Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're gonna drink some tiger blood and take on these trolls.
It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm a little.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Early in the day for me, but let's get it
on before we get to Charlie Sheen, I wanted to
ask you about this, see if you know anything about it.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Starting next year and what is seen as a win
for Maha, Skittles, eminem and Starbust, Starburst and Extra Gum,
along with Kellogg's will stop using a lot of artificial
flavors in their products.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
No dye in skillets and iced tea.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
According to Al Sharpton.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Skittle is obviously very brightly colored in a way that
had to be well, it's not natural. And then like
fruity pebbles, is that a product or is that a
post product? But you know cereals that are brightly, brightly colored.
Is this is this significant at all? Is this a
big deal? Is this gonna make us healthier?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I've never really gotten a sense for how dangerous the
food dies really are. Early on, I got the impression
that was if you drink a hundred gallons of the dye,
you may get cancer type situation. But I don't honestly
know they don't do you any good.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
But I was following a story on another broadcast today
and how they've done studies that people like the brightly
colored They don't like gray skittles. They like brightly colored skittles.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Yeah, you're supposed to taste the rainbow.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, you can't taste the dull bo Yeah, coarse, people
like it. That's why they designed the product like that.
Give the people what they want.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
I'm looking at a picture of tricks without food dye,
and it does not look appetizing.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You have a picture of tricks without food dye, so
it would look like a little gray balls.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
No, no, they're not effing gray. Why do you always
say that?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
What are you?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Are you in the pocket of big dye? What is
the story?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Man?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
No, they are gray? No, I'm just what No, I'm kid.
I've seen the Canadian equivalents. They're just slightly less lurid.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Yeah, there's like no blues and greens. It's all reds, purples, oranges.
Wait a second, Canada doesn't have colored skittles. They're muted
because they got rid of the dies year ago, years ago.
They're pastal skittles. Huh okay, yeah, they got stronger rules
(02:26):
on that.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
I don't know. I just don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I'm at sea on this issue, and it's just not
on my list of things I have bandwidth for.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
No, I'm not worried about it in any regard. It's
just I don't want to eat gray fruity pebbles.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Are you quoting yourself as a six year old or
are you implying that you is not only a grown
ass man, but a man in the final chapter of
his days is eating fruity.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Pebbles in the winter of my life. If I want
to enjoy a full of fruity pebbles, I am going
to yes.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Eh boy, Okay, so that's that.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah, fruity pebbles.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
God, I just that made my teeth hurt. You don't
like fruity pebbles, Oh they're good?
Speaker 6 (03:15):
No, I like fruity pebbles.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait, we've been sucked in.
You're not allowed to talk about food because you're hard
of tasting. You've always been hard at tasting, and then
Chairman Chese Anthony Fauci endorsed bat fever took away your
sense of taste and sweet stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
But I do like I have stain. I've further abstain.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I won't dwell on this, but they've got to do.
Will shrink flation ever go away? So shrink flation happened
with inflation and everything shrunk down. But can they can
somebody just raise her hand, hey, say, hey, we made
a mistake. Can we go back to the normal sized boxes?
The price is gonna go up a lot, But you're
smart enough to realize right that you're gonna buy three
of the little boxes, now you're gonna buy one of
(03:58):
the big boxes for the same price. Are we all
on the same page. Okay, let's go back to the
normal sized boxes. Because I buy a box of cereal
and I haven't got smart enough yet to buy like
five at a time. But you buy a box a
raisin bran or something. It's a bowl and a half
a raisin bran. And my kids say, Dad, we're not
a raisin man. I bought raisin brand last night on
the way home from work.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Peanut butter a peanut butter jump site Jarge's like a
thimble of peanut butter.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Mmm.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I haven't seen documentation of this, but the one thing
I'm convinced of is that they are winding toilet paper
rolls less tightly. Oh yeah, because you go through much
much more quickly. They're the same size.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I was at a physical therapy thing. This is actually
months ago, and the guy was joking about I'm asking
my wife and darr how much tpdos? And I said, no, no, no, no,
wait a minute, it's not their fault. It's shrink flation.
I'll bet there's a tension adjustment you can do on
that machine.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Obviously.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
So you got your big pill willowie package.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Looks like you're getting a nice compliment of of TP,
but you're not.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
You getting deceived.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, anyway, you're wiping your hei knee with lies.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
How do you like that?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Will it? Will it ever go back? Is my question?
Will it ever go back? I would think just not
a convenience. They'll go back to like supersized boxes of stuff.
See you don't buy five of them. But anyway, it's very.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Olden age starts that Trump said We're headed for it.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So do you remember Charlie Sheen, the actor? I just asked,
So there's a documentary coming out, is that right, Michael?
Is that where we're going here?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Coming up on Netflix?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Let's hear the trailer, and then I can fill in
any of the empty stuff. If you don't remember, I lit.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
The fuse, you know, and my life turns into everything
it wasn't supposed to be. There's only one personal live
that has the cancers to so many people questions about me,
and the whole world goes. He's the guy.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Imagine what that did to my head.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
He was the highest paid TV star of all time.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Everything was fine for a while. Nobody got hurt, nobody
got arrested.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
For a while, he kept saying, no, no, no, I'm
in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready
for the show.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
When Charlie said that he was smoking seven Graham rocks,
he was. He was smoking seven gram rocks.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
When A can't imagine being my dad.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I have really hurt the people I love.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
The stuff that I plan on sharing. I had made
a sacred vow to only reveal to a therapist. Is
there going to be anything?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Paulf limits Now he sounds like he's better. He doesn't
sound like I mean, these are very edited, tiny little clips,
so I haven't seen the whole thing. He doesn't sound
like Hunter Biden, though, who's still blaming other people.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
For everything, right, Right, he's still delighted to profit from it.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I wasn't gonna tellnybody just got to make a living.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I wasn't gonna tell anybody but a therapist or somebody
who offers me whateverrobably was ten million dollars, so kind
of remember it. So all I said was to chat GPT.
This is all I said. I said, the Charlie Sheen
meltdown period of his life, and then I gave me
a timeline. That's all I said to it. It was
pretty handy. I had forgotten. This is mainly in early
twenty eleven, so it's quite a while ago. I had
(07:19):
forgotten that. At the time, he was the star of
Two and a half Men, the number one TV show
in America and the highest paid guy on all of television.
And that was a damn funny show. I just watched
like twelve episodes of that the other day.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh that show is so flipping good.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, So he gave a his erratic behavior, hospital visits,
rehab stints was interrupting production of the number one show
and all of television. And they're paying him a lot
of money. So that's kind of how the whole thing started,
and then he gave a series of bizarre, high energy interviews,
coining phrases like winning my energy, I love that. Let's
go on from the crack uh heuh, coined phrases like
(08:02):
winning tiger blood, tiger blood, I remember that. I don't
remember what that was, but and the first time I'd
ever heard the term trolls ever in my life was
from him.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I'm dealing with that, les and trolls.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So he was on the cutting edge of that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Remember he was friends with the crazy bearded relief pitcher
for the Giants, Oh, Brian Wilson. Yeah, so they had
the beard, so some of their language was tied into
each other because they were really close friends for the
twenty ten Giants World series winning team.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
And porn girls too. I remember, we're a major factor
in the tale.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So he gives the weird interviews and then constantly attacks
the show creator, Chuck Lourie, who is a guy running
Two and a half Men and paying Charlie the highest
salary in all of television. He kept attacking that dude. Finally,
in March of twenty eleven, after all that attacking in videos,
he gets.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Fired from two and a half men and that.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
You I don't mean to jump ahead, but we skipped
over because I hadn't thought of this in years. The
very last frame of the credits for two and a
half Men would be all this print that you couldn't
conceivably read unless you froze it. And for a while
there it was Chuck Glory telling Charlie Sheen Man, get help.
(09:19):
You gotta get your act together. You're gonna end up
debt or whatever. I don't remember the specifics of it, but.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, because it was late twenty ten when he kept like, sorry,
I can't go to work today. I'm in rehab. It
was late twenty ten that he was missing production for
two and a half Men, and Chuck Lory started doing
that stuff. And then it was March twenty eleven when
he got fired. So he was given a fair amount
of time, as you would as the biggest draw on
all of television at the time. Then spring summer of
(09:45):
twenty eleven, he goes on his violent torpedo of truth
to her and do you remember that, Yes, but he's
going around to stadiums and just being high and drunk
and like babbling, Oh, I forgot about that.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I'm rambling yes, bro, and I will I will destroy
you in the air and I will, I will, I
will deploy my ordinance to the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And then he did. He had that TV special where
he's there with the two hot blondes where we later
find out were like kind of captives kind of a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It was a pay per view.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, wasn't it. Yeah? That was that was That was
some crazy stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And then he returned to TV with the show called
Anger Management from twenty twelve to twenty fourteen.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
After being replaced by Ashton Kutcher on two and a
half Man.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Right, that's right, And according to chat GPTV, twenty eleven
period is considered the peak of his public breakdown, fueled
by substance abuse, legal disputes, and NonStop media coverage, and
it became one of the most high profile celebrity meltdowns
of the decade.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'd say probably the highest.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I remember when we talked about it every day, well
during that period of time, probably from the spring of
twenty eleven, we were talking about it every day.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Just see what he tweets, text it or said last night.
That was good times.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
I'm looking at one of the final credits that Chuck
Laurie put up at the end of the show. Yeah,
I exercise regularly. I eat moderate amounts of healthy food.
I make sure I get plenty of rest. I see
my doctor once a year, dentist twice a year. I
fly us every night. I see a psychologist. I don't drink,
I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I don't have crazy,
reckless sex with strangers. And if Charlie sheen outlives me,
(11:25):
I'm gonna be really pissed.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I remember when he did the rant I'm the highest
paid person into all television. I won an Oscar when
I was nineteen years old.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You on need to have off non wow.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Imagine.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
I mean, it's practically impossible to get a pilot made
in Hollywood unless you're really well connected. And then to
get it picked up is like an incredible victory. To
keep it on for a full season is it's like
making the major League, says he young. And then to
have it go to number one and then your star
cracks up and he's like publicly smoking rock and hanging
(12:09):
with porn stars and threatening you and the rest.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
What a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I haven't seen this documentary I don't know how much
he's got his act together now. Obviously he's still alive.
Do we have an age on Charlie Sheen, He's got
to be about sixty.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I would assume.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I feel like we're rough the same age. He's fifty
nine years old and according to he's quit everything. He
does have HIV, so he takes medication for that.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
But that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
How did he get that?
Speaker 6 (12:34):
He got diagnosed with it in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's have been from a dentist or something, right, yeah, probably, Yeah,
he he's very lucky that he lived through that, and
it's probably with the help of all the money he
had and being able to get him to the right
medical help at the right time where he'd be dead.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
If that was now I mean fentanyl, oh yeah and
everything yep, yep.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So yeah, you're doing powder drugs now. It's a daily
gamer Russian.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Year, right, he would have gone Chandler bing there.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, almost certainly.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Well, I might actually watch this documentary.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I'm definitely going to cool friend and coworker of mine.
Speaking of timing, Uh, he got the HVVY from needle
drugs and died died of AIDS. Really, just you know
fairly it was fairly a short time until they came
up with therapies that like say people. But yeah, he
died of it, so you know, old Charlie could have been,
(13:35):
you know, south of the surface of the Earth.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
There a number of different ways.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I remember when he'd post a video on YouTube like
every afternoon and I couldn't wait to watch it, and
he was just so out of his mind.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Oh yeah, it's sitting in like a darkened room with
two hangers on who laughed at his every word and
just granting on about tiger blood and well I remember
dragging fever and f eighteens and trolls.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I remember the one where he's behind the island in
his kitchen. He's standing behind it and he gets like
paranoid at some point and he like ducks behind the island.
It's like completely crazy.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Wow, wow.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I think that was the one when on a Friday,
I said, my prediction is he doesn't live through the weekend,
because I didn't think he would.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
But obviously, yeah, I'm sure there's a trove of those
somewhere to be enjoyed. If not just enjoy it on Netflix.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Well, we all have to sit in here and touch
ourselves and frown.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Hey, now you're criticizing my Hobby's right, that is what
I got planned for this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Well, I guess that's it.
We're gonna drink some tiger blood and take on these trolls.
It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm a little.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Early in the day for me, but let's get it

For everything, right, Right, he's still delighted to profit from it.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I wasn't gonna tellnybody just got to make a living.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I wasn't gonna tell anybody but a therapist or somebody
who offers me whateverrobably was ten million dollars, so kind
of remember it. So all I said was to chat GPT.
This is all I said. I said, the Charlie Sheen
meltdown period of his life, and then I gave me
a timeline. That's all I said to it. It was
pretty handy. I had forgotten. This is mainly in early
twenty eleven, so it's quite a while ago. I had
(07:19):
forgotten that. At the time, he was the star of
Two and a half Men, the number one TV show
in America and the highest paid guy on all of television.
And that was a damn funny show. I just watched
like twelve episodes of that the other day.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh that show is so flipping good.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, So he gave a his erratic behavior, hospital visits,
rehab stints was interrupting production of the number one show
and all of television. And they're paying him a lot
of money. So that's kind of how the whole thing started,
and then he gave a series of bizarre, high energy interviews,
coining phrases like winning my energy, I love that. Let's
go on from the crack uh heuh, coined phrases like
(08:02):
winning tiger blood, tiger blood, I remember that. I don't
remember what that was, but and the first time I'd
ever heard the term trolls ever in my life was
from him.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I'm dealing with that, les and trolls.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So he was on the cutting edge of that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Remember he was friends with the crazy bearded relief pitcher
for the Giants, Oh, Brian Wilson. Yeah, so they had
the beard, so some of their language was tied into
each other because they were really close friends for the
twenty ten Giants World series winning team.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
And porn girls too. I remember, we're a major factor
in the tale.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So he gives the weird interviews and then constantly attacks
the show creator, Chuck Lourie, who is a guy running
Two and a half Men and paying Charlie the highest
salary in all of television. He kept attacking that dude. Finally,
in March of twenty eleven, after all that attacking in videos,
he gets.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Fired from two and a half men and that.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
You I don't mean to jump ahead, but we skipped
over because I hadn't thought of this in years. The
very last frame of the credits for two and a
half Men would be all this print that you couldn't
conceivably read unless you froze it. And for a while
there it was Chuck Glory telling Charlie Sheen Man, get help.
(09:19):
You gotta get your act together. You're gonna end up
debt or whatever. I don't remember the specifics of it, but.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, because it was late twenty ten when he kept like, sorry,
I can't go to work today. I'm in rehab. It
was late twenty ten that he was missing production for
two and a half Men, and Chuck Lory started doing
that stuff. And then it was March twenty eleven when
he got fired. So he was given a fair amount
of time, as you would as the biggest draw on
all of television at the time. Then spring summer of
(09:45):
twenty eleven, he goes on his violent torpedo of truth
to her and do you remember that, Yes, but he's
going around to stadiums and just being high and drunk
and like babbling, Oh, I forgot about that.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I'm rambling yes, bro, and I will I will destroy
you in the air and I will, I will, I
will deploy my ordinance to the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And then he did. He had that TV special where
he's there with the two hot blondes where we later
find out were like kind of captives kind of a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It was a pay per view.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, wasn't it. Yeah? That was that was That was
some crazy stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And then he returned to TV with the show called
Anger Management from twenty twelve to twenty fourteen.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
After being replaced by Ashton Kutcher on two and a
half Man.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Right, that's right, And according to chat GPTV, twenty eleven
period is considered the peak of his public breakdown, fueled
by substance abuse, legal disputes, and NonStop media coverage, and
it became one of the most high profile celebrity meltdowns
of the decade.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'd say probably the highest.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I remember when we talked about it every day, well
during that period of time, probably from the spring of
twenty eleven, we were talking about it every day.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Just see what he tweets, text it or said last night.
That was good times.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
I'm looking at one of the final credits that Chuck
Laurie put up at the end of the show. Yeah,
I exercise regularly. I eat moderate amounts of healthy food.
I make sure I get plenty of rest. I see
my doctor once a year, dentist twice a year. I
fly us every night. I see a psychologist. I don't drink,
I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I don't have crazy,
reckless sex with strangers. And if Charlie sheen outlives me,
(11:25):
I'm gonna be really pissed.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I remember when he did the rant I'm the highest
paid person into all television. I won an Oscar when
I was nineteen years old.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You on need to have off non wow.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Imagine.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
I mean, it's practically impossible to get a pilot made
in Hollywood unless you're really well connected. And then to
get it picked up is like an incredible victory. To
keep it on for a full season is it's like
making the major League, says he young. And then to
have it go to number one and then your star
cracks up and he's like publicly smoking rock and hanging
(12:09):
with porn stars and threatening you and the rest.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
What a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I haven't seen this documentary I don't know how much
he's got his act together now. Obviously he's still alive.
Do we have an age on Charlie Sheen, He's got
to be about sixty.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I would assume.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I feel like we're rough the same age. He's fifty
nine years old and according to he's quit everything. He
does have HIV, so he takes medication for that.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
But that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
How did he get that?
Speaker 6 (12:34):
He got diagnosed with it in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's have been from a dentist or something, right, yeah, probably, Yeah,
he he's very lucky that he lived through that, and
it's probably with the help of all the money he
had and being able to get him to the right
medical help at the right time where he'd be dead.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
If that was now I mean fentanyl, oh yeah and
everything yep, yep.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So yeah, you're doing powder drugs now. It's a daily
gamer Russian.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Year, right, he would have gone Chandler bing there.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, almost certainly.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Well, I might actually watch this documentary.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I'm definitely going to cool friend and coworker of mine.
Speaking of timing, Uh, he got the HVVY from needle
drugs and died died of AIDS. Really, just you know
fairly it was fairly a short time until they came
up with therapies that like say people. But yeah, he
died of it, so you know, old Charlie could have been,
(13:35):
you know, south of the surface of the Earth.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
There a number of different ways.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I remember when he'd post a video on YouTube like
every afternoon and I couldn't wait to watch it, and
he was just so out of his mind.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Oh yeah, it's sitting in like a darkened room with
two hangers on who laughed at his every word and
just granting on about tiger blood and well I remember
dragging fever and f eighteens and trolls.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I remember the one where he's behind the island in
his kitchen. He's standing behind it and he gets like
paranoid at some point and he like ducks behind the island.
It's like completely crazy.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Wow, wow.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I think that was the one when on a Friday,
I said, my prediction is he doesn't live through the weekend,
because I didn't think he would.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
But obviously, yeah, I'm sure there's a trove of those
somewhere to be enjoyed. If not just enjoy it on Netflix.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Well, we all have to sit in here and touch
ourselves and frown.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Hey, now you're criticizing my Hobby's right, that is what
I got planned for this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Well, I guess that's it.
