| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Charlie is back.
There are some reports that you sent angry texts, made some comments that were a little alarming for me to hear.
Is he ready to face his truth?
According to Denise, you said, I'm going to kill you and I'm going to kill your mom.
I'm concerned as a father and a husband.
Was it a manic episode or a man on the edge?
It's claimed that you said it.
Coming up next.
What do you want to say to set the record straight about Denise and your kids?
When Charlie Sheen admitted on this show he was willing to confront his inner demons, it felt like a true turning point in a life and career that has been on a roller coaster for the past 30 years.
Today, Charlie Sheen is back.
He gets honest about his mental health and sets the record straight on the recent headlines that have called into question his integrity as a family man and committed father to his children.
Right now we're heading to see Dr. Robert Huizenga.
He's been my doctor for years.
Although chasing the cure is the top priority for Charlie Sheen, there is absolutely nothing more important to him than his family, which he shared with me in our recent conversation at his home in Los Angeles.
Kids teach us a lot.
Bob Yershon, though, when they Google your name, what do you want them to see?
They're going to see that dad's a true hero.
And helped a lot of people.
You're gonna see that dad overcame some stuff that was deemed insurmountable.
You're gonna see that dad rose above and didn't really care about what people thought about him or his methods or his beliefs.
And dad was the dad that we've always loved.
But not long after that conversation, Charlie's family life erupted in controversy.
Rumors swirled that Charlie was evicting his own children from their home, as ex-wife Denise Richards was in turn suing him for $1.2 million.
Then another bombshell.
Accusation surfaced that Sheen was selling the home he bought for another ex-wife, Brooke Mueller and their twin boys.
With Charlie's reputation as a father on the line, he's back in our studio to set the record straight.
Charlie Sheen is back.
He is ready to set the record straight on the latest headlines and controversies in his life.
There are so many things written about Charlie, and particularly of late, regarding his ex-wife Denise Richards, who is suing him for more than a million dollars, saying he sold the house that she and his daughters were living in from out, from under them.
So I'm going to ask these questions in part because many of them arose from habits you had developed.
And I want to give you the chance to respond honestly and honorably to everybody.
So let's start with Denise.
What do you want to say to set the record straight about Denise and your kids and your ability to take care of them?
I tried to implement what I called Operation Harmony because I've always felt that matters involving Custody matters involving children don't have to be worked out in a court.
It's just ugly and everybody loses eventually.
So I bought houses in my neighborhood for Brooke and the boys, Bob and Max, and for Denise and the girls.
I wanted everybody to be in the same neighborhood.
Everybody could just visit and stay where they wanted to stay and it could just be this...
Semi-progressive setting that I thought would lead to responsible co-parenting, to just a lot of time with the kids.
And that all went bad.
It went bad.
It's, you know, what's happening?
I'm basically being punished for giving her a house.
It doesn't make any sense.
And then, you know, I don't read a lot of stuff, but it was brought to my attention that a lot of this stuff was released because it was included in some court document.
And I just, my thought was, well, she's burning down the bank and then trying to rob it.
Okay.
That's how I felt.
And I didn't want to read any of that because I didn't see how it was connected to anything that was going on.
I'm not a stingy guy.
I've never gone to court for the child's report.
I've never done that.
We came up with a number a long time ago and I had a great job and everybody was...
Living large, and that's not the case right now, but there's still this expectation to keep paying this kind of money.
At some point, you just can't justify it, especially when there's no gratitude behind it.
I mean, none.
I'd send someone flowers every hour if I got that kind of dough tax-free.
Let me shift to Brooke Miller.
Yeah, sure.
Who has expressed concerns that the same thing might happen to her.
That you might not take care of her the way you're being accused by Brooke of not taking care of her.
You might sell the house that she's living with your two sons.
That she might not be able to live the way that she has been living.
Does she have reason to be concerned?
I mean, at some point you have to, you know, look at the reality of what's there and what's available and what's fair also.
I mean, geez, I'm going to have to sell my house.
If that happens, so what?
I'll get another one someday.
You know, it's not...
I don't know.
I mean, it's...
Again, I don't...
You know, when there's kids involved and all that, I try to keep stuff...
Private, but when it's out of my hands, when the privacy is completely roughshod over it, it's like I feel that whole thing's been hijacked.
Are you going to sell your house?
I don't know yet.
I don't know.
How much are you paying Brooke and Denise?
I think that was published too, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
$55,000 a month each, tax-free.
You could all live on that, right?
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
And that's been in place for years.
You know, I've never been stingy behind it.
Nobody's ever wanted for something and not had it, you know, within reason, obviously.
But...
Yeah, it's time to change that, too.
You know?
So, Charlie, there were some reports that you sent angry texts, made some comments that were a little alarming for me to hear.
So, I actually just jotted them down.
And these are all, you know, I have no proof that these happened.
You can confirm them or not.
There's one text that was widely reported as being sent...
By you, to your daughter, to Lola.
It said, your dad is a rock star genius and your mom is a blank, I can't use the word, wart.
Do you think you sent that?
I don't know.
I mean, I'm sure.
I probably did, yeah.
And it's regrettable.
Can I quote this other...
Do they get better?
No.
I ask these questions because I don't know where these came from, but I think when we find where they came from, we want to deal with that.
What I would love to see, though, is the text that led up to this stuff.
That's what's always omitted.
Always.
Thank you.
Let me go to the more concerning.
And this is, again, something you apparently said verbally.
Okay.
Again, according to Denise, you said, you called Lola, I blank, pig blank.
I can't use the words again on television.
And this is the part that I'm going to focus on.
I'm going to kill you, and I'm going to kill your mom.
That's impossible that I wrote that.
I would never, I would never.
It's claimed that you said it.
Oh, said it.
Oh.
I mean, is it much better?
Aren't you alert?
I'm concerned as a father and a husband.
I would never speak about any of my children like that, ever.
Ever.
And I would never threaten their mom.
No, I would never.
That's not who I am.
I wouldn't do that.
If...
Humor me.
If you did say that on a voice message or it was overheard by your kids, in one of your possessed, maybe roid rage settings, one of these manic episodes where you've acknowledged you get possessed sometimes, if you did say that, how would you explain it?
What would you say to your family now?
If I said that.
Well, you've got to own your, you know...
You're on crap.
I would apologize and just hope to move forward.
I mean, what else can you do?
What else can you do?
I sat with you in your house with beautiful pictures of kids behind you and heard you talk about your undying love for them, the desire you have to be a better father.
I almost sensed regret in your voice as you spoke about it.
Yeah.
It's hard to be a better father to children that you never see.
So there's a possibility they may be seeing you right now.
You can look at the camera if you want.
What would you say to them?
Dad loves you and misses you.
Like I always do.
And what would you do to make sure that that never happened again?
Whether it did or not, that the text, the voicemails, the messages, that that wasn't part of the future Charlie Sheen.
I just wouldn't do it.
It's simple math.
I wouldn't let myself get to a place where that is the result, you know?
And I think everything I'm doing in my life right now would prevent behavior like this.
I have confidence in that.
Have you had an opportunity to talk to Denise or Brooke?
About the changes you're making?
Not really, no.
There hasn't been a real open dialogue as of late.
I mean, I guess they could just tune into your show for the updates, you know?
Don't you want to have that conversation?
I would love to have an open dialogue, but it has to come from both sides.
All right, thank you.
When we come back, Charlie's going to give some advice to a high-profile football player I'm going to ask him why and a couple more questions you want to hear.
Stay here.
Now, a lot of folks are sort of surprised that you would reach out to support Johnny Mandel and give him some advice You haven't been a poster child for good behavior.
What was the purpose of the tweet?
Charlie Sheen's your life coach.
It's gone really bad, you know.
Uh...
Your favorite daytime stars like you've never seen them before.
Tamar Braxton.
I thought I had a cold.
I was taking cough medicine.
The condition that almost killed her.
Soap star Maurice Bernard.
One night I got violent with my father.
His brutal battle with bipolar disorder.
I don't like to be that person.
I just want to get fixed.
Inside, the secret health battles they've been fighting behind the scenes.
All new Oz.
This I've never talked about.
That's coming up tomorrow.
Johnny Manziel, the talented but polarizing young quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, is no stranger to controversy.
From outrageous partying and run-ins with the law to sobriety issues and a rehab stint, Manziel makes headlines seemingly every week.
But it was Charlie Sheen who found himself in hot water after sending the notorious NFL star what he thought was a message of support on Twitter.
We are back with Charlie Sheen.
He recently reached out to football star Johnny Menzel who reportedly has a history of sobriety problems.
And here's the tweet you sent.
You said, it's time to refocus all your energy on health and football.
And this is the important part to me.
It's never too late to get a fresh start.
Now, Charlie, a lot of folks are sort of surprised that you would reach out to support Johnny Manziel and give him some advice.
You haven't been a poster child for good behavior.
Sure.
So you're asking, why would Charlie want to give advice, and what was the purpose of the tweet?
I saw another news story pop up that he was involved in some other conflict or something.
I didn't...
You know, again, if I'm not there, I don't know what happened.
That's how I view it.
But I just...
I talked to him on the phone once and...
He made a comment about me after a big game when he was in college, and he mentioned that I was one of the people he wanted to hang out with.
I was very flattered, you know, and so we've had sort of this cosmic connection.
Never met the man, but again, we did speak on the phone, and he couldn't have been nicer, and I just saw he was going through stuff I've gone through, and I just...
Reached out because I hoped that, you know, others would have reached out to me when I was doing, you know, some of my low points.
So it was just a...
I think I caught a little bit of heat for it, and I don't know why.
It just seemed like the guy needed an attaboy or a heads up, you know?
Well, there's a humanistic value of an attaboy, but there's also...
The ability to offer advice because you've been there.
Right.
Yeah, which is what I, you know, then everybody, there was a lot of comments about Charlie Sheen's your life coach.
It's gone really bad, you know.
So that wasn't my antenna.
Just wanting him to know that somebody out there was thinking about him and...
It could possibly help, you know?
I've always found that people who have been down and out have insights that are unique.
I love talking to alcoholics, for example, who have stopped drinking.
Because they've been places I've never been.
They have insights I can't possibly garner.
So what would you tell Johnny Manziel, who's sitting right here, and actually needed and wanted and would listen to your advice?
I would tell him to bring everything back to basics, to recommit to whatever got him to this level of greatness.
We've not seen what this young man is capable of yet as an athlete, and so we're a little bit robbed as a sports viewing public.
And I would just tell them that, you know, if that has to be, if you have to pursue those things, they're not going anywhere.
But football and your life could be, you know?
People probably gave you similar advice.
Of course they did.
And it's just, sometimes it's, you know, you're not in a place where you can hear it.
Or you're in the wrong audience.
In the audience of the wrong person, rather.
A lot of it has to do with timing and where you're at here.
So you used to use alcohol to cope, much as I suspect Mr. Menzel's doing.
Yet you've changed, at least for the last few months.
So how do you cope now with the continuous stresses that exist in everyone's life?
Um, it's, you know, I just know that, you know, if I get loaded, then the problems are all still going to be there.
I'm just going to now just add a hangover and some records to it, you know?
So it's just taking that pause, you know?
And knowing that there's a better version of me to handle whatever's in front of me than the guy who's...
You know, getting lit up.
So, because I have so much experience doing it that way that this is kind of, you know, a lot more interesting.
Let's take a little break.
We'll be right back.
Woo!
Right now I'm heading to see Dr. Modir.
I'm interested to hear what she has to say.
I don't completely understand the entire essence of being bipolar.
There is some behavior in the past that when I look back on it, it feels like some otherworldly possession was upon me.
It's a hot new trend in weight loss.
T-toxing.
I lost about 5 pounds and I feel great.
It was not good.
I had ******.
Is it safe?
All new Oz.
That's coming up Friday.
We're back with Charlie Sheen.
Charlie and I had our first breakthrough on his mental health when I spoke with him at his home.
I asked him about his legendary mood swings.
In retrospect, that might have been the first time Charlie started to take his state of mind as seriously as his HIV. Do you have a lot of ups and downs in your emotional coping with the world?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
But they're not as severe as they used to be.
Charlie Sheen and I first talked about the state of his mental health in my one-on-one interview at his home.
Have you ever thought that maybe you're manic?
That you have these incredibly creative times when you're just, everything's alive and you're in Technicolor?
And other times when everything's gray and dark?
Yeah, I've been, I've been, uh, been described as that, been diagnosed as that.
I followed up with Charlie a few weeks later in our studio.
How seriously you've taken that possibility.
That there's a chemical imbalance that almost pushes you to make some of the decisions you make.
It may make you prone to addiction.
I introduced Charlie to Dr. Shala Modir, double board certified in psychiatry and addiction.
I'm going to ask her to work with me and you.
Okay.
And maybe if you're okay, it'll go beyond the scope of what we're talking about here today.
I'm not opposed to investigating that aspect of myself.
If I've come this far, I might as well just fix it all.
Charlie agreed to follow up with Dr. Modir after he returned home to Los Angeles.
Right now I'm heading to see Dr. Modir.
I'm interested to hear what she has to say.
But as the ride progressed, so did Charlie's stress.
I don't completely understand the entire essence of being bipolar.
I just always thought of it as being bipolar.
Just creative and at times psychic.
Perhaps if it's presented a little more evenly or a little more understandably, it's maybe something I can get my head around.
Charlie was clearly uncomfortable facing his demons.
There is some behavior in the past that Then when I look back on it, it feels like some otherworldly possession was upon me.
I don't even see myself in those moments.
So it might be nice to unlock some of that mystery.
- Hello, how are you?
- Good to see you again.
- Nice to see you again.
- Dr. Maudir.
- Everything all right?
- Hi, okay. - Charlie and Dr. Maudir remained in treatment for over an hour and a half.
We haven't even finished our assessment yet so I think you know creating great relationship is the first step to being able to move forward in a healthy way.
I was really happy to see that Charlie came and he's authentic and honest.
I think we're off to a great start.
What surprised you about the visit?
What did you not expect?
You feel like you're possessed sometimes.
Yeah, it was a very specific period of time that did feel very out of body.
I felt superhuman.
Has the possibility that you may have a bipolar disorder come up?
Could that explain some of these possessed events?
Your favorite daytime stars like you've never seen them before.
Tamar Braxton.
I thought I had a cold.
I was taking cough medicine.
The condition that almost killed her.
Soap star Maurice Bernard.
One night I got violent with my father.
His brutal battle with bipolar disorder.
I don't like to be that person.
I just want to get fixed.
Inside, the secret health battles they've been fighting behind the scenes.
All new Oz.
This I've never talked about.
That's coming up tomorrow.
We're back with Charlie Sheen.
Charlie, what surprised you about the visit with Dr. Modir and what did you not expect?
I didn't expect to be understood that completely that quickly.
I think it helped that her and I had a little bit of time out here.
I think it helped that there was, you know, some groundwork was laid between us.
But yeah, that's the part that really, really, just her immediate insight was really, really impressive.
And I only get smarter hanging out with smarter people.
And that's how I felt around her.
It's the only way you get smarter, you know?
It's true, isn't it?
Yeah.
I know it's still very early in the process and you probably don't have a firm diagnosis and all, you know, the time that's needed is important.
Yeah.
We initially had wanted to have Dr. Muldeer come out and visit like she did the last show.
Right.
And you took a very firm stance that you did not want her here.
No.
No, nothing against her.
I just think there has to be some portion of this, some part of it that I have to keep somewhat private, you know?
Wow.
A little bit.
When I heard that...
Right.
Thank you.
I was very proud of you.
Thank you.
Yeah, no, I just felt like there should be some...
You know, a closed-door aspect to it, and I think then therein will perhaps lie some great progress.
Well, it's not yet, but you've acknowledged, we've talked about the noise that you feel afflicts you sometimes, the chaos in your career and your money and your relationships.
How was working with Dr. Modir, how was dealing with...
That mania that sometimes afflicts you, gotta help.
I'm just looking for some tools.
I'm looking for some tools and I think she's got them, you know?
And if she doesn't, I'm sure she'll guide me to where they might be, you know?
You say things, you do things, historically you have.
Right.
That you don't recognize.
You mentioned earlier the fact that you feel like you're possessed sometimes.
Yeah.
Describe that person.
Well, that was really that whole post two and a half meltdown.
That was a very specific period of time that did feel very out of body and very just detached from all things real, you know.
I felt superhuman during some of that.
I felt...
It was a lot of highs and lows.
But yeah, it's...
Physically superhuman?
Yeah.
I was taking a lot of testosterone cream, you know, and I think I went too far with it.
So it was kind of like a borderline, not a roid rage, but a roid disengage, you know.
Yeah, and that's the stuff that I do look at and kind of...
I cringe a little bit behind, you know?
What did you not like about that person?
It's a tough question.
Because there were things about that person that were empowering, that were vibrant, that I felt alive, you know?
Whether or not he was in some suspended state or not.
I didn't like the anger.
I tend to be victimized by my anger at times.
I think we all do.
I think people can harness rage as a drug in certain instances.
So what did you do about it?
How did you get past that?
It all just stopped.
And now that you've talked to Dr. Modir and these topics are starting to come up, Has the possibility that you may have a bipolar disorder come up?
Could that explain some of these possessed events?
Her and I aren't totally there yet, you know?
But I told her if that's something that we stumble across together, I'm not going to pretend like it wasn't on the menu, you know?
So you're open to that diagnosis?
Um...
You're heading in such a positive direction.
It's also a very dangerous time.
I have always found people who have addictive personalities, manic elements to their life.
Maybe it's the right time to self-sabotage.
Do you worry about that at all?
It's a hot new trend in weight loss.
T-toxing.
I lost about five pounds and I feel great.
It was not good.
Is it safe?
All new Oz.
That's coming up Friday.
We're back with Charlie Sheen talking about the steps he's taking to get control of his mental health.
So, are you open to a bipolar diagnosis?
Yeah, why not?
Sure.
Good.
That's a big step.
A huge step.
Well, thank you.
I don't know what that step is, though.
Just to be open to the possibility.
Sure, I'm open to it.
So, in the middle of all this craziness, all the press that was breaking on these tweets and this alleged comment you made to Lola, you ran to Cabo, Mexico.
Which, I didn't know what that was about when it happened.
I only found that from you because you sent me a quick text.
What goes on down there?
Why did you decide to make that move?
And how did that bring you calmness in all this?
There's a different frequency down there that I really dial into down in Mexico.
It's a different way of life.
L.A. is getting very toxic and very crowded.
I just like to fish.
I like to sit by the ocean.
It's where I'm supposed to wind up, perhaps.
So how do you bring the calm you feel on that fishing boat?
Back into your life in LA or wherever you happen to be?
It's funny.
We didn't set that question up.
I'll always tell everyone I'm with in those moments, I'll say, just keep a little piece of this because there's going to be a time back somewhere else where you're going to need it.
And we actually just own a piece of it and it stays with you.
And it helps you.
It helps a lot, yeah.
Through all this, you've been in contact with your parents.
Sure.
What kind of advice are they giving you?
They're fabulous.
They're amazing.
What a lucky, I mean, wow, to have those two as two of my original and still my heroes, you know.
Yeah, they've been nothing but supportive.
They've been nothing but loving.
They get involved as much as they think I want them involved.
They mind their own business when they think they should.
They're very appropriate.
They know how to...
How to help me in certain situations and how to manage stuff that's going on around me.
There's no judgment.
That's always been our thing.
My parents don't judge.
And they say you can always go home and I can still go home.
You're heading in such a positive direction.
It's also a very dangerous time I have always found for people who have addictive personalities, manic elements to their life because now the big idea starts to bloom of maybe I really can't do this long term.
Maybe it's the right time to self-sabotage.
Do you worry about that at all?
No, I really don't.
Again, this is exciting because it's fresh again.
I have so many experiences and so many stories from making different decisions.
It's not nourishing.
I'm actually finding a lot of...
There's some great highs in this whole journey, you know?
Doesn't always have to be stuffed into a pipe, you know?
What's the good life mean to you?
What is Charlie Sheen's good life?
What is the good life?
I guess...
This feels good.
This feels good.
I mean, what I'm doing right now, you know, I guess it would just, you know, I'm always striving for harmony, whether it's internal or with my family or, you know, just in all parts of my life.
If I can achieve just a sense of harmony, then that's my version of the good life.
Up next, what Charlie's tone of voice says about his health, the cutting edge stress test Charlie took for me, and why it might help you too.
I'll be right back.
Dr. Oz?
The ShareCare phone app that I'd sent Charlie monitored his stress and reactions.
This is interesting.
I don't need to go to Dr. Moderium.
It's all right here.
Your favorite daytime stars like you've never seen them before.
Tamar Braxton.
I thought I had a cold.
I was taking cough medicine.
The condition that almost killed her.
Soap star Maurice Bernard.
One night, I got violent with my father.
His brutal battle with bipolar disorder.
I don't like to be that person.
I just want to get fixed.
Inside, the secret health battles they've been fighting behind the scenes.
All new Oz.
This I've never talked about.
That's coming up tomorrow.
This is Zao and this is Kate, both rescued.
They're just the ones I've known all my life, they're so much more grateful and they bring it back.
And you just bond with them deeper because they know that you saved their life.
Right, Kate?
Thank you.
So, but they're a lovely addition to this oasis, you know?
We are back with Charlie Sheen, part of coming to terms with HIV is controlling anger and outbursts, and Charlie says those rescue dogs help them do just that, and they are cute.
Thank you.
Now, in the past, in the past, you have not always handled stress ideally.
Walk me through what would happen three years ago, a year ago, six months ago, when you got stressed out.
Hey, just go right to the bottle.
To the bottle?
Yeah, just right to a drink.
Yeah, that's the quickest fix, you know.
I mean, I'm not joking.
Those are nervous laughs.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, but I don't have to do that, you know?
I don't have to do that.
No, you don't?
No.
So what do you do right now?
Because you still have stress, as we all do.
Well, I think exercise helps.
I think diet helps.
I think, you know, positive outlook helps.
I think there's a lot of ways to get through the stress without...
I'm not making a hammer, you know?
So, measuring stress is hard.
We talk about it a lot, but actually putting numbers on it's difficult.
So I wanted to see how Charlie handles stress during important parts of his everyday life.
For most of us, that's when we're on the phone.
So, Charlie spends a lot of time on the phone with his friends, but also his doctors, doctors, lawyers, family, business associates.
When you're talking to all these folks, do you think you're calm?
Do you think you're stressed?
Angry?
Frustrated?
It depends on what they've called with.
It depends on what the matter at hand is that we're discussing.
I think it's subject-driven, yeah.
So I decided to do a little science experiment with you.
Charlie participated willingly, thankfully.
We wanted to test Charlie's stress using a cell phone.
And this is a very straightforward technique.
It's an app that our partners at ShareCare have developed.
It analyzes your stress level based on your voice, what your voice is actually sounding like during your phone calls.
Not the words you're using, but the actual tone of your voice.
So let's see how Charlie did while he was on the phone, as an example, with me.
Dr. Oz?
Hey, how are you, man?
It's been really interesting.
It's been really interesting.
The first meeting we had was pretty mind-blowing.
I think you're going to be really excited to sit down with these guys, you know?
As we continued our chat, the ShareCare phone app that I'd sent Charlie monitored his stress and reactions.
Awesome.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
I'll talk to you soon.
Giving Charlie his results after we ended our call.
You're almost productive and you seem nervous.
You seem mildly nervous or uncertain of how you may be perceived, although you try to show a relatively positive, pleasing or friendly, learn more, attitude.
Your attitude seems to be associated with you wanting to be polite or to be respectful, or with being hesitant about the possibility of letting someone down.
I don't need to go to Dr. Maudiere.
I mean, it's all right here.
So, I've got the app here, you know, it's right there, and then I read this thing, and I'm wondering, did you really find that the assessment was pretty accurate?
It was very accurate.
It was frighteningly accurate, yeah.
Eerily.
Yeah, eerily.
So you were telling me what I wanted to hear.
There was some people-pleasing going on, sure.
But it's also, I mean, I was on camera.
You knew I was using the app.
There were certain parts of the experiment that were a little bit rigged, you know.
Less than organic, is what I'm saying.
I mean, I get it, and when the app is available for an iPhone, I see its value.
The reason I wanted to use the app to understand what your voice was telling people was because I wanted you to understand what your voice was saying.
Okay.
And I'm wondering if you tend to people please sometimes even when you're not using the app.
Do you want people to be happy when you talk to them so therefore you tell them what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear?
I think it varies from person to person.
I think it's oftentimes dictated by the scenario that you're in with certain people.
Yeah, it's...
I think we all have people pleased to a certain extent.
I think we all innately want to be liked, want to be appreciated, want to be heard, want to matter.
I think that that comes out in our Communication, you know?
So one last bit of data.
Thank you for being a lab experiment.
I wanted to look at your sleep.
So when you were on last time, you used this ResMed sleep device.
The one I happened to use personally.
Right.
It gave you a grade of a 60. Yeah, it's not great.
Not great.
D minus.
Like, you know, you almost flunked.
Yes.
It's hard to flunk sleep.
But you actually were upset by this.
And you went and you got another, you know, evening under your belt.
And here's the more recent one that I'm going to share with everybody.
You got a 75. Not bad.
Yeah.
It's Gentleman C. Do you feel like your sleep is improving?
My sleep is really not...
Yeah, it's fine.
I mean, I don't...
I can't sleep 10 hours, but if I get a solid 6 or 7, I'm good to go.
Nightmares.
Not really, no.
You sleep through the night usually?
I wake up a couple times, but I don't stay up.
I mean, do you wake up because you've got a prostate issue, or do you wake up because you're worried about something?
We'll have to go to the bathroom, yeah.
Okay, prostate, good.
That's normal.
Waking up because you're perseverating on stuff.
No, I don't do that, no.
Problems will be there in the morning, you know.
And let me...
Problems will be there in the morning.
Let me ask you the most important question I ask all the patients I take to the operating room.
Okay.
And it's one I want you to think about.
Okay.
But I ask them to explain why their life is worth saving.
What is it they're going to do with their life that makes it so precious they've got to fight with every ounce, and so do I, to make sure they thrive and survive?
You can answer this right now.
It's best to answer without a lot of thought.
Because I matter, and I've got something to contribute.
We'll be right back.
It's a hot new trend in weight loss.
You've heard of detoxing.
What about T-toxic?
I lost about five pounds and I feel great.
It was not good.
Is it safe?
Then, you love the smell, but are your scented candles toxic?
How much of these chemicals are in the air around us?
We sniff out the truth in our investigation.
What is this stuff?
You want this in your lungs?
All new Oz.
That's coming up Friday.
We are back with Charlie Sheen taking more of your questions.
Actually, you know what?
You go first.
Less of a stretch.
Hi, Charlie.
I'm Tricia.
Hi, Tricia.
How are you?
Better seeing you.
My question is, what is the example you want to set for your children?
Like going through all of this, what would be the message you'd give to them, you know, given what you've gone through?
I would hope that they would learn from, you know, the things I've screwed up and also learn from the good stuff I've done.
So I would hope that they would just learn from all of it and not be afraid to ask Dad the tough questions, you know?
I was just wondering how you've been finding the support from your peers and your friends, and if anyone in particular has surprised you with their support?
It's been nothing but love, seriously.
Even in the streets, everywhere I go, you know, people will jump out of their car and run across the street to shake my hand, and you can't put a price tag on that moment, you know?
Everybody is well-wishing, and it's really, it's really, I thought I'd be afraid to leave my house, and that is the exact opposite of what's going on, you know?
Pretty cool.
Thank you.
One last question.
Come on over.
Go ahead.
Hi, Charlie.
Just wanted to know, what is your relationship with Denise now?
Is it better?
Is it in a good place?
It's not in a great place.
But again, you know, it takes both sides to come to some sense somewhere.
I'd be willing to reach out.
You know, I think it's important.
It's got to start somewhere.
It's got to start somewhere.
And it's for the kids, you know?
Yeah.
Charlie Sheen.
Remember, Hackman healthy starts at home.
