, you're from Oklahoma. And then he smiles and then you start to engage his personality and his intellect. And you're like, yeah, this guy, there's something going on here for sure.
50:08But Emilio and he became really tight because they were auditioning for The Outsiders at the same time and helping each other prepare for their auditions. And then they both got it, the different roles. And they've been great friends ever since. So I was younger than them, so I was kind of like tagging along. But any time I've seen Tom over the years, wherever, he's awesome.
50:37Dana Carvey:you know well it's just become oh these last few years it's like you sort of just stand back in awe you know because i'm basically a baby you know i may be hung from a wire once but you know he's hanging on airplanes and i know like i'm strapped down he's holding his breath for six minutes i mean you can't even what the fuck so you have to see the movie what the fuck yeah right yeah yeah do you think at some point um he's gonna want to get back to like a magnolia right right oh yeah that right which was a work of art and he was spectacular in that yeah what you gotta respect the cock i'm sorry was that that was it that's it yeah yeah he said it better than i did but yeah um he's a force of nature it's funny because sandler has the ability to go from a paul thomas anderson movie to a big broad happy go more and he goes back noah bomb back then he He goes back to abroad.
51:37And I think Tom obviously can do anything he wants, but you're right. These are important, but mission impossible to top gun. It's huge, huge blockbusters, but what do you want to go small again? What do you want to go? He could get an Oscar. He's great.
51:51Dana Carvey:I think if Christopher Nolan called him or somebody, you might even get his attention. I think so. I think so. I mean, he does want to make movies that fill theaters and give people that, that, that, that, that experience that they, that connects them back to their childhood. That, that, that's really, He's the savior of that. I think he's made himself the guy, the spokesman. He and the filmmakers know this, but it was in Roman Holiday a long time ago, but basically nonverbal with music. So the end of Top Gun, you have a six minute montage of the end of the movie of people tearing up, no real dialogue and saluting.
52:24Dana Carvey:And we were alive and we did this. And I've seen other films do that F1 and where there's this silent movie added onto the movie. and it's very affecting, you know, that three or four minutes where you're seeing them in tears, looking at each other. And it's all, a lot of the blockbusters are using that now. So it's just kind of interesting to me. But Top Gun really got me emotionally because, you know, I hear Hans Zimmerman, I hear just the music. I'm kind of, it gets me emotional. And then you see Tom Cruise is really good at hugging someone, coming back. He's got this look and the teary eyes in the kitchen.
53:00Yeah, yeah. He insists that we experience that moment with him. Right. Right. Yeah. Now, is that the first Top Gun that you're referring to? Or is this the second one? The second one. Got it. Got it. Okay.
53:15Dana Carvey:Yeah. Which came out of nowhere. It was an in-movie theater big hit when the industry really needed it, obviously. And they tried to stream it, didn't they? Whoa. Yes. Not on his watch. Yeah. No. No. No. He stuck to his young gun. Speaking of that, in 1988. Thank God they didn't wait 30 years between grizzlies. Right? I mean, that would have been a disaster.

57:49Shit, I think we're out of time, Dana. I think we had a wrap with Charlie Sheen. Any wrap-up questions for this guy?
57:57Dana Carvey:Not really. I think the book is the book of Sheen, the documentary. I mean, we consciously, we talked about it. We know you've done a lot of press. We wanted to make this lighter and more fun and wanted to pick your brain about relationships with your dad or whoever. Sure. This has been incredibly refreshing. Good. That's what we wanted. Thank you. I'd like to believe that I get invited back. That'd be amazing. And then we can do it and be in the same room. Are you feeling okay with the thing that happened? Oh, yeah. I'm telling you. I'm just fine. I didn't want to give you anything, but yeah.
58:35Dana Carvey:No, no. And thank you. I appreciate that. But I do have a question for David. Yes. Good. And there was a weird moment during the fight, right? Okay. And Michael Irvin, he's a lovely man. Yeah. He's just beautifully all over the place, but what a good dude. But when I look over and I see Dave's name on the chair next to me, I was like, okay, all right, I'm going to have some backup. Reinforcements coming in. I don't know why I thought that, right? Yeah. So he sits down and I'm like, did they plan this knowing that this was already scheduled, right? So they finally cut the chairs apart. Everybody's having a great time.
59:21And I look up and I see this giant rig, like where they had speakers and the lights and the thing. It weighs like 400 ,000 tons, right? And I said to Dave, I said, if that breaks loose, we're clearly in the crush zone, right? And I said, are you cool if I'm the last guy on this planet that you interact with? And he took a beat. took a beat and and said something to the effect of yeah yeah i i think i'm okay with that and i said good because i'm okay with it being you too you know and so we really bonded there i felt like we bonded there man and clearly it didn't fall but is that no but i like that you put that in my head uh i think i was taking a beat because i was thinking what are the does he know something i don't is this going to fall and then marsh on lynch sat in front of me and blocked 110 of the fight oh my gosh his head is this big i go wow wait is the fight over i i go to watch on the screen now oh i do that all the time can this fall or is this also dana they show they show michael j fox on the screen and i go for no reason you can tell he's still mad at you charlie that was funny that was funny yeah based on nothing that was excellent that was fun

1:01:39I thought it was a fun comedy because it was Michael Zay Fox. I'm like, this movie took a dark turn and never turned back. Yeah, they're just, whatever. And Sean was hard on him during that film, wasn't he? Oh, on Michael Zay Fox probably. Method acting in a way. I had heard about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Apparently he was just, you know, none of the, didn't want to do anything. Because he's like, you're a sitcom guy, kind of. Maybe that, but also just the character. just oh yeah just a staggy character yeah resentment you know yeah yeah yeah alpha alpha yeah do you know i've only i've only worked with sean on two and a half men i've only really sean in a in a comedic setting he was brilliant it's it was our first episode second season and he's in a men's group and it was elvis costello and harry dean stanton and me and bobby cooper it was awesome um but isn't that a trip that the first time he and i actually yeah i thought you had I thought he was one of your old movies.
1:02:37No, just the stuff you see in the dock where he shoots me in my own backyard and then stuffs me in the refrigerator for Emilio to discover later on. It was nuts, you know? Yeah. He can be very funny, though. I think he went on Friends and was very funny. Such an interesting character.
